Hey everyone, I'm here with an update for this February. At this time I've already posted two public posts on Patreon regarding this but I'll post this here too.
About a few weeks ago my computer began to act up, with a few daily hiccups here and there. I began to experience long load and write times with my hard drive all while no major programs were running. Eventually the disk was showing 100% usage for hours at a time for no apparent reason. I checked out and tried about a dozen possible solutions since this is apparently semi-common for Windows 10. From anti-virus scans, to disk checks to windows repair and other tools all to no avail. The problem continued to progress until about a week ago from this post the Windows partition of the hard drive wouldn't even load at the BIOs screen despite selecting it as priority.
Now thankfully the night before this happened I backed up my recent art on my external drive, but due to this problem I had to put any art on hold until I got my
Yo everyone, happy almost Halloween. I'm here with a very brief update for the fall of 2020.
Commission Status: CLOSED:
As planned I opened up for commissions back in the middle of August with active patrons getting first priority, taking a total of 10 colored sketch commissions on the first day. I'm not fully confident in this method for a few reasons and I'll be continuing to evaluate how to best take commissions in the future. I've been able to work on the ones accepted before I start each month's Patreon art but it's a bit more work than I expected, since last time I was only offering 1 sequence and 2 colored images a month compared to the current 3 sequences and 2 colored sketches. But I'm confident if I cram I'll be able to get all commissions completed in due time.
Art Updates:
As for upcoming art I have Peach's colored sketch lined up for this Wednesday and Erza's sequence on Halloween. After that I'll have a few alternative versions of previous art to share in early

Thank You for the Birthday Wishes
I want to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday and to those who drew or gave me a gift, it really means a lot to me. Check out said gift images below and the rest of the artist's gallery. I apologize if they are formatted weird, journals using DeviantArt Eclipse are worse than I expected. Some are images and other twitter links. I'll be sure to leave a comment on each one in due time. Thank you again!

Yo everyone, happy 4th of July! I hope you're all staying safe and healthy as we enter the second half of 2020. I'm here with a brief summer update.
Commission Status - My current plan is to open August 15th and much like last time, take commissions on a first come first serve basis and giving current Patrons priority when it comes submission time. Here is the commission sheet for August
Art Updates - I have a few more alternative versions from older pictures lined up and ready to share in the coming week as well as June's rewards. As for this July's Patreon art the runoff poll is about to begin this morning when I finish tallying up this month's round 1 poll.
I'll know by tomorrow afternoon the winners, and who will be drawn in a sequence (1st -3rd) or a colored sketch (4th - 5th) *I'll edit this tomorrow when I know who placed where.
I also have one or two personal pieces in the works, one of which is a gift for a friend that I should have done by Monday.
I also want to draw

Plugging My Other Art Accounts
Even though I dislike Eclipse I won't be leaving DeviantArt when it rolls out tomorrow. But I will be plugging my other art accounts for those who may find it unbearable. Any art I post on DeviantArt I also post on all these accounts. The exception is Pixiv, which I may return to so I will link that below too.

Found out it was just the weather causing any internet outages so I may be able to stream as planned in the coming weeks. Also it appears DeviantArt silently removed the ability to edit comments...? [EDIT] Seems you can edit comments but only for a l...
Went from 0 dropped frames over 2 whole days to an abysmal upload rate the next. I was hoping to stream more but my internet has been acting up again. Will try and stream again once it's stable but no ETA on that.
After I finish my last commission from August, which of these themes would you like to see me draw most in November?
A. Ember and Cinder slice of life art.
B. Assorted fan art. (As in characters from shows/manga I enjoy, not requests)
C. Ember and C...
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and presents! If I haven't already, I'll leave an in depth comment on any gifts you made and thank you for the wishes personally :3
