Let's breathe some life back into things.
One more annual level up is complete.
Glad you are still chipping away at it man
Well, worst views to see on the way down! (I am sorry and that was awful)
Still one of my favorite things I ever drew and I love it is of my kiddo's DnD character.
I don't know how long I'll be active or what will be drawn up I am live briefly.

Good morning folks! Just a touch shy for rent I need to clear today. Trying to get $60 to $100 if possible. Forgot about auto-pay pet food so a little behind at the last second.
After 4:30pm central if I have takers, I'll livestream $30-40 sketch or line art to do today. Message if interested.
(4) By the end of the year, I want nothing more than to clear my commission list. Is it a realistic goal? I don't know. I'm going to try. At worst, I hope to clear out a lot of it and go into the next year hopefully rebuilding a bit of trust in my ability to make and create art for folks on demand.
(3) Art side: I'm still doing my slow crawl through the commission list, with three getting my immediate attention. Following that, my goal is to dig into the big list and start knocking out some of the bulk work people were amazing to throw at me that have been sitting and waiting.
(2) out of the red. Or will start having to do so. I still have to play catch up from all the time off they forced me to take a few months that spiraled into late fees that compounded since.
The kiddo is rocking it over in Job Corp so fingers crossed, we'll see that be a success. Miss their laugh.
(1) So, update time! Things are progressing in a positive note.
Within the last month, I've had a raise, a mentor position promotion, and was offered a temporary team lead promotion last night. While the pay isn't exactly crazy, it is better than it has been for a long time. The needle is finally
Art Sale!
My friend Rif (rifthebit.bsky.social) is offering some discounted commissions.
6-7 slots, Cell shaded finish. You drop him a ref and a rough idea of what you want and he'll do the entire thing start to finish under general artistic freedom :)

July Update: Ok, so, here be where we are at.
Kiddo officially back in Job Corp, even already crushed through one of their certificates and caught up with the prior classes that started before them.
Eating somewhat consistently, should have art more regularly again. Energy levels balancing.
Yea it is... frustrating. Kiddo is now considering getting work so we can try and pool to their their passport sorted then they might travel over to Australia where their mother is at. Perhaps get work/find education over there since everything is such a shit show here.
Update Part 2: If they can get their old job back quickly or something else, we should be good and I can snap back into the routine before I was going the starving artist routine and running on fumes. Fingers crossed. We are going to do our best to not let this rob the kiddo of their future.
Update:
The plan to get more steadily into art is still the plan, but unfortunately, in less than a couple of weeks since getting in to Job Corp, the kiddo has to come home. Dickhead in chief shut down most of the contractor sites. They are going to try and hit the ground running to get work again.
Mel Uran has been such an important artist style and content wise for me as a growing artist and as a table top gamer. Right now she has a need for a surgery and could use help.

You are far from being the awful individual there. I think with thus area there is a certain level of... spoiledness that comes with this area. Sorry folks are shit. Unless they want to pay your rent, they need to just let you do your job.

New update. Monday was a repeat with some good news. Job Corp once more failed to tell the kiddo it was delayed. Good news, the manager above it all is now involved, has direct contact with Fern. The kiddo will be first on the list once the office gets re-opened.
Some great news. The whole job Corp pick may actually happen tomorrow. At least a second named party is involved for my kid, so fingers crossed, life is moving forward.
Thank you every single one of you that has endured the constant holds and delays because of this.

this is so real
(7) I am genuinely trying to straighten all of this out, but I just can't seem to find a foothold or room to breath before I am getting a boot crashing through my plans. Once this doctor role is filled and I can financially balance out food and the apartment, I will get this art queue a swift kick.
(6) frozen new arrivals. It is unclear when this is going to change. I am doing everything I can to do what extra work I can to keep us afloat, and I am going to be prioritizing some time sensitive commissions shortly to avoid any problems. I apologize for the continued sluggish nature of my work.
(5) reason why the delays keep happening. It turns out that the doctor they had on site, decided to leave their position suddenly. Their on site nurse can't step into his roles as then they would have no nurse. As a doctor physical is mandatory as a part of the onboarding for the site, they have
(4) Thankfully our need to travel is minimal and I work from home, but it means that due to the kiddo giving up their job on short notice and having to work with that is in walking distance, no extra work has been able to be found.
A couple of days ago we finally found out at least the recent
(3) month, going on about a month and a half or so. They finally started giving a heads up the last two weeks at least, but it means the apartment went from two income to one, food has gotten very thin, and to top it off, during all of this the brakes on the car we had been using went out.
(2) locked in. They had them quick their job, ready to leave on a set day with bags packed, needed initial food, and supplies and everything else. No call. No pick up showed up. Didn't get a call till the next day. They were rescheduled with no communication. This has been the circle for over a
