Pride chibi flash commissions! + Sad life update

Hi everyone! While I work on getting everything set up, I'm facing some really serious financial hardships! If you want to read the whole story, it's gonna be listed below; but for now this means I'm opening up a ko-fi account for tips AND super easy n quick turnaround commissions :)

For this month, I'll be offering Pride chibis like the one you can see above! They can be yours for a donation of 40 dollars or more. I plan on having more flash sales like this on Ko-fi!
Let me know if this seems like a fun option for y'all to have :)

Life update

Last time I poured my feelings out on a Patreon post, I was sharing how I had decided to move towards a nursing career for my main job. I'm happy to say that that path is proceeding very smoothly and while it's taking a lot out of me, I'm proud of what I've been able to accomplish as a very rusty student! :)
There's still a long road ahead of me, but for this aspect of my life I feel hopeful and excited!

However, between now and then, I broke up with my live-in partner. We had been married for 7 years, and the breakup was unexpected and really painful for the both of us. It's taking a lot of effort and work for the both of us to navigate this mess, but we're slowly getting to a place where we hope we can keep a bit of a friendship.

However, as you may remember we had JUST moved in a new place at the start of the year, and on top of the expensive move we had to enter a messy legal situation with some transphobic neighbors. Our savings are all empty and we can't afford to live separately, so we're sharing our apartment. But we're both working hard to move out and give each other some space.

It doesn't help that during these whole mess, my PC screen and tablet stopped working. Because when it rains, it pours!! I was able to recreate another setup with a cheap touch tablet and an upcycled monitor, but it feels like drawing with my left hand! It's taking a long time to get used to this new setup, but I'm determined to keep drawing until it feels normal again!!

I'm very lucky to say I have landed a summer gig which should be able to cover a portion of the rent, but I'd like to try to earn a bit of money through art again. Unfortunately, Im still in way too much of a rusty state with this new tablet to confidently get back on my commission queue, so I decided to open for quick and easy Pride chibis so I can practice while I surround myself with some queer joy <3

Cause in the end it's still Pride, and no matter how much it might seem like our life are a badly written soap opera (mine certainly does) in the end we're still alive and in a moments like these... that alone is worth celebrating.

I love you all and I'm so SO grateful for your incredible support throughout these months!! I hope this can be the start to a path towards recovery <3
