I'm now going to offer speed paint drawings as a cheaper digital option. These are 4X6 inches at 300DPI and priced at an hourly rate. I will work nonstop for one full hour for 8$, once that hour is up I will stop. If you would like the image to be more refined after that you can pay either 4$ for another 1/2 hour or 8$ for another hour. You can also say right from the beginning that you want 2 hours and pay 16$ (etc...)

Here is an example of one at an hour 1/2: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3831771

Any subject matter and number of characters allowed for these. However no graphic porn whatsoever.

Payment through paypal, note me if interested. :)

After tomorrow I'm officially done with my spring semester at NIU! I'm so happy to have a nice break since I'll only be taking 1 summer class this year, and it's only an online course too. This means I'll have tons of free time for commissions, streaming, and maybe even a few art trades.



I have a lot planned this summer. I'm getting back into ustreaming my digital works (maybe even my traditional stuff too if I get a web cam) Keep an eye out for my journals when I'll be announcing when I'll be online. I'll be offering freebies again most streams after I'm done working on a project. ;)



 iowncharles and I will soon be offering a new summer badge option, so keep an eye out for that within the next week or 2.



I'm planning on going to AC with  iowncharles and  firefeathers . Planning everything is still in the works, but I'm pretty certain I'll be there. :) I'll also be at ACEN next weekend, although I won't have a table there. :(



Lastly I'm fully open for commissions with no draw backs of school getting in the way. :P Check out my commission list and note me if your are interested!

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1118029/

keep in mind all digital commissions are 5$ off plus a free sticker of your choice sent to you!



I hope everyone is doing well these days and I'd like to thank everyone who is watchingme/faving my work as well as giving me comments and feed back, I appreciate it all very much! *massive hugs*

I'm also getting back into Ustreaming again this summer. I want to hear your thoughts. Do you like livestream or ustream better? Also what's a good free desktop webcam program I can use? ManyCam always seems to freeze up my computer and the other one I used last year isn't free anymore. :(

Hey everyone! After a long drive with  iowncharles and  firefeathers I finally got home around 10:30 11ish last night. I'm still recovering over the lack of sleep, but it was well worth it!

I just want to say thanks to everyone who stopped by my tablein the artist alley, I had a blast hanging out and chatting with everyone. I met so many fun and hilarious people, some I even recognized from MWFF . I do hope at AC you'll swing by my table again and say Hi .

I'm especially thankful to  aheria  voodoowolf  dearc  kashikaoi For letting us room with them, they were so much fun to chill with and some of the nicest people you will ever meet! I'm definitely looking forward to hanging out with them again at AC.

I unfortunately took very few pictures thanks to the broken screen on my camera, but I'll post the few into my scraps. I'll of course post photos of all the commissions that I did there as well.

As for the commissions I need to finish from the artist alley, I've got 2 school projects that I'll be staying up late for the next 2 nights to complete. Then, after Wed I'll get right back to the commissions. I'll hopefully finish them all this weekend. You can find the status of them in the footer of all my journals. :)

Take care and I hope everyone from FCN got home safely!

Alrighty everyone, I'm out until Monday. Anyone going to FCN I hope to see you there.  iowncharles ,  firefeathers and I hope to snag a table so we'll be in the Artist alley. :)

If I'm able to get internet access at all this weekend, then I will check my mail for anyone trying to contact me. But if I cannot, do not expect a reply until Monday. Take care everyone! :D

These stickers will be printed on Label sticker sheets at approximately 3X4 inches (without the watermark of course) and I will use an exacto knife to carefully cut around the image.

Stickers cost $1.00 USD (not waterproof)

Laminated top stickers cost $2.00 USD (waterproof)

Buy any 5 stickers and you get one FREE! (of equal value)

All stickers can be made into magnets, they are $3.00 each


Shipping is free within the US, and 1$ everywhere else. Please drop me a note if you are interested. I will also be selling these at cons that i will be going to throughout the year.

You can get a FREE sticker sent to you when you buy a commission that is 25$ or more![/b]

Just as  iowncharles is selling her Zombie Fish sticker design to help toward the gulf spill I made a turtle sticker to help the same cause.

Stickers are $2.00 , $4.00 for laminated, and $6 for a magnet

Proceeds from this specific sticker are going to http://healthygulf.org to help out with the oil spill.

When purchased alone, half gets donated to the gulf, but when purchased with another sticker or commission, the full price gets donated to the gulf.

You can make donations yourself by visiting the link if you're interested. :)



Turtle: DONE!

Hy everyone!  iowncharles ,  firefeathers and I will be attending a few cons this year. Here is the list where you may find us attending/sitting around in the artist's alley accepting commissions:


(this list is mainly for if I'm going to be there. The others may be there even if i'm not. I'll update the 'maybe's' once I find out for sure if I will be attending or not.)

AnthroCon- June 24th -27th (most likely)

anyone else going to any of these? I'd love to say hey to you if so. :)

I am planning on making a set of cat stickers to sell at the cons i will be going to this year and well as on this site. They are going to be colored digitally either through illustrator or photoshop, have not decided yet if i want to cell shade or fully render them.

I'm curious if you prefer to buy medium/large stickers individually or a whole set of smaller stickers. I'll most likely offer both but I just want to get some feedback so I know what to print more of.

Also if anyone has a breed request you would like to see, feel free to make a shout out for one. so far my list is:

I know many of you my already know of this site, but just in case I thought I'd promote it a bit.

http://www.thedealersden.com is a relatively new online auction website that I encourage people to look into. Both  iowncharles and I have put up a few commission auctions over the past couple months. The site is still in it's beginning phase, so it needs more members and traffic. I really enjoy the layout and options available for submitting items, so definitely check it out and sign up if you feel interested. :)

Anything you want to know? :P

Hey everyone! Yesterday my spring semester classes began and I must say, I'm super excited to get started on the projects. I'm finally allowed to work digitally! :D So I'll have to post some of the projects here once i finish them.

I'd like to thank everyone who commissioned be during the holidays, it helped a lot since I didn't work during most of the break. I have a few more commissions to finish off before considering opening up a slot or 2. My hours at work were cut this semester so I may have more free time for commissions this semester.

How would you guys feel if I offered speed digital paint commissions? I'm not sure yet how much I'd charge, I'll have to do a few samples before deciding. I just want to know if anyone would be even interested in that option. Maybe I'll offer it as a special every once in a while at a discount price or something. I'd like to hear your thoughts. :)

Just so there are no problems: I referenced the menu off of  kalikafutago's since she has a very concrete and organized setup.

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Holiday!!!


In other news I'm working on updating my commission prices sheet and a work policies sheet for the new year to make things easier for everyone to find and understand. I hope to have it up by next week. Of course the holiday sale will still be going on up until Jan 5th! :)

So today is my last day at NIU this semester and then I have one more final next week for my other college that I go to. :) It'll be nice to have a break, this has been one rough semester for me. I will be opening commissions again for the winter season. I want to knock off a few of the ones I have in the queue already before I take any more.

I'm offering 25$ one character digital commissions like >> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3112581

and my holiday deals this time are 5$ icons and 15$ one character, flat color.

If you want first dibbs, you may note me now and I'll put you on the waiting list. Although, I will not officially open until the 18th. Hope everyone is doing well! :D

I met so many fun new people, had a great time doing commission's in the artist alley, and even boogied till the early AM at the dance party.  iowncharles wrote a humorous blog about the events that evening and included most of the pictures and videos she took throughout the day. http://danale.com/2009/11/midwest-f.....09-con-report/

I'd like to shout out to everyone I saw that it was a blast meeting you and hope to see you all again at future cons. I'd also like to thank everyone that stopped by my table and chatted, commissioned, and made compliments about my work. I appreciate every bit of it. :) Also, of the people who commissioned me, if you have a scanner/camera and would like to send me a picture/file of the image I did for you I'd be very appreciative since I totally forgot to take any pictures of them. ><'

Thanks again and I hope everyone will have a wonderful Thanksgiving! :D

Despite me busy schedule, I will still be going to MWFF this sat with  iowncharles and  firefeathers

We will be spending most of our time checking out the dealer's room and possibly snagging a table for a bit. So I may be offering cheap sketch and ink commissions there. I will also be bringing some old art work to sell.

Are any of you guys going? Is so I'd love to meet ya and say hi. :)

all my slots are filled up until Christmas break. :P

Hey all! Thought I'd update a little. Things are getting back to normal here, which is nice for once. :P Dana  iowncharles and I are going to MWFF this year for Sat. to check things out. We may end up getting a table next year then. If any of you are going to MWFF this year and want to meet up drop either Dana or me a note. :)

Also, now that it looks like my computer likes me again, I've been dieing to get back into digital work. ^^ So I am going to open one slot for one character with no/simple background for 20$ (usually 25$). Original size will be 9X7 inches at 300 DPI, which I will email to you upon completion.

You can have your character Halloween themed and wearing a costume or even xmas themed if you are thinking ahead. :) Note me if interested!

Payment through Paypal only at this time.

Sorry I've disappeared for a while. My friend had her wedding this past weekend and I was the maid of honor so I was completely busy between school work, helping her, and getting things ready....etc. I'll be finally getting back to the usual schedule which means back to working on commissions as well. :)

I want to finish a couple more of the outstanding commissions I have and then I'll open up 2 slots. I would like to get working on more digital pieces so I'm going to don 1 fully rendered character with no/limited background for 25$. If you are interested in this deal, note me and I will contact you first once I open up the slots again.

I will also create a new commissions info chart since the summer sale commissions are now all regular price.

Until then, I plan on uploading some school work just to get some fresh new pieces in the gallery. :)

Hey everyone!

I know I have been pretty scarce as of late. I have two reasons for this.... One is that this was my first week of classes, so getting use to the new schedule and all has left me little time to update. Two is that I caught yet another nasty bug on my computer and had to have it go into the shop again to get it fixed. *sigh* I hope it will be fixed by next week....

Other news is that I decided to drop one of my more time consuming classes since it might affect my Illustration projects, which will hurt me in the long run. So I have come to terms that I'll have to post pone my graduation even further onto the spring of 2011. *sigh again* I feel a bit better about this decision because it will give me more time to focus on my major work which is more important anyway. I also have been debating taking some business classes to help pump up my resume along with the web design classes I plan to take. I was just really looking forward to finally graduate next fall...I've been in school for soooooo long. Oh well...it's most likely for the better I guess...

So due to me dropping that class, I will be able to take a few more commissions here and there during the semester. Although at the moment, I have enough commission projects planned once I clear them out I'll open my status up again for a commission or 2.

After tomorrow that is...

Which means I have 2 free weeks until I start classes again. I'll be working on outstanding commissions and projects withing that time period.If you are on the waiting list or have not contacted me about your commission in a while, please contact me soon. After Aug. 23rd anyone on the waiting list or are in a "pending" status will be removed (unless you have contacted me on the side before and we worked out something).I'm sorry if this sounds mean, but I plan to have all out standing commissions finished during these 2 weeks. Any that are left over I will be working on during the first weeks of school when things are not as busy.

If you wish to commission me, now is the time. My next school semester is going to be really busy, and I'm already set up with some larger commission projects which I'll be working on and off throughout the semester. This means I most likely will not have commission slots open. If I do it will be either one or 2 slots or I'll have a 2$ sketch/speed paint deal. Either way, I'll be pretty busy, i just don't know how large my work load will be yet. ^^

Check here for summer sales which will end aug
23rd
