First of all, I want to thank all my long-term followers that have patiently read my rules and requested from me pretty consistently. You’re the main reason this was a hard decision to make- I hate to disappoint you all. You made me feel wanted and the requests fun. THANK YOU SO MUCH! nintendolover2010 MVerseDFender MysticMokenba3131 kaykeyser cecilartman Derkman GhostWriter434 Markimoofan863 Prismblack91 Sharper-The-Writer Envytheskunk 

Originally- and I have been thinking about this since last year- I thought I would stop taking requests after 2020. I was planning on announcing this in June, but then the outbreak happened- and my focus deceased and stress levels increased. Doing requests became more of an obligation than a fun warm-up, and I realized I wasn’t looking forward to days when I was scheduled to do one.

I find myself more and more wanting to draw my own characters rather than someone else’s- especially if they’re not from a fandom I’m a part of. And with the world going through all these big changes, I really want to devote my free time to drawing what I want to draw- because who knows what the future will bring. So like the title in this journal says, I’m no longer accepting requests here on dA.

I intend on continuing the biweekly Miraculous Ladybug Akumas, and the Monthly Animated  Icons. Since a lot of you voted for it on this poll, I may start up my MLP: Flowers of Harmony paintings again. Those of you that like my MLP OC Daisy Daedal are welcome to ask her questions- I enjoy drawing her a lot lately. But other than those things, I’ll say my updates are going to be based on when I get inspired to draw- so updates will be less consistent then they have been, sorry!

I’ll be mostly using my status updates to announce videos I make and streams- during which, I may take sketch requests for those watching. (That is probably the only place I’ll accept requests going forward.) I’m not sure what I’ll use my journal for, but I’m open to suggestions.

I am posting this on April 30th instead of May 1st because I do not like DeviantArt Eclipse, and intend on joining the protest on May 1st- May 4th and won’t check dA: www.deviantart.com/howl-n-hart…  So I’ll likely post May’s animated icon on the 5th- see you then!

Thanks again to those of you that have made the requests fun! And thank you so much if you’ve taken the time to read this entire journal. <3 See you around!

I don’t know about you, but where I live it’s starting to feel like spring. The days of rain calm me, and the sunny weather seems to keep my mood up- as long as I’m safe at home, that is. But I wish I could go outside without threat of illness if I’m not hyper aware of what I’m touching again (just mildly aware is easier than the stress of constant vigilance). 

    I would only go out to go grocery shopping if it weren’t for my grocery store job- which I’m thankful I have.

    Speaking of my job- I’m working a lot of early shifts this later half of April, so there are only three request spots left for the rest of the month- sorry! Be sure to read my rules if you want one- I will not reply to requests that don’t follow them.
Reminder that if you don't like the choice of holidays available, you can always pick one of these for the available days left: 

• Canine Fitness Month

• Humor Month

• Month of Hope

• Poetry Month

• Straw Hat Month

    That’s all for now! Stay safe and wash your hands!

  Hello! It is All Fools Day today, but trust me when I tell you I don’t feel like being tricky at the moment. I’m sure you’ve had enough being fooled anyway. But anyway, it’s a new month, so it’s a start for a bunch of new projects and holidays to celebrate- including my Birthday! 

I once again get older on the 13th of April- so if you’re an artist and would like to get me a present, I’d love to get Fan Art of my characters! It would make me really happy... :bademoticon: 

 Those of you that want requests- I’ve made another holiday google sheet for you here! Don’t like any holidays listed there? Monthly holidays for April I’ll also accept for any available date are:

• Canine Fitness Month

• Humor Month

• Month of Hope

• Poetry Month

• Straw Hat Month

I’ll only be accepting requests for dates up to the 15th of April, so please don’t request dates past then. In my next journal I’ll reopen requests for the later half of the month.  

  Also- if you’re not already a member, please join my Discord! You can chat with other Fans of my art, and get notified when I update on DeviantArt, Tumblr, and Youtube! Here’s a join link: discord.gg/NnEns5Y   

  Speaking of Youtube, I made another Speed Paint introducing another Original character of mine, so please check it out too: youtu.be/dVr_16qSyfA  

 That’s all for now! Thanks for reading this update, and stay healthy!  

...can march forward in March.

     Sorry for the delay in this post! All this Coronavirus stuff has had me mentally stressed, and unable to focus well- especially since I work in a grocery store. So far I’m fine, but being exposed to so many people on a near daily-basis is not a comfortable thing. But the mandated shut-in in the County I’m in, and seeing how few people are on the street on my way traveling to and from work has calmed me down some.  

     I am also very far behind on my projects- so I don’t know if I’ll be able to do everything I specified. But anything I don’t do I’ll add to next month’s project list.  

     Request people, I only have two spots left- one of which will no longer be available after the date of this post. So if you have a request (that falls within my rules) and haven’t gotten one yet, speak up now or miss out.  

   I think that’s all for now. Happy Poultry Day!
