I went into this year with the intention of earning enough to buy a car and begin saving for a house/condo. By February, it became, “Can I afford rent, bills, and groceries?” These days, it’s, “Can I afford rent?”

🥳It's my birthday!!🍰 To those who don't know, I'm currently in the process of moving out of Florida. While I'm mostly set, moving is expensive and I need to buy a new desk for my new place 💀 I'd really appreciate any help! www.patreon.com/speremint ko-fi.com/speremint

Opening emergency commissions! I’ve had next to no work this month, and I’m currently in a battle with my old bank over my own money. I’m struggling to make rent/bills, and I’d appreciate any commissions or shares! ❤️ Request by DM or Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/lumiscuroart #emergencycommissions #art

Thanks again for having me! This was so much fun to draw ❤️ Highly recommend checking out Bob’s comic, Into the Smoke!

My case was denied, so yeah, they sure did throw my money into the void lmao I’m pursuing it with my bank since the issue was a transfer that processed on Venmo’s end but not on my bank’s, but uh. Yeah! I’m screwed this month unless I can get a ton of extra work, I guess 🙃

Added some recent work to my Inprnt shop! For the next week everything is 15% off ❤️ www.inprnt.com/gallery/lumi...

Without downloading new pictures, where are you mentally?

Venmo might have thrown $520 into the abyss lmao Totally wasn’t half of my rent or anything.

Eden and some fish. Still a bit burned out and in a not-great spot all around, but I wanted to redo an old illustration I no longer have the file for.

Trying to set up my copy editing website and all that to try to get more work, but it becomes a little difficult when you don’t have samples due to just starting out 😓

At Dokidokon this weekend, selling with @emossillustration.bsky.social!

Finally get a new medicine that gives me energy and the ability to go about my day…and it causes horrible stomach pain every time I eat more than three cheerios 🫠

Next time I go to the bookstore, I’m going to look for a romance with a cover I’d like to redesign.

I’ve officially become so stressed about finances that I gave myself a terrible vertigo episode 😵‍💫

Game, set, match…💀 #twistedwonderland #idiashroud

Happy valentines day! @nyannthaniel.vtubers.social and I will be live soon doing some Lethal Company and FFXIV event. This artwork is such a cute piece! I adore it so much!! 🎨: @lumiscuro.bsky.social

I am so sorry for anyone at Katsucon rn 😬 I’ve been at cons where the ceiling leaked before, but it was never a sewage pipe…

Goals for this month: Finish the backlog of things I need to do, and then find more work I’ve barely had paid work in three months and both me and my finances are wasting away 🥲

Went to give my Guinea pig a handful of hay and grabbed something fuzzy. It was a mummified mouse 💀

I’ve been feeling sick to my stomach for days from stress at Being Alive in this damn country. But I am still unreasonably excited about Dinosaur Movie 🦕

My expectations for this year are so low that my resolution is “Cook at least one pork chop that isn’t burnt.”

Goodbye, Gatsby. You were the most handsome, sweetest little buddy anyone could want, and I’ll miss you so, so much 💔

No AX or Offkai for me this year 😔

Happy Anniversary Tempus Vanguard!!! I took part in the Gavis Bettel Fine Art Gallery hosted by @peanut_alley on Twitter to celebrate our dear jester. Everyone worked so hard and the project turned out beautiful❤️ Mine is “The Penitent Jester”, based on “The Penitent Magdelen” #Bettelful

In desperate need of more work… 💀

Goals for 2025: Survive(?)

Helllllooo, I’m at Holiday Matsuri in the artist alley this weekend at table J-12! Come say hi if you’re around 👋

The con stress nightmares are not playing around this time 😭

I am on my knees begging for literally ANY of my HolMat shipments to come on time, plEASE

Last minute con crunch for HolMat… 💀

I didn’t know it was possible to get daily heartburn from stress until now 🥲

If someone could give me a valid reason why my upstairs neighbors, who have been stomping around all day, have decided to vacuum at 1am, I would appreciate it. And if you can’t give me a reason you’ll need to give me an alibi, because COME ON.
