I don’t think ppl understand the whole “who cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourself” is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people don’t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

Don’t like having to come here & ask, but… My cat who we’d rescued a while ago (Bast) developed pyometra before we could spay, & has to go in for urgent surgery that comes out to $1.1k range

So I’m leaving my ko-fi if anyone wants to donate to help with costs ko-fi.com/estrelladeis...

Might go through with reopening NSFW c✨mms to the public—I think I’m in a space where I might be okay doing them again for the public eye…?

I’ll just get around to updating that info later

However—those c✨mms will incur additional upcharges, so.

I’m willing to bring back $25 full body commissions so I can pay this by the 6th. Please share around. ;w;

Some advice to artists that struggle to finish any WIPs:

If finishing a full WIP is very difficult for you, I recommend setting small goals within each artwork you do

Like for example, instead of trying to do everything in one sitting; make a goal like “Okay I’ll just do half the lineart today”

…Love how in the moment I wholeass forgot to change the ko-fi goal to being about paying Bast’s surgery 🧍
Should be fixed now !

(The actual total cost is more like almost $1.3k due to x-rays + initial consult, but the x-rays were things I could cover fine w/o being a hit to finances)

I also will have commissions open for the time being although since job does take up quite a lot of my time, but if people are interested then here

If anyone wants to help out so I can get a blood pressure cuff, I’d appreciate it. I need to log what’s needed so that way when I go to urgent care I’ll have it recorded. My dog’s vet needs pretty much emptied my wallet.

Realized i forgot to do a post asking for sharing my art on my b-day & its too late now (a whole month + late)
Alas 😭

Breaking into a new sketchbook

You gotta randomly tell ppl in your life you proud of them, how they’ve affected you. How happy you are for them. There is no right moment. Make it awkward. Make it random.
