This might not be the most surprising considering my posting frequency, and I want to make a proper announcement video at some point.

I'm at a point in my life where having any sort of social media presence, especially a polished one, is impossible, no matter how much I try to fit it in there. I don't want to say I'm quitting. I still love to draw and animate, but because I grew up on the internet, I've failed to get comfortable with just creating, I'm a perfectionist. Oddly enough that leads me to making nothing at all.

Regardless of what I end up doing, I think it's about time I turn away from this account, and maybe for good. I'm not deleting it, this is an archive of growing up with my art in a weird way. But I no longer want to make content for this channel, and if I continue making content at all, I'm tired of caring about it being finished, or shaded, or detailed. I don't have time to worry about that.

There's a lot going on in my personal life, and I've spent too much time being absent from it.

I will not be abandoning my ocs, and I have no commissions I'm working on at the moment. If you want to follow my wip account it's linked in my bio

again, I don't plan on quitting entirely, but I think it's better to keep to my public sketchbooks if I'm gonna be on social media.

may or may not be going on hiatus again. I don't really know. Drawing has been feeling really weird lately, like physically. It's not causing any pain or numbness. I don't know what's going on, maybe I'm just creatively burnt? Realistically though it's a bunch of reasons. I know I shouldn't keep hatching in my artwork though, not to the current extent lol

I'll still have commissions open and what not, contact me if you need anything

SYMMETRY TOOL ICONS!

These were always an option, but this commission type is specifically focused on practicing shape language for me as well as getting a better grip on my own artstyle

If you are using PayPal, please provide proof that you have successfully commissioned someone else

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU
*Character refrence and the species of your oc
*preffered expression/ personality
*tell me a little about them!

not doing split payment on this

The rules are a little different than usual to save time, if you are uncomfortable to provide full payment upfront I completely understand (do note that it's not expected until after we discuss what the art will look like, and I still dont accept payment until I know im able to work)

doing a max of 10 of these, I don't expect the slots to fill up much faster than I can work on them. If there ends up being a line, then turnaround time will vary. Estimation is around a day, and not over a week.

it's my birthday, so for the next 24 hours i am now entitled to all of your finances (THIS IS A JOKE)

I bought some baking supplies and stuff I needed for dinner and I'm so excited!! my mom was worried about me standing over an oven all day but,, it's fun?? I'm just gonna have some friends over and we'll watch some movies together, then tomorrow I'll actually have some sort of party. I don't do much in the sense of parties, I just make sweet treats and put on a good show, it's really all about having good food and funny conversations.

I'm genuinely so excited to force feed my friends and family home-made cake
I'm thinking chocolate cake with stabilized whipped cream frosting I SHOULDVE GOTTEN STRAWBERRIES NOOOOO

If you saw the unfinished version of this post, no you didnt. (I wasnt looking at where my mouse was and hit enter, whoops)

I had to delete my last post, but I still stand by most of it.

When I said I wasn't a crisis worker, it was to set a boundary. Although I can provide comfort to people, I need it to be known that I am not able to handle situations like these. I don't want that to make it seem like these problems are too big, because no matter where you are at, your voice deserves to be heard. However I stated many, many times that I am not a professional.

I am sorry if this post seems disrespectful. I am sorry if offering my dms in the first place was a bad idea, since it could've opened a pandoras box of parasocial connection. I simply wanted to provide a sense of community because shits scary right now and it was the first thing I could think of.

You are loved, you are important, if you are angry then let that turn into art. Don't let fear back you into a corner. Take care of yourself because it pisses stupid people off (and I don't know about you, but thats a great feeling imo)

If you get the energy, look into how to help your community. I'm talking about where you live. Volunteer, get out there, maybe just start with baking cookies for your neighbors. VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS. If you live in an area without a whole lot of people, and you feel alone, just know that you have community online. No matter where you are in the world you will be cared about.

New upload tomorrow!! and then I'll probably upload another ych. I'll get back to working on a personal animation with the time I have between uploading, since ychs don't typically close on the same day.

outfit idea for Nova, kind of based off a dress I grew out of.
