Coworker said they liked my Canadian Tuxedo the other day and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since and obviously I had to put my fav babygirl in my outfit!!

I've literally never heard of denim on denim referred to that way lmao but I am obsessed

stolen from my instagram

yeah, idk! im just like uber depressed rn! and my job is sucking my soul straight out of my body! :)

i want to make art. professionally. i want to be able to at least be semi creative in my day to day. but again and again i come up against the wall of "I Have No Idea What I'm Doing! How Is That Possible? I Thought I Went to School For This Shit" and then closing in behind me is the "Aren't There Any Creative Jobs Out There? There Should Be At Least One! It Doesn't Have To Be I'm Drawing or Using Photoshop All Day! Just Something Where It Feels Like I'm Actually Doing SOMETHING"

And i know i could do commissions. with the right audience and mental support. id love to make stickers and other little things. but that also requires knowledge of taxes and other freelancer bullshit

i just want to do something that makes me feel like i'm actually doing something without the hassle of learning to do literally everything on my own

which i know is an impossible ask. but i need to vent it.

needed an example for comms

[jothemouse]

commissions will be on hold for a little longer. i am coming up against the wall and not finding my way around it very easily.

now can someone please make an oil change appointment for me

[jothemouse]

YOU can decide who the other cup’s for ;)

cause im not gonna finish the rest of the comic ;))))))

[jothemouse]

the doc is worried about you!!

still playing around with the idea of stickers. can't decide if i should just do headshots or go with full body. and if i should try and include items? maybe a sticker pack?? it'd be a great way to practice drawing objects instead of just people😅

Been working on art styles for maybe stickers with Abigail!!

I've been sick for like the last 4ish days and straight up this one thing is the only thing I've been able to do lmao But if anyone has any recommendations on cost effective (read: cheap but good quality) sticker printers/places, it would be much appreciated!!

[jothemouse]

Commission for the lovely @kellycataclysm featuring her farmer Lyra and Harvey!! This illustration is for a chapter in her long fanfic The Words We Never Say! Which if you have a chance and a hankering for romance with the doc, definitely check it out ;3

Also just have to say I LOVED doing this one, the smirks, the flirtatiousness, the leeaannnn!! Which is probably why it took me forever😅 But by god I absolutely LOVE doing illustrations for fanfics so I think it's worth it!

Thank you so much for commissioning me!!! <333

Commissionnnnn~

OH. I am so excited to share this one!! This commission is for the lovely @henarikat of her Stardew Valley farmer and Mr. Qi! Big BIG thank you once again for commissioning me!! I went entirely too hard on this lmao

Seriously my dumb ass is too excited about the colors in this piece.

And like so stupidly impressed with myself for making Qi's coat and hat Extra galaxy. It's so stupid but I'm so happy with it lmao

Anyway have a little Qi fruit!! Thank you again!! <3

✨Another commission!!✨ What the heck???????

This piece was commissioned by @priya-san of a scene from her wonderful fanfic "Learning How to Live Again" featuring Harvey from Stardew Valley and her Farmer, Reshmi!⭐If you have the time, PLEASE go check out the fanfic this commission is for, it is absolutely amazing!!

Big thank you again to Priya-san for commissioning me!! I absolutely LOVED working on this, went maybe a touch overboard (I know I said no backgrounds but this barely counts!! I literally just stole a screenshot from the game a blurred the fuck out of it), and am so happy with how it came out!

And if you, dear viewers, would like a commission of your own, they are still open!! Or if you'd like to just offer your support I have ko-fi and, as always, the best way to support me is just by reblogging!!!
