Current Commissions
Well, as many of you know, the events of the past few weeks have been crazy and commissions weren't getting done. Luckily my boss has been out of the office, so I've been getting some commissions done at work...SHHHHH! Whatever, everyone else is slacking, he's actually not given me any work to do at all...so not my fault, just keeping busy :/ I apologize for not posting stuff, but the past few people have all been color off purchasers, and I don't want to post up anything on DA until it's actually 'done'.Yes. Just counted, have OVER 100 individual inked drawings waiting to be uploaded that need coloring LOL!! So yeah.... that's why you haven't seen much from me, I'm holding back XD I guess color off vouchers were popular this round
Those of you who are waiting for your sketches to be done, I'm sure you've noticed your number on Trello going down. Please be patient, I'll get to you all soon
Contest Thingy
On another note, I'd like to ask you all a favor please!My cousin is probably the hardest working person I know, harder working than myself. She is a huge inspiration to me, the epitome of a hard working, independent woman. She's trying to win an award that I would think would help her out her career. It would mean a lot to me if you guys could vote for her here: www.facebook.com/HispCoalition…
You don't have to like the page, and you can provide a bogus e-mail. Her name is Natacha Carbajal, and you can vote once a day! Thanks so much!!!
My Website
So my website is slowly coming along. If you all remember the URL, you can check it out.
It's not all that hard to figure out. I'll let you know it has my username and it's a .com website. More than that, I can't tell you :I ...I just wont post it...I know DA is watching me >_>;;;
Currently only the size difference section is working because the plan is to essentially 'clone' each sub categories layout and just change the content. Colors are not final, except for the size difference site. You can technically see the other sites by clicking on them in the header.
I have all my free comics up on my size difference section, and only a very small portion of my image gallery up. Stories will be up soon. I also uploaded a calendar there which will show my work schedule, when commissions will be open, and any other events.
Let me know what you think!
Follow your dreams, k? ; ;
So on Tumblr, an artist named Moga posted this really sweet drawing about following your dreams. While she did post some unrealistic examples, her heart was in the right place. You can read it here:
artbymoga.tumblr.com/post/7890…
A lot of people on Tumblr started hating on her, but not because her examples were bad, but because they said that dreams are stupid to follow, and only rich and privileged people like her (which I don't even know if she is...) can achieve dreams. I set to prove that wrong, so I made this. It's my true life struggle, and how I became an artist: jitenshasw.tumblr.com/post/791…
If you have a tumblr and you like it, I hope you can reblog it Also, if you have a tumblr and follow me, note me your username if you want me to follow you back.
Other stuff...
Well, things have been getting a little easier with family around. We're still knee deep in this identity theft shit storm too. My birthday last week really helped me escape for a bit, it was great <3 Thanks again all of you for the birthday wishes Especially the cute Sailor Moon plushies sent me in the mail <3 Thanks so much, they were so cute ; w ;
In work related news, I'll be sitting down with the movie dude to discuss further steps. Don't know if he's gotten word back from investors or not. He said we might not start until the summer when he originally pitched me the idea, so I gotta be patient :I
Lots up updates!!
Firstly, I want to thank you all for all the warm well wishes, and birthday wishes as well. 💖 I'll save my personal updates for the end of the journal - for now, please enjoy these business-related updates! 🌸What to expect from Jit going forward...🌸 Finally, after late last year's layoff, my husband got a really good job here in Japan! Because of that, I want to organize my own business a bit more, as we're finally going to have a normal schedule for once. Since he worked for an American company before, we'd be up at all sorts of hours (I accompanied him of course). That means you will probably be seeing me around much more frequently! 🎉 Below will be some of the projects I'm working on or will be working on in the near future. 🌸Commissions🌸 As I mentioned in my previous journal, I am accepting $35/hourly rate commissions currently, with a minimum of 12 hours work per request (starting at $420). Because of that, most of my active customers are using me for projects, like short
Where I've been these past few months...
All of my journals pretty much start with apologies about radio silence, and this has been a big one. I'll give you the short and long version. tl;dr - I overworked - Got into a biking accident - Sergio's dad almost died (technically did die, several times), thankfully now stable - We had to emergency fly out to the US - loootsss of drama - Total disaster w/my parents (we don't have a good relationship) - commissions info I'm home now. Exhausted, but in a much better headspace. I got some info on how I'll be handling comms in the future, and that'll be towards the end, but for now, the long version (if you care to read drama). The long Version... October was nuts with work. Not only did I have my day job and commissions, but SizeCon [micro] was coming up November 10th and I had to give the entire virtual space a facelift, implement new features and so much more. If you're not aware of SizeCon [micro] here's a commercial we got explaining the concept - it's essentially a virtual

My slots are currently FULL!...they filled up in a few hours, so thank you for your support🙏Please keep an eye on this space, as I plan to open up more slots in the near future as I get closer to the bottom of the list - I'll make another posting to let you all know that I'm open again. I suspect it'll be about 3 weeks from now. ✨ CUSTOMER LIST ✨ (🎉FINISHED!!) Virmegator (🎉FINISHED!!) @ChampionOfTzeentch (🎉FINISHED!!)

\\ Commissions (FULL more slots soon)!!! //
Heyyyy~ You know some shits hit the fan when Jit is OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS!! Tl;dr my husband's whole office got laid off this Friday, and since he's the breadwinner, it not only complicates finances, but 10 million other things that we needed money for - like we need to fix some expensive paperwork for our visa, we've been trying to get pregnant, etc!! Thankfully we're okay at this moment, because we have been saving for all these things. I wouldn't have been worried otherwise, but the job loss came as a bit of a shock. Sergio has worked there for 7+ years, good relationship with his boss, great lead dev, always got his work done, etc. His company was all on board with him moving out to Japan and reassured him he could keep his job doing so. This arrangement only lasted a year apparently🙃 But I guess it can't be helped if they don't have money. It is what it is. I'm going to wrap up what I'm working on now for my Patreon, and I'll be putting it on hiatus after this month. Sergio

I'm glad you're getting the opportunity to get so much done! It's cool that you're going to be working on a movie (probably).
The site looks great so far! My only suggestion would be to change the front page image as well as the icons (for art and comics) for each individual category- it's a little strange with all 6 categories looking identical.
