Okay everyone, I'm still alive. I had a bit of a depressive relapse over the course of the last few weeks, so I've been kind of out-of-commission. Sorry for kinda going MIA there. I've mostly recovered, so here I am. Pretty much everything I was doing is overdue at this point, so it's time to hustle.

So here's the order of business:

1. Commissions:

Commissions are currently first priority, and I'll be completing those ASAP. I'll be pushing to have all of this done within the next two weeks. I'll still accept commissions in the meantime, but I'm not working on anything new until I complete the art I've been keeping people waiting on.

2. Free Icons:

To those waiting for Free Icons, I'm going to start grinding those out again as soon as I can. I can't say how quickly I'll be able to do that, but rest assured that they WILL be along. I may end up ultimately scaling back the raffle, but I'm definitely still doing it.

3. Requests:

I'll get to these when I can, which will hopefully be relatively soon.

4. Interactive Comics:

Starting in a week or two, I'm going to start running interactive comics from another account. Update rate will be slower than I'd like since I can't take too much time away from everything else to do this, not without getting paid for it anyway. I'll be running a patreon with this, and if I can get some funding for it, I'll be able to update more often.

I'll be announcing more details on that a little later.

Well, that's enough chit-chat for now. I've got work to do.

---

I'm not quite doing this yet, since I still have to complete all of then icons that were queued for the main promotion, but I'm opening preregistration here to get the ball rolling on this.

Drop a comment and on this journal and you'll be added to the list for the raffle when it opens. This will likely open around the point I finish the icons for the last one.

Alright, so I've run an icon giveaway which was quite successful in terms of netting me exposure and getting people cute icons. I'll probably run another like that in the future, but I can't do that all the time lest I draw nothing but Free Icons until the end of time.

In the meantime I don't want to stop completely, so here's what I'll do: When someone places a comment on this journal, I'll plug them into a numbered list.

I'll pull four random numbers a every Sunday, which will correspond to a person on the numbered list. If your number is picked, I will notify you that your Free Icon will be produced that week. In addition, I'll hand-pick a single icon. I will not disclose which of the five I'm doing is the hand-picked one.

I'll then plug all of them into the slots below, and they'll be completed by the following Sunday.

I'd prefer that the icon is linked back to me in either a profile, a gallery repost of the icon, or a journal, but it is not explicitly REQUIRED for this one since that'd be against FA's asinine promotion policies. I would however STRONGLY REQUEST that I get a linkback, since I need the exposure.

Ground rules so far:
- One character per icon
- One icon per person
- Icons are shoulders-up only
- No double-dipping: If I drew you an Icon for another promotion, you're exempted from this one

Example icons:

- Falco: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16562246/
- Fox: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16562270/
- Miyu: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16562305/
- Fay: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16562305/

NOTE: Although this promotion is closed for new requests, you can still apply for the weekly raffle I'll be running in a few weeks. You can find it here.

Alright, here's how this is gonna work: I'll make a free icon for anybody who asks, but on the condition that the icon is linked back to me in either a profile, a gallery repost of the icon (preferable since it shows off my art), or a journal. Just drop a comment, and I'll make the icon once I've gotten to your spot in a queue.

I think this will be mutually beneficial, since it'll net a bunch of people some nice icons, and I get a bunch of exposure, and hopefully at least a few commissions.

Ground rules so far:

- One character per icon
- Once again, one icon per person
- Icons are shoulders-up only

If you want anything outside that, contact me for a commission. If it's in association with this promotion I'll provide a discount of some sort.

Example icons:

- Falco: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16562246/
- Fox: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16562270/
- Miyu: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16562305/
- Fay: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16562305/

NOTE: Since the queue has gotten so long, if you're asking for an icon right now it might be a week or two before I get to you, but rest assured that I will.

Yet again, please try to remember to LINK once you get the icon.

You can find my pricing info here: http://www.furaffinity.net/commissi.....onicmentalist/

I work fast and my prices are cheap, so there's little to lose in giving me a shot!

Not taking new requests at the moment. Will reopen with a slightly different format once slots are clear.

I'll take as long as a feel like on these, I can take on whatever approach or level of completion I wish, and I can opt out at any time, for any reason. Drop a comment here or send me a note to request.

If you want a guarantee, and some level of creative control, please go get a commission. Seriously, if you can afford it, please at least consider getting one before requesting. I need to eat. My prices are pretty cheap.

Most of these will probably be simple sketches, unless I really like the drawing enough to upgrade it on my own. I'll notify you if I do that.

I do offer upgrades, though, so you can commission things like colors, shades and backgrounds at a discount if you should wish to do so.

If you really like your drawing, please repost it with a link to my account. I'm doing this in hopes of drumming up interest in commissions, and the exposure might help me attract an interested party.
