Good evening y'all and happy August! :D
Can't believe more than half of the year is over, on the other hand I'm glad about it though since 2020 has been really shitty so far haha. I hope you all are doing alright so far! I know I'm a little late with this this month due to the reasons I've been telling y'all yesterday, my apologies again for the delay!!
Starting with a general health update and some good news! I've been mostly doing better in the past few weeks, still having trouble sleeping occassionally and have some very clear limits with my body telling me to stop & needing alot of breaks, but not only have I been able to go on smaller walks again, I'm also feeling better overall. Still sometimes have trouble with my heart rate but I got my medication adjusted so it's gotten much better which I'm very grateful for and my therapist & doctors are also helping me with coping with all the events of the past two months ! Saving y'all from lenghtier details since I do post more in-depth info on my health on my discord most of the time for those interested in it. Still taking it a little slow this month since I need to be more aware and mindful of my health overall and absolutely do NOT want to have these kind of experiences again ^^;;; BUT! I will be hosting a regular fanart voting poll this month again!!
Been already asking for suggestions in discord, so if anyone wants to drop some some character suggestions there feel free to do so!♥ I already have some characters in mind for it but don't mind any more input or variation to pick from either :) I haven't decided yet if I'll be taking only quick commissions or regular ones for this month but I'd also definitely like to do some commissions if possible! Will make that dependant on how I'm doing overall, so no set date for applications and such yet, but I'll keep you guys updated and will definitely post an announcement on discord and twitter if it's regular commissions!
Alot of this month art-wise is dependant on my health and well, the weather actually since it's August and we usually have alot of heat waves here during this month with like ~40°, which honestly make it hard to properly work but I'll do my best! I'm usually on vacation during these times because it's hard to focus on drawing when you're getting grilled for several days straight, which is not possible this year due to the pandemic ^^; Can't even go swimming even if it wasn't for my health because of Corona which also sucks tbh. but it is how it is and we'll make it through this and things will go back to normal at some point c: Stay safe everyone!!
I also have some catching up with a few messages to do but I've been dealing with very low overall energy most of the time due to my overall health and honestly focus most of my energy on making general updates here, on discord and twitter for several people to read at once instead of keeping individual conversations goingbecause it's just easier for me . I'm honestly terribly sorry for pretty much abandoning alot of one-on-one conversations and not being super talkative, but I'm just having trouble with keeping many conversations going atm. and things get overwhelming for me easily, so if I haven't replied to you yet it's not because I hate you or anything like that, it's really just because of that! I try my best to take care of super urgent or work related things of course but one-on-one small-talk or casual chatting just mostly gets left behind by me due to my lack of energy v_v I'm really sorry for that. I do feel bad about it since I enjoy talking but it's just oo toverwhelming for me. Just wanted to say it again that it has nothing to do with anyone possibly having said something wrong or stuff like that, I really appreciate people talking to me!
For the chocolate tier people, you can submit your request until the 11th of this month! still prefered via discord and make sure to pin your important character references! will not be doing plus rewards this month mostly due to not wanting to overwhelm myself with too much work at once, thank you so much for understanding! 🙏 If I might change my mind on the issue because I might be doing super well this month I'll let you guys know though! will also update this post if I realize I forgot to add something important and send a notification about it to you guys.
Not much else to report for now, I'll keep you updated if that might change and hope you'll be able to enjoy summer as much as possible with the current restrictions! Try to make the best out of it and focus on the good things ! ♥
Thank you guys so much for your support, your patience and your kindness and I hope you'll have a great August!~
