And done! I'm off to go be a fancy fairy lad now, byeeeee

Streaming! Finishing up Maffsie's Copic commission. No voice this time, I have way too many fans blowing to be auditorily tolerable, ha ha

Finished! Thanks very much for hanging out. I'm gonna go sit on an ice cube now; it is HOT

I dropped the ball and completely forgot I had a stream planned tonight, so sorry about that! I will do a makeup Potion Craft stream next week, details TBA on Monday

How do I phrase this... shit is messed up, I'm scared and stressed, and I bet everyone else is too. So I'm doing the one thing I can do best right now; let's hang out for an hour and just be together, while I draw stuff and plan my July schedule.

Love you, fuzzballs <3

Sorry I can't stream longer, but thanks for joining for the short bit. Love you all very much, truly; you give me strength in my darkest hours, and light up the good ones 10x as much

Streaming~ I went to an artist workshop last week and made a painting! I'll tell about that, and show off what I made. Afterwards, just working on personal art. Maybe SFW, maybe NSFW, idk!

An unfortunate but important update. Effective July 15th, Artconomy is required to change their content policy due to legal changes in Texas. Please read the short blog post to understand what is effected - https://artconomy.com/blog/updates-to-our-content-policies-as-a-result-of-recent-legal-changes/

I'm definitely frustrated by the matter, but it's out of my hands. Rest assured I'm not going to just quit drawing anything, but the process to take commissions involving the effected topics will have to change. Bleh! Bleh, I say!!

Now streaming! Starting off with some additional rendering on that monster piece, then studying a tutorial I've had saved for ages to maybe learn some new techniques. And watching SGDQ all the while!

I made a little zine! And you can buy it if you want. Check out the listing for photos and order information here - https://ko-fi.com/s/e8769a40cd

Back in February, I participated in Hourly Comic Day for the first time in years, and have printed the panels into a set of three zine booklets you can hold in your hands! The comic shows one highlight per hour of the day I was awake, printed in "stunning" black and white inks on grid based journal paper, and hand-folded without staples while I watch Youtube videos. Each booklet is about 3 by 4.5 inches, and shipping is available to anywhere.

I'm excited to be offering these, and I look forward to getting more stuff put into my Ko-Fi shop soon! I hope y'all like them as much as I enjoyed making them ^^

*banana for scale

I'm feeling very unwell mood-wise today, and it's also distressingly hot in the room I stream from, so I'm making the decision to postpone the Potion Craft stream. I'm sorry for the pattern I'm setting; I'm going to reevaluate how I plan my streams and avoid doing evening/night ones for a bit, so I can better stick to my schedule. Thank you for understanding, and I hope you all have a good rest of your day. I'm going to go melt in a corner and destress a while 🧊

After a rough couple of weeks, things are picking up again for me. I wrote a little update about my workload and life stuff if you'd like some finer details, but the gist is that I hit some emotional burn out so hard that I got ill, so to speak, and am catching up on things now that I'm feeling better. I'm behind my proposed deadlines, but I'm doing my best to work hard and get stuff done (while also taking care of myself so it doesn't happen again ^^;)

It's time to make time to stream, IRL complications be damned! Only going for an hour or two, drawing stuff for fun to lift my spirits. I'll be workshopping a new OC and chilling.

Finished streaming! See you all sooner than later for another one <3

Streaming again, already??

Today I'm working on some overdue rough sketch commissions, featuring a variety of kinks! I've got my tea, I've got my tunes, and I'm ready to draw~
