Update
Added 2024-11-27 02:54:52 +0000 UTCThis is difficult to express, but I need to be honest. It's been years of inconsistency in my posting and commissions, and I feel like I need to address it. There was a time when I was happy, drawing freely and sharing my work, brimming with ideas. But around 2019-2020, everything changed. I stopped creating for myself and began relying on you all to suggest what I should post, like during the BOWL events. These changes were a result of my struggle with depression at work and an abusive relationship. Eventually, I was diagnosed with severe depression and PTSD. It became harder to stay productive, so I distracted myself by taking on another job.
By 2020, I left that relationship, and things here began to improve slowly. However, I entered a new relationship in 2022, which has since ended in heartbreak just this week.
I dont know how to handle this, and honestly, I feel lost. To make matters worse, our country has been hit by four storms this November alone. I want to be okay, I really do, but it's incredibly hard right now. I apologize for the delays and stress I may have caused. Please know that I'm actively fighting through this, and if you are a religious person, I would deeply appreciate your prayers, as I feel stuck in this chapter of my life.
I recently quit my job, and though it feels embarrassing to admit, I need to secure 3-6 more commissions this month to cover my bills. I know it may seem ridiculous to ask, but keeping myself busy with these projects may help distract me, bring in some money, and ease the overthinking. I just need to get through this moment. The pain will eventually subside.
I know I have other work to finish, but right now, I also need financial help so I can focus on my responsibilities here without worrying about bills.
Thank you so much for your support. I’m truly sorry for everything not being okay, but I am fighting to overcome this difficult time.

2024-12-14 12:26:14 +0000 UTCIt’s been hard for a lot of us it seems, I hate to hear you’re in that group too. I’ve been a long time fan and am a serious fan of your knowledge of anatomy. I aspire to be just like you! I’m gonna save up to request a commission!! We love you and I at least will keep contributing what little I can to support your talent! Hang in there, love.

2024-11-27 21:10:36 +0000 UTCHey ❤ I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you. Sadly I know how this feels ... just know we are here for you and will keep supporting you no matter what. If there's any spot left, I'd like to commission you! I'll pray for your well-being and for your mind, heart, and soul to find peace. Please don't apologise for taking care of yourself. What matters the most to us isn't seeing you produce more and more art but seeing you thrive and be happy. I hope that everything will work itself out for you from the bottom of my heart. Sending you lots of love, and many more prayers ❤

2024-11-27 17:53:38 +0000 UTCAnd all honesty after reading your post I became a Patreon just to send you this message. I’ve been a supporter of you for so long on various platforms. I just wanted to reach out to you through here to let you know that I speak from experience on abusive relationship relationships, and just finding myself in a dark space. What helped me was prayers and every day I put my hand over my heart and felt it beating under my palm. I took a breath and felt my lungs take in air. I put my head on a pillow and felt the softness of its touch under my head. You survived an abusive relationship and I am so sorry about your last one. But know that the sun will rise tomorrow your fans and the support system that you’ve built will always be here to help you. To cheer for you to lift your spirits. Today will not be tomorrow. You will find someone who will love you unconditionally support you through your struggles be the shoulder to lean and cry on to be the hand that you can reach out and grab. You are not alone, dear friend, and although I don’t know you personally, but I see your passion in your work. The details that go into every stroke of your pencil your ideas, the happiness that your characters and of course, my hero academia characters show in every piece of artwork shows your passion, and what you do. Shoulders back, chest out head held up high, you are a strong, confident, smart, outstandingly talent individual. Do not let what the world throws at you bring you down to your knees. You are too strong and yes, I will always keep you in my prayers. You have the support and love of everyone around you.

2024-11-27 07:52:28 +0000 UTCHey Krumbs, I am so sorry you’re going through a difficult time. I’ve been there where you are and it’s really hard to sometimes just find the strength to keep going, but you can! You have amazing artwork and are hugely talented! You did a piece for me last year that was amazing and if you aren’t inundated with requests I’d also happily commission you again! Feel better, positive vibes your way!

2024-11-27 04:04:09 +0000 UTCHello. I've been following you since the beginning! It's okay to not be okay. You have several layers of trauma happening in your world Right Now! Art can just be a way to make ends meet. And you're talented. But I also hope you can fall in love with it again one day. Because it can be such a liberating outlet. I know you're very shy but coming out to the community about your trauma is so tough yet so powerful for various people in your audience - some with similar trauma they're dealing with. Don't be afraid to reach out and vent to people. Or find communities where you feel comfortable. Because an important part of self care is letting other people care for you. I pray that you're able to process this and transition to your next stage in life.

2024-11-27 03:58:59 +0000 UTCJust an idea, but I'd love to give a small donation somehow in exchange for a rough sketch of whatever you want. I think it's important to do/draw the things you love again, rather than doing what everybody else wants. I'm sure everyone's ideas are fun and creative, but you deserve to express the things you like too. Especially when you're going through a rough time, you should do the things that inspire you to prevent being clouded by the stress. People love your work because it's YOURS and it came from your passions. Again, just an idea to consider promoting. Do whatever you think is best for your health. I'm positive you'll get through this and hope things get better soon. Lots of love ❤️

2024-11-27 03:20:16 +0000 UTCMy Dear, I have been following you for years at this point, and your art is like a dear friend, every time you post it is like picking things up where they left off. I've never been bothered by the time between posts. You have a life, and like any of us, you are entitled to the time you need to get things done for yourself. I hope you and your loved ones are safe in the face of these storms, and will send my intentions your way for strength and resilience. <3

2024-11-27 03:12:12 +0000 UTCIm so sorry you've had to go through all of this. You don't have to apologize for things not being ok, it's not your fault. Life is just (for a lack of a better word) very shitty sometimes, it happens. But this will pass. And from the bottom of my heart I wish you the best of the best, I hope you can be happy and stress free again, and create art for yourself again as well🙏❤

2024-11-27 03:09:20 +0000 UTCThere is no need ever to apologize for not being okay. Take the time and focus in what you need to take care of in your life. I may be a stranger on the internet, but please do believe us when we say we will be okay if it takes time for you to make posts or speak to us. We will be fine. We want to see you thrive and flourish personally and publicly. Take the time, take care, and we will most certainly keep you in our prayers.
