So what did happen? I didn't see a journal on her part. Probably missed it.

I'm kind of curious/worried myself.

There was no journal on her part. I'm still in shock, and grieving, so I'd rather not talk about it directly. But yeah.. sorry about the sudden notice. It was a surprise for me, too. :<

Taijii filled me in. Its cool. I understand what you are going through. Sorry I never got to tell her watch cool work you two were doing.

Sucks that I will people have to be such arrogant assholes. Now no one will ever have the opportunity to purchase such fine work again and show her the respect she deserved.

I also apologize for that last comment. I posted that before I was told.

Thank you. <3 And it's alright.. no one is being very talkative about it (probably for all the same reasons), so I don't blame you for not knowing.

That's a shame. I do hope things get better.

Well, I may be able to find another colorist, but unfortunately Aheria and I will no longer be able to work together. Sorry again for the short notice.. it was a surprise for me, too. :<

I'm really sorry things like this happen to good people. If you want to talk, just note me. I've lost someone dear to me before as well and didn't find out till a week later... I've also seen someone die before my eyes.. I'm sorry again. Ill chase off any trools if you need me to.

Thank you. I've lost other dear friends, too, so I know how to deal with it by now. But thank you for the thought. <3 I really appreciate it.

And I'll be sure to point you in their direction, should they happen to crop up. <3

-hugs you tightly- don't push yourself. That's all I can say. I wish I could do more, but all I can do is be here for you.

I can pick up a handful here and there if you need help coloring.

Aheria and I have drifted apart in the last few years, but we were friends once.

I would be willing to pick up coloring for some of your orders if you'd like.

...oh dear.

Yes. I'm sorry you won't be getting the icon you expected, but... it was a surprise for all of us. :<

the bastard who cares more about the icon than... that...
what kind of messed up person are they. for all I care I don't need a free icon. take me off the list if you want.

*hug* Thank you. <3 I'm still going to try to work through the ones that we had already planned on doing, at least the lineart part, but it may take a while to get there.

I second him. If this is too much for you right now, please feel free to remove my free icon from the list. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and that she find rest and peace in the Beautiful West.

don't rush yourself hun take the time you need

*LOVE* Thanks. And thanks for being online to talk to, earlier. <3 I really appreciated that.

I'm just glad I could help some

*snug* You did. <3 Though I still can't believe it actually happened. It feels like some terrible dream, or a bad joke. :<

yeah I know -hugs tight- I think everyone needs to just try and get some sleep, as hard as that's gonna be

Yeah.. you're probably right.

While interested in the sudden change, more worried about your fatigue. Time for a break? Well, you aren't under our whip and chains.(Which I can always change if you like. <3) Take it easy.

Oh, don't worry about me. I take breaks when I need them. <3 Thank you for the concern, though, and I'm sorry again for the short notice. It was a shock for all of us. :<

Ah... Still not sure what we are shocked about.

Aheria is no longer with us.

Ah, I understand perhaps. No additional question asked.

I can color my own, it's no problem...as for what happened...I'm sorry and I don't blame you for needing time off at all

*hug* Thanks. <3 And thanks for being so understanding about all this. ;.; *grateful*

So sudden, I wish she had said something...anything -.- I hope things look brighter soon <3 Take care!

So the rumors are true. :( And just after I got an icon from you two...surreal. I thought everything was going well.

Note me if you ever want to talk about anything.

Yeah.. I just got off the phone a little while ago with boxhead, one of her roommates. It still doesn't feel real to me.

And thank you. <3

It really is a horrible shock. I got the news late morning/early afternoon and still haven't recovered. The worthless shitheads trolling her page make it that much worse.

Box tried to tell me at 4am. just... afterward. But I was asleep, and then at work. So I only found out a few hours ago. It's... just not... I don't even know where to start. ;.;

Me either.

Oh, dear, sweetie. I hope you're OK, and I hope that you got the donations. Sorry you're going through this on such a big project and so soon in.

I'll be fine. Thank you, though. <3 And I got my half of the donations, yes. I... just wished she had talked to someone. :<

My comment seems a bit harsh now that I know what happened. I wish the best to you and yours. *hugs tight* I'm really sorry to hear about this.

*sighs, and offers hugs* Your AIM away message is... well, I presume it'd be best to call it the biggest understatement in the world.

*HUG* It's the best one i had on hand, and didn't particularly feel like making a new one. :< Gets the point across, at least.

*more hug* Sorry I won't be able to give you the caliber of art (at a speed you deserve) worthy of your donation. :<

I can certainly understand that for the message. You have other things on your mind than how to say you're grieving.

And... while you probably don't have access to the note I sent along with the donation, I didn't do that for the art: I did it because the generosity you two were planning was so great I felt like saying thank you for all those who couldn't or didn't.

*more with the hugging* That you'll soldier on in this is... well, I don't really have the words to say what I'd like, so I'll go with "brave".

I can wait for color if it's an issue, I'm terrible with graphics programs or else I'd try it myself.
Waiting is no trouble, I have patience, fishing teaches you how to be patient.
;p

Thank you for your patience. <3 I appreciate it greatly. I only hope I'll be able to provide an appropriate reward for it. ;.;

I'm sure whatever I get will be appropriate enough.
Just getting an icon to use is a reward itself.

Oh...that's disappointing. She seemed so excited when she informed me of my icon, too.

Oh well. The longer I wait, the more rewarding it will be for being patient. :3

She was really excited about your icon. As am I. It was my favorite out of the ten that I sent her that day. (Possibly my favorite out of all of them so far ^.^;) She may actually have colored it, but I have no way of finding that out, at the moment, as her computer is not in my possession. I'll be posting lineart for all the icons I've done, though, so you'll be able to judge for yourself. <3

Alrighty. Thanks very much. If you can, please send her my regards! I certainly hope she's okay.

I would if I could, but that's.. not exactly an option, at this point. :< I'm still in shock, and grieving, so I'd rather not talk about it directly. But yeah.. sorry about the sudden notice. It was a surprise for me, too. :<

Sorry to hear this. If I were any better with my digital work I would offer to help you out any way I could.

For now though I think you need to focus on getting better. Take care.

Thanks, I appreciate the thought. <3

And don't worry about me. I've been in worse situations. But thanks for that, too.

Still, hope it all works out for you

I'm really curious as to what happened. this is such a shame. :c

Yeah. Sorry for the short notice. It was a surprise for me, too, and I'm still in shock/grieving, so I'd rather not talk about it directly. If you really want to know, go take a look at Aheria's shouts. :<

oh... whoa..
this is an absolute shock, holy hell
so many questions just flood my mind, y'know?
;__; nnnggh. I was never really super close with her but ive known her for years, she was one of my very first active watchers back when I was a reeeeallyy bad "new to the fandom"-type artist
she was always so supportive, and seemed so upbeat and cheerful all the time

I can't really find the proper words, I've always been bad with these sorts of situations
but damn... I hope you're okay, for what it's worth. absolutely no rush on the icons, I'm sure everyone else would say the same. anyone rushing you or pressuring you about it under these circumstances deserves a punch in the face. >:I but I'm almost certain no one will be a jerk about it.

Me and my mate are more than willing to wait as well. I'm more concerned that you are ok. Things will get better just keep your chin up. You can take as much time as you need

*hugs tight* I had just started talking with her over yahoo a little, this is a shock to everyone I'm sure. :/

I'm not worried about the icons or anything. If I knew how to shade well I'd offer to help color for you, but alas I suck at shading and I'm slow with art. Though I doubt that's even something you're worried about for now.

Wish I could do something to help. Hope all goes well though.

don't mind if things are not colored. Hope things get better for you

I'm not sure what happened, but best of wishes in these troubling times.

I am terribly sorry to hear what happened...
I wish I could help you out during this time.

Oh my god.... I-I just watched the two of you a week ago. I... Wow. I am so sorry...

*Hugs* I'm sorry.. Things like this should be happening to such great person. It's quite unfair..

I´m so sorry to hear that. Hope you´re doing ok.
As for the icons, I could lend a hand coloring them if you want.
I´ve known her for a while, even if I didn´t spoke to her... She was one of the first people that watched me, and I had her watched and I saw all the improvement she did...

I didn't knew her, just watched you both very recently, but I'm sorry to hear about her passing. My condolences and prayers goes to you and her family and loved ones.

May she rest in peace and be cared for by the Goddess, and, when the time comes, you two will be reunited.

As for the icons and stuff, take all the time you need, they are the least important now.

I just found out.. I hope you'll be well, and such.. take yer time..

Oh, fffft. My best of thoughts and vibes are headed your way right now D: *sends many vibes*

I'm very sorry for your loss.

If you need help coloring, I'll be happy to help as well.

i may not be anything like the colorist your dear friend was but i would be happy to help color icons for you as my little donation seeing as i have no money;;

examples of my color stuff are here http://shadowkira555.deviantart.com/art/KOW-Batch-1-HALF-246185012 , but i can easily change styles to have the textured look too like this http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6309807/

let me know hon i'd be glad to help.

i am sorry for your loss


i am no great colorist meself, but if you need some help let me know!

My condolences. Take your time, I don't mind at all if the icon isn't colored.

As a personal friend of Aheria's, I'd be willing to help color some of the icons to help you get rid of some of that stress. Let me know if you'd like any help. ::Hugs:: Examples are in my gallery.

I'm so so sorry this happened. I am happy and free to do any coloring you might need to get these current batches out in light of what's happened.

I think everyone will understand <3 I would even understand if you stopped completely, but it looks like a lot of people are stepping up to help color so there's that! This sort of thing isn't at all easy to comprehend, so I hope you can find your peace with it.

My sympathies go out to all who knew her, especially her family and friends.

I offer my condolences to you and everyone else affected by this.... if you need any help, I'm quite willing to color anything you need help with.
