olivine arc @ fat cat shirt + azem sweater in the works

thank you!! admittedly i'm still nervous the diagnosis might not be right but only one way to find out 🔥

when i am employed again You Will Know 🥺 i hope your slots get filled in the meantime

my inability to overcome my trauma quick enough has cost me my new job which sucks but also like! i still love art. maybe it's a sign to lean more into that, if just for right now.

it def ebbs and flows but bare min being able to put a name to what's making me freak the fuck out is a relief in itself, i just need to hope these are the right meds for the job now + i get as much possible out of my therapy and my own responsibility to try my best to not let it control me

i owe my obgyn my life and i'm so glad i could finally have insurance that could let me see her

turns out i had a bunch of undiagnosed issues that i can finally be medicated for lmao. doesn't excuse how i was treated but this is helping me heal a lot, i'm excited to show new art hopefully soon

If I gave weird vibes at the con last month then yeah sorry it turns out the stress of everything won out over the strength of the Xanax, so you guys didn’t do anything wrong

Hi, sorry for the absence. Taking some things that happened to me pretty poorly, despite therapy and time. Still working on commissions, thanks for your patience.

for example, there's no concrete idea whether we'd be paying $5k for merch costs for a con or ultimately $15k after all the changes in tariffs and de minimis flat fees and whatever the hell. it's not great.

i know a lot of policies are still up in the air but with how things currently are proposed, fat cat shirts would be impossible to make... we'd have to sell them for some stupid amount to even break even, let alone profit...

OMGGGGGGG it's so???? i love it, it came out so cute!!! what size did you print it at :0

chibi lilianne acrylic standee with parsley (her korpokkur companion) and a dancer job stone next to her

got my first ever lilianne custom standee charm just in time for the patch today!! 🌿✨ added in parsley and her DNC job stone to accessorize her a bit as well 🥹🫶🏻

art is by @olivinearc.bsky.social !

you ever crash out for three weeks straight in part because you had a very tight deadline in the first place

birthday, back to work tmrw

the shittalking after literally getting the refund they wanted (again, 3 weeks before their stated deadline) is a little baffling but honestly ppl can believe what they want to at this point

i mean i'm def never working with her again that's for sure LOLLLL

oh no sorry for the confusion, she delayed payment to start the com because they needed to pay for rent, but then hypocritically argues that it's fine that i lose her payment because i can make it up 3 months later. :(

while i was in my rights to enforce it she was so rude and unpleasant, and was, you know, still willing to finish it by h er GIVEN DUE DATE (and apparently still malding on her privtwitter post-refund) she's always been a hassle of a client and i just wanted to give her less excuses to fuss

never asked when the work should be started (they thought payment time was equivalent on baseless assumption), never requested any wips in the interim and yet was mad that was never provided either, just frustrating. "you'd make the money back at the con" cool you delayed payment for rent, too

had a client rage that their work (due march 25ish) wasn't done by march 8th and they want a refund because, even though i told them i could finish their work by then, they were upset i was also doing con art, and continued to complain multiple days later even after they were refunded the same day.

miss astra gets the special treatment #zenlesszonezero

she literally can't fit on my con display this is going to be so cringe

made aglaea for all 3 of her fans (me) and also because her and anaxa r hilarious #honkaistarrail

olivine arc (@olivinearc) Check out olivine arc's commissions and portfolio! | merch artist and elezen enjoyer ...

con season is in full swing workload wise + some VERY hopeful job news and my backlog is big enough that I know my limits but i can put a few more lil guys on the plate because they're not as strenuous as sketch sheets
vgen.co/olivinearc

not to be full of myself and count eggs before they hatch but i have some 99.9% chance of Big News where i'll likely close any requested coms very soon for a hot second both bc of previous obligations but also hopefully new ones!! while it'd be a wait you'd still make it into the system rn.

oh thank god i was worried i'd have to close my physical merch coms LMAO....

does anyone know if that $20+ flat service fee for international packages from ch->us is still a thing or did that get walked back too, i need to know for cms policy purposes

still debating poses but we're so back

when it comes to artist alley tables i wonder if there's a preference on things i can't fit on the display but could potentially bring with me... for example hsr gallagher charms. especially since i like to prioritize combo deals at the table and i'd have like ten+ hsr "on hand" but not shown...

thank you!!!! i'm leaning left just bc right is sooooo sad thematically but i'm also a sucker for pink 😭 ivantill will probs use their lil trading fig designs (with the animal mask/ribbon deco)
