Thank you for all of your birthday wishes ~~ I very rarely check deviantArt at this point and as notifications build up I end up being too overwhelmed to respond to everything...well actually anything (pretty sure the last time I replied to something was my last birthday?? HA).
Still, always appreciate the support and love <3
(whether or not I really deserve it lmao //shot)

Hello! Updates!
3 min read
I hope that you are all safe and well in whatever form of social distancing/quarantine you are in right now. I understand that many of you are going through difficult times in all the uncertainty, and I wish you the best as we each do our part to move forward.
On a less somber note, a few life updates from me: I'm a college grad now! Very excited to be done and looking forward to the future
Global pandemic or not, we're going to get through it, and for me, this also means more time for personal projects (art included!).
Since it's been a few years since I was last active, I'm going to clarify what's out of date on my profile and some next steps in terms of ongoing art and commission opportunities:

Global pandemic or not, we're going to get through it, and for me, this also means more time for personal projects (art included!). Since it's been a few years since I was last active, I'm going to clarify what's out of date on my profile and some next steps in terms of ongoing art and commission opportunities:
- First, I'm mainly active on Twitter now at twitter.com/lumaki_o. If you're interested in what I've been up to, I would check there first. I don't think I'll spend much time one DeviantArt in the future.
- Next, I've lost my list of ongoing projects after my Core subscription ended (I kept everything in a custom box). I'm almost certain that I finished my ongoing commissions, but if for some reason I overlooked your piece, please contact me. I will refund you immediately.
- Similarly, if we had any ongoing art trades and you finished a piece for me, but I have not returned the favor, please contact me and I will finish my part before working on other projects. However, if we had an art trade agreement that never got going, I'm going to consider it null and void. I don't plan to do any more trades in the near future.
- Likewise, if you have collabs that you're waiting on my part for, contact me if you already did your part. Otherwise, I'll scrap it.
- Finally, as I mentioned above, I want to open commissions soon. I've received some questions from you guys about when I hope to open and what my policy will be. To answer, I'm not entirely sure at the moment. Since I don't plan to use DeviantArt as much, I'm probably going to start my business elsewhere. However, I'll notify you through a journal where and how I will offer commissions once I get things set up. Tentatively, prices will be higher than they are on the existing information. Styles are more likely to be fully rendered pieces rather than sketches. Some of you have commented on my waitlist journal already and yes, I will be in touch. I'll ignore any comments after today (March 18, 2020), so if you're interested in commissioning me, please wait until I have more information
If you have any questions about any of this please comment below! It will be easier for me to keep track of things that way, and I can guarantee a response.
Thanks guys! And please...WASH YOUR HANDS

Long time no see!
I've been working on a research project at my uni this quarter -- my parter and I are testing to see the different ways artists interact with their communities on various social media platforms (DeviantArt, Twitter, Instagram, etc).
I'd really appreciate it if you could take 10 minutes to fill out the survey below:

To boost circulation for the survey, I'm going to be holding a Mini Raffle for a cell shaded bust with simple BG like so:

Since middle school, balancing my online art community with real life has been an interesting, sometimes frustrating experience. Because making online connections while developing my art skills has been a large part of my personal development, I have always been hesitant to let my worlds collide (plus ofc wariness of people I have met personally).
HOWEVER, I'd love to get to know some of you better professionally, as a learning opportunity. I want to know more about how you have incorporated art in your life, and frankly expand my circle outside of immediate friends.
If we have interacted through any of the following and you would be interested in connecting (on LinkedIn or email), please shoot me a note
- Mutuals
- You have Commissioned me/ been commissioned by me
- We have collaborated on art together

Hallo it's been a while but school is finally out! I'll be traveling/moving around the next week or two so I won't be able to do much drawing, but expect commissions and prizes to be coming out as soon as I'm settled down. Hope y'all have been doing well <3
