Car accident/out of work
Posted 7 years agoI wish I had a happier update for you all especially around the holidays, but I dont.
I was in a car accident the friday before thanksgiving (Nov 16th) and my life and everything in it has been on hold since then.
I had 2 others in the car with me, and the other driver made a left turn in front of me and I t boned them. hard.
both cars are destroyed, the brand new car I had just gotten in May is totaled.
I wish I could say everyone is ok, for the most part we are aside from myself and one other person who was in the car.
I myself have a cracked rib, and I'm now in physical therapy for my neck, my hip, and both knees as I slammed into the dashboard of my car and got knocked out for a moment.
One of my passengers has a broken tail bone and needs physical therapy on her back as well.
Other than that, everyone is okay.
But, due to my injuries I can't work, and that also limits myself on working on artwork. I can't sit for a long time or stare as a paper or screen for a while due to my hip and neck. It also hurts to breathe sometimes but theres nothing you can do for a rib injury.
I will be working on artwork, however slowly, while I piece my life back together. I will be opening soon for commissions hopefully once I clear a batch I'm working on.
If you have any questions, wanna see pictures of the accident, or in general want to chat, send me a note or comment. I'm more active on snapchat and instagram as well. IMPORTANT UPDATES
Posted 7 years agoHello all! I would first like to take a step and say for current commissions they are in progress, however I had been hospitalized and I'm still currently on a medical leave, hence the disappearance.
I'm still recovering, if you would like to know the details you can send me a note
From here on I will be active and doing weekly updates every Friday or Saturday with mass uploads and commission updates.
With that being said, especially since I was in the hospital and I will be on a medical leave till October from my regular job, I need to open for an emergency bill. More details will come in the morning though, please bare with me as I get everything in order! TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL ARTWORK PRICE UPDATE
Posted 8 years agoHey all! For 2018 digital and traditional pricing has been updated!
There are some minor updates, as well as some major updates. On average I spend about 6 hours+ minimum per piece and doing the math, i was only making $3-$4 an hour with artwork, sometimes less.
With these updates it is now more of a sustainable rate, as well as these pricing especially for traditional include shipping, lamination, and materials used.
I will be open very soon as well! stay tuned! Account updates: MOVING STATES AND ART UPDATES
Posted 8 years agoGood afternoon all! I wanna apologize for my absence and would like to update everyone with whats going on with my life
To start off, art has been very slow but I'm finally getting a more regular schedule from my day job so my art schedule will start to be more regular as well
I'm looking to clear my queue especially of the pinups within the next two weeks and hoping to open for badge commissions by the end of this month so i can make an extra 200-400 a month on top of my job to cover health care and moving costs.
with that being said, My husband and I are moving back to Colorado in March 2018! We have a lot of funds to cover and thats why I really need to clear my queue as soon as possible.
Art will be posted either whenever I am able to or WEEKLY, and I'll also be updating my FA and Facebook page daily to weekly as well (or as needed)
So keep an eye out for new art soon!Sorry for the disappearance!!
Posted 8 years agoHELLO ALL!! im SLOWLY working through commissions, i do work TWO jobs so working on commissions is a bit hard at the moment cause my days off usually is filled with errands and catching up on chores and most the time when i get home from work im too exhausted to continue
i will be trying to complete one commission a day from now on however, especially on weekends as i will need this as an income again very soon, at least 200-300 a month from art which i feel is doable especially with badges n what not.
I will be opening NEXT MONTH!!Patreon and Funding Original Prints
Posted 8 years agoPatreon and funding Original Prints (please read all the way through!):
I have a question for you all! How would you feel about a Patreon to support me and supporting some original artwork ideas?
I have a FULL list of print ideas on my Trello currently that I have not been able to work out, and out of curiosity wanted to ask if anyone had any interest in actually funding these prints (or on Patreon)
Those who fund these prints will receive:
A high res file version
An original print of the high res file, printed off and shipped to you (essentially a poster for you to use!)
"Blank" Or uncolored copy for you to color/free to use (so long as credit is given!)
while the lower res file version of the print will be uploaded later on after those who supported the print receive their high res copies.
The more these prints are funded, the more I can offer them later on as small prints and posters for you to purchase (if you do not support the originals) If you are interested in funding any of these prints let me know!
Here is a full list of prints I would like to work on:
Miss Fortune - custom space pirate skin
Annie - custom lolita skin
Jinx - custom Mad Hatter skin
Resident Evil 1- Jill
Jill Valentine - most recent design
Alice Madness Returns - revamped samurai skin
Alice Madness Returns - revamped red queen skin

I'm trying to get them done as fast as I can and in batches, I'm about 20 pinups away from my goal to cover the last of the bills!!

Posted 8 years agoHey guys!
It has been a bit since my last journal, and I apologize for that!
The reason being was because my job FINALLY started up! You see, I work for a MLB Team, and as most baseball fans know, April means the start of the season! It has been EXHAUSTING to keep up with work and artwork, I've been getting home past midnight and just crashing the moment I get home from the long hours.
Due to this and wanting to just work as well as get art pumped out and focus on finances, I had dropped BOTH my classes this semester. It was a bit of a tough decision, but I was falling behind and to the point I was unable to catch up, and it became more of a situation of which is more important to work on, finances or school. I will be taking the ENTIRE year off from school just to work and get our finances in order so we no longer have any sort of emergencies. We've been trying so hard to start a rainy day fund, and each time we get one started things happen and it causes us to be negative all over again.
Hopefully with my new job I will be able to contribute much more than before, combined with artwork I should be able to jump start our finances and not worry anymore on how to pay groceries or rent. I'm tired of feeling like this, and I would like for my fiance to be able to take at least a small vacation off from work. He works so hard for the both of us, and probably gets only 4 hours of sleep a night due to how early he gets up for work and how late he comes home from school. I would really like to help out to the point that he would not have to worry about working at all, at least for the next year or so. Almost there! EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS STILL OPEN!
Posted 8 years agoHey guys! I am currently at $659/$1500!
I might possibly have to bring that goal up to $2000, I'm not too sure since I'm not sure how many hours my spouse has worked or what to expect his next paycheck.
If you would like to read up on what is going on, you can read the full story here
Thank you so so much for supporting me guys! I will be posting some MAJOR deals coming up this weekend as well so keep an eye out!EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS: Digital Full Body Flat Colors!
Posted 8 years agoHey guys! my fiance and I are in a bit of a pickle, our VA payment for rent was WAY less than it should have been, as well as he is off school till April 10th. No school means no BAH payment for us, which means we lose out on about $1500 which pays a majority of our bills.
This month is VERY VERY tight for us, and we are sort of scrambling trying to cover our bases so we can have all the bills paid as well as Aprils rent, March rent we are already behind. Without BAH, we cannot cover a large part of our bills.
BECAUSE OF THIS: I am open for full body flat colors! I have a goal to take on 45-55 flat color commissions for this month, my full body flat colors start at $30 and I'm finishing about 2 commissions a day while being able to start 3-4 the same day. I would like to get my speed up to complete 3-5 commissions a day as well.
THESE WILL NOT BE THE ONLY COMMISSIONS I OPEN FOR!!! If you would like something different either digital or traditional, please let me know and I'll work you into a slot!
If you cannot help out by getting a commission, it'd be awesome if you guys could boost this journal as well!!
my goal is to make up the $1500 that we would be losing, so hopefully I at least come close to it!
Goal : $659/$1,500UPDATED COMMISSION PRICE LISTS!
Posted 8 years agoFINALLY
I FINALLY UPDATED MY COMMISSION PRICE LIST SINCE 2015
there is also now 2 separate lists, one for digital and one for traditional! So that way no more confusion!
Please go check my prices out and let me know what yall think! So that way i know if im charging too much or too little!Watercolor Bookmarks For Sale!
Posted 9 years agoHey guys! I am currently selling 3 basic watercolor bookmarks I completed last night, each for $5! (prints only, not the originals)
They will be printed off on glossy photo paper and double laminated to ensure they're protected, shipping is included in the price as well!! I didn't want to open for more commissions, so I'm doing 15 prints of each bookmark!
I'm starting to work a lot with watercolor now as well, it'd be awesome to do some more prints! What would you guys like to see more of? I'm getting married!
Posted 9 years agoHey guys! I'm getting married this year! Because of this I will be open a LOT more frequently to cover fees and deposits for our wedding, cause woah lordy thats expensive as hell xD.
Our wedding will be in September, so for that month I will most likely not be on. HOWEVER! I will be open for a sort of "rent a day" type thing, where you can pay me for a full work day (8 hours) worth of work and that can be anywhere from traditional, watercolor, to even digital! It would be $80 per day and vary with the amount of work done, digital especially. With digital it would depend how far I get so it can be inks, flats, or a full color. Badges I will finish REGARDLESS if its past the time frame! If I only do inks or flats on a piece of artwork that you would like completed, there will be an extra fee yes, but it would vary between size (no more than $15 extra!).
I will be doing it once a week, most likely weekends or weekdays when I dont have school. If you are interested please let me know! It helps pay the bills and helps us pay for our wedding!. All commissions will be open as well!Updated Terms of Service
Posted 9 years agoHello all! I just wanted to post that I had updated my TOS, and you can find it in the tabs above my journals! Please give it a read if you have interest in commissioning me! Reseting goals/closing this month
Posted 9 years agoIm closing larger commissions for the month of November to work on Backlogged art and the last few commissions I have! I will still be open for smaller things like badges or flat colors but at random. I will most likely start doing daily adopts to keep up an income as well ^^. Since it is the first, I'm resetting my monthly income goal, a big thank you to all who helped me out and commissioned me last month!ONE NSFW SLOT OPEN!!!
Posted 9 years agoI would like to open for ONE NSFW slot this month! This will include: fully shaded, full background.
Such as this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21467395
the pricing will include everything and up to a complex background and different fetishes!
For solo character it is $45
2 characters it is $65
and for 3 or more characters the base price is $85
I'm still somewhat new to NSFW, so things I will NOT do are things like hyper/micro, scat, etc. If you have any questions please comment or note me! Good news!
Posted 9 years agoSo some good news! I was able to make up the cost of the electric bill and the gas bill as well as a little extra to cover some groceries! Less stress about if we would be able to pay bills on time, NOW I just need to cover renters insurance ($18.75) Internet ($70) and the phone bill ($95). Anything extra from there goes to gas in the trucks and groceries!
So far I've made up the cost of some other minor things, I'd like to cover the small stuff first since the little things can add up quick. Once I've reached the goal of $185 I'll be using anything after that to cover next month bills and gas ^^. At the moment I'll be starting from 0/$185, since the last of what is in my paypal is going to cover gas for next week for me.
I WILL ONLY BE DOING SMALLER DIGITAL COMMISSIONS AND TRADITIONAL COMMISSIONS! I would like to finish the larger digital ones first before I take anymore large ones (hence why it no longer says open on my profile) HOWEVER if you'd like to ask any questions about what exactly I am open for or if you would like to reserve a slot for next opening please comment or note me!EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS

The story:
Our rent payment bounced back, so now we have to pay 1,358 due to late fees being added. Not only that but we are already behind paying the electric, $146 and the gas bill, $43.
My mate also has a truck payment on the 15th of $422.80. The rent payment alone would make our account negative by about - $300.
Im trying to make funds as fast as possible to cover at least the gas bill, electric bill, and to cover gas for both of our trucks. Im a full time student (i do 15 credit hours) so im nut even sure if a seasonal job would take me. Im doing 5 slots for traditional and 5 slots for digital flat color commissions as well! Even sharing this journal and letting people know im open helps!!2nd NSFW AUCTION!
