hospital bills (UPDATE!)

Posted 1 year, 1 month ago by labspecimen

hi everyone!! first of all I want to say thank you so so much for the support, it is a huge relief to know that there is interest in my characters and I can make some money off of them in emergency situations. Everyone has been very generous and I am also very thankful to my friends and everyone else who boosted on twitter!

With that said, I have some good (but somewhat frustrating) news! So, my mom was finally able to get in touch with the insurance, and it turns out someone at the hospital made an EXTREMELY expensive mistake and sent the bill to us when it should have gone to the insurance — it was NEVER intended for us to pay in the first place. This is a massive relief and I am so sorry for stirring any panic, the past few months + 2022 have been extremely rough on me and my family and I just accepted it immediately as another piece of bad news. I am very frustrated with the hospital staff for making such a severe error that almost put us into horrible debt, though I am glad it is resolved.

I have wrapped up any pending sales and want to thank everyone again for buying my ocs! Even though it turns out we don’t have to pay 18000 dollars lol, it still is a huge relief to have earned some extra money that I can now set aside for future emergencies. I have worked very few hours this past year due to my own health issues and have thus made very little money, so it is a huge relief to make back some of the money I lost by not being able to work.

I have also been meaning to cut down on characters for a long time — though I let go of some designs I really loved this past weekend, it has actually been a big relief finally selling them. I really enjoy collecting characters, but work + school + health issues keep me from being able to really draw them much, and I have a lot of characters I LOVE but am not super personally connected to. I think I want to narrow down my ocs to just story characters and ocs im developing. Once I graduate I plan to sort my TH some more and do another purge after I’ve narrowed my designs down a lot.

Long story short: Hospital bill was a false alarm, but I needed to make some money anyways, and meant to clean up my characters, so selling my ocs was by no means a waste. I will do another purge once I’ve sorted my ocs some more, and want to thank everyone for the support!

haii! check here for info! :-3

hai guys

my comms have been unofficially opened for a while now but i think after i finish my current queue i will publicly close them for the foreseeable future and just stick to occasional art trades or priv comms. my physical health has been rather bad for the past two years now and dealing with chronic illness makes art very difficult in addition to school + work. because quality art is so difficult for me i often undersell myself for a piece that takes hours. working on adopts the past month has been something thats helped me relax and even though it still takes me some time, it is a lot easier to do and i feel im actually being paid for my time (instead of getting $5 per hour for a large, expensive piece, i get $15-20 per hour for one design) which is more sustainable for me.

so, just wanted to post an update for people i currently owe art to. i will finish your art! so you dont need to worry. this is just as a heads up to explain why its been taking me some time.

for my other followers, my warrior cat adopts did pretty well -- is this something youd like to see more of? are there any specific colors or marking types you suggest i play around with? any other species you guys are interested in? id love to know if theres any interest also for anthro or off-base adopts. any feedback would be awesome :3
