Hello?!

1 min read
Howdy!

I'm not sure what to write here other than how I'm currently doing, I guess? :shrug:
I'm doing great recently!
My doctor put me on some anxiety medication so I've been feeling a lot better!
In other news, I really want some cheese.
Smoked cheddar or gouda, please? :hmm: (THAT RHYMED)

:peace:

Hello all!

Just wanted to make a quick update, I honestly have been feeling a little better lately, so that's a good thing! I am also seeing that my work has been getting more and more feedback, and that makes me so so happy. :w00t: 
I have been trying to be more active on here and I think that is seriously helping me both mentally and physically. I am drawing more because of me wanting to become more active, which in turn is bringing my stress levels down and also helping with my depression and anxiety. It is taking my mind off of things! :D

I am currently working on a digital piece that I hope you guys will enjoy, I am working super-duper hard on it!! Although it is taking a little longer than I had expected, I promise it will be well worth the wait. Stay patient my guys!

As always, I am so happy to have all of the love and support come from all of you reading this, along with the ongoing support from the dA community. I am truly blessed. 

SO, on that note, I will be going now, but seriously, thanks for all the support. You all do not understand how much it really means to me. :heart:

:peace:

Conflictions...

I mean, hey, who would bother to read this anyways? :shrug:

WELL, hello. Many of you know how I struggle to stay active on DA. Unfortunately, that's been a struggle of mine for a really long time, but especially recently. I wanted to write this for you guys that DO read this, I have been struggling a lot lately with my depression and anxiety. I am not really going to dive too deep into that right now because trust me, it is a lot. Basically, my life hasn't been the same. I haven't really been active on here as much as I should, and I haven't been doing artsy things for a while, which really is a shame, because it is something I always loved to do. It was my "escape" from the world. Unfortunately now, I have lost the time and motivation to do much of anything anymore. So for that, I deeply apologize. I really want to do commissions, and I do not want to lose contact with my DA buddies. I want to be more involved, but I ask of you guys to have some patience. Please be patient with me, I am trying. As hard as I can.

No matter what happens, I conflict myself with these same questions, every time I draw or have an artsy idea:
Maybe I shouldn't draw dragons or Pokemon anymore...
Maybe I should grow up and mature as an artist, and draw things like cars and realistic things like animals, portraits, scenery, and other things.
Maybe I need to let the "childish" version of myself go.

Unfortunately most of the things I love/loved to draw, happened to be folklore-ish things. Pokemon... Dragons... Unrealistic things... Maybe that is the exact reason I am not as active on here or draw as often. But I feel as though I shouldn't do those things anymore because of what real people in my life will think. I know it sounds stupid, but I have based how I view myself on what others think of me my whole life. So to think of what other people might think or say to me, makes me feel upset.

Basically, what I'm trying to get out of this journal entry is this;
I am trying really, really hard. I have a lot going on in my life right now, so I ask that you guys understand. I don't want others to think of me stupid whenever I draw what I want to draw. It's sad, but I feel like I cannot be myself around everyone, and I want to so bad. Please be patient with me, for I am trying. I promise to be more active soon, as soon as I collect all my thoughts and get my life under control.

And if anyone has any thoughts or opinions they would like to share, I am here to listen.

In the meantime, I really, really appreciate you guys' patience and understanding.

:peace:

Hello everybody! I hope you all are doing well!

It's been a while since I've actually been pretty active on here. And for that, I apologize...

HOWEVER

I have matured both as a person and an artist within the past 7 years, and because of that, I feel I am ready to start...

:bulletred: INFO/RULES :bulletred:

:bulletred: You may NOT claim my artwork. You pay me to do an art commission for you, so it's for your personal use. You are not paying to own the rights to my artwork.
:bulletred: If you must repost or edit my artwork, you may not get rid of my signature/watermark on my art, and you must give me credit in the description.
:bulletred: You must pay me BEFORE I start the commission. (I take points and PayPal) You pay for your coffee at a coffee shop before you get your coffee, so why wouldn't you pay the artist before starting a commission?
:bulletred: Like I said before, and I cannot stress enough, you may NOT claim rights to ANY OF MY ARTWORK OF ANY KIND. Please give me credit or I will cry... :cries:
:bulletred: If you are unsatisfied with the final piece, I will either re-draw it for free, or give you your points back.
:bulletred: If I have already started your commission and you don't want it anymore, I keep half of the points.
:bulletred: If I have not started the commission yet and you don't want it done anymore, you get a full refund.
:bulletred: Payment shall be made in the "Commissions" widget on my page.
:bulletred: If you fail to abide by my rules, be prepared to suffer the consequences. (Worst case scenario is a BAN.)
:bulletred: I also take tips via my donation pool (only if you feel I am deserving, of course ;)), but please, my donation pool is for tips only. Please do not pay for my commissions through the donation pool. If you wish to pay for your commission, do so on the "Commissions" widget on my page. :bulletred:

If commissioning goes well for me, I may or may not up my prices in the future. Right now my prices are quite low because I'm trying to get myself out there, to get more popular. Only then is when I will up my prices. I aim to please, money/points mean nothing to me as long as you guys are happy. :hug:

:happybounce: I think that's all you guys need to know! :happybounce:

:kiss: :love: :hug: ;) Any other questions/comments/concerns? Feel free to send me a note, I will reply ASAP! ;) :hug: :love: :kiss:

Hi again~

1 min read
I haven't been on here in a while (again) so dontkillmeplease. I reallyreally want to upload more stuff, but I haven't had a damn computer. I look back at my previous artworks, and, they kinda suck. I'm not gonna lie. I'm on here from my phone right now, so I can't do as much at the moment... Once I get on my computer, I can upload my latest stuff. I've improved alot, guys. I have missed you all soo much, too. :c
WHICH IS WHY, I'm gonna try as hard as I can to stay on top of my art.
Love you all! <3
-Xoxo, Cassidy-
