20 years ago and still…

Sometimes you have to take a step back and really appreciate the weird and beautiful things that happen so casually in furry spaces.

Please don't take this the wrong way, since I just posted my commission info, but I've been trying to get away from commission work for a while now. It's still my main source of income, and I still enjoy the actual 3D work, but it's becoming less and less sustainable.

I have so many ideas on my to-do list that I've been trying to do:

• I'd like to make more premade VR avatars that can be sold and customized much more affordably.
• I'd like to finally start working on a visual novel idea about dragons that I've had in my head for years.
• I'd like to put more effort into organizing events and building communities, because I think it's more important now than ever.
• I'd like to make more personal art again, just for fun and as gifts for friends, as I used to do years ago.

The problem is, with relentlessly increasing monthly expenses ever since... I don't even know when this whole mess gestures at the world started, if I didn't put 110% of my creative energy into getting those commissions done, I simply wouldn't have survived.

Last week, two big projects in my queue got cancelled because more important expenses came up, which I totally understand. Stuff happens. But it's left me in a precarious situation this month and honestly I'd be even more anxious if I weren't so exhausted right now.

As I said, if you'd like a custom VR avatar, I'd still be more than happy to work with you! But beyond that, if you like the things I do and would like to see me do more, I could really use some support via Ko-fi or Patreon right now, so maybe I can get out of this endless burnout cycle.

I can't offer any big rewards in my current situation, but I post weekly updates every Monday on both Ko-fi and Patreon, with all the stuff stuff I've been up to, like 3D art, fursuiting, and outdoor adventures, and there's usually some extra content for supporters that I don't post publicly. I'd like to do so much more, but I don't know how unless I get a little break somehow.

Help pls
