Life Updates, commissions, and the FBA
11 years ago
Wow, it's been almost a year since my last journal. Sorry about that guys, I hope you didn't miss me!
What am I saying, of course you didn't miss me!
So, I guess I'll start off with the life updates. My third year of university has ended a while back. It wasn't a great year, and has required me to take a summer course to keep my bursary next year. I'm still trucking along though. I'm living off campus this year, which means paying rent on a house all summer, which I am not fond of. But, oh well, live and survive, eh?
The summer is going well. I have a job for now, and it's decent hours, but I'm saddened by it as well. Last year, I had the same job in a different town, and I loved it, but this year, well, I'm do deep into artistic mode that I'm beginning to find the job soul-deadening. But . . . I need the money. As much as I wish I had the talent of amazing people like
Pac or 
adaoz and be able to make money off of art, I do not. And besides practice, which I am beginning to do again, there's nothing I can do to change that fact.
I shall be heading to Blizzcon this year. It looks like, despite our near-meeting last year, I may actually get to meet up with
Krhainos this year. If we can do it, it will be a huge pleasure.
Second topic: Commissions. I am still taking them. Drawings, sketches, or short stories. All on a pay what you think it is worth format, paid after completion. I am actively looking for any work you guys want to give me, it may help take some of the pressure off from my job, or at least make it a little less soul-deadening if I know I have artistic work waiting for me at home, eh? If you have any questions, feel free to ask them of me!
Third topic: The FBA. There are quite a few new followers that I have here, all from the FBA. Just wanted to say hey to you all, and thank you guys for the follows!
For those not in the know, the FBA, or Furry Basketball Association, is a fantasy furry basketball league created by
BuckHopper. I've entered into the draft this year with a pangolin character that goes by the name of Kevin Malka. You may have seen a few stories about him already in my gallery.
I still feel like I let Kevin down a bit. I created him last minute, since I only learned about the draft submission acceptance last minute. But, at the time, I had very little basketball knowledge, and as such, my descriptions of him were not great beyond "he's a very strong defensive player". Had I known then what I do now, I still think he could have been a shoe-in for the the Top 24. But, what can you do? That's in the past now, and all I can do is look forward and plan accordingly. I have story plans no matter what happens to him, if he is drafted, if he falls into D-League, if he doesn't even get into D-League. No matter what, I love this guy, and I won't abandon him.
Anyways, I'll try to do little journal updates more often. I miss just talking and venting a little like this.
Take care, guys, and enjoy yourselves, eh?
