Hello everyone, I hope April has treated you all well. I wanted to announce a couple things today regarding my artwork and my health.

This is going to sound sudden to anyone I'm not in close contact with, but tomorrow I'm scheduled to have surgery. I'm not really comfortable talking about what it's for, but it's something that I've needed for awhile now. For the past two months, I've been dealing with a constant on and off pain that has affected the way I live and work. It's been incredibly hard to work stress free at my job (and art commissions), and I can't even relax at the end of each day, so socializing and being active online has been damn near impossible for me lately. I had honestly planned on getting more artwork finished during my break, but unfortunately I've only been able to finish up two projects because of what I've been going through. Hopefully tomorrow's procedure will help me get back to normal. I'm nervous honestly, but I know it's for the best.

As for commissions, they're open now. I need to save up money for my medical costs, so I'm taking orders that I'll work on during the latter half of recovery and after. Please keep in mind that the orders I'll take are limited, so if you message me and ask, I may or may not be available. It's first come first serve, but if you'd like me to save a spot for you I can. All I ask is for your patience since I'll be in recovery.

Here's to hoping that my procedure tomorrow will help me. Thanks for those of you who take the time to read this and understand.

And a big thanks to my friends, clients, and watchers during this time for all of the support and feedback on my recent drawings. It's lifted my spirits and really helped me throughout the rough times I've been going through.

If you're interested in supporting me in other ways, here's my link tree with my other socials, Patreon, and merchandise:

Hello everyone!! It's that time again.

I'm looking for an artist/artists to commission for my OC's ! I'm looking to get more art done of my girls Clover and Mira (mainly Clover)

What I'm specifically looking for :

1. Full body or half body

2. OC x canon

3. SFW or NSFW

4. Pixel Art

5. Animated Icons

I absolutely love seeing my characters in different art styles, so I'm not too picky! But, if you can emulate Akira Toriyama's art style (DB/DBZ/Dragon quest), I'm even more interested!

Please feel free to advertise your commission info and sheets in the comments!!

I might not get back to everyone, but I'll reply or message you if I'm interested

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a good start to your week, I know Mondays suck, but not all of them can be bad! I wanted to update you all on a decision that I've had to make on my traditional commissions.

Unfortunately, traditional commissions are no longer an option for the time being. Lately my scanner has been acting up. It's hard to scan my drawings without them coming out blurry or faded. I've tried several different scanner programs and adjusted the settings on two of my devices but nothing has worked. Heck I've even cleaning it out to no luck. It's also gotten incredibly loud every time I attempt to scan anything which is annoying. I honestly think that time has caught up to it and the only thing I can do is buy an upgrade. It's a cheap scanner/printer that I've had for 3 or so years and have used it almost daily so, it makes sense that it's finally wearing down . It's not an 'urgent' need, since I can still scan in my sketches for digital work, but we still need a new one regardless, so my partner and I have been on the look out for a nice one for a decent price.

And honestly, this is probably one of those things that happen for a reason. I've been slowly getting burnt out on working on traditional pieces, mainly due to my limit on colors. There's a lot more that I can do with digital pieces than traditional other than having an entire color wheel as well. I've been wanting to improve more and expand my portfolio with digital drawings. I like having a bigger canvas with more tools and colors ya know? But that doesn't mean I want to stop traditional drawings for good. I'd still like to offer traditional commissions in the future as more of a 'budget' option, but I need to get through the burn out before I do, and get a new scanner of course.

I'll make an update post in the future once everything is sorted out, but it'll probably be a couple months before I even consider opening them back up again. For now, my Digital commissions are still open if you're interested . My schedule is a bit packed though this week, so if you're interested now hit me up in a week from now and I'll let you know if I'm available

Take care everyone, stay safe out there!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to make a quick update journal on a somewhat 'small' change about my Yugioh OC. I've decided to change her name to 'Mira Cordelia'. I've been thinking about it for awhile now and I wanted to come up with something more fitting for her, as well as changing her name to something less 'personal' if that makes sense. Both her new first and last name are references to the ocean and sea. Everything else about her is staying the same (design, personality, etc.). I originally wanted her to be a persona with different universe counterparts, but I've fleshed her out into her own character so much that I've basically detached myself from her in a way, so she's more of an OC if that makes sense <3. She's still a part of me of course and my main OC, so you'll still be seeing more of her in the future . I'll be updating all of her artworks to depict her new name

Here's her updated character sheet if you wanted to have a look!:

Thank you for taking the time to read this announcement!
