Yep, in 15 days (April 16th), I'll be turning 25.

I feel old DX

So, I'd hate to do this again but the project will ONCE AGAIN, have to be postponed. This time idk for how long due to some financial issues that have come up.

You see, I've been trying to save up for a car ever since my scooter was stolen. Things were going well, so I was gonna start up the project again.

Then I woke up this morning........

To my folks asking me for money.......

It was $200, but then it became $350........

Now I've been screwed of saving for a car.........

Because of this, I'll most likely be opening commissions again to regain what moiney I just lost due to my folks stupidity of not managing their own god damn money!!!

I'm so pissed and irritated right now.......

So yeah.....project is again on hold and probably gonna open commissions again.......what fun.....

I dont see the point of it now. It was worth a shot to open it, but it's not going anywhere. So money will be refunded to those who did donate to it.

So instead, if you wanna donate, just send directly to my paypal dragonmaster616[at]yahoo.com

It may not seem like much to many, but to me it means a lot.

I check my YouTube channel this morning to find 258 subscribers.

So, to celebrate reaching this goal, I'm doing a Question and Answer video.

So ask away any questions you have (no lewd questions please), and it may answer it in the video!

Next goal, 500 subs!

So, I'm most likely gonna be doing these for a while so I can raise funds.

$10 Linearts will be offered at the streams or just $5 sketches of your choice. The streams will also be SFW, so no NSFW at this time.

Idk when the first stream will be, but I'll make a journal when it's ready.

Okay so, just in case anyone couldn't do one or the other, I'll post my paypal as well. So you can donate to the GoFundMe or directly to my PayPal

Yeah. So, my scooter got stolen and now I'm needing a car to replace it ASAP.

Yes it was reported to police, so all i can do is wait, but I NEED new vehicle.

If you can donate anything at all to help, I will be ETERNALLY grateful~

So, I teased this a few months back but postponed it for the time being. Well, things have settled down enough to where I can start back on it. So, towards the end of the month, I will reveal what this project is. So stay tuned!

A bill was introduced to Congress to stop ISP's and the FCC from
removing Net Neutrality!

Spread the word! Let people know that the internet has a chance to stay open, free, and away from being fast/slow laned!

I honestly did not expect the contest to be this short XD

But yeah, someone has found the secrets, I'll post them what they were during the weekend

Hey all. This is something I wanted to do for fun.

But to get the details, gotta go to my latest speed draw video!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voDCROEYpIU

So, after some thought I have decided to postpone the project announcement until the video announcement is ready which will be sometime this month, with Nov 1st being the official upload day.

I still cant say what it is just yet.

Unfortunately, something really important has come up. So all plans and announcements have been stopped for the time being.

I MAY have to do Emergency Commissions if it can't be resolved quickly

In 2 weeks...

Things will be announced...

Stay tuned!

I have some things planned that are coming soon.

I just cant reveal them just yet.

So sit tight. More info will come soon.

Hey all.

Just a reminder that I have a YouTube channel!!

It would mean a lot to me if you could check it out!

I do lets plays, speed draws, and coming soon, animation!!

So stop on by and have a look! Like and comment on what you liked and what you'd like to see me draw or play!!

Also subscribe if you wanna see more stuff from me in the future and share here, on Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook!

Thanks a lot!

If I was able to make custom built phone charging stations/displays, would anyone be interested in one? I already have a prototype built of the regular crate from Crash Bandicoot, and have many other planned. They would be made out of wood and painted as close as possible to their respective colors.

I'd like to see if anyone would be interest in one if I was to go through with this.

Thanks!

Edit: I've just been informed by my friend  aurati~draetlan that he may be in a bit of trouble. His apartment is having an inspection and that he may be evicted or force him to get rid of his pet kitten named "Buddy" since the current landlord doesn't like pets. He doesn't want to lose his cute pet kitten, and if he does get evicted, he needs money to move into a pet friendly complex.

If you can donate to him to help him in case he does, please don't hesitate to ask him how you can help.

So, its been a few days and I've come to a decision. To reduce my current workload, to those I owe multiple pieces, I will refund the money when I have it, so that there will be only one piece that I owe you. Also, I've decided to drop the final two raffle prize pics that I owed and will make them gift arts instead. Also, to people that have been waiting a while for a piece from me weither it be a commission or trade, I will be making similar pec bouncing icons to my test one, as a thanks for waiting so patiently.

Next up, as a reminder, I do have a YouTube channel. I do Lets Plays and Speed Draw videos. I'm trying to regularly upload on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Lastly, I do have a Twitter. But its for my YouTube channel so no NSFW stuff please. I would deeply appreciate that if you like my videos, comment/like/share it to others or even subscribe to my channel. I'm currently working on a new banner and icon for my YouTube and Twitter accounts. So check the accounts out when you have a chance. It would mean a lot to me.

That's all for now!

Now, before you all start panicking, let me explain.

I haven't been inspired much to draw....pretty much anything....

Mainly cause I have so many works that I owe people that I just cant keep my motivation up enough to work on them.... its stressful, and every time I open the file I see how little progress I've made to complete it AND just makes me close the program so I don't look at my own shame....

I'm a sad excuse for an artist that owes so much and cant even get a simple thing done..... ranging from a simple commission to a gift art....... or an art trade......

I try, and try, and try.......but it never seems good enough......

to the point that i just wanna refund everybody that took a commission from me. I don't deserve something I'm not working for or on....

I don't wanna seem like a moocher to anyone....needing money, promising a commission, and never deliver.....

I don't wanna be like that..... I HATE getting money I didn't deserve......

So to clear my head on what to do, I'm gonna back off for a few days to get my thoughts straight on what action to take. If I do refund people, it wouldn't be right away since I'm currently unemployed and looking for work, possibly even a little extra to people who have been waiting a long time for something from me.

I don't wanna have a bad reputation over this. Being an artist, getting commissioned and just leaving like some artists have done. I wanna own up to what I have done wrong, which has been making people wait for works from me when I really should have no excuse for it.

So yeah, I'm gonna step away or a while to gather my thoughts on what to do. I just hope I'll be forgiven.....

And given a second chance when the time is right....

So yeah, I've been home for about a week now, trying to get things settled. Looking for a job, trying to find time to do arts since I don't have my own room again, but I'll manage somehow.

Just a quick update journal for you all so you don't worry.

Yeah. That's right. After over a year of living here in Wisconsin, I have decided to move back home. For multiple reasons. 1. I'm not ready to be living so far away from my family. 2.Planning trips is a lot more difficult when you dont get much free time from work. And most importantly 3. My health. Ever since March my health wasnt doing too great from panic attacks to anxiety attacks. They have only been getting worse and worse as time went on. Yes the meds help, but only so often.

So in the end, I decided to move back home. Sometime this week or next week will be my final days of being in Wisconsin. I deeply appriciate the guys who brought me out here in the first place, and maybe one day soon I will come back out here.

And that's all the pics I've had stowed away for now.

I got several pics that were either gifted to me, or I got commissioned That I'm gonna post today.

As the title says.

I turn 24 today.

So, as of late, I've been getting asked about my dragoness character Kira. Like who is she, where did she come from, etc. Well, I think I should shed some light on who she is.

Kira is my first official dragoness OC.

Now, I know some of my deviantart watchers will say to me "But Drader, I thought Nina was your first official dragoness OC?"

Well that's the thins. Kira WAS Nina. At the time, Nina was just a concept of what I was thinking for having as an official dragoness OC. Kira is the refinement and finalization of what I wanted her to look like.

Now, I don't have a picture of what Nina looked like because also at the time, she was just a character between me and  dragon99 at the time before I started to branch her out more so that more people knew about her.

Nina had a a Light blue and a regular blue color scheme, long silver hair, purple eyes, a decent sized bust, no ears of any kind and no horns. That's how I thought her up.

Over time her design changed to what you see now. The color scheme is reversed just the colors a bit brighter, she has short silver hair, blue eyes, a big bust, ears and horns that point upward.

And I'm proud of how she is now.

As for whats she does and all, well, I'll be trying to make a ref of her soon to explain that heh.

But yeah, this was just to give you all an insight of who she is.
