Hey guys, long time no see (^ ^ ; )

Yeah, it's been a while since I uploaded anything on here. Sophomore year has been rough. From not having my boyfriend here, to having the shittiest roommate possible that has been causing me endless anxiety to the point that I hate being in my room anymore, to the amount of work I have, to constantly working on commissions to have an income,  I just haven't had time to draw anything for myself. Fortunately, I only have to deal with all of this for a few more weeks and I'm free for the summer.

A few things I wanted to talk about that have happened these past few months/things that are going to happen.

If you were friends with me on my dA facebook, you may have noticed me disappear on there as well. Well, FB deactivated my account for whatever reason, probably because my name on there was "SaMelodii DA" and therefore not a real first and last name so they thought I was a spam account or something lol. Anyway, I'm hoping to make another account soon so be on the lookout for that.


The next thing I wanted to talk about: this year, I've slowly been realizing the fact that I am in fact an adult and therefore can make my decisions without asking my parents lol. So I've made a couple huge decisions that will be taking place soon:

I've decided to live with my boyfriend and his family for the entire summer and find a job there.

My boyfriend isn't allowed to come back to school until January so I'll have to deal with another semester without him. So I decided the best thing to do for the sake of my sanity is to live with him for 3 1/2 months instead of being 5 1/2 hours away from each other and therefore making visits even harder.

In terms of my living situation for next semester, after dealing with two years of living with people I don't know and having the shittiest roommate situations, I've decided to get a single. More specifically, I will be living in a single in a section of dorms on my campus that allows pets. This wasn't my original idea, when looking at room options I jokingly said to my mom "What if i got a room in a dorm that allows pets and adopted a cat? Lol" and my mom was like "Sam you're almost 21 you don't need to ask me this. It would be your cat, your responsibility." And I was like holy shit that's right I'm an adult now lol.

So I have decided I will be adopting a cat for the purpose of a friend, a companion/therapy animal for my anxiety, and knowing that I will be helping a cat find a good home ; v ;

I've already found one I want at the local animal shelter, I just have to wait until I'm officially done with classes to be able to adopt her since I have nowhere to keep her currently. The waiting is agony, I'm worried someone will adopt her before I do. ; A ;

But yeah, I've been making a lot of adult decisions recently, and to fund these decisions all the artwork I've been doing is commissions. I will continue to keep commissions open these next three weeks, because I need to raise about 200$ to get everything for the cat adoption, including the adoption fee. If you would like to commission me, feel free to! (I would love Hetalia commissions, it's been too long since I've drawn some APH stuff ; v ; )

Anyway, just wanted to update things so people don't think I've like disappeared off the face of the earth lol.
Thanks for the continued support as well, I hope to be back here soon with more art once I have more free time (and once dA becomes less dead lol)

Hey guys, I decided to try revamping my Patreon account. I had originally made it for my webcomic, which I'm hoping I can someday continue, but it never really got successful, and my life became so busy I couldn't do anything with it.

But I'm thinking I can revamp and be more active on there, so I made it for my artwork in general. I know I don't post very often on here, since I've dedicated my time to commissions at this point, but if I were to get supporters on Patreon, I would love to interact with my supporters there, have polls on what character I should draw each month; basically draw something I would enjoy drawing, but the audience would have an input in what I'm drawing so they enjoy it as well. ( maybe they would wanna see more of my webcomic, and it would motivate me to find the time to work on it ;; v ;; )

I would also make Patreon exclusive tutorials and stuff, and have drawings on there that are Patreon exclusive, as well as have SFW and NSFW variants.

Please consider supporting me on Patreon, I've had so much success throughout the last year with commissions, and I would love to make art as an income while I'm at college this semester. The more artwork/commissions I have to do, the more I can keep my mind off the fact that my boyfriend won't be with me this semester...

Hey guys, it's been a while.

As I mentioned in my previous journal, I'm on winter break. This past week I've been gone visiting my boyfriend at his house. I had a great time, it was so nice to spend New Years with him.

And then the last day came, and as we were saying goodbye, he took a deep breath and said "Babe, I'm not coming back to school this semester." And I felt my heart drop.

Apparently his anxiety medication hadn't been working during our last semester, and he was doing poorly in his classes as a result. This was completely unknown to me because I don't have any classes with him, and he didn't say anything to me because he didn't want me to worry. Every time I asked him about classes, he said they were going well, but I guess that wasn't the case. So now he's taking the semester off to get better mentally and become more stable for our junior year this fall.

I completely understand that he needs to do this, his mental health is the most important thing right now, but it still is breaking my heart thinking about living on campus without him. I'm so used to hanging out with him, seeing him, eating with him, etc. every day while at school. And now I'm gonna be on my own.

I know that there are couples out there that have been doing a long distance relationship for years, and my situation isn't as extreme as those and I feel bad for, I guess a good word would be "complaining" about being alone.

But he was my rock at school, and the closer we get to going back to school, the more I am not looking forward to it.

I've been crying the past few days, dwelling on what's to come, and I already know that these next few months are gonna be hell for me.

One good thing to come out of this is that since I'll be at school, we'll only be 2 hours away from each other instead of 5. And, my friend Katie, who is childhood friends with my boyfriend, says she would be happy to drive me to his house on the weekends, as long as I can help pay for gas. If I could go see him on the weekends, I think that would be enough for me to get through the following week. But to do that I'll need money. So I'm gonna keep my commissions open, any commissions will help. 

I'll have more time to work on stuff now because my schedule for classes is only 10-1 and it's not like I can go up to my boyfriends room after class and hang out anymore...

So please, any and all commissions help.

I know I'm already pretty quiet on here, but this is gonna affect my anxiety and depression pretty bad. So I apologize if I'm not very talkative on here during these next few months. Please know that I love all you guys on here, and appreciate all support I have received and hopefully will receive with some commissions soon.

Thanks guys, I love you all <3

Hey guys!
So I'm currently home for the weekend, and I realized now might be the only time I can get my boyfriends 1 year anniversary present. I know I mentioned it a few journals back, but I decided to go through with the matching headset ideas, and add the idea to get matching games with multiplayer so we can play them together! (^ v ^) problem is, I need that money quickly, so I'm writing this journal just to remind people that I have commissions open, both SFW and NSFW!

Every commission will help! Please help a gal out, I love my boyfriend so much and want to have a great present to give him for our 1st year together (^ v ^)
