Hey everyone, there's been plenty of things going on in my and Kuki's lives recently so we're sorry for keeping you in the dark, it's because we've been busy dealing with real life shenanigans more than usually so that left us with very little energy for online posting, hopefully you can see some more activity from us in the coming days.

TL;DR due to our failing health we need a couple extra days to wrap up the November animation, we're also taking a break in December because the situation with Pixiv Fanbox is looking confusing at this moment and we prefer to wait it out and save us some stress, thanks for your continued support and see you soon with more updates!

I'll try to keep it somewhat brief because I'm trying to cover for a couple things all going on recently.

First of all our health. We've spent the past month running from doctor to doctor and we're far away from being done, so we're just calling it a break in December because there's been too much stress and we need some space to recharge in order to not strain us even further. Kuki was dealing with diagnosing her migraine among other things and getting prescription drugs for it and I been dealing with my strained back that had began giving me more trouble recently. I am currently going through a process of signing up with a physiotherapy program on some experimental new techniques and I will be meeting with some physicians in December because I need some set of guidance advice that will help me specifically other than the yoga that I been already doing on my own.

Due to all this we're estimating that it will take us at least a couple more days to get the November animation art pack out to supporters, which brings us to another question of what we're doing with Fanbox moving forward. You may know already, there's been some updates to Pixiv Fanbox policies which leave us wondering whether or not they will affect us or not. It’s all still very muddy and confusing at the moment, so we decided that it's best to wait and see what happens after the 15th of December when the new set of rules is supposed to start being enforced. It is also why we will get the November art pack sent out your way before the new policies update for sure. For now Kuki will be disconnecting her PayPal from our Fanbox and we’ll see how it goes and whether we return to it in January, because by that time there will be plenty other artists to compare the situation with. If you're unsure yourself, we recommend moving over to our SubscribeStar page for the time being: https://subscribestar.adult/littleweirdoneko

I also wanted to take a second to thank all the absolute gigachad kings and queens that support their favorite artists in any way, shape or form, not only monetary support but even the simplest act of sharing, commenting and faving our creations is always deeply appreciated and I cannot thank you enough for your continued support, y'all are my lifeblood and without you we wouldn't be able to make it during these trying times among all the bullshit negatively affecting online art communities; for real thank you once again and see you soon with more goodies, we all gonna make it <3

Just a lil announcement, if you're in the States then in a month's time you'll have the rare occasion to grab some of mine and Kuki's prints at the Missouricon on booth 68-69!

Unfortunately we won't be there in person but at least out stuff will be there, so yes it's official Fox-approved prints, we profit from it and it's not someone ripping us off without our approval! Feel free to come by and grab something! 💖

Oh boi this has been a long time coming.

So here's the deal guys. Right now I will be going on a three-week long vacation, the first time I am taking such a long break since forever. I kinda feel like I've earned it. Also, the stars have aligned and during that time I will be hosting InfinityBeing who's flying out across half the globe just to hang out with me and Kuki and we've been planning to meet for years now, so that's pretty neat too. I will be going all around central Europe and generally be away from my work, so this is the reason why the current commission list has stopped at June and I refused to accept any more. I just knew that I was going to be away ^^;

Now, all of this leisure time and my birthday which also comes up in roughly three weeks, has got me thinking. This is a nice time to take a look back and reflect on the past and the future.

Cuz I must honestly admit, I've been feeling pretty... mentally, or "artistically" exhausted for the longest time now, this feeling has been lurking around the corner and slowly creeping up on me. I feel like this has taken a toll on my creative output, causing me some dissatisfaction with my own work, because I am feeling like I could simply do better, and I wanna do better. 

But I decided not to be a dumb fuck like I have been in the past, so instead of pushing myself even harder I am giving myself some room to breathe right now. I really really feel like I need to get back my creative spark and drive for art, but I couldn't focus on that because I've been keeping myself busy with commission work at all times, never allowing myself to rest and recharge my creative batteries properly.

Now I want to make this perfectly clear, I am not going on a hiatus. Buuuuut there will be some significant limitations to the upcoming commissions, at least for the time being. I am still occupied by the comic project I am doing with Starhoof and that's still going on in the background keeping me busy, so other than that... I won't be really doing too many commissions for the rest of 2019.

I might be dropping some singular commission slots here and there so please be on the lookout, but I feel like I wanna focus on YCH auctions for now. YCH-type commissions are less mentally draining because I get to choose the initial sketch and pose that I liked.

So there will be that! I hope this whole thing didn't come off as whining at my clients, because god knows I love you all guys for supporting me all over the years, and without you none of what I do would be possible. I am truly truly grateful for everything <3

But... every artist has their own limit, I've been working non-stop for years and I feel like I've finally hit my limit. Time to slow down for a bit and recharge, and that's going to be for the better.

from Fox, with love <3
