Moving forward


To be honest, I'm not really having much fun drawing anymore. I still kind of like making characters/doing adopts, but having to take on more commissions than I can realistically handle on a regular basis just to feed myself is... draining to say the least. And contrary to popular belief, I am not a horndog, I don't have any dislike toward nsfw, but I honestly prefer sfw, or like suggestive but with no genitals or anything actually visible, I don't like being surrounded by nothing but porn all the time, but I know that's kind of the only thing that sells, so I have to keep doing it. Maybe its just because I'm pretty much ace, but idk.
Either way, I regularly just kind of want to completely vanish from the digital art scene.
Obviously, I'm not gonna do that, at least for the foreseeable future, since I still have outstanding commissions to finish and I still haven't been able to find a more 'proper' job.
But I think for now, I may switch to solely doing adoptables and YCHS, instead of any kind of commissions, and the only way to make specific requests will be through the discord server for my monthly supporters (if you'd like the link to that, just dm me for it) or maybe I'll occassionally open for simple things like chibis and pattern blocks if I need some extra money for anything.

I've been in an extremely piss-poor place mentally for way too fucking long, and I want to try and fix that, so I'm gonna try and step away from commissions to take some of my stress down.

I want to get out of debt, I want to move out of this god awful state, maybe out of this god awful country all together, but that will take more time. I'm tired of not having anyone irl, of doing things that don't make me happy. At this point I kind of just want to focus on my real life, I'm honestly sick of being online all the time.

I wish I had money, I'd get a bunch of SFW comms, Im also surrounded by porn a lot, and while I don't mind it, SFW is always really fun and cute to see!
Its worth doing SFW comms now and then uwu

I understand the strife. I myself stepped back from doing commissions a while ago, of course it is difficult to fund oneself when stepping back entirely... at the end of the day its such a cycle. Need money, do art, feel stressed, art = work not play, no time to play, now you need money again. I wish you great luck with what you might decide to draw, I know your adopts are cute as SHIT.   And I wish even further that you can get to your goals ;; rooting for you

That's really the big reason I quit doing commissions. I absolutely dreaded working on commission work, and it really sucked all the fun out of drawing for me.

Taking care of yourself is the first priority!
Hopefully once you get some stress down and save enough money to move somewhere better, things will get better~

Take a break if you need to, your health is so much more important, I'm sure your commissioners will understand

SFW stuff can be cute and fun, Cheesecake is an entire genre of porn in and of itself. But pictures of everyday cute cubs doing cute things is also fun to look at. I’ll still be here if you want to go full SFW with cubs, I love looking at them either way.
I hope life gets better for you, and you can find a happy balance in life.

many people find commissions mentally draining and soul-destroying

just take a break and let yourself recover, however long that may take

and whenever you feel like starting up again, you will feel refreshed :)

Have you ever thought about becoming more active in other areas? Like creating original characters with personality or even comics? I think that could be a great path — I’ve seen artists with strong technical skills make a decent amount of money doing that.

" I want to get out of debt, I want to move out of this god awful state, maybe out of this god awful country all together.


I kind of relate to how you feel. I hate my country too — it’s tough living in a place with poor conditions or limited economic/personal freedom.
Good luck, by the way. I’m also trying to find a way to leave mine.

definitely understand where you're coming from, i've also been super burnt out of being surrounded by porn. personally i really love your designs and your art is super cute without the porn so hopefully doing more of that  and less commission works out! (i would support if i could 😓)

echoing someone else here, commissions as main source of income is so exhausting its why I retired once I won SSI :c I'm sorry you're feeling burnt out as well

... Wow. Glad i'm not the only one who doesn't want to see porn (of all kinds) all the time. I'm demi (debating), fictosexual/romantic, pansexual (for IRL) and genderfluid (for IRL). Thus, i'm very picky...

I'm in a "alright" place and able to do strictly SFW art, and its my jam! So its relatable. >.>

Would take a YCH slot but my main 'sona MUST have clothes if seiso! ^^;
