Hello friends.


It's been a minute since I posted anything here, let alone a journal. A lot has happened and I haven't been very good at keeping anyone posted with the going-on's of my life.

So here's a rather large update:


I have a chronic illness. It wasn't something I was aware of until after a (very eventful) blood draw, but sure enough, it was there. Hypothyroidism. It could be a lot worse (and I'm sure it will get worse as I age) but for now, I'm going to work towards keeping it in check. There have been some lifestyle changes I've had to make. It's a little scary. But the best thing I can do for myself is to keep moving forward.


I've come to accept my past of abuse. TW: skip to the next paragraph if you don't want to read through this part. The long short of it is that my father is a monster. At his hand, my mother and siblings (and myself) have experienced manipulation of the highest degree.

For years. We've been controlled, used against one another, and made to believe that speaking out against the abuse makes us dangerous/abusive people. Some of us have even been physically injured and/or our property damaged. All in all, it's a shitty situation and a toxic household. The only reason it has persisted for so long is because of where we live - divorce would mean losing the house, the land, and most (if not all) of the animals who have lived here comfortably for over ten years. But the time has come for change and we are finally working toward escape.


That being said, the move means we are losing just about everything. Our beloved chickens have been rehomed, the miniature horses are up for sale, and we are trying to figure out the best option for the barn kitties and pair of geese (who I love with my whole heart). Boarding Val and Simba is going to be very expensive, especially because of Simba's age and special needs - he doesn't have many teeth left and therefor only eats a grain/alfalfa mix three times a day. I have come to the understanding that the move may stress him out beyond help and that he will probably pass away this winter. It's terribly sad to think about.

I'm prepared to be with him until the end. It what he deserves.


Losing Val is not an option and I am willing to drop out of school in order to afford her. Luckily, this is not yet necessary.


I begin my senior year at MIAD on August 31st. Taking an overload and working additional jobs to help my mother cover expenses is going to be tough but I believe that with your help, it can be possible. With your support, I've grown into a confident artist here on DA. And while the update has made this once familiar site feel foreign, the memories made here will always remain. I'm not saying that I'm leaving DA but am instead going to be much less active than before.


I've started my own Discord server. There, you'll be able to stay up-to-date on all my art (and some of my life-related) happenings. I plan to offer exclusive offers, too! The ultimate goal of the server is to grow a little art community.


You are more than welcome to join, please click below for access to the server!

Commission news:

I'm slowly chipping away at my waiting list and will contact you when a space becomes available. Thank you so much for your patience at this time! I'm going to be closing the waiting list here on DA soon and will open a new one (on the discord server, most likely) in the near future.


And with that, my update comes to a close. I want to personally thank you for reading this far and for your continued support. It really means the world to me and I am forever grateful!

Please take care!

Artistic-Pineapple Commission Inforomation  


Currently CLOSED



Please visit my Terms of Service before ordering!


Hello!
The summer is ending and I'm gearing up for school yet again!
So for the foreseeable future, I'll only be taking three commission slots. I'm going to continue to try to get these commissions done in a timely manner, but please know that they may take a bit longer! 

This means my waitlist will remain open, but that I may not be able to take as many commissions weekly. This also means that I may take a week or two off here and there to make sure my school work is getting top priority (because your girl is trying to be valedictorian for no serious reason). I'm also working on a Patreon, Discord channel, and Youtube channel that will hopefully be up and running soon! 

---
 
You can claim your slot in the comments below!
They'll fill first-come-first-serve, but you can also add yourself to the waitlist in the comments :D
Once you've been added to my slot list, you'll have a week to send a note my way detailing your commission order!

Hey everybody! 
I figured a little journal/update was in order since I'll be a bit absent for the next week.

2019 Raleigh by Artistic-Pineapple

Some big news: I'm attending the Unreal Academy event in Raleigh, NC, this weekend! It's bound to be a very humbling experience, as I have very little experience in Unreal Engine currently. Aside from being a stepping stone toward my senior thesis, I'm expecting the training event to open my eyes and inspire me further in my artistic journey. Instead of flying, we'll be road tripping! Bonus!
That being said, I'll probably be a bit absent for the next week. I'm planning to document some of the adventure on an Instagram story highlight, so feel free to check it out at @/artistic_pineapple_!

Once I return, my commissions will probably reopen. Be sure to keep an eye out because slots are going to be pretty limited as I work toward finishing my children's book. I can't share any details about it yet, but the project should be ready for a Kickstarter come late August!

ALSO! A very wonderful person is holding an Art Raffle here on DA. SaintPumpkinMuffin is full of wit, sweetness, and is truly a special member of the community. Their extremely generous FREE ART RAFFLE is open for only two more weeks. Be sure to check it out if you want the chance to snag some seriously high-quality work!

Be back in a week! Cheers!
