Ok so heres the thing, like all artists out there im always in need of money and for some reason im always short for one thing or another. What I really need help from you guys with is commisions. I have little experiance in the matter and need someone to PLEASE help me learn the ins and outs of things like PayPal, FurBid, FurBuy and such. I also need to know what you guys think i should set my prices at. Ive never really judged the value of my artwork, and i feel a bit conceited if i feel im asking too much for a piece. For thos of you who do help me out I will be more then happy to do a FREE art requet from you (we can get into details once it comes to that point). Im in between a rock and a hard place guys, I know ive only just begun to start posting work again, but I need youre help so that i dont have to worry as much about my financial oblgations, Even just one or two commisions every now and then would be greatly appreciated.

<3 to all you guys out there, I hope to get some comments and feedback from you very soon! ^_^

~ciao

As some of you might have noticed I have been rather productive lately! I dont know what it is but maybe getting my scanner finally kicked me back into art mode! I have quite a few sketches im working on now, and i have ideas for more still. I dont want this to come to a screeching halt though like it did last August for me. I need you guy's help with suggestions of what i should draw. Though i will obviously have ideas of my own I would like a little trove of ideas for me to work from if i lapse into a slow period again. What would be even better is if someonecommisions me for a piece. That would definitely get me motivated to draw LOL but i need someone to teach me the ins and outs of PayPal and shipping art,etc, etc. ^_^; (yeah im lame lik that :P) Other then that, Im just slavign away at my job, playing WoW *Level 29 Tauren biatch's!*, and TRYING to have something of a social life. If only i could meet some local furries here in Las Vegas :/.
On a side note im thinking about attending CaliFur this year. Its close to me and i could go with my friends if hey wanted to tag along. I wanted to go last year but things were pretty hellish for me this tim last year >_<. So anyone thinking about going? As said before i woulf love to get to know more furs in RL :)

<3 to you all time for this wolf to curl into a ball and go to sleep *yawn*~

ok ok so heres the thing, ive been drawing again (FINALLY) and i got stuff to post again (FINALLY) but I need a scanner first >_< But that should be resolved soon so its alls good. Sorry to all you ppl for being such a dick *the bad kind* and practically being dead on here. I love this site and I will want to be gettin back up to speed very soon :) until then, love peace and chicken grease!!! ^_^

Hey everyone. Been really a hell uva time since ive updated or done...anything on here. Just updating you guys on the situation. Been swamped with work and other crap. I have gotten a job as a tutor for the school district here in Las Vegas. Things have just been so crazy since i got back from Sweden. I didnt go to CSULA, Ive been dealing with money problems, and I have pretty much lost all contact with my friends. Least i can say is ive been down in the dumps lately, and im really sorry for not posting/commenting/ or doing anything.

I have however started to draw a bit again, just a few sketches here and there. I am lacking a scanner so that is definitely one of my first priorities once my life has gotten a little less hectic and insane. So to everyone still watching me thanks, ihope ill have more time to be active on here in the very near future, but until then ill be commenting and faving as usual :)

oh and on a side note...anyone living in the vegas area? Like i said I have lost almost all contact with my friends and i seriously would love some social interaction with ppl. Plus ive never hung around with any other furries before. If ur interested plz note me :)

L8rs~
Colfax

sry for not being on at all, ive been busy with shcool and work and getting my other job too. Plus ive been consumed by the almighty power of the soul eating machine that is WoW. anyone play? itd be fun to play with ppl from FA on there. I have been drawing (minimally) and i still owe  xids his trade. im rly sry for taking such a long time, itll be done, eventuall *weak laugh* Once im more adjusted to life with my family again and have a scanner ill be back on and uploading teh artz, but until then ill be eein ya :3

sorry for not loading anyhting or doin much this past week or so. Im trying to get everything settled with me over here in Vegas. It turns out i wont be going to CSULA this year, Im taking a year off to help out my family and just wait until things are secure. Ive started my job at borders again! I work all the way at the other end of the valley in Summerlin on West Charelston Blvd. so yay for commuting! If anyone lives in Vegas feel free to drop by at the cafe! Im also going to be applying for a job with the school district which pays great and the works pretty simple so i get to have more money now lol. What with all these things going on i havent been able to work much on art, but i intend to keep trying. I will finish Xids trade first of all, then im gonna continue on my Knotty Dogz series. So wish me luck I will hopefully be back to "normal" soon enough ^_^

Love, Peae, and Chicken Grease~

Well im back home safe and sound in Las Vegas. The plane ride wasnt that bad, but im definitely missing Sweden already. I now have no scaner so i dont know when ill be able to post anything again. I do intend on finishing  xids trade as well as my own personal WIP that you can view in scraps. Fuking airlines lost my luggage so i get to go to the airport and get it back from baggage claim >< for all those who read this DONT FLU USAIR they suck balls (not the good way) definitely go through another airline whenever you travel, its a much better choice! other than that im good ^_^

Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease ppl!

I know ive only just started to draw alot more again, but i think it would be fun to do an art trade with perhaps one or two ppl. If you are interested id love to do one with someone!

On another note with my art, I am considering opening up commissions again, i have the prices listed on this site already so just check it out for yerself. If this art roll keeps rolling i will most definitely want to do more art commissions!

Heres a list of current works:

1) Knotty Dogz: Husky 50%
2) Watching you Watching me (need to fix the leg and will color when im home) 25%

I do have a couple of sketches done and i do want to draw alot more but im just so pre occupied with school and everything at the moment i dont know when ill have the time to get crakcing on the art I wanna do >_<.

Im going to try and draw one image for each of these words, well see how it goes :P

Howdy-Doody everyone. Been gone the past week due to lackage of a computer and not being in school :P. I did nothing asd usual, just worked, worked, worked >.< but whatever im back so nyah! I have been working on my new art projects for this graphic design company, and think its gonna go really well so i am happy *money ALWAYS makes me happy*. other then that im just blah, house is still trying to be sold, my family nedds money...bad, and well yeah it just sucks right now. I do have some things im working on and hopefully ill get something up sooner or later :/

Ok so get this, Im working at the registers the other day and this guy comes in to return a book on figure drawing. I ask him why he wants to return it and tells me he tried to learn to draw but its too hard, and that he runs a graphic design business. So i tell him that im an artist and he gives me a business card and says he could pay me 13-14 $ an hour! So i set up an "interview" with him yesterday to show examples of my work, and he liked it! he says he wants to hire me to do work for his business! *_* this is so cool you guys you have no idea! XD So i guess this means im on my way to being *coughproffesionalcough* ^_^~ huzzah for me X3

well it seems I am just shy of having absolutely no life!!!

Stole this from my friends Linneas page~ *<3 to you linnea!*

Your Name:
Greg

Your Character/Fursona's Name:
Colfax *I learned a little while ago that "colfax" is the street associaed with hookers and prostitutes in Colorado a.k.a. The Red Light District* ~lol colfax be a pimpin' wolf!

Where did you come up with this name/who gave you that name?
I beleive I read the name in a book or saw it in a movie soemwhere and really liked it.

Species (and colors/markings)?
Canis Lupus/ Canis lupus baileyi mix (grey/mexican wolf mix) I enjoy drawing him in different styles and ill eventually get down his true color scheme once im confident in my art skils again. He has a blue claw tattoo on his left shoulder though and hes had that his entire life

Why are you those specific colors/what made you choose them?
grey wolves are my favorite breed so it was only natural colfax would be one, plus my good friend Linnea was the one who origianlly designed him for me so ask her why she chose those colors! XD

Where did the idea for your species come from/what aspects caused you to be ___ species?
I consider myself at least a partial therianthrope. I do beleive in spirits and the supernatural. I have not figured out if i am or am not part wolf, but i do have a strong bond and spiritual connection with the dogs/ wolves. so its only natural that my fursona be something like them:P

What year did the "finalization" of your character come about, or the least amount of major changes occur?
please chack back in 3 years XD

At what age did you first find yourself creating "characters"?
I remember a little story of three bears that I wrote when I was 8...so i guess 8 :/

What attributes of your character are similar to you/what are different? Why?
both very outgoing and extroverted. though he can be alot more open about his emotions then me, we are basically one in the same

How closely does your character resemble you in physical build and appearance (clothes, hair, etc)?
we both have tails?....oh and were both "heavy-set" lol

Is your character mainly used for roleplay or forum avatar, a "mascot" for your website/online activities, fursuit, or other? (spiritual, alter-ego, public representation...)
he is my spiritual alter-ego. Id love to incorporate eithe rhis personality/ design for my stroies.

If you were in a public location and a stranger confronted you about your character ('hey, is that supposed to be you? *point to badge, art, whatever*;) ' would you deny it or explain it to them?
"yep thats me!" *big toothy grin*

Do you consider yourself a furry, therian/were, anthro, or other?
partial therian...i guess a furry since i <3 the art. but i dont think im a true fur. Wouldnt mind fursuiting and going to a con someday though, and selling my art *once its good enough* in artists alley X3

ahhhh u guys gotta help me on this! Im in the makret now to buy a laptop fpor myself and i cant decide wether to get a Mac, Dell, or Alienware. Im looking for somehithing that will run Photoshop well *mac* but at the same time operate my 3D softare and video games *PC's* anyone have any suggestions or computer know how to help me? I just want somehting that will run smooth, work with me through college, and function well for at least 5 years or so~ anyonw who helps me out, I <3 you forever!!!

well i knew it was inevitable....I started to go on DA again >< anyway Ive already uploaded some art....anyone whos on there feel free to add me k? ^_^
