Well, it's December again. And as usual in December, I'm getting utterly exhausted at work, and dealing with various family and friend issues on top of it all, leaving me often feeling like doing nothing when I get home. Sorry to anyone who has messaged me and hasn't heard back from me in the last couple months.

However, I'm still going to try and do my December gift-giving. As I promised in my profile, I am opening up for a few requests, on both my FurAffinity page and my SoFurry page. If you'd like a special holiday present from me, this is your chance.

Here are the rules:

1. I will draw free (non-colored, simple) pictures for the first 3 people who post requests in response to my journal post on SoFurry, and the first 3 people who post requests in response to my journal post on FurAffinity. I will not draw two requests for the same person in the same year, so don't post more than one request.

2. I would rather give new people a chance at a request instead of drawing more art for people who have already gotten gift art from me. I'm not saying you can't post a request here if you've already gotten art from me, but try not to do it every single year.

3. Due to my extreme tiredness and busyness, I won't be able to draw colored art or art that is too complicated. I also don't draw anything involving gore or bodily wastes, and I don't draw rape or underage porn, but most other subjects are fine with me.

4. Tell me exactly which character or characters you'd like me to draw, and what they look like (link to reference pics if possible). If any of the characters are not yours, make sure you have permission.

5. All drawings are done with pencils on paper, so there will be a hardcopy original. Let me know if you'd like me to mail you the original (you pay for postage), or keep it in my portfolio, or put it up for sale on Furbuy and split the profits with you if it sells. (If you don't specify, I'll just keep it in my portfolio.)

6. After these requests are complete, I will be closed for requests and open only for commissions.

7. I will remain closed for requests until next December, when I will post a journal entry like this one and draw requests for the first few people who reply to it.

8. The rest of the year, I will be accepting commissions. For my commissions information, see my profile.

Requests (sorry to those who didn't get in! I wish I had time and energy to draw for all of you, but just three is already going to take me a while) :
