I'm open for 5 slots for PWYW headshot pencils sketches at $10 minimum! Good for a last minute gift before Christmas, for yourself or someone else.

I'm trying out taking orders via Ko-Fi for the first time, so pardon if the process is bumpy at any point. Thanks very much!

Slots are full! Thanks very much for the orders, everybody ❤️

I'm opening for 4 more headshot sketches! Same deal as before, and delivery will be by January 5th.

Y'all are fast! Slots are filled for the headshots, stay tuned for the Google form for the last round of photo style commissions, coming tomorrow

It's the last schedule of the year! I meant to post this on Monday, but the holidays were simply too hectic and I completely forgot in the chaos of travel. This week I'm simply working on my existing queue, but on Saturday, I'd like to do one last little party before I go offline again for a few days for New Years. The stream will be over on Picarto, if you're free and feel inclined, come on by and say hello!

As I mentioned in my journal post, I'm taking on final round of slice-of-life commissions, with a deadline for the end of January. After that, I'm unsure what my commission intake will be like, but it's likely I won't take any commissions for a few months, at least. If you're wanting this style of commission, this is your last chance for a while! The form will remain open until Tuesday, Jan. 2nd, and slots are not first-come, first-served, so don't feel rushed~

It's time! The last stream of 2023 is live now, going for around 3 hours. I'll be voice chatting while I do various things like a donut kit, maybe some nanoblocks, and some artbook flip-throughs. Just looking to spend time with you all once more before 2024; love you, ya furries <3

Thanks for a lovely evening, and sorry for Picarto being such a butt about loading! Seems there were some issues with the server, bleh. But there are always more streams, more horniness, and more love, all on the horizon. Thank you for hanging out today, and I'll see you in the new year!

Happy new year!! The holiday rush is finally over, and I can get back to some predictability at last. Right now, I'm focusing on finishing the outstanding Slice of Life commissions, as well as intaking forms for the very last round of commissions I'll be doing for a while. I decided to extend the deadline to this Saturday, the 6th, as I felt that the window was a bit too short during such a hectic time period. The deadline for these will be mid-February. I'm also doing a Pomf stream this Friday to work on some commission stuff.

Slice of Life/Photo Commission Queue:
Bencoon - Inks and color
Drakitten - Final rendering
Lachlan - Refine sketch
Nukikoon - Color
Vollukk - Initial sketch WIP
SilverFox - Initial sketch WIP
Sako Koi - Inks and color
Niara - Refine sketch

My apologies for the bit of silence, I've been doing a lot of things offline to get ready for joining traditional employment again (mainly applications and resume building and interviews, all that jazz). I'm still processing the forms from my final round of commissions, and still working on the active slots from before as well. I should be back on track by the end of this week, but I need a bit more hermit-mode focus time, so answering comments and messages will be difficult for a bit longer. I'm not actually sure when I'll be able to construct a schedule for streams and fun things next, so it may be best to consider those on hiatus until I see what's in store for my employment-wise. Thank you for your patience.

Unrelated side note, but AGDQ started this week. It's always a fun watch if you're looking for some good entertainment, and as usual they're collecting donations for the Prevent Cancer Foundation, so if you've got some extra holiday fun money, why not throw them a few dollars?

A new journal is up, with info about commission status and the start of my refunding process!

A rare stream! It'll be a short one, but I'd love to hang out with you all and work on art and chat a bit. I'll be using mic, so audio on for this one!

Finished! It felt great to get to connect and draw for you all again. Next stream will be on Monday, but hopefully I can swing another one even sooner!

Bit of a change; I've left that new job as of one month ago, and am back to doing art. I'm searching for something that's a better fit (and less problematic) in the meantime. So yeah... a bummer, but it'll be nice to be more present again!

If you want to read my very rant-fueled journal about why I left, it's up on FA, IB, Wzl and SF as per usual.

I'm riding a whim and starting up a stream. Working on some owed Telegram stickers for Bencoon. Art will be tame but conversation may be adult, as usual.

Finished streaming. Thanks very much for coming, it really lifted my mood a lot ❤️

So now that my job situation has changed, you know what time it is - end of month rent funding time 😎😂🙃

I'm offering slots over on Artconomy for the first time, for black and white traditional media pinups. You can check the listing out here!
https://artconomy.com/profile/Malachyte/products/

I'm new to using Artconomy, but so far I really like it! A few intro notes:

-Similar to Commissio, which I was using before
-Uses Stripe payment processor, same as sites like SubStar, Patreon, etc.
-Uses escrow payment method for security (you pay, site holds the money until art is completed)

I'm doing these during my days off, so they won't interfere with my current queue and schedule.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Told ya I'd stream again today. Still working through those owed Telegram stickers while I chill to some music. Art will be tame, but conversation may not be.
