Howdy ! I wonder what I missed, I didn't login in ages ! I took a looong break from my general art due to a burnout, but I feel motivated to post new art now.

I'm still working on experimental things. I plan to learn how to draw Furry / anthro Kemono, perhaps Kaiju too, & species that I never drew before. Constructive criticism & art tips are always appreciated, I care about improving to get better at art.

About my previous announcement : Things have calmed down a bit & I'm no longer in a hurry. I was extremely stressed when I made this announcement because of unusual events in my personal life ; I hope that what happened won't become common nor happen again. Though, I still try to save in case things don't go as planned. I truly hope to live independently as soon as possible ; I won't lie, my situation is not the best & is far from healthy, & I won't keep listening to the gaslights that claim the contrary & ruin my mental health further. Support is always appreciated.

Except that, I don't really have news. Sorry about the long unannounced hiatus, I hope to be able to post more art soon. Have a nice day / night. ⸜(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)⸝

Just when I thought that my life was getting better, I realised that I am not in a safe place & that I urgently need to get an income in case I have to live by my own earlier than expected. I'm unsure if will be able to afford food if I live independently & if my application for student housing would be accepted, so I rather save a lot in case I have to look for more expensive.

I don't feel comfortable with calling these "emergency commissions" as I'm unsure of when I will move, I rather not take a lot of risks as I could put myself in a more dangerous situation, but sharing this post will be greatly appreciated.

I updated my Carrd & my commission slots. I can take commissions from now on as I have a 1 week break in a few days. I will see how I can manage to work during studies. If you're interested by commissioning me, fill the form in my Carrd & send it to me via Discord or email.

5 slots will be available for February - March as I don't want to end up delaying or cancelling commission requests like I did previously.

Thanks a lot for reading. Have a nice day / night & happy Valentine's Day to those who celebrate it !

Bluesky lifted the invitation system, so I decided to expand there. In case you want to also follow me there, here's the link to my profile : Link

( I think this announcement concerns more Ko-Fi supporters & commissioners, but in case you also use ibisPaint X... )

Today I came across the 'surprise' that ibisPaint X now puts a watermark on timelapse, & there's no way to remove it unless you pay for Premium. I wasn't aware that I had automatic updates turned on, so I am stuck with a watermark on timelapse.

It kind of bothers me that my next timelapse will have a watermark on, so I rather let you know in case you wish to commission me or to make a donation on Ko-Fi.

Hi everyone. My holidays end soon so I wanted to give some updates & clarifications.

• I don't want to be a freelance artist anymore.

I don't think that I can make my hobby a job. The pressure of updating my page regularly is too much & my fanbase isn't big enough for me to live with my work. Also, AI replacing artistic jobs & the amount of people defending art thief ( including my work being stolen ) don't make me believe that I would go far as an artist.

• I won't take commissions outside of summer holidays.

I'm not in a situation in which I need to take commissions during studies anymore, & keeping commissions always open would be too much time consuming. I prefer that art remains a stress relief rather than something that makes me stressed & that I need to rush. So I will stop taking commissions at the beginning of the 13th August. Thanks for understanding.

• I will post less art.

I think that this one is obvious. I will maybe post 1 time a month but don't expect a lot.

I think that's all. If you read all of this, well, I'm surprised. Thanks. Here, have a cookie. (っ･-･)っ🍪

I forgot to announce here that I went in another break ( sorry ). But I am back & I feel better about past events. I'm going to finish the sketches that I were working on. I'm also going to update commission samples because they are old.（；へ：）

I recently expanded to Itaku since Twitter keeps shadowbanning my account & making it harder for followers to see artists' posts. In case you want to follow me there, here's my page : Itaku page

Something happened, I don't feel good, at all. I wanted to never be at this state again, but here I am. I don't know when I will come back. I need a break from everything. Sorry.

As the title says, I got gifted Supporter ! To whoever gifted me Supporter, thank you very much ! Feel free to tell me who you are, I would like to thank you personally. =]

Since I have supporter, I can change my username. Now you can call me Ramen or Leafy, both work. Also, exams ended, so I can make more experimental drawings. There are many things that I wanted to draw but that I didn't try yet, but it will change soon ( hopefully ).

I think that's all. Have a nice day everyone.

Hi, sorry for the inactivity. Some big events happened & I don't feel well. I'm sick & I will probably stay on break for a moment ( I will maybe post some doodles occasionally ). I don't know if I will keep commissions open in 2 weeks but I will still work on the ongoing ones.

Also, I changed my username ( sort of, I can't change it here ). I don't feel connected to 'ChickenRamenArt' anymore & I feel sorry about most of the drawings I made during my 'Polandball' phase. While it doesn't seem like I've hurt someone & I didn't mean to target the countries involved, I still feel like what I drew was disrespectful & I hate that. I apologise to whoever got hurt by my drawings, I will make sure that it doesn't happen again. Now, I & my content changed & I wish to not be associated to Polandball nor my old art anymore.

I think that's all. Have a nice day everyone.

I forgot about it ( again ).. but Happy Clock Day !
