So the wonderful god of Breaks blessed me with a very high fever as soon as i finished my last test yesterday. I thought it was nothing this morning until I went up to look beautiful in the bathroom and almost threw up! So I guess I cannot get my groceries until this is through, not like i needed to add sick meds to my list of shit I need anyways.

So I was denying it until I picked up a thermometer and BOOM 102.6 GREAT JOB

I have one commission left to do, halfway done, but I just feel weak :/ I'll try to get through it if i feel better today. This is like, the best thing to get when I got finished with 15 weeks of hell. Like 2 years ago when i took Pink Eye with me when i came home for the first time. But at least I don't have to go out the house to fuck with allergies and sinuses. It's like, I'm dead cold from my feet and it gets hot up to my head.

For my departing note, whoever cures allergies for good, they deserve the best reward.



Dicks.

i've met my goal, thanks a lot! I'll be sure to get right on them after this school stuff is out the way. I'm so impatient though because i dont want people waiting on me D: *but spikes its just gonna be a fucking week or two like always chill the fuck down* but i wanna deliver quality in a timely fashion >:T

anywho, thanks alot!..again!

So I have some things to pay for involving my major and I don't have the money. And I need it by next week.
I need about $25 in order to prepare my projects So 1 sketch commission would cover some of it, but I'd be willing to take one or two more after that so it would be 2-3 commissions in total. I would need the payments by tonight or tomorrow if anyone is interested. The time estimate for finishing them is not certain since it's a week before -finals- week, but I'd guarantee that I would finish them as soon as possible if they're not near complete by the time school is done.

So for those that wanna help and buy one just comment or note me and we'll take it from there, but I would need the payment and final decisions by the end of today or tomorrow :x stupid art major.

This isn't the last time I'll do commissions for sure, I'll have it open over the summer definitely. The prices are >> HERE <<

PS, Make sure you mark the options in Paypal and go review 'em! More info is here incase you dont know what I'm referring to.

I'm leaving FA

april fools. why would i take the time closing an account i frequently use. if anything, i should delete my damn DA lol.

I just had Dr. Pepper and I love it

april fools just kidding it's fucking gross

I love adventure time and steven's universe

april fools again i don't

i'm just on a roll here with these filler journals
ok back to work. Leave any confessions here if you wish to be forgiven for your sins.

I got 5 slots right now, that was pretty damn fast hah
I'll be sure to get em done and open them up soon afterwards if people missed out. Thanks y'all!

FUCK THAT'S A LOT. I've been getting even more lately! D: I wish I can give y'all cookies but...that's a lot of fucking cookies.

So, here's the deal with the commission details. I'll have all of them open for a little while (and close them with a journal if all slots are met or time's getting hectic) and up to 2 characters max if that's wanted. Just Note me if you are interested and we can take it from there.

As a side note, I'm on the sidelines about the whole YCH stuff. It looks interesting, but eh. All of it is good art practice, though, so it's beneficial either way. I just need to line my ducks in a row and y'know. Eat'em. That's how the saying goes...

But thanks for the support and stuff! It means a lot and I'll host a party :D *confetties*

I'll be doing commissions over the break since i have nothing else better to draw. No ideas are flowing through my gorgeous art blocked mind and I don't wanna waste this precious week >:T so y'all can take its place...for now.

And almost 2,000 watchers. I've been getting a ton lately while I was on and off and that's a lot. Thanks! :D

But I'll be doing 2 slots at a time for this week. If you don't mind waiting for a while like last time, just comment on it here and I'll get back to you after finishing the first 2 people. I'd prefer to do single character commissions to make it flow quickly to the other buyer. If it's an absolute must to have multiple people, keep in mind I'm only going up to two people and it'll take longer.

Along with that, make sure you're marking your options on PayPal with that whole interface being changed. Sometimes it's marked on default for choosing the location to send the money when you just choose No Location or something like that. I'm seeing other artists get flustered and in complications due to that and refunding the money back to the commissioner. SO MAKE SURE!

Look at ^ for prices and things like that.

I'll accept a single character commission or boop icon for now since I have free time for the weekend.
Prices and Info are below
https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing

For those that are interested but missed the slot, that is fine-- I will try getting to the next person in line. Only problem is with projects here and there outside of FA, it will not go by smoothly. I will just get to the next person whenever my unorganized free time is available. So for those who do not mind waiting at all for slots to open or long durations, just leave something saying you're interested and I'll try getting back to you. I'm planning to have this done every weekend but i don't think it'll go so well so here goes spontaneous journals whenever I do have time XD

Sup y'all~ Hope everyone had a good holiday blast. I kinda didn't but I'm having a somewhat okay break u: Anyways, what is new? Well, not much. I updated commission pricing in the link below and will open that soon, hopefully next week for two slots before school starts. I will have a journal if I do, but if not I'll try to have one slot open at a time while school is in session. I'm so slow right now but I wanna take my time.

My birthday is in..5 days. Fuck, yes. I'm getting to be an older dragon, and I get to scold young people even more than I do now!
"Shut up Spikes you're in your twenties"
HEY FUCK YOU

Uhh, anyways, here's the updated price, it'll be on my userpage too and you can ask me a few things.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing
if it doesn't work i'll just post here.

Y'all better get me chocolate cake V:

Hey y'all. Officially on my christmas vacation and no fucks are given. More stuff might appear, and I see a whole lot of new watchers and stuff in my notifications, like, a lot. I appreciate it. So many @.=.@

I haven't been doing much outside of school shit, I got me that Smash(FEELING IT) and treated myself to Beautiful Katamari for my own Xmas present since I don't want anything. Now I'm getting minor things done since free time is on my side and I better use it. Next semester is going to involve projects- LOTS... I'm just glad I'm out of that polluted shitstain of an apartment I suffered in for 15 weeks, but knowing this break is literally a month, I think I can take another 15 weeks more of the bullshit with a possible chance of relocating. But that's a story for another day~

Spikes' lesson for today: Long story short, there's a LOT of stupid people in this world-- don't get roomed up with them unless you have patience, money to pay off a charge, and a pillow full of Nokias you can beat the shit out of someone with.

Also, birthday in less than a few weeks. Aaahhhhhh

Almost every single damn track is just in your head?
Because Bayonetta II has some pretty damn good tracks. I mean, how the hell do composers even think of these things? How do they even just, like- begin. /rhetoricalquestioning

I mean, LOOK AT THIS SHIT

JUST HOW
Holy hell and the game alone is just, great. It's been a long time since I have enjoyed a game up to it's marketed price. A very long time. I know not every game will break my expectations but there's quite a handful over my years of modern gaming. This is added on that list especially. . . . .cantwaittoaddbrawlontheretoo

just a little burst of my thoughts. This and the concept art is just so great to me u: and im sorta a bayo-nerd.

Stolen from  retrobearcade HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA FIGHT ME
Favorite video game? Sonic 3 & Knuckles

First console you owned? Sega Dreamcast

A game that holds a special place in your heart? Silent Hill? Maybe because of the symbolic interpretations that pertain to each character that’s reflected throughout their world. Maaajor emphasis story that was pulled off well.

Favorite video game character? Jack (Power Stone)

Least favorite video game character? Raiden (Metal Gear…maybe Mortal Kombat too) Both of y’all are kinda dumb sometimes :T

Favorite genre? Horror , adventure, fighting.

Video game character you’ve had a crush on? Behemoths in FF13, but if it had to be a character to the story I’ll put my vote in for Garrus Vakarian. He’s just a dork that can do the work, but such a novice when it comes to relationships.

First video game you remember? Either Power Stone or Hydro Thunder.

Age you started gaming? I think…5? Ish.

Hardest video game you’ve played? Difficulty-wise: Ninja Gaiden II or Metro 2033(due to not knowing what resources I needed and lack thereof, this was the only game up to date where I had to restart all the way from the beginning)

Video game you’ve spent the most time on? Well, I was gonna say Skyrim but since it randomly WIPED OUT MY FILE I’m putting in Dragon’s Dogma.

Most embarrassing gaming moment? Playing Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate in a public dorm hangout area where the upcoming AI I was fighting just –had- to wear skimpy attire and it was the first time I had their Breast Settings to OMG. Someone just had to WALK BY, not before when I was dicking around on training mode.

Scariest video game you’ve played? Dead Space 1 but when I was younger House of the Dead freaked the shit out of me

Most memorable gaming moment? Silent Hill 2’s Water Ending. That’s pretty much the closest I’ve been drawn to manly tears versus the first time I’ve learned my Chao can die in SA1/2 Battle (whichimistakenlygaveaway).

Video game character you wish you could meet in real life? Uhh….Hmm. I would say Stanley from Skullgirls. Or General Scales. Can’t think of many, just demons.

PC, Xbox, Playstation, or Nintendo? Nintendo first, PC Second, Xbox Third.

Gaming company you’re most loyal to? I can’t really have a solid trust on any company. Some can’t stick to their guns or they can’t get out of a consumerist habit. It changes from time to time.

If you could only play one video game for the rest of your life, which would you choose? NONE.

Do you use strategy guides? Depends if the game is too hard or a strategy I am missing. I just use a video to help from time to time.

How often do you use cheats? Not that often, if it’s to dick around then I’ll use plenty of em.

Competitive or single player? Single player, but I’m not dicky when it comes to being competitive, I like good matches.

Video game character you want to/have cosplayed? Noob Saibot or Ermac from Mortal Kombat.

Ever go to a video game convention? Nah.

Hardest boss fight you’ve been in? Fucking Carlito in Deadrising 1, always no scoping with a fucking sniper with no missed shots. Never beat em, never will. Fuck em.

Video games you wish you could burn from your memory? Shadow the Hedgehog, Turok Reboot, Marvel Alliance, so many others.

Favorite gaming series? Sonic the Hedgehog, Mortal Kombat, Dead Space, Bioshock, Soul Calibur, Resident Evil,

Do you skip tutorials, or find them useful? EVERY TIME. GIVE ME THE MANUAL FOR IT. OH WAIT. THAT’S TOO MUCH MONEY.

Best online gaming experience? Hmm. Maybe Dead Space 2. A lotta teamwork or individual work can go either way in its concept.

Worst online gaming experience? League of Legend. Hands down.. Sssssorrrry.

Why do you game? To relieve stress, artistic expression is easily given through the fantasy world and inspires others like myself to be in the same field. I love me some games and i love concept art towards the final result, and I love the artwork in like, Mortal Kombat and their early renderings. Sonic as well as Metroid. <3

There you have it.
PS, guess my icon's reference. You should fucking know. Trust me, everyone calls me Spikes.

....my coffee fortold me.

..Before I change up the prices for next year starting in November/December.
So there'll be 2 slots open instead of 3. But depending on what's happening I can get back to those that asked for a commission that came too late. I'm gonna try to have a steady flow and get everyone something.

So note me if you want one and I'll get back to ya

Commission List is here vvvvvvv
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14470159/

Hope y'all enjoy! c:

-edit- closed and filled holy hell
If i get these through ill open these again.

Know who you're living with (or going to live with).

Because shit down the road can be pretty ridiculous.

I have never been so disrespected in my entire life. Well, i kinda have, but I had the choice to not be around idiots and flock off somewhere else.
But the current year with these people are just irritating. Not only are they stupid, but they're in the wrong, doing illegal things of the sort and being very antagonizing, but they come off as ignorant people that seem to intimidate others that don't agree with their beliefs or how they live. I'm not explaining my personal life here but long story short:

If you are moving in with people for college, for life, for anything?

KNOW WHAT THEY DO. Know who they are, gather their background information. Establish ground rules from the start.
Contact local representatives of the place or keep contacts in handy in case shit happens. Read about everything you can about leases, what can be done, the fees for breaking them, etc.

Honestly, this experience I'm having is just ridiculous. Living with these overdramatic kids that don't know common sense about respecting people's property and [s]miserable[s] attempts to harass others if things don't go their way.

I'm stuck in a rock and a hard place because the way things are for certain areas through schooling can have EASIER options relocating or squashing the threat versus areas not through a school. The law is pretty stupid too. You'd think it would help the innocent ones trying to go to it, but no. Gotta jump through hoops and if you fail you live with people you've attempted to report and can't break away from because you can't leave and they're even pissier than Akuma.

Whatever. I'm not gonna rant anymore. Thanks to the personal peeps that gave me advice and stuff throughout this dicky drama so far. I'm done attempting to be nice from this point on. People are trash (not everyone).

Shedding a bit of humanity in my journals outside of commission journal streaks, ima be a buzzkill

If you are rubbin' one out to those Five Dicks in Freddy's machinies, like, right now, keep in mind

-Those animatronics were one oozing with blood and mucus, and gave off a vile odor at one point (as if they arent now).
-They weren't cleaned for the past 20 years
-One literally bit off a front portion of somebody's face
-They were once stuffed with remains of dead children
-Their screams of excitement are actually high pitched cries of kids screaming in terror (or in your case, bliss)

Just thought i'd share that based on the things ive read lately

fun fact fridays galore

Commissions are now closed~ Yeah, thanks for all the interest in the commission work ;w; I'm proud of the results! I will open them later on when I have free time in case people missed out or something.

And it's ThrustDay, so ask Spikes or any other of my characters something if you wish. I'll try to make something if i can x:

lastupdateontheseiswear 1 week left if anyone's interested, the prices are on my home page and i still have those busts offered :o
Thanks to those that got one recently :D

I just learned that throughout my recent buying of games over the past few years,

That i am having more fun with games that are under $20 bucks versus the full retail price of a $60 game by bigger developers. They also hold more extra features, similar to older games back in early 2000 and beyond, cus I remember the Mortal Kombat, Sonic, Square Enix, and Metroid series having loads of artwork, interviews, BGM, etc that made the game what it was and it was interesting on my downtime to sit down and look at their stuff!

Last retail game I thoroughly enjoyed with replayability and content was Dragon's Dogma:Dark Arisen, and I purchased that this January. Yeah, I'm behind, but these games now are like movies that aren't having bang for their full buck. I guess what I'm saying is that things nowadays aren't really having replayability.

Take, Idunno, Bioshock 2 for example (or any story driven major title). You run through it, get stuff along the way, ending credits, done. ...Okay. What else can ya do? Go back again, pick up whatever you missed the first time and trudge on again. But you're unable to go back from your first run, so you have to go back all over again.
I'm not really seeing the fun in that unless it was a joyful game with many things to do that you can easily overlook, maybe a world like GTA, or FarCry.
Some games just hold that value just once, and just sit there when you go to another game.

Others enable you a more flexible runthrough the second time, or a New Game +. There are a few big titles that do give that as well, such as Dead Space, Metal Gear Rising, Bayonetta, and others.

But, smaller titles with simpler ideas and concepts make a better experience for someone like myself.
I play things like Pacman Championship Edition, Skullgirls, Rogue Legacy, Killing Floor, these games that don't hold heavy concepts, they give you what you need, instructions, and go. The lore and backstory may be optional, but it does enhance the world you're put in. imramblingincircles IDKMY POINT is that I'm just seeing some flavorless titles right now and it might be dwindling away to nothing but that. Extra things may have moved to other sources like on the internet or at conventions, so it may be elsewhere besides right there on the game itself. Any other thoughts? just a stupid thought of mine, dat's all x:

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5967060/ <-info

Only 2 weeks left if anyone else is interested before they close for a while sooo yeah
then I'll stop spamming these journals. Might give another reminder a week prior to stopping, might even shave off 5 bucks from the digital and flat color sketches o: juuust a thought.

This will be the last bit of free time I might have for a whiiile, so I'm gonna just have it open.
I'll do one at a time and if there is enough time, i will contact those who have missed out afterwards or throw out another opening slot journal. If interested in a theme (im thinking about battle, punk, warrior, beastly/brutish etc) for your character, mention it and we can try to make somethin' o: so note me if you are wanting one!

SFW Solo characters only, teases can range. Paypal only, and payments upfront.

$5 Happy/Grumpy Boop Icons
$10 traditional sketch
$15 digital sketch
$20 digital + flat color

let the games begin and thanks in advance for your interest~

I feel kinda accomplished this summer even though it's far from over.
I finished:
Archer (Major + since it takes a lot from a show to make me chuckle, especially for these shows recently)
Arrested Development
Black Lagoon
Naoki Urasawa's Monster
saw several movies I didn't remember watching til now
improved somewhat in art since the break started
actually read tutorials and pdfs about art
learning a bit more about computer parts
and I didn't obliterate any roommates from existence (Or give payback to)! Hoorah *flings confetti*~

Getting ready for another semester, so kinda excited and not. I needed a break but I have to do something.
How was y'alls summer? If anyone didn't melt by now.
If ya want, you can ask things about the summer or anything regarding Spikes' input for our shared weather and I might draw some responses~ c:

The 3 Slots are now open, just claim one here. They're $5, and one character only!

They won't move around (yet!?) since I'm not .gif savvy yet, but I can point whoever is interested to a certain someone only if they REALLY want to! I don't want them to be bothered and stuff *paranoid about something that's probably not a big deal* but ANYWHO fire away.

Edit thank you! Closed!

I think that's what they are called x: They would be SFW and made from the head to the waist line area and the same price as a digital art sketch, $15. And it would be only one character. Flat colors would just have $5 more added. I'm probably gonna offer these as the only option for now along with the $5 icons. This is just to see if anyone would be interested but I'll open up the slots later this week.

I don't really have defined examples but that's what guinea pigs are for. I promise you will look either beefy, cool, intimidating, or awesome for such loverly examples to showcase ;w;

It will only be 2 slots for the busts, and 3 slots for the icons. I'll offer one of these two types in a journal entry x: So busts first, icons later.

Also,
It didnt occur to me that I got over 1500 watchers.
Holy crap o: That's like, 3000 eyeballs looking at me at the same time. Man, can't concentrate with all of them eyes taking up my space UGH MOVE *cough* i mean, thanks yall :D

3 Slots open because I have nothing to do and I am art blocked to all hell. Like seriously, I have ideas floating around in my head but they are not coming out exactly how i want em to >:T #artistproblems

EDIT 1 more left~
EDITEDIT Closed! Thanks!
