Just cause i don't have the mental capacity to continue replying to notes every other day i want to update everyone right here.

Yes.
I am still working.

I apologize that i'm slowly working, i am just trying to find a workable balance between owed art from a while back and owed art from this last month, while simultaneously trying not to stress out over the $250 i need to help make for my energy and phone bills still.

It's not easy, I don't have the space for it, and its very stressful.

so if i don't respond to notes immediately, please try to be patient with me, i'm working really hard and i wish i could work faster with the same amount of quality, but that's impossible.

;u; thanks to everyone who helped me last month too, i promise i will be getting the sketches and references and icons and busts and everything done, hopefully sooner than later. X_X

now, i'm going to go bury myself in art and hope that i get more than one thing done tonight. -tinysobbing-

omg
yeah you heard me.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6851903

go there to find out more :B

seriously you won't be disappointed.


as for stream tonight, i'll be getting to it soon, and i'll be starting with Stampy's art :3

may or may not get to both of them tonight, we'll see.

but i'm gonna finish inking something of mine real quick, and then after the first warmup, if i'm not feeling like drawing more, i'm gonna work on Astralin's commission.

P.S

did FA's new @ system just burn in a fire cause it hasn't been working xD hmmm

T3T i need to come up with another $350 for rent in the next 2 days so i'm gonna go ahead and open for these.
Just because i don't want to deal with the inking process and i already have more on my plate than i wanted to accrue.

I'm going to take -7- of these colored sketches for $50.
I will be working on them after the 1st, which gives me time to work a little more on my old queue, which i was trying to chisel down before i had to take on more.

Also gives me time to finish those busts that i took for the vet bills before i work on bigger sketch commissions.

payments are due before the 1st, preferably today, so i can go to the bank tomorrow and get all of the money organized neatly into an account where i can actually use it for the rent bill. (tomorrow is my roomies day off so i'd prefer to do it on her day off than to wait til she has work and do it then x-x)

If you can't help i'd love it if you could spread the word u_u

I will be streaming these on the 1st, or on the 2nd. I'll let you know which one it is though.

EXAMPLES:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16018120/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15547497/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15282369/

Slots:
1. Stampy - paid
2. Deathhydra- paid
3. Anirus- Paid
4. leinir - paid
5. Renki-Blackwolf - paid
-closed

IF there is no interest for these, i may just open up 2 or 3 reference slots, but those will probably be at $150 each since i already have a pretty list of them i need to finish. Anyways! message me here if you're interested in one of these, i'm going to go finish some more art

AND DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT MY PATREON! (i'm updating rewards, currently, but a few of them have a better visual for what you'll get than the others, please be patient while i fix the page up ;u;)
https://www.patreon.com/Darkomi?ty=h

T3T i can't really afford to be depressed for longer than a day and a half so i have been working on commissions once again. I will have to open up for new ones soon, however, due to the fact that all the money i HAD went into Wicker's vet bills, which didn't end up helping much in the end or we would have had to make $2500 PLUS the $600 for rent.

so yeah.
will be posting new art shortly. will likely also be streaming soon.

If you want to help out in a way that doesn't drown -me- in commissions, you may ask me about my fiance's prices/collaborations with my fiance, or maybe even collaborations with my bestie   hedgievamp

I'll get references together a little later, for now i want to focus a little more on my current queue.

IN SIMILAR NEWS.
I opened a patreon in hopes of clearing up my queue enough that i won't be backlogged with art for the rest of my life. If you'd like to support me in my creations you can find that here: https://www.patreon.com/Darkomi?ty=h

If I get enough support to my patreon there is a REALLY good chance that I will be able to start doing free art for people who can't afford commissions all the time.

If you can't pledge, that's okay!
If you can, and are willing, also feel free to give me some ideas as to what you'd like to see more of, or if you think i should add anything (within reason of course) to the pledges!

Some things will be added eventually but for now i think where i have it is a pretty good start? thanks for reading my journals guys! i know they haven't all been rainbow and sunshine recently |D
hopefully i'll be able to change that soon.

And in a more positive note, thanks to everyone who supports me every month despite how slow i've been. I couldn't do anything without you guys, and your support means worlds to me, more than i could ever put down in words!

https://www.weasyl.com/journal/8776.....is-one-shorter

don't expect a lot of activity for a little bit.

So i realize i've been super impersonal as an artist on FA, everything has been work work work work work. all i ever talk about is commissions, how much i need money, etc etc.

Sooo, I was just wondering if there was anything anyone would like to ask me that is Unrelated to commissions. Personal stuff, what i like, what i don't like, games, movies, Shows, that sort of stuff?

I'm usually pretty to myself about stuff that i like, and that's just how i normally am (like, my friends don't know stuff that i thought was obvious at some time or another)

Tigers are my favorite animals, i own a ps3, a wii u, a 3DS, a steam account.

I don't play a ton of videogames because i'm always working but i do love playing games.

I play a lot of guildwars 2 and pokemon Shuffle lately. have been re-watching a lot of Supernatural on netflix, re-watched some bleach for shits and giggles, and after finishing bigger commissions i doodle small things for myself or for my fiance.

SO YEAH, questions? comments? recommendations?

idk, just want to try and be more social @u@

I'm stuck at the vet with 300 less than I need to get wicker taken care of.
He's got a urinary inflammation and even knocked down to an affordable price is going to be $490, I have 220 ish from you awesome folks who bought busts, but past that I'm pretty screwed....
I'm going right to work when I get home from the vet, so I'm hoping to get a ton of stuff done tonight and the following days..

But need help now.

Going to do 3 $100 refs, wI'll have a front back, eyes and possibly an outfit chibi or 2

Help please! ;u;
we can change up stuff I just need money asap

These will also be collaborations with my fiance to make sure I finish faster. ... x-x

1 of 3 taken

Taking $20 busty sketches to help my kitten, he's drooling, constipated and locked in my bathroom. Won't drink anything we give him so we may have to take him to the vet to get him help.

Don't know how much it will cost so I'm taking a few of these. They will be shaded and colored busts like the ones I offered before. I'll get an example up in a bit, I'm not currently at my computer or id get it now.

Let's start with 6 of these? Anything not used at the vet for this will go towards neutering and rent!

If you can spread the word I'd be super grateful. Will be working on stuff I power people today and then do some busts and then go back to owed art.

Example!
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15386852/

so my fiance really wants to go to Anime Expo to cosplay around with their friends like they used to do this year, and since AX is already kinda getting started (i think lol) They wanted to try and get a ticket for a single day over there and enough moneys to feed them too.

IF you're looking for a commission, could you seriously consider taking one from Rae? ;u; They don't post on FA but i can be mediator... i just really want to send Rae off to have fun and Rae doesn't want me taking on more commissions myself.

another way to help? i have a few adopts up right here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16644069/ 3 of them need homes (#2 is the only one who was taken)

and i'd love to put that money towards Rae's trip.


prices for Rae's commissions are as follows!

http://puu.sh/igYSr/1a098519fe.jpg

15 dollar icons https://www.weasyl.com/submission/8.....ion-kurai-icon
80 dollar 2 character porn images (flat colored, 100 with shading) - these may be collaborations! (Humanoid couples get a 10 dollar discount cause I'm effing desperate for a human/oid example for this)
20 dollar sauros adopts https://www.weasyl.com/submission/6.....sauros-example
50 dollar full body images with shade (single character) https://www.weasyl.com/submission/8.....etzal-by-lotix akin to this


If you want to help out you can message them on Weasyl, or me here, and i'll pass the information along TuT

going back over my sketches i did in stream on my desktop, i'm starting to notice they look really thin and stretched out -bad-

does anyone know how to fix the settings on my TV so that i can get colors/length/width actually accurate? cause i'm super apalled by how some of these sketches came out and i'm really honestly thinking of redoing some of the art that came out stretched or just.... ugh.

.n.

like i've been on my laptop for a few days in a row cause we're rewatching Supernatural in the living room, so i've been working on that Dragon Age commission in the living room so i can watch TV too...

and i'm noticing a lot of ick from my desktop art that's really starting to upset me.

I don't want my desktop to affect my art quality, cause that's just bad business.

halp?

I ended stream early tonight cause my motivation was dwindling, sorry there were no journals on here, i just... i actually can't say what happened there cause idk xD

anyways, i have a bit over $140 left to make for bills and rent.

I was wondering if there was anyone else interested in taking some slots for sketches?
and if so would you prefer the fullbody $25 ones, or would you guys be interested in some more of these busts: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16155122/

still trying to keep the projects fairly small so i don't overwork myself (which i am feeling isn't working so well xD;)

so yeah, opinions?

I think i got it worked out, actually ;u; takin tomorrow off then i'll be back on my owed art<3

since i've been getting a pretty steady inflow of notes, i just wanted to update everyone on what's going on and why things have been particularly slow for me recently.

I need to make rent at the end of each month cause it's due on the first of every month (that's a given) and after rent there are other bills, like my net and energy.

that's all good and fine you all know how that goes xD

but on top of all that, and juggling commissions, i've also been trying to take care of my fiance's mental well-being. which isn't always easy. If i ignore them and just work on commissions all day, they feel worse. so i have to take time off my work to do stuff with Rae, and that's understandable... or at least i hope it is? @-@;

So i apologize for how long things are taking, i'm actually focusing on my older standing commissions FIRST this week. (hoping to finish all my icons since i've had the monster ones a really long time) And then after that i'll move on to my full-color commissions with full bodies.

I am REALLY sorry for how long things have been taking but i've been trying my hardest to juggle everything in a fair way TuT. I feel really bad but there is literally nothing i can do but keep working through the list, and when i have to pay bills i HAVE to take on more or i'll go homeless and there won't be any artwork at all...

It's frustrating for everyone and i was really hoping i could have my list more cleaned up by now but that hasn't been the case....

So for bills i may just switch out to only doing my quicker sketches so i can get them out of the way quickly and then get back to my big list.

luckily i don't have any immediate bills this week, but next week i may have to start getting money for my energy bill.

so thanks everyone for being so patient, and i apologize again for the long waits. @-@
you can always check Trello, i keep it continuously updated. (Astralin i will be adding yours to the list today cause i've been slow on that for far too long)

P.S. I am streaming old owed sketches and some other stuff today, so if you want to come watch, just know that Rae is watching and is stressed out and also is busy, so try to keep things nice XD
picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=Darkomiarts

i'm takin 4 more of these suckers if there's interest, i'll be working on them in stream TOMORROW.
Today is my Fiance's birthday and i'd like a little cash to do something nice with them, so if you're interested in getting a sketch like: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16455345/ then hit mee uppp!

$25 ea
if you want to add FLATS that'll bump it up to $35
i won't be accepting fully colored sketches like the fancy one i did for Kojio in my main gallery right now xDD

lots of work that eats up too much time, y'know?

NOTE ME or comment in this journal if you're interested!


if you just want to watch me draw, i'll be doing doodles for Rae today in stream, but idk if they'll be asking for NSFW later so if you still have my picarto link, or you can find it, be my guest to join ;3

xDD but for now!
-flee-

how would everyone feel about Base References for a lowered price?
and if that perks your interests how much information would you be looking for via the refs?

a front, back, outfits perhaps?
mouths/ faces?
what kinds of species?

what would you look for in a base reference? something we can fix up faster than one for scratch?
let me knooww before its too late xD

Soooo, fun news, our rent got increased about $15 for each of us... doesn't sound too bad, until you take away my fiance's tuition for school, and their utter lack of current commissions. That being said, the next few months are gonna be really rough, so i'm applying to work at our local fast food Sonics drive in.

hopefully i get that.

It's been really stressful for Rae so i wanna do all that i can to help out.
SOOO we're doing collaborative commissions for $50
I will be doing the sketches, maybe inks if i have time, and Rae will be coloring and shading the pictures. Can be NSFW, and here's an example of our work: https://cdn.weasyl.com/~ubiquitoust.....huntress-p.png

isn't that awesome? :D yas?
hell yas.

so yeah, come at me bros!

5 slots for now 83

Also another NSFW YCH will be going up soon, i just wanted to finish my current YCH before I posted it xP thanks for the patience guys! i'm working really hard to get through my queue and will likely only be taking on smaller commissions for my side of rent (like $25 sketches and such)

well, today is my personal day, but our kitty Wicker needs to get neutered cause he's started 'spraying'

T-T and i need about $50 for the phone bill...
SO

i'm gonna take 4 sketches for $25
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/13366212/
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/12711817/
https://cdn.weasyl.com/static/media.....6e783dbb00.png

digital, may toss on some shading if i blaze through them.

I'll be working on one tonight, one tomorrow, and Wednesday i'll do 2 more.

(since tomorrow is comic day i want to make sure i get that work done, but depending on how i feel i may do more sooner.)

anyways, if you want pretty sketches feel free to note me!

|D sorry, thought i was done with bills for the month but APPARENTLY NOT.

all paid
all finished.
streams over :D thanks for coming!

since i didn't get any interest on Weasyl or on my twitter, i'm going to offer here too.

Example
https://cdn.weasyl.com/static/media.....0cbe6e2fa4.png

$35

OR you can pwyw and i can work on different paper for your sketches (if pwyw, minimum is $5 and i'll decide what i feel like doing with your character... so its sort of like roulette. xD with art!)

but yeh, going to be out all day today and i want to get some sort of creative work thing done since rent is coming up and when i get home i want to be able to focus a little more on my digital work TuT

gonna take a few of these depending on how big of a piece people want, or if people want it at all.

will ship if requested.

thanks in advance!
i'll be responding through my phone, more than likely, so my apologies if i'm a little bit slow :3

if this falls through i may do a colored sketch when i get home digitally, donno yet.

EDIT:
apparently i won't be checking via my mobile because our phones are shut off currently.
which means my phones net is kaput and i can't respond. so these are now emergency commissions to help pay the phone bill and gather rent money.

can i has break plz.
-dies-

  Galix_artistry is the creator of thems. they're super awesome.
let me show you how awesome, yes?

But firstly, he's going to be making an adopt, and everyone should check it out and or watch him.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16081824/


for more info on Dravisk, go here   Dravisk
AND JUST LOOK AT HOW COOL THEY ARE *-*
SO COOL

so support an awesome artist, and get your hands on a super cool species when the auction goes up, yas?
it'll be a super nifty ref-sheet.

here's some cool Dravisk characters-

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10224759/

yep, i'm done.
xD
SRSLY GO LOOK

how, omg.
so, i've been meaning to start recording all my art and putting it up on youtube so people can see a speed draw/paint/whatever of the commisions and art i do.
but i need music and i really don't feel right taking stuff off my normal playlists to put in the videos.

Any chance anyone would like to either:

A. Make something for the channel in exchange for art (so like an art trade)
B. send me something premade and I can credit back to your FA page/ website (crediting back either way this goes, but yeah)

or we can talk about something else?

If no, that's fine, i'll just have to save up moneys and go buy me some musics xD but yeah, just wondering if this is something anyone would be interested in.

I just don't want to deal with Youtube deleting audio from my files cause finding royalty free stuff that doesn't make my ears bleed is really really becoming difficult.


but yeh. offers up, note me/ Email me @ Shaden.bullet[at]gmail.com if you're interested (or maybe have some quotes for prices. idk!)

to watch my fiance struggle to get feedback on things over on Weasyl. Even I have issues getting feedback over there and it's a little frustrating. I really want to help Rae out but all I can do is throw down a link and point at it, and honestly i can do that all i want but it's really up to my fanbase to go and click it.

and to be honest i don't actually know how many of you actually click over there when i post journals about it, but it doesn't feel like many.
It's not like Rae is a bad artist, Rae is certainly not a bad writer.

Does anyone have some kind of opinion on writing, or on how i can possibly help to get Rae some exposure? idk, i feel like i've tried everything and nothing works x'D

If anybody has a Weasyl and wants to check out Rae's stuff, i have a link, i just... part of me wants everyone to bombard them with love, the other part of me feels like it'd be too fake.
;n; idk.
There are a couple other places you can find Rae's update stuff at, i guess i should link those too, since They're no longer on FA

/feels bad journal
i'll go take my shower and get back to work now. x-x

i didn't get a chance to post about this because i was putting up the YCH for the couple, but my fiance had put a YCH up at around the same time that they were hoping to do as a collaboration with me.

It IS a NSFW image, btw :P Rae likes smut. XD

here's the link: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/884722/ych-sale
for those without a Weasyl account: https://www.weasyl.com/~ubiquitoust.....y-ych-sale.png

One pose is open and the other is closed, HOWEVER the person who purchased the pose is going to let you decide which pose you'd prefer to take and he'll take the other pose.

so, yeah, just need one more person for the YCH, choose your spot! The pose will be for $45

this will be yer "partner": http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15731592/

thanks for taking a look!

(I'll be sketching, Rae will ink and flat, and i'll do shading/touchups.)

end of the month is coming up and i don't want to wait til the last minute to get commissions SO. TuT you guessed it, Commissions are opeen

Please refer to my commission website if you have any interest at all in a commission and send me an email at Shaden.bullet@gmail.com!

http://nightsoulillustrations.weebly.com/

thanks guys!

you can get anything you want, i'll be tearing through my list here still, so warmups to come and a bunch of icons and refs yay!

i didn't know that journal was actually going viral, it was more of a reminder to unclick the shipping when you're doing commissions xD

AHEM. anyways.

with that being said, i'm hitting cram time, going to get as many commissions done as possible, but rent will be coming up in another week or so, so i need to make my rent up, and my internet, annd my other bills.

SO, expect lots of art soon, sorry i haven't been posting more, i'm actually not sure what happened there?

-coughs-

xD ANYWAYS.

art flood, and new commission slots soon! (finishing warmups after i'm done with this full body and then i'm gonna kick out a ton of icons)

So i've actually had a few people send me money without doing this, and i really don't want my only source of income getting screwed, SO!

just in case you haven't seen it going around yet, i'm going to copy paste exactly what needs to be seen:

"OKAY SO BEFORE YOU SEND ANY MONEY FOR THAT AWESOME COMMISSION YOU WANT TO BUY FROM THAT AWESOME ARTIST. PLEASE STOP AND READ THIS.

Paypal changed the look of how you will fill out information and send money. Thus, you need to be super careful. Don’t go all willy nilly through and be like “Yeah yeah yeah send” you need to stop when you see this screen right away.

Before you proceed, you will first notice one major thing: your address is showing. What you need to do if you are ordering a DIGITAL WORK (aka, it is being sent to you via the interwebz) is you need to click on your address and there around be a drop down menu of 3 (or more) options:

No address needed
Your Current Address
+ Add a new shipping address
Be sure to select “No address needed”, it is very important that you do. If you leave your address in there, Paypal will assume that you are to receive a physical package. A physical package which needs proof that exists physically. Paypal will want the artist to provide shipping labels and tracking info on said package. This is bad, very, very bad. Artists can get in trouble if they cannot provide these things.

Please, if an artist asks to send you back your money so that you can send it again correctly, do not be offended. You are paying them to do your commission, how can they do your commission with no money?

Reblog this, send this around, if you want to make a proper tutorial go ahead, I hope this was clear enough as it is."
