Help me save up for top surgery!
Posted 10 years agoHey guys,
As you may or may not know, I'm a transgender guy, and I am seriously in need of chest surgery. My insurance company is so convoluted and vague that they are guaranteed to deny the request, but even if they covered something, they won't cover all of it. I will be left with, at the very least, $1,500 (but probably close to $8,000), and probably much more than that, not even counting travel or hotel expenses. My commissions are open right now, and all of that money is going straight for my top surgery fund. It would really mean the world to me if you guys would help me out.
Icons (headshot square drawing or 100x100 pixel fullbody) are $10
Phone Backgrounds and Flat Color Images are $10-20 based on complexity in characters.
Shaded Images start at $20 and go up based on character complexity and background complexity.
Digital Badges start at $15 and go up based on complexity. Right now I only feel comfortable doing waist up, bust, or headshots. (Digital badges unfortunately cannot be printed and mailed to you at this time.)
Traditional Badges start at $25 and go up based on complexity and if I already have all of the colors I need. Again, I am only comfortable with waist up, bust, or headshots for badges. These WILL be laminated and mailed to you with a badge clip. If I do not have a color for your character, we can work together to compromise or I will add an extra $1 for each color I can't make work with my current supplies.
Slots are Unlimited
Thank you

Moving to this site more permanently
Posted 10 years agoI am fed up with deviantart's handling of art theft, and while I was personally never a victim, I no longer wish to post my artwork there. As a result I should be much more active posting here and things should be posted in a more timely manner.
Character Cosplay Commissions!
Posted 10 years agoI'm open for a few character cosplay commissions- aka one of your characters cosplaying as another character!
I have an example here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16813634/
They'd be roughly $15-20 depending on the complexity of the character, and I can add a simple background location for $5. I can't do anything too complex for the background however.
If you're interested, feel free to comment below or send me a note with the details. (I greatly prefer note, however, if you do not like notes, I will gladly give you my email address).

Summer Break! And cons
Posted 10 years agoLife Update:
Sorry I kind of vanished, school attacked me pretty hard. Well and some other stress, but school was the biggest culprit of my lack of time. I hardly ever got a chance to come here, dA, etc so. But now I'm back with plenty of time.
My summer begins today! I have a summer job but I think I'll only be working 30 hours a week, so I will not be super duper busy. I'm definitely going to be making more art and working on some cosplays, maybe even fix up my Sam suit! Expect to see more from me in the near future, I have some cool concept art to post as well if I get my group's permission.
I will be on a trip from tomorrow morning until like Monday or Tuesday, I'm not really sure when I come back to be honest, and I will have limited internet. I will try to do a lot of drawing though.
Con News:
I have a badge paid for and a room set up now for Anime Weekend Atlanta, I'm for sure going to that in September. My friends and I will be cosplaying young Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, we're making our costumes this summer :D I'm gonna be Kakashi, I'm so excited. I am also trying to finalize plans for Ichibancon, but I'm pretty sure I'm going, and for FWA, which more depends on my workload Spring quarter. I am also definitely going to be going to SwarmCon 2016, and it looks like I'll be trying to work out an Itachi cosplay, but again, depends on workload.

What would you like to see commissions for?
Posted 10 years agoWhat types of commissions would you like to see available from me? Digital, Traditional, Both? NSFW? Fetishes? Ponies? Other ideas?
(I am certainly not unwilling to do NSFW pieces if people want them in my style. Simply don't have experience with pieces like that beyond the one.)

send me human characters!
Posted 11 years agoI want to practice drawing humans, send me your OCs! They may or may not get drawn, I'll try to keep them in character if you have a personality description. If you don't who knows if they will be. Send away!
about commissioning people...
Posted 11 years agoSo paypal takes that service charge if you're paying someone for a good or service, so I was wondering, do most artists expect to receive the commission price MINUS the charge, or do they tend to expect the buyer to cover the charge?
I personally expect to see the price of the commission minus the service charge, but I don't know if other artists are different.

PLEASE help me find these sunglasses!
Posted 11 years agoI lost my sunglasses in the ocean, I loved them, they were the only pair that have ever fit me, I was being dumb, honestly I thought I could replace them. I grabbed them and kept hold of them in the ocean, but a strong wave knocked them out of my grip. My eyesight is so sensitive that yes, I really did need to be wearing them while I was on the beach. I really did think they wouldn't be too hard to replace.
Instead I have found nothing online. Nothing. Nada. Not even a picture. I literally cannot find anything.
They're folding wayfarers, got them at a disney park less than a year ago (in October I believe), perry the platypus, they're green and gray/black, not white and gray/black.
for-sale.yowcow.com/listing/69… is what they look like, but this pair is white and black, not green and black.
Please. Seriously help me find a pair. Please. If you can find these for sale somewhere or can get some, I'll give you like $30 or $40 worth of art. This is super important to me because 1 this was a souvenir from my last trip to Disney for probably a VERY VERY long time and 2 I have literally never ever had a pair that fit so well. Seriously guys I can't even express how much it would mean to me if you could find these.

Iceberg Fursuit will have to wait
Posted 11 years agoLooks like I won't be getting Iceberg made this time around... Maybe one day though.
Need a laminator for badges?
Posted 11 years agoI tried self-lamination sheets and honestly they sucked butt. The lanyard clips tore through two badges of lamination within the first half-hour of my meet. It was not an option I would feel happy giving to customers. I did not yank on them or anything, they just got jostled the wrong way and tore. It'd work for something like a full-sized piece of paper, but not for badges.
So, I need to invest in an actual laminator. Any suggestions of which type to get? I don't even know where to start.

Looking for a sporty anthro!

Minecraft
Posted 11 years agoI just bought Minecraft totally on impulse
No regrets
I'm a total noob so if you guys have advice, I'd appreciate it
Also I don't know if this is the best or worst spawn point ever. My house is really really close to the spawn point, and it's right on top of and surrounded by caves. I found this out by accident. Dug down from my house (not straight down I know that rule at least) and found a creeper in a cave but luckily it didn't spot me. Also found a crap ton of iron but then died >.<

Cons in the Southeast
Posted 11 years agoHey, what cons are in the southeast? Since I'll be going to school in Savannah, GA, I'll be closer to some and farther from others. I know I'll go to FWA and maybe Megaplex, what else is there?
*I calculated all these times via google maps, and from my college, but I'm actually a lot closer or farther away from some depending on whether I'm at school or at home
FWA- 3-4 hours away depending on the way you go
Megaplex- 4-6 hours away depending on the way you go
Rocket City Fur Meet- about 7 hours away (and keeps getting cancelled or something?)
Mephit Fur Meet- about 9 hours away
Fur the 'More- about 9 hours away
Anthrocon- 10-11 hours away (I'm sad bc I really wanna go to this one)
MidWest Furfest- 14-15 hrs away
Furry Fiesta- Way too far away, like 15-16 hours.

I've had a bad day
Posted 11 years agoI know it's not as bad as some people's days but I really need to complain
Woke up late, was almost late to a stupid thing my school required me to go to
school also scheduled a luncheon
the first thing ran late and I was almost late to the luncheon
at the luncheon it started pouring rain
after the luncheon the heavens unleashed or something, the roads were flooded in places
I got very bad anxiety because my car is so hard to control in puddles let alone flooded roads
my sister made me drive her to the art store for a project she didn't start early enough
rush hour traffic + rain = unhappy me
the heavens unleashed again when we were driving home
and I get home to find out that we had to put down our oldest dog today. He wasn't eating and we brought him to the vet. We thought it was minor. No. It was internal bleeding. And they couldn't operate. He just fucking made it through a basketball sized tumor and healed from that despite being 12 years old, but then he gets hit with this. After he survived that, I felt so sure that we'd have him at least until I went to college... We were so worried last time but not this time...
I just wish something nice would happen. I can't even get commissions... The way things are going I bet Phoenix won't chose my fursuit head when she opens for quotes either. Nothing is going right so why should the things I really want work out
