Didn't wanna post this on my Twitter since whenever I make updates I always lose a couple followers, so:

Apparently the stress from having to take care of Raptor and getting less than ~6 hours of sleep at max each night gave me a big ol' ovarian cyst (basically in summary, makes me feel real sick and get random chills/really intense shooting pains in my abdomen). I really wanna make some art, but right now I'm gonna hold off for a bit until I can go to an appointment on the 15th to get that sucker checked out for a peace of mind. 

But yeah! After this is all over, I should go back to my old art routine and post often again since (hopefully) Raptor will be all healed up and I'm assuming the cyst'll go down. Just wanted to share an update since it's already been a whole month after I last made/posted artwork officially. :O Also this ain't a complaint or anything-- I don't really mind this all happening since hey, shit happens, but I figured it's good to not drop off the face of the planet like I usually do. 

So some people who know me might know that my family's (even though he was technially mine) cat Pepper passed away on the 24th last month, and my own cat that I got when I was 13 just got full urinary tract blockage and is staying overnight at the vet. AND to top it all off, he has a heart murmur which could either be something the vets need to be careful about, or it could be REALLY bad and he could potentially die from the surgery. 

So tl;dr: 

Will be taking a bit of a break from Ocember, at least for the next few days. I have this and then a final project I have to complete so I'm gonna be taking extra time to relax. 

So if I'm not updating the thread along with some people, don't be alarmed. I'll take a day some time after this is settled and catch up again. Right now I'm not in the right mind and I need to calm down a little. 

I made a proper commission sheet so I'm remaking my newspost! :0

Price may vary depending on if a bust, waist-up, knee-up, or fullbody image

**Detailed backgrounds are an additional $2.00**
(Plain gradients and abstract shapes will not cost extra)
 

Commission Details:

You will receive a full resolution image, along with the .psd file once the image is completed. 
- I should take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to complete it
- I would like to be payed upfront
- $2.00 more will be charged for an additional character added
 

I will not draw:

- heavy amounts of NSFW; mild nudity is fine but I will not draw actual porn scenes, to put it bluntly.
- clear fetish work-- not that it's bad, but I prefer not to draw things like that. 
- no children
* no refunds after the artwork has been completed*

If interested, please make sure to note/DM me the following:

• - a title with the word "Commission" in it
• - type of commission (eg. a flat coloured bust, a full body sketch) 
• - a description of the character, very preferably with a visual reference sheet
• - whether or not I may post the image
• - (optional) if ordered, what you would like the background to be
• - (optional) any additional comments/concerns/hopes/dreams/aspirations

Made the thread for OC December if anyone wants to join in.

https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1436727

Since this isn't a real thing, I wasn't sure whether I should make a thread for it or not in the art forums.

Basically, OCember's focus is to flesh out old/current characters and to also get better at designing new ones. I made a prompt list, but you're free to follow your own-- as long as you're doing art for each day. 

So I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in participating? Because it would be kinda (for lack of a better word) awkward if I were to make a thread but be the only one posting in it. ;w; 

But I have to because I like to, so leaving this here

Got a temp part time job today! Only pays minumum wage but hey, money's money. And everyone there is really nice so that's a definite plus. 

But anyway, since I'm taking both a hardcore anatomy class and having a job at the same time, I'm probably not going to lurk on the forums as much as I used to. I'll of course still post art and stuff, but that's the thing-- I'm going to prioritize doing art over browsing. So ye! If I disappear for certain amounts of time, that's probably why. 

So uh, I'm dumb. Writing this here so I don't forget my shenanigins. 

My sister came over yesterday, was drinking some wine, and offered me a sip. I didn't really wanna drink out of the same bottle she did since they were mini-bottles and she didn't pour it anywhere. So I poured some into a smaller cup trying to measure what a "sip" is... and poured way more than what is actually considered a sip without realizing it because apparently I'm that bad with measurements.

So after she went home ~15-20 minutes later, when I was walking upstairs, I noticed that my vision started to look really funky. Like everything looked a few shades darker and my head felt weird. I sat down on my chair and felt to need to listen to music, so I ended up listening to about 3 goreshit albums in their entireity. All the while I drew a bunch of art because I felt the urge to draw cute grils. 

After about two hours, I felt extremely tired and ended up almost falling asleep numerous times while still spamming goreshit to myself. 

I went to sleep, and when I woke up today everything now hurts. My arm feels like it's about to fall off for some reason, my hunch being because I kept drawing so much.

So yeah. That was an interesting experence, though I can't at all see how or why people do this often. I barely drank much at all yet my brain hurts so much. Not worth it for me imo.

tl;dr

I accidentally got tipsy/drunk, and ended up drawing anime garb while listening to goreshit for 3 hours straight. 

So for anyone else who posts their work on Deviantart on the side, has anyone else noticed a sudden drop of views in the past couple days? I just submitted my most recent and it didn't do so well so I figured that something about it was wrong, or that maybe the thumbnail wasn't compelling enough. 

But here's the thing; I submitted another piece to my side account which is part of a niche community. Normally work submitted there gets a lot more views than my normal stuff... but the same thing happened. It only got a very miniscule amount within a couple hours when normally it gets a huge spike and then drops off. 

Are people maybe migrating off of Deviantart and onto to greener pastures? I'm also suspecting that they maybe changed something on the front/newest section. 

Anyway, here's some unrelated music for the heck of it.

So I won't be here for a few days, at least until Sunday/Monday. This'll be an interesting experience. ovo
