oh! wrong channel again i'm so sorry! this was meant to go into art channel

End of dec update:

work/commissions-
took a few days break for christmas/multi-day migraine pain but back to work today! still working on ko-fi comms current batch, about 50% done with em. I have non-sticker slots still available that weren't claimed this round and those are still up for grabs. but more stickers won't open until i'm finished with the ones i currently have

dakis-
for folks who bought dakis last drop, I'm still waiting on the shipment. Due to having to choose freight shipping (because it would be horrendously expensive otherwise) this is still taking a bit. This was very much a learning experience in dealing with the tariff price hike and i do apologize for the sub optimal handling of such on my end. I am working to make sure this dosen't become a repeat issue in the future

kickstarter-
kickstarter is going along as planned currently. Pins and plushes are in production, stickers will be in production soon. Theres not a ton to say here currently because not much has changed since last update but I just figured I'd let people know anyway! unfortunately but expectedly, none of the extra colors were funded via backerkit however I still plan on releasing them in the future assuming there is sitll interest and the current floppies do good

cons-
I will be at PDFC next week helping Bossmonsta in the DD
FC helping BoldKobold in the DD
LVFC helping Boldkobold
FWA i will be attending however it's up in the air who/if i will be helping anyone vend

I hope to eventually nab my own table again however the way this year has gone i haven't been able to afford much restock of my personal stuff, so i've just been working for other folks instead for the time being

Happy new year yall!

As a reminder, im out of town helping Bossmonsta vend at PDFC this weekend so Kofi comms are on pause till I get back on Monday!

Helping out bossmonsta at pdfc this weekend, come say hi! (I can probably do doodles too just ask!)

For people @ con!

For people not at con:
if anyone wants one, reply with a SFW ref and I'll toss you a pp link when im able to get to it!

(A picture will be provided upon completion, a scan will be provided when im home)

Good morning!
Day 2 of pdfc come grab a little buddy if youre here!

Im also still doing doodle comms! If you replied in the chat uesterday and didnt hear from me, def poke me again (I probably wasnt sure if you wanted one aha!)

Thanks for the lovely weekend yall!

Today is a big travel day so Ill be returning to work likely tomorrow and working on Kofi commissions!

If you poked me about a doodle yesterday or Friday I still gotchu! Just had a bit of a slow day due to a migraine so replies were a bit scarce aha

See yall at FC in a week or so! Otherwise ill be gently truckin along on the queue!

hey all, sliiight delay on things

despite having the most socially uneventful and calmest con experience in a loooong time, i somehow managed to get crud. Thankfully am up to date on my covid/flu/etc vaxxes so i'm praying for a relatively fast recoup period but....if i'm a little hard to reach for a few days this is why lmao

I'm gonna work when i can but sleepy brain fog dog is sleepy brain fog

More than slight.. dragged myself to urgent care today because I feel.like things have tanked the past 24 hrs


Tests pending but My throat looks like a cartoon diagram of strep apparently so the Dr essentially is going to treat it like that even if it comes back negative

Bear with me a few more days tho, im so.sorry yall xX

The dakis have finally landed! I will be shipping them next week, if you ordered one during the pre order and have since changed addresses let me know your invoice no. And email and i will remedy this ASAP!

Work resuming later today!

I had a sandwich of con(pdfc)>con crud > con (fc) where, while I recovered enough not to be a health hazard for folks, I never fully gave myself time to recover which ive been sort of paying for fatigue wise these past few days

But I feel at least 70% which feels enough to get back to things (and even if it wasn't ive lost enough work time that I cant really afford to lose more lmao)

Expect more updates soon albeit a bit slowly until im close to fully better aha!

It's ART SCHOOL tonight! We are going to learn how to draw an artist's worst fear... HANDS. Then it's ART for DONATIONS!! Donate $15 or more to Shep's Ko-fi and I'll draw you a lil something!! Any donation is helpful, though! Type !donate in the chat for more info! LET'S GOOOOOO.

Since I've finished all stickers on my current kofi queue- i am opening more for this upcoming month!

please note that I'm still working on other non-sticker kofi commissions which will currently take priority, so ETA is still a little longer than usual at this time

As always:
>any amount of stickers is fine, just be sure to add it on to the price ( $+30 per extra sticker etc..)
>Artlib is fine but will be a +10% upcharge on 3 or more stickers needing it
>nsfw is fine for folks above 18


any other commission types on kofi are fair game if there are open slots too, same ETA transparency applies though

I will likely be retiring loafs and rounds within the next month or two for a bit so grab em while you can if you want one!

I have been on and off nervous/anxious about this. I don't have extremely high confidence I'll be able to make much of a dent in my debt even through this, but I am trying to stay positive and give it a go!

The long and short of it, is that my day job has become mentally taxing the last few years and I have wanted to make an attempt to get back into the convention scene since leaving back in 2017 or 2018. I have a lineup of merchandise I would like to start working on and try getting made by next year so I can become self-sufficient in my art. Possibly open up an online shop? I am interested in trying, at the very least!

But I can't in good faith start investing in this when I have a good amount of debt I need to get rid of first. The debt is not HORRENDOUS but it's enough to put a damper on things. So I'd like to make an effort to buckle down and get rid of a good chunk of it so I don't have it lingering over my shoulder as I start this next adventure!

I don't feel comfortable listing my debt in actual monetary amounts, but I did split it into 3 parts! Goal 3 would completely eliminate all of my debt, but I'm really focused on getting it to just Goal 2! Donations are welcome, but my main goal with this is to WORK to pay off the debt! So I have a buncha things lined up I'll be working on ASAP!

Ko-Fi coms are OPEN NOW. I'm having a clear-out sale as I want to get rid of a buncha options that have grown old and were no longer popular. They have been reduced significantly in price!! I will be working on this throughout March!! I highly encourage you to give them a peek!! If you have resistance to using Ko-fi for whatever reason, feel free to DM me and we can figure something out. But please only do this if you are HARD FAST against using Ko-fi. The site just makes my life tremendously easier!

Throughout March and especially in April I'll be posting up a good bit of YCHs surrounding a lot of things, many of them NSFW, which is something I rarely do but would like to dabble in. These will explore themes of: Vore, BDSM, and Transformation. I'll have SFW stuff too in there as well! I will be posting these on my FurAffinity account. So keep an eye out!

I also reopened my Throne for the heck of it. I put a couple things on there I have needed to purchase but kept putting off out of spending guilt LMAO So if you don't want any art but want to try to support me in some way, you can consider that!

Thank you for lookin'!! Please consider sharing if you can't spend anything! Times are tough right now and boy do I get it!! Any little bit helps c: I look forward to getting some stuff done!!
