I've reached another milestone in my experience as both an FA user and an artist, I've hit 30,000 views.

I'd like to thank my FA friends and family that have been by my side through thick and thin, and I will promise to bring more artwork to FA in the future. Meanwhile, I am striving with three jobs so I can afford to obtain newer hardware and software in the digital aspect. I'm also trying to drive away from the original pose method and see if I can accomplish what I want to do.

Hope to hear from most of you soon and I'm happy most of you stuck with me since 2007.

Hello my fellow FA friends, family, rival (hopefully not).

I just wanted to make an update on my job situation. I've been able to obtain three jobs, but all are in three categories: 1 Seasonal (Mowing), 1 Temporary (Bookstore), and 1 Regular (Chick-fil-A). The good part is, every last week of the current month, I'll be able to pay off the next one and keep whatever comes in for the following 3 weeks (the 4th being the expense week).

Also, this should help provide me with regular income in saving up for stuff I plan on doing, the first being able to obtain a new computer, then Adobe Cloud, and a new printer, since all of my current hardware/software is 5 years old. So basically, I'm working on storing away some income so I can afford to continue my career, though my main motivation on doing art is watching films over 2 hours long, which help compared to regular television.

So, in the meantime, I'm hoping to work on some of my hand-drawn pics with the right motivation, or film, because I won't be working on anything digital until I get the new hardware and software.

So, hope folks are doing well and hope to hear from you soon.

Hello.

I thought it would be about time to make another note, especially about my whereabouts.

First off, I am working three jobs to pay off my expenses, so I am working at Chick-fil-A now, which will help pay off my expenses first and keep what my other jobs pay me. The work is hard, but someone's got to do it to support themselves.

Second, I am also working to obtain a new iMac computer since my Macbook Pro is about half a decade old and running slower than it did. I also plan to revolutionize my workspace and see if I can add some digital software instead of depending on a disk accessory, such as the Apple Superdrive.

Thirdly, I know I am slow to work on some art, but I need to keep working in order to afford to obtain better tools, hardware, and software for the work I am planning to do. Please just bear with me until I am able to purchase them.

If there are any questions you need to ask, art-related, please let me know.

Hello.

I just wanted to let you all know that it is Autism Awareness Month.

Since I myself have Aspergers, a form of Autism, I decide that I should show appreciation to others as they would to me.

So please show your appreciation this month by showing someone with Autism that they matter, because it could really change their life :)

Anyways, goodnight.

Hello.

According to the administrator, Dragoneer, they will be creating a new application for FurAffinity.

This application will allow phones to submit photographs on FA and will be available sometime during May.

The release date has yet to be announced, but beta testing is going to be scheduled sometime this month.

If there are any questions, just let me know.

~KB

Yeah.

Me and Jazzanovawolf will both be celebrating (though not in the same area) tomorrow to celebrate our birthdays.

He'll be turning 27, while I'll be turning 23, so hopefully we'll both enjoy ourselves.

Anyways, I am tired, so goodnight.

~KB

Yeah, one more week until I turn a year older, in which case, I'll be 23 next Monday.

In the meantime, I'm working on a St. Patrick's Day prisma pic, which I started Thursday and need to finish it up by this evening.

Glad I am actually getting some use out of my Prisma colored pencils, so I can keep using them.

~KB

Yes, it is about that time again when I turn another year older.

Two weeks from today, I will be turning 23 years old. I just hope I can think of some good pics to make in the meantime. Would like to make some interaction pics, or just hilarious pics in general.

Just wanted to make a reminder since I've had a habit of not giving notice in advance.

Hello.

I'm not sure if I told anyone here on FA about my driving situation, but in the last week of January, my previous vehicle was hit by a truck and it damaged my windshield and driver's side mirror. As of a couple days ago, we picked out a car and are planning to put a down payment of $3K on it this evening and put it on a financial 60 month plan, since all that will be left to pay off is around $10K.

So it has left me with some business decisions, I may have to increase my field income since I am done adjusting for commission prices here on FA, unless otherwise noted. But as of now until I can afford new hardware and software, all pictures for the time being will be done in Prismacolor.

If anyone wants to check on my commission prices, they are listed at the top of my userpage.

Thank you, and good day.

Hello.

I am just making this since like everyone out there playing Pokemon X/Y titles, I would like to add some friends through the internet so that way, people can get more out of their Safari, Battling, and Trading.

Here is my friend code:

2578-3107-2194

The more friend codes you have, the more you can capture more Pokemon (make sure the Champion is beaten in your version to unlock the 3rd Pokemon for the Safari).

~KB

As of today, one of the Ghostbusters passed away at the age of 69.

He will be missed since now, they can no longer "cross the streams".

~KB

Hello.

I am just pointing this out, but it feels like everyday, people have been streaming to more and more services.

This a philosophy I prefer to spread, because it is also a good thing. I think subscribing and registering to a lot of other sites, though it is good to make yourself well known, but it can also make you vulnerable.

The reason is, I hate wasting time making a whole new subscription/registration, especially if I am only using it for one thing only. Also, what if something happens to the server, or multiple servers, and they end up being hacked? I would prefer to subscribe/register to a site I will keep using and I know is protected by newer firewall and security software to prevent hacking and viruses, which in turn can damage your hardware.

So, make sure when you register, don't get too crazy for sites and have to make whole new pages, especially for those you tend forget that will still be registered. It can be the difference between 10 sites and 100 sites.

Hello.

Just wanted people to know that my car got hit by a truck two days ago. Due to the weather, and thank goodness I was inside and it was parked outside, the driver of the opposing vehicle slid on some snow, which hit the side of my car, resulting in my hood being damaged and the driver's side mirror damaging my windshield.

There were some upsides, but here are the downsides: The driver did have insurance, but the mother of the driver had missed a payment the day after the collision. We have been trying to get a hold of our insurance in the process to help with the damages, so hopefully we'll hear a response. The person who hit me is still willing to pay for the damages, but if they equal to or are greater than the cost of the car, I may be receiving a check and may have to get another car, which I cannot afford to do right now. So, I may have to work some night shifts at Kroger soon and may have to hault on some of my art stuff so I can afford to apply and pay for a car loan.

Wish me luck, and please pray for me.

Hello.

I want to let my watchers know that I plan on making some changes to my artwork prices, primarily because I need to get motivated in getting some new hardware. The reasons are, my Macbook that I've been using for over 4 years, is starting to shut off unexpectedly at around 40% of battery life. Secondly, my Macbook can no longer accept newer software, which is only compatible on 10.6 iOS, and mine is 10.5 iOS.

So this week, I am planning on changing my pricing based on some of my real-world work, which is based on hours. And do not worry, they'll be steady and I'm only doing it primarily since I am on layoff again and I could use the monetary income.

As soon as I make enough, I should be able to work on newer hardware and software which should greatly improve the amount of work I need to do with the inclusion of newer tools.

Anyways, if there are any questions, please NOTE me.

~KB

Just something I wanted to say, and this could help with some past or present problems.

About blocking. It may feel like a good way to escape a problem, but in reality, it is like trying to build a wall around you and trying to escape it. Sometimes you can hide from the problem or you can face it head on and come to a conclusion. Hiding never solves anything, unless you are playing "Hide n' Seek". Try tearing down the wall and see if you can somehow reach a common ground with the person, but if they turn out to be "something else", it should be a matter for the administration to take care of. Being a member for almost 7 years now, I do feel blocking has its Pros and Cons, but I prefer to find a way to face a problem than hide from it.

Secondly, I'd like to talk about Drama. I can handle Drama, since I once spread it myself, but you have to manage the type of level it is at. Drama is a way some friendships can get ruined, especially if you act childish towards the person who hurt you. The good type of drama is small, like when you have trouble finding something or making a purchase that may drastically affect your budget. The bad kind of drama is like a obsession, sort of like stalking or gathering information about someone everywhere. It is unhealthy to do the bad kind, because it is a sort of vibe that can result in distrust, repelling, or even having someone fight for that person, usually a troll or bodyguard.

When it comes to character drama, you feel like you want to get close to the character, or even the artist, but even a process like that takes time. If you jump on it too quickly, you could be hurting the original artist's perspective of their character and even force it to do something it doesn't normally do. You never jump into a intimate situation too quickly, you have to start from the bottom and work up, like friendship to relationship and into intimacy (if allowed to do so). It should be a good idea to comment something ending with ",if allowed", because you don't want to force a decision on a pic of a character, especially if the creator is close to their creation.

If anyone has any questions about why I made this, it is because I have faced, or even caused, problems like these and are wishing to solve them. These could also help people like you out there to try and respect one another.

Anyways, I am going to bed because I am tired, so goodnight everybody.

~KB

This journal was basically my response when I found out just now I've had over 29,000 viewers.

Only a thousand more, and I'll finally be out of the 20 thousand zone.

This year, I am basically going to face any fear or obstacle and try to overcome it in order to know I can do it.

Also, I am currently working on some permanent resolutions in order to better myself and try getting some more physical activities so I won't deteriorate by sitting at home.

Lastly, I need to start working on some pics that aren't just about porn that strive to get views. I want to be known for the great work I can do instead of just being, "that guy draws porn and stuff".

So, I might be working on some motivational stuff in order to continue pursuing my career as an artist and a graphic designer.

And I am also working on going to bed earlier so I can feel refreshed in the morning, and also to go to the gym before work.

So...goodnight peoplez.

Hey.

Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday, since it is 12:15 here as I am typing this.

Hope all of you get what you wanted/needed for Christmas. I'm hoping to just get some clothes and money so I can at least pay for some commissions, more or less.

Also, I still have one stained glass pic to work on, so I might get around to it tomorrow evening since a lot of thought and work has to go into them.

Anyways, hope you all have a good night's rest and holiday.

~KB

Hello.

I am still working on the stainglass pictures (one of which is almost done, just need to color the character), I initially started making these because it was something I would enjoy drawing.

As such, all stained glass pics will currently be labled as "Requests". Also, if I am to include nude pictures, I am not going to include visual nipples or the vagina, considering I am making these appropriate since they're staying in my sketchbook.

Lastly, if anyone wants me to work on a stained glass picture, I might be able to put you on the list. But for now, it is a one-at-a-time based schedule. Just send me a picture reference, ask for frame type, background environment, and colors.

Hello my fellow artists.

This would be the 6th year I have enacted this.

The purpose of this day is to pray for any family member, friend, or pet that has passed away in your life, whether it was recently or in the past.

I will be sending prayer to those who I have known and grew close to and have passed on, especially my grandmother on my mother's side who passed away this past Tuesday evening from her battle against Leukemia.

I am sure your loved ones will appreciate you praying for them this day.

~KB

As of this evening, my grandmother passed away after being on Hospice for two weeks.

I am thankful for the prayers everyone has sent for her, but now she has gone to be with her holy father in heaven.

Please send prayers to my mother and her siblings in this hour.

Thank you and goodnight.

~KB

Hello,

I am making this journal because I got some information about my grandmother, who is on my mom's side.

She went into hospice this past week, so the doctors are giving her a couple weeks left to live.

If anybody can offer some prayers about her condition, I would be grateful.

Well, that's all I have to say, so goodnight.

~KB

Hello.

Been a while since I made my last journal, but needed to make a new one for gaming purposes.

Pokemon X and whY (as I refer it) released this past Saturday in the United States and World-wide. By far, it is unlike any other Pokemon version I have ever played. I especially like the customization of your character, but it is kinda disappointing when you cannot remove your hat or wear your glasses on your face.

As of now, I have earned my 48th Pokemon Badge today, which includes all the other Generation titles (not including remakes). Also caught Xerneas yesterday using only 3 ball throws (1 Poke Balls and 2 Ultra Balls) with no damage done, which is a rare case. I haven't used my Master Ball yet, since I am trying to save it for something hard.

Also, Zoroark can be found in the wild in Winding Woods next to the 8th Gym Town, so you'd better catch it quick when you encounter it.

Lastly, non-Pokemon related, Kingdom Hearts II.5 HD ReMix was announced today at NYCC, and is currently in development and scheduled for release in 2014, which will possibly release in the Fall season like its I.5 counterpart, so we'll have to wait and see.

Anyways, that's all the news I have to give right now, so see you later.

~KB

As of tonight, the Wii U has a new system software update that will help improve your console.

First off, you have the option to choose to use the GamePad as a screen when opening the Wii Menu from the Wii U's main screen. You should have the option, and requirement, to use the remote and nunchuk, which are needed to play the Wii titles. Will check further if VC games are playable on this mode.

Also, you have the right to turn off the LED light for the HOME button off, if you do not want to be constantly notified of every notification.

You can also plug in a USB Keyboard as a secondary option from the GamePad's keyboard.

Nintendo will also notify you of Demos available, but will only automatically install ones you are interested in.

The console will also update itself every hour or so, if any are available.

Lastly, Nintendo will be holding a Nintendo Direct tomorrow, so we should be getting some more information about the update then.

Good night.

As of today, a new Vita model was announced in Japan today.

At the unveiling, 6 colors were revealed. The internal memory will now be 1 GB and a new 64 GB memory card will be released at launch. The accessory slot has been removed from the top portion of the handheld, so now the PSVita card slot takes the top. As of now the handheld is slated for October 10th in Japan, but no announcements yet for release in other countries.

Secondly, PSVita TV was also unveiled to compete with Apple's TV console. It has the same internal hardware of the Vita and may come provided with a PlayStation Dualshock controller. The console will also be able to play Vita, PSone, PSP, and will provide cross-functionality with PS4 games. As of now, the console only costs $99 by itself and will release in Japan in NoVember. A $143 model will come provided with a Dualshock 3 controller and an 8 GB memory card.

One more information is obtained, I will spread the word.

Until then, happy playing.

Hey,

Been a while since I made a journal, but I needed to make one again.

As an alumni now, I should have more than enough free time to work on some artwork and save up to get the necessary supplies for my career.

First off, I am saving up to get Adobe Cloud and a new iMac computer, but I want to make sure I have some money left over when I do. So right now, I am managing my income until I can get a full-time job, since I am on layoff again.

In the journal's title, I am in need of some motivation. I think I keep losing it due to negative responses to either planned work or I want to make a new pic and the idea is shot down. So, I may need some sort of way to jump stat my motivation so I can move on with my career and see if I can support myself by doing so.

So, if anyone needs a pic done, just let me know because I could use the work right now, especially to improve and expand my knowledge.
