Man. An update. Where do I begin?
5 years ago
General
[INCOMING TRANSMISSION...]
It's been since -May- since I'd last given an update regarding.. well.. pretty much of anything aside from art. Well; where do I begin?
---
I suppose since the last time I said anything worthwhile here, Covid happened. And is still happening. Wear a fucking mask. Please. Not just for you, but the others around you.
---
Second.. well; I finally got my car fixed. Fingers-crossed it doesn't fuck up again for a while. The Firebird has been an utter money-sink for a while, and I'm glad I have both it AND its car-loan paid off. So.. hopefully smooth sailing from there.
---
I know I've been slow on posting anything here lately. If there's still people following me on this account that HAS a paid commission with me, PLEASE remind me in the comment section. I don't like it when I get messages regarding they've considered me a 'loss' on their part. No. If you've got something with me, I plan FULLY to finish what you paid me to do. If you want the funds you have given me re-allocated for a new idea of your choosing, that's fine. Same tier you originally got applies, though.
---
I do have some new stuff to post, including the first full-on reference of my main character / persona, Spaz / Ka'Tamra Ci'Karan.
---
Also; I've been doing my best to keep doing well on keeping my own personal health in check as well. Perhaps a side-effect of Covid going on, but I've cut out fast-food entirely, and have embraced a Keto diet as well as nigh-daily exercise. I have lost -considerable- weight as a result, and my drive to work has also improved. Most of my updates have been reflected on Twitter and my Website, however. I really wish FA would modernize or do -something- to bring it up to standards with the likes of Inkbunny (in terms of tagging / posting capability /etc.) Come the fuck on. It's 2020 and we still lack an ability to upload MP4s.
---
As always, I'm also trying to encourage those around me to do better as well. For themselves, for others. And not just aimless advice, either. Attempting to be constructive.. throwing about the possibilities of varying hobbies and activities, learning to craft a lifestyle from them. But unfortunately as I've been learning -- there are many who refuse the help.
---
With all of this out of the way, I hope everyone is at least doing okay and holding together. Times are definitely hard right now.. but I hope and feel we can turn things around. For the better. I love all of you.
Please be safe.

the Pontiac Firebird is my favorite car of all time!
(I am currently not sure where I have the files for that particular YCH stored.)
none of which are started yet to my knowledge
and yeah this year has sucked, but glad you're on the up
I don't think I had sent money for the second piece we discussed, so that can be cancelled if its easier. Regardless, hoping the best for you!
Best of luck, good to hear you're doing all right, all things considered.
This is an example https://trello.com/b/b9M2fhJP/waiting-list
But the website has a lot of tools to have a better use of it
The health shift is a very strong move, honestly, the easiest thing to do is stick with it. Fast food and such are loaded with addictive additives that make it so difficult to go back to healthy eating, but healthy eating in general is its own reward if you can stick with it. We have a vegetable garden in our backyard and eating our own vegetables has been such a boon, you never know what you're missing in flavor and health until you try growing your own. (I can't say I'd do the same for meat products, though!)
And trying to help others get up off of their butts and be constructive, that's a very agreeable habit. I honestly keep telling myself that I'm going to get back to writing, but then I look at the news or I get hungry or distracted by a menial chore or feel like I haven't played a game for two seconds. And of course, I'm surrounded by so many friends online. I kinda wish I could just sit on a park bench with a bag of chips and a bottled beverage and feel the wind and let it cleanse my mind and give me new ideas. Getting to a park is difficult though... maybe I should fix my bike so I can reach it easier.
Heh, just reading what you had to say there makes me want to get up and do more for myself. And that's what I told myself at the start of 2020 that I'd do, and then we know what happened. But while other people will let the sadness and crushing despair drag them down, I think what you're doing is very admirable. Please don't let the negative responses get you down. You're doing great, Spaz! ^O^
I am really excited for your full reference sheet! I'm incredibly excited for!~
Hrm... I do have to see about how to do the Keto diet more, though I have no real directions or what sources I can trust after googling Keto Diet, as there seems to be various methods that kind of makes me nervous. Though hearing that it does work really puts me up in spirits to give it a shot! ^-^ It may be the thing that'll keep me healthy and going, and probably get to the body type I am aiming for!
...And yeah. FA really needs to fix their site and modernize it honestly. It's getting silly at this point.
That's me!
I've paid for a commission from you recently!
