- That is very good. I'm sorry you had the fall. D: Those are never fun to deal with. :/ I'm glad you have your mom to help you out. :)

Yeah, it's good she can do things to help. She looked after my boy the other day when I went to the chiro (so she didn't have to chase him around the office lol). And that was good. far more relaxing for me. I need a massage... but yeah, my bruises are still fading, my right shin still hurts when I kneel flat and the rug burn on my wrist has scarred. It was awful for a bit, but I'm healing. But, while things still suck in some respects, (not living on our own, stress with hubby's job, stupid siblings) I'm making strides to doing and feeling better. Finding things to do, which is helpful in improving my overall emotional health too.

- I'm trying to get out on my own at the moment myself. :x Which is difficult when there are quite literally no jobs. So I'm hoping this next move might open up some doors for me so I can save money to move up north.

Does your art help as a kind of therapy?

Yeah. It's sucky that so many people say stupid things like "Just go get a job" and it's like "Sure, I'll JUST go get a job, it seems JUST so easy, thanks for the advice...". My husband is trying to get a better paying job or a promotion at work. My situation is as such that me getting a job (as long as he's being paid so little) would do nothing to benefit anyone- because all the money I'd make would go to daycare- and if I did get a job, I'd have to get public trans and then my mom would have to take my son to daycare (cuz she can't take care of him all day)- which would then make her the one that is raising him and not me, cuz I'm working so we can do what? Live on our own but have no means to feed ourselves? Yeah, sounds great.... my parents are happy and willing to help us until our sitch gets better, so we're just holding on. Hoping for better, so I hear ya.

Usually, art does help as a sort of therapy, but lately I've been exhausted and depressed and when I'm in a down mood, I have no desire to draw or do any art, so it doesn't help. I've been trying to find other methods of creating that require less effort that can be more relaxing. I should get myself a tiny zen garden... or some kinetic sand. lol.

- A zen garden, or even one of those little labyrinth tracers would be a good relaxation method. Are you able to take a bath every now and then? Essential oils are wonderful at rejuvenation. I mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil with 3 drops peppermint, 3 drops rosemary and I'll soak for a little while and it helps tremendously. Lavender is also good as a relaxant. :)

I should take baths more, but I don't. Usually in the evening, I try to get stuff done, but don't... so I should do something relaxing and I don't... and then there are nights where I just lay down on the couch and sleep for 3 hours. lol. But that's a good idea. I've got some sea salt... I can't remember what the scent is, might be lavender... but all the same, I need more essential oils... haven't done a labyrinth tracer, dunno what that is. xD

- Something like this....

You sit and just trace it, its very zen and relaxing. c:

Got you a finished chibi! Hope you likes! ♥

Here's the working size if you wish. =)

Oh wow!!! I love the detail!! The knit pattern on the sweater, the wrinkles in the jeans, and you got the color fade in the hair spot on (I'm also jealous of how you can put enough hair texture in there to make it look good without overdoing it, I can never manage to do that)! Thank you so much :)

You're welcome hun! It took me a couple tries to get the hair right, considering waves and curls are a pain. lol. Glad you like it! Njoi! (and it's already to size if you feel like putting it on your forum set. xD)

Just wanted to let you guys know that I've finished with the first batch and can now move onto you guys for your free chibi's! Lucky yous yeah? hehe. Going forward, I'm also going to be tweaking my shading technique so yours will look a little different in how they're shaded, but the style will remain the same. Just so you're not super surprised! Oh, and if you're wanting to change what you want (or haven't posted) feel free to post to change (or give!) me what you're seeking. (Form on first post)

Hope you're all enjoying the plot! Have fun! ~♥

Yay! :D Thanks so much for still working on these! :3 My request remains the same, and thankfully, the link still works. I look forward to see how this batch turns out!

I'm not sure if these are still open or not but I'm dying to have one if you are willing :) I also hope that everything gets better for you... I've been following your thread for some time and see that you are going through some tough times. It'll all work out for you, soon! :)

@ odduckOasis Thank you so much for the update! :) If it's not too much trouble, may I change my request? Can I possibly get a chibi of Min instead? [URL=https://www.pinterest.com/izumisan0135/mins-outfits/]Here[/url] is a list of outfits you can choose from. If you want, you can even mix/match them! :)

EDIT: here is the form!

[URL=https://www.pinterest.com/izumisan0135/mins-outfits/]Here[/url] is a list of her outfits! Desciption: Asian, with slightly larger than average eyes for an Asian person. Very playful and a bit teasing/coy. Pose: Feel free to wing it! Added Plushie? A cream lain would be nice, but not necessary!

I'm not yet adding to the waitlist as I'd rather clear it all out before I take down more names, but I will ping you when I'm open! Join my ping group: # Oasis for any art updates, esp if I decide to take commissions (which might be lucky since money is so tight).

Thanks for the well wishes. Things are slowly looking up, but there are still some bumps that have me concerned. We'll see how it pans out. Thanks!

Not a problem! I'll save your edited info and ping you when I have a chibi for you!

Thank you! :)

My request is still the same! I went back and edited out the broken link in my original post, but other than that it's all the same. ^^

Hello m'dear! I know it's been awhile, but I finally got your freebie done! I hope you like it!

Larger working version:

your art is amazing. i cant wait until your waitlist is back open!

Omg it's adorable! Perfect thing to come home to after a long, cold day at work. Thank you!

I still want the same, with your tweaks, of course!
