Hi everyone!

Just wanted to get the early word out that I plan on reopening commissions publicly again soon, before switching back to my Patron priority queuing system.

I will be using my new prices for this next batch, which you'll find on my listings page on FA ( https://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/chocolatekitsune/ ). I have price lists for refsheets and comic pages pending upload, which I should hopefully get done over the next few days. They'll be accessible there, if so.

Furthermore, to celebrate getting past several significant follower milestones on Twitter, I'll be running a fun little raffle for free art on there.

I don't wanna give too much away, but if you'd like to get a head start preparing for that, you might wanna follow my Twitter art account ( https://twitter.com/aveclechocolat ), then browse my art galleries and pick some faves.

Stay tuned!

It's late at night at the end of a day I set aside for rest, and boredom turned its sights inwards to latch onto whatever the insecurity of choice might be.Tonight's is my long-standing fear that folks don't identify with where I've gone with my art, and it's no longer as much of a source of wish-fulfilment for them as it used to be.I can't deny that sexual gratification is still the main goal of what I do, and it's fine if that's mostly what folks get out of it; but there's a lot of myself that goes into what I make and how I do it. I've felt a lot like that aspect of it no longer resonates with, or has outright alienated some of my audience.For as long as I can remember, a major part of what I do has been motivated by providing folks with a source of escapism and self-fulfilment via the fantasies in my art. Over the past couple of years I've wanted to shift the focus more towards stories I'd like to tell by way of the characters I've made and the worlds they weave around themselves; however, I wonder if it's a bit too much to ask of most folks to follow along with the stories mostly implied by the art I share - that it could be just a little impenetrable and harder to get invested in now.It's a scary prospect that my own choices might have undermined people's interest in and the self-fulfilment they glean from what I make. It's also not something that can be easily quantified or helped either way. I'm still gonna keep striving for what I find most satisfying to make, and I hope I continue being lucky enough to have an audience who enjoys it enough to keep me afloat while I do it.I think I prefer being overly aware of myself as opposed to lacking the ability of self-reflection, but today was meant to be a day off. Would be nice if my self-doubt didn't creep in so consistently whenever I've been disciplined enough to give myself time to relax, is all.

I'm sure a lot of you have heard the news by now that I have my first stream at the new studio scheduled for this Thursday the 21st, at 6PM CET. As you might have guessed, this comes as a result of things having settled considerably since my last blog post here.
Shortcake has since been cleared of Covid thanks to a supplementary test we booked over the weekend - about halfway through our mandatory quarantine. I also tested negative, meaning that I managed to keep away from the infection and we can both rest easy now. Since then we've been getting around to enjoying each other's company properly for the first time since she moved in, which has helped my mental health tremendously.
In the meantime, we've both been working hard to make the house we're renting together into a home. With a lot of the heavy lifting done and dusted, I've been able to shift my focus back onto work as I'd originally planned last week; hence the celebratory inaugural stream planned for later this week.
Once again, I want to thank you all for your immense patience with me during these trying times. It's stressful enough as it is to stay afloat while managing my time and energy between all that's important to me, but knowing I have a lovely community and supporters to come back to when I'm able to is very reassuring.
I'm doing my best to do just that, so stay tuned.
Thanks again.

I think the one thing I hate the most about this crazy career of mine is that my worst slumps have me begrudging others' success.

I end up not being able to celebrate and enjoy my peers' fantastic, amazing artwork because I feel like it reflects negatively on me not keeping up. It's an irrational impulse and I acknowledge it as being just that, but it still affects me harshly and is really scary to admit to. It feels like I'm outing myself as being a very petty, jealous, selfish and egotistical person, even if it only comes out when I'm at my worst.
Ultimately it's all motivated by a feeling of shame, cause I've never felt like I manage to maintain a consistent pace or good momentum with my work for more than a couple weeks at a time. Unless I'm going at a fairly leisurely pace, which never feels like enough, I tire fast. While I've been happier trying to focus on what I want to create without worrying about "numbers," per se, cashflow is a constant burden.

2020 was the worst for it in hindsight, but I had planned for it to be the year that I make this work, or start looking into alternatives.
Other factors aside, I've often felt like I haven't put enough of my energy into the right places to earn my success and stability doing this gig. I'm eternally grateful for the support everyone gives me, but since the struggle hasn't abated much at all, I continue to worry.
I don't want to give the impression that I'm giving up here; I want to keep fighting as much as I can to see this through. This is a recurring fear of mine that, as time goes by, gets to me worse and worse each time I find myself doubting.
Giving it a voice helps me cope, so thanks for hearing me out.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to write another quick, once-in-a-while journal to fill in the gap in activity. I'm still around! I'm just a little preoccupied with life stuff right now.
If you saw, about two weeks ago I held a series of special streams to celebrate the three-plus years I spent creating content at my studio before I pack up shop to move in together with my partner. We found a great opportunity to live together and I'm currently neck deep in getting everything ready for that. It's turned out to be a little more involved and tiring than I expected; just making sure I don't forget anything along the way. I really want it to go well, but I've been losing myself in recreation a lot more to compensate.
That having been said, most things are moving along very, very smoothly! I'm getting very excited to see it through, and make use of the new venue for hosting plenty more streams and making kinky content. I'm working hard so that I can get back into things as soon and easily as possible.
I have a fair bit of content lined up for upload, but even that is its own creative process since I like to add flavour text to everything I post for you guys. It's unfortunately gotten a little held up as a result.
That's about it! Really just wanted to check in with everybody who might not be subscribed to my other more active channels, and let you know that I'm still going at it despite my lack of uploads as of late. Thanks for your continued support, love you all!
