Just a little status update that mentions some medical stuff under the cut.

This gauntlet of sick dad and emergencies expenses is still ongoing since last year, but I’m happy to say the house is almost sold so they can have that money vs the bank taking it. Now they can settle into a RV or the likes. That’s a small blessing as my dad goes into his surgery today. Probably not going to have a foot when he comes out the other end but I really hope this signals the uptick in healing and not him just perpetually hurt and in the ER off and on forever. Been a wild one! Just felt like checking in again with this space since a lot of the folks who reached out to help by buying art came from tumblr. I’m nearing the end of the commission Que I took on to help off set the costs of the emergency but it all got done at a much slower rate then I liked but it’s been an interesting balancing act of making sure I take the time for thing important to me in this haze of- least you lose the ability to do so forever- vibe. And then also truth be told got a lot of grieving done in there for my folks and their situation which made focusing on art hard.

But I feel like in my bones they might finally catch a break even if they have to live without a proper home to get it. They’ll have shelter and it’ll be a frugal situation but it’s not one where my dad is forced to keep working while severely hurt just because if he stopped they’d immediately get steam rolled by debt and bills. He just got full disability which means he can finally drop 2 out of his three jobs. He’ll probably still do small time freelance stuff but I really just wanted him to not be an absurdly on point metaphor for the working class being grinded to dust despite doing everything right outside of not being born rich, having a human body, and having family with medical needs. It’s crazy how if I had my dads job as a young person with no kids and limited bills I’d be doing phenomenally well, but despite my dad grinding his way into a union electrician job- by the time he got it the family had already dealt with one to many surgeries and near death medical bills for it to help. It’s wild and I hate it. You do everything right and break your body for the companies and your still left with a missing foot and a life where your gonna move in with your elderly mom with your family until you can secure a RV. Bah I could go on forever upset about it but the long and short of it is that I want my parents to get the means to just sit on a porch of some kind and REST. Get a dang break. Maybe that’ll happen soon. Dad says they’ll visit me immediately once he’s better and the thought makes me very weepy in a good way. 🥹

At any rate I’m going to do my darnedest to finish my commission que and then get RGs update out the door which I’ve been chipping away at anyways for a for me mental break. Got like 20 pages sketched and postable if in the end I decide to not color them at all. We shall see I’m still excited for that project so I want to do some lighting at the very least but in the end if I need to post just to get the story out I will!

Kazz and I made a partly animated video project over the course of two years!! I was brought on to edit, and puppet animate some shots while kazz did all the traditional frame by frame animation and art assets (as well as storyboard and direct the over all project). It was a long one but something that was really cool to do!! I actually love editing and puppet animation so kazz is a real one for compensating me for something I found really fun and interesting to help with! The music I also made for kazz but for something else prior to starting this- I was happy she could find such a really involved use for it though :0

Old Nichi! My Rabsca OC! Finally made an OC out of one because I won my first ever raffle and the prize was to have an PMD OC included in something and I just- gotta get my ancient beetle grandma take out there. I just love that there is an implied immortal larvae puppet master up in there!! Info about her personality under the cut!

The idea for this oc is that she doesn’t feel old but to everyone else she comes off as ancient perpetually referencing things long since relevant when it comes to the current history. But! Besides being stuck in countless old eras, she is quite sociable! Thinking like a ghibli grandma type, someone who has long since abandoned shame and is extremely earnest when it comes to talking to people but can have a bit of spunk especially with that lack of shame holding her back. They do however have no patience for bullies in the same breath, finding the behavior immature no matter the age of the individual.

Most of her life she’s been living that civilian life style but did not participate in politics or large happenings which she found horribly repetitive in that history repeats itself kind of way (outside of protecting friends and loved ones during turmoil) She’s not nationalistic to any one identity so feels a bit like a rogue to any power figure if any. Her age she has no idea, why keep count? Her puppet shell reflects the older age she was at when she reached “enlightenment” and evolved which was older for her pre evo but now hardly feels like a decimal point in her long long life. Enlightenment means she just stopped giving a hoot about petty things and decided to live fully and earnestly so the things she treasures the most is people and the moments they can share among cultures and nature.

More gourami posts -v- There was a fashion show to try and boost moral during some rough times and a training fight to help prepare for challenges to come. For both events, Gourami put her disguise over Moslildian so she could be seen as herself!

A sketch page for Superdaniel! All my practice drawing humans can now transfer to the anthros ✨

I have soooo much going on irl that I'll probably be chipping away at my commission list for a bit so I think I'll be calling the que full for now! Especially since I was able to send my folks some much needed aid and we are so close to the May/June relief (may it be real and heeeelp)! ;v; But I'll keep up the art grind every spare moment and share what I wrap up here!

Get to know the blogger ask game!

(Oh boy I haven’t done one of these in ages but seems fun so here you go!)

Heyo! For folks who got commissions over here on tumblr, I took a break for holiday activities around the tail end of December and to finish the last hurdle of a personal project that was in an accidental hiatus for a couple years up to this point, but is finally reaching the finish line (Rival-Gates for those who know me from that PMD themed work- a new event will finally be out soon!! I was very distracted with irl and other such things where getting that finished took a whooole second but finishing RG in its entirety is a big dream of mine so thank god for the generosity of friends that helped me finish there toooo ;v; ) but I’m getting back to commissions this upcoming week! Thank you again for everyone here that got something it really did help my situation and I’ll continue to chip away at art still in my que real soon!
