With the weather and my streaming software bugging out, I don't think I can stream effectively tonight. I will attempt any bugfixes under the hood and try to move tonight's stream to tomorrow night. Hopefully I'll have everything cleared up by then.

PS3 is being shelved for the foreseeable future until I can get a new controller for it. Tonight I'll show off a Minecraft Modpack i've been messing around with.

I'll have to postpone tonight's stream. Family obligations came up. I'll catch you all tomorrow! Keep your eyes peeled for an announcement, in case I decide to go live earlier!

Turns out I don't have Kiwami loaded onto my PC and it'll take about 2 hours. So I think I'll just finish DKC2 since I wasn't able to last Wednesday.

My good friend got me to purchase 30XX as an Early Access, and now I'm going to give my first impressions as I play around for a couple hours. Tune in at 7PM CST for what will (hopefully) be the final episode of Super RubberRoss World, as I have special plans for my birthday next week.

If I decided to do a crowdfunding image, how many people would actually go for it? Given my experiences with my last two YCH fiascos, I'm not sure I have the audience to offer any kind of premium content, since the most action I've seen so far was an art trade. And I offer commissions. So here's what I'm proposing:

I have a snake girl, and it's getting close to winter. I'm thinking of doing a crowd funded image set very similar to  madamsquiggles' "Moozel's Motherhood", but instead making it a November-long weight gain fest to help her make it through the cold winter. But I gotta know people actually want it before I just throw it out there. So I'd love to see a little feedback before I toss all my eggs into one basket here.

And I know, I'm not losing anything by getting no offers, but it still kinda hurts my self-esteem if I get no takers for an entire month.

On that note, how do people set these things up? Do they just keep track of all the payments made to their Paypal, do they use GoFundMe, something else?

I want to thank  slimeyjenkins for the idea of making a form for people who want to commission me. You can find the form at: https://fs2.formsite.com/tumbletrot.....rm1/index.html

I hope this helps get some new customers in.

My tablet pen has given up the ghost, but I found a great replacement for just under $20. As such, I'm offering $5 commissions until I can get this all sorted out. The rules of said commissions are as follows:

~Full shaded is on the table for these commissions
~NSFW will not affect commission price for this batch
~I will include the option for up to 3 characters in each commission

I'm not expecting the floodgates to open, but I would like a little help, and I'm offering to work for it. If you absolutely can't afford a $5 commission at this time, please pass on the word to someone else who might.

This should have been updated sooner, my bad. I have a current list of prices here. I am also offering "Graphite Sketches" like this or this for $2 apiece. Additional pricing for NSFW materials still apply. I thank you all for your continued patronage.

As of 3/7/2012, I am once again gainfully employed! I'm still accepting commissions, so if you want it, let me know. I can now do digital work once more.

And to all my watchers, thank you for not giving up on me. I'll try to get more artwork up soon.

I just got terminated from my job, so things are going to be really tight for me. I can't get on the internet as often as I'd please until I'm employed. I'm going to post updated prices here, and I can't ask you all enough for support. PLEASE commission me!

Every time I leave FA alone for an extended period of time, I get about 50 watches, favorites, and comments that are deleted by the user. Is there anyone else with the same problem?

I found a friend today.
I haven't seen her in almost two years.
I can't say hi to her.
She's blocked me...



Why am I such a pestilence?

Been asleep for the past 12 hours, possibly fighting off a virus. Going to the doctor's office for the first time in about five months, four years if you don't count a drug test as a doctor's visit.

Also, one of my best friends possibly went into labor about 19 hours ago from the time I post this. I hope she makes it out okay, this one's gonna be a doozy. Name and situation withheld to protect her identity.

(04/21/2011 12:17:15 PM) [name withheld] Well either I just pissed more than I have in my life in seconds or my water broke and since it doesn't smell I'll have to say I gotta go to the hospital. I'll try to get on there if my brother brings me the laptop.

Just keep the both of us in your prayers, okay?

UPDATE: Turns out I've got myself a nice case of pneumonia. 5 days of soup, bed rest, and boredom. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, PLEASE!

2nd UPDATE: My friend has delivered safely and is now recovering.

I just started my own PayPal account, so I'm ready to draw whatever you want for a very nominal fee.

Basic inks: $1.00 per character, +$0.75 for additional characters.

Color: $0.50 extra, +$0.25 per extra characters

Backgrounds: $1.00 - $2.00 (Sorry for the hike in price. I'm not very good at them, so it takes me a lot more time to do backgrounds properly.)

I will draw anything, all digital. All I need is:
Description or reference image
Poses
Background (optional)

Send payments to neoleo224[at]ymail.com and thank you all!

EDIT: Since I've been unable to pay my rent without cutting services, I'm going to be without internet. Either e-mail your request to neoleo224[at]ymail.com or give me a text with what you want, my cell number is (334) 596-2024. You'll have to describe as much detail as you can, since I can't view references online unless I use an outside computer.

(Maria): Hell-OOO my dahlings! The fabulous Maria Locklear here with an offer for all the pleasingly plump. Your bodies, I want them. Please send me images of yourselves, I must design new outfits for you all... -shuddering moan- Designing for Exis Talzar has left me with such a rush, I must design more! I will be waiting, sweeties! -wink-

(Me): MARIA! You can't hijack my radio signal on a whim! -sighs- Well, what's said has been said, and I can't take that back. You hear that in internet land? Send me some notes with reference pics and Maria will design you new clothes. He'll even take requests. Peace!

Well, well. It's been a while since I've updated, so let me start with a little news.
It SNOWED Friday in my little hometown! Not just flurries either, we're talking quarter sized flakes! I took a white walk, made a giant snowball with a new friend, and tossed little snowballs with my sister. All in all, even with work, I had a great day.

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and we've got love-birds pairing off two by two, while some of us either prefer or just find ourselves all alone. Whatever's going on in your life, I wish you a happy St. Valentine's Day.

EDIT: Did I forget to post this yesterday? Darn.

I am sorry.

I have never meant those words more than I do now. What I did this past week was inexcusable and immature of me. I had been hurt by your actions, but that doesn't justify what I did. Allow me to elaborate on why I went so nuts over you.

A Wednesday or so ago, you had cut things off with me, and I was devistated. After musing all night at work, I came back online, going to a personal ad website my 'brother' had given me. I posted an ad online, determined to move forward, when you came back and gave me a second chance. I was elated. I had then proceeded to make plans to meet you, which for your own reasons you decided to miss. I thought by waiting and contacting you with no mention of a relationship of any kind would prompt an explanation. When my message fell through and I discovered that you blocked me, I was infuriated.

Yes, I admit I am the one to blame for this entire mess. I was absolutely nuts over you, although I honestly did not want to rush things. I wanted to wait and meet you face to face, to take you out on an actual date before I called you my girlfriend. I wanted to make sure we had a solid foundation before we made any major life plans.

All the pictures I've posted, they were all in play. Just hopeful images spawned in my imagination. Yes, I took it too far. I went beyond your comfort zone, and I realize that now. I only wished that you would have told me so sooner. All I really wanted from you was honesty.

I want to have a mulligan on the 'second chance' you gave me, but this time, you contact me when you're ready. I'll wait as long as you wish. If you don't want to see me anymore, please let me know now. I want to know whether or not I should start moving ahead, or if there's still some little spark left.

I want one reply from you. Say whatever you want, even if it's just goodbye. I'll be waiting.

I am a pit of negativity at the moment. And we all have  irazombeh to thank. At the very least she could have been honest with me, but then again, no woman outside of my family has been. If I owe you artwork, note me and I'll get to it as soon as I can, but for now, I'm aiming to get closure.

Have a nice effin' day.

I got a hard slap in the face by reality recently, and it's made me look at what I really need to do with my life. A couple of days into the aftermath, I shook off my despair and started moving forward again. I then received a note from  irazombeh this morning and it's done nothing but help elevate my mood. But I am going to branch out a little more. I feel like I made a mistake focusing on one brand of art. Slowly, but surely, I'm making a comeback!

It's as the old man in the church(Pokemon DS) says:
"The art of crafting things fatigues one's spirit. When the spirit is healed, the desire to make something returns. It is such a wondrous cycle."

Well I'm feeling really drained right now. Don't expect anything new for a while unless I meet with  irazombeh again. I'm done for a while...

At my job, there are three machines with odd names. See if you can guess what they have in common:

Server: Sapphire
Register: Ruby
Old Register: Silver

I got caught up in hacking a newer pokemon ROM for a friend of mine on this site. I don't think I'll be done soon, but I hope to complete it for his birthday. Please bear with me, and I'll even take hack requests as well as art requests.

Bear in mind, when I say hack requests, I can only work with what is given to me. I'll only do map revamps for now.
