I'm gonna hop on over to a new account and give myself a fresh start. I've gotten pretty attached to two new usernames, so I'll either be sparkvagabond or blitzkriegbastard depending.

Soooo if you want to keep up with what I'm doing (cosplay,art, or otherwise) check one of those names in the next day or so.

I'm in kind of a tight spot for cash and will be doing reduced price commissions for a while.

Check out my info! I'm knocking about five dollars off all the prices.
Slots are unlimited as of right now!

Promos get two more dollars knocked off the price.

PLEASE SEE COMMISSION SHEET BEFORE ASKING ABOUT COMMISSIONS.


RULES
1. Cash is preferred. I will accept points in some cases.
2. I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TURN DOWN A COMMISSION!! If I'm uncomfortable drawing something, I will turn it down. If you are unnecessarily rude, I will turn it down. If you rush me, I will turn it down. Sometimes I will turn things down simply because I'm to busy. Please don't take offence if I happen to turn you down. It doesn't always mean you were being rude or out of line or anything. I will always explain myself in this case.
2. PLEASE have appropriate references or detailed descriptions for OC's. Be as specific as possible on all commissions.
3. Do not harass other buyers if you miss your chance for a slot.
4. I will not negotiate prices, period. You don't like my price, you're free to go to someone else. This is what I value my time and effort as. You complain, you won't get a slot at all.
5. Do not harass me to work quicker; I have a job and am a full-time college student. I can only do so much at a time.
6. I will ask for half-payment up front. If you back out on a commission, you will not get that back. I cannot dedicate my time to drawing something and then have someone tell me they don't want it anymore when I could have other commissions to work on.

I WON'T draw: animals, robots (both of these are case by case basis), porn, and a few other things that I can't think of right now.
For furry/animal art, go see my friend  kerothestrange! She does an amazing job at producing quality art!

I had to order a whole new tablet just to replace my tablet pen and have been having an emotional meltdown about it all night. The con's of owning an off brand drawing tablet. ; n;;
So once I get it, I'm gonna probably open some sort of commissions to help cover the cost of it.
If you guys could spread the word, I'm gonna try and come up with a price sheet in the mean time.

Yoooo, I realize I haven't really said anything since before Matsuricon. All and all, things went well save for me going through a rocky relationship. Won't go into details and friends that know what went on will get what I mean. But!! I made an awesome friend and we're super close and it's awesome!

Onto other things, I hope to be opening a joint Redbubble with them and selling original works and One Piece fan art. Next year at Matsuricon, we hope to run an artist alley table if we get things together in time. Fingers crossed!!

A lot of cosplay working has been going on, too, and I've added Portgas D. Ace and Nicolas Brown to the long list of things to do. Rob Lucci and Ace are still at the top of the list though, that's for sure.

I've been pretty busy with running my Law ask blog and a joint AU ask blog and then school and work on top of that, so not a lot of personal art going on. But, there is definitely arting. :D Might post some of that stuff here and there, but not often.

And I'm considering opening a few commission slots just for extra money for gas, car stuff, and potentially rent. We'll have to wait and see how things work out, how my time is, and general interest.

Anyways, thanks for reading this if you went all the way through! >u<

Story-boarding is hard :U

But, finally got my mojo back to work on original things for my own set of military characters. Doing some serious concepting and story-boarding a video I've wanted to make since this song came out. I even have a neat little notebook to write down plot and informational stuff.

Not a lot in the fanart business going on, though. I doodle Law now and then but it's more for stress relief than anything. I have an idea for a sort of One Piece - Magic Mike/Stripper AU but I'm not great with posing and proportions, so it's not gone anywhere yet.

Cosplay goes much better and I'm working on a special project that won't be reviled to Matsuricon in August and a few other things with my Law cosplays and potentially a Luffy and Zoro one. Bonney still needs some work, too, but I need to finish learning how to sew first.

Not that anyone cares for an update on my life, but I felt like posting something since I've been pretty inactive for a while. :P

I have a question.

I’m making a set of One Piece stickers to sell and don’t know where would be best to sell them.

So, which is better - in your opinion - Storenvy or Redbubble? Or is there an even better place to do that?

I would really appreciate the help!!

Do NOT read this and then make some dumbass comment about this because I am not in the mood for stupid.

I’m so upset.

My best friend and rp partner basically told me they hated the ship we always shipped in rps because we broke up. That’s the only reason. Sure, we liked to compare ourselves to the characters, but it seems like such a dumb reason to me, to basically say all our rps that are over a hundred pages long, that we put so much time and thought and effort into, will now sit and never be touched because they liked to compare a ship to us. And now my favorite muse is gone and looking at pictures of him just reminds me of how much I hurt.

We had a good reason to break up since I’m cold and distant and don’t function properly = in relationships and both of us have depression and it didn’t help either of us with how I was but…

I don’t even want to rp with them anymore. Not that I even can without my muse. I can’t make myself write anything.

I can't even tell if I'm mad or sad or depressed anymore.

Hey guys, I'm selling all my Homestuck cosplay stuff!
You can find the information here -> aquariusarmageddon.tumblr.com/…

Or, if you don't want to go to the link, tell me and I'll compile the pictures and prices and make another post about it. Just message me here if you're interested!

I'm looking to commission someone to make a set of snow leopard ears and a tail for cosplay. I don't have a ton of money, so I'm kind of hesitant to look around at pricing, but if you know anyone good that's willing to negotiate - payment plans or something like that - I'm very interested!

So I’ve had SAI for years and all of a sudden it stopped working. Can’t open it, nothing. Any ideas how to fix? I’ve tried pulling it off and putting it back on, so I know that doesn’t work… It worked fine yesterday….

For those of you who have me on skype, I have a new account now. Message me if you want it.

If I made little packs of assorted Pokemon cards or Magic: The Gathering cards(15 to 20 in a group), would anyone be interested in buying? They’re collecting dust in my closet and I want them out. Idk yet how much I’d sell them for, but it wouldn’t be to pricey.

Suddenly really motivated to work on some adoptables.
Anything you guys want to see in particular?

Like certain animals, themes, clothing styles? Maybe military, pirates, or medieval?
Do you want non-detailed chibis or full body, with full detail?

I'm having a really bad night

I'm hoping to become a lot more active here since I've decided to leave DeviantART save for doing adoptables there.
Commissions are kind of an iffy thing right now since I am just now getting out of an art rut, but I'm willing to talk about it if anyone is interested. I must warn you that I'm on the slower side as an artist, but I do my best. And I'm still not the greatest at animals, but I'm working on it.
Should be getting some character references up soon, if I can keep myself on track.

And I think that's just about all of it. Thank you all for putting up with my nonsense and lack of posting!
(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ I adore you all~ *:･ﾟ✧

A friend of mine is looking for someone to commission for a long coat for Basil Hawkins (pre-timeskip) from One Piece. If you guys happen to know anyone who does that sort of thing, please drop me a message so I can help him out in finding someone to commission, since neither of us have ever commissioned someone for cosplay stuff.
Thank you all in advance!

Hey guys, I’m going to start trying to use my Twitter more now.

If you want to see little sketches I do or see WIPs or my stupid ranting, go follow me ( https://twitter.com/ColonelDark ), okay?

Don’t feel pressured to or anything, just giving you all a heads up.

Okay, so I'm struggling with some nasty art block and the like and I need something to help me break it.
I will be doing sketches like this: http://sta.sh/0214zhemwzk4


Single character only, simple actions, nothing fancy.

There are five open slots, first come first serve. Do not fight over spots and I'm sorry if you comment to late.

SLOTS:

1.
2.
3. OPEN
4. OPEN
5. OPEN

Comment away, yo.

This account is going to be converted into an account mostly for adoptables. I will post personal art now and again, but not very often.

Adoptable batches will be posted every other week, with the usual size being six adoptables in a batch. I may go bigger or smaller depending on what happens in that particular span of time. I will keep you all posted if there will be no posts in a specific week. These will be point/paypal adoptables, though I can not guarantee a set price for them.

I will be attempting to do a big auction of a full body character/reference sheet once a month starting in March. Auctions will be paypal only. I will be taking suggestions for these. That does not mean I will use your idea if you offer it.

Adoptables and auctions are posted on both my DeviantART and this account, so keep a close watch on things. Something you want might get sold on the other site.

I will accept commissions for custom adoptables, both full body and chibi. Prices will be provided when asked. If you send me a commission, please be as specific about what you want as possible.

Well, that's about it. If you have any other questions, drop me an ask or send a note!
Thank you for reading!

~AA

wanna do more adoptables, but I'm not sure what to do.

SO, what kinds of adopts do you all want to see from me? More shotas, animals, sharks, made up creatures? I'm game for pretty much anything.


Don't be scared to leave suggestions - and please remember suggestions are not the same thing as requests. Just because you leave one, doesn't mean it will for sure happen.

Thanks, all!
Dark out.

I'm transitioning to Weasyl.
Some information about one of the staff members recently came my way and I can't say I'm to terribly happy about hearing it and seeing how it was handled by other staff members. Not going to name names or anything, since I don't feel like getting suspended.

https://www.weasyl.com/~aquariusarmageddon

Come check me out!

Okay DeviantART, there’s a really sweet girl in the world named Sam, she’s a friend of mine, and her house burned mostly down. The damage is extensive, her family is staying at a Red Cross, and they’ve lost nearly everything.

So. Netherguard and I are taking charity sketch commissions. $3 a headshot, $5 waist up, $7 full body, practically any character, OCs, pokemon, you name it, throw it at us, we’ll talk about it. Send me or NG a message. All money collected this way will go to Sam and her family. You must be able to pay with Paypal, this is the only restriction.

Even if you can’t/don’t want to commission us, please spread the word. We appreciate every commission, and we thank you for reading this post! If you wish to commission, Netherguard, please contact him through the link on his name up there to his Tumblr.



I am doing these on top of regular commissions, so you will need to specify whether its for this or not, thank you!

My tablet is being really touchy and not working properly, so commissions are going to take even longer. I'm so, so sorry to those I owe things to, I will do my best to get them done with in the next two weeks. I just need to figure out how to get my tablet to work with me. Though it may be the USB ports in my computer going bad because this thing is actually getting pretty old. And then I need to work on things for an ask blog I run and then some personal art for so I can maybe start a profolio.

And I've finally found a degree for college I will be starting in the spring (Computer Design, Animation, and Game Design), but it's not at the college I thought I would be going too. So, any of my buddies here from Ohio going to Kent State, Stark county campus? I would love to maybe chill with you and learn more about the college.

So one of my buddies () is doing a Christmas art raffle, you should def check her out yo.
Her art is seriously adorable.
