Ain't nobody got time for that! 
...no really I do have bronchitis
I've actually had a bad cough for about a month now and family and coworkers finally convinced me to go to the doctor. I went Saturday and she said its bronchitis and gave me an antibiotic and an inhaler, which I have never used before so that was a new experience. But I think the inhaler is finally helping, I've been literally coughing myself hoarse and it's keeping me awake at night and trust me, it's no fun working 9 hour days on only 3 hours of sleep each night 
But yeah, hopefully it's going away soon.
And thank you to all for the birthday wishes and gifts
I've just been very slow in replying to stuff 
Art wise, I'm still a little... Meh. Have no motivation or too tired. And having some bad family issues right now isn't helping :C But I have been slowly writing a little bit at a time on all my fics, and one night a couple weeks ago I made myself open Gimp for the first time in months to work on coloring some sketches for a future sketch dump. And today I sketched (attempted to anyway) Jake Clawson from SWAT Kats because I was feeling nostalgic after finding some fan art on dA of those awesome Kats. So I'm trying a little, lol.
Hope everyone here has been ok, and sorry for the lack of replies. I'm not ignoring you I promise.

Life Update
Hello, everyone! It's been ages since I was active here on dA, so thought I'd give you a little update. To tell the truth... I am not well. My Grandma and Grandpa passed away in February and June, and I still haven't fully recovered from my other grandma, who I called Nana and was so close to, passing in 2019. I'm struggling so hard with grief. It's made my already poor mental and emotional health worse than it already was. That combined with other issues just... I don't know. I'm not functioning anymore. I haven't drawn hardly any this year. I think I've literally made like 5 sketches. I did discover a new hobby, crocheting, so that's filled up a good chunk of my time. I miss drawing, but I'm severely out of practice. And most days, I just don't want to. I don't want to do anything. Or well, that's not entirely true. I think it's more like I WANT to do things, but I can't. I literally sit there going, "Get up you lazy dummy and do something," but then I go "Why bother?" or just feel
Mermay Commission Announcement
Hi, everyone. I've been very nervous to post this, but I feel like an explanation is needed, so please bear with me. To be completely honest, I am struggling. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. Without going into detail, this is just about the lowest I have ever been due to several things happening in my life. I am burned out and barely functioning. It's been building and building for the last several years, and I'm finally just about at the end of my limit. A friend described it perfectly as having a house sitting on me and I can't move. I feel paralyzed. I offered Mermay commissions for the month of May with the hopes that it would make me productive again and help me earn some money. But what happened instead is that I would sit down to work on them, and it's like I've forgotten how to draw. There's a disconnect between my brain and drawing hand. It feels weird to even hold a pencil anymore because of how little I've drawn this year. And I want your commissions to turn out
2023 Mermay Commissions Open!
Since a few people have expressed interest, I'm going to do Mermay commissions again this year! I'm sorry, I am slightly increasing the prices. But they are still cheaper than my regular commissions. This is a special limited time offer commission type for the month of May! I'll turn your oc into a mermaid for $30! They will have simple backgrounds like the examples shown below (a simple ocean background with bubbles), sketchy lines, and simple shading. Additional characters are $15 extra. If you would like two or more characters but as separate images, I will also do the additional characters for $15 each. Basically buy one, get one half off 😁 Also, you get to choose the type of mer-creature you want! I think I can do pretty much any sort of sea creature, sharks and dolphins included, even octopuses or squids. You can customize your oc with any type of clothing you want. I'll even add props or weapons if you would like as long as it's not too complicated. Also they don't have to
Twitch Streaming
Wanted to ask y'all's opinion on this and see if I can get some suggestions because I'm stumped. So I've been wanting to start streaming on Twitch pretty regularly. I think if I could pick a day and time every week and do it consistently, maybe that would help get more views and followers. However, there's a few reasons why I can't really do this. One, my job. I'm technically an independent contractor and make my own hours, but I never know from day to day what I'll be working because some days are busier than others. Mondays seem to be the slowest though, so that might be an option. Two, I live at home with family. Which isn't a huge problem I guess because I don't necessarily HAVE to use a mic, but I would love to do so more often because it seems like those kind of streams where I can talk out loud are more engaging and fun. Even if I do embarrass myself a lot :XD: But the reason why I don't use a mic when family is home is because there are four of us total living here, and it
