sorry i haven't posted anything in months.
my computer is still crap, so i can't do anything lately for 3D.
and because of that, my motivation for traditional work is so far below zero...

plus my life lately has just been pretty garbage /sigh

i'll try to get something posted soon.

i know i haven't been very active lately.
the motivation has been below dead.

but I just received something and all the fans of my lovely girls will like it very much i think :P
'hopefully' i will be able to post it in the next day or so. (just have to find the cord for my digital camera first)

i try not to complain too much, but i'm human, so i get depressed and feeling crappy like everyone else sometimes.

and right now everything seems to be shitting on me...
let me type out a list of why i feel like utter garbage right now.

you can stop reading if you want, some of it might get a little whiney. but those who know me a little better know I don't whine much, so to see something as big a as journal showing my feelings, something must be getting to me quite a bit.

1 so a few weeks back i got a slight increase in pay. yay, whoo hoo!
then.. immediately, the food stamp people decide to cut my benefits from $192 a month, to $30.
c'mon.. 30? that's practically pointless to even keep the food stamps going at that point.

2 haven't been able to log into my Patreon account for the past three days., so can't post anything there, can't look at the stuff posted by the people I support and can't really afford. Something is screwed up between them and Yahoo. every once in a while they send a 'verify this machine' email to make sure you are who you say you are... and well, those emails are never making it to my email. and my attempts to contact Patreon about it, I have no idea if they are even receiving any of my messages. It's frustrating me to no end, and depressing the hell out of me. Not that the 'income' from them helps me out very much, since having it for almost two years now, I'm still only making $4 a month (before fees).

3 ordered a couple small transformer toys from a guy in china. yay transformers. boo idiot guy...
i've had my ebay account for almost 16 years now, and it has had my current address in it for almost 9 of those. so when he looks at my address (2836)... he puts 238 on one of the boxes, and just the street name of the other, without any number at all. WTF
The local post office is trying to find them for me, since they were 'delivered' a week ago, according to ebay. When I try to talk to the guy i bought them from, all he does is resends me the tracking info... telling me they were delivered... no words, no apologies, no trying to help where they might have gone. like just slapping down a big "they got delivered!" would be enough. /cry

4 I haven't felt like doing art for a while now. I haven't drawn anything in a month, still need to finish about 6 more pictures for the looney tunes meets dr who, before i start the project i was going to start next. looney tunes in middle earth (close to 500 pics i was planning). but lately just been depressed when trying to work on 3D. My computer has been becoming more and more shit lately. so a picture that used to take an hour or so to render, now takes up to 5 hours, and has a 80+ percent chance of still failing...
and any picture that has 3 or more characters, and/or any decent type of background, that is pretty much sure to fail before I even start.

all of the Rel stuff Iv'e been posting lately I did over 8 months ago, the newer stuff iv'e been trying to make (chap 5) keeps failing when trying to render. Plus the story itself I wrote to go along with the pictures got lost, so everything iv'e been typing lately for her story is coming off the top of my head right then and there as i'm submitting it.

so between the computer issues and trying to figure out what the hell i'm doing with my pathetic life. (im 40 and living in a shit ass trailer behind a friends house cause i don't make enough to pay rent anywhere). That and only 2 people have commissioned me for any art at all in the past 2 years, though Iv'e had my prices on my front pages of my DA and FA and Patreon for ages. I guess my art just isn't good enough. Only one person has talked to me recently about doing anything for them. So I just haven't felt like doing art lately.

5 my GF lives about 3 hours away from me, so we don't get to see each other all the time, or very much at all lately :(.
because of me working Thurs-Sun, then helping my mom on Mondays. Added to her rotating weekly schedule. we haven't gotten to visit each other in almost three months now, and it's kind of driving me a bit batty. :(
right now I just want someone to hold in my arms, maybe cry on a little.

I didn't type this to be a whiney little baby, I had to get it off my chest though.
That's about it I guess, thanks for reading if you did. I'll just shut up now.

My home computer is becoming a pain in the ***
It's running slower and having trouble doing more than 1 thing at a time...
It's always been kind of slow, but lately it's becoming unbearable.

Not a single Render has come out decent (or at all) in the past 3 weeks.
Spots all over the place, half the render isn't finished when it says 'finished'.
Today I started a render before going to the shower. I come back to a blue screen error. :(
Started the render again as I left for work (at work now), so won't know if it works or not for another 9 hrs.

I can still post stuff for a while, Rel Chapter 4 still has another 62 pages that are already finished.
Rel Chapter 5 has it's first 39 pages done, but I might not start posting that one until the full chapter is complete.
Aya, which I started two weeks ago has up to page 34 complete.

The Mechs are where I keep getting stuck at, I only have another 4 pages done before I run out of completed pages for them. :(
Those are the renders that keep failing on me lately.

So... back to computer issues... I have no idea what I'm going to do about it. Having only 2 patrons thus far on Patreon: (my GF for $3 a month, and another person for $1), I can't even cover the $31 i support to other people each month without tossing money into the bank, heh. Let alone try to save up for getting a better machine.

I know my art isn't the best, in any medium, but some people like it and I enjoy doing it. I have had commissions open for a while now, but nobody has been interested. Plus my day job doesn't let me save much, (only make $60 a week before bills)

any ideas or suggestions, (or commissions), let me know.

yup, im getting old.
but still look like im in my 20s, and act like im 15 most of the time :D

if anyone feels like doing anything for my birthday, i won't stop you :P
like art of my characters or whatever.
but it's not necessary. :)

been running around this issue for a while, not really putting much effort into a price list or anything. :P
(plus not knowing how to do the commissions info tab here on FA)

Traditional art: starting at $5 for sketches, $10 and up for colored using colored pencils. Prices increase on difficulty.
examples:

Digital art: Still learning how to do digital. barely started using my tablet and don't really know what im doing yet, heh.
Starting at $10, depending on complexity.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21477914/ (done on a base)

3D artwork. Making a new character model would cost anywhere between $10-$25 depending on complexity. (no guarantee if I will be able to make your character or not.)
Pictures/scenes with models I already have would start at $10.

The good news:
My girlfriend sent me an early birthday present! (bd is on the 31st)
I gotted a drawing tablet now! Yay!

The bad news:
My computer is being a pile of crap, and won't let me install the drivers for the tablet. /sigh

As anyone who follows me can see, I have been doing a lot more 3D lately than I have traditional work.
Plus my income is almost nothing, barely anything past my normal bills. So I haven't been able to get art done of my characters or buy that many adopts recently.

My question here is, what would you guys like to see me do more of?

I will keep doing 3D from here on out, but what stuff do you want to see me try and do? More stories like the ones I have running for Rel and Vanessa, or more pin-ups like I'm doing with the beach girl, Noralee, and a few others?

Should I keep it as SFW as I can, so that I can post all of it to DA, or should I go for more NSFW things that can only be shown on my FA, Tumblr, and Patreon?
BTW, here's my Patreon link for those who haven't seen it, heh. https://www.patreon.com/Talyn2323

I also want to do commissions, either in 3D or traditional, so if anyone would like to have me do one for them, just send me a note. :)
Just starting out with that, so I will probably be pretty reasonable in prices.

Let me know what you think.

I now has a Patreon!

YAY!

Don't know if I'm good enough for people to actually give money too though, lol.
but here it is anyway.

how do you feel about people who do photoshopped work, or photomanipulation?
or, how do you feel about the work itself I guess.

Some work like this out there looks nice, but some just leave a lot to be desired...

some people work in taking photos from the media, or from porn, and alter them to fit their purposes. others take art from others and change them in other ways.
How do you feel about seeing the finished products?

If someone was to take a piece of art you had drawn, and altered it, how would you feel?
I'm sure some of you would be hurt, or insulted that someone would changed what you had worked so hard on. While others might feel it an honor that someone liked their work enough to add something onto it.

Where do you fit in this? I would like to know what people think here. :)
or maybe you yourself might be one of the people who do this type of work? how do you decide what to work on, or what to submit to the public or not on your art pages?

Thank you for reading this, and have a good day. :P

Looking at the recent past few weeks of my submissions. Does anyone think I should start trying to do commissions?
Either traditional artwork, or stuff done in 3D (Dazstudio)

I am willing to draw 'almost' anything traditionally, though my skill is still slowly moving along. But I am willing to try. :)

As for my 3D, i don't have all that many models yet, but I have a number of animal morphs I can use with the Victoria and Micheal bases. Will do renders with any items I have available, animal or human.

I have also done some 3D photomanipulating and wondering if any of that might be able to earn me something.
some are posted in my gallery already, and I have some 2D manips Iv'e done that I won't post unless I have the owner's permission.
