Help Needed Please!!!
Posted 7 years agoI'm going to get straight to the point, I have recently been served with custody papers for my daughter and I'm struggling with the fact that I must now hire a lawyer. I'm a single mom on disability with low income so I don't have thousands of sailors and my ex has just married a woman who's pretty well off so they know getting a lawyer is going to be hard for me. My daughter just turned 5yrs old and has lived with me. He has seen her only twice in those few years and rarely calls, I've even tried getting him to stay on a call schedule with her and offered she go visit over summers which he can't agree to bc he has no job and now has moved to a state where my child and I knows no one. My child is perfectly healthy, never misses a meal, is up to date on shot records and never misses a well check through her doctor, WIC or dentist. She's got her own room, toys, goes to school, is top of her class, well socialized and has received an award each quarter with her report cards for various goals like Good Citizenship and Perfect Atendance. And there is definitely NO physical or mental abuse or mediate danger to her and I have all the paperwork and evidence to prove I'm a fit mother....so why he's doing this I honestly don't know, most who know my situation see it as a power trip. So I really need your help.....
***OPEN FOR COMMISSIONS***
I'm trying to raise money to hire a lawyer so I'll be open for ALL commission types! Smaller ones like cards, badges and chibis have a much quicker turn around time then full body and illustrations but I always keep my clients updated on progress.

Unlimited Chance at Free Art
Posted 9 years ago Here's your chance to get free art from me.
Sometimes when I'm unable to draw the stuff I want (or should) I prefer to draw at least some gift art to relax myself again. There are so many adorable characters out there. Drop me some references here and I'll see what I can do. Quality will differ, I can promise that already. It can be everything from a simple sketch, to a lineart, a headshot, a badge, a flat colored drawing or even a fully colored piece. It's up to me how much I'll draw and when I'll draw. It's also up to me which characters I choose, but don't be sad if I don't pick yours. =)
These will most likely be SFW but I'm open to taatful nudity too. Give ideas of things you like/dislike with your ref post.
THERE'S NO REAL DEADLINE, 'CAUSE THIS INITIATIVE WON'T END UNTIL I'M NOT ABLE TO DRAW ANYMORE! (Or until I say it ends)
So you may post references in this journal even after months and years.
Good luck everyone! =)
Here are some rules:
- I'm not going to draw anything I'm uncomfortable with which is basically the same things on my DOS and Don'ts list in my commission info.
- Also please don't post references of characters of your friends. I know it's an act of friendship, but if someone would like to get some art from me he/she should tell me so by him/herself. ;/
- Requesting me to draw your character together with your boy- or girlfriend's character might decrease your chances to get drawn, because I choose people by how interesting their characters are for me. :')
- Don't ask for commissions here
- Don't send me your references via note, unless you want me to forget them after a while. :'D
- If you don't want me to draw sexual content you should tell me so. If you're OK with taatful nudity too please specify in the post.
- I prefer drawn, colored references. NO descriptions please!
- I like all kinds of OCs, fursonas, species ect so don't hesitate based on that but I'm not too fond of humans.
-I love colors, markings like spots and stripes, wings ect so if you think your OC is over the top or unique please don't hesitate.
-If you have more then one OC that YOU own then you may post it, DONT post anyone else's because I will check before drawing it.
Thanks everyone and again good luck!!!!

Happy New Years 2016
Posted 10 years agoHey everyone hope you all are having a great new years!!! I'm starting off mine with a fresh start in a new home with new friends and goals in mind. I'm so excited for this year and all it has to bring!
My goals-
1. Make new friends here in Alabama and become more active and social within the fandom. I was never really a part of AZfurs so I'd really like to change that and go to more meets here with the ALfurs. I'd also really love to go to a con whether it's a furcon, anime, comicon or renfest. I used to do this every year before I met my daughter's father but then I stopped....i think Butterfly would enjoy them too!
2. Figure out what I want to do with myself here, weather it's go to school, work or whatever I decide makes me happy. I feel I'm in a much better environment here with it being more positive and having more support in whatever I choose. My daughter and I are much happier already so its a great start.
3. Better my art and portfolio! I'm already working on offering new types of commissions including badges and toned sketches. Also need to expand my portfolio for myself but also for school or work. I need to go back to some realistic work on human and animal portraits, still life and cityscapes/landscape perspective. I'm excited about these changes and hopefully don't overwhelm myself.
I think I'll keep it to these 3 for now so I don't go crazy with a million different thoughts. Thank you everyone for all your love, respect and support through everything I've gone through and everything I will be going through in the coming year. I'm so happy to be blessed with such great friends and family to surround me with positive energies to keep me focused and on track to success. Happy New Years my friends, make 2016 your year to shine!!!

Its Official
Posted 10 years agoBig Life Update and Changes
Posted 10 years agoOK so I want to announce a very big, life changing decision I have recently made for myself to all my family and friends and I really hope I can get nothing but love and support afterwards.
I have been very stressed, lonely, depressed and overall unhappy with myself and my life for the past year. I've been stuck in a rut and I need things to change drastically. I've been very unhappy with not only myself but my surroundings as well, and I need a serious change in perspective bc I can't do my life like this anymore. Its not fair for me but also not fair to Raylynn. I don't want her to see mommy unhappy with life and not do anything about it. So my decision is...I'm moving!! I've thought long and hard about this, for the past 6 months in fact and I feel like moving will be best for me. Where to you ask? Alabama! I love it there!! I love the people, the small community, the weather, the greenery ext. I need change and I really know in my heart this is the move I need to make. So its final, I'll be moving to Alabama in October and I'll be going to school there too, hopefully enrolling for spring semester.
I know some may think its out of the blue for me to say this but its not, if you really know me you know I've been throwing the idea around in my head for awhile now just was too scared to leave home or what my parents would think. But really when I decided to make the leap and tell them they both were very supportive and told me they just wanted me to be happy which is the best response I could receive. Same with my besties and my ex! So I hope everyone else can be happy and understanding for me on this too bc I'm still very nervous but also excited to close an old chapter in my life and open up a new one.
I think I'll try to have a going away party or dinner of some kind to say bye to everyone too! I love my family and friends and thank those of you I've already told so much for being so understanding and supporting my decision. Its going to be hard saying bye but there's always Skype and facebook, and I'll definitely be coming back to visit as often as I can. I love my Az home but its time for change, I'll be welcoming my new sweet home Alabama soon enough lol

Happy New Year!!!
Posted 11 years agoHappy New Year to all my furry family and friends!!! Bring on 2015 I'm so ready to put 2014 behind me and take on the new year with an open mind and heart and my head held high!!
2014 really sucked for me!! I was left heartbroken and abandoned by my mate of 4yrs, became a single mom and forced to move in with my parents. My siblings no longer speak to anyone bc of family drama so I haven't seen any of my nieces and nephews, not even for birthdays or holidays. I had 2 beloved family pets pass away and now my grandpa went blind and is deing of cancer so he is now living with us as well making this tiny household stressful and crowded for my daughter and I potencialy forcing us to move out......UGH!!!! Like I said SO glad its over!!!!
But on the bright side it really wasnt ALL that bad. I became much closer to a few friends including
who has been my go to for consistent love and support through all my heartache over the past year. Kudos to him for being such an amazing friend, always there when I needed comfort or advice without hesitation. I also went and had myself an amazing vacation with my bro
and the rest of my Alabama family. It was so great I can't wait to go back!!!
So as for my goals or new years resolutions my big ones are going back to school and moving back out on my own. These two I'm already working on! For my daughter, the adventures of potty training begin lol luckily i have done this before with success but every child is different. Wish me luck on that one lol. Also a few things to better my art business. I got a new scanner for Xmas so that will greatly help with my traditional art quality and I'll also officially be offering digital commissions and nsfw art. How cool is that!?
I have some things to work on but I'm very excited about everything 2015 has to offer me like a fresh new start and new chapter of my life. I'm sure there will still be ups and downs, good times and bad but I'm ready for it all. As a single mama dragon with her precious baby Butterfly I will try my best to make this year better then the last for both of us!!! I really hope you all have a fantastic year! I love you fuzzbutts!!!

RIP Spicy :'(
Posted 11 years agoRIP Spicy! You were the sweetest, smartest and all around best dog I've ever had! You made the past 10yrs more joyful with you around always snuggling me when i was sick or helping my take care of all the babies. You had a very full and happy life. You will always be in my heart and memories and I hope you are running free and happy now free of any pain or sorrow. I love you Nanny Spice!!!
Thank you so SO much to everyone who donated to the funds I needed to lay her to rest. Mom and I took her in yesterday evening. The place we went to was very nice, it wasnt cold or sad it was very warm and comforting. We got our own room and Spicy got her own warm bed and blanket. The vets were extremely nice and comforting and very simpathetic. They even gave us a clay plaque with Spicy's name and paw print in it. She was comfortable as she took her last breath....and went quickly and easily.....thank you again everyone for all your support with this! It really means a lot to me and my family. To those who donated I owe you!!!

Need Help Please! :'(
Posted 11 years agoSo I have to put my dog down in the next like 3 days.....my family is so heartbroken its terrible. Spicy has been with us over 10yrs and she's been the sweetest and most loving member of the family we've ever had. But she is very sick...she has dropped so much weight and my vet friend checked her out telling us her stomach is distended and she has cancer. We can tell she's in pain now and has literally lost her mind, wondering around the house standing in corners all confused....I'm in tears typing this :'(
So my family is really broke and its going to be $200 to put her to sleep. I don't want to just drop her off at the Humane Society like she's nothing.....so was wondering if I can possibly get help from friends to donate a bit to help. I really hate asking and have never done this before but I don't want her to suffer anymore then she has already. I will even do art for anyone that can help, no amount is too small every lil bit helps. Thanks to anyone that helps out or even shares this journal, I'd really really appreciate it!

Life Update
Posted 11 years agoFirst off my vacation went great! Butterfly and I had so much fun sight seeing and trying new foods Hehe and just time away from home was nice and relaxing. Took my mind off of the stress and drama going on back home with my ex and all that.
Speaking of which, now that I'm home my ex is being such a terrible person about everything. As soon as I got home he tells me he's taking me to court for visitation and custody....he's such a dumb ass and won't get a damn thing but maybe weekends. He hasn't seen this lil girl for 3mo and has no clue how to take care of her....smh oh well bring it on!
Other then my ex's drama things have been good. Getting ready for the holidays and then I'll be going back to school. Also got a new phone too. YAY! its nice! :)
Oh and if ya'll haven't noticed more art has been popping up on my page. Some old stuff mostly that I wanted to share but also coloring new art to submit too. Commissions are still open and I might be more open to doing adult work too if people are interested just note me.

Good News All Around
Posted 11 years agoSo to continue from my previous post about my bday i had alot of fun with my parents who bought me pizza for dinner and took me to the movies to see Echo which was really cute! Then that weekend went to see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes with my best gf hehe it was awesome fun.. I also had a vision appointment that day which is a big deal for me for those of you who don't know I'm legally blind and need a low vision specialis. I went in for a vision test to see if I would qualify for a new program that helps people with low vision learn how to drive using these special pair of glasses, turns out i passed the test!!! So i finaly get to learn how to drive, something i thought would be impossible for me to ever do so its exciting! Plus they will also pay for my new glasses and visual aids i need AND pay forr me to go back to school. Im so happy! Looks like a better future for me and my lil Butterfly! :)
Also i recently have been working on getting food stamps and cash assistence to help me out and was approved, also got Butterfly her insurance back since my ex was an ass and wouldnt put her on his bc "it cost too much"....asshole! So i feel good about that bc im getting alot of important things done and all without his help.
Next big thing is getting my wisdom teeth removed. Ive been needing all 4 removed for a few years but before my insurance never covered it...but they do now! So this Wednesday their coming out! Im extremely nervous bc i dont get any anesthesia just local numbing grrr. But i want this done before my much needed vacation to go see my bro
mistdancer next month. So wish me luck everyone!!!
So thats about it i guess, that sums up all ive been working on for the past month. So Many phone calls and appointments but its been worth it. I feel very accomplished and proud of myself for getting all this done for Butterfly and I. Love you all and a special thanks to one of my very best friends
sethtriggs for all the love and support you showed me through all this. I really appreciate your friendship dear! *hugs*

Birthday Wish
Posted 11 years agoWell my birthday is this Thursday the 17th and I have no plans to celebrate. I'm the type of person who loves to celebrate holidays and birthdays and when my plans don't go accordingly it really bums me out. I originaly invited a group of friends to the dine-in theater to see a movie with me but no one can go now which sux! Then i figured id go with my mom over the weekend but she decided to go with someone else...so that kinda pissed me off.
So my birthday wish is to have something special actualy happen and for someone to remember and cheer me up somehow. Ive been really down lately with family drama and feeling extremely unappreciated around my house. My ex is driving me crazy and its the first time in years ive been single so just kinda emotionaly drained.
I would love a pedicure bc my feet are ugly lol and a movie or sushi with friends. Id love to get a new tablet to do my art again and maybe art work of all my friends here i know would celebrate with me if they could lol that would be an awesome commission to do....purhaps next year. *sighs* i hope this week goes by fast. Sorry if this is kinda depressing. :(

Some Life Changes
Posted 11 years agoFirstly- Exactly a year ago 4-12-2013 born 8 weeks early at only 3lbs 11oz and 19in long on a Friday at 1:36pm my beautiful lil Butterfly came into my life. She was so tiny and perfect, no health issues and no complications, she was a fighter from the start. I was so nervous to hold her, to take her home and to care for her without nurses around to help especialy with a broken leg but she has grown so strong. That lil personality she developed, that smile, that giggle even her cries and tantrums i look forward to every day when i wake up. She has definetly grown into a Mama's girl! I will remember every single milestone and every first in this lil girls life bc their also my own. How can something so small change the lives of so many in such a big way? I have watched my lil girl grow from a tiny preemie to a chubby toddler and it all happened so fast. Through all the crying, late nights and diaper changes this lil one has given me more strength and helped me grow all in only 1yr. I cant wait to see what our future holds together but for right now Happy Birthday Raylynn! You are the most precious thing in my life and i love you so very much!!! ♥♥♥♥ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13275842/
Secondly- I am officialy a single mom....my mate broke up with me after 4yrs together and a child...he just told me he wasnt happy one day and said he didnt even want to try and fix it. I am beside myself...heartbroken and feel so alone and lost. I havent had much time to be upset though, it only happend a few weeks ago, and now im forced to move out of my apartment and into my parent's house bc i cant afford our place alone. He took off already with only a bag of clothes and tools for work, left me to deal with EVERYTHING alone. Im so stressed and frustrated with all i have to get done in only a few weeks bc my lease is up end of this month. I have to get rid of all my belongings aside from clothes and a few personal things like my art. I have to get rid of my cats too....which is extremely heartbreaking bc ive been trying and no one is offering to take them. So many emotions right now but im trying to be strong for my daughter and not break down, I need to focus on getting things done and settled so we have a reliable home. I have a great support system of family and friends but its still hard especialy when i have to talk to my ex....he's such an ass! Anyways im trying to keep positive as much as possible and hope for the best. I am strong and can do this with or without him, i wont give up on my daughter and our life so easily as he did. I will fight my hardest for this lil girl to be safe and happy no matter what!!!

I cant believe i havent posted anything since July....so i guess i should update my journals a bit First off MY health is actually doing alot better after 3 surgeries, several months of therapy, blood transfusios and hospital visits im actually told my knee has healed to 100% and my hip to 95% Im hardly in any pain now, walking with a can only part time and all i need now is a special lift on my left show bc after my surgeries my right leg came out an inch longer lol so im curently waiting for the shoes so i can walk normaly again. Other then that im doing great!!!!
Now for baby update! Raylynn is 9mo old now, sitting up, almost crawling and getting into EVERYTHING lol but she is doing great too! She had her first Halloween in which she was a pumpkin like i was for my first, she had her first Thanksgiving in which I hosted my first dinner and she got to try real food lol and she had her first Christmas in which of course she was spoiled hehe. All in all she is a happy healthy lil girl and im happy that i get to spend every single day with her. She even said her first word already which of course was Mama *happy shiro*
So I think its about time i get back into my art yes? Yes i think so!

2mo- Baby/Mama Update
Posted 12 years agoSo its been 2mo since the accident and my precious lil girl was born andd its been crazy busy with everything going on between her being home and my injuries but we are getting through it.
Baby- Well as you all know Raylynn was born 8 weeks preemie at 3lbs 11oz and 16in long. She's been doing great the whole time, never any complications or issues at all. She came home early after about 3 weeks (2 weeks after I got home) and its been nteresting adjusting to her while healing but we are managing. Over all she just got her 2mo shots on Friday (6 in total lol) and she weighed in at 8lbs 3 oz and 21in long. She's doing so good, gettin chucky too lol. She's already learned to roll over to her tummy and is staring to lift her head and push herself up on her elbows hehe I'm so proud of my lil girl she's such a fighter like her mama! :)
Mama- As for myself you all know I had broken my right leg in 2 spots and craked my breast bone. Well I came home a week later after the accident to do home health care which was hard but best for me at the time. I didn't want to stay in some rehab place with a bunch of old people lol plus I wouldn't have been able to see baby if I did. Anyways so I did physical therapy at home plus ha nursesin and out to check wounds and help with showers and cooking. I've gone trough so many people, nurses, councelors and doctors its crazy I'm so sick of all the appointments I've had to go to too lol but overall I'm doing pretty good. My breast bone is healed and I've been reaching every recovery goal I set for myself either on time or early. My knee break is healing perfectly but the hip is a lil off, my surgeon needs to go back in and fix it meaning another surgery for me but it won't be too bad bc I won't have to start all over again. I am now able to get in and out of a caron my own, walk with a walker, shower standing up and use my own toilet. These lil things most take advantage of but when you break a leg and have to learn to walk again you'll quickly learn to appreciate the lil things. I can fully care for baby on my own too I just can't travel alon bc I can't drive or carry her carseat.
So after 2mo we are doing great, still sick of the doctor appoitments but its better then not being here right? Lol I won't be doing my own artwork for awhile still especialy not digital bc I don't have a computer now but I'm posting commissions and might start some traditional and craft stuff. I hope everyone else is doing well and I miss people. Feel free to stop by and say hi *hugs to all* have a great summer furiends! :)

Updated Life Events
Posted 12 years agoSo wow.....where to start....
Well having my bro
mistdancer here was great but it unfortunatly ended horribly. On april 10th we went out to a movie and as we were coming home we got into a horrible car accident which I remind you I was 32 weeks pregnant in the front passanger seat, mate was driving and Mist was behind him in the back. We were going through a green light and some ass hole tried turning infront of us, speeding through the light to beat us accross.....he his my mates side pushing us accross the intursection and smashing my side into a firehidrent and took down the street lights. I got most the damage leaving my mate and Mist with a few bruises and stitches.....but I broke my femur on my right leg in 2 spots, cracked my breast bone and have seatbag and airbad laserations across my tummy and chest.
I was rushed to the hospital and they did surgery on my leg putting a metal rod in there I'm forever stuck with, this also caused baby stress and she was taken on the 12th. I didn't get to even see her for 3 days bc of how bad I was doing but luckily she is completely fine. Today is the first day I'm home after a week of healing, and starting to learn how to walk again.....let me tell you its the hardest thing to go through. I'm now in rehab and my lil girl will stay in the hospital nicu for another month or so.....I cry everytime I think about it but I'm so happy I took all thisdamage and my baby was unharmed. So now I'm jus going through the healing process.....I'm happy to be home with rehab staff in and out but its hard not having my baby with me especialy bc I couldn't actualy give birth to her.
Anyways I don't wana make this too depressing but here is the update, don't expect much from me on here for quite sometime other then maybe baby pix and a journal here and there. Hope everyone is doing well, love you all!

31 Weeks- Baby Update! <3
Posted 12 years agoSo to update you all since the last post was kinda depressing....
I'm 31 weeks now and had my check up. I gained 3lbs, I'm not swollen anymore and my blood preasure has gone back to normal. Best part is I got the results for the gestational diabeties and preeclampsia tests back, they were both negative! YAY Butterfly is still kicking around like normal and heartbeat is still strong. She actualy kicked my mate in the mouth the other night hahaha he was kissing my tummy and talking to her and she stuck a foot right in his mouth :)
Only thing I realy have to complain about is I'm still pretty stressed and hormonal lately and not getting much sleep, plus I got a cold that's lasted the past week so I've been irritable lol I'm getting beter though. I've been packing for our move a lot too so things have just been hecktic around here. My baby shower is this Sunday so I'm excited and tonight my bro
mistdancer is coming in by greyhound to spend the next few weeks with me so I'm hoping I can find time to relax and have fun lol. I can't wait to get all the moving done and over with so things can slow down a bit and I can relax and nest for awhile until Butterfly gets here. Kinda worried I'm gana go into early labor from moving but we'll see lol
