Hiatus is over

And man, it's been a good year break, but back to art again. Wifesband and other partner, and I have been amazing, mmm yummo!

So let's talk serious, my pc may or may not be on its last legs. Tbh it's had a good run. 7 years of work, and tbh it's been real good to me. I'll be saving up for that, but in the meantime I'm gonna do some commissions until then. I know, I know, I had to cut my retirement from commissions short ( year break worth) to get back into saving, but this won't be like I've been working for 20 years prior.

Prior to my year break. I was a work-o-holic, and it was not healthy at all. I had a year to think about how I do commissions, and if I am gonna be taking commissions here and there, I will be doing things very differently, at least.

I also might only take commissions from Furaffinity mostly, while making Tumblr and Instagram lead back to my FA commission journal post.

Ehh, FA has  served me well, and I miss working with other peoples OC's

Though I'll be taking commissions after I get my new pc @_@;;; Not now; I can't trust my pc to hold up till then.

Now for computer updates (in detail)

Welp, as the title says, my pc might be on its last legs. And man, it has been 7 years, and my pc has really been trucking. Not sure what to do other than use my time to save until I get a new one. I don't want to take more commissions rn because I don't want the stress of owing art when I can't work with the potential lack of a PC. Hence why I took down my commission post and journal.

So, first things first

Those on my queue who are waiting, which is only like 2 people as of now. Here is the link to my public queue

https://www.taintedsweetmeats.com/p/commission-queue.html

Second, if I just poof offline, just know it's because I don't have my pc not because I'm ignoring clients or anything. Thats something I never do, and I pride myself on that. I will be contacting clients soon.

At best, I would just be missing till mid-December :' ) *shrugs*

Usually I would ask for help and such, but I'll be honest, I'm exhausted with how my pc has been acting. Money is tight for everyone, so I don't feel right asking for donations of any kind for a new pc, Also Furry art is not going anywhere, at best. I can draw in my sketchbook and come back with traditional art to post if I get that much to post.

To put it bluntly, I'm tired.

Hopefully my disk drive can hold on till the end of the year, when I can get my new pc and just transfer over things. If not...oh well. I'm lucky I always, and I mean always, saved all my art and software on externals, which are all healthy and fine. So when I do get my new pc it won't be too bad; then I can get back to work.

 I've been in a rut for the past few months, but suddenly I can just create again lol, and I made a new oc called Brite. I always wanted an oc with rainbow hair, honestly. And he is an Akita. This is just a mock-up of a reference, but it was really just to get my idea down. Ah yes, a true blue sparkledog from me, which I haven't done since the 2000's tbh.

 Now I have a gloom dog named Aiden, I'm pretty sure, who is a wolf(goth), but I wanted another one who was a more unique breed of dog, a Pekingese! I don't see people in the fandom have this type of ocs, and personally I love these lil thangs. So here is mine; I'm naming him P-I-P ( pretty in pink), a goth boy who loves to dress in drag and loves all things pink.  Drew him in his anthro and feral form. But I'm gonna finish this soon, actually, so other than his colors being down and his name figured out. There isn't much on him. I'm him, and Brite are to be buds with Pmskie and Butterscotch, but that's about it.

This oc I'm still figuring out; I always wanted a coyote  OC, but I am unsure if I want one or not and if this will just be a draft. Either way

And here is one commission I'm working on; my fave from the recent batch.  Along with 3 freebies I have been working on for others. I have like 15 more to go. I am trying to jump-start my brain with art, and, well, so far so good; I don't want to jinx it.

Anyways, I will update as much as I can before getting a new pc and hey, maybe  I won't have to poof for a bit, and maybe my pc will hold out till mid-December. Who knows. Until then, I will be getting as much work out of this pc before it is replaced.

Later yalls

Once again, long time no see.  

We gotta stop meeting like this.:/

It seems every time I want to keep this journal up to date, life just gets busy, and that's okay. So far, I haven't updated since last year, October, and that's so much for me. I have been enjoying my life a bit more to the point that I don't pay attention much to time flying past. Though I am once again going to make an effort to keep this journal up to date, even if it's small taaaaaangzzzz.

So, despite the break, I kinda don't have a ton, art-wise, to show. ehhhh I haven't really been feeling art, which sucks. I have been feeling creative buuuuuuuuut as for drawing, I just have been having a hard time with it. Not sure why, and tbh too comfortable and happy with life to care to figure it out much. 

I feel my art will come back to me when it comes back. I'm not gonna force it since I don't have to live off my art anymore, so there isn't like a force for me to draw every damn day.

Once I'm back there, I'll be flooding my website and journal here with art. I do have this creature I was working on and finished, but it's just concept sketches for rn.

I've always been a fan of the thing and decided to make a creature inspired by that movie, just a tiny bit.  Also messing with colors and trying to get my pack of art done, it has been sitting on my desk, it needs to be done with already, so I can move on to new projects. However, this is something I still have to post on my website archive to enjoy!

 

Enjoy the work here for now!


SUPER HIATUS

So for rn I'll be taking a break from my website and social medias to relearn and study art again. I also got my hubby and a new boo thang to mingle with rn, yay polyamory, and I kinda want to focus on this a lot more. As for relearning art ehhh I just feel it's hard to do when you are always posting, at least for me anywayzzzzz, so I just want a break. 

Idk how long it will be for, but I'll be taking them often to keep my skills up to date for my own eyes. What does that mean for my journal here? Nothing, I might actually be posting here much more than anywhere else rn. I did say I'm not gonna abandon my journal like before...sheeesh that was a long time. However, when it comes to art, prepare to see the good, the bad, and the ugly. I want to have a low-pressure thing with my journal so express myself, but my best work will be on my website once I'm off my Hiatus.

alright lovlies, stay tuned.
