Hello everybody!

I'm probably going to be on here less. Extremely so, actually. I'm still drawing and accepting commissions etc, but I've been unemployed far too long not to be out hitting the pavement every day.

If anybody in the Phoenix metro area knows of any part or full time job openings, please let me know. I'm really willing to do next to anything.

The quicker I can get a job, the quicker I can be back here and doing wonderful artistic things. I assure you, however, that there won't be a complete artistic drop. I'm too obsessed with pokèmon to stop drawing in any way, shape, or form.

I love you guys, and I hope to be more active here as soon as possible!

I'm also on tegaki now, thanks to the lovely Dorian and Lani: http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/uentries.php?u=103183

I will keep that place updated as well with sketches and the like.

Just a heads up to my watchers and stuff, I'm going to be clearing out my gallery for the sake of being OCD in two days, which means on May 17th.

Not everything will go, but a lot of it will. Eventually I will have a portfolio website up, featuring the art I took down, and once that's all up and running, I'll link that here.

I'll be putting my less finished art (and a number of non-commission pieces) on my livejournal and tumblr.

I'd like to buy the code to the wind rider cub companion on WoW.

I can only use this code if you haven't, lol.
If anybody has them, post here with a desired price (if you're willing to sell). I don't need the plush, just the cub.

Does anybody know if this is going to come back in the store? I really wanted one, finally got enough money, looked, and bam! Sold out.
On ebay the pet+plush is like 119 dollars, and that's NO GOOD


also, commissions are still open.

icons; 6$
pictures; 10$


there is no longer an extra fee for excessive accessories or one additional character.
the third character in a picture is an extra three dollars, and that fee applies for every character after three, unless that character is a diglet or something simple, in which case a discount would be in order.

Hey guys, I need to make some money fairly quickly for vet bills and stuff, so I'm gonna offer y'all a small discount.

My icons are usually 6 dollars, I'll do them for four until I reach my goal. They'll be done within TWO days of me accepting your commission. When you purchase an icon from me, you always get the 300x300 and 100x100 sizes, unless you'd like different sizes.

Animations are going to be a flat rate of 15 dollars. I can most likely animate whatever you'd like, as long as it's somewhat simple. I'm not going to animate you a fight scene for 15 bucks, but a running/jumping/dancing sequence is completely doable, and so are most other things you can think of. They will be colored. Animations will take longer.

My "serious" pictures (usually pokemon) are usually 10, I'll be doing those for 7. Normal rules apply, excessive accessories or multiple characters are 3 dollars extra.
Any help is appreciated!

Loki's ears are already looking better, but I need to make up what was in my savings that I had to take out, so my goal is ...
65 dollars!

I'll take 5 at a time.

1. JJ&Dave -- joint icon.

5.

What are my options?
We just finished babysitting a cat who came from a house that has another cat who has mites. The cat we watched supposedly didn't, but now these things (I believe they're mites) are in my baby boy Loki's ears. Should I take him to the vet, or is there some sort of over-the-counter thing I can buy and give him? I'm home all the time and so I have plenty of time to take care of him.

I'm taking commissions still, and now I'm even taking animation commissions, ooh, ahhh. All my information is available here:

Add me as a friend if you'd like, I'd really like to start using livejournal more often. :)

I'm taking commissions for my icons, 5 dollars paypal each.

Comment here or note me if you're interested :)

It's raining outside again. It looks beautiful.

I'm listening to the most wonderful music, as well, and the two go together like coffee and creame. It's absolute bliss. On top of that I have a nice bowl of stir fry with some chow mein and a cup of gourmet coffee, mmm. Life is good.


If anybody has any questions for me, ask 'em here (no matter how personal) and I'll send you an answer.

What do you, as the audience, think that my art style says about me personally?

What type of feeling do you get from it, and what kind of feeling does that give you about me?

(These next two questions assume you actually know me. Only a few people on these boards do. So you may skip these last two.)

Do you think it describes my personality well?

If not, what do you think would reflect it better?

(I am gonna do thats tyle thing today, too, probably. I love that meme!)

I'd like to buy Fallout 3, the add-ons, Fallout 1, and 2 from Steam. But I don't have any money, so, I am opening commissions.

8 dollars for a picture like the pokemon images, which come fully shaded and with a transparent background, and 5 dollars for an icon/non remap furcadia portrait. These come in three resolutions: original size (300x300px) icon size (100x100px) and furcadia size (95x95px)

I'll also be offering some sort of animation package eventually. If that catches your interest, please drop me a note or a comment here.

What're your favourite pokemons?

I'm asking because I need some more pokemon to draw. I'm not gonna promise a picture of each one, but I'm going to at least try.

Please comment and let me know who you'd like to see!

Have any of you guys worked online? If so, where? Are you still working there? Would you recommend it to others? Are they hiring?

I am in dire need of a job, I was let go recently due to financial strain, and myself being the newest employee was one of the first six to go.

I've never had a particularily professional manager in my time working with who I'm working for, she usually docks my hours because I'm 'slow' or 'unexperienced', but she hired me knowing full well that I, a 19 year old college student, have no prior experience and will need time to get used to the fast-paced work environment she was inviting me to. I by no means depreciate the nice notion of hiring me, but... she hasn't given me hours in many weeks, since the week of christmas, actually.

Now, when I went in this afternoon to check if I had hours, my name is off the schedule. Am I fired? I don't know. They made no attempts to contact me. No voicemails, no missed calls, no letters, nothing. They still have my food handler card (they adamantly demanded I leave it in the store, I believe that's standard practice now). What do I do? What would you do?

I need some cash to fund my insane Totemland addiction.
You know you want to help me fund my insane Totemland addiction.

For right now, I'm taking five icon commissions, in my normal style. The price is 5 dollars. :)

It really frusterates me when you're genuinely upset/disappointed/worried about something and the person you're talking to about it makes the entire thing into a contest, seriously.

You know what kind of person I'm talking about.

me: man my balls itch
other person: my balls were stolen from me in an unfortunate wrestling tournament gone terribly wrong. a drunk irish man weighing in at 300 pounds and 4ft tall even bit them off and as i tried to grasp my testicles from inside his mouth the parademics shot me with what they thought was anistetic but it was actually a pure injection of malaria and so i spent 40 nights in the hospital while the star of House MD hugh laurie treated me but we didnt get along so he tried to kill me...


SHUT UP! God damnit. YOU WIN. You are officially more broken than me. I hope you're proud. >:I
...my balls itch.

What is your full name and its origins? What about any nicknames?

-My name is Whitney, and it originates from ancient Greece, it was the surname for Zeus, Hades, and Kevin Bacon; effectively making me the heir of the Bacon franchize and entitling me to the credit for all of the Tremors movies.

Have you any claims to fame?

-Apart for being the heir of everything everywhere, I've made my own accomplishments, such as watching the entirity of Death Note on MegaUpload in one sitting.

How would you introduce yourself?

-I'm so famous, introductions are not necessary, but you can kiss my feet if you'd like. Try to avoid the toe jam there, I'm trying to build a full-scale model of the Death Star before the world ends in 2012.

If you are famous in your world, how would you introduce yourself to someone who had never heard of you?

-I'm famous in every world, and everybody has heard of me, this question is illogical and should only be answered to those not of the blood, and by the term "the blood" I am most certainly referring to the sacrifice of our lord and savior (and my alter ego) Kevin Bacon.

Which of your culture's achievements do you hold in highest regard?

-Well we did slay those groundworms, despite rapid evolution capabilities, but I'd have to say the greatest accomplishment of our culture is without a doubt, Superjail! A close second was stealing the concepts, script, and character design of The Office from the Brits before they abducted Adult Swim.

Achievements?

-Did I stutter?

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

-I was never a child, I was always a sucessful adult, no older than 22, and the only documents of my supposed childhood are IQ tests that score me as having the mental capabilities of the child of Albert Einstein's brain after a steamy mating session with the brain of Thomas Hobbes, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, and Buffalo Bill.

What was your most prized possession as a child? Do you still have it?

-I think you have a hearing disability.

What would you change about yourself, if you could?

-Perhaps I could do with a hair-cut; but the problem is that my hair never grows, and it is made out of pure brunette diamonds (the most rare kind, an entire civilization of highly advanced mole people were mercilessly slaughtered under the Amazon riverbeds in the city of Amalantis, which is sometimes confused for the mythical city of Atlantis, to which it is extremely similar, except Amalantis is much more mystical, mysterious, and existing), and therefore can not be cut.

What are you obsessed with?

-Obsession is a weakness, so I abstain. This should be painstakingly obvious.

What is your greatest achievement so far, or the high point of your career?

-Probably assassinating JFK in my sleep while riding atop Lee Harvey Oswald after I had turned him into a mule. I shortly thereafter framed him for not only the murder of JFK, but Abraham Lincoln, the Black Dahlia, 80's hairbands, the Lord of the Rings, and of course the infamous murder of Julius Caesar. "Et tu, Oswald?"

When/where were you happiest?

-Happiness is an illusion. All I know is 'ball', and 'good'. And 'rape'.

And the lowest point in your life thus far?

-Peewee Herman's passing was particularly hard on me.

What was the best decision you ever made?

-Every decision I make is my best decision, as I lack the ability to make mistakes.

If you have any body modifications, which was most painful, or which do you regret the most? If you haven't got any, do you have any planned, or would you ever consider getting any?

I- do not need to modify my body, as I am all-powerful and able to mold my shape at any time I desire.

What is the most idiotic thing you have ever done while intoxicated?

-I do not become intoxicated. When I drink, the overwhelming beauty and charisma of my eloquent thirst quenching is so potent that instead the alcohol becomes intoxicated and I have to call it a cab home.

What is your favourite joke?

-Jokes do not amuse me.

What is the coolest/most impressive thing you own?

-Probably the entire universe. It's pretty large and impressive, I think if I ever felt the primal instinct to brag I'd probably go into more detail about its all-encompasing expansiveness, spilling out into everything ever and making it all mine, exclusively. But bragging is for the weak minded.

When did you last cry, and why?

-Do you remember Noah? Yeah, he could tell you.

What's the best piece of advice you've ever had?

-I do not require advice, as I am the epitome of perfection.

Similarly, what's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for you?

-I do not rely on others.

Have you any vices?

-No, I grant access to no weaknesses.

Do you regret anything?

-No, I have never done anything wrong.

What is the best invention ever?

-My existance.

How would you describe your relationship with your family?

-I have no need for oedipal relations, and so I murdered them seven thousand years ago, although if I need to attend a colloquial gathering at which it would be customary to invite my relatives, I simply ressurect them, push away the stone from the door of their tomb, and then ask the virgin Mary to get the hell out of the way, as Grandpa is old and he may trip over her pathetic form.

Who is your biggest inspiration?

-Myself, obviously...

What are you going to do when you've finished this interview?

-Create life on fifteen thousand other planets, in the 6th dimension so you can not see with your heads full of eyeballs.
