Wow, two weeks to the day. That honestly wasn't planned, but I guess I know myself well enough, huh? ^^;
For those of you concerned about my emotional well being-- I'm better. This is a huge lifestyle change for me, but I'm getting the hang of finding my routine and making sure things get taken care of around here. Financially, it's tight, but I haven't even really opened for commissions yet so I imagine things are only going to improve. I don't regret my choice one bit.
I've already been creating, but the artwork has only been posted to my Patreon. The images will be available in a week, for those of you who aren't interested in becoming a patron. :3
I'll be using this last week of June to play catch-up with commissions and owed art. This is not just for my sake, but I feel it's only fair for my wonderfully patient clients before I take on anymore work. Not only that, it will make it easier for me to keep track of my own productivity, audience interest, and how much money I'm making if I start fresh in July.
Speaking of July, I will be participating in Art Fight! My profile is: https://artfight.net/~Blu_Anubiz and I'll be on Team Nightmare! >:D Anything I do for this month-long challenge will be treated as a warm up, not priority, so keep that in mind.
I'd also like to take a moment to welcome all my new watchers! Carmen's pin-up did shockingly well, and the warm reception has been a huge help in motivating me, artistically!
On a serious note, and for the sake of full transparency: people who are bigoted, support bigoted artists/writers, or are otherwise complicit when around racist/transphobic people are not welcome to participate in my art, my raffles, or my life. What people deem as "politics" is my entire existence and the struggles I deal with day to day. I wish I had the privileged to just 'ignore race' and "identity politics", but I don't. If what I'm saying makes you uncomfortable, or you just can't deal with the fact that I am not quiet about who I am or how I feel, you're free to leave. I completely understand, as it's your right to shape your online experience in anyway you seem fit.
Thank you all for your support, your comments, and your friendship. You are all wonderful, and I can't wait to make it rain with sassy OCs, salacious pin-ups, and more!

It's good to hear that things are settling. Too bad about the financial situation. Had I know I would have saved some of my commission fund. You do hyenas, and I have a lot of hyenas to draw.
