Ok, it's been an intense few weeks. I've been caught up in a spiral of problems arising from the circumstances, but life has to go on and the bills have to be paid and as of now, they're behind. The rent is long overdue and we have until Friday to cut a check.

So on to the first order of business; as of this moment, I am re-opening commissions, and to help pick business up, I'm offering a free picture to a lucky winner this week.

Every person who re-posts this journal and comments below will receive a raffle ticket, which will be listed below. Anybody buying a commission between now and Saturday 10th November will receive one free ticket for every $5 (s)he spends, so if you buy a sketch, you'll get 2 tickets; if you buy a full color picture, you'll get 10 tickets.

The prize will improve based on how many commissions I sell over the next week:

$0-300 - Lineart of your choice (up to 2 characters)
$301-600 - Flat colors of your choice (up to 2 characters)
$601-900 - Full color of your choice (up to 2 characters)
$901+ - Two full colors of your choice (up to 2 characters each)

Total so far: $100

The raffle winner will be decided on Monday 12th November, by a random draw, and will be contacted by note shortly afterwards.

The next order of business is about a character I've been working on for the past few days. I'll let the submission speak for itself rather than go on about it here but he is UP FOR AUCTION!

Much like the zebra/horse hybrid I sold off some months ago, I'll be posting him in my gallery and opening bid, only this time there will be a reserve of $100. If the bids don't reach at least that amount before the auction ends, It will not sell at all and I retain full rights.

But gauging his popularity regardless, I will likely feature him in YCH (your character here) auctions afterward. I'm sure those would sell just fine. |3

Stay tuned for more updates as my time permits.
