got the phone call for my results today, wanted to give a little update so i wasnt leaving everything on the note of 'i may have vague evil disease i refuse to elaborate on. bye'
the tl;dr is: i am not seriously ill but im still going to be on a bit of a break bc i have more tests + this has been rough on me lol

my blood test results ended up revealing an imbalance in my body that probably resulted in the symptom i was experiencing, so theres no other real additional explanation for that symptom, which basically just means the issue is benign and not what i was really worried it was going to be lol

it still sucks. but like, the options were between 'really serious illness that you'll have to seek likely years-long treatment for + surgeries + is susceptible to spreading and is often recurring' or 'something that sucks but is ultimately mostly just inconvenient and not terribly painful and can be easily treated with pills if it gets to be too much of an issue' so i cant bring myself to be too distraught about that right now, mostly just relieved lmfao. i still have some procedures to follow up on which are gonna suck but at this point, seeing them through is mostly just because theyre already booked + to be 100% safe.

this is kind of an overshare so i dont mind if anyone skips this part, but the whole experience has been real rough for reasons i wasnt expecting. i wont get too into the Deep Ed Lore but the whole experience getting a thousand invasive tests has made me realise i need some more specific counselling for a particular issue, and its been messing with me a little. i buried my head in the sand about it for a while but i dont think its something i can realistically ignore for much longer, i can't be spending the rest of my life going to basic appointments and acting like the effect they have on me presently is ok to just tolerate, its not healthy for me + just complicates the procedures being done. its a bit rough to come to terms with this and im not looking forward to working through it but ough...i have to be responsible with myself. ive been taking everything really hard and theres 1 more really hard appointment to get through and i cannot just pretend like this is normal LOL

basically im going to continue to be on a little break, at least socially. ive still been working on stuff and making things, but im going to just take it easy for a bit and recover from the experience, especially while i get a handle on how to seek appropriate councelling for the specific problem that was messing with me. the real tl;dr is im a big baby and i need to have a lie down for like 2 consecutive weeks or something

ty to anyone who's been patient or expressed concerns, i'll be ok, just chugging along. as compensation for my yapping here is a picture of horrible ugly repugnant beast armed and dangerous. the weapon is stolen from peg basket outside. no morals at all

yyuugughgh i know i just posted one of these but im silly . im silly

im just gonna take an overall break from socials until may. i get results back then + the final procedure (which i will get the results for  immediately, so no stress of waiting) but the whole thing of waiting is stressful in general, so im not going to force myself to engage when im anxious about other things.

even if i upload stuff myself i'm not going to be responding to anything until may 15th (date of the final appointment, will get my results for that immediately so no waiting), at the earliest, aside from a few commissions i'm looking to send out hopefully within the week after i finish polishing them up.

i'll be fine, please don't ask for the details of whats going on, it's just medical stuff. posting shit like this makes me feel a little more comfortable about  dogging the inbox for a month lol. i did just post an oc offer bulletin  so i'd feel a bit guilty if i just did that then immediately left people  on read without explanation

again i'll probably be fine. we live in hope

next day update: not able to get an appointment for the definitive procedure that'll confirm or deny a diagnosis until may 15th.... OTL

i want to try and make this quick an impersonal, sorry if its vague or confusing. i ask that you do not theorise or try and pry into the details, thank you.

long story short, im going through a bit of a medical thing rn that's kind of a lot. there's an issue i've been experiencing that has a couple of potential explanations, and one of them is a very scary diagnosis to have. i'm going through the process of tests for the scary one, as of right now, and im sure you can imagine it's stressful, both having the idea of that diagnosis over my head but also the tests themselves are very invasive and personally upsetting for me. full disclosure, i am very likely probably Fine. it's just having that on the table and getting all of these procedures done (and honestly the initial symptom itself lol) is fucking w/ me a lot. i'll probably update this when i get all the tests done to confirm it's all good later lol

i'm not like, going to halt drawing or anything - honestly i think it's a very good distraction and i like working on owed art. it's soothing to me, so if you're waiting on something, i'm not gonna like. dip from that for months. ideally everything should be wrapped up in a few weeks and i should find out whether or not its mundane or a 'yyyyikessss sorry' situation but again everythings probably fine. aprils always a rough month for me so having this kick up around the beginning of it is, for the lack of better terminology, auuuuuuuuughhghgg

i think im just asking for patience if im more floaty than usual, and a little update for anyone who i may owe anything. thats all.
i might do some raffles or something after this to make up for how many emo bulletins i've posted recently (if you saw them. no you didnt)

please comment on this bulletin itself if offering! my inbox is an absolute mess and i may miss replies for a while longer, its easier to just check here manually.

sorry to my toyhouse subs who have to watch me reupload this bulletin 400 times a week because i am both a charming and indecisive silly billy

characters for offer in here

long story short i think my design tastes have shifted very abruptly in recent times and i'm trying to be less precious about culling my gallery, hence the constant reposting of these bulletins. as i've grown more fixated and attached to characters from my recent project, i fall a little out of favour with some of the miscellaneous guys i have hanging around here, and i think it's about time to just get over it and be less stingy lol

what im looking for: paypal (cannot do most other alternatives as they aren't available in my countr), trades, art offers, keep the characters names in mind

no: vouchers, anything to do with cs, fictional currencies, 'anyone in my th' offers (unless there's clear indication of who's off limits)

customs are a maybe. just depend on how familiar i am with you as a designer, and the mood you catch me in. if offering art, please let me know your comfort zones and provide examples, sometimes i ask for art of humies and i have few feral ocs nowadays.

i prefer to communicate via toyhouse dms, i can also do twitter if it's really necessary, but i prefer not to give my discord out unless we're at least a little familiar. my replies are often delayed, this month is busy for me and i don't use social media during the day.

edit: closed! sorry it said open for so long, posted this before bed and didn't expect em to both go overnight! ty for any interest, depending on how quick i can crack these ones off i might open more in the near future :]

hiya, going to try and keep this brief: spent some money recently and because of exchange rate it ended up being more expensive than i thought. oops! i'm fine, it was money i had saved for something fun anyway, but i'd like to recoup that a bit. 

opening chibi comms. the style is still a bit experimental, i'm still learning how i want to go about it, so things may differ from image to image, however quality will remain consistent. as per the usual, due to the nature of the art style, complex designs may be simplified. i dont have finished examples, but i can also do humanoids or ferals.

order one here! order link also has more information. examples below

i may open more of these in the future, but this is it for now - thankfully my need to make extra money is a bit less pressing than i'd thought in january. i was told i would be losing my job, only to be abruptly be handed renewed employment papers after 2 weeks of being under the impression i was soon to be unemployed. very fun few weeks. without getting into the nitty gritty though, i still need to be saving while i job hunt for something a bit better than what im doing now, so i'm thinking of trying to open monthly commissions, however effective that may be. so i might do a few test runs! we'll see we'll see

going to delete this soon, save your guys asap!

rapidfire posting this before bed but i rebooted my sheezy since its back online. nuked my old gallery though cause im Shy.

https://sheezy.art/porvau

im really really nervous about posting personal stuff publicly again (very funny bc its all just cutesy critter stuff but. its nerve wracking to me!!!) but i'd like to get into posting art publicly again even if its just smaller stuff. no shot i can complain about wanting a proper gallery site that isnt for more professional portfolios or DeviantArt (...or buzzly, i guess,) and then not use the one i was using before when it pops back up.

if you want to share and post your acc in the comments u shud. and i'll follow yippee

pre-empting this with i wont be reading or replying to comments until friday at the earliest, this weeks a busy one for me so im probably not gonna push myself to reply until all the big stuff is done and out of the way. i'll be fine, its just a bunch of stressful (but necessary and ultimately not overtly terrible or anything, just not fun) appointments all in a row. i figure that probably gives time for any comments to come in anyway.

paypal is preferred this time round for reasons i wont get into, but ultimately im trying not to be too terribly picky. cleaning out my toyhouse is bizarrely satisfying so im trying to run by 'if its gone its gone' lol. that being said paypal over other offers would be a quick accept. i might update this bulletin if i add more characters in the future.

guys for offer are in here

i'll probably be putting out some adopts in the future, just a bunch of redesigned old ocs i stopped using, but for now i want to rehome some of the stuff thats already here.

please comment on the bulletin itself if possible, my inbox has a lot of comments i havent looked at yet so i might miss offers made on actual characters themselves.

been coming into oc ownership a bit on impulse these recent months and want to do a bit of a teensy cleanout.

https://toyhou.se/devilsbathboys/characters/folder:4518317

do not venture outside of that folder please! no one else is for offers. if some of the images arent available, thats a mistake - lmk and i'll fix it asap.

i'll look at most offers honestly. the main things i'm interested in are paypal (i can only do paypal for money payments, as most alternatives aren't available in my country), art and character trade offers. i'm a little more hesitant on customs, it mostly just depends on the mood you catch me in/whether or not im familiar with you as a designer.
if offering art/customs, please let me know your comfort zones - i often like to ask for art of 'weird' anthros or humanoids so it's easier to know where you sit before i send something.

i won't accept anything to do with fictional currencies (DA points, etc), anything in relation to original species (open or closed) or vouchers/gift cards.

i'd prefer ppl to comment on this bulletin over the characters themselves - my inbox is a mess and its easier to check here than sift through everything. responses may be delayed, i've been going through a myriad of personal issues (including health ones) recently. patience is appreciated, ty in advance

i don't run background checks on everyone i do business with. if i have interacted with a dangerous user unknowingly, you are free to privately dm me a warning, i won't mind. please only dm me if it's serious and there is evidence - non-dangerous interpersonal drama is none of my business.
i do not care if someone is a "character hoarder" of any variety, unless the designs are stolen. do not dm me about it.

occasionally, i do comb-throughs of my art tab and recredit art i didn't make myself to my alt, porvau (junkyardjive for much older art.) this is intentional, to keep my art tab of my ocs only. i dont expect other people to credit me there by default, but i ask you dont try to update the credit should you notice it's changed, thank you.

i am often slow to reply - i do not check social media during the day, only get on my PC in the evenings, and toyhouse doesn't quite work properly on my phone. i appreciate patience with my replies, and i'll extend that patience in turn.

if you would like me to update design permissions for a character, dming me is the best way. it's never a bother, i don't mind being asked, though responses may take a bit.

i do not revoke designs, ever, as i find it to be more hassle than its worth, even if something unsavoury is being done with the design. i will only block and refuse to work with someone in the future, but i may remove my design credit if i am deeply uncomfortable with the way in which a character is being used. my blacklist is private, and will remain so permanently.

T.O.S / Info

• generally i'm pretty loose with what people can do with my designs, and most of the following applies to the details of trading/claiming/etc. if its not a hard 'please dont', then its probably fine. 
  • you can redesign any of my designs to your discretion, with no limits, even if the design becomes 'unrecogniseable'. i ask that you do not edit my artwork in the process. you may add yourself as a designer, but do not remove my credit. 
  • you're free to unlist, private, etc any designs you get from me upon ownership. i do not require a key if you do this.
  • you're free to delete my designs or artwork off of toyhouse (i'd prefer you didn't, but i won't go out of my way to stop you) but i am not responsible for any images lost in the process, and i may not have backups.
  • ask before turning a design into a pre-existing closed species, please.
    
    
• do not upsell my designs by a significant amount without additional artwork, in terms of both money and art/design offers. just don't scalp. 
  • do not sell or trade my freebies (customs or premade) without additional artwork. literally all i ask is that you throw on at least a sketch or something before rehoming for a profit. you will be blocked and privately blacklisted if i catch you doing this. profiting off the back of free work is a dick move
  • i prefer people not sell my designs they acquire via trade without adding artwork somehow, but ultimately it's something i'll usually look the other way on, just putting my preference out there. if you're doing it for emergency reasons and you need the money, there's no hard feelings there at all, that doesnt bother me.
    
    
• After ownership of a design has been transferred, I am no longer responsible for anything that may happen to it. do not drag me into disputes to fix something out of my control.
  • should you choose to co-own a design or 'split' it, it's entirely up to you to be fair with what you do with them. i'd advise personally against uploading dual profiles, but i won't stop you. i may remove myself as a designer for double uploads or 'splits' if i feel they are being used in an unfair or dubious manner.
    
    
• commercial use of a design itself is fine, be it selling some kind of merch, or intention to use in some kind of media, you don't need permission and i don't charge fees for it. do not use my actual artwork of said design for commercial use. i'd prefer to be contacted beforehand if you plan on crediting me in any public manner for design creation, however.
  
  
• if you claim a character via trade/paypal and don't respond to confirmation within 48 hours, i'll assume you're no longer interested. i do not send transfers before payment is completed, ever.
  • in the case of art offers, im willing to be very patient, but i may send occasional dms to ask for an update. if these go without an answer for 2 weeks, i'll assume you're no longer interested, and relist the character for offers.
  • i do not do refunds for characters already sold. however you are free to resell any designs at any point - there is no 'cooldown period'.
    
    
• i don't blacklist/block people for backing out of offers, but i will block people who delete claims/offers without a word. i still get the notification in my inbox regardless of deletion and it will stay until i remove it myself. i have no way of knowing if an offer has been deleted without manually checking and it can result in holding a design for days by accident. just let me know if you can't/aren't interested anymore.
  • i'm less lenient with ghosting nowadays, i may privately blacklist and block depending on severity. something $2-$5 will probably be let off with some irritation but i rarely price anything over $10 unless i need the money.
