My dear friends~....
=========================
Hope you are all doing well~

I thought I'd take the time to write a briefish journal of what's been happening for all those interested.

2023 hasn't been the best for many, a wild ride in a sense, and not all in the best way. Especially for me, it's been one hell of a ride through thick and thin, with sudden changes and new experiences both good and bad.
In the beginning it seemed like things might improve and I would've attempted to follow through on my plans to do more for myself. But they swiftly took a tumble after my bio-injection (Infleximab for anyone curious) treatment didn't agree with me no more (Started in December, then stopped in January) so I had to change things up with steroids which did not help at all. It only made my condition worse, I was slowly getting weaker and growing a fistula within me that was also causing a great amount of pain. So much so that by summer I had to stay with family and swiftly after be taken into hospital when it grew infectious and serious. Luckily I was seen to quick and they operated on me to drain the cyst and down the infection with antibiotics, but the whole thing left me broken inside, shattered even.
I recovered well luckily, the infection disappeared over the course of the weeks and I was able to eat, walk and do things a bit more, but I still have this fistula until my crohn's has fully settled into remission. So for the next few months I've been doing tests at hospitals and exams to check over everything, and soon was starting a new powder medicine called Questran, which slows down digestion so your food can process and intestines absorb as much nutrients as possible. It's a bit of a bother at times still having loo issues, but I get by most of the time. Some days are better than others.
And now I'm on a new treatment/ Bio-infusion called Ustekinumab, which is another treatment to help control Crohn's better. Had a vein infusion a few weeks back without any reactions luckily, (nothing like the other where my throat closed up, couldn't breathe and nearly passed out.) but I won't expect to see or feel any results for the next 7ish weeks from now. After that I'll have to inject more via needle under the skin, which doesn't sound cozy but, if it helps then hopefully it'll work. So all I can do now is wait and continue as I am for the best that I can. Hopefully this'll give you a better idea of what's been happening with me.

Not all of 2023 was bad however! Even tho my drawing has slowed down and I haven't really posted anything of yet, I am still making things in the background for both myself (Or least trying to) and friends, as well as try to spruce up my Twitch streaming so I can do more within the coming year. Got a pair of new sonas I'm having fun toying with in art as well as in VR (Well, want to make a model for the Gatox somehow, but will seek that after the holidays) so that's been fun in places~
Made some wonderful new friends during the year, even dated someone for awhile! (Tho we're not dating anymore, still had some good times and hope to continue as good friends moving forward) I'm very blessed to have met and become close with alot of people within the recent years, my life wouldn't be the same without them, in all honesty. They mean alot to me.

As Christmas comes around I'm hoping to make the best of it, by decorating out as much as possible, get festive, help out as much as I can and just spread some cheer on this lousy year we've been having, and hope that 2024 will be the one where things get better for all, not just me.

Can't think what else to add as I finish this journal... If there is anything people can ask I'm sure, friends know where to reach me.
And yeah, it's no secret anymore that I'm VexxBlack and still make silly snek posts in places like BlueSky or such, I just preferred to keep my snek stuff separate and will continue to do so in future. Probably didn't need saying but I felt like getting that off my chest anyway.

For now I will leave this journal and get started on trying to make Christmas special this year. I hope everyone else gets a great holiday, we certainly need more happy buzzes. Until then, stay warm, have fun, and wish you all the best, as I too will continue to do my own best. Till then, see yah for now!~

Thanks for Listening~...

Attention loyal sssubjectsss~....
=========================
Greetings,
It has been a long while since I wrote anything, or posted much here on FA. Which some may find a shame, I know, but life has been harsh of late with my health being worse than normal and other personal things going on. I do not wish to speak about the personal matters, however I will say that as far as my health goes, I have been getting help to try and manage it.

I don't believe I spoke of it before, as I didn't wish to reveal and be pitied upon (In the sense of made to feel sorry when I wish to be as strong as others I cherish in my life) but I have Crohn's Disease, have had for a very long time as most know. These last few years since Covid and lockdown, it had become worse to where I'd become weaker, unable to do much and thus felt uninspired and sometimes too harsh on myself to do anything to the point it became a chore more than inspiring. I have had help with improvement thanks to some lovely friends I've made over time here, and wish to continue this as I hope to improve with my current health status.

In order to take new steps, I'm going to do a little refresh on my artwork and try to make improvements on both myself and the work I do such as my Kingmissions. As such, from today a few of those will be cancelled but if people are interested again in future I will leave journals and notes open for those who still want. And I appreciate it if you are okay with this decision, its not an easy but I want to start fresh in 2023 and I don't want to be weighted down by burden I have caused myself due to anxiety from holding onto a waiting list for so long. So if I haven't gotten back to you I apologize, but feel free to contact me again when I open up and if you want in again, I will take you.

Another thing I've been thinking about, as well as trying to improve my health both mentally and physically, was (with some warm help) to start making art streams to push myself a little in a good direction towards bettering myself and my work towards future goals that I plan to set. So if you're interested I will keep you in the loops as to when and where I will stream artwork, might be sooner than you think~

Until then, hope you all take care, stay safe out there and once again thank you for your patience as I sort myself out in this harsh time.
And for those who stuck by and helped through all kinds of therapy and advice, I thank you from the bottom of my royal heart, you are a blessing in my life~

Thanksss for Listening~...

=========================
For those who may be wondering, my health has been hindering me for the last few months so I haven’t been able to be as active. My artwork has been both put on hold and have reached a slight artblock that I’ll need to tackle when I start to be more like myself before.

Comms and such are still on hold as such, I have a slight backlog and once I’ve conquered them I may reopen for a few slots if able. But just for those curious it won’t be anytime soon. Perhaps before the end of the year holidays, we will see.

Thank you for being patient with me, and take care out there everyone~

Thanksss for Listening~...

Attention loyal sssubjectsss~....
=========================
Both the slots have been taken for now~
I will reopen for others to get a chance later on, but for now the Regular Comm goes to  Parkourdragon
And the Sticker Comm goes to  Azelia

I’ll keep in touch with progress as I work, and inform subjects when I open up again~
Till then...
Thanksss for Listening~...

Attention loyal sssubjectsss~....
=========================
During the course of late last year, I tried to work on commissions in the background for those who had asked before, and as a result of backlog I’ve become a quite overwhelmed. Taking my health into consideration, I’ve decided to reset my Commission list for 2021.
For anyone who had been waiting before, I apologise in advance. Rest assured nothing was taken while in wait so no one loses anything, just their spot on the list.

Which brings me to my next note, I am planning to open comms again for a short while.
If you were waiting before, here’s your chance to come get one again~

I will be opening one regular commission slot and one sticker slot. Meaning one person can order a regular type of commission if they so choose, and another can order some telegram stickers for their enjoyment~
All prices have been altered and still feature on my Trello page in the main userpage of me, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask~

If you wish to order any of the following, please send me a Note with the titles for either One Regular or One Sticker and I’ll accept if terms and conditions are met. Until then, take care as we move onward to a better 2021~

Thanksss for Listening~...

I’m not really a journal kind of snek, but I do believe an update is in order to let others know what is happening. For awhile I have been struggling with health issues of my own. I won’t burden you with the details, but my friends (and subjects~) know best of my situation. But despite that I am slowly working my way back on top of things.
I have stickers still to do and pieces that I am aware of, and I do humbly apologise for the wait. If you are still willing I will contact you about these details on who still are awaiting artwork from me. If not, I would understand the wait was too long, but sometimes we cannot control what happens to one’s self or life. I appreciate all your support regardless~

As you can see been working on a few new things, and introduced my right-hand Kat into the picture now. He’s a cheerful feline and is sure to bring more interesting ideas to the table~ So I hope you all loyal folk continue to enjoy what I supply for your viewing pleasure~

Thank you all for reading, and have a sss-plended weekend~

I am thinking of opening a few hypnotic sticker set slots to help boost myself back into the swing of things.

(Can find examples in my gallery and in my commissions trello on the front of my homepage~)

My dear friend  WhiteshadowHare needs help, as his poor kitten is in hospital care and can do with your help. If you would, consider taking part in any commissions or auctions he has going right now to cover any bills. Or if you cannot spare a coin, please do this King a favour and spread the word more for me. Help him in his time and give the bun suppor.

Thank you for your time~...

Forgive the lack of things here lately, my health hasn’t been too great since the start of this summer. But just to assure this King hasn’t, well...slithered off, just been taking my time to get things back in order with my being as it were~
Been slowly getting back into artwork of the scaly verity, so hopefully soon I’ll have something to show off~ And also commissions again for anyone interested, hope to possibly open a few slots once I get these other two done.
(Forgive my lack of contact on that part and hope you are still willing to work with a slow King~)

That was all I wanted to get out, so Thank you for lisssstening~ Have a good one~

Must say, despite all the complications of my health in my own time, I have met a lot of fantassstic people and have some wonderful serva-I mean, friendsss here... and it’s been lovely to be here. Want to thank you all for making a snek feel welcome, and also wish you all a very Merry Christmassss, and a Happy New Year too~
Stay warm, keep wrapped up, and don’t open some gifts till the next year~

So, after some things happened and some of which going my way nicely, I have decided to begin commissions for future artwork. I'll write down lists of pricing and all that soon enough for those interested, I'm just not the kind of snek to be rushed around due to health reasonsss.
As such, slots will only be One or Two at a time depending on how I am health wise, but I will let you know whoever decides to commission me. As you saw some lovely people have done so already and I appreciate all their help~ Look forward to making some more when this is all set up~

Till then I'll keep you informed, sssssleep tight servantsss~

===Sneky'sss Shoutoutsss===

Ssso, as you saw I posted a commission for my buddy bun few days back, after experimenting with different ways to get drawings and such up on the internet. After some thought, I've been thinking of opening commissions up to help with things and allow some fans drawings off me.

Before I get to pricing and all, I gotta ask one important quesssstion... would anyone be interested?

===Sneky'sss Shoutoutsss===

So in the past few months I've had problems, regarding health and computers. The latter in which made it harder for me to create artistic pieces digitally, much harder. It's left me rather down about it, so I've been keeping rather quiet around the internet so I apologise for that, anyone looking for more Sneky content. Currently I cannot do much until after the holiday season is over, but in the meantime, due to some huge encouragement from some good friends (You know who you are~) I'll post up some sketches I've made in the background on various things. Quality might be a little off due to camera stability, but I hope you all enjoy traditional sketches regardless~

With that, in case I am gone throughout, I I hope you all have a Merry Christmassss~

Oh and... make sure to wrap up tightly now, petsssss~...

===Sneky'sss Shoutoutsss===

 AzuraTheFox  Amby  WhiteshadowHare
 Dafoxy  the-b3ing

For awhile I've been ssspreading the word about my bros and friendsss, who needed help or deserve some proper attention because they are fantasssstic folk, and I feel instead of just listing them one by one, I'll just put them all here so they all get the spotlight rather than just the one. So if you fancy a peek, or commissioning them or whatever you fancy, pleasssse do take a look, for me would you?~ (If you require further persssssuasion, come clossser and I can give you the right pussh~)

Ssso I want to thank you all for watching me from below the treesss, enjoying me or my artwork, and for your patience asss I recover from my illnessses and troubles~ Whenever I get back to doing more I hope you all enjoy~
