I may be undead but not dead
15 years ago
I wanted to wait until I actually had something substantial to show in art or game announcements but unfortunately doesn't look like that. This message is to more or less show that I am not dead but just in hiding :D Figured at least put out a journal covering progress in work, commisshies and life, but not necessarily in that order.
So far in life thing are looking good for me and my roomies after getting over the financial hump of last year as I figure everyone else was or is going through. If you haven't already seen the post here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3380834 My hubby Rocko and I officially tied the knot (wow, just imagine how many had a dirty thought there) on the 1st of February though it would have been sooner but we had to wait for our certificate to come back in and that 's the official date on it. We still haven't had any sort of ceremony or party but we figure that can wait a month or so until schedules clear up, we know we love each other very much, any sort of party would be more to celebrate with friends and such.
For commissions, I'm sorry I've been lagging so badly my schedule has been stretched it's limits, I'd welcome the chance to just do some straight up drawing or painting for commissioning since it's very relaxing but I just need to grit my teeth and get through this last half of my last quarter. I have your places and will place the queue at the end of the post, if you're up soon and are having funds hard to come by please pm and I'm sure we can work something out. Once I start getting more time opening I definitely plan to continue doing commisshes and such and get that damned locker-roos story back and running considering there's so many other bad things I've planned for that bunny :D.
School is nearly over (only 6 more weeks if I pass XD) and my job at GoPlay Games (www.goplaygames.net) seems to be going well we're wrapping up production on my first game with them. I'm done with all asset creation, now it's up to the programmer to finish twinning all together and then for us to test it, it should be a week or so before it's off to apple to approve. Can't say much else about the title other than it's an airplane game, until we get the final go ahead from our clients. But I do know I'll be back on my journal to plug it pretty hard when it comes out :D
The best news with GoPlay is that we've already got two new clients that may want to work with us, we just need to make sure our concept docs we're sending back are enough to make them bite, we'll finally have enough funds to get salary, benefits and an office while working. So definitely keeping our fingers crossed there.
GoPlay is also going to be going to GDC in San Francisco this march, not their first year there but definitely mine, luckily years of con-going has in someway prepared me for this monstrous meeting of people. It'll be nice since my first year wont be one looking for a job but going with a company, still much to do there but at least the stress of finding a job atm is not there this time.
So all in all a nice change of gears if things are going well, if GoPlay lands these contracts I can finally leave the hotel and, omg, have my weekends back, and soon after be done with school meaning having me evenings back. It's been a 4 years of waiting and lots little stories in-between, but in the end I'm just really fuckin' excited to be working and getting paid to do art, something I though nigh impossible 4 years ago, so thank you to all that encouraged me on my art here over the years and keeping me at it! If you and I've made plans to hang out, play some games or eat and I've been slow to get to do it, trust me I'll finally be having time again to do so XD

Aw thank you so much :D and no prob I sent an email back about that, essentially with all on my plate atm I wouldn't be able to get something done in a timely manner anyhow, figured best to wait when my schedule finally cools down. Also, your stuff takes on a bit more precedence than artz so no worries, but thanks for letting me know :D
