Ok, so here's the deal. I think it's time I get myself some personal internet, instead of staying at work all night long until I've had enough. I'm gonna go ahead and get Comcast, pretty good price for it's speed, I can afford it, BUT I can choose to either lease a modem for an extra $7/mo...or provide one for myself...totally free.

Obviously leasing one is retarded, so I want to buy one myself, but my Paypal account is a bit short. i know im not to be doing commissions because I wanna focus on other things...but this is actually really important.

I'm willing to take 3 commissions, that's all I need (although I really only need 1, im just being courteous)

Any takers?

I've been getting stuffed with other, not-so-important stuff lately, be it work or school, or just me being lazy and wanting personal leisure. Its taking me forever to take care of these 2 commissions alone, mainly because I'm so lazy

SO let's solve this problem...together. I'm just gonna go ahead and close commissions for now, so I can have the time to work on MY OWN stuff for once. I have sketches and ideas that I want to do, but cant because people want these little commissions, that take forever, and when I finally finish them, there's someone else.

The only 2 others I'll probably consider are  mblade and  arcius, mainly because they're constantly returning clients, and because I consider them more of friends than clients. They've both helped me out A LOT, would be a shame if I just kicked them off now...

But at the same time, I need to work on my animations ESPECIALLY my 3D stuff, which I have procrastinated on for months.

I just want to get some stuff done, I'll be sure to let you know when I open back up

Just wanted to give a heads up, I recently scanned a bunch of pics, most of which are not related to the furry fandom whatsoever. I just want to archive them all here and such.

Spammage of my,like...3 year old car concepts when I used to draw cars all the time. Havent drawn any cars for a while, with the exception to a 69 roadrunner I did a while back.

ANYWAYS, just a notice in advance, there are lots :B

Welp, I have a job now, which means I have less time for other things :V Like commissions. SO if you're wondering why your commission might be taking a while, please feel free to blame PGCC and BK :V

I also like taking some "me" time after work, and I'm sorry, but if there's any time I can spend with my Niki, that has priority. I barely see her anyways.

But in any case, I'm currently working on  Haddockwolf's commission, and if I can slip it in, resketch my commission for  shouraiyume. Seeing as I just spent $15 for ANOTHER tablet pen, I should have something for on the go, but it seems I actually need a new battery now too = .= Gettin' real tired of this, HP.

I'm also trying to save up for a Wacom Cintiq 12X, which is frackin expensive! A good $500-$600. So, I'll be saving up for that, which is why I'm trying to work as many hours at BK as possible. Oh well, just a nifty update.

How's life going for all you furs and furettes?

Yup, so my tablet pen broke...again. These things are so fragile, I swear. What had happened was the pen tip doesn't work anymore(just the eraser), and this is the second time this has happened. I don't think I'll trust HP tablet pens anymore, I've bought 3 :B

In other related news

mah art shtuffz will be slowed a little, because of my pen being shat on, and also because school started, and college classes are pains in the patootie :V However, you might actually end up seeing some 3D stuff, maybe an ACTUAL animation o3o but mostly models .

SO, I hope you guys enjoy your life while mine slowly burns up :V I'll be here, trying to make a few problems go away

And thanks people who've commissioned me lately. that money will help me buy a new pen, and with new commissions, a new Wacom Cintiq tablet. My Intuos 3 is dying.

Hey guys! Hope you all enjoyed your New Years celebrating ^^ And now that the new year is in, its time to open up commissions again. But, things are gonna be a little different.

Seeing as though I've found an actual job (still waiting for my call back >.>) I won't be as needy for money anymore. SOOO everything above flatcolor commissions, and ref sheets will get a price increase :D

Hopefully now I'll be able to get some of my own work done, and have to worry less about commissions. And I clearly don't have anywhere close to enough Ace + Niki stuff :I

Of course, if you're still interested in commissions, I'll be glad to be of service! You'll just have to tolerate the higher prices.

you can check the updated commission rates here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2652318/

As usual, anyone interested can note me, or...contact me any way really. Skype, Steam, whatever you got :P

Alright guys, There is WAAYYY too much going on in my life right now. Some of which I can't disclose to you, but 1 main thing is I've been putting off my essay and I already missed it's deadline. I need to concentrate on this final really hard, because if I don't, its guaranteed failure.

Also, (concerning that classified information quote) I need a job more than ever. I need to reprioritize that too. Its not as important as my essays, but it is pretty important to me. Commissions just doesnt bring in as much money as I need.

I also need some serious work on my 3D modelling project and practice (once I get my desktop build finished) This is, afterall, what I want to do for a career, and that comp is expensive ($400-$500) and the money I'm throwing away on Steam games xD

I'll try to get these things done accordingly, but as far as you should know, I'll most likely be locked down until New Years, where I can start fresh. I'll try to clear out the commissions I already have right now, but as far as new commissions, I'm gonna have to deny them until further noticed.

So basically it's like this. These are in no particular order,although I do like to tap into who pays the most first.

1. arcius Arcius x Lexi
2. arcius Arcius,Lexi,and Chummy in the foam scene from Gangnam Style
3. hazzyfox 2 character cell shaded
4. mblade orca pin up pending payment
5. vynxyukida ref sheet
6. vynxyukida cell shaded thinger
7.???

so yea, this'll be updated accordingly :P

I'm just wonderin' can't really judge it when it's still in beta :V If y'alls know, drop me a word, yo o3o

HEY THERE!
Welcome to AAAAPPLEOOSA!.... Oh wait...RIGHT!

Hope you guys are gonna have a bangin' Halloween ( I know I wont) Guess what! tomorrow is November 1st, and that means I'll be open for commissions again! w00t!

Also tomorrow, I'll be updating my commission rates. I wont be upping any prices, everything will stay the same...if anything, my prices would be cheaper. Still don't think I'm good enough to charge more, BUT ANYWAYS! I'll be adding comic prices (even though I have no experience with comics). I'll also be changing from 5 slots, to 7, because I'm a loser and I need money desperately :D

Gonna be a little bit harder because I lost my tablet pen (again), but this time, for good. SOOOO I have to go back to using my intuos 3 :I The feels man

ANYWAYS, Note me if you want a commission done, otherwise, I'll slave over these other things until then :B

Ok guys, I think it's time to state a date when I'll be open commissions again
And I've decided November 1st! So keep this date in mind since 1. I've been told that people will commission me after I open back up and 2. I'll be using this site that my friend has shown me https://artistsnclients.com/ to hike some more commissions into my list.

I'll be done with  thaine's cell-shaded commission well before November, and I'll be able to tap into some of the freebies I haven't finished.

So until then, I'll see you guys :3

Wow, didnt think this would happen, but yea, All my slots are filled ^o^ Thank you everyone who has decided to commission me. Kinda weird how all of a sudden, I'm getting all these commissions, but hey, I ain't complainin' :P

Anyways, you should be able to keep up to date with my comm progress from here. These are rhe people who currently have slots, and their progress.


1.  silverrat Kangaroo, paw lickin' pin-up(Complete)
2.  thaine Kangaroo Konversion pin-up (In Progress) 20% done
3.  arcius(Complete) NSFW version coming soon
4. emergency reserve
5.  huttser-coyote (Complete)

Yea, I havent forgotten about em. Just been busy with commissions, school, you know, the biz.

anyways, I'm still workin on a bunch of stuff. Havent touched my 3D project in a while, and that is sorta meant for school, and now my mom is sorta pressuring me into finding a job, even though she knows my schedule is twisted. Really trying to knock out these comms as fast as possible, but also trying to take my time too. I usually screw up if i go too fast, even if one of them could have been done by now, but whatever. I'll finish that off either tonight or tomorrow, then finish up  mblade's commission as fast as possible.

I really dont like how long it's taking me to finish things. Feels horrible that I take so long. And I keep getting ideas for what I want to draw, cant do them until I finish up all these other things. THEN I gotta go September's freebies...might just do a freebie stream instead

Anyways, that's mah update for ya'lls. Keep on truckin'!

That's right, this wolfie is now on Steam :D and I have...no friends :T SO I mean...you know....if ya want...
My username is AcetheBigBadWolf, just like here
so far, I only have L4D and L4D2 (trying to install L4D now)
gonna get TF2 soon, and maybe the Orange Box (MAYBE)

So add meh if you choose, I aint forcin' ya to :V

Hey guys, this idea crossed my mind lately, and as that one fur that comes up in your inbox, I kinda wanna do my best to make sure you stay there :V Now I realize that...not every fur in the universe likes mature/yiff art. In fact, some people absolutely despise it!

I post my fair amount of yiff art, mainly because it brings attention, which I need. But the thought that I'm being inconsiderate by not, at least trying to keep people who don't want to see male shafts and female "cats" from actually seeing them hits my brain a few times. Of course, an easy thumbnail could avoid the sight of these things, but is it really worth it?

of course, I'm not the only artist that draws yiff art, and I'm not the only artist that [i/you watch[/i] that does yiff art. With that said, even if I did thumbnail censoring, would it really make a change in the inboxes of furs who watch 100+ fully active furs at a time? Whom post fully exposed pics, as opposed to my blocked ones?

In my view, I REALLY REALLY don't want to, simply because being viewed on the front page for those mere few seconds can be the difference between whether they discover you or not, and having a concealed thumbnail keeps them away from actually making that decision....which is bad for me, especially for yiff art since that rakes in tons of attention :B I can understand about EXTREME things. Things that are just really fetish heavy and weird (scat, extreme tentacle porn, oviposition, period, gore porn, etc) That's understandable. But i'm talking simple, plain and straight forward, and lightly fetish influenced,yiff.

My question to you is...
Would it be worth it if I put concealing thumbnails on my adult images?

Congrats to all the winners who were fast enough!
Now, all I need is a ref and what you want me to draw (if you havent already. If you have, just tell me. Sometimes I derp <.>)

And to all the ones who were a taaaaaddd too late, dont worry! Just like always, if I finish early (which is rare) then I'll take in your request too, as a sketch...or if I feel like it, I'll do a little more....which is rare, because imma lazy

Just want to let everyone know that I'll be absent from FA for a while. I have absolutely no internet at all, and the library blocks all my sites. As I'm typing this, I'm outside, at a bus stop :B Anyways, just to let you know that any messages I get on FA, InkBunny, or SoFurry, I will not see. DeviantArt, I can see though. So, if you need to reach me, just hit me up on my DA profile instead (If you can)

http://envythisroadrunner.deviantart.com/

Hey, I probably just met you
and this is crazy
but I'm having trouble in Flash
so help me maybe?

Trying to add audio in Flash is beginning to become a pain in the patootie :T I dont get what the problem is. I File>Import>Import to library> choose file and open, but it only tells me it failed :/ I've added audio files before, but now, it just doesnt want to cooperate. The file is an mp3, 1min 32 secs long, and is 3.53MB big. I just dont know what went wrong!

Update: converted the file to.WAV and imported perfectly fine. All I need help with at this point is how to make the sound go on from scene to scene, while still having contol over it :/

Anyways, I'm also having a hard time remembering how to do embedded animation, which would be great to help keep my filesize as low as possible

Any help possible would be ab'slutely wonderbutts c:

SO, if you stayed in my last stream until the end, you'd remember that at one point, my computer blacked out and I went offline for a while. Then when I came back, I was saying how my computer wasn't charging? Weeeeeelll yea. My computer's charger died, and under a week after I bought it too (crappy Chinese bulls#!+)

Anyways, as you can guess, my tablet is now dead...and I REEEEAAAALLLYYYY don't wanna go back to my Toshiba 9-9, but I gotta if I want internet *sigh* SOOOOOO.
I wont really be streaming, or perhaps even drawing for a while, because this computer is such a pain in the tailhole! I've already bought a replacement charger (an authentic one this time), but the shipping on it is super long, not expected to get it until late July-early August! Douchebag eBay seller :V Anyways, my drawing availability is pretty limited. I plan to get a replacement screen so this so-called "back-up computer" isn't so frustrating, along with a new battery. That's looking around $30-$40 right there :/ And the manager at IHOP is being a douchenozzle, so no confidence AT ALL in getting that open position job there.

In the meantime, thanks to those who've commissioned me lately ( the very few x3) Your contributions are so very much appreciated, and I hope to always be of good service as I try to up my skills as an artist (still gonna keep low prices for as long as I can though, doubt they'll ever raise)

-In Other News
keep an eye for my next stream, I'm currently contemplating whether or not I'll use my mic (instead of screen tapping :X) so you can hear my voice for once o///u///o

Freebies will be coming hopefully, based on the arrival of my charger and if I have any commissions BUUUUUUUTT, on the month of August, I'll be knocking out a bunch of raffle freebies....and I mean a bunch, maybe 15 or so (people who havent gotten freebies before are first priority) I havent decided about how I'm gonna go about who gets freebies (probably me giving you a number, then letting Randomizer do all the work >u>) but be prepared, because like always, it'll be at complete random!

Gonna do some stream testing on this new computer to see if it handles better than my other computers. I'll start at around I:00 EST and working on  mBlade's and ablearcher's freebies. Might knock out some others, its not guaranteed though because i have other work to do today

well, see ya there if ya comin!

Aiight erryfur, here's the dealio! I gotz some goot newz 'N some Bat newz :B And I'm gonna dish them out on ya, mkay? Let's stare with teh goot newz:

Goot Newz

Goot newz is that I received my charger in the mail today, which means I got to turn on my HP 2710p for the first time! And gawd is it better than my To-shit-ba ^o^ Anyways Its running happily with Windows 7, with its little fan that sounds like a mini vacuum cleaner. Its actually kinda cute.

everything runs and installs fine, and it moves pretty quick for a 1.3 GHz processor.

---

Bat Newz

Bat news is that, I likely wont be able to use my tabby for the reason I bought it in the first place. For some reason, it doesn't pick up pressure sensitivity in Paint Tool SAI, which is the ONLY program I like to use ( I use GIMP for effects only)

Tried to install Wacom's penabled PC drivers, and that only made things worse . _.

SO...can't really draw anything, until I find a way around this...oooorrr try to download Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 2011 or Manga Studio EX4, which I really don't wanna do because I'm so used to SAI.

That also means I can't hit up those extra freebies....yet. I plan on trying to do them anyways. I'm also trying to push myself to call IHOP back, because I really need a freakin' job. I mean, like, seriously <(o- o<) I need a job. The thing is I can only call for the GM between 5 AM and 2:30 PM, which sucks!

So, thats my position right now. I'll keep ya updated so you know I haven't forgotten about dem freebies (I'll keep rackin' mah brain on it)

to mBlade, Seren, and AbleArcher

Dont worry, I'm still gonna finish up those requests, but I wont be able to stream them. Way too much lag, and my internet keeps cutting out, so I cant stream.

and to those waiting patiently for the main 4 to be done, done worry. I have another freebie calling coming real soon, along with my computer's charger, so stay tuned. Next time, I'll do something better than "colored sketches" xD

Anways, sorry for all the disappointment. This computer just cant handle anything, and I'd stream from my desktop, if it didnt have that "dont stream or else I'll completely black out on you" problem...anyways, until next time fuzzybutts.

And Gawd Dayum, 150 messages!!! @-@ Well, what a doosie...and I mean a DOOSIE! Well perhaps I should get explaining then..*ahem*

I just got back from an almost 1 week power outage, no thanks to some bad juju, 100+ degree weather, and because of that 100+n degree weather, a huge thunderstorm came with it, which ended up knocking out my power for almost a week, AND OH MAN Its good to have air conditioning back ^w^ Didnt have FA all week. No DA, or InkBunny, or SoFurry....no e621 Tnand it kinda sucks, because As soon as I lost power, I got my replacement tablet in the mail (along with a copy of Driver San Francisco, which I finally got to play and am loving it!)

And sadly, I didnt get to do freebies last month....buuuuttt I finally have my HP 2710p, which mean I should be able to draw faster...so I will do my BEST to do freebies this month, before August (my birth month ouo) As soon as I get a charger for my tabby, expect a call for freebies.

I'm also trying to apply for a job at my local IHOP, because I'm broke as hell and need more money. Cross your fingers....or...paws..or claws or tentacles or whatever you have xD I really need this job...like dude <(o- o<) SRSLY. So wish meh lucky :3

Anyways, I've gots lots of messages to review and what not. Stay murry, mkay? And have a habbyfofeovjoo-lie!!!

I've been looking around lately for a new computer, since it's slowly getting on my nerves. I need a new one anyways. At the same time, my Intuos 3 is slowly dying out on me. And, well...a Wacom Cintiq....I don't have $1000+ to pay for one of those. I remembered how in some cases, artists have used tablet PCs as a way of drawing on-the-go, and to go around the $1K price tag of a Cintiq, but it's really up in the clouds as to exactly which one an artist should consider- mainly because not every tablet uses Wacom digitizer technology, and not all of them have pressure sensitivity. I did a little research and found a couple of laptop PC that people wont compile in one particular list or forum post. This is also for personal notes, but you can use it for personal reference yourself if you wish. SO, here's a random list of tablet laptops that I found decent enough to consider.

-HP 2710P
I'm considering this one a LOT. I've seen someone recommend it before in the DA forums, granted it may be a little more than someone's budget. Likely worth it. Here's some video sauce to help show it's drawing potential
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOy9.....eature=related

-HP TC1100
I've used this once before, when a friend let me borrow his computer quite some time ago. I remember it didn't have pressure sensitivity when I drew, BUT it DID have pressure sensitivity when I wrote in it's little handwriting converter prompt thing. I think it actually can be used, but I don't know much about that.

-HP TX2500
Supposedly a really good laptop to use

-HP Touchsmart TM2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWbU.....eature=related touch and pen smart and Wacom driven. An artist friend of mine,  Baginazard has one of these. I know for a fact that the screen does get pretty warm, and that when it's being stood up (in laptop mode, I guess you could say) it's really back heavy, because of that battery, so it tends to topple backwards. Something small, but equally annoying.

-ASUS Eee PC T101MT
It has 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, verified via this sauce here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgsc.....eature=related I'm really iffy on that, since I'm a spoiled arse thanks to my Intuos 3, which has 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, but I heard that even 512 is good enough for a decent artist. I wonder what 256 is like.

-ASUS Eee Slate Ep121
12.1" screen, which is beautiful. It's nice and flat, and.....oh dang...at a price range of around $800-1500 (or around $550 if buying used on eBay) Depending on your luck, it could be a good INVESTMENT. I wouldn't recommend it to someone without experience. Better off with something MUCH less expensive. But, for that much, you get 256 levels of pressure sensitivity (although I might be wrong....I doubt it) up to 64GBs of SSD hard drive space, 4GB SDRAM, and an Intel core i5 processor. Truly up to you if you want to make that step. HERE, have some sauce of someone drawing with it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G19G4cQFd9w

-ASUS B121
Slightly less expensive that the Ep121, that's all I can see so far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvAQ.....eature=related video sauce.

-Toshiba M200 and M700
I think a friend of mine has a M200, but doesn't use it for art. I'm not sure if it's Wacom penabled, but apparently, it has pressure sense so that's all I ever need. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5YtE5aLoL4 sauce for M200.

Hope you find this journal useful. I might update it if I need to. Until then, if you have any other info you'd like to add to this list, just tell me :3

Just wanna put out there than commission slots are wiiiiiide open for any takers. SO if anyone is interested, all the necessary info can be seen here:

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2652318/

This month has been pretty well with commissions. Thanks VERY MUCH to everyone who did commission me. Every dollar is a huge help ^^"

And sorry about not doing freebies this month, I was kinda busy, you see...well..I actually might be able to take a few later this month, who knows? We'll just have to wait and see I guess. I know I should probably put a little more effort in looking for a solid day-to-day job.. I've sorta lost all confidence in that, so much I don't even think putting in an application will do anything. Until I get my shiz together, I'll have to find other ways. Other than that, I'm squared away :3

Well, you guys stay beautiful! Much love <3 ^.~*
