Most of my galleries aren't that synched up yet. It is just going through the archives to see what pics still need to be brought over and released properly. A lot of pics were only on SubStar as very quiet exclusives, so the pics that I've been posting now are just free to the public, even through people over there saw them first.

I'm STILL cleaning up the Patreon stuff, and if anyone has any real feedback on which platform is actually better for nsfw artists, Subscribe Star or Patreon, please let me know. I still feel like Patreon keeps doing shit to stop porn and I've seen some people want to label Subscribe Star as a Russian spy tool. SubStar just doesn't care, but worst of it, getting paid by them is a real pain. If I had to give up that gallery, I don't know if I would make the switch. I'd just make all the porn public at this point. I'm just really bad at doing new art to keep people subscribed. Again, I'll say that it's basically a 5$ tip jar for really well done porn, and I don't have people STARVING to see more of my content, I'm just happy they still throw money at me.

That being said, some things I look at and go, "this could've been better", and I'll make em public over time.

If you hadn't looked yet, I'm reposting on Bluesky as well

And YEAH, Commissions are Open! Please DM if interested> https://annie-mae.newgrounds.com/news/post/1330445

OK, so we're rounding out a year in which I hadn't really had much to say or I've been too busy to bring up my life stuff.

I will be honest, I'm mostly begging for commissions again. Commissions are never closed but I wasn't taken any for a while there, and no one was asking. I haven't taken any just to avoid throwing more responsibilities into me than I'm ready to take but let me say I'm ready for some. I took a few commissions this year, and most of them were private, so I couldn't really share them.I can't offer any sales, my work is already low priced.

I MIGHT do a 10$ IDGF "I don't give a fuc" commission offer sometime this week, which means you give me 10$ and you get what ever you wanted but I just half ass it. Black and white sketchy only sort of dumb shit. Now of course, I still have to put the normal rules onto it, like nothing that could get me in trouble, but it would be an anything goes so long as it's funny.

I'm just gonna be real, I need money to buy more shit. If you can't afford living or you got bills, keep your money. Make sure you're safe and well fed. This is for those furries who have too much extra cash and want to see their furries drawn. And yeah, I'm drawing a lot of humans, but please understand, I still do toony cute characters and furries. Part of all that is to improve my anatomy and practice. I feel like I do get better at these things the more I draw them.

Twice this last week I had people ask me why I wasn't more popular because my art is so good. I really don't know, other than I do keep to myself a lot more now. I think anyone here has read me talk about it before, and I will say most of my issues come from just not networking better. Friendships are still hard for me to rationalize as real mostly because I've had to accept that people come and go. I'm just gonna be here, I'll try and branch out, but it's better to just do what I can.

Going forward into the new year? Maybe I can actually commit to finishing a story for once. Hopefully it's just gonna be catching up on all the WIPs I started and I need to finish. Most of this year has been spent trying to find better galleries to be apart of and rebuild over and over again. Substar I have to just give you guys simple things again, because you guys are paying for it, and I hope they don't bill you for "nothing". Itaku still is my back up, that place is very hard to engage with, but it's a great alternative over FA. And FA is STILL my best platform. You guys are still sticking by here, I appreciate that. Newgrounds, I don't know, it's the same complaint. If it doesn't have boobs, no one cares. My fault is that it's hard for me to engage with other artists. I must be intimidated. I'll try and be better.

Anyway, how you guys doing?

It's been too long since I've made a formal journal, and I'm mostly here to explain a lack of art or a complete break down away from communities.

From Jan through Feb, there was a rut that I had gone through. Make a comic for this local paper, make a new art for Fridays or the weekend, get something done for SubStar, and get a few commissions done. Honestly I don't have a problem getting the art done that I was able to get done, but my body has been telling me otherwise.

My hand physically hurt, and no amount of repositioning, stretching, or getting better sitting arrangements could fix it. It takes NOT drawing to fix the pain I was experiencing, and it can quickly go back to be impossible to draw. While I have MANY pics that I want to finish, I look at them and feel uninspired to do so. There's something that needs to be tweeked or better yet thrown out all together. My mood tells me it's not the best time to draw what I should or what I sketched out.

There is a technique in the art community is to be happy with non perfectionism, but with the comics that I post to the Newspaper every week, that's been what I've been doing. I spend a day or two talking with people who want THEIR idea and then I sketch it up as quickly and as lazily as possible. The effort I give them might not always be worth what I'm given at the end of the week, and it's likely what's caused a lot of stress. Back and forth editing issues and concepts I can't comprehend. It's great to have this job, but then I can tell I'm already burnt out about it, and that's really sad.

My body equally feels like it's falling apart, and I get mood swings into depression and lethargy. I have another little job, that I do enjoy very much, just a small retail job. I'm still doing fine in that, but when the weather is so rainy, people aren't out shopping. Failing businesses around my area make me sad. I want to be able to go around and shop and be entertained, but I'm not making enough money to help the places I love. I love the rain too, so I don't want to dismiss it, but I'm honestly surprised how I've wanted to stay inside more and have a more lethargic feeling because of it.

My diet sucks as well. Chocolates and breads are so easy to get a hold of, and you're dealing with a shut in life style, it makes everything worse. I often feel like I can bring myself out of it, but it doesn't last and there's a hormonal change that shoots me right back into not wanting to care or bother to keep myself from being tired. There could be things that happen with getting older that makes this harder to manage.

I'm sorry if March has NOTHING to show for it's self. I'm sorry I can't keep promises. I can't even sit without something hurting, I can't stand without something hurting, I'm not sleeping well without something keeping me awake, and even eating hurts. It hurts to draw and I don't have the attention span to even focus on a drawing for more than 30 seconds. Maybe everyone else is dealing with this now and I'm completely not unique. Some people are having a pretty good time right now, and others are having it worse. All I can do is stay outta it and avoid getting other people's hopes up.

All I have is gaming right now. I enjoy playing video games. Splatoon may not be the best way to be spending my time, but I need something to help me feel happy. Also tinkering with virtual pets has helped. It's been expensive but I like being able to take care of these little guys. I got a real IRL DOG too, he keeps me busy with exercising the best I can.

I'll have a dr.s visit soon enough to look at me and tell me I'm fat and I need to stop being fat like they always do. Suggest a therapist who I talk to but they absolutely just make me feel more self conscious than I want.

I don't even know if people have really "missed" my art or noticed I've even been MIA, but now ya know. I'll post when I can post. Thanks for reading.

All PayPal fees will be calculated after final total. I can accept other methods of payment if necessary (Skrill and CashApp are options).

Lineart - $30

You pick between either pencil lineart or a black solid lineart. It depends on what style you'd prefer as either style is clear and readable.

Flat Colors - $40

Bring your lineart to life with simple flat coloring and an obtuse background.

Shaded Colors - $60

Add depth and tone to your drawing, will be on a simple flat colored Background.

Full Coloring -$75

When your pic needs to be print ready and able to be used for many other platforms, I love making pics that have great layers of color and crisp lineart. You can request any sort of background or setting for the character to be in.This is the next stage after the Shaded Colors.

Additional figures will be 15$ each.

Add-ons and Variations will 15$ each. - If the image requires more then one PNG file to be submitted, that will cost 15$ for each file.

Large Projects

I get often pretty big projects, where commissioners want multiple drawings and stories of their characters. I want to work with you to draw what ever you had envisioned, but these things take time. I work slowly and take my time, as well as life getting in the way. These projects such as Comics and Telegram Stickers also add up to over $100. I ask that you be up front about everything you need from the comic and be patient. Thank you, I would love to work with you.

All 18+ themed Art

Pretty much you'll get the same top quality as the other levels of coloring for clean artwork, just because they are NSFW pics, they are just more expensive.

Lineart - $45 // Flat Colors - $55 // Shaded Colors - $75 // Full Coloring -$90

Extreme Fetish (depending on Fetish)

Acceptable Fetishes: Bondage, humiliation, sub/dom play, gore, violence, stimming, pegging, electro play, and anything you might've already seen me draw in my gallery.

I DO NOT like drawing Incest, diapers, child (shota, loli, cub), birthing or unbirthing, foot, and inflation (maybe more I can’t think about now). You can ask me if I’ll draw it but minimum price starts at 150$ and will go up.

To commit to a commission send me a Notes, PMs, DMs, or what ever contact you have with me.

I will NOT accept commissions from lurkers or brand new followers. I will look through your profile page.

Rules:

Digital pictures will be paid in full BEFORE picture will be started. Ask about partial payment let me know before hand. PayPal invoice is preferred but we can discuss other payment options (real money only).

Due to past instances where people use the lower priced commissions as partial payments for a full colored pic, that is not allowed anymore. You will get charged in full for every new commission order, EVEN if it's of the same image. If you cannot afford to pay in full, be honest about it. I've had people ask for a sketch to have it end up turning into a full priced commission.

I do not get commissions often, so I want to treat them like a nice project I can take my time on. Due to work and life, I will be honest, I have a tendency to drag out a commission waiting period. I do not want to take longer then 3 months on a piece, but if I do, I allow you to crack the whip at me. I'll do my best to keep you in touch. If you need it rushed, I can indeed rush the image but let me know ahead of time.

Please commission me because you like my style. If you're asking me to replicate an image to be on model to someone else's style, that's not something I'm comfortable doing. I like to experiment, but I would hope you'd like to see your character done the way I would do it, and not the way someone else would.

Ko-Fi donation // SubscribeStar

I really like that I can make a journal post with links and images in it rather then post a separate art submission. Makes it so much easier to give you guys updates.

The Hit and Run stickers from Sticker Ninja finally arrived and are up for sale on Ko-Fi now. They have a vaporwave shimmer effect on them and are about 4x3.5 inches big. BUY HERE < It might be a bit much, but these stickers are very good quality. Thank you for understanding.

Yes, I'm posting on Tumblr again for anyone who still follows that place. I rather like making long form journals.

It's been rough getting old. I get worried more often about loosing foundations and people close to me that I still rely on. I don't have a good ability to maintain connections and friendships. Twitter falling apart is really funny, but it was the place where I got the most feedback despite not producing my best work. I think at this stage it deserved to fall apart. It wasn't a great website, and we all knew it wasn't good enough to support.

Other things I worry about is my body weight and pain. I still fall back onto playing games and being sedentary. I get out to walk and move around but I get bored about it and I get anxious for stupid reasons. People looking at me or that I should be doing something else. Drawing is my job, and with my wrists and joints hurting a lot, it's become harder to draw consistently. It's what I'm good at and what I need to do to stay relevant. It's very much like Kiki's Delivery Service where if I loose this ability, or even other parts of my health, I loose a lot more then just income.

I'm not sure what I can give back to the community or people who enjoy my work without killing myself over it. I can't stop being a perfectionist, and I'm just sorry I can't fullfill the things I want to do and give people. I put a lot of work out there to get attention and feedback, but it's never going to attract the people who are willing to help me get farther.

And it's unfair to even say such things, because I have gotten love and attention from people. I just fail to give back what I get. Still, I thank the people who want to give me those good feelings and likes. You are good in your own right, and you have your own issues to deal with in your life. What I do and what I complain about shouldn't stress you out.

On Wednesday, it'll be my 37th birthday. I don't really have any plans and it seems like anyone who I could spend the day with is gone or busy cause it's the middle of the week. I haven't really felt like being friendly either, and if anything if I could get a chance to spend the day by myself doing things away from people that'd be nice. But it does feel like there's not gonna be a celebration this year.

IF you so feel inclined to be nice to me, there's always a ko-fi donation. I would LOVE to send you some stickers and things I'm selling. So buy yourself an item from the shop. That supports me and gives yourself something funny in the process. Thank you guys.

Social media? Yeah most likely Tumblr. I'm used to it. I'll see what most other people ending up using later, but I honestly hate setting up new accounts all over the place. I have a Co-Host and a Mastodon, but I gotta get in the head space to actually use them effectively. I should get Postybird or something to help manage that.
