I have returned!
14 years ago
Hi there! I had sort of an unexpected hiatus, first due to NaNoWriMo then simply laziness and a disagreeable computer.
I want to commission an artist for a gift! I'm looking for someone who can do both anime-ish humans and anthros with chubby characters, and who isn't too overscheduled for the rest of the year. I don't need it done by Christmas, just the end of the year would be best. I don't want to spend much over $20 for both characters, but it doesn't have to be coloured (or even inked, really). Please comment if you or someone you know can fulfill these criteria :3 (I can also do an art trade, but I might feel bad if my work isn't at the same caliber as the comissionee.)
So, updates on the fascinating world of Sunshine! New glasses, had a new dog for a week but he wasn't a good fit for us, got to the semifinals of a little mini Lego Mindstorms robot competition without a working brick to hold the code, didn't finish my NaNoWriMo in time but I plan to continue the story, got all As. So now, a meme!

What sort of artist would you most identify yourself as?
Learning, experimenting, giving up and writing instead.
What would be your secondary identity?
Writing. It's my stronger talent, but I draw more often because it's easier.
What forms of art do you dabble in, but don’t excel at? (Keep in mind: this can change!)
Furry, pixel art, ponies, zentangles, acrylic painting, oil pastels, markers, sewing. Just about everything I draw can be considered dabbling.
How would you describe your style?
Yet to be fully found.
What medium do you favor most?
For writing, pencil or colourful pens. For drawing/painting, most paints, mechanical pencil, or brush pens.
What are your favorite subject matters?
Furry, ponies, cute things, abstract things.
What are your least favorite subject matters?
Horror combined with cute, or actual porn (not just tame fetish art).
List your artistic strengths.
Good sense of colour, good at choosing clothes and patterns, soft lines, making things cute.
List your artistic weaknesses.
Straight or harsh lines, making things serious.
Which of the above contents would you like to see improved?
Both, enough that I can work out more of a personal style.
School/Training you’ve received in the arts?
None except some very memorable art and english classes in elementary school.
School/Training you’d still like to have?
Any sort of arts, something psych/soc related.
Would you consider yourself a ‘prolific’ or a ‘quality over quantity’ sort of artist?
Quality over quantity. I have a lot of thoughts jumping around, but little time or inclination to get them all out quickly.
Would you consider yourself a Commercial or a Fine Artist?
Hmm, neither, really.
Where would you like to be in five years?
Somewhere doing something that makes me happy.

Anyway, in more important matters, it's good to see that you're doing okay. Good work with the Mindstorms competition. At least your glasses give you a whole new way to see the world.
Also, our real competition is going to be an actual, gigantic robot made from scratch (plus the kit o' electronic parts you get so that the playing field is even). The Mindstorms thing was just for fun. We're having something of a build season Mardi Gras this week, so we can goof off before we have to sit down and build this thing in six weeks. I'm so intimidated by that, and having school on top of it. At least I have about 60 teammates who feel the same way, and no individual is responsible for everything.
Good luck with the giant robot. Just be sure to leave off the death ray.
When you're depressed or guilty or just plain fatigued from anything, that feeling is even stronger. It's even stronger still when you have paws to sew and instead your sewing machine just wants to break every other time you step on the pedal. When things work out and when you want to do them never seem to quite match up.
I know what you mean by when you want to do things not matching with when you can do things. There's always something getting in the way. The sleeping is okay, but the eating gets old fast.
