Well, here's the update I've been putting off all month:


It's been a while since I opened commissions so I'm not anticipating this being news to anyone, but just to make it official I wanted to let my followers know that I do not plan to open commissions again, unless something dramatically changes.


This comes from a mix of lack of motivation, and medical issues that are making drawing rather difficult. I don't feel like I can reliably produce consistent quality artwork at a steady pace anymore, which are two very important factors for offering commissions (at least for me xD)


That said, I hope once I get my queue cleared that I can start to post other things; personal work, occasional adopts, etc. (adopts because you can see the quality when you purchase them and they're already made! Subverts both issues I'm having) So, stay tuned?


Anyhoo, I've refunded quite a few commissions at this point, and I'm attempting to (slowly) wrap up the few I have left. Thank you all for your patience and understanding. <3

If you have a commission and would like a refund:

Please shoot me a note! I believe I've contacted everyone about refunds, so if I missed yours then I don't have you on my work list :'D and you should definitely message me.


If you have a coupon for future commissions:

For those of you I gave coupons to as part of a refund you'll be able to use these on flat-sale adopt prices. If you have 20% off a commission, then you can get 20% off flat sale price. (This won't work on auctions just because it'd be complicated trying to calculate while bidding)


If you have a freebie from me, or a very old work I've agreed to compensate:

I'm going to try and complete these, since I can't really refund some of the things I was given (ie, the advertisement from the watcher raffle).


Unfortunately, since I don't have a better solution at the moment, these will still be a bit slower to produce than I'd like. If you're owed one of these and would like to talk to me about something more immediate (say, a voucher for one free adopt or something) please send me a note. <3

Much love!

Current life status:

- new meds are working fairly well?

- cpap seems to be doing... eh? Okay? Not all the results I was hoping for, but some!

- my cat is still in and out of the vet, she's doing well right now & her TK levels came back normal so fingers crossed its not cancer.

- I had surgery last week, recovering now! wee~


Commission status:

-Issuing refunds for several commissions to lessen the work load, this is probably long overdue

-I haven't refunded everything just yet, BUT if you would like to request a refund, all of my owed works are currently well deserving of a full refund, as is explained in my terms of service.

Note: With a refund you get the invoice refunded, and you're allowed to keep any progress I've made on said commission. When/if commissions open in the future, you are allowed to come back with any WIPs and use them as a discount if you'd like them finished. (ie, if its sketched you can get the cost of a sketch taken off, lined, etc)

- Things I can't refund, like compensation art for an old commission I failed to produce back in my early 20s, or raffle rewards, are still going to be worked on

I know I didn't get to really announce this but I wasn't able to access my computer as readily as I would have liked at the start of the quarantine lock down. I was unable to really work on art in that time period, but I'm back online now and will slowly start working on picking up progress on my belated commissions. I believe I updated everyone I owed art to, but, if I missed you my deepest apologies! Feel free to contact me if you're interested in a full refund due to covid delays. Thank you <3

Holiday coms are over and closed~ I don't have anything fancy for updates, mostly I wanted to clear off the last journal.

Quick promo for my sister?friend?person: 

Her soul mate pup needs chemo so she's got a gofundme going for him. -- I might offer special commissions for this in the near future but I'm figuring things out. in the mean time, if you want to share the word that would be greatly appreciated!!

Small update on commissions: 

Lately I've been having issues getting notifications from google forms. It's happened 2-3 times now, so I'm trying to figure out where those emails are ending up in my inbox. In the mean time I'm just going to be checking for replies in the form directly until I can figure it out. I apologize for any delays getting back to people!
