So some things have happened, not all of it has been great and yes, it's all really difficult to talk about it. But if you don't talk about it, then nothing changes.

It's a secret to nobody that I suffer badly with depression and anxiety, and have struggled for a long time with both those things atop problems in my personal life ranging from health to losing Mat. It all came to a head in April when I attempted to take my own life. Since then, I've waited for therapy, I've hung in there and I've started making changes in my life to improve it. I've seen a psychologist and been diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder, depression, mild ptsd and something called Complicated Grief Disorder.

It's bad enough hearing it and doing the questions for it.

But it's not all bad - these things are treatable and manageable and some will eventually lessen and fade with said treatment.

That said, for a long time I've felt like my art has been... not of my own enjoyment. It felt a lot like trying to fill a space I couldn't. Lately that's started to change, I've begun enjoying drawing again.

I'm also back on WoW - Wyrmrest Accord, horde side US (Ferain is my main, DH tonk, enjoy my edgelord)

...but yeah. That's why it's been so quiet on my end.

Things have changed, things will continue to change and all from now on, hopefully for the better.

Hello, I have some sad news to report;

My younger sister who has been suffering for months with speaking utter gibberish and seeing only gibberish which comes and goes (she can't read when it happens. It's not even actual words, it's like she is literally speaking tongues or some weird incantation in a language no one speaks or knows) had a seizure a week and a bit ago. I woke up to a strange noise and came in to find that she was stiff in her seat, foaming and banging her head on the wall. Since then we've been frantically rushing her to appointments to get images and stuff so they have a full picture of what is wrong with her health.

I haven't slept much and I spend a lot of time running in to see if she's alright. I've also been spending more time with her. She's confessed she sometimes wakes up with painful stomach muscles, as something I noticed as she was mid-seizure and in the post ictal state, was that her stomach muscles were constantly contracting rather than anything else. It's likely she's had seizures whilst asleep but we can't confirm it.

Obviously, I was frightened and I still am. I can't get the image of it out of my mind, and I hope that by getting in there when I did, holding her head to prevent the banging (but not restraining her motions, I put my hand between her head and the wall) and even so much as noticing it, that we can help whatever it is that happened. We still don't know, we're waiting.

As such my commissions have pretty much gotten shelved. I'm trying to make time to do some but it's a slow and extremely difficult process given what is going on, atop my own illnesses.

I can only apologise.

JIMMYJAMSTER1992 and constantie  - I'm aware you're on the waiting for sketches list and haven't sent me any money, so you're free to cancel your spot if you want to as I'm unsure if and when I will have time to dedicate to the work over the coming days. I can only extend my utmost gratitude for wanting a commission from me and my absolute apologies for what has happened and continues to take up my time.
