Update!

TLDR: I'm going back to my day job so art might slow down slightly after I catch up on comms but not by much. I'll be doing much more here on Patreon, and thank you thank you thank you for all the help these past few months

For the past few months, I have been working on my art full time basically! While it's been quite the learning process in many respects, it's worked out well and I've really enjoyed it! This has always been a dream job for me!

Early this morning though I received a call back from my old job that had laid me off, and I decided I'll be going back there for the time being. So this will take up a bit more of my time so the current batch of commissions I have will be taking slightly longer to get done, probably just by a few days as I don't wanna keep people waiting, so I'll be pretty busy for the next week or so lol

However, this won't mean that my output will slow down by much, as I have been wanting to transition from a day job to art for some time now, I would just prefer to do it on my own terms rather than hitting the ground running after getting laid off lol

So for the next 6-8 months maybe I'll be putting a lot of my efforts here on Patreon after I finish my commissions. I know it's been a bit of a struggle finding a balance between everything, but thank you all for being on this site for my extra works, it really means a lot to me. I have a lot of ideas I want to do and I want to use the Patreon to explore some of them! I may look in to making a new tier for full bodied sketch requests if anyone are interested in those!

It's been a very long few months for me but it's really helped me figure out a lot of how I wanna take things with my art

In August, 2 weeks before I lost my job, I lost my dog of 13 years, who was my best friend in the whole world. It honestly broke me, and for a while there my life fell apart. But I had a lot of good people around me from this community that helped me pick myself back up and for short time, helped me realize that my dream job can be a reality

So for anyone who supported me by liking my work, favoriting, sharing, commissioning, subbing to the patreon or just being a friendly face and a friend. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much <3
