🎢 REBRANDING! 🎡 🔜 Megaplex DD #13

Ideally I’d like to launch everything at once — website, YouTube, store, all web presences. But with Megaplex coming up I’ll be focusing on prep and rolling this out quietly instead.

I feel great though. Like I actually want to create again. I think this was the right decision.

I already teased it on my Instagram but I’ve got everything for my rebrand more or less hammered out! Just need to implement it.

My long distance boyfriend is coming to visit next week so I’ll be debuting everything in the latter half of the month 👀 I’m so excited! 😭

Look who’s talking! 🗣️

Plugging along on this rebrand and it’s about time I had a proper icon! I’ve always struggled with them — it’s deceptively complicated to make something legible on such a small scale while still representing you. I think I nailed it this time!

CITY!!

💫 I'M UNEMPLOYED & THAT'S OKAY!

I bit the bullet today and quit my job of three years because it was making me miserable. I'll be pivoting to art full time and things are going to look very different around here in a short few weeks, so strap on in!

⤵️ Support & Road Map

For those who don’t know, I’m objectum. My car means a lot to me. She’s the only reason I escaped Florida. She’s seen me transition. She is my second home.

I was so adamant about paying her off myself. But it’s fitting that her title has your all of your fingerprints now 🥺

Oh my goodness — thank you guys so much for the outpouring of support 🥺🥹 I’m extremely touched and humbled to announce that Tux is all paid off because of unfathomable amounts of generosity and I can’t articulate how much that means to me. 🥺

My day job was the only thing keeping me from being consistent 😭

Thank you guys so much for all the love and understanding you've afforded me over the years. I hope I can return the favor whether it be through my art, the things I say, the community work I do, or the little sunny spot my presence might bring to your lives. Keep it pushin' ✌️

I'm sad. Genuinely. I really loved my job. I loved that I was getting college and I loved the stability. But I need to be kind to myself and understand when enough is enough. I want to stop feeling depressed when I have no reason to be — I'm loved and affirmed and safe.

• Patreon debut. Finally.
• More Tiktoks, even if they're like pulling teeth.
• More experimental artwork — expect autobio stuff, zines, different mediums, etc.

I think that about covers it. It'll be slow-going, but we'll get there eventually! All in good time and all that.

🚶‍♂️ MOVING FORWARDS

So what's the future for the web presences of Casper Cielo? A return to form, mostly. Expect in the coming months to see ...

• A return to Youtube content — yes, really!
• Themed badge openings. General commission slots will be rarer, sorry!

I am extremely confident I can get this work done for you guys in a timely manner. The siren has been a soul-sucking presence in my life that I didn't even know was affecting me — once I made up my mind, I've drawn more than I have in a week than I have in four months.

Commission types sold at Megaplex will be quick-turnaround or done on a template with a cap and openly advertised turnaround time-frames. If you want art from me? This is the time and place to do it, because I'll be retooling my openings moving forwards to avoid burnout.

⌛️ HEY, WHERE'S MY COMMISSION?

As of writing this, I only have three commissions in my queue. Everyone has been informed as to my life circumstances and refunds were offered and subsequently denied in the interest of getting their final pieces. These will be done early Sept.

Expect to see the rollout of my rebrand within the next few weeks, where I'll be preparing for Megaplex and pushing myself to kit out my stall with all new merch, commission options, and more. I really, really need this show to go well for me so that I can —

My rebrand is already hammered out. You've been seeing bits and pieces of it here and there. I'm so extremely proud of it and where my art is going, and I'm excited to debut it at Megaplex this coming month, because ... I'M DEALING! A real bonafide dealer! Come see me!

🗺️ SO WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF CIRCUITS & SORCERY?

Well ... there won't BE a Circuits & Sorcery, let's preface that. This is a name I've honestly held onto a little too fastidiously over the past few years, and one that I feel doesn't really reflect who I am as an artist or person.

Alleviating this debt will allow me to pool more money into my business and freelancing and potentially even make this work full-time as I'm still tentatively job hunting out of an abundance of caution, though I've sworn off night jobs & food service. I need to feel human.

All money sent will go directly to paying off my car which has a very cool 370 still owed. Peep the new goal over on my page! Whether or not the goal is met, I'll be able to pay her off with my accrued PTO, but I had people ask to help. And I need to get better at accepting it.

‼️ Didn't wanna plug my Ko-Fi as I never feel like I need help "enough," particularly when I have people looking out for me, but I'll acquiesce and share this as the primary way to support me right now as I get all the clerical work set up for freelancing.

I FOUND IT!!! By LupisDarkmoon!!!

HOLD ON!!! I actually tamed this beastie YEARS ago and ended up getting some art done of him for my hunter 🥺 I wish I still had it ...

🏚️🐀🔥"Fire escape? More like fire suggestion!"

This week's highlight: a goblin-run apartment complex towering with junkyard charm, sketchy wiring, and just enough questionable plumbing to violate a few safety codes!

Built by @kitchegoldwatt.bsky.social with love, grime(maybe crime), and expl--.. 🔥

I'm not feeling good about it. This isn't a good thing. But I can't do this anymore.

Hey so — my decision is final. I'm quitting my day job. Expect to see things pick up around here I guess if you've been wanting art from me.

Corvux and I were discussing 'rubberhose' styled goblins so OF COURSE I had to draw them immediately :^)

Meg and I are going to go a little crazy and have cardboard cutouts for our dealer table and my husband had the absolute genius idea of making mine a “you must be this tall to ride” sign 👀

Planning on my boothing outfit and overall brand theming moving forwards for Megaplex and Meg suggested the genius idea of dressing up as the employee of my own theme park, which means I finally get to live out my carnie dreams.
