I may not be open YET, but you can post a quote and basically put yourself on queue for a slot if you just go here.

http://commissionhoot.tumblr.com/submit

Theres a bit to read, but if you skim through you should be fine. :) It's basically my way of remaining organized now, from here on out.
And is my secretary who runs the tumblr bahaha. She's getting paid once a month and everything - that girl.

BUT YES it has prices and EVERYTHING. So if you /know/ you've been wanting to commission me, then dude! Make a quote <3 as soon as I get rid of the list that I have now, the people who've made quotes basically have first dibs.

Basically, I'll have two free slots. Of the quotes, I'll only be taking two. If you were accepted, I'll post your quote (unless you don't want it to be posted publicly, then it'll be posted privately, which I suggest you specify in your quote!) onto the tumblr. The tumblr posts will PRETTY MUCH be my to do list. Once I finish your image, I'm literally going to edit the post that was created for you and replace it with the image that you commissioned! (Unless, once again, It's private)

Just please take the time to read the guidelines for my sake <3
It's a fairly easy deal if directions are followed. Thank you all!

so far I am really sure that I'm going to cali at some point to visit kat and treble. 100% sure i'm going to canada at some point.
I'll also be attending anthrocon hopefully with , and :o

but I'm actually now planning to go to ITALY too with two long times buds of mine. :' D I really hope that works out.
I have so much in store for the summer before I head off to University. Traveling is really going to give me the taste of being on my own and learning how to deal on my own.

ahhh, alll of this planning just makes the summer really really exciting ;v; and by then, I know I'll be driving too. so texas stops are a must, especially to hang out with my buttbuddies, , and

Any other NICE places that you guys would like to suggest? Honestly, even places here in the US - though I've been to many already. :' D I really want to start making these plans as soon as possible, and I'll finalize them as soon as I'm done paying for my partial, FC, and and visiting.

But suggest suggest!

Also, I need to go back and respond to all of those journal comments - especially the parrot ones. All of your advice has been really helpful, and little bit little I've been seeing improvement in Willow, too. :>
oh and at some point, I need to get me hair chopped off. :' D hehehe, still very much leaning towards the hair style I had in mind before.
I hope you all have been good! Again, sorry I've been slow in responding to messages and stuff. <3 I'll get to them in due time!

with my coloring style!
i've had a coloring style in mind but ugh i really gotta experiment some to get it right.
i just dunnooo. i really got to find a style i'm really happy with :<

also, sorry for all of the journals asking for advice and stuff, only to give you guys no response. xD I'm reading all of your comments I swear <3 I just need to go through everything when I have the proper time and thought ughhbuh.

example is here: http://d.facdn.net/art/dictator/131.....ponesketch.png

GUYS. i want to take commissions like this later. I can do a full mind blowing sketch page like this of a character of your (a pony one).

CAN YOU HELP ME WITH A PRICE RANGE PERHAPS?
Keep in mind that one traditional sketch of mine is usually $5 <3 while my full digital pieces go up to $80. be reasonable ;v; i was thinking maybe 15-20? But I’d like opinions!

I'm just going to copy and paste this from my tumblr post here: http://hootaloo.tumblr.com/post/115.....23/parrot-help

a little while back, I got my bird, Willow. I was really damn young when I got him, and I socialized him myself, despite my bites and bruises, and we became the best of fucking buds. I would always take him out to my friend’s houses, have him with me whereever i went. He was just my baby, basically. He was with me wherever I went, even despite the fact that he has no toes. He can’t perch, basically. He can but it’s hard for him to balance. So taking him out usually involved me grabbing him all around, which, at the time, he was fine with. He was so comfortable with me that he would be fine laying on his back at the palm of my hand - I even taught him how to play dead. lol

When I moved from Philadelphia to Texas, nothing changed. But my parent’s hadn’t gotten his wings clipped, and I didn’t know. I took him outside because I wanted to teach him a trick or two, but he flew away. I was pretty freaking devastated, but after a whole day’s searching, we eventually found him. Because his inability to perch would, inevitably, have him landing on the ground (Or on a roof, but we were very lucky that didn’t happen). So we found him, but ever since I’ve been absolutely petrified to take him out for sake that it happened again - wings clipped or not. And that was when I was in the fifth grade. I’m a senior about to go to college now and, unfortunately, the trust for eachother that we had then has, since, dwindled. He still steps up on my arm and so forth, but I’ve been too nervous and afraid of him biting me to go much further than that. And so he’s been pretty deprived of human interaction, except when it’s my dad.

I want to try to socialize him again. Do any of you bird experts out there have any tips that I could find helpful? Keep in mind, too, that he can’t perch. I can’t take him out of his cage with him stepping up. I usually have to hold him myself and stuff, but I can put him back him with him stepping up on my arm.

Please help ;v;. He’s such a good bird. What are some good things to do to slowly gain his trust back?

tx pride bb.

says when he comes to visit, i have it coming
he's going to beat me
what do i DOOOOOOOOOO

I bailed out on furry fiesta because I didn't think it'd be very fun.
If things go well and according to plan and I can find a place to room at, I think I'll probably be heading over to Further Confusion instead in January!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know for a fact I'd be hanging with there if I go. : D

I'm pretty damn excited. Pretty damn excited if this pulls through. Not only that, but and should still be coming over for february too. so I'm pretty stoked for next year.

And HOPEFULLY in Halloween, will be coming over, and perhaps sleeping over jkdfkjg.
and then I should be traveling to all sorts of places during the summer after I graduate. all sorts of freaking places. I'm thinking of even having an art table in anthrocon or something when that time comes - because I'll be there too! :' D

I'm not open, but my buddy is <3
and if you're an avid pony lover, you will LOVE her stuff!

take a gander here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2785130/

watch the transformation

f5 again as i took off her troublesome buttheart

I'm just going to take a moment to feature
A friend of mine who's been here for quite a bit and sports this amazing art that people definitely need to acknowledge more.

after i got my eyes on this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6597325/ I simply had to lol. you guys now what an avid bird fan I am, and the lighting in this is just so badass I just couldn't help myself anymore.

so go pay her a visit, a watch, a hello! she's fantastic and super sweet, too. :)

: D

gerrrrronimoooooooo

So I've decided that will roughly be my commission account.
Any mature art you can find over on http://hootlick.tumblr.com though! Commissions and other things alike

advice for keeping cool?
my life is just going wrong on all directions right now.

I know things will get better - just have to keep telling myself that.
Nothing stays this low forever, but I would sure like some things that you guys do to make yourself feel better - especially things you do alone.
I don't have many friends here, and my farther off friends, sweetie,corgibug and galaxys should hopefully be coming to my rescue this weekend.

I could really use a hug.

wow I'm so flattered guys! xD who else gets that many in a day??

No but seriously. <3 Thank you all for rewatching me. It really, really means a lot to know that you all still want to keep up with me. ;__; You're all sweethearts.



Put yer volume up so you can hear the little boy xD He's a bit quiet. But ohh my gosh did I enjoy this.

I'm sure you all are just full of confusion with this sudden move, but it's something I've been planning for a little bit now.
Ummm, for all of you simply finding my account on your own accord, rather than through my previous main, I used to be .

I guess I'll just do this all in FAQ style, since I can already foresee the questions that I'll be getting asked.

-Will you still be drawing birds?

Yes I will be. I'm still the 'bird artist' you all know and love, but I'm adding a bit more variety into it, rather than just birds. Hence why my main character has changed. Birds aren't the only thing I can draw! But I do love to draw them a hell of a lot and this move isn't going to stop me from drawing them. I didn't move so I could completely overwrite everything I do and love. I'm still good ol' Hoot/Ash. \

-Why did you move?

Truthfully, I moved because I feel that Hoot holds a really painful past. Ever since I joined FA on Hoot, I've never had the ability to prosper on my own. I just have a really negative view now of the account, and I found it more useful for me to just make a move, and start off on a clean slate.
I'm not trying to pretend to be someone else. I'm not trying to act like someone else. In fact, the only thing that's changed here is my fursona, which is now a dragon, Lovebird, and my furaffinity name. The art's still the same, everything's still the same, my history doesn't change one bit, neither does my personality or views, it just feels like it comes with a breath of fresh air. :)

-Does this mean 'Hoot' the gryphon is gone...?

Oh no! Really, what happened with Hoot is, to put it simply, she stepped down from the throne. She 'retired'. I'll still draw her plenty, I'm sure, but while she's stepped down from my fursona spot, Lovebird's stepped up. I've had Hoot since 2005. She went from a crazy, poopy brown, complicated looking gryphon, to the way she is now. I've had far too much history with her to give her up, and she has a lot of sentimental value to me. I was thinking about giving her up, but I simply couldn't do it. In fact, it was hard deciding to switch fursonas to begin with. Making Lovebird finally likeable enough to call her my fursona meant that I had to give her some Hoot attributes. I gave her the fluffy butt, and on the back of her rump she has a little heart. :> When I make a proper ref for her, you'll be able to see all of what I mean.
It also just feels darn good to have a character that doesn't have a beak. My gosh, making expressions with beaks is just a darn pain. :<


But that's really about it. If you have any more questions, go ahead and ask them in the journal! Otherwise, I hope to have more decent art, and my commissions, up soon once my spark comes back. <3
