Everyone left in here is up for offers! Money offers will be considered the most, but you can combine your offer with art as well!

Mostly looking for quality over quantity so don't feel like you have to offer tons of pieces n__n

Nothin personal if I ignore your offer!!! :^0

Some things have been on my mind for a while and this feels like the best place to say it, twitter and instagram are too short and snappy and I want to put some more time into this!

Something a lot of people have said to me when they meet me or first start to work with me / open up to me is "I've been following you since i was x years old" or "I've followed you since such-and-such year or such-and-such comic/platform/characters" etc etc etc, and while some days it can make me wince (who even was I before I made Kelda honestly!!!!), it also makes me feel so overwhelmingly touched. It's easy, ESPECIALLY lately, to get down on myself for having a mostly stagnant following on most socials that seems to hover around the same exact number, easy for me to get sucked into how many likes things got years ago before algorithms changed and before I had to ask myself "is the algorithm actually affecting me, or is my art just getting worse? is my art just less interesting now?". But knowing that so many of you have been around for so long makes me feel like even though I don't know exactly what's going on or where I'm going that it's not as treacherous as I fear! How we all must've grown in the past several years, I hope your journeys have been kind on you!

Not to alienate anyone newer of course, I feel like I've met and spoken to so many new and sweet people after branching out into the furry fandom. I've always been a little shy by nature but I enjoy talking to new people and seeing new characters, art styles, all of it!!!! I've gone through a lot in the past year as has everyone, including moving out with making art full-time (eek!!!) and it's been a lot to get used to, but I'm trying to be as optimistic as possible. Starting way back in early 2020 with quarantine, I've lost a lot of practice with making comics and illustrating for fun and something to do. I often find myself emotional after going through old art even from as early as April 2020 because I feel like I lost so much without realizing it.

The struggle of having to sacrifice time to make art and work hard at a job or school was something I more or less solved many years ago, but as time goes on I get lost in the most monotonous stuff. I'm doing all I can to foster a positive relationship with illustrating and comic-making (writing out some of the plots has been so much fun, when things click it's so exciting) but when I look at my art desk or a piece of cardboard I want to make paintings on something in me almost locks up. It's something I'm trying to figure out and soothe in the meantime.

Something else I need to thank you all for is your tremendous understanding and patience with me. While I think patience is a basic important thing to have, I'm still blown away with how often people tell me not to rush, to take breaks, to not stress myself out with their work or finishing things quickly. It gets to the point where I wonder "am I coming across like I'm a workaholic? Oh god, can people tell I'm gonna burn myself out????" (I mean I'd laugh here but I DONT KNOW KHFDJG) As I'm living on my own I'm doing as best as I can to figure out my schedule along with new things like going to the grocery store, tidying AND cleaning an entire place by myself, making sure I have social time with people, making sure I pay off everything on time, etc etc etc. Slowly things are falling into place, and I hope that I can get a little more time in there to draw instead of just sitting in my chair doing Basically Nothing for several hours... yeowch! While I'm grateful for all the patience and well-wishes I hope you can all understand too that oftentimes I cannot afford to take as long on my work as I do. I'm quite nervous to raise my prices even more but I'm doing my best to look for the right balance. If you see me taking on a lot of work or self-advertising it's because I don't have much of a choice!!! I'm certain most everyone here can understand that T__T I'll get there!!!!!

I'm quite sentimental lately so I hope you can soak up this big ol thank you to all of you!!! So much has changed over the past several years for me and I can't believe how many of you are still here. It means so much to me. Thanks for sticking through my gnarly Teenage Years x__x never goin back!!! Weehoo!!!! I hope I can continue to carry some of the torches I set off when I was younger, I want to return to some of my older art and breathe some new passion into it and try again. Comics in particular, now that I live alone I think it's a good time for me to try. I know my comics have meant something to a lot of you and I'd hate to deprive you of my new stories. 1 they're better and 2 i wanna make em so bad!!!!!! Sorry for mentioning Patreon but also whatever man what the heck man!!! If you've ever pledged to me or done the kofi thing for my comics thank you with all my heart. It means everything that my work is worth it to you. It's buying me a little more time bit by bit, it's not much so far in terms of numbers but the encouragement it gives is immeasurable!!!

Thank you all so much for everything, even if you've never uttered a word to me <3 I know you're out there and knowing you're around is an honor. Thank you.

🌟I spent the past few months archiving and organizing characters from 16 of my stories, some you know and others you've never seen before!

✨✨✨ Keldas-Cove ✨✨✨ (all folders are public, feel free to click and browse around - the first two folders and their characters are visible to all!)

Each page has hidden characters accessible to authorized users - you can get permanently authorized through joining my 🧡Patreon or through a one-time donation of $15 to my ☕Ko-Fi. These tips will help be buy time to continue working on my stories. Any support means the world to me!

The page won't be static history - it'll continue to be updated as I continue my archiving & I make new stories! :^}

My comics are my passion projects, my biggest dream to keep as many as possible free-to-read. Any donations help make this possible, and it makes my whole day! Thank you so much!
