Life Update and Ko-fi Sale

Hey guys. It's been a good few years since you've seen me and I just wanted to give you all a little life update. Obviously I'm no longer living in the same place I was before. I'm in a much happier and healthier environment with a person who cares for me and a job that I absolutely love more than anything. I'm still getting therapy and have had a few changes to my medications as well (increase in anxiety medicine dosage and added a mood stabilizer). I also got diagnosed with BPD (borderline personality disorder) so it's helped me understand a lot about how I acted/reacted to things.

I do miss being on this blog from time to time. The interactions I've had with people here are some of my most treasured memories. Some of you have never left my mind and I've always wondered how you've been doing and wanting to apologize for any pain and hurt caused by me. I hope you all are doing well in life and that you succeed in whatever future endeavors you encounter.

As you can see from the title I'm having a ko-fi sale. If any of you remember my birthday is coming up soon and I'm turning the big 30. Technically this sale has been running since the 1st but it doesn't end til August 1st. I'm not expecting anyone to commission me or even share the information but I wanted to get it out there. But mainly I wanted to show off how much I've improved art wise over the last four years (I'll be showing some examples below). I've moved away from using 3D models and use a lot more references now to do my art. But about the sale. It's half off all commission options with code THIRTY at checkout.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it more than you know.

The soda floatzel looks up at the doorway to the establishment, then away with a sly smile. There's no one around quite yet to notice the mistletoe strung above it (possibly by himself), but more importantly, the 'zel sets another care package down in front of the door before walking off with a cheery whistling. More soda, some of it alcoholic, a lot of it more exotic and expensive than the norm... and a sealed letter, buried beneath it all to read later.

-Aria had just woken up, stretching a bit before letting out a yawn and hopping out of bed. It’d be quite a while before she’d head downstairs to start the prep for opening the cafe. She opens the door to go set up the sign Karie made for her when she saw the soda care package. Using her powers she’d take it inside, put it in her kitchen, then finish getting the sign set up. As she was heading back in again she’d notice the mistletoe. Well that was cute! But she also didn’t want to kiss strangers nor did she want to have customers blocking her door due to kissing so she takes it down- -Tying the mistletoe to her tail she’d head back upstairs to her apartment to take care of the sodas. Putting them away carefully in her fridge she’d eventually come across the sealed letter. Taking it out she’d inspect it a bit before taking it to the living room. She’ll have to read it after work unfortunately. The Espeon would head back downstairs to finish getting things ready for the day.-
