I've changed my payment plan / hold terms for adoptables as my stuff's been raising in price! n_n

Here's the official terms, I also have them in my adopt/sale folder for future reference.

~~~

Holds can last for 36 hours total, payment must be given in full by the end of the hold period (no payment plans).

Payment plans
Under $400 ~ 2 week maximum
      First payment must be $100 or more. Remaining amount must be paid within 14 days.
Over $400 ~ 4 week maximum
       I prefer weekly payments of $100 or more for any price over $400.
Over $1000 ~ $300 per week minimum
       Weekly payments of $300 or more until full amount is paid out.

If you can't follow through on payment, please let me know as soon as possible! I'll refund you the original payment minus a 30% cancellation fee.

Heyo every pony I'll be at Furlandia this weekend for a short time, I'm vending in the artist alley on Saturday so feel welcome to drop by and say hello n.n won't be bringing any furusits this time around but always looking forward to seeing my fellow furries! 💕

I'll also be doing artfight this year, planning another mass attack or two. username there is same as here, still have to update characters

My commission queue is very open rn, when I'm back home I'll be working on my few commissions & finishing my Movie Monster Cousin Concepts at a nice steady pace, so if ur waiting on one of those don't worry I haven't forgotten ya!

Been thinking a lot about my art recently and I'm having a difficult time finding things fulfilling in the way I'm currently doing them, primarily for work. Not that art for a living is burning me out, I love it! But I'm just gonna be changing things up to make it easier on myself to continue doing it substantially.

In terms of adoptables, I'm making the difficult decision to move away from smaller, simpler designs to more thought-out & polished ones. These will be sold at prices at and over $100. The economy is in the dumpster right now, and I've hesitated raising my prices for it. It becomes a "give people fun ocs vs give myself food, rent, and medication without concern". My life has become substantially harder to rein due to it -  I find myself resorting to quick, cheap art/designs/commissions to support myself. It's been keeping me afloat thus far, but at the cost of so much of my time, energy, and mental health (guilt over not being fast enough, keeping tabs on so many separate projects, feeling like the results aren't on par with how I wish my art/designs ended up). Monetary concerns aside, I've also found that a side-effect of this is that I'm longing to push my art further.

I want to spend hours on my pieces, I want to write more stories and graphic novels, I want to go outside and vend at conventions and visit my loved ones and live my life, but I simply can't do that if I'm spending all my time frantically working on lots of adopts and simple art pieces. I adore doing smaller pieces for the sake of community, and I'm certain I'll continue sketches on occasion, primarily on stream and for midnight doodle service. The thing is if I do that I'm going to have to raise my prices to compensate. That's where the difficult decision comes in, but at this point I've decided I want to go for it. Who knows if I'll turn tail and go right back to fast cheap art & adopts but I know I'd regret it if I don't at least try.

Overall I want to move towards this for the sake of the things I want to devote my life to. I want to see what I'm truly capable of if I give myself the time I wish I had to hone my craft. I've been drawing every single fucking day for literally 24 years. I don't want the fear of money stunt me in my deepest passions. I wanna do my very best!!! So I will try to!!! Thank u for reading <3

(i'll send crops later in the week im busy!!! lmao)

I'm so touched by the love of these big guys, when I started the Movie Monster's Cousins it was just a little gimmick, but it's grown into a big happy family and I'm so elated by it!!!! Thank you all for enjoying my big freaky deeky guys!!!

I'll be hosting my very first panel this coming weekend at Anthro Northwest in Seattle! It's on Friday January 2nd from 12:30 to 2:30. Come on by! I planned lots of fun stuff!

I'll be starting off with an icebreaker game of Toyhouse Bingo where I'll be browsing through Toyhouse with randomized tags and everyone else will have a bingo sheet with all sorts of silly Toyhousey things on them. Things like "Lorum Ipsum", "A Purge Listing", "A warning page so long that you have to scroll down to see the whole thing", etc! There will be prizes for the winners ᵔ ᴥ ᵔ

Afterwards things will split up into freeform activities. I'll have a drawing area, a space to chat and infodump and meet people, and a roleplay corner where you can group up with a few friends and follow a choose-your-own-adventure prompt I wrote. Lots of room for flip flopping between all activities and coming to say hi to me if you'd like!

Hope to see some of u there! I'll be at the con all weekend too so if you spot me say hello! I'll be bringing Manny and possibly a new fursuit... I think you'd recognize him if you spot him walkin around >:3c
