Hey guys. I know the holidays are coming up and everyone is strapped for cash, but if anyone is looking for a cheap sketch commission, I'd really appreciate the work.

Man, are things in my life spiraling. Without going into all of the details, I have to move out of my home very quickly. I'm in the middle of a nasty divorce and I've had to escape from a really abusive husband. This means I'm losing my home by the end of the year or so. Everything is really chaotic and stressful right now and all I can do is just try to get my shit together so I can be as prepared as possible for all of this, however it's going to turn out. Which is terrifying. It's been extremely rough though, not gonna lie.

As I'm sure most of you know though, moving is really expensive and I've got a lot of other expenses to deal with too. Art is my sole source of income.

I've actually had several people reach out to me upset or mad because I closed down the Patreon so quickly. I'm really sorry about that. The Patreon was opened because things were getting scary in my marriage and I was hoping to be able to earn enough money to escape from my husband. But he and his abuse prevented me from having the mental capacity and drive I needed to draw and run the Patreon. Honestly, I didn't want to close it down, I had sooo many things planned, but it was what was best for my mental health. The quality of my work was suffering anyways.

I can only stay in this house until late December/January, and I've been really busy with tons of appointments so as much as I wish I could, I can't take on any colored or painted commissions right now. But I can promise you'll get your sketch quickly.

If you know anyone that has a character they'd like drawn please link them to this page or show them my work. Please try to spread the word around. You all helped me and my parents out so much last year and I am so grateful for it. If you don't want a sketch, even going to my Gumroad shop and buying a pack or my Queen's Crown art book would help a ton too.


So, all of that being said (sorry, I know it's depressing), I'm opening up some cheap sketch commissions. I'm asking $15 for a waist up/thigh up or chibi, and $25 for a full body sketch. These are refined sketches, not super messy/quick ones. NSFW, furry, anime, comics, etc is fine. All I ask is that you don't request super detailed/cluttered/armored/mech characters. I'm running on a really small amount of time and I have so many appointments and obligations right now that I can't dedicate days to a single picture. But I'll make sure your sketch comes out clean and nice! As much as I'd really love to take on full colored commissions right now, there's just not enough time, I'm sorry.
For the first 3 commissions, I'll give you a $7 pack of your choice from my Gumroad shop for free as a bonus! Also, f you buy a $12 pack or the QC art book I'll give you a free waist up sketch if you note me with proof of your purchase!

Hey guys. So my life has devolved into total chaos and everything super sucks but in the meantime I somehow managed to get all of my Queen's Crown series stuff packed together and uploaded on my Gumroad store. The pack offers all of the lineart, hires .PSDs, stats pages and sketches, etc that I made for the series for a really low price.

I cannot overstate how helpful any/every purchase of this digital book will be for me and my family so if you're interested in it, please consider picking it up!

I'm also considering making all of my Patreon stuff ever made available on my Gumroad too. Please let me know if you'd be interested in that, because I don't want to take the time to put it all together for nothing. It's at least 30GB of pictures, variants, videos, etc., and my internet is balls so yeah.

It's been fun

2 min read
To be honest, it's been a struggle to draw for myself, personally, for the last several years. I stopped enjoying a long time ago. Most of the commission requests I get, I really enjoy. But I just don't want to sink any more time into drawing for myself, because it's not fun, it's not profitable, and there are other things I'd much rather be doing. So really, this has been a long time coming, and maybe it's reflected in my work. All I know is that I don't want to do it anymore, and so I'm ending it here. That's why these are the last covers I'll be selling, and I'm selling off the rest of my stock.

I'll still accept commissions, probably, especially from the ones that always come back for more, because their repeated commissions really touch my heart. But any commission requests will need to be sent to my email address, which is the same as my dA account name, at hotmail.com

So, just wanna say thank you to everyone that's been watching my art and following me all these years. Thanks to everyone that expressed interest in my work and commissioned me. It was fun while it lasted, but it's going to be a huuuuge weight off my shoulders to be leaving it behind. 

Toodles!
