Being a Flattening/TF artist can be so absurdly unrewarding, plenty of useless drama together with it being a super specific niche thing that gets tiny engagement, sometimes not even self-indulgency or commission money can feel like enough motivation to continue doing so. I suppose this is an overall common issue for any kind of artist really, but it does feel even stronger in our themes here.
So as sappy and corny as this sounds, do appreciate your favorite squishy artists out there; it's not from nothing that such comically high amount of them quit all of sudden!
I'm doing ok here by the way, this is just a random thought that comes to mind now and then, no worries! 🤍

Description
Patreon commission for The Fire Yoshi with his Lycanroc OC Jones, who's looking to recruit more members for his Pokemon exploration team.
I tried to enlist myself in, but I'm not sure if I caused a good first impression, triggering hidden piston wall traps on all of our field test expeditions so far... 💦
Backgroundless version and Timelapse GIF here in my Patreon (For free!).
