This is going to be vague, so bare with me. (Bare? Bear? Which is it? Idc)

Making this journal to address stuff I've been going through for the past 2 months. And some other stuff that's been affecting me for the past 5 months.

To start off, I apologize for the lack of art on my end.From patreon, furaffinity, and other places. I haven't been feeling that well about my art for a while. I was actively trying to improve my skills and speed. I was making amazing progress and feeling up for any art task. But it quickly got halted 2 months ago.

My family suckered me into doing something that I didn't want to do. For the sake of the family and family business. In hindsight it was the dumbest mistake I could've made. Biggest blunder of my life. I've always wanted a life of my own, and to be independent from them. But now I'm wearing shackles and chains the size of the world and it's getting very hard to breath and find myself.

Now that I want to get out, I can't. I need help getting assistance or helping hands, but I don't have the right system to do so. I'm understaffed, overworked, and burnt out.

A series of minor mistakes have collectively added up to a financial time bomb that I need to wipe my hands clean of.

I've been feeling like a gigantic failure as a person and an artist. I am worn out mentally and socially, and I'm starting get worn out physically. Essentially leaving me with no energy to do anything, not even the things I enjoy. Not even the people I like to talk to

I'm okay, for now. But I don't think I'm coming out of this the same person I used to be.

If I do get out, I'm gathering my things and bouncing from my family. They are willing to leave me out here fending for myself against a pack of wolves while carrying the burden of running a business alone. Selfish, but whatever, I don't care anymore.

(I'm going to keep my patreon and kofi open because it's my only consistent source of independent income that I have besides commissions. Which I have significantly less time for.)

Thank you for submitting commission forms! All two slots are filled! But I am still accepting slots for icons if anyone is interested

I'm opening commissions for October. I'm accepting DM's and applications until Wednesday evening.
*There are only 2 slots available*
and only 2 slots available for icons

I can only accept commissions through paypal.

So over the past two months my HDD has been gradually failing. I've been putting off replacing it because I've got other things to spend on. Today it decided to be on its last leg and it is refusing to cooperate. I can't even open my files so I can continue working on art. Luckily I backed up all my art files on an external drive, so everything seems to be fine for now. Unfortunately this hard drive failure is going to set me back more so than usual.

I could really use some help with getting me out of this little hole. I'm just going to drop my Ko-fi and Patreon link. I would really appreciate a little bit of money to help with fixing up my computer.

If you want to catch me around the floor and stuff I'll be roaming the grand hall, the artidt alley, and the dealer's den. I'm awkward as hell but don't be afraid to say "howdy"!

Running late on this journal, seeing as its already one day after the first day of the year. It's just i'm so busy with stuff!

2022 marked the 7th year I've been posting my art, and the second year of launching my Patreon! I'd like to thank all my patrons who've supported me from the beginning, and those who joined through out its run.

I feel like i've drawn so much this past year. This new coming year i'm going to make sure I complete some of my sketches that didn't really get to see the light of day. There's some genuine good stuff in my files that just ended up not getting finished because my schedule made me lose interest. Going to try to be more ambitious with my art this year

Thank you so much for the support y'all! 🧡

Just saw everyone making journals about being "back" on Furaffinity because of all the chaos happening on Twitter. I thought it would be fun to make a journal about it.

Although i've been using FA for several consecutive years. Can't really be back if you never left.

Anyways, here are several other places you can find me:

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Glass0milk
Twitter: https://twitter.com/glass0milk
Twitter AD : https://twitter.com/glass0milkAD
Tumblr: https://glass0milkart.tumblr.com/
Pillowfort: https://www.pillowfort.social/Glass0milk
Itakuee: https://itaku.ee/profile/glass0milk

And if you need to find other places I have a link tree for convenience: https://linktr.ee/glass0milk


Regardless of anything, Furaffinity will be my main gallery.

I'm gonna be going to STRATOSFUR 2022 with a group of friends

Its going to be my very first furry convention! I'll be there with a small group of friends, trying to figure out what furcons are about.

Made a Buzzly: https://buzzly.art/~Glass0milk

Go follow it if you want, I'm uploading my art from 2019 right now, let's see if this art website is good or dies out in 6 months :]

Thank you all for the support for my art! 2021 I finally got around to launching my Patreon, and I think its been a success! I met so many cool friends and new art mutuals!

I would say I don't have many "new year's resolutions" but I do! I won't say what most of them are. One of them is definitely to continuing to improve my art. Another is to take more commissions, I want to keep trying to take commissions. I'm planning to make it to TFF this year in March. If I do make it, it'll be my very first furry convention I attend

Remember to be safe tonight and the rest of the year. There is always a spike in covid cases around December and January, along with winter.
Thank you again for the support 🧡

Come join if you want to play Jackbox or Among Us. and in the future other video games maybe.

DM for a link to the server

So I finally decided to launch my patreon page!
You can check it out right here:

https://www.patreon.com/Glass0milk
https://www.patreon.com/Glass0milk

Subscription tiers will get you different rewards depending on the tier. These tiers include things like: high-res pictures, early access to pictures, polls, PSD files, and Works-in-progress. So if you're interested in any of these tier rewards, check out which tier suits you. I'll probably add more things to the tiers but this is what my patreon is launching with.

I've been pretty slow with art recently because I'm trying to take more breaks to prevent myself from burning out. It doesnt help that I'm dealing with the classic seasonal depression and anxiety, but hopefully I'll get through this. I thank yall,for following me on furaffinity, Twitter, and any other platforms I'm on . Hopefully I'll have more art to come this year, and I can improve my skills

Anyways, I hope yall are having a safe time during these holidays! And continue to stay safe especially during a pandemic! Hopefully it'll be over by next year.
🥂

I'll still be uploading on furaffinity but i'm also on all these other websites

March 7th marks 5 years of me being on this website. Yay...? I thought I'd make a journal now since I just hit 1400 watchers.

I thought I might make a journal about this. Dont know. As of right now my grandfather has passed away. I'm going to another country for his funeral. Expect delays and a sudden slow down in content and interactions on here and twitter.

Do I just do it through journals or should i post a picture announcing it? I dont want to clog the gallery with stream announcements and stuff but idk if journals get as much reception

I've been thinking of opening slots for commissions, like 2-3. But what would people be interested in?

2⃣0⃣2⃣0⃣! Wow! Hope y'all have a great year!

🎄may you have a festive holiday!

Artist with a cute style watched me and I wanted to watch back but they blocked me :/

Who knows if I'll be around for the actual day of Christmas but in case I'm too busy tomorrow. Happy Holidays~! Have fun, stay safe, and drink responsibly
