Coms are closed! I have about 13 or so to complete, and the top of my list are the ones that will take the longest. I'm also working on a storyboard at the same time to post as a trailer before I upload my fanfic, so I appreciate the patience guys <3

Roughs from The Amazing Traveling Circus animatic I'm working on :) It'll be loosely cleaned due to this being one of first action-based animatic I've done by myself since DTVA. Rusty ^^; I want to keep working on my action sequences #myart #tadc #tadcAU #theamazingdigitalcircus

Does anyone who had to move away from LA ever get FOMO? I keep looking at friends posts on Instagram and feel like I'm missing out on everything I used to be a part of

I Know I should also work on original stuff but TADC has just given me so much inspo I haven't drawn or written so much in a long time so it makes me really happy

I wish I could do storyboards again Or something art related I'm feeling more and more like my whole purpose in life was a lie I lived for ten years I don't know who I am anymore

K back from a little vacay of sorts so I'm going to hit the ground running tomorrow and do as many commissions as I can. Officially unemployed now, been applying at everything under the sun and not getting anywhere, so to keep myself from drowning in despair, I'll do coms and a funnybunny animatic-

Ashley Michelle Simpson || COMMISSIONS CLOSED @kicsterash.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

I have fallen down the Funnybunny hole .___. I still prefer a platonic relationship over romantic but I can't say I'm not enjoying the two anyway :) #tadc

Not gonna lie... I never got a job by regular application, and it's still demoralizing to know I have all this experience under my belt but I'm not getting any bites from studios, even in Canada.

Just got back from a bit of camping with my niece and mom, recovering from a migraine lol I'm going to try to get my pet comes out of the way this week and then work on two other things (for friends), then I'll probably open up character commissions

Ashley Michelle Simpson || COMMISSIONS CLOSED @kicsterash.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

I wonder if I should open up furry coms? Sfw ones of course

If they were music genres, Spike would be Rock, Coco would be Pop or EDM, and Satellite would be Classical Pet Commissions are still open <3 Taking ten slots and I have 9 left #myart #myocs #OCs #KICS

Reminder that I have Pet commissions open! <3 Any help is appreciated!! Either message me or email me (the sketch doesn't have to be pink either lol) #commissions #artcommissions #petcommissions

Funds go to paying off debt that has followed me since I moved back to Canada ^^; #commissions #myart #help

Lol I should have ALSO mentioned it was for paying off debt. The trip is just an added bonus

Morning! So yesterday, a coworker of mine dropped off a letter from the School division's head office. It had an extra letter inside, and it took me a minute before realizing that it came from a fan in the states. It was very sweet, but please, guys. Do NOT send me fanmail through the school (1/2)

My contract as a teacher is ending tomorrow, with stretch pay until August, and still haven't gotten a bite with storyboard applications. Kinda starting to give up

Applied to a position at Atomic Cartoons <3 I know it says for BC residents only, but the only way I'll be able to move there is if I get a job offer. Praying I can get a chance 🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏 #storyboardartist #atomiccartoons #stilllookingforajob

no idea if anyone in my industry will see this, but does anyone from Canada know where I can find affordable classes of animation or illustrating or design? Because as much as I am dying to get back into storyboards, Canadian studios won't hire unless I'm in said province. #jobhunt #animationjobs

I'm sorry I haven't been active here. Teaching has completely drained my battery, and at the worst time too because I have so much debt to pay off. I feel bad opening commissions after not even being active here for so long, but I'll probably be doing that soon. Maybe stream while I draw them.

Living in the middle of nowhere alone when you have no one to talk to is such a shitty feeling

Maannnn I wish whoever made brushes for Procreate made them for CSP. I cannot afford an ipad just for one program, but I've already seen so many beautiful halftone brushes that I would love for my comic. CSP's options don'T come near that quality T_T

Pretty old #bnha piece I did for Lo Lights zine. First time drawing the whole of Class 1-A and first time really experimenting with rain. Mineta was strategically placed right in the middle of the two pages so you could barely see him lol #mha #myart #myheroacademia #class1A

Wondering if I should make prints of rats. Just like, have a theme to my art I sell you know? Little items like charms and stickers would still be characters like Sonic and whatnot

So I need more money If I made Sonic stickers and posted them on redbubble or made sales myself, would people be interested? I'd open commissions, but I am so backed up with drawings for students at school that I'll never get them done. waiting for summer 4that. But yeah... stickers?

These are pieces I made for my students' painting displays at school. I chose characters everyone recognized, down to Nursery. It was a major hit, and will be staying up until April. #SonictheHedgehog #sth #sonic #tails #amyrose #knuckles #shadowthehedgehog

More old art :) Sonic and Tails! Been debating if I should make sticker designs and see if anyone would want to buy those. I've caught up with commissions but I'm still in need of extra funds to help pay off debt. #sonicthehedgehog #tailsthefox #sth #sonicandtails #myart

Trying to get back into regular posting online <3 Probably the only way nowadays to properly get people to read my comics when I post them! Please forgive me for being so quiet... Wonder if the algorithm will forgive me too ^^;
