Financial security and blowing the dust off of my tablet!
Posted 11 years ago
I have been absent for too long.
I need to start back up and become motivated again.
*huffs*
I have moved, I am crazy broke, and am getting cheated for hours at work.
I need to get back to work on my art.
If anyone sees my motivation, please kick it in the rear and send it back home.
Busy busy! *cries* (General Update yo.)
Posted 11 years ago
I apologize in advance for such an absence!
I have reasons though (and pretty good ones imho >3>)
Recently I was offered a promotion at work to become an assistant manager
and I was then forced to speed up my training due to the temp assistant
creating drama and rage quitting. I have been working more hours on longer
shifts earlier in the day (meaning 4am ~u~") so needless to say, I am beat.
I am confident though, once I get used to the schedule change I will be on
more and posting waaaaay more often.
In other news, the adopt I made will be moved to my scraps for a low AB
price for anyone interested. I am a little bummed that no one liked her,
but what are you gunna do? *shrugs* If you are interested please PM me!
As well, the raffle is officially ended, and I will be picking the winners in the
upcoming week. I will be checking to see who followed me and who may have
ducked out. Remember all winners must be watching me. If I see that you
have removed your watch, you will be automatically disqualified.
Lastly, thank you guys for all your support. <3 I miss you, and hope to be on soon.

Hairless Rat Names! (And other fuzzy updates)
Posted 11 years ago
So~!
Figured I would update you guys on my babies, because they
truly are my children and I love them they are sooo cute-
*ahem*
My baby Mika[can be seen here] is getting spayed this weekend.
I am both nervous and excited for her, just because I know she
will feel better once it is done. I highly trust the vet that is operating
on her, and the facility as well as the workers are phenomenal.
I first took Mika there on an emergency when NO ONE else would
take her. I was short on cash because it was two days before pay
and everyone wanted over 700 dollars before they would see her.
Finally I take her to this little vet clinic in a cozy log cabin themed
building, and they take her right in, no questions asked. They didn't
even want to talk about billing until they made sure Mika was okay.
If there was anywhere that housed angels who tended to animals, it
would be there.
Anywho, I took her out and got her a new lead and collar, tags, and
some yummy treats that are good on her teeth. She truly is the sweetest
lil pup. <3 I am so glad she found me.
Annnnnd...
On to the newest edition to the family~! This past weekend I finally
plucked up the courage to get the pet I have always wanted, a
hairless rat. I have owned a fancy rat before, but I didn't not expect
him to be so tiny, friendly, and cuddly. The same day I brought him
home he was completely content with curling up at my neck or in my
pocket, and he is not flighty at all. I am so happy I can have the joy
of him in my life.
He also looks like a little old man. x3
He is not technically a full hairless, meaning he has tufts of fur on
certain points of his body. His fur is a dusty grey, and between tufts
of that on his face and his little skin wrinkles, he looks like a little old
man, and it is the cutest goddamn thing. I cannot get over the cute.
Lastly! If you would like to suggest a name below, I would love some ideas.
NO:
-Japanese names
-stereotypical human names (jeff, steve)
-offensive names
-Try to keep it short and sweet. (I plan to train him, and the shorter, the better.)
YES:
-Harry Potter themed names
-Deity/Pagan themed names
-Names with one or two syllables
Thank you my darlings for reading my babbling. You can tell I don't get out much.

As some of you may already know, I have been fighting a long,
hard battle with my cable company about my internet service.
They want me to pay without them providing a service, and then
threw a hissy fit when I said that was unfair. >:c
After all was said and done however, your lovely sir came out on
top. (for noowww) >3>;
I have a couple bits of info for you guys, commission stuff will
be here, and personal stuff (if you care) will be in another journal.

[SamuRAI Full Body Cell Shade]
I am thinking of opening up colored sketch commissions when
I finish these. I may experiment a bit on them, but I would like
to offer something cheaper that can still show off your sona's
wonderful colors~!
Anyone interested? if not I won't do them.
I may also make them PWYW and see how that goes for me.
Well, I am off for now. If you want to know about fun Tarot TIEMZ
where I tell you about my crazy (non-existent) life, stay tuned~!
Updates on commissions! Wolfenlust and RaiTerra Please Read!
Posted 11 years agoUpdating to let you guys know I am not dead! :'D
Unfortunately due to the horribly crummy weather here I have been battling extra call ins for work (since I live so close I am always the first they call), downed power and downed internet. (If anyone has a cable provider, you KNOW how much they love to screw people over.)
Wolfenlust, I am going to try and attempt uploading a photo from my phone to FA, but I am sure the colors will be all kinds of screwy. :c I will also be trying to re-install Skype on my phone so I may be contacted more easily.
Rai, I have finished your sketch, but as seen above, I have not been able to upload it for your viewing pleasure.
I will be trying the same method I am hoping to use for Wolfen, but I have never tried uploading from my phone before, so we shall see how it goes!
1000 apologies to you two lovelies. I am still on track though to have them finished by the end of this week, so no worries!
If you have any comments, questions, or concerns you can definitely reach me at TarotDarkley@aol.com.

Trial Commissions (Closed)
Posted 11 years ago
I would like to open up for some trial commissions.
About five or six months back I said I was open for commissions, but I didn't
truly know what I was doing. I wanted to take some time to improve and get
myself settled before I was officially going to start doing commissions, and I
now feel a bit more ready to tackle the responsibility.
What I am asking is this: I am going to open an experimental slot for each
kind of commission I will offer, and I would like some test subjects volunteers!
Prices can be found HERE.
If you participate you will get 40% off of these prices!
Like I said before, these are trials, so please be willing to work with me and help
me improve. I would like to get feedback from each one about their experience
and ask that you PLEASE come to me before you leave anything negative on any
artist review sites or pages. I want to be a reputable artist and I need your help.
Comment below if you are interested!

UGHUGHGOAWAYYYY. (personal)
Posted 11 years ago
So I have anxiety, and it is rearing its ugly head.
I have been trying to sleep, but it is not happening.
I hate that I will be exhausted all day at work but
when I get home and can actually sleep, I am up
until three o'clock in the morning.
I get this stupid pit in my stomach and a heavy
feeling in my chest that won't let me sleep. I am
constantly worrying about stupid things and then
making said things worse when I dwell on them.
The most I can really do at this point is take some
allergy medicine and hope I can wake up at six in
the morning. >n<
wish me luck guys.

That annoying moment when...[angry rant]
Posted 11 years ago
Someone decides to copy your sona.
Seriously though, this is disgusting and I HATE IT.
Your sona is supposed to be a reflection of you, a part of who you are.
What does it say about you when you copy someone else?
It is okay to take pieces and parts you like (i.e. big fennec ears and/or horns)
but it is NOT okay to take it, change the color and call it something different
when it CLEARLY is a carbon copy of someone's sona.
You are still copying and being awful.
Don't do it.
Taking something as inspiration is one thing.
Jacking something as personal as a sona and claiming it as yours?
Saying you had it first and the OA copied off of you?
It is despicable and disrespectful.
DON'T.
