that is all

Here's the plan for finishing some art pieces this week and the coming weeks:

Priority order:

 swanda comes first - they've waited far too long and I feel like an ass! So I will finish that one first.
 flash_adalwolf is next - I feel terrible for making him wait too! So he's next
 jynxleopard is the next one. He's been waiting a bit, too. And his nagging is obnoxious so I wanna get that done XD before I punch him lol
 nyghtwolf Though their end of the trade isnt done yet either, I'll work on my end because it's been a long while.

Then I will finish up the outstanding requests (previously) for retardicons

Then any misc ones/contest winner images

Then I'll be open for comissions again....TIMELY ONES (I'm gonna stop being so goddamn lazy haha)

I wish this were under better circumstances, but:
I'm looking for a skilled artist to do a portrait of my grandma's lovable cat, Newt, who has just recently passed. He was her only company and she is stricken with sadness over the loss. In our opinion, he was my grandpop reincarnate. He was kind and gentle, and so lovable. And he died far too young...
I'd like to get his portrait commissioned to give to her as a gift in remembrance. Here are some references of the sweetiekitty (album of 9 images):

http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/.....onsterCB/Newt/

Please leave a comment, with either a link to price quotes or the quotes themselves. Any references of your work would also be appreciated. I'm looking for realistic styles.

I, and my grandma, would really appreciate it. Thank you.

-Bibby

If I opened up commissions for sketches, EXAMPLE http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4070978 for roughly $15 (depends on complexity) for one character, would anyone be interested?

I don't do NSFW, for the record. :)

So...anyone?

I'm so excited - wow! Thank you all for the views, faves, watches, and comments! HUGS FOR ALL OF YOU! :D

All your support has inspired me to upload everything I've been meaning to!
Lots of sketches COMIN YOUR WAY!

THANK YOU

Love,
Bibby

I found the source of the ants comin into mah house.

Also found roughly A BAJILLION ants crawling along my family room moldings.
Killed them with bugspray.
Stopped my cat from licking bugspray.

The rain we had here recently has leaked into my basement corner, as always. Of course, my art desk and shelving unit and painting table are in that corner too.
But everything is ok...I moved what needed to be moved. It's all good for now.

Finished the wash layer of my painting for class.
Still need to do the wash layer for the other one.
The one that's finished was quite complicated.
Gradient and texture finish. Took a while.

Jaga called me.
Told me once again how awesome Aion is. I don't have said game. Nor would I have the time to play it if I did.
But hey, at least SHE is having fun. T_T

I'll be staying up a bit late tonight to work on my paintings...
gotta get a lot done so I can have like 2 seconds of fun before school starts up again.

Saw my english teacher at Ulta today.
Reminded me that oh yeah, school exists. shit. :(

Waiting for a layer of paint to dry right now.

I got into the Kutztown Honors program - I feel special. :D

My MRI was moved - yay (i didn't really have the time anyway...woulda been one stressful MRI)

Easter is tomorrow. Yay candy! :D

It WILL be colored.
I'll leave the link to it as a shout once I post it.

So, who's happy to be hearing those adorable little songbirds in the morning?

-Bibby

talked with  drenko and came to an understanding. I will be credited for the idea on the image's description, and in exchange, allow me to clear his name. Sorry man. I over-reacted. I'm just paranoid sometimes I guess. Very protective over my artwork.

So forget what I said about him, all is well in life for the moment :)

ANYway shout out to - got ur drawing done! need to ink it. :)

Alright so I was up til 3:15 am last nite....erm....this morning i guess lol....so I'm gonna go get ready 4 bed ^^

Night, everyone! :D

This http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3586079

was stolen from me. here's the original.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3436820/



They also are SELLING THEM. I gave them out for free as requests.

He stole my work....even if he changed it like 1%, it's obvious that it's mine....

I'm really upset about this. :'(

I sent messages to dragoneer and silver r wolfe already...

This is scaring me, guys. Really.

-Bibby

EDIT: talked to Drenko, we worked it out, they were only intended for private use. He's NOT selling them, I was misinformed there. It still upset me, but now I have credit in the description. It was my original idea, and that still upsets me that I got no credit at first. I'd just like to put it behind me. We've continued to talk, he's not continuing the series. So I'll be ok.

BUT IF ANYONE EVER STEALS MY ARTWORK, CLAIMS IT AS THEIR OWN, WITHOUT PROPER CREDIT TO ME, I WILL HUNT. YOU. DOWN.

Don't think I won't. I will.
