Hello!
How is everyone coping? Hope you are all keeping as safe as you can. So, what is everyone doing during the lockdown? I'm still having to do work for university as we are now doing distance learning. Not the most fun aspect as the home can be super distracting to get any work done but I'm managing. I'm trying to do at least 7 hours of uni work a day to make sure I'm able to catch up while I take the rest of the time to do my artwork! Hope you have been enjoying my updates! I have written down silly things between my hubby, Lothar, and I because some puns and things are being said and let me tell you, some of you will enjoy, others will suffer like I am.

Thanks to the free time I'm finding myself, I will be continuing on some drawings and commissions while we are in lockdown.
I have finished a few, which have now been uploaded, and in between work I will be drawing some silly ones.

Now requests are somewhat open

As I mentioned, requests are open but there are conditions are in play. I will be taking ideas that you have and making silly little one-offs derpy exaggerated images. Now, this isn't one of that journal that has slots open and anyone can get them; this one is a touch different. Due to time differences and because I am working from home (university; not a paid job, lots of research and things to do) so I can't take as many requests so what will happen is that you will comment or send me a note if that makes you more comfortable an idea you have! If I choose the idea, you will be notified and I will ask for character references; but be warned if they are derpified, chances are they will look crazy! The ideas can be as silly or mundane as you like it to be! I promise if I like it I will make it mental. So just to make sure you know what you are looking at:

** They will be derp

** They will be flatly coloured sketches

**They must include Raye in this

**It is NOT first come first serve. By that I mean, as I mentioned in my previous journal, what you need to do is comment what you would like to see derpy wise and yes you can add your OC (at max 2 OCs because even though we were in lockdown I'm still having to submit papers and work to my university)

** Because of all the time differences everyone has it wouldn't be fair to make this first-come-first-serve, so what you will do is describe a scenario with your OC and if I like that scenario yours would be chosen and you will be contacted for any references

** Some funny ideas were mentioned in my previous journal, however, I'll no longer be doing them. Our community saw 3 COVID-19 deaths, one of the people I loosely knew through cosplay and con interactions, so I no longer find the Raye fighting the virus mentions to be in good taste, especially while our community is now reeling from these deaths. So, with respect, anything COVID-19 related will not be used in these scenarios

I feel that doing it this way allows people who may not be on daily as well as different timezones a chance to get a silly drawing to boost spirits. I have a few ideas I may be doing next. :3

Trades
I'm definitely wanting to do one with  astrofenn If she is willing :D
At the moment I'm not open, but keep an eye out for the journal. I may approach the trade as I did with the requests and do by the idea so I could give a chance for people who are unable to get the first-come-first-serve journal. Also, there are many amazing people out there working tirelessly either in the medical field, supermarkets, as cleaners and such keeping us safe. They will be very busy during this pandemic and I want to give them the opportunity to also be able to push their ideas through
