Sorry for the silence of the journal, lets get updated!

Zorra: She's fine now, the surgery wasn't really required after all, if anything it mostly would be to make sure her foot set in the proper direction. It's offset a little bit, but she's back to being a normal kitty. Casts and splints did the job, we just couldn't change it as often as we should since money has been really hard these last few months.

Bad news: Out of internet, we're getting access when I take the time to lug my whole setup over here at least once a week now. No idea when we will get it back, barely keeping power and rent as it is. If it wasn't for food stamps we'd starve too... Cars still crashed and just can't get what we need to fix it. Been borrowing the 2nd vehicle as beat up as it is from the kids parents that I babysit. A 'temp' job I have done for a year as of last month.

A friend will be moving in shortly from a divorce so she can get her feet on the ground, bringing one of her two kids. They'll be living in our living room, while my sister and her room mate may ALSO have to move in if they can't make their bills meet. They're suffering as badly as we are right now, so no one can help anyone. As much as my mom is trying for our continued being stuck in a hole for it.

Good news: I have a job! This Monday I have McDonald's orientation! After a year they once again called me back in, constantly been applying since the mind blowing group interview that I performed so well last time. Just didn't make top three. This time I had to wait a week for a promised third interview, instead as I'm about to give up hope and borrow my sisters net to get more job apps out. (Already had a few out already, not doing one job at a time anymore.) They call the day after I send out the truck load asking me to bring my stuff this monday and my shirt size! So excited! First job that I got on my own, doing so well with my interview skills and resume I've had a year to grow. First time I won't be an independant contractor payed for cents per items. I finally have a chance to make some money, even if I am starting part time. This experience will get me the foothold I need to get the job at a restaurant as I've been wanting. Everywhere I've gone, I may get as far as a 2nd and 3rd interview, but later get informed. Not enough register experience, not enough customer service experience. This will get me what I need to go where I want. This location too seems a good one, maybe I can spend a happy year or more here.

This, my primary account, is for SFW only. If you would like something pornographic, gory, or just NFSW for whatever reason please leave a note at  dameleth-after-dark. My commission info there will be different, including what I’m willing to do.

~Hiring Me~
A note is an easy way to get a hold of me, with all the specifications of what you would like. Once we have made contact and an agreement is made. I will require payment in advanced before I will begin work on your commission.
-For stories I will send you the first, unedited draft so you can tell me if you like the overall feel of the dialogue, direction of plot, and events. Point out reorganization of anything and all that good stuff. From there I will work on finalizing it and send you the final product for verification and any required fixes.
-For art I will show you the sketch and you can state any errors, or adjustments from there. If it's to be colored, or shaded I'll send you the final product for adjustments as well.


-Story Commissions- I am willing to write most stories of any kind. I may require information on subjects I may be unfamiliar with, but I'm willing to work with what you can show. I’m even willing to learn if you want to teach me to help get it to your satisfaction. ~What I need from you.
To get going I need to know what you would like it to be about. I can do well enough with artistic freedom, given a plot or a theme, or I can work around a character or situation you would like as well as other specifics.

-Art Commissions- Majority of my work is traditional, but I can play around with a paint program or something for colors or drawing. I suppose I could get my hands on a tablet, but I've got no experience with it as a warning. Be warned I'm not very great for shading either.

~Art Medium.
-Pencil
-Colored pencil
-Charcoal
-Digital

~Things I'm willing to do.
I'm willing do most everything. I'm more experienced with transformation and inflation though.

-Soft vore

(If you are unsure of anything or would like to ask if I would do something anyways go ahead and ask. It doesn't hurt to ask and I do like to tell stories.)

-Art
-5$ for a basic sketch
- 10$ for basic colored, or monochrome, or digital lines.
- 15$ for all digital drawn with color.

(Cost of digital art is higher due to lack of experience and amount of learning and labor required. Subject to change after I've completed a few and become more comfortable with it.)

-There maybe additional charges depending on complexity.

I ask that you try not to check in more than two-three times a week. I'll try to keep in contact with you on any slowdowns that may occur. If something does occur, or I decide I can no longer finish your commission for any reason you will get your refund.

You may post the art or story on your page. You may also hire another artist, or alter your commission as you see fit. Being to be colored, used for a base, or whatever else you might have a reason for. So long as you seek my permission first and credit me for the work I have done.

You may not resell the work, or stories I have made you without my permission. Even with my permission you are not allowed to make a profit, selling at, or less than what I was paid for the work.

I've opened up an account as my first story is almost completed.  dameleth-after-dark For those who are interested. Keeping my SFW and NSFW overall seperated. Open for commissions on both sides now, starting at 5$. Be it art, or writing, I'm open for it. Leave a note if you're interested and let's see if I can get any frequency going, always a goal wether I am slow so far, or not.

We have found out at least the one surgeon requires 1600$ to fix our Siamese cat Zorra. She's pulled a tendon, or if she hadn't before did when she fought out of her splint using only her legs. (Cone had no effect.)

Me and my mate  reignewolvenshire are offering our creative services for donations, if anyone wants to simply donate that is fine too. I'm willing to work what I can for a minimal 5$ for art, or a story. I'm willing to step out of my limits to fill comissions, if anyone is willing to help spread the word, that would be very kind as well.

Paypal is darkhalio[at]yahoo.com , feel free to note me about any details and we'll see what we can do.

P.S no longer ill so I could focus on work when not babysitting.

Willing to do adult, clean, short stories, traditional art which can include just pencils, colored, and charcoal, as well any whatever I can put together on my computer with mouse. I can create something for you, try to draw your character, maybe something interacting with one of mine. I have a bunch and could list em out for stuff.

One of our newer cats has pulled her tendon somehow, likely during the night of play is what we figured. If it wasn't before, her attempts to flee the split did it when we took her in. It's the back right leg. We're looking for any help at all for the surgery.

Note me if you'd like to give a donation, if you rather a service I can offer to write something, or I suppose some kind of art. Can't return immediately as I'm sick and a little brain fuzzy at the moment. If anyone can help spread the word for comissions, or donations to help our cat Zorra, please do. We would be thankful for any amount of help.

So, as it has proven the baby.. on top of some game releases. Has slowed down my writing a LOT Saturdays are the only real days I can both write and spend time with my girlfriend internet permitting. The other issue is I tend to need music to accompany me as I write and due to the house fire a year ago I don't have the music library I once had. Internet being stupid I can't often stream any music either. So that also puts a wrench in writing.

Now! I do have some writing going on, re-rewriting things in what I hope will be easier on the eyes. Due to how much time it takes and the way my brain works jumping between stories instead of going from start to finish. I will attempt to keep things going on by releasing them into parts. So I can hopefully get things out there instead of the huge wait it is for me to actually finish and edit an entire story. So things hopefully if it works out, may have content.. and something to look forward too if you like what you see.

So I'll be helping my mother take care of the newborn baby of a close friend of the family. So I'm not yet sure how much rest, concentration, and eventual writing I may actually get done. So much for wanting to get some good stuff out quick. We'll see how it goes, maybe it won't interrupt at least a single story a week.

For a new journal, and to get the news up. I'm trying to get into writing stories, I may even take commissions if anyone shows interest. I used to role play a lot, so that still laying around in there. I've just got a bit of rust to shake off the creativity that's built up over a couple of years of a severe lack of use.

Plans include to start production on a story I've had for awhile now, plan to be a bit of a book, trilogy if I can ever actually fill it all out. Then there's random writings and revisions of role plays. I'm working on the prologues to the story to get some added information out there, and help me get started on filling in the details that are required to actually write the book.

So that's that and I hope if I can get everything out, those of you who come across my page enjoy what you see. I'll be open of course to criticisms and tips to improve my quality. After all I'm completely new to writing stories, and always glad to be as good as I can be.
