Before I hold it off any further... Might add more to it tomorrow, but for now:

First off, Confuzzled '16 was friggin great! Made me wish I was able to stay more than a day. Budddied up with baltocore the cute gabu guy, got to see the actual real Uncle Kage drink bottles of wine and talk about eye surgery, bought a hot dang commission from Killveous at dealers' den, saw a few cool motors, sketched a bunch of lewd shit throughout the day, then drove on back home! I really, really, really wanna get a room for the whole four days next time! All depends on how well things turn out I guess. A lot of the stuff I just yabbed about you can check out on my twotter page: https://twitter.com/valcat64

Second, there was that whole ordeal about finally moving house! Yes! Finally at a place with super download and, uh, decent enough upload. No-one seemed to get any lag or buffer issues with the two quickie doodle streams I did some weeks ago (except accidentally leaving my mic input off during the group call that one time sorry about that), so that's all well and good! Thanks to everyone who got a commish for those streams and helped a foofy kitty out!

On the subject, COMMISSION LISTS! A reset on the current list has been long overdue, but better late than never! I've been pretty busy and pre-occupied with other things lately, so commission work on this front has grinded to a halt lately. I had the amazing idea of advertising manga portraits to fundraise for my uni/college's anime society without setting a cap on the number of requests I could take. Got around 20 portraits to work on, and I'm about a third done, so been kinda snowed under by that, along with going to weekly tourneys and all the stuff to do for said society, plus going to J-Con for the weekend just gone. Free time's opened up again, so I can grind all this stuff out a lil better now. Just to say, got a few other things on my plate, so commission turnaround may not be very fast or consistent from here. As soon as I'm done working through this journal I'll go and re-jig the list, sort everything, etc.

To top it off, thanks ever so much to you rascals for sticking by this page that's been up for over FIVE YEARS now! The day I admitted to myself that I was furry trash was the day I signed up to FA, and found a place to express all the fantasies I never had the chance to before, and in doing so inadvertently killed my deviantart page to oblivion. As I kept going, goofing off on my animation degree, staying up till sometimes 6 in the morning cuz of RP's, grunting through the times of feeling like dogshit among incredibly talented artists, slowly but surely finding my groove, progressing from pokemon suit tf's to full-on pervy buttstuff... I came to discover that this was the stuff I was most passionate about, the stuff that'd attract the most mileage and success. All that gross pervy nsfw stuff! Again, I appreciate y'all for the love and support over this time, and look forward to an ever better Val another five years from now! :O

Peace out, punks! Time to get to work...
