I've been asked to keep this updating on my kitty. It's been 2 days now and no vomit :D
He seems to be doing better after switching food brands, I got a small bag of Purina.
Hopefully he continues to stay healthy now <333
And thank you to everyone who helped!
It means a lot c:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of you who know me know that I have a black kitty and and fat orange kitty XD.
They've both been healthy all their lives with no complications or illnesses.

But recently, my black one, "Stilts"(long story) has recently started throwing up after almost every meal. We've been giving him the same dry food for about 2 years now, and never had any problems.

When he vomits, the food is chewed up so he's not eating too fast. Sometimes he'll keep it down and sometimes after 5 minutes, he's throwing it up.

Now aside from the vomit, he's completely fine. Energetic, happy, healthy. He hasn't lost/gained a considerable amount of weight either.
When he eats wet cat food, he seems to not have any problems. So is it his food? Today, we started feeding him a different brand but he threw that up as well.

My dad wants to hold off on a vet for now because we don't have the spare money. And that Stilts seems completely fine. I'm watching him like a momma hawk right now XD

Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem like this.

Opening FR commissions today~
These will be done in between my others, and are only going to be headshots.
They can be flats or cell shaded, but they're all the same price.
10,000 TR each. You can send me a message on there (Akkie) or one here.
I really want an Imperial ;A;

SOPA is back again everyone :/

They're still going after all copyrighted materials on the internet, streaming sites such as Youtube being the main targets. However, sites such as DeviantART and FurAffinity are also in the line of fire once again.

We need 100,000 signatures, only 80,000 more to reach the desired goal.
I usually never post journals but let's shut this thing down one more time!

Yep. Tomorrow is the first day of school for me. Like jesus where did the summer go? D:

I'm not looking forward to waking up at 6am every day again, I liked sleeping till 1 XD
But aside from the early hours, I'm very excited to go back to school and be social again.

The classes shouldn't be as taxing as last year with history and what not, so I should have more drawing free time.
Which brings me to say that don't worry about commissions as they will get done.
School will make me unlazy I promise XD

Good luck to everyone who is/has started school and try to make the best of it. c:

~Akkie

[EDIT] Too many things happened today so I'll do it tomorrow :3

As some may have noticed, I've been kinda dead these last few days, maybe week. I've been having some problems with anxiety for some reason. I wake up with it, then go to bed with it. What's causing it I have no idea yet. But what better way to kick myself in the butt than to stream porn ;D

I have no estimated time when I will stream but I'll update journals/pictures when I'm online.

PS The porn is cleaner than most but you still know what's going on lol

You feature me and I'll feature you X3
You can choose a bet work that you want people to see the most, or just your profile.

(I'm trying to get people to be active again XD)

Only taking 5 right now to be worked on in September.
This is just ensuring you have a spot.
These will not be worked on right now and there is no immediate need for payment.
I'm working ful time on the commissions I have before I start school Aug 20.

Just comment below to get you a spot.
I will accept payment/refs early if so inclined. :3

I love these ladies so much <333

So I've been sitting on it for a few days and I created an adult account. Nothing is posted on it yet but I will probably do that tonight.
You can go stalk it now o3o

 my-devils-ride

Also the adult art on the AKKENAI account will be removed once reposted. :3

I wanna get to know some of my watchers, as I seem unapproachable to some Q.Q
So feel free to add me and talk :D
(Just don't be a creeper lol)

welp~ I have about 4 days left of my vacation. Wow, how fast 2 weeks went by!
Since all of the exciting stuff has passed I'll briefly tell all about it.

Seattle was wonderful oh my god. It's probably the most amazing city I've been to, I like it even better than NY. And they're awesome, don't get me wrong. But the weather was outstandingly cool and so many nice people. Though I could do without driving downtown @.@
But the Space Needle and surrounding museums were just fantastic and so interesting. Ugh I just loved every second.

Tucson is a different story however. It was hot and blah. And the nostalgia hit me so hard in the face. It was actually a little painful to be there with so many memories. But the most "exciting" time was at the hospital when I practically fainted.

I was getting a tour of different parts of the hospital and various pharmacy departments and blah blah. And I'm standing there listening to a patient talk with his doctor about his Thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) condition and i suddenly pretty much just fell over. Just out of nowhere. Soooo this brings me to my next topic.

I learned a couple years back that I was mildly anemic, probably inherited from my mother and not enough in my diet. I took supplements for awhile until I was cleared.

And now, within the past week, I've felt weak and fatigued. I get random bouts of dizziness and confusion. I could just be sitting there and it'll hit me. Everyone thinks my anemia has become more severe, with all the traveling and poor sleep schedules. I started taking stronger supplements today and will continue for awhile.

My brain has had a very difficult time focusing for long periods of time, like during drawing. If in streams I seem to space out or randomly disappear, I'm probably having a dizzy moment. They like to last for anywhere up to 10-20 minutes. hopefully this pills help and I don't have a more serious condition. x.x

I hope to start catching up on my owed art again when I get back home.. I haven't been able to art much during this time lol.
And keep an eye out for that ADULT account ;D

Gonna try and catch up on some sleep now~
Night everyone ^^

Online again. Might show my face idk >.>
Continuing Magnum.

Starting now, all MATURE/ADULT commissions are on hold. I will be leaving Friday to go on a two week trip with my grandparents. I don't want to have to explain to them what the furry fandom is. XD

I will come back and be on regular schedule starting July 20. It'll go by fast no worries ;p

~~~~~~

In other news, I've noticed that some watchers of mine are non-yiff. And since I'm getting a little back into drawing that, in consideration for them, I will be making a separate account for all of that adult art. Probably a little after I come back I'll set up that account and move any art from here to there.

I'll make a couple announcements once I get it up and running.

*flees off to draw sexy*

So I gave in today and created an account :3

Feel free to add me

Username: Akkie

I've just been doing puzzles all day XD

Starting today until probably next Saturday.

I haven't been feeling all that well in both health and emotions; my close friends know what's going on.

But as I said, I go on a vacation next Friday to get away from all of the stress.
But since I'll be traveling cross country, m sure the jet lag will catch up to me XD

I'm not taking a break from the Internet, but from drawing. Sorry to have to put commissions on hold, but with all the drama I haven't been able to draw very well or for very long.

Hopefully this vacation will do me some good and calm my nerves.

Take care everyone :3

~Akkie

I changed my mind about leaving them open all summer.
Since I am leaving for a 3-week vacation, I can't guarantee my internet service for that time. I should be okay in the hotels, I hope.

So any commission orders are due in to me by July 5th; as I leave the 7th. Payments are due until August 1st, unless you contact me with a reason you can't pay by then.

Please use my order form here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet.....ZKX2c6MQ#gid=0

ANd for any further information or questions, you can contact me at wolfparadise1 @ Gmail .com (no spaces)

Also note, any Mature/Adult rated commissions will be put on hold from July 6th-July 19th.

I'll make another journal when I leave, giving the details of my trip~

 bloodshadowthewolf - I can't with this person right here. The art, all of the sexy art. Go watch them right now. Because. I said so. *clings*

 eviljelllybeans One of my favorite dragon artists. Her anatomy is just wonderful and fffff
*She is OPEN for commissions* http://www.furaffinity.net/commissi.....iljelllybeans/

 myloveless - Another artist who has super cute art. <33

 Slushie-Nyappy-Paws - Her style is so adorable like I can't even. And how that person shades. *3*

 hysterics - She is fairly new to FA and her artwork is absolutely beautiful~ She has a wonderful sense of anatomy, and her shading style is wonderfully unique.

Seriously go watch all of these people. <333

I've shrunken my list down to a manageable 4 which are going to be worked on within the week's end. :3

They will probably be open from now until the beginning of August. I will be opening slots for certain commissions though. since some take longer than others. My prices haven't changed and you can see them with examples in my commission tab. Please contact me by EMAIL.. My address is wolfparadise1 gmai .com.

I have a commission form that I require people to fill out because it helps me keep track of who wants what.
Please fill it out if you wish to order a commission. It only takes a couple minutes. <3
