don't worry, we're still safe, although it turns out we might actually BE in the path of irma (the shrimpy tropical storm version at least??)

https://goo.gl/forms/adMLAGzmE8dB2eG62 - i just wanted to manually remind ya'll to fill this out because apparently twitter is muting it for some reason??

idk why. maybe they hate google forms

validate meeeeeee

i'm not going to be steamrolled by it, but it is coming nearby, so i can't actually predict what's gonna happen this upcoming week

best case scenario: heavy rain, creeks flood a little, power blips, life goes on as normal

worst case: heavy rain, creeks flood a lot, power goes off, the house gets bitchslapped by tropical storm force winds, trees fall, chickens are thrown into the stratosphere, we lose track of all the animals for 3 days

the school is closing for monday and possibly also tuesday so i got some free time to catch up on zircon/commissions as long as we have power

anyone who's DIRECTLY in the path of the storm (or the other two coming after it, idk where they're going yet), please stay safe!

because the FA commission system only allows 15 and i'm too stubborn to remove one. this is mostly so i can link back to this journal, not necessarily open right now as of posting.

WISHLIST COMMISSIONS:

you buy me a thing from one of these lists:
http://a.co/gW9lhEV - general wishlist, has weird shit and goth clothing
http://a.co/jks9CcD - art reference, mostly cool books
http://a.co/dCxi4YV - misc entertainment

and send an email at cyanidexinsomnia[at]gmail.com with proof of purchase to redeem art of a similar level. minimum $20 to qualify, you can get more than one comm for big items. ....... you should probably send the email BEFORE you buy, in case amazon doesn't give you my shipping address.

COMMISSIONS FOR CORPSES:

the same thing as wishlist commissions except for dead things - skulls, bones, pelts, wet preserved, dead bugs, etc. due to the climate and a lack of proper storage areas, i don't feel comfortable accepting legit taxidermy animals yet. i will also accept whole frozen roadkill/hunted animals if they are properly packaged and legal to own in GA/the USA.

MAKE SURE ANY DEAD THING IS LEGAL FOR BOTH OF US TO PURCHASE OR HAVE. this means no migratory birds, endangered animals, or sea mammals.

good places to find dead things are ebay (skulls + bones, some pelts), hideandfur (pelts and skulls), glacierwear (wolf pelts), taxidermy.net (SUPPOSEDLY this is good) or etsy/storenvy (wet preserved, animal jewelry, small bones). you can also buy me replicas, but only if they look good enough to be real. no mustard yellow shiny plastic skulls. pelts with feet vastly preferred over feetless.

IF you ARE a taxidermist/hunter/fellow vulture, hmu about corpse trades as well as art.

NEW STUFF:

vore pins have been purchased and artwork has been sent to the company, waiting on a digital proof

at the end of the month (sept 24th - 30th) i'm going to open for GORETOBER/kinktober signups, to be completed throughout october. goretober will be done in ink ala inktober, kinktober will be regular digital. i'm gonna be hella sad if no one buys any of these, okay, i've been chomping at the bit to do it since june

ALSO at the end of the month: TFCON 2017! idk how many of you are robot enthusiasts but if you are, you might get to catch a rare glimpse of the monster outside of dealer mode

ALSO ALSO zircon's friday update might be delayed because of reasons, mostly sculpture reasons, will attempt to play catchup this weekend but i might also be going up to atlanta this weekend bc i have monday off from school so idk

ALSO ALSO ALSO: what would you like to see as the next YCH idea?

you know what screw the teacher's schedule, i'm painting the bitch tuesday

mostly because i never actually made it to the studio again to grind

invoices for VORE PINS have been sent out, invoices for vore comms soon, GROUP YCH IS PAID UP so i can finish both of those

gonna start restocking merch as soon as owed art is done, sO MANY STICKERS

Defiance ketu nicky_the_baileys_fox draccy michaelgrey anoymouscaptain

i guess it's probably a good thing i only got two vore comms because they're gonna be delayed, as well as my YCHs (the group still isn't paid off and like hell am i trying to paint with less than zero energy)

i have to build an 8x8x8" steel cube and get it ready to paint by monday, and currently it is still a bunch of squares and no welding practice so i'm going to be busting my ass in the studio over the weekend, or at least thurs/fri and sleeping sat/sun. crit is wednesday, so presumably i will have time to work on owed art next weekend. i also planned to stream but we'll see if i still feel up to it by next thurs

invoices for vore comms will be sent when i have the mental energy to remember i have them

EDIT: BEHOLD

YES HELLO i meant to just open this on the weekend but then.. slept through the rest of the weekend. THIS IS THE OFFICIAL THINGY AND WILL PROBABLY BE OPEN FOR THE WEEK to make up for all the sleeping. I may just open for mawshots this weekend tbh, need me some maws.

60 for MAWS + satisfied preds, 80 for 2 person vore. 10 dollars off if you use my OCs (Jaxol, Cyanide, Ateros are the only ones cleared for vore, only as preds).

ORDER FORM: https://goo.gl/forms/JkK73J9EBpxdRd082

RULES:
-NO FANART OF ANY ESTABLISHED FRANCHISES, especially the ones I like (transformers, overwatch, invader zim). I feel like this is probably the sticking point on vore for me in the past. One exception: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23545748/ the big dumb lizard pictured here eating a better looking lizard with wings, because he was made specifically for vore.
-payment through paypal invoice only. you must pay before work can begin.
-LIMITED AVAILABILITY. I planned for 3 slots this weekend, but may go up to 5 if there's interest.
-i don't need a novel-length description of the scenario. trust me, "x eating y" works well enough.

SLOTS:
1.  michaelgrey - 2+ person vore w/ Jax
2.  anoymouscaptain - post-vore Jax
3.
4.
5.

if you don't mind being a torso with a dick, blue's still available! if no one nabs it, i'll pick one of my OCs to fill in the gap. probably ateros considering it's like 75% dragons up in here

ALSO: LIMITED SLOTS FOR VORE COMMISSIONS! (i'll make a proper advert in a bit)
ORDER HERE: https://goo.gl/forms/TslvlgJ4MJ5TnbN23

taking 3, if no one touches them this weekend i'll reopen em next weekend. 80 for two characters ($10 off for the first signup, also if you pick one of my OCs to do the munching), 60 for single character mawshots and satisfied predators.

REMEMBER: oral vore only, no fanart of any established franchises, especially the ones i like

come get in on this action!

ends aug 19 but sooner is probably better (because i am impatient and full of Ambition)

i MIGHT open more commissions this weekend?

but it might be moved til next weekend or later depending on the workload

probably a themed thing considering my regular ones aren't doing so great

or i could just make a blanket all categories open post

idk if i should close my storenvy like originally planned or leave it open during the semester

1) auction is closed, last auction for a while

2) i'm hanging out w/ a friend today/tomorrow + have jury duty monday so idk if there'll be weekend art..... i should probably just be focusing on zircon ch2 though, i have what-- 4 updates left for ch1?

3) i have a few more flatsale YCHs in the works but i may hold onto them until further into august bc i'm not sure how many more cons there are

4) my macerating bones are somewhere between 'one more wash' and 'bring us out pls' and that 'one more wash' keeps happening without much change :'D

sale ended w/o a single bite......

shout out to those of you who RT'd the twitter post and shared though! thank you so much for helping me anyway!

reminder that this is still open for bidding: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/24299312/

YCH's are surprisingly addictive, even with the slow goings for responses

anyway vote here or comment below: would you be interested in a furry group YCH (50 per slot probably, 25 for the BJs and hand) based on this image, with or without the halloween theme? http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2974063/

warning it's from 2009, don't look at the artist comments

apparently my new hobby is to add things as stickers + enamel pins to storenvy

speaking of pins, this one still has 10 orders to go before i can pay it off w/ preorders alone; i may end up invoicing the half and fronting the other half myself at this point

edit: FRICK I FORGOT - i uploaded the 3 vore designs and my propaganda to teepublic, apparently shirts are $14 rn

NONSALES SHIT: shark week is this week! what kind of sharks should i draw? (i've already had goblin and hammerhead suggested)

idk how many of you are keeping up w/ Zircon's comic, but i've decided to host a question day on the blog! answers will probably receive art! come harass my kids!

https://zirconcomic.tumblr.com/post.....4/ask-an-alien

(you can also just submit a Q here and i'll screencap it/submit it to myself on anon)

1.5" soft enamel (so u can feel all the teeth and drool bits) pin on metal butterfly clutch backing! min 20 orders required for production costs, may be limited to 50 before FWA if there's not enough interest

if there's A LOT of interest, well, YOU GET MORE! if there's a TON of interest, you might get SPECIAL SHIT like GLITTER OR GLOW IN THE DARK!!

ORDER NOW: https://t.co/1TflY9Yfgw

vore has been removed as an option because i'm not feeling it right now, added actual options for colored/painted instead of just "sketch"

there's a downside to making a mass form in advance, rip

updated form here: https://goo.gl/forms/bbiHkDJgo4LvIvFc2

SO I WAS GOING TO DO IT ON WED BUT A THING HAPPENED 2 ONE OF MY CATS

he's probably going to have to lose his foot, which is going to be Expensive ™

edit: the cat died of a blood infection before they could amputate, so this is mostly... regular non-emergency comms i guess??

-badges/sketches
-overwatch and other themed commissions
-ENAMEL PIN

-ref sheets for personal characters + maybe open for like 1-2 when i finally like them??
-finish zircon ch2 vol1 by the end of the year + start work on other comics for FA

I apologize to the 10 people who started watching me early, your feed is gonna blow up in a second as I move what I want from my original account + a 52 page comic + pictures of dead stuff.

Feel free to nuke all of it if you have to, it's okay.
