UPDATE: 2024
It's no secret that I have a hard time staying on top of this place.
I made it a tip jar last August with monthly high res packs as the only guaranteed reward, and frankly, the only reason I was able to stay on top of that is because I scheduled all 12 high res posts in January. I just did the same for this year, so that's taken care of.
I think the main reason I struggle with this is the lack of engagement here. Of course I'm not implying that your money isn't "enough" or that I'm demanding more than that. But the objective truth is that it's hard for my neurospicy ass to pay attention to platforms where I don't really get to interact with anybody. The same thing happens to Pillowfort, Deviantart, etc, but at least for those I have the benefits of a) posting the same thing there I do everywhere else as opposed to exclusive content, and b) Postybirb. I can't really do either of those here.
But I also feel...different, this year. In a good way, I think. I feel like I'm tired of being complacent and riding coattails. This month has been a whirlwind of getting my shit in line. So far I:
- handled two serious family crises smoothly and picked myself back up quickly from both
- called my health insurance (phone calls have historically been an hours-long meltdown-inducing debacle for me) twice to switch my PCP because the previous one was consistently booked 3-6 months out and she just forgot to mention the inhaler I pulled out of my bag to show her at my first appointment so I couldn't get a refill on it or my nebulizer when I had COVID; that's been getting put off since August of last year
- made an appointment with said new PCP for Feb 1, and I'm hoping they'll be able to refer me to a dentist and optometrist because I desperately need both
- got back into therapy with an autism/ADHD specialist who can help me manage those specifically after my previous therapist didn't understand why I couldn't just Do It™; also have assessments lined up for both to get diagnoses
- pay more attention to my health in general, including diet and exercise. I'm already down about 10 lb
- restructured my planner to include a mood tracker and sleep tracker, and have been better about staying on top of it
- got Trello up and running and so far it's working really well for me
- have been doing my house chores more consistently, namely cleaning litter boxes and taking care of my snakes and tarantulas (roommates have been picking up my slack but they shouldn't have to, they're my animals)
- am able to work more consistently on my designated work days; before it was a lot of chipping away and putting things off rather than sitting down and making actually decent progress
- am finally starting a tattoo sleeve I've wanted for a very, very long time as a belated birthday gift to myself
- am consistently filling stream sketch slots, which means I can actually make money and pay my bills on-time (and a huge, huge thank you to everyone who signs up, I'm pretty sure this is the primary reason I've been able to pull myself out of the hole. Financial stability is a hell of a drug)
This year I wanna try really hard to keep the train moving along this track. If things keep going the way they are, I could potentially make some pretty big changes in the not so distant future. Some things I'm brainstorming:
- UnholyFans
- merch other than stickers (seriously I have so many designs in mind, I just haven't had the drive to work on them or the upfront capital to order inventory)
- more monster/demon adoptables
- I would really like to collab with some other artists, it's been too fuckin long
- website restructure
- picking up my side business (I did literally zero pieces for it last year oof), ideally with a rebrand
- get back into conventions and try some new crowds: reptile/exotic expos, tattoo conventions, oddities expos, sex conventions, BDSM groups...
- push the stream setup to be more professional
- rekindling the spark for my personal stories and headworld projects
- more I have written down somewhere but can't think of off the top of my head
And to be clear, I'm optimistic, but also a realist. I know from experience that shit changes and I could hit a massive depressive slump in a month or two and be back to where I was for most of last year. I'm still not going to promise anything I'm not confident I can deliver. However, that doesn't mean I shouldn't try.
I already got sidetracked with this post, so I'm gonna make a second to get to my original point and I'll come back and add a link to this one when I do. But suffice to say I want to try - again - to breathe some kind of life back into this place. I have some ideas in mind, but I want to hear yall's opinions on it too.
Watch this space ♥

18+ Art on DEVIANTART!?!?
It's no secret that I'm primarily a porn artist. Tbh, that's probably a large part of the reason I haven't invested too much time in DA thus far.
But, new TOS guidelines mean that's about to change! I've gone ahead and made two new galleries for NSFW content. At the time of this journal, they're priced at $2US each (or whatever the equivalent in points is), and afaik, it's a one-time payment that will grant access to those galleries for as long as your account is active and said galleries are up.
I don't super love the idea of hiding my 18+ art behind a paywall, but the new guidelines require it in order to post it at all. And in a world where every major social media platform has banned it outright (except for twitter, and even that one is tenuous at best) and many others are increasingly less tolerant of certain themes, I will happily accept charging a small fee if it means an art platform titan like Deviantart will loosen its restrictions rather than tighten them. Like...seriously, that is unprecedented. I hope it paves the way for other sites to do the same.
Anywho, I can still technically make the charge optional with a workaround. If you want to see my adult art for free, you still can on Twitter and FurAffinity I'm most active (and interactive) on Twitter, but it's not great for organizing or finding older art, and things might get lost in your feed if you don't have push notifs turned on. I still post regularly on FA but don't interact as much; it has better organization and archiving, but I don't post as many sketches or WIPs there. And of course, there's always my website, but this is a curated portfolio rather than a full gallery, and doesn't allow for comments, likes, shares, etc.
Ultimately, the $2 charge can either be just a convenience fee for those who don't have accounts on those sites or just don't want to switch, or just a way to show your support and appreciation. Of course you guys are already doing that here, but I figure it doesn't hurt to mention it anyway.
These are the new galleries:
