SomaShiokaze

Yep, exactly what the title says.

Planning to make a new DA to maybe start fresh, not too sure really.

I am always on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter just due to the fact I am able to upload things faster onto it.

So yeah, sorry for the years of silence, but will be making a new one.

If you want to know when, just note me and I may just send you to my new one once I make it.

Hope you all have a good day, if you want to see any of my new work follow these other social media sites:

Hey guys.

I am sorry that I have not been active on here at all, whatsoever

I am actually more active on: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
And I am soon going to be recording more of my art and game plays when I get things set up on my PC

I've noticed that no one here is willing to do paypal commissions until you have over 1k followers or have over 1 million/billion views , so that is why I kinda stopped being on here.

Sure, I can do requests or art trades...BUT that is not going to bring me any sort of income for my art.
What do I get in return?
More publicity?
More views?
But it's only going to be from those wanting requests or art trades as well.
And I have no motivations to do something I am not getting paid for.

Sure, I'll work on the requests I have had, but my moto is : paying customers come first.

I've been working on several commissions, yes commissions meaning they have been or are going to be Paid for , and that has been taking a toll on my time to draw my prints for my artist table.

These commissions? Got them through my facebook page:

www.facebook.com/somashiokaze?…

Yep. Not on Deviantart. For useless points. For actual money that I can use to pay for groceries, gas, etc.

I'm hoping if I can gain more followers on both Facebook and Instagram, that I can get commissions to come in left and right.
But I have to work extra hard at keeping things updated and uploading practically every day.
I have gain some followers and admirers, but I am aiming for higher!

Again, if you wish to follow me, I am going to be on:

Facebook: Dark Elf Studios (art) and Dark Elf Cosplay (cosplays)

Now for me to disappear once again.

Hello everyone, long time no update.

I am sorry to ask for you guys this, but I am in a small bind here...

I have recently decided that I am going to start seeing a therapist. My first session is this upcoming Thursday.
My depression and anxiety has gotten worse.
I have gotten a mental breakdown last month, which have finally opened my eyes to realizing that I needed to seek help.

I was able to get this session paid for because my recent-ex boyfriend offered to pay for it. He wants me to get better.
So I took his offer, but I still feel terrible about it.

I created a GoFundMe campaign to start earning money for my future sessions.

gofund.me/njan752s

I plan on going either every week, or every two weeks.

If you cannot donate, please just share the word. I would greatly appreciate any help that is given.

Thank you all so much.
