Em/Ave // she/her // 22 Hi, I'm Ave and this is my art blog! I mainly draw dragons, but I throw in some other critters occasionally. I do commissions! Check the "Commissions" page for more information. Any questions? Just hit me up.

Hello.

Is saying hello even appropriate at this point?

Uh, hi. I’m not back yet, I think. But I’m working on it. I’m sorry for the radio silence on literally every front but I’d be lying if I said I knew why it happened.

I just want you all to know what’s up in case that’s something you’re curious about. For those who are, read on. Those of you who aren’t, that’s alright. I’m glad to have you around anyway.

TL;DR I tell you what’s up but in like, ~700 words because I have no self-control.

does anyone have experience with taking commissions via kofi? is that even an option? ive been using paypal invoices but i might switch to kofi (or something else, i dont know what artists use nowadays) if possible. is there something you would recommend?

in other words, i will quit my job soon and i need an alternative source of income until i find a new one .-. so i might reopen commissions

An update.

Hey all. I'll try to keep this short.

1. I will be closing commissions indefinitely.

2. I have not managed to graduate in time. This has led to:

2.1. my mental health declining;

2.2. me having to get a full-time job.

3. I will probably take a break from art.

Basically, I’m pretty busy and will likely be less active in the future. I don’t know when I’ll start posting regularly again. It might happen in a week, it might happen in a few months, or in a year (when I will graduate, hopefully).

You will probably not see me much. I have been quiet on social media for quite a while, and I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon. I have read your comments, replies and messages—and I cannot express how much I appreciate your support.

Every single follow, kind comment and like are what’s kept me going so far. And I hope that’ll be the reason I come back when all of this is over.

Thank you. I’ll see you on the flip side.

Hey all. Just a quick update, and an apology.

I'm incredibly sorry for the slow progress regarding commissions, raffle prizes and other stuff. Long story short, my mental health has been getting worse. I don't wanna go into detail, but I'm struggling right now, and I don't have a lot of free time to try and sort it out.

What I'm trying to say is, please be patient during this time. I hate to leave my commissioners (and friends) waiting like this, but there really is no other option for now. Once again, I'm sorry, and I hope to get back to drawing asap.
