if not just toyhouse, where else do you all post your work? also, where do you find yourself posting the most often/prefer to post to?

A: closest to original as possible, most nostalgic

B: color complimenting edits (like a mix of A & C)

C: softer more pastel edits (like baby kougra)

i drew a baby kougra & wanted to color in some different ways. which do you gravitate more towards? which would you like to have for yourself personally?
i might make this a base also! if there's interest of course.

Hi again everyone ;w;/

I wanted to give you all another update on what's been going on with commission work & how I've been handling everything, including my mental health.

Since Pawmie's surgery and throughout their recovery, I've been working really hard getting through all the commission queue & since that Pawmie's gained their strength back, they've been helping me so so so much with it all too.
Life has been throwing some overwhelming stress our way, and I just wanted to express how incredibly appreciated and unexpected your support has been. We're genuinely grateful for each and every one of you.

I also want to apologize again for continuing to post adoptables in between commission work. Just to clarify, these adoptables were prepped and ready in advance, so they didn't interfere with our commitment to completing commissions. However, I feel a sincere sense of guilt when we post adoptables while owing work; it feels disingenuous, and that's something I genuinely struggle with.

In my personal life, there's just been a lot going on, including financial strains. That's why we've kept pushing adoptable sales. In addition, my mom has been dealing with debilitating pain following her back surgery, which was supposed to help but has turned into an ongoing issue for a while now. I don't usually open up about these types of personal things, but the stress and responsibility of helping everyone, including myself, has just been a lot to bear.

Taking care of my own health is a struggle, as I'm diagnosed with depression and anxiety, along with unmedicated ADHD. My emotions are deeply connected to my work, which can make it hard to stay focused and motivated on some days. I'm not someone who likes to talk about my issues, let alone my own, but I feel it's important to have transparency when you have a more intimate community like an art community!

I want to apologize for any absent-mindedness or delays. I'm genuinely doing my best to ensure I deliver everything as timely as possible! Creating art and working on projects is what keeps me sane; it's my passion and the life I've been striving for. However, the chaos around me sometimes makes it difficult to find that focus and motivation, despite my mind begging me to work on something on days I just can't. I have an unshakeable guilt when something prevents me from getting work done, and it only causes me to procrastinate more. ><;;

I'm not sharing all of this seeking pity; I just want to communicate and let you know that I'm genuinely doing my best. It's my way of explaining why I might not reply immediately, forget to upload things, or anything similar. But I must emphasize that this isn't an excuse for any lapses in my work ethic. If you feel I've taken too long on a commission, you have every right to express your concerns. I don't use sites like Trello because I struggle to keep up with them, but I promise I'm working on everything as much as I can, given the circumstances. My plate is quite full, and balancing everything can be a challenge.

I've considered the option of taking on part-time work, but with my mental health, I'm not sure it's feasible for me. I don't drive, I've never held a regular job, and I question my capabilities. Pawmie has been my unwavering support throughout all of this, and we co-own businesses together, aside from just Plushpon. We've got our hands in various projects, and Plushpon has thrived because of Pawmie's help and everyone's support ;w; <3

I have numerous ideas and ambitions I want to achieve, but currently, I feel somewhat stuck, at a standstill in life due to the overwhelming circumstances. So, I wanted to provide you with more insight into what's happening and be as transparent and honest as possible. I understand if all of this makes it difficult to want to chose us for future work >< but I promise when we're on our A game, we go crazy!!! (as in getting a lot of work done hkdfgjnh)

So... Thank you for your understanding and all of your genuine support. It means the world to me. I promise to keep working to deliver the best I can and to always communicate what's going on!!

update: pawmie's out of surgery, back from the hospital for about little while now, and has been in recovery in my care
(you can read this post for more info)
i have quite the work queue right now so i'm extraordinarily appreciative for any stand alone donations at this time ;w;; ♥

however...
i'm offering a couple last minute squeeze into the queue commissions to help raise a little bit more for recovery
;w; after that the queue has to close, there's lots of work to be done, thank you for all your support 💙

i'd been putting off making this post because i've genuinely been anxious & really nervous about it, but things are getting more real as time goes on and i've just gotta bite the bullet >< so guys, we don't normally do this, but.. we really need to ask for some financial help. near the beginning of the year, pawmie had been experiencing some pretty bad jaw pain.  fast forward a dentist appointment and they found what was thought to be a cyst in their jaw due to how their wisdom tooth was growing in wrong. after multiple doctor visits, they concluded it was a noncancerous, but aggressive tumor. after a lot of fear and anxiety and more specialist visits, we've finally got a surgery (one of possibly more) to remove it. this will require them losing that side of their jaw, and getting metal in its place. they've never had any sort of surgery before, and needless to say we're both pretty scared, but we've got a lot of emotional support from friends and family who're helping us through it, and they mean the world to us!!! (and that includes everyone who supports us here & other places, it really really means a lot!) however, being this is a rather complicated issue, it's coming with a lot of medical costs.. we only recently got pawmie on some form of insurance and while they're covering the surgery itself (I'M ALMOST POSITIVE) , there's been a plethora of things they won't cover that are really imperative for pawmie's health. the biggest reason i've been on such an adopt posting kick is because we're slowly working up funds to take care of all of this. of course it's not our only means but, to put it gently, we're just really in a very tight spot financially for a lot of reasons, but we're doing our best ><. and that brings me to why i'm making this post... i'm doing everything i can right now to at least get us somewhere but to an extent we just can't manage this all on our own.   i truly sincerely hate asking for help in this way, but at this point and i hate to say it, we're a little desperate. ideally, i want to try to raise $5000 to help cover medical costs, transportation, medicine, and groceries that we'll be needing for their recovery. however this is a lot a lot a looot of money and i by no means expect or am asking for large donations, i also want to offer something back be it art or customs. we also have a kofi where as a member you can see when we upload personal art, adopt previews (that you can claim before they get posted here to toyhouse at a cheaper price!), we have plenty of free content for members to download and use like bases for adopts, coding, etc.   i'm also making a direct donation commissions section on our kofi where i'll be offering art/redesigns/customs/etc for certain amounts of donation, https://ko-fi.com/plushpon/commissions thank you so so so much for reading and considering, your guys support means so much to us
