Commission UPDATE! Vacation for a few days
Posted 5 years agoHey guys,
Quick update!
So thankfully things are starting to get better in my country with Covid (Ireland) and we are now permitted to vacation within our own country. I will be gone from today until Thursday. It was a rather spontaneous decision on my family's part so there will be a pause on my commission queue until I'm back. After months of being locked indoors and no college graduation, this is much much needed!!
As always I'm ever so grateful for your patience and support, thank you for understanding. <3

Commissions closed for now! Big thanks!
Posted 5 years agoWhewww okay so the support this week has been overwhelming so much so I had to close up shop for a little while! (I've never gotten such an amount of commissions that caused me to close orders :'D)
I'm so honoured and express great thanks and gratitude to all you lovely people who are supporting me with your patronage! ^u^ <3
I understand there are more people interested in commissions but I must close now for a week or so while I work through what I have. I do look forward to working with you all very soon! Don't hesitate to contact me about future commissions however c':
Lots of love

I wanna do a free art raffle! Recommendations pls?
Posted 5 years agoHey guys!
Hope you're all well <3
I was thinking of doing a free art raffle to help my account grow some more while giving back to my dear watchers but I'm not sure how I'd go about it? I know FA doesnt allow reposts on raffle ads and such. Anyone have any recommendations?
Also what would you like to see as a prize?
Let me knowwww ~ ^u^

Delay in commissions, sick and new commissions are closed...
Posted 5 years agoHi all,
Writing this journal to close my flow of commissions for now, I've been feeling under the weather the last few days and I'm not sure what it is, just praying it isn't covid but can't rule it out. I have aches all over and I am experiencing headaches and other ailments, I need to monitor myself and stay at home. I will be taking my time with my current queue, I am getting through them steadily so I do ask for your continued patience and thank you for your support. Also I would like to note I may not work on commissions in chronological order, I will be working on them according to how I feel. (For example if I feel well enough to tackle a large illustration or feel sick so can only complete a sketch com.)
All my love <3
My current queue
1x 2 character illustration Ginroash
1x Reference Sheet talvinen_borealis
1x Character Design straythekitsune
1x Sketch Commission Jaycathebronze
1x Offsite portrait painting.
(If I missed you please let me know)

FA PLEEEAASE allow username changes sooooon
Posted 5 years agoOkay so literally one of the reasons I went on hiatus was because stoopid FA still wasnt allowing username changes and I felt because of my stupid ass username that is literally a BODILY FUCTION was ruining my branding because if you searched me you literally couldnt find me and it's not exactly a username you remember either. I dont know WHAT possessed me to give myself such a dumb username maybe it's because I wanted to be hard to find for people I know so I picked something completely obscure not knowing it would effect my progress so much -_-
So like FA, please, it's been long enough and promised for years now, give us the goddamn username changes.
I'm sure heaps of you feel the same way lol. Being stuck with a username you made when you were like 13 is just bad for growth man.

I'm coming baaaaack + Commissions!
Posted 5 years agoHey everyone! Not sure if my followers remember me but I wanna drop in, say hi and announce that I'm gonna come back to FA!
I left last year because I wanted to fully commit to my college course and learn some other areas of art. I missed the fandom and drawing cute characters so much so after a lot of deliberation I'm gonna come back and give it another shot for the fun of it! While I was gone I worked on lots of projects and other kinds of art which I've uploaded some of and will continue exploring other kinds of art which you can view on my two Instagram accounts Radioactive.goldfish and Kerri.mcdonald.3ddesign.
Since it's been awhile, I have nothing but time on my hands and wanna get back into drawing some cute chars, I'm opening for commissions! They're fairly loose and experimental to help get back into the swing of things, and they will also be fairly cheap so shoot me a note and we can get chatting! I'm super excited to getting back up and going again.

Leaving Furaffinity and The Furry Fandom
Posted 6 years agoHey everyone, long time no chat!
So to put it bluntly, I'm leaving the furry fandom and with that I'm leaving furaffinity. I have no problems with the fandom at all, it's just my art is taking a new direction, and I would like to invite those of you who have supported me to perhaps join me on my new art endeavors. I'm relocating to my instagram Radioactive.goldfish. Here you will be able to follow all my new art work which will be fantasy related. I hope you can join me there!
https://www.instagram.com/radioactive.goldfish/
I also just want to take this opportunity to offer a massive thank you to all my darling watchers here who have supported me through the years. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. Your encouragement and love brought me far, and I will always love this fandom for their kind and warm people, I will always hold it close to my heart.
Lastly, If you have an instagram account feel free to post it below so we can support one another on the platform.
Thank you for reading, hopefully this isnt goodbye, but rather a new beginning <3

Interest Check! Massive line art pack? Would you like?
Posted 7 years agoPoking around to see if anyone would be interested in this~
I was thinking of making a big pay to use reference sheet pack that would have different body types, genders, species, expressions, accessories and other details like color swatches and headshots etc.
I would offer this line art pack for $15 more or less.
Would anyone be interested in that? Let me know and tell me what you'd like to see species-wise etc!

Very busy with college electives. Owed art will be slow.
Posted 8 years agoThe next 2 weeks in college are going to be hella busy. I started my comics elective last week and it runs for 3 weeks total. I have to make a 6 page comic once a week, which as you can imagine is quite a bit of work. If I knew it would effect how quick I'm able to hand out owed art I wouldn't have chosen this elective. -_- Honestly thought it wouldn't be this busy haha. Very sorry guys to those waiting for art but it may take a lil longer than expected! ^^;
I'm very sick :: Note to my commissioners
Posted 8 years agoIt is the middle of the night as we speak, I have the flu and my whole body is in pain, i can't so much as move my arms much or even swallow without pain. I'm exhausted and I cannot even sleep. I honestly feel like I'm going to die. Commissions will be put on hold until I'm better, hopefully after this week. Unfortunately I need to get an extension for my college project which I am so not happy about. Please understand guys, I'm just riddled with aches and pains, sore throat, congestion and fever. I hope I will be back to running order soon. Thank you so much for reading.
Anyone into Vikings and Scandinavian culture? I need help!
Posted 8 years agoHi guys! So the thing is I just got my brief for my next prop making module in college and I have to make a chess set and a film prop based on the vikings. It can't just be like any viking chess set you might see anywhere else though, it has to be unique and different to what my tutors have seen before. I got this theme at random through a draw so I'm a little worried I won't be able to put a unique twist on it. There has been a viking chess set made by a student every year and the only ones I know of is a bone theme and another is a sea themed viking set.
I was hoping that someone with a keen interest in Viking culture would be able to help me out with coming up with a unique idea to put forth in a design to fabricate. Also an idea for a unique viking prop would be awesome too!
Thank you in advance!

Withdrawing from my auctions. Do NOT be that person.
Posted 8 years agoI'm so tired time and time again of people bidding on auctions and withdrawing leaving me empty handed for my work. Art is my only source of income right now and its what is helping me feed myself each week. Each character design I do and each commission I do I put my heart and soul into it and I really do NOT appreciate time wasters. Withdrawing bids from an auction that is literally just about to finish is cruel and some sick joke because for some it is all we have. I am now left without money for next week and have to desperately scramble for what I can to keep me going and not have to borrow.
Those who withdraw from my auctions will be blocked from my account. Unless you have a good reason, do NOT bid on my auctions and withdraw last minute.
I am sick and tired of working my damn ass off and getting walked over for it. Just don't be that dick.

READ: Future of Adoptables and Commissions and new Schedule
Posted 8 years agoGood Morning everyone!
Today I have an important update to share with you all. Tomorrow I am moving back to college so with that comes obviously rent and food expenses, as well as supplies and materials. So in order to supplement this I am putting in place a new schedule so insure I will be able to feed myself and pay rent.
1. From now on I will be doing one large adoptable with reference/adoptable batch a week. These character designs will be of high quality, and not on bases (provided everything goes to plan. I may have use the same base for a whole batch if I am stuck for time with projects but I assure you I will make them high quality). I will make the design(s) to post on a Tuesday which allows me time to gather money for the following week.
2. Commissions will be less frequent. Basically I will not be taking a lot of commissions. Commissions for me do not sell as well as my adoptables do so I will be prioritising them. I may take one or two every now and then just to supplement my rent and grocery charges.
If you've read this far, thank you so much for your attention! I really do hope you will continue to support me as it will be a tough year only having one day of work a week, but regardless I will do my best!
OFFERING ART SLAVERY FOR A CUSTOM DESIGN BY A CERTAIN ARTIST
Posted 8 years agoOkay so I don't know if this will be of interest to anyone but I have my heart absolutely SET on a character design by Vani. Honestly ever since her sheltie batch came out I totally fell in love, and Shelties are my pride and joy. I was devastated when I couldn't get one. With College coming up next week I won't have the cash for a long long time so I'm offering art slavery.
Basically, a custom design by her is 350$ or possibly $375 depending on complexity
You will get art slavery from me for that amount.
I would basically do one or two pieces of work for you a week until it's value totals $350
This can be a mixture of large pieces, fullbodies or sketches, totally up to you! As long as it equals $350 or $375
Heres what my stuff is worth:
Full coloured and shaded large piece: $60
Full body and shade: $40
Flatcolour: $30
Headshot: $25
Custom character design: $80
You can split the art slavery with a friend or more than one friend as long as I get a custom Vani design and the slavery equals the value of the design. Just note me if interested!

Might go back to using 1 account
Posted 8 years agoSo i'm thinking this whole 2 accounts thing is kind of messy and I can't seperate my art between 2 whether it's adopts or full works because my whole audience is on this one. But it's the username that's the problem, no one can find me when they search! Idk I must think about it but I'm heavily considering just using this one since I have spent a lot of time and effort building this account. I'll keep you posted <3
Keeping this account as a sales account
Posted 8 years agoHey all! So I have made a new account and mostly moved but I decided I will keep this account for all my auctions and sales etc. and use my AtomicMilkshake account for mainly personal stuff. I think it's better this way so just a heads up there will still be content here.
:: I Have Moved Account!! :: Please Read
Posted 8 years agoI've finally decided to move account since this one is pretty damn cluttered to say the least! My new account is here:
atomicmilkshake
atomicmilkshake
atomicmilkshake
I will be keeping that account for personal works and some commission works (Bigger pieces) While here I will still be posted adoptables and stuff. It would mean a whole bunch if you followed me there pretty please! Thank you all for your kind support over the years on this account I truly love you all!

I quit my job.
Posted 8 years agoHey guys.
So I finally quit the job I had. The pay was under mimimum wage and it was causing me too much stress and anxiety. I hadn't been paid for my work for 4 weeks. The boss was horrible and treating his employees like shit. Plus we were made say long after we were paying paid for. My co workers weren't the nicest either..
I'm gonna throw up some designs for auction because I'm very stuck for money right now. If I owe you something please have patience I will have it for you shortly, I just need to earn a bit of money until I can find something else.

I want to move account. Please read.
Posted 8 years agoHey guys!
So, most of my followers here know me as 'Breathe', and this account has the biggest following compared to any of my other accounts on other sites and I appreciate that soo much. But "Breathe" is simply not a name I identify with in any way,
and the whole thing of not being able to change your username on FA pisses me off to no end. Anyway, my alias online is AtomicMilkshake, I'm not sure if you guys knew that but that's my name on every other site and has been for years and most likely always will be. Idk what made my pick "breathe" but I regret that holy shit.
Anyways, I want to move account so I can keep my alias consitant. But, I'm not sure how to go about it. I don't want to lose all my followers, so I was thinking of keeping this account as an adoptable account, and keeping another account with the name AtomicMilkshake for all my personal and commission work. But that means I lose commissioners too ;A; I don't know what the best thing to do would be so please help me figure that out! I really hate this account name and wish it were possible to change it. It causes a lot of confusion I feel. Anyway, please let me know your suggestions!
I've had enough.
Posted 8 years agoEver since I came home from college in April life has been miserable. I still live with my parents since I'm 19 and this shit country is too expensive rent wise. Anyway my parents are both alcoholics and fight CONSTANTLY. It's been like this for years but since I left for college I didn't have to deal with it but now I do until I go back but that isnt for ages. My dad is at the bar every single day and my mam stays in drinking every night and they butt head like there's no tomorrow and drag me into them. I have begged them and spoke to them so many times to get help but they won't recognise they have a problem and refuse to get help. I begged them to get marriage counselling, to get counselling for their alcoholism atleast but no. No no no. I am constantly pouring wine bottles down the sink, my dad screams at me everytime he comes home from work and pisses off to the bar. I feel I have relationship with him. My little brother is 15 and has to live with this while I'm away. My depression is back and getting worse by the day. I don't have friends around here, my only friend lives 3 hours away and I can't even drive so there's no escape. Please, does anyone have any advice on trying to help this? I'm naturally a caring and helpful person and I constantly try to help people but being so involved in this is destroying my happiness. I just can't deal with it anymore. I'm getting nothing done either. I just hate this shitty life.
EDIT: Their families are no help either. My aunts and uncles like to brush shit under the carpet and get on with their own lives. Ive asked for help many times.

Thinking of specialising mainly in character design auctions
Posted 8 years agoHey everyone!
I've been thinking of mainly doing character design auctions and flats rather than commissions here. I want to know what your opinions are on that ;A; I find designing characters much for enjoyable and commissioners are really hard to come by for me. But I won't turn them down, only a few here and there. Do you think I should continue on here with my designs or make a seperate account for them? Doing this will most likely give me more time for personal stuff too. ^u^
Just let me know what you think!

Heads up commissioners and future commissioners.
Posted 8 years agoI'm just writing this journal to let it be known that I post adoptables between commissions, so please don't be alarmed if you see this. I haven't forgot about any commissions! For me adoptables bring in more money and commissions are so few so I have to try earn a good amount of money each week/month to go towards college. Also my commissions are done anywhere from a couple of days after ordering to a month. No longer. Thank you for reading!
