Pen's here, works like a charm aww ye

Getting to work today finally after lots of dumb delays and nonsense. Currently working on fixing my computer which had been acting up for at least a month or so. Turns out half my hard drive is fragmented.

So that's a thing.

Anyway, with things going the way they are, I should be getting in commissions again and things should be back to the way they were before all the nonsense happened. Thanks for the patience, friends.

Uh... Wow okay. Nevermind I guess o_O;

Still on a bit of a Hiatus. My new Pen should arrive by thursday-friday.

You know who you are, and I appreciate you making my life 50x less stressful ._. Thank you ; w ;

Anyone have them for getting back into the groove. I can finally draw, but I seriously am not satisfied with anything and I need to get back to the top of my game like right quick. Also, any tips on avoiding burnouts/art blocks?

I haven't slept and my arm feels like shit. I'm gonna scrounge up the money for pain killers and bite the bullet because the way I'm living right now is no way to live. Commissions should start popping up as soon as the 9th. I say the 9th because It's the 7th and I haven't slept since 8PM two days ago.

Buhhh... Sorry for these shitty journals.

While my arm's been healing I took the liberty of starting up a Twitter for RP and other shenanigans.

I rp a bunch of weird shit so y'know. If any of you want to. Also, do me the favor of retweeting the first post. Thanks babes.
Sleep time is nao.

Going through my art with a friend... man, why is my arm all fucked. Now I want to draw.

After much time has passed things are finally beginning to settle down over here, so I think I'm ready to get back to work.

You may not see any actual updates on here until the 30th at the latest as I have a few appointments and responsibilities I need to take care of in my personal life before I can sit back down and devote my time to drawing, but I'm happy to report I got alot of external problems cleared up thanks to the help of a few friends. Hopefully it stays that way!

I'm really happy to be back. I missed you all so much! I should hold a stream or something sometime soon as a welcome back thing-a-majig > w >. Or something.

But yeah, I'm here. Hi friends <3 <3 <3

[EDIT: IN OTHER ENWS GAY MARRIAGE IS NOW 100% LEGAL IN ALL U.S. STATES IM SHITTING EVERYWHERE]

Hey guys.. I've come back to a plethora of notes asking about my whereabouts to which I'm so sorry I haven't had the opportunity to come back and let you guys know I'm doing okay.

I went to the hospital and got discharged a few weeks ago but since then my entire life's been thrown out of wack. I've no food so I've had to pick up some work elsewhere and my sleeping schedule is beyond atrocious right now. This coupled with depression and the medication I've been taking has left me in a horrible state.

I'm going to be hopefully getting some help from my extended family to get things back on track so I'll be coming back hopefully within the next week.

I didn't intend to leave you all out of the know for so long but my life has really just gone to complete shit so I've been everywhere but here. I'll be sure to find some way to make it up to you all for being so patient with me this past month. Please stay safe and I hope all of you remain healthy.

I need to extend a sincere apology. Lately I've been really ill and I haven't been able to do much beyond lay in bed and I haven't been updating any of you on your commissions which is irresponsible of me.

My symptoms are only seeming to get worse though they also seem to change? I had raging migraines a few days ago which have calmed down to a light irritation, but now my stomach seems to get upset whenever I try to eat or sit down for too long. Unfortunately, I don't have any way of getting to a doctor so I've been forced to just lay down in bed and do literally nothing. I haven't even spoken to any of my friends for longer than a few minutes.

Beyond fluids and rest, I don't know if there's much I can do for myself. I've already exhausted all of our headache meds and I'm pretty sure we don't have any general stomach medication... Forcing myself to work only seems to exhaust me and agitates my head by keeping it upright for too long.

I honestly feel like garbage for not being able to work right now, but for those of you who've commissioned me on skype and have inquiries, I really appreciate your understanding and believe me when I say I'm seriously doing what I can to minimize any stress/cold symptoms so I can recover quickly.

The moment I can keep my head up longer than 10 minutes, I'll be getting back to work. Until then I'm going to be keeping away from my bright as fuck monitors (even with the settings turned down they still agitate my eyes...) for as long as possible. I'll still respond to any questions if I see them. I shouldn't need much longer considering how long I've been sick.

Worst case scenario I end up hospitalized. But I don't think it'll get that far. Anyway too much rambling. See you all soon.

I'm no longer accepting commissions. All my spring slots are filled for the time being and I won't be opening backup or be offering any freebies off stream.

You may see a YCH here or there pop up but aside from that, I'll be muzzle-deep in these commissions.

As usual if you have any questions feel free to ask. I hope you all are enjoying the weather because I know I'm not.

Lets get these done~ <3

With commissions coming to a close, I'm going to be working on them starting today though I still want to get a bit of a warm up going so I'm offering a free sketch.

Simply leave a ref here and I'll just pick out whichever character piques my interest.

Literally all there is to it. :o

Ends in an hour (3PM EST)

I'm closing commissions on the 10th.
If you've been considering getting one from me, now would be the time.

Please note that even though commissions may be closed, in-stream chibis and icons will always be available during streams as well as any other event-like commissions.

As such, in order to get these commission slots filled, I'll be doing a reduced pricing by 15% for any commission over $25. This includes reference sheets and multiple character images!

I really appreciate all the love and support. You guys keep me wanting to improve > w <!

Commissions are now available to the public! I have commissions previous to do, but I will be opening 5 slots in the meantime. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me. I'll be returning to my regular stream schedule soon! I know the terms of service is a bit scary looking, but it's just measures to ensure everything is out on the table from the start. I'm pretty lenient and I'm willing to work with people to get them something nice and afforable. Just make sure you contact me if you aren't clear on anything!

Love you all :3 <3

I apologize for my inactivity! Things have been somewhat busy over here so I hadn't had the time to stream lately. Today I'll finally be getting my commission sheet done with any luck, and then I'll be working on commissions for the rest of the night if god's willing lmao.

If anyone needs me I'm easily contactable through skype at akatafock , or feel free to leave me a note!

Beep beep. Also, the chibis seemed to get some nice feedback though I've been told I'm underselling for only $5 a pop. Not saying I'll definitely be raising the price of them, but the $5 deal might not stay. Keep your eyes peeled, friends :o

So with my nephew gone, and a successful return, I feel obligated to let you guys know how I work, since I haven't really explained my process, and I'll be giving information about commissions here in a bit.

My work schedule is pretty simple. Work one day, do nothing the other.

So for example, Today's my off day, so I won't be working on anything. I usually stream when I work so expect a stream tomorrow. Art's a bit of a hobby instead of a career for me, and I'm susceptible to burning out if I work myself too hard so this is my attempt at a failsafe.

Also, my sleeping schedule is a bit erratic. I literally woke up at 3PM today so I apologize if you have been trying to contact me while I was asleep.

Commissions will be open publicly by tomorrow 4/15/2015, with price listing and a terms of service. I have a few commissions already from people that have approached me during streams, which will take priority over any commissions received currently.

I won't be taking more than 3-5 commissions at any given time. The pricing is subject to change depending on how well it's received. If you do want something and it's out of your price range, feel free to note me. I'm more than willing to bend a little to make things more affordable for you (within reason)

For those curious: Freebie headshots will become more scarce the more commissions I have to work on. I may start doing PWYW commissions more frequently over stream however so be on the lookout for those.



Final Notes: Anyone who has a commission is free to add me on skype (akatafock). I'm more than happy to give you updates on your piece and don't mind making minor changes for free.

However if you ask me to change anything that requires me to change a large portion of the picture, I may charge you so please let me know if the picture is coming out the way you want it. The last thing I need is for someone to be unsatisfied because they didn't speak up.

Thank you!

So uh. mY BROTHER and MY NEPHEWS ARE HERE?

Nobody tells me things WHY ARE THEY HERE...

Anyway, they're here until sunday so I have to take an unexpected hiatus. Or at least I can't be drawing anything skeevy until they go to bed.

Today was supposed to be my work day damn it :T


Sorry for the unexpected hiatus but I'll be back really soon!

OK SO HI. I'm gonna be filling out all the texty parts of this site as well as my picarto.

Today I'm not going to be doing much, though tomorrow I have a dentist appointment. Afterward I'll be streaming the finishing of a commission and then I'll be opening commissions soon after.

I just want to thank you guys for welcoming me back as well as the nonstop encouragement. You've really been a giant motivator to get better at drawing/coloring and I'm seeing small improvements in my stuff the more I draw :D

So yeah <3

Thanks :3
