i made a carrd.co so you can see all my info and other websites you can find me at in one handy page, and also a little blurb on my sci-fi setting, for now

life updates:

> i live in kentucky now
> the food scene is great but it's very lonely
> continuous, chronic exhaustion

Here I am again. It's been over a year now, huh?

I'm no longer taking commissions, obviously (although I guess I never announced that here). I really just don't feel capable of managing the work at this time, in my current state... I intend to finish what I've got, but I offer full refunds to my existing clients regardless.

I moved to Ohio in June last year, and I've been here ever since. Life has been tiring, better than in Cali, but tiring. I'm so exhausted these days. I've been traveling a lot, too... on the flip side, by this point I can say I've at least driven through 20 US states, overnighted in 14, and stayed or lived for some time in 7. I've visited Chicago several times by now, and it's lovely - and incredibly striking when you reach its skyline, compared to the SF Bay or LA... the skyscrapers really go on for miles. Deep dish pizza is good as hell by the way.

I've reworked my fictional worlds a lot. Alsiverse no longer exists separately from Okanverse, and the Alsifer star system itself has been integrated with Okanverse, so I mostly just call it Okanverse now, and I've been working hard on elaborating its history. I'm tired of just drawing concepts, I want to write characters with life.

Okanverse, itself, is still just a temporary title.

The premise of this world is that a motley bunch of transhuman spacers in the plausible midfuture (2300s-2500s) are abducted from our universe by a semi-accident. (It so happens that they're mostly furries, and mostly gazelle-folk on top of that, but nobody said it had to be a widely representative sample!) It turns out that, previously invisible to humans, a multiversal war has been brewing between great hyperadvanced societies, and the chaos that ensues leaves countless worlds uninhabitable on the level of fundamental physics...
but our spacers are lucky, finding themselves whisked to a relatively stable new universe, and even permissive to many kinds of previously unknown physics. By the current day, they've managed to expand into the multiverse themselves, creating a burgeoning society where differences in physics between universes are exploited for social benefit and economic gain.

I'll post the history in a writing submission... I'm pretty pleased with myself so far. I aim to create comics and a tabletop setting, and video games...

I've also now properly lived through my first snow season. It was quite nice, really. I got a lot of pretty pictures and also skidded my car out of a barely missed crash. Exciting!

I'm on Twitter now, at twitter.com/AccelerandoGoat . It's much easier to reach me there than here.

EDIT: Apparently deviantart decided to delete ALL of the fucking captions on my fucking art again! JOY! So if you want to actually see what I wrote to accompany my art, you'll really need to check my tumblr or my furry artsite presences. Deviantart is incredibly frustrating and badly coded fucking rghhrgh

I don't really use this place much, obviously...

I try to check in every now and then, but it's hard and I don't get much of an audience on here, and fumbling through the site's rather clunky, bloated interface to upload art or do anything is a hassle on my potato PCs. That said I appreciate the people watching me on here and who've contacted me before... I have Discord for instant messaging these days, for anyone interested. You can also try reaching me by email at my general contact address (erin.spacegoat@gmail.com), but I don't do personal contact via email much.

I'm mostly on my Tumblrs these days, which is the easiest place to access all of my art and writing and stuff in general... Accelerando is where I put all my sfw art, worldbuilding, n other things. If you're interested in my work and especially Alsiverse and other sci-fi projects you might consider following me or at least bookmarking the blog. (And you can find my lewd art at Accelerando-Afterhours. 18+ only)

To give a bit of a life update, I'm moving out of state to Ohio in a few weeks to live with my dear friend Fendony angelcoded or see her gallery on weasyl. My future is... uncertain. Lots of things are stressful, I have a liver disease, dental complications that necessitated a lot of fillings this past winter but at last I'm not going to be living the fuck alone anymore

Please consider at least following my Tumblr web presence, you don't need an account to see all of my things. Sometimes I allow anonymous (including unregistered) users to drop notes in my askbox as well

Here's hoping to connect better with yall

For deleting nearly every single one of my descriptions and forcing me to re-edit them in. For a website that has special-made tools specifically for batch submission, this is the worst site I've ever used to batch submit art.

Anyway! Hi, I'm not dead! You can find me more often on my art tumblr at accelerando.tumblr.com/ .

I'm still here, sort of, mostly watching the little realistic-SF scene. Sorry for the long absence again. Life's been a heck.
