For those waiting on art, I decided as much as I hate deadlines, it's best if I set some and stop letting issues interfere with my passion. 7th-10th I will be sketching/inking any pieces in need of finishing. The following week 11th-16th I will be coloring any previously stated commissions in need of color as well as the rest.

Apologies for the wait there's big changes in my life coming and slowing down on art wasn't one of my plans. For those who would like to know what has been going on. . .

I am moving, not how I planned it out but I am nevertheless. I'm leaving CA and moving to WA. My original goal was to save up, steadily, with a job but I couldn't find anyone here who'd give me the chance without having previous experience. The job market in WA (or at least where I plan to move) seems to be an easier place to enter and work my way up. I'm excited and nervous to follow through but it's time to live somewhere more stable.

I would like to thank all commissioners who have taken the time to contact me for work as well as anyone who may plan to in the future. As small as a list of 10 or so commissions may seem huge to some, I got worrisome once it passed 5, traditional work takes a bit longer to complete but I enjoy every meticulous second.

I would like to also inform anyone reading this that this is my only source of income and I'd appreciate any business this may generate because as hard is it is for me to ask for help, I am not asking for donations. I like to work for my money because there's nothing more sad than a whiny artist who straight up asks for money, it's no ones responsibility to take care of myself other than my own.

In terms of help, commissions are obviously something that would help and if you ask any past commisionee of mine, tips are always thoroughly appreciated. That is it in terms of financial help, anything else such as recommending me to anyone you may think like my art and things of that nature is very much appreciated as well.

It's hard for me to sit here and ask for anything from anyone because I've been taught that I should be suffering in silence for not being prepared for what has perspired lately. I have a few past journals explaining the previous situation but all in all, things didn't go the way I planned. If you stayed with me this long I thank you for your time and patience and look forward to peaking your interest in the future.
