It's sad that I have to leave an account that is almost old enough to vote.

But after what I survived, fuck.... I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I'm lucky to be alive. I hope he gets what he deserves. I will not be checking this account anymore, please don't comment here head to my new account :theburdbard: if you would like to support me. I'm finally taking the chance to try making art my career like I always dreamed.

'For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps, warm.
Waiting for you after the smoke clears.
Although, for one of you.
The darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole.
So, don't keep the Devil waiting, old friend.'

Busy dragon. Bigger update soon. So sorry for ghosting

I know right? Its been a while since I've been on FA. College and work started to take a big chunk of my time. But now, I'm trying to get back into art and such. Anyone still here?

Heyas. I've been on FA here for a while, and I wanted to know, what does everyone like/dislike about my artwork?

Mainly, I want to know the following.. (Bear in mind, you may get something out of this!)

1. What do you like about my artwork?

2. What do you dislike?

3. What species would you like me to draw more of?

4. What special interests would you like me to draw more of? (i.e. vore, inflation, etc.)

5. What Rule 34 stuffs would you like me to do?

6. Any specific themes?

Basically, I'm asking to get bombarded with ideas! If you could point others to this journal, it would be greatly appreciated! Also, I think I will make some specific ideas come to life if I like them enough! If I get enough responses, that is. :)

Participation is appreciated, as is signal boosting. Thanks, my lovelies!

Enrolled in college for Industrial technology. Still working full time. Alive, but tired. 80 hour weeks suck, and I thought 60 hour weeks sucked.

Wow, five months since my last journal entry?

I'm still here, just super busy with life. Promise good things in the works!

How is everyone doing?

Needed to see the doc again after my first surgery for some alterations in care and some extra work. Feeling kinda crappy but should be back on my hindpaws soon.
Good news is doc knows for sure there is no cancer!

 stormgryphon owes me so much White Castle!

<3 you all

On the 22nd I went into the hospital for outpatient surgery. Everything went according to plan, and I am in recovery now, and will be until March. This means once I am able to hunch over my computer in a day or two, I will be able to start drawing with no full time job to get in the way, yay on that!

Sorry I've been quiet, but the health issues I've been going through were damn near crippling, and I am glad I have gotten them taken care of. Thanks to my mate for the support he has given me through this, and thanks to you as well as I get better!

I cant wait to start drawing!!! :):):)

Guh. Holiday season has been KICKING MY ASS! >.<

Hope you all are having a wonderful time, and I am still slugging along on my commission queue. Thanks for all the support and understanding from you guys! I gotta update some outdated information soon!

Journal update this time, my lovelies. As you can see from my footer, progress is being made, when it can be. I'm trying to devote as much of my free time as I can to art, and the sad thing is, I have very little of it. For the past month, I left for work at 1pm, and did not come home until 2am. Couple that with working Satuday, STARTING at 6am.

However, I did manage to do some sketching, lining, and shading in the mean time, and to the two projects I have not started on yet, please remember, I did not forget about you, nor do I forget about my obligations. As an artist, I understand I am in customer service, and with the resources I have, I try to provide the best service I can. This is why you read these journals, see the notes in your inboxes, and get emails on status progress and checkpoints.

Hopefully, (and I hate to say this for my wallet's sake) overtime will be dying out soon, and I can get back to a 40 hour workweek with the typical 10 hour commute time added in. That I've got no problem drawing with, and this week is looking up for more spare time for yours truly.

Thank you for your patience and I love you all.

Decided to do an update on my FA, so everyone is on the same page.

Art progress is slow due to me being at work about 60+ hours a week, including transit times. I am lucky to get about two hours to do anything before I go to work, but I am putting as much time as I can into the art, and I am hoping to get everyone's pieces out as quickly as I can.

Thanks everyone!

On a side note: My hatchday is this Friday! I'll be turning 24 then! Woooo!

In a very short time, I watched another 500 or so people. Its on my to do list to go through everyone's gallery, so I can check out all these great artists!

TLDR version goes up now.

Ill do an Ask me Anything journal, so hit me with your best shot!

Shading done on orgy pic, will be coloring next.

A lot has been going on with life, and I wanted my followers and commissioners to know what has been going on. I'll try to avoid making this sound as 'woe as me' and focus moreso on the facts. I am still just as intent on doing art as I ever have been, if not even more so.

First off, I have been dealing with several serious medical issues of which I am currently under treatment for by my doctor. These issues have been eating up most of my freetime the past few weeks and have temporarily affected my quality of life. I am optimistic that the medical treatment is working and that I should be back to my old self soon.

The good news in my life is I am still employed full time, but that also cuts into my free time for drawing. I am working on the issue I have of leaving over 2 hours before my shift starts simply TO get to work by looking for a place to live closer to work. Once I move I expect my free time to increase exponentially.

College is something I am still looking to do, but I have no idea when and where that will pull into the equation.

There are a few other stressors in my life that have cropped up, but I am dealing with them without having a meltdown, so that is good. In any case, I have no intention of stopping drawing, and I will work on my commissions at every available opportunity, please bear with me as I fight my way through these little obstacles called life. I am grateful for all of you that watch me, and I haven't forgotten about any of you! I do have a lot of ideas that I want to draw, which I am every bit as excited to share with you!

Thanks all!

Switched to a 1 pixel brush for lineart for increased detail, but that meant I had to reqork some. Orgy Pic is probably at 75% or more lineart completion and my primary focus.

 willpie commission is at 30% lineart completion. Still working guys, have no fear!

Health problems still present, but am working around them and are neither serious nor life threatening. Just pain. >.< *goes back to drawing*

Never did this on FA, so let's try this! Ask me Anything!

Its been a while, just wanted to let everyone know I'm still alive. Busy at work, and going through some minor health issues, but plodding on nonetheless.

I've got everything running at a smooth 100% now computer-wise, and both the orgy commission and the reference sheet I am doing are still being worked on.

I want to make sure I do these pictures RIGHT, and I do not want to rush out a subpar piece, so thank you for bearing with me as I aim for as close to perfection my talents can give me.

Lineart ststarts the 24th.

Its been about two weeks, and I think I will give a small update on how my projects have been doing.

 raveraptor Commission: Shading - Ready for Color: 75% done overall

 willpie Reference Sheet: Sketching - 10% done overall

Dragon Orgy: 11 characters sketched.

Will probably delete this journal when I am ready to update again.

Smaller news first:

1. I got a Weasyl. Yay! Go watch me there or something. https://www.weasyl.com/profile/dresil Slowly in the process of porting over my submissions.

2.  stormgryphon and I got a PS3. Also Yay. Comments on recommendations for games would be appreciated.

3. Info about the orgy commission: Since I cannot easily send over 20 people a copy of the sketch, lineart, and final product like I usually do, Instead I will post the WIP files here, keep them in my gallery for 5 days, letting any who wish to comment about changes can. Afterwards, I will proceed as there are no issues and continue onward.

Just quickly moving the previous journal away. Will post all the info about orgy and other stuff tomorrow.

Well, Iron Artist is wrapping up, and now I'm going to begin the life of my new computer with a big bang, literally!

I'm going to do a dragons/dragon hybrids only massive orgy picture, and as they go, the more the merrier!

This will be a full color and full shaded picture with full background for a buy in of $20 a character.

How to pay: Comment on this journal, and I will add you to a running list of entered folks.  baralheia has offered to handle the funds of this picture, as he is the originating commissioner, or I can send you an invoice, and will change the status on the list from ENTERED to PAID.

The signup deadline I will be setting is December 15, 2012, and payment deadline will be December 17.

If you have questions, please feel free to ask, and please, pimp this journal out! The bigger we can make this, the better!

PS: Please link any character references in comments too!
