registrations are complete! Woo

the con was loads of fun, especially with my suit! Lots of pictures, lots of hugs, and lots of crying kids later, Im home.

It was absolutely amazing~

If you saw me or Charlotte around the con, or if you took pictures please let me know! I want to see them!!!!!

So I will be attending Katsucon at National Harbor in Maryland, and it's my first time suiting in public.

Ive got the wonderful  R_LWorks partial suit of Charlotte to take with me, but Im nervous about my first con suiting!

Do any suiters have any recommendations of how to work with the suit? I need help! Im a n00b with suiting, I need all the halp I can get.

Also! If you'll be at Katsu and see me don't glomp me, just say AionK, Aion, or Charlotte, or tap me for your attention, Ill be sure to say hi.

I personally hate it being single, but I wont rain on other's parade.

Ill open commissions for a discounted rate.

interested? note me or email me @ life4mustang[at]live.com - but tell me who you are, why youre emailing and your idea. Ill get back to you asap.

and a happy new year

I hope all my fellow furs got to enjoy the day with their families and friends while staying warm and all that good stuff~

Also, my computer keeps fucking around and freezing and/or not responding, so I have to restart/reboot constantly, its getting super annoying, cause Im losing progress on a LOT of my work.

AUSA starts tomorrow, and I only have $4o ;^;

Help plx?

(Note, this isn't me begging for money, this is me begging for quick sketch commissions that I can do in a night and possibly have money for the con.)

-because it was nothing but cussing and crazy ranting. In case you couldn't tell, Ive submitted two things since I reported that my tablet was broken. Well, by a stroke of luck, I found a working tablet in my room. So artwork can resume, and hopefully more good work will be coming from me (when Im not going crazy at work with all dem dogs xD)

and Ive got the jitters today. Im nervous as anything today and its almost to the point of making me sick xD;

Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of his random nervous nausea? Or any tips for the interview?

Its at Kitty Kondos by Always There Pet Care, so any tips on how to interview for pet boarding places or just pet care in general would be fantastic.

I got the job. I am mondo excited, since Ill get to work with dogs, which Im already familiar with, and cats, so expand my pet care skill!

Im so excited! I go in tomorrow to meet the dogs since I got to see the kitties today, and its awesome!

Thank you to those who commented and supported me! Love to you all~

So I still have two commission slots open form the last list, and I may add a couple more to make more.

The prices are the same as previous, I just need serious commissioners! I dont have to worry about making prints right now, so Im ready to take some commissions on!

The prices are the same as last time:

sketches: $8-10

ink: $12-15

flat coloring: $17-20

shaded: $22-25

Depending how many people are interested will help me determine how many slots.

Thank you all!

AK

Also, I need the funds to buy perler beads for some perler sprite commissions I have, so please! Any help at all is appreciated

I have perler stuff made for Anime Expo but I dont want to just sell those. I want to sell prints of my work, but I need to know which prints to take. I personally dont know which pieces to make avaliable (Im also not sure what kind of adult art rules there are for it, so if anyone knows feel free to fill me in)

That aside, I need opinions of which pieces to make into prints- which also brings up the question, should I make prints of the comic? the answer is no, Im not making the comic available in print. First reason- the characters are copyright. Second reason- Its a combined effort between  andyjy and I and after talking about it, Im going to respect his wishes and keep it out of print.

Knowing that, please please PLEASE everyone who can comment and give me ideas of what to make prints of.

Thank you

flat coloring: $17-20

TWO SLOTS LEFT

let me know if youre interested by either commenting below or noting me!

Also! I will only start with 5 slots, so its first come first serve! Paypal only please

1. 3 pages for  markl12 FINISHED

2. page for  taiko FINISHED

3. page for  markl12

so my bank fails at notifying me when shit happens to my account. Apparently, instead of using my account linked to my account, paypal has been using my main account used for everyday purchases, and overdrew my account -$400. I plan on giving paypal issues about this, but my bank is the worst at telling me what is going on. So checking my balance after getting an email I should have gotten a week or so ago I see the damages. Well Im pissed. Now I have to somehow make up the difference and build that back up.

This is where you can help. I will open commissions (its undecided how many Ill open) and will do anything that doesnt go outside of my rules. (theyre on my front page, so if you havent read them, DO IT NOW) These may be discounted, thats undecided too. Please please PLEASE let me know if you can help, either comment below or note me.

Thank you says the poor blue dusky

go here nao for awesome stuffs!

I mean c'mon people...can ya take it easy on requests? Ive got enough projects happening at once- that for some reason entitiles you to suddenly start throwing your ideas with all these details at me without warning, or telling me you want something from me is a little bothersome- scratch that- ITS FUCKING ANNOYING! If you want to talk, Im all for it, but if you send notes/spam my page with comment with all these details out of nowhere, Im more than likely to ignore you/respond not in your favor- aka I wont do it.

This mostly applies to peeps on dA, but this is for everyone interested in work from me

Hey all,

Had an awesome birthday yesterday with the bf and other friends, with family fun to happen today. Weee

As for the comic, Im loving it as well as all the support its been getting! Thank you all so much for all the faves, watches and comments on it! :D I know if it wasnt for all the awesome support from you guys and the awesome writing skills of  andyjy this comic would have floundered!

I love you guys ~

Also go here for artz (follow rules peeps)

Ive been trying to submit and delete messages on dA and so far, NOTHINGS WORKED.

I cant upload, I cant update, I cant get rid of old messages.

IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM?

Its been doing this for a few days now, so Im not sure if its dA or if its my computer. I dont think its my computer since Ive restarted a few times since dA started to wack out on me.

now furaffinity is starting to do it to...XP

wtf is going on

So dA is working. But submitting on furaffinity isnt. Im seriously getting a little hacked off

Alright, please ignore the previous ranting. Im feeling better about the holidays, and Im excited for my trip tomorrow morning.

Im not going to get into what I got, but I got the little i asked for. I hope everyone else got what they wanted!

I know I hardly update, but Ill have my computer so I should be able to check in sometimes.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays and happy new year!

thats what it is. its shit. Im not turning this into a sob story and Im not looking for attention, I just need to vent.

You ready for this? You sure you wont back out? Alright then, last chance.

Ok, so Im pissed. I made the mistake of taking a bunch of requests at once, and Im still working on crap in attempts to better myself and whatnot. Well, Im still not finished, and now Ive got four stories to write on top of that. So many of them are started and plotted, but Ive just had no drive to work on them. Its incredibly frustrating to have so much of a workload and not even be able to work on it because of my mentality. So being artist right now is shit.

I managed to get some free time and a free pass into a trip to Kings Dominion a week ago with my bf and some of his friends, with awesome rides and screaming and good times. So I used my card to get food and waters from the park, maybe $10-12 in spending for the day. The day ends quickly, we go home and go to bed. That was the last charge I could recognize on my statement that I had made.

Cut to yesterday: Im talking to my bf about going over to his house after not seeing him for the entire week due to his work schedule (3 in the afternoon to 11 at night) and my parents being sticks in the mud about not liking him or wanting me outside of the house after 11 pm. So yesterday since his mom is out with the car I call a cab to get me there before noon, since the buses are total assholes about getting someone somewhere they need to be on time. So the cab gets lost, tags an extra three bucks to the tab, and he finally finds the apartments. I go to pay with my card, and its declined, twice. So Im kinda like wtf is up with my card, since this isnt the first time it's happened (I tried to use it on getting a pizza, and it was declined again) so I meet up with my bf and use his computer to look up Suntrust's customer service number. I call them and put on hold for almost twenty minutes. I finally get someone and tell her that my card's been getting declined, so I ask if its the magnetic strip or something in the card. Well, its not that. So she gets ahold of someone else who works for Suntrust, and she hangs up while I talk to this guy.

He and I run through my bank statement and I point out every charge and transaction that I didnt even make. He checks the background info of these transactions, and some of them have come from Rhode Island. Im like, wtf? Rhode Island? Someone in Rhode fuckin Island has my card information? So I point out these other transactions, some coming from Rhode Island, others coming from California. He asks what the last thing I did was, and I tell him I went to the amusement park in VA, since its where I friggin live. So he does some more typing to figure this out, and someone in California tried to use a Wells Fargo ATM to take out between $350-500 from my account. (luckily most attempts were stopped) So ive canceled my card, Im fuming, so I ask the guy what I need to do. He tells me hes canceling my card, and that I need to cancel and change my information for Amazon, paypal, anything like those that I used previously. So I canceled the card on Amazon and paypal, and I get a new card, along with a $374.17 refund from the person who took my information. Tomorrow I have to print out these forms, fill them out and take them into Suntrust to get the refund taken care of (otherwise I dont get ANYTHING back.)

There is one good thing that happened and that I have a possible job opportunity working as a babysitter for our new neighbors when her parents leave from their who knows how long of a visit. Sooooo yeah...possible job yay. Stolen information booooo.

that I am. Emotional and someone who doesnt know what the fuck they want to do in their life anymore. I have no direction, no place in society, no place in my family because i have no job and hate school to the very core...

Im just tired of everything and everyone.

Hey, for those who actually read these, I know that theres nothing new in my gallery, its just been a very busy past few weeks.

I dont want to go into it, but since things have kind of calmed down and Ill be going home to DC on Monday, I might start doing some research/planning a fursuit. Its my first, so if it comes out not as great down downsize me on it.

Anyway, if anyone has suggestions as to where I might be able to find a light blue/purple color fur and give decent directions how to go about making this It would be MOST appreciated.

I dont think Ill be making this alone, Id just like some pointers.

I typically dont show this much hatred to just one pokemon, but this...thing takes the cake. Lucario...over used over drawn over...EVERYTHING! God I hate this fucking thing. Its ugly, its butt-ugly, and did I mention ugly?! I hate the fact Im constantly being asked to do Lucario-related work by *Imnotgoingtosaytheirname* with fetishes that I personally just think are gross. To each his own, but I just....BLAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Im losing my mind, leave a message and Ill get back to you as soon as I chase my brain down.

PS: If you like Lucario and think I deserve to burn at the stake keep the comments to yourself please. Dont like my ranting dont read it. Im entitled to my opinion.
