TL;DR gonna be posting a lot of adopts as it's my only source of income til I get paid for my freelance work, which takes frustratingly long!
I'm pretty overwhelmed with my current workload on that front so I've making adopts as warmups

I have a number of dragons in the works (obsessed with dragons rn- dunno why) both continuing with the Lisa Frank rainbow sparkle aesthetic and some edgier gothier ones
and a handful of these lil shark guys

uhh uhh I think that's it, dunno why I'm making this bulletin I guess just keep an eye out if you're interested??? :3

Hi TH, I am a broke bitch rn and wanna make some more adopts, i want to do some ‘simpler’ ones in the $95 range, so give me suggestions of some things you’d like to see if that’s within your budget :3

Sorry to anyone trying to get ahold of me on here- I haven't been active on TH for a few months.
I'd like to change it because I actually LOVE this site, and how character-focused and personal art it is, it reminds me of old DA and that really brings me joy. I miss browsing this site and seeing everyone's amazing ideas, the creativity on here never ceases to amaze me.

I've just been insanely busy and definitely overbooked myself with various obligations, events, projects etc etc.
I feel like I can never keep up with everything required of me to be an artist, I really don't like using social media and it causes a lot of burnout just to be EXPOSED to it and have to post by necessity.

Not to complain too much but I am constantly inundated with messages, everytime I post art I tend to get a flood of comments/DMS etc, and it's quite overwhelming although I am VERY grateful for how much people love my art and want to support me.

I won't be taking commissions anytime soon, so if you have a question about when I'll be open, the answer is "I have absolutely no idea."

I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of comments and messages- so apologies about that, I cleared my inbox so feel free to reach out there if you need me and I'll do my best to respond, if I don't please understand it's never personal, it's just whatever is goin on with me creates all these mental roadblocks I'm still navigating on how to deal with.

I tend to fall behind USUALLY because of mental illness issues, I'm really trying to work on it but woof, it's honestly very tough to deal with having ADHD/bipolar disorder/CPTSD/OSDD combo- so pretty much any lapse in communication is always due to that.
It's honestly quite humiliating to deal with this all the time, and often feels like an uphill battle, but I'm still not giving up despite that.

Which still sucks for anyone who is trying to get ahold of me, I want to be more accountable on that front but I hope people can understand I have a lot on my plate and just really struggle with my mental health constantly- on top of trying to survive as an artist in 2025... it's SO HARD on ALL of us, and I really hope anyone who is reading this and struggling in similar or your own particular ways, things are tough but we're tougher, we gotta persist and we can get through this. I really wish any artist trying to make a living the best of luck, I still hope some day I'll be financially stable enough to support people financially but in the meantime I am frequently very broke.

Thanks for your understanding, and if you're reading this I wish you well, these are pretty chaotic and often dark times, but the support always means a LOT- comments, favorites, sharing my art- like it really means so much to me and I can't express my gratitude enough.

Gonna be real I have no idea if I'm gonna be able to participate, or if I manage to it'll be later in the month, cuz I have a commission queue and don't think it's fair to commissioners to engage in it before I've completed their work.
It's def good motivation to wrap things up once and for all and tie up loose ends, I've been behind for way too long orz

BUT that said, I updated my characters on there and hope I can eventually join in!

If nothing else I'll have fun standing on the sidelines and watching the amazing work others are doing, it's really inspiring to see what everyone's creating for it <3
