my absence and emergency comms due to housefire

hello, I'm writing this to explain my absence for the last few weeks and to announce my need for emergency commissions.

I've recently lost a lot to a wildfire in my country - my childhood home, which I was in the process of moving away from, almost all of my belongings and most devastatingly of all, the loss of my three beloved cats, Sangin, Lapis and Kobalt as well as other family pets and many neighbourhood cats that was taken care of by my family. for clarity, I am safe and have my fiancé with me, both my parents and I have a place to be housed as we try to mend our wounds and move on with our lives.

Due to both the emotional and financial distress I find myself in currently, I will have to focus on USD commissions, so there probably won't be too many personal art pieces for a bit and my communication might be on the slower end. if you're interested in commissioning me, you may do so via artistree or buymeacoffee, but feel free to reach out via here or discord. i'd be ever grateful for it in my time in need, although commissions might take me a little extra time to complete but it won't get to be too long, I promise that much.

so, thank you, again, for visiting me and enjoying my art, I hope to recover and return to my craft with all my passion whenever it's possible for me to do so.

here an old drawing of Sangin in his little beesuit, in memorial, I will forever miss him and cherish his memory:
