FreeFallingUp13's Bulletins
Hey just so ya'll know
I am hosting a purge for my characters here on TH. They're available for USD, Points, Art, Character trades. All quality accepted, I'm not picky.
I've added a few more since my last bulletin, please check 'em out <3 I'd love to see 'em get more love

I have a lot of characters for sale/trade rn
- Tags will say what I got them for, if it's just a number, that's USD (ex; "Obtained for 5 pts" is 5 dA points but "Obtained for 5" is $5).
- "Received Free" tagged characters are free.
- Anything that doesn't have a price, feel free to offer art, all skill levels welcome.
I've had a lot of these characters a long time, and I want to see if they will be more appreciated by somebody else. I don't have the time to draw or headcanon so much anymore, save for a few characters, so I think the characters are better off with others who have the time <3

I have a lot of adopts that I've been posting on dA lately, mostly TLK. Should I try uploading them here in an adopts folder? They're all only for points so
I have a lot of characters I'm not particularly attached to, and think would do better in other homes.
Each of these should have a tag that says how much I paid for it, whether I traded for it, or whether it's free. If there isn't a tag, feel free to offer art!

Ayo so I have a lot of characters that have designs I'm attached to, but I know I'm not going to use. I'm making the decision to sell 'em.
You can offer art or points, I will let you know if a character was bought using Paypal (which, to be quite honest, is going to be rare because I got most of these designs during my time that I hated spending money on anything).
Any character with the Received Free tag is a giveaway character.
Here's the folder!

SO
currently I'm in another country because I'm trying to immigrate to my boyfriend's country to live with him. I'm going to be here for a while, and since I don't have a work visa, I can't get a job here. So, I opened commissions, since I don't have anything else on my plate right now;
Hello, it is me, the person that keeps disappearing for months at a time even though I owe art-
Long story short, my fiance noticed how stressed I was with trying to fulfill owed art requests and heavily recommended I take a step back. He was right to do so - I was trying to stubbornly force myself to do something to the point where I wasn't happy with any result I drew. I couldn't even draw eyes. I love drawing eyes. Drawing wasn't fun anymore, it was just a point of stress during a time when I was supposed to be relaxing. I certainly wasn't producing anything that I felt even remotely okay with handing over to other people as a finished product. So, everything was put on hold.
When I came back to the United States, I had immediately had to finish moving. I was entirely frazzled from jet lag and stress to the point where I had to make a second trip two weeks later to get things I had left behind. It's been a month and a half and I'm still having sleeping issues, though I'm now able to stay awake most of the day. Most of my time is spent helping around the house. Besides all of that, I've been neck-deep in a job search that finally ends next month when I start my job, and I've taken on an online IT class.
I have been starting to draw again, though I'm still uncomfortable with faces. I have to ease back into drawing to be able to make anything I'm proud of. In the meantime, I've been writing more often, and will be posting some of the things I write. Drawing has taken a bit of a backseat, as I can only focus on so many skills at a time, and would honestly prefer to work on writing.
I'll be doing my best to get back up to a level where I can draw the fullbody and halfbodie(s) I owe. It's just going to take an indeterminate amount of time, and I understand that it's disappointing and frustrating to hear this again. But I'm not in a very good mental state most of the time. When I am, I ultimately have to devote my time to things that matter to my life and well-being instead of things I offered for free.
I apologize for being wishy-washy about all this owed art, but I have to come clean in that I'm in no state to do it, and that soon I won't have the time to dedicate to it. Before, I had no job and no obligations. This time around, I do. I'm sorry. I'll get it done as soon as I can.
Hello all! I just wanted to let you all know that I am going to be going on vacation soon!
Beginning October 17th, I am going to be travelling to the Netherlands. I will not be back in the US until (for sure) December 12th.
I have a YCH open here for small doodles to do whilst at the airport and on the plane on my way there. I will be accepting commissions from this YCH until the 17th my time (there is a countdown timer). Get one while you still can!
Dolly YCH! [Limited Time/ Open]
Besides this YCH,
I will be mostly inactive on Deviantart and Toyhouse. Owed art will be finished to the best of my ability within the next two weeks. I will not be checking my commissions regularly.
I am still accepting commissions, but be prepared for the possibility that I may not respond until December.
Between scrambling to prepare for my move, preparing for my vacation, and trying (and failing) to acclimate my cat to a new house, I have been at high stress and unable to do art that I am happy with unless it is very small.
That being said, I expect spending time in a new place away from all these stresses will help me get in the proper mindset to be able to finish the art I owe. There are sketches in place, I just need to color and ink them. They'll just be a little late. Hope that's alright.
(For anybody curious about kitty, she's fine. Two weeks just wasn't enough time to help her get used to a house with a big dog, so she's staying where she's always lived for now. I'll be acclimating her properly to the new house when I move in December.)
I don't know what happened, but I've slumped into a really bad depressive episode. I can't draw anything without being upset that it doesn't look right, among several other issues that are unrelated. But this specific part means that I can't focus on working on requests. Inktober was what got me to notice the trend; I was drawing one of my characters and increasingly frustrated that nothing looked right. I drew and redrew seventeen times, then tried to work on requests and ended up redrawing that several times as well. It's just not working - it's an exercise in frustration that's messing with my head.
SO! Until I'm out of this depressive episode, I'm going to be working on personal art. I am still doing requests and Inktober, but right now, I cannot deliver pieces I am fully happy with when it comes to other people. That's not something I can personally accept. It's honestly safer for me in whole if I stay away from those pieces for now. They will get done, but I'm just sticking to simpler, no-stress pieces for now.
Thank you all for reading, and I hope you all understand! I'll get back onto the wagon as soon as I can, but, for now, I'll be designing candy costumes. If you have a candy + accessory suggestion, go ahead and comment below. Continuing to practice will really help me out.
Hello! I have plopped into the community in small bursts to get back into art and start doing commissions.
Recently, I opened up requests so I can get commission examples. I'd like to thank everybody for giving the thread so much attention! I know most people prefer digital, so any attention at all given to my traditional thread is super-cool.
I do have to note, though, that as I'm picking up the pace in getting ready for my move, I'm going to be a little slow on fulfilling requests. Easier requests will likely be done first, as I only have late at night to really get into drawing, and quite often I'm out of energy. Moving is hard work in general, and right now for me, it's a one-person job! Between packing and listing stuff for sale, I'm exhausted at the end of the day.
I'm doing my best to fulfill requests, and I will note that I'm pretty much doing everybody's. Y'all got such cute characters, man, and I really want to draw 'em all! This is more art than I've set myself up for for a long while (around nine pieces including dA requests and the art game I'm participating in). I'm gonna be honest and say I can't give a concrete estimate on when it'll be done, but it certainly will be done by mid-October, when I go on vacation. Once I finish this move, I should have all the time in the world to finish requests, which means I have to get done moving even sooner! That means art is going to be a lesser priority to packing, 'cause I need to dedicate more time to packing.
With all of that, I hope you guys understand the delay. I'll still be open to accept more requests, but I was just looking at my workload today and had to be upfront about my personal expectations. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
