Today's Sketches!
Im 5 clients away from finishing last year simple sketch pendants!
English
This week finished comms.
I will take next week to finish hopefully All the Simple Sketches + Pendant Compensation Gifts from already finished commissions.
I should be able to snug one or two Sketch Pages if workflow is steady.
Trello is almost ready! Link will be up soon.

"Artists have an easy job, they just draw and have fun!"
Me calculating the price of all my different commissions and making sure they are all fair and make sense, balancing 19 big commissions in the period of 6 months, dealing with stress/perfectionism/improvement and having no free time to breathe or sleep properly:

Hay un elefante en la habitación con respecto a los influencers de arte que pide a gritos que lo discutamos

Quick reminder:
All my clients have been so incredibly understanding and patient, that I added an extra gift for every commission that's been waiting over a year or more. It is an extra drawing of any desired charas, depending on the amount of charas the original page had!

@yec_yourz Hello Yec! I loved your form so much. It is very well organized TT__TT
Would you be okay if I take inspo from this form to make a commission request form for myself? 🥺🫶
If no, it is completely fine. 💞
I hope you take care of your health and mental wellness this year.

I'm opening a Google Form for commissions!
You can submit your request via this link:
forms.gle/bQEgt5Aj8RKhYg…
The form will be open until 4 MARCH. I'll be accepting two to three requests for the coming months. ❤🤗

Coding/Pages is what takes longer for me. It is constant trial and error and re-reading the code when loops or weird behavior happens.
I am done with that and can focus full time on art one more time.
With Trello I'll go back to harder deadlines too. 🫶

Update:
After Eva's passing, I have almost a third of my day now released, as sad as that is right now.
All the work expected for 2025 end or this running 2026 will be finished starting on Monday (Already finished a few!) specially since I also finished coding my pendants.

Communication helps.
Public updates help.
Public queues help.
A clear ToS helps.
Ghosting your client DOESNT help.
Being fishy DOESNT help.
Giving excuses DOESNT help.
Let us be transparent and ethical.

I need yall to STOP using scammers as reason to say artists shouldnt take more than x time or else its a scam. Its about the COMMUNICATION, as long as there is communication and progress its fine!!! Some ppl draw slower!! Some people ARE DISABLED!

Thank you so much @Charm_the_Heart and Richard for your donations. We could afford to give her a peaceful passing and take her home with us for her to have a forever place by our side and be cared for till we leave this plane to meet her again. 😞🫶
English
We had to take a really hard decision and let her go... Thank you so much for the donations. 😞🫶 We were able to give her a peaceful rest without any more pain.
We are incredibly hurt, tired and sad... We'll take a few days to process her loss. On Monday we will resume work. 🫶

The baby had a sudden rupture and we had to put her down by emergency. There is no need for more donations, please 🥺🫶
We will refund the ones that came after her passing. Thank you still, for all the support. 🫂

I am resourceless, emotionally, mentally and economically. I cannot open commissions anymore, I have so much on my plate already, but Eva wants to live, she has the sweetest purr, my little baby...
I'll leave a donation link just if. 😞
Rtwt help too! 🥺

This is exactly why I keep an open communication and I try to be as realistic as I can with everyone. I have a list, and an important part already passed the year of waiting.
That is why ToS is so important. It helps clients know what they are agreeing with. 🙏

Still thinking about the real things artists have said to me over the years: - “I actually thought I contacted you, but that was a false memory” - “I was too afraid to message you after one year” - “I know I owe you thousands, but if you prepay X more I will do a quick delivery now” - “I'll update you this week” [every day for four months] - “Sorry I just got home a homeless person stabbed a hole in my tyre today” and more unnecessary info to the commission - “I didn't intend on scamming you” - “I admit I am one of the artists that have failed you. But I am not ALL of the artists who have failed you” - “Your commission money represents a trauma to me” and my favourite: - [Day before my debut] “I've gone to war... I can't refund you” 💀💀 Stop coming up with excuses or over explaining your personal life. This is a professional relationship 💔

I already arranged a meeting for her for tomorrow.
I can give proof of anything you ask, anything. Deposits, vet visits, prescriptions, payments, withdraws from paypal, everything.
I know this is her last chance. Tamara knows too. The baby has no feeling on her back anymore.

Another pic she took.
She left the hospital like this. Monday 10 am.
We went to take her eco and rx, and left the image lab with the kitty looking like the main post. Open. I can see her ORGANS.
We are helpless right now and her hopes are on the hands of an amazing surgeon.

This was the day she was hospitalized (Sunday to Monday).
This is my chat with my vet. Some of you have seen it already, she has seen all my babies but this goes way beyond her ability, she suffered so much trauma, so much abuse, so many hits, Its been 2 long months fighting...
