...but nothing happened

not that anyone has been asking but i got one (1) note on an old post recently and felt really guilty that i disappeared on folks without explanation so here’s what happened

so about a year ago i was really struggling to make ends meet, which you might have seen if you follow my art blog, @kamidoodles​. february of last year, a friend of mine approached me with a job opportunity with the company they were employed with, and i wound up getting the job. it started out as a very part time gig, really, maybe 10-12 hours a month; but eventually i started taking on more and more responsibilities and it has essentially become a full time job (even though i’m still technically part time under contract, there’s just not guaranteed full time hours constantly. but there’s a lot of work).

in any case, i’ve been super busy and that combined w/ my struggles with fibromyalgia has made it difficult for me to draw.

so what’s going on now?

i’m working, and also looking for full time opportunities so i can get some sweet sweet perks like health insurance and a 401(K). also i’m moving soon.

what does that mean for this blog?

to be honest I don’t know. I’d love to continue this when I can, I just don’t know when that will be. if you’re interested in my occasional doodles, have a follow of @kamidoodles or otherwise follow me on @kamibanani for cats, memes, league of legends, and updates on my personal life

thanks to everyone that helped out last year, and for making those few months i ran this blog properly really fun. i hope everyone is out there living their happiest, best, magikarp-filled life. xo, kami

I CHOOSE YOU, MAGIK--- hey where’d you go?

HELLO DAILY MAGIKARP FRIENDS,

Phew. So it’s been a hectic, hectic time, and daily-magikarp has fallen by the wayside. I still have all of your lovely asks to draw, but since I don’t really receive submissions on this blog (maybe not that many karplovers out there?) it’s hard to keep the blog going when I’m unable to draw.

The biggest news is that I have a new job! It’s a fairly relaxed job at the moment though there IS room for adding more on to my workload, which has already been discussed, so my time to draw may be a little iffy for a bit still.

My first priority are my outstanding commissions over on my regular artblr, @kamidoodles. Next, when I can, I’ll queue up more magikarp doodles from the asks you have sent me.

Submissions are always open so please feel free to submit anything magikarp related: your stories, screenshots, photos, art, whatever! You’re also free to submit links to other peoples’ work (make sure that it’s properly sourced if you do!) or things that make you think of magikarp.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding!

I really would submit, I just can't draw that well.

Hey there nonny! You don’t have to draw your karps if you don’t want to -- if you have any karp toys, or want to post screenshots of your in-game karps, or if you saw a funny karp post, whatever!, you’re welcome to submit (:

[daily-magikarp]

what happened to this blog?

i'm so tired y'all, from personal stuff and work stuff. i don't get many submissions, just asks for art. i'd love to keep this going. please feel free to submit any magikarp posts and i'll draw new stuff when i'm able.

[daily-magikarp]

A strange but happy carp.

Empty Queue, Submissions Pls~

I’m so sorry, I need to ask people for more submissions. I’ve got work deadlines to meet and I don’t want this blog to go dry :( Please send me ANY karps!

If you want to send me links to karps others have created, please send me one of those tumblr IM thingies!

<3, Kami

I’m a little overwhelmed with work right now. I’m so sorry about the lack of original karps! Please feel free to keep sending in submissions.

I’m working on clearing out my commission docket but it leaves me with very little energy for anything else.

Sorry! :(

I have a tradition of rasing a magikarp into a gyardos every generation but naming it another Pokemon. For gen 7 I have Cutiefly the magikarp and I love her.
