Funeral in D.C.
General | Posted 3 years agoHello FAers.
Just wanted to give you all a heads up that I'll be traveling to Washington D.C. the next three days.
The reason being is my grandfather, who passed away due to covid in September 2020, will be buried in Arlington Cemetery on April 4th. Afterwards, we'll be invited to visit with my grandfather's side of the family, some of whom I haven't seen since 2007.
I will be traveling back to my hometown on the 5th, so once I get back, I'll press on with my projects.

FA update: 03-29-91
General | Posted 3 years agoHello FAers.
My apologies on not posting as often as i should these last 5 or so years, so I thought I'd give you all an explanation.
These last few years have been hard on me financially, mentally and thanks wholly to Covid-19 for delaying my plans to travel. I had face multiple layoffs, unexpected debts, having to sell a lot of things from my childhood I wish I didn't sell, but had to, and I've lost friends due to abuse, rumors, or unexplained reasons and they took a toll on my productions as well as added to my depression.
Also, I've been working on a manga project for about 4 years now, the foundation being my views on religion as well as my personal life. The project will be co-written by my best friend, whom I'm planning to start a Twitch channel with within the next year (separate project).
But needless to say, I've stuck through thick and thin, but I'm still working through mental episodes so I can keep going. Hope you all understand and hipe to hear from you soon.

31st Birthday
General | Posted 3 years agoHello FAers.
Man, it's been a whole year since I posted my last journal here. Time does fly.
Yes indeed, I turn 31 today, and so far this decade, we've been surviving COVID-19 and since my last journal, I've been fully vaccinated and boosted.
Most of my work has been posted on Twitter since Nov. 2020, but rest assured I'm slowly working their way here as well.
Anyways, hope you all have a good rest if your day, and I'll try to make more posts that aren't a year+ apart.

I'm 30! 30 years old!
General | Posted 4 years agoHello my fellow FAers.
Hard to believe I'm turning 30 today. I still can't believe I've made it this far in my life, but after all the cool stuff I've seen and experienced in the 90s, 00s, and 10s, I'm willing to keep going to see what this new decade brings :3

Update: May 2019
General | Posted 6 years agoHello fellow FAers.
I just wanted to make an update on my whereabouts and progress, that way people dont think I'm dead or something.
First off, finally paid off my car 3 weeks ago on a 6 year plan a year early, so now I'm starting to make some extra income, which is good for a few reasons.
Second, I will be using my extra income to prepare to launch my Twitch channel with a cohost by the end of the year, so I'll be in the market for commissioning for our OCs.
Thirdly, I will also be attending conventions as a cosplayer. As of right now, I plan to attend Nekocon in November. Other cons throughout the year are TBD based on region and whom else is traveling with me.
Lastly, I have been keeping up with my artwork, but it would be nice to post straight from my phone instead of having to email them from it.

Update on my progress (May 13th, 2018)
General | Posted 7 years agoYellow my fellow FA friends, family and rivals.
I just wanted to post an update regarding my artwork and progress based on my delayed activity.
Since 2015, which was when I last posted any artwork, I had a financial delay in terms of living situation, insurance, and trying to sustain 3 jobs in order to make ends meet.
On a positive note, I have become a member of a new entertainment company known as Spectrum Entertainment, which started out in my hometown at a convention known as Star City Anime. I have sold prints and even dressed up for multiple conventions, in which I have cosplayed as Captain America and Genji and have received locally wide acclaim for my cosplays. I also plan to be at Nekocon this November to promote Spectrum, whether I'm in my usual cosplays or in a new cosplay. Hopefully my boss will be atending as well.
We're also collaborate with a couple local businesses (ice cream and Virtual Reality) , so we help promote them, or bring them along, so they get more business.
Lastly, I am planning to post parts of my portfolio soon, please be patient or you can check out my artwork on Facebook.

Happy birthday, I'm old...
General | Posted 7 years ago26th birthday.
General | Posted 8 years agoYeah, tonight at 12:28a in VA (9:28p in CA), I will officially be 26 years old.
For those of you who stuck around me this long, thank you for putting up with me all these years.
I'm preparing a portfolio in the meantime, so once it's ready, I'm going to showcase what I will be working on this year for commissions. Even us artists gotta eat and pay bills you know ;)
Anyways, hope you all have a good weekend and wish me luck this year.

March 2017-Progress
General | Posted 9 years agoHello.
I just wanted to let my followers/visitors that I'm still alive and well.
I've mainly been focusing on posting my work on Facebook, which is why I haven't shown much activity in about 2 years. Plus, I've been working to obtain two-four jobs, so it has deterred my art focus due to limited income.
Just to let you all know, I will be resuming artwork on my FA and DA account starting this month. If I'm in a slump or forget to create a submission, my apologies due to depression and my aspergers.
Starting next week, I should be posting some more artistic work than adult oriented pictures since I wish to make my main focus on my photography and Prismacolor artwork.

Turning 25 this Thursday.
General | Posted 9 years agoHello fellow FAers.
I've been working on getting some more artwork done, and though the progress is time-consuming when you live in an apartment now, it's still going along.
I will also be turning 25 this Thursday, though I won't be officially until the 25th due to the time zone.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to posting again. It's just been hard getting my motivation going.
Hope you guys have a good evening, and goodnight.

Update- 10/14/15
General | Posted 10 years agoHello fellow FAers.
My apologies for seldom posting any artwork as of late. I've been trying to deal with depression for a while now, so jump starting my artist motivation have been a task and a half. Temporarily, watching films has given me some pursuing capabilities, but I definitely need to find a kink to keep me going.
If there are any suggestions, I could probably use them right now.

I must be old because I just turned 24 years old on the 24th today.
Don't let a number defy abilities and appearance, it's just a number you change once every year.

Turning "24" on the "24th"
General | Posted 11 years agoHello fellow FAers.
Just wanted to get this journal out just in case. I will be turning 24 years old on the 24th of this month. To be honest, I just wanted to send this out as a notification, not as a mandatory exclamation. Would like some gift pics, but if commissions are an issue, than you don't have to stop just for one person.
Being Autistic and all, I'll understand due to a busy schedule.
Anyways, this will be my only journal notification for my birthday, so hope you all have a great month.

Family member passed away
General | Posted 11 years agoHello fellow FAers.
I'm going to be traveling tomorrow to eastern North Carolina with my Dad. My great uncle Marvin passed away, so I'm going to pay my respect and wishes to my second and third cousins.
I was hoping to get some Valentine stuff this week, but it is going to be put on hold for the time being.

Status update for 2015
General | Posted 11 years agoHello, this is KB.
I am planning to take some time to myself so I can focus on learning new software in order to push forward with my career, as well as study the field of animation professionally.
I will be learning Adobe Flash CC and After Effects CC so I can work projects in Flash and create special effects.
So in the meantime, please bear with me as I will focus on making new projects for this upcoming year, because I want to expand my spectrum in artwork.

Status update-Finally have everything
General | Posted 11 years agoHello.
Just wanted to make a final update on my status.
As of this evening, I have finally finished obtaining all that I will need for my career, but as with newer software, I must learn from the new tutorials on the website and see what I can unlock for future commissions or even new things entirely.
I will try to cram in as much as I can on Sunday, but for now, I must rest for tomorrow.

Status update-Got a new iMac
General | Posted 11 years agoHello.
Just wanted my watchers to know about my digital progress.
I was able to obtain a better model on sale, but now I may have to wait until October for the rest of the materials.
But the good news is progress is going faster than anticipated, so I should be up and running again within the next few weeks.

Status update-September 2014
General | Posted 11 years agoHello fellow FAers.
After being in work for the past couple months, with no absolute time to make art, I'm about ready to purchase the new hardware and software I'll need for what I'll be doing in the future.
First off, next weekend I'll be purchasing a new desktop iMac. Secondly, as long as my student email is still active, I can still purchase software through my bookstore at student price. Thirdly, I'm also keeping an eye out for coupons for places like A C Moore and Michaels, because getting something expensive at half price can save you a TON of money.
This weekend, I'm down at my grandparents, though for the last 15 hours, I've been in bed with a headache and a scratchy cough. Kinda sucks when you ask for time off in advance, and it is the only weekend you get sick.
So, hope all of you are doing well this month. I just hope I'll be the same after this sick duration passes.

getting close to my goal
General | Posted 11 years agoHello.
I just wanted to make another journal, since I've been on hiatus and working for 56 hours weekly since July.
I am about close to buying a new iMac desktop, though due to my trip next weekend, I'm going to wait until I return to purchase the hardware.
Software-wise, I can purchase them through my college bookstore, since my old student email will automatically validate me for Adobe CC.
The last step will be to get a new printer, one that will hopefully double-side print. I just need to keep checking on prices and sales.
Anyways, sorry if I've been kinda lagging in my work. I've been trying to find my muse as well as my motivation, but as with all good artwork, everything is a work-in-progress.
Anyways, I'm beat tired, so goodnight.

I am back, but with some discovery
General | Posted 11 years agoHello fellow FAers.
In my recently week departure from FA, I wanted to leave to figure out how to find my artistic motivation, and I finally found out what it is: LOVE.
When something or someone in my life influences me, I get down and work with my hands to see how much I can accomplish. I feel good doing what I create because it is essentially me putting a piece of my heart on paper so people can see what I imagine.
But in recent weeks, somehow I lost that motivation and needed to find out what made my art tick. It is made through positive emotion and reactions, but without positive emissions, especially with Autism, it makes it hard for me to concentrate on what I need to accomplish.
So now my main goal is to find a way to improve my lifestyle by doing what I love, but my main task is to find out how to create positive influences so I can get back on track.
Anyways, goodnight and wish me luck.

Just sending a notification
General | Posted 11 years agoHello.
I'm only going to be coming back next week or so just to pay for a commission, but I will not come back until I can get some artwork done and make sure my Prisma inventory is in check.
Also, if you want to notify me, I'll only be able to communicate through Skype, so if you want to chat, just NOTE me with a message attached so I'll know who you are.
Hope you all have a good evening/day.

Taking a temporary leave of absence until further notice.
General | Posted 11 years agoHello my fellow FAers.
I'd just like to make this announcement since I am having some trouble with my artistic motivation that I will be going on a temporary leave of absence until I find it.
Also, I am going to be busy with two jobs, so I doubt I will have enough time to do some artwork until later on this fall, so hopefully I'll have it by then.
Lastly, any existing commission slots that were made available to me will be paid on July 20th. After that, I'm going to be focused on saving up for the holiday season, and hopefully, an apartment.
Wish me luck, and I hope I'll see all of you later on.

Hope everyone had a good 4th
General | Posted 11 years agoHello folks.
MY apologies for not being festive for the 4th, but my source of inspiration is lacking as of late, which responds to lack of motivation and lack of productivity.
I am experimenting with some new effects, but am having trouble experimenting with posework and background environment. I'm trying to do more than just the original "stand-up" poses and focus on something more "flexible", "fun", and "sexy"(for women poses).
I've yet to make a single idea since my last pic, but it takes time to come up with a brilliant idea instead of just doing the "usual", which gets boring after a while.
Hopefully I'll get some inspiration soon, because I can't think of anything without it.
Anyways, hope you all have a good evening and goodnight.

I am thinking of making a FurAffinity Family
General | Posted 11 years agoHello.
I have been thinking about this for a while, and I've seen various users create online families, and have been debating about making an online one myself.
But it is complicated trying to come up with a good family, considering if other members are already a part of other FA families.
I just need to make a family not because people have them, but because you want to be part of something that is much bigger than the original picture, which means to assist your family if in need of some support, whether it is online or outside FA (only if they live in your general area).
But yeah, if anyone wants to take part, just ask.
