dont call me dandy
just dont
just fucking dont ive replaced the name like everything else that does too

EDIT
COWORKERS HAVE NOW SEXUALIZED THE NICKNAME
GREAT

Ive been working 30 and 40 hour weeks and its juat kicking ky butt.
I want to be online more to talk to people. Buts its just taking so much energy to just exist right now.
And its even more energy to even try to talk to people. I want to and i just dont k ow how.
im sorry im bad at this whole communicating thing.

Finally have a laptop to work from. Expect art work to be uploaded after this weekend.
I have a new account for personal work and ocs.  gold.standard
I will still be using dandy.lion for trades, gift art and fanart.
That account is still in the works as I refollow people and upload art I still like, hahah.

Even though I am still using dandy.lion, I would like to make the full switch to being called Gold. Dandy I feel is going to be for fandom spefic stuff. I've become disenchanted with the name, but I still love it in a way and I feel if I keep it to ponies and cartoons, then maybe I can love the name again.

I still dont hqve a laptop! It is as if the cosmos is aginst me hving a functiong laptop hahah

I just got out of dental surgeey. Had a psky wisdom tooh removed. Gotta go back again soon to get the other two cuz hyre imoacted. Im vvvry tired so im gonna nap.
Artistcally i have been very drahd so idk

I hope alk yiu l8vly peoole have a grwt day

Howdy howdy.

Okay, first thigs first, my laptophas shit the bed. And the laptop i was getting from a friend is currently missing its charger.Good news is the scanner works now. I just dont have a way to scan shit now 8)))))
i have fantadtic luckwhooo
so ive been usingthis little tablet for all my online stuff. I can stay in contact with people at least
speaking of contact, i have been super anxious and basically a mess most of febuary, so if you havent heard from me, its honeslty me not having the energy and nothing agai st you in anyways

When i gt back, i plan on making this account strictly for commission, trades and giftart. Ill be making two ne persobal accounts, one sfw and one nsfw. Ill make a journal when i have hose two pages made and active.

Im also proly gonna make some limited off base gemicorns sometime, idk

the goals when i get back to a laptop is as follows
-post scans of art trades/new art
-note other people about trades
-start new accounts

thank you all for stil following me ;; i plan on being more open once my new stuff gets settled
2015 is gonna be my year, i can feel it

I finally got a new aim and i figured i might make a journal say

hey yo if you want my contact, note me

just as a heads up, im gonna be selective who i give it to
im a very nervous and anxious person
i have a hard tine talking, and its even harder to trust people so yeah u xu

Okay so. Next month, on the 14th is the annual gem/rock/mineral/fossil show and sale.
I've been going to this since I was a kid and its important to me. I really love rocks.
So far I've got admission covered, but why go to a rock show with barely any spending money?

Im opening ATC headshot commissions, unlimited slots! Only $7 bucks! Shipping is included in that price!
They'll look like this http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15152478/

Additionally! If you buy 3, get 1 free!

And! Additoonally! A raffle!

Two ways to enter!
1. For ever ATC you purchase, that is 2 entries in the raffle for 1 flat colored full body.

2. If you advertise these commissions for me, say a journal, you get an entry into a raffle for 1 flat colored full body! (if you do please link me on this journal so i can keep track)


As for art trades, I still have to send out the next wave of notes. I've been holding off on it until I can properly scan thigs again. So I will keep everyone updated on that.

Sneaking on to post this whoops lol

The internet is going in and out (cuz my dad is a piss baby who cuts it when things don't go his way.)

I'm just about done wrapping things up, fell behind (because of a piss baby)

I try not to talk about it too much, but long story short my dad is a piece of shit and is the cause of my absence. :))))))
Scanner still needs to be looked at, but I might be able to use a friends scanner this weekend, if it works. So hey!


I've been on a huge Mass Effect kick, and really itching to play through them again. What games have you people been playing lately?

Gonna finish up the other two trades today, then send out the next round of notes! . v.

I'm also looking for more adopts, namely pones and poofylion designs.

I've got a handful of adopts open for trade, but I was also figuring on trading art for adopts. The art would depend on the adopt of course!
So if you are interested in trading, feel free to note me or comment!
(And don't worry if you don't have ponies or poofies, I'll always look at other cuties!)

edit: trades and notes are going to be late because I went over board with these pieces, whoops!

I wanna dosome gore, but have been feeling stuck withmy own characters

so if youd be interested in drawing some gore and would like some gore artmaybe we can trade?? ♡♡♡

edit: i noted a couple people and i'll note more once i work through the ones i got. thank you for the interest lovelies . v.b
feel free to still comment, and i'll get to you!

i still really like dandy as a name for myself
but i feel like gold is more fitting???
i've been having some time to reflect and gold itself is something thats always meant a lot to me for personal reasons
and yeah
you can still call me dandy tho

I hope thigns are goig good for people!!!

Once I get some more examples done and scanned, I hope to set up some commissions.

They'll be in a simple style and on the cheaper end for the holidays!

I was also thinking of opening for gemicorn customs??? maybe?? the customization is a bit rescrticted since most of the colors and patterns come from the minerals haha
It really depends on the interest in them!

but yeah!

i have a bunch of art and trades to post! i just haven't been home to get them scanned. So hopefully by his weekend i will be home and at my laptop.
its my own fault not being home but i just can not deal with my father especially around the holidays.
the last thig i want right now is a huge drama blow up during dinner becauwe hes a racist piece of shit :)))))))))
that aside, i hope yiu guys are doig good!

No internet at my house until middle of week. see you guys around

Okay so now that thing are finally settling down I really wanna blast through some work.

I want to work on posting daily if I can. I was going to try that in October but it was a massive failure hahah
I am working on trades today and a bit of personal stuff as well!
So

I do want to open commissions soon, but until then. I am looking to trade art (or adopts) for more pones or hooved things in general. (or fruit/candy themed adopts in general)
Art would vary on the cost of the adopt obviously, I want to make sure things are fair.
If you are interested please note me! (or if you know anyone who is trading right now if you could point em my way that'd be appreciated ; v;)

Hey guys!! Things have been super busy here. Getting ready to go see my best buds DA COSMIC CREW HECK YEAH so yeah its been a past few days of frantically getting every thing together
I should be back to regular posting within the couple of weeks!

new spoopy icon for the spoopy season

thebakANEKO MADE IT AND I LOVE IT

Trades
Almond - 2 complete, 2 in progress
Bakaneko - complete


Along with trades i am going to try and do the inktober and goretober challenges.
Inktober i am going to try and upload everyday to my tumblr, while goretober I'm probably only going to submit the pieces I actually like.
Until i finish up my trades, I'm goung to be closed for bothe trades and commissions.

Gonna update this journal regularly instead of spamming you guys °◇°

I just realized I got an influx of watchers, so I figure I'd do a small about me for those that are curious!

You can call me Dandy or Heliodor! (Helio for short) Most people just call me dandy!

I have a really bad attention span and get bored easy, so I switch up art styles often. Not like completely dropping, but going back and forth with it, ya know?

I'm really into Cosmos, Steven Universe, MLP, and BrBa as far as shows go.
Reading through Death by Black Hole for the second time. (If some one has a copy of Pale Blue Dot I'd totally trade you some art for it, I haven't seen it around here)

Hobbies?? I guess DnD and reading science books. I do loom knitting and sewing too. Does art really count as a hobby?

I have a hard time talking, even to people I am close too, and trying to add to this is hard hahah. I personally don't think I'm all that interesting. If you want random facts about rocks and cats, I'm your go to and thats about it hahah.


So watchers! What are some of your favorite hobbies?
And what is your current song you love to listen too?
I've been listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtZYGxbYUZc since I woke up hahah

I think i am all caught up?

and now i am trying to fix my sleeep schedule so i have been up for more tuhan 24 hours at this pioint

i migght tyr to post anyways? idk i haavve art to post eventual at any least when i am more coherrant

if i don't respond its becaus i can not focus on things aside form art
qhich is loooking good right now???

Going to be away for the weekend! Posting will resume tuesday at the earliest!
`And by away I mean I won;t have my laptop, I'll still be able to respond to notes.

gonna post a bunch of the chibi refs I did before bronycon. (me in my infinite wisdom thought it'd be more fun to make refs instead of just printing out their digital art :I )

Nearly all of them are ponies from  starfawn !! So you should check them out!



SPEAKING OF PONIES

If people have pony ocs for trade (starfawn or not) I might be interested in trading ocs or art for them!!
