So here I am thanking all of you for being so awesome and not running down my neck with nasty words.

I've had my thumb drive get corrupted, I'm loosing hours at work - I'm literally at twenty hours a week, and that can't pay the rent - I had a scare with one of my big cats (he's fine now, thank goodness) and the little one isn't doing so hot. We keep thinking that he may have fallen from somewhere and hurt his back, which was making him limp and not move at all in some cases, but we still think that it could be FIP... Which is very scary... He didn't look like he was going to make it for the first day... He was bloated, feverish and his apatite was constantly fluctuating... He's eating more now, stumbling around and sleeping out of the kennel we set up for him. I'll be getting a couple of pictures of him up after I post this so that you what he looked like when we got him versus about a week ago.

I'm loosing hours at my store and am currently looking for a second job because I can't take commissions on here right now, due to my lack of Photoshop again... I have a Mac and have been looking for a program that I can use in the mean time, but right now, I'm SOL. So THANK YOU for the people that have been waiting so long for their requests. T__T You guys are awesome. I'm going to get up some traditional pieces so you guys have SOMETHING to look at.

Thank you all again for your time, patience, efforts and love. <3

I'm not back to normal, but the anxiety is better now than before. So that's improvement in my book! :3 I've got a few sketches started and some personal stuff that I threw together to just some of the frustration out so I haven't been completely inactive. :D

Kitten is doing well! We're calling him Calvin/Freckle from Lackadaisy... This means we may keep him. His potential Dad told us he would understand if we did because of the circumstances that we've gone through with him, like pulling him from the trashcan and how he attacked Van's hand because he was so scared, how we brought him home, how our cats are getting attached to him and how he's on the raw diet with our big boys and is SO much healthier now... He's gotten so big so fast!! It's hard to keep up with him! <3

Artstuffwise, my commissions are still open and the requests should be done either this week or early next week. I'm off tomorrow so I can catch up with my artistic side.

Hey guys! just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive. :3

My anxiety has been getting to me lately and this has been making me feel under the weather a bit, so I wanted to update you all with a "yes" that I'm still alive. ^^

My commissions are still open!!

So yeah! I should be posting FoxPrince's tonight/this morning (depending on the time of my awakeness >.>;;) SO! Just keep an eye out, yeah? ;)

Thank you all again for your time, patience, effort and feedback!! <3 <3 <3

[EDIT]

So Van walked out of his store tonight with a six week old kitten in a trenta lid box saying that he found the kitten in a trashcan. Sense we have experience hand raising kittens, we're fostering him until April so he can go home with one of Van's partners (employees/baristas).

Needless to say, I couldn't get the sketch out tonight after trying to acclimate the new guy with the bathroom and our other two cats with the kitten in the bathroom. T_T Tonight was long. I'm going to bed. *falls over*

SO I still have ALL of my commission slots open. I haven't been able to raise any money yet, so any help would be awesome. T3T

I'm only persistent due to my lack of hours this week... If anyone knows a guy looking to commission, lemme know!!

Hey All!

SOOOoooo... Van and I are in a tight spot. :/ The long story short is that my hours at work have been cut because my stand-in-manager won't accept that I can only close. He is also a big fat jerk. >:/

I am willing to do some digital bust commission for $7. This is with shading, color and all the bells and whistles. I will still be offering free sketches. That's now traditional AND digital.

I will work on a couple busts tonight to get an example running, but if you ARE interested, let me know! Comment below! C:

Thank you so much for your time, patience and efforts guys!

1. Request Finished!

So I've gone through my first list for free art and am making a second one. ^O^ Whoo hoo!

There's a catch, though! You can now add color to your sketch and I would gladly oblige! But the color comes at a fee. :( Only because I'm tight on da munnies and I only have one set of markers, but what you would pay would go directly into your own art. Also if you DO decide you would like color, I'll give you a second sketch as well. :3 The color would only be $5. I'll be shading it as well.

If you decide you DON'T want color, that's fine! I take no offense! :3

If you would like your free arts, I will greatly appreciate if you would comment with a link to your desired fursona, a notice that it is colored or not and a prefered pose/action. ^w^ I will do the best I can with your request and will start work on it ASAYou post the comment.

Hey you!

Yeah! YOU!

I'm doing free artwork!!

FREE. ARTWORK.

I just want some practice, that's all. :3

I will have five sketch slots open so that I can get some practice out of my general comfort zone. Right now I'm going to post some more sketches of Aya and that would be an example of what I am offering! I just want some practice, that's all there is to it, but I also would like to get input from the requester as to gauge how well I am growing. I can do anthros, ferals, humans or whatever you ask of me.

I have five slots that will be open for this.

Thank you for your patronage, time, effort and feedback! :3

Hey all!

I have had a harsh realization:

dA is not a very easy place to get feedback. :/

So here I am and I like this community a lot more. :) Everyone here has been so kind and they actually have kind words (or words at all) for each other - whether they are popular or not.

But enough of that. I am trying to get more practice in so I can better myself. If anyone is interested, I will be doing free sketches to practice! :3 Please check out my commission info for more details.

I have five slots open for freebees, so anyone interested can comment or send a note or whichever fits your fancy. ^^

Figured I'd give this a shot!!

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5121430/

Two DA journals at once. I love you, so I want to save you guys time. :)

Hello guys! So I have my computer!! I now have an ACTUAL L key so writing won't be as much of a hassle anymore. This means more poems, journals, short stories and all around comments. Thank goodness! *dances*

As well as writing, my graphic side should be easier to use now that my new computer is a MacBook. *still dancing* I'll be able to take this computer back and fortieth with me everywhere and anywhere. School will be less of a problem and so will finding time to draw, do schoolwork and write music, that is when I get the software for it. :D

Art News: So I'll be able to get some more updated work up here and on FA as well (as said above). I've got sketches around for days, but I just never get them up *oh noes!* But only good things will come!

Music News: My music may be a little held back because I'm hoping that I'll get my software going soon (this really means I need to learn how to use it >.>;; ).

Thank you guys for your time, patience, effort and feedback!! :p

~Q~

Also, May the 4th be with you. :)

I've had too much caffeine today. Time for bed because the sun is still up. I'll feel like a cat-poop sandwich. *sick*

Art News: No sketchies today, too much Frappuccino-ness. *dead*

Music News: School is going well. Finishing my digital literacy class and I think my next class is a human behavioral study class. *hmm, shrugs* It'll be better than the one I'm taking now, that's for sure.

By the way guys, thank you all so much for your feed back recently! It's really nice to hear from you all and to get feed back on the things I post. :3 I like to grow from it. :D

As always and once again, thank you for your time, effort and feedback! It makes a difference!

Listening to: The fish tank.
Watching: The dogs look at me because its bedtime.
Playing: Assassin's Creed: Revolations
Drinking: Gyokuro tea.

So a lot has happened sense my last post. I have had a lot of "life happens" moments. I have started college and am now a student at Full Sail University! So in three years I will have my bachelors degree in The Scientology of Music Production. I'm glad to be going to school now. The catch to school, though, is that I now only get about four hours of sleep a night. T_T I open at Starbucks, come home, shower, get onto school, clean while I'm not on the computer and then go to bed. Mine and Van's love life has been on opposite sides of the globe, but we're working on it . I'm going to stop opening the store. I'll miss it, but darn.

Then it hit me.

Who said I can only sleep at night? No one. So I'm going to try to get sleep while the sun is up and just spend my other waking moments at night. Sounds reasonable to me! Why not try something new? I'll be able to draw again and to SLEEP again and to be with Van again and I'll be able to write music and stories, take walks and have energy! I miss energy...

I digress! But this is my plan and I'm sticking to it. At least for the next week or so. We'll see how it all works out in the end.

Music News: I've been looking into some projects, but I need to research how much a musician normally charges for a score (ie.: for a film or short film). Also: SCHOOL! :woot:

Art News: So many things that I have done and am ashamed to say have not made it here. I need to make a habit of posting something - at least SOMETHING - once a day to be more active here...

Once again, thank you for your time, patience, effort and feedback! = D

Oh my goodness, so much has happened and I'm hardy on anymore.

I have my coffee maser book! I'm on top of my game for work now! Finally. Though I am working like a shift supervisor and my manager promoted someone else whom has no backbone, ie: Issue? She asks ANOTHER shift to confront the barista. Bah, I don't want to get into that here. Here is a place for art.

Art News: I'm painting with India ink a lot. I've got some sketches down, but nothing I feel is... Scanable. I'll be getting it up here when I actually have a day off.

Music News: I have a new song! I've yet to get it onto SoundCloud, but when it goes up, I'll post here. I can't put my music up here because the files are too large. :(

I apologize about my absence, my work is making me exhausted. I come home, I sleep, I get up, I see Van, we go to sleep together. I'm an opener, he's a closer. asdfghjkfuckingkillmepleasemnbvcxz

And to sleep I go. So I can see Van with energy and real enthusiasm.

Thank you all for your kindness, patience, effort and support. I truly appreciate it with all of my heart. <3

I have returned!

If I do say so myself, I found that I really love to sketch in pen. I also missed playing my instruments.

I really learned some types of self control, like fighting impulses for certain foods that I know are bad for me and can hurt me. I really have learned that rice is very good with nearly everything and it actually tastes good!

I now have a few things that I am putting into my day to make myself more active. I now take two walks every day around my apartment complex, one in the evening and one at night. I also drink as much water as possible throughout the day. On some days, I will walk with a cup of tea in the morning. I've also started sketching a page a day. I will fill up the whole page with sketches to teach myself new techniques and habits to draw with. I also stretch, first thing in the morning, to start my day correctly to make myself become much less stiff and more limber throughout the day.

So here I am, internet. I'm back with a piece of mind that I have straightened out to make you look like a ninny!

Hey guys, I've gotta say this now so that way you'll all understand that I didn't die, go stagnant or drop off of the face of the earth.

STARTING OCTOBER 2ND I WILL NOT BE ONLINE. I will be doing some major self reflecting. I've come to terms with myself. I will be cutting a lot of stresses out of my time and life and will fast for the next twenty days. I need to relearn how to love myself, my hobbies, my animals and family around me. I have decided the best way to waver temptation is to block it out.

I will be starting a juice fast for the first three days and will continue on minimums. Van said he will do what he can to support me and to even try to do it with me. I need to fix my body, mind and spirit. I am broken and am in need of healing.

I have had a huge inspiration jump from `Exileden on DeviantART and, no, I may not live away from humans, greed and all such other nonsense, but I can define myself all the same around them. It makes for a larger challenge.

I SHOULD RETURN TO THE INTERNET ON OCTOBER TWENTY SEVENTH But again, I have to let myself become a person away from this world's objects.

Thank you all for your time, effort, patience and feedback! It is greatly appreciated! :D

Hi! I look like a lurker, but I really do draw and write music!

I Will be posting my works on here as soon as I get to an internet with no limit as to how much I view and load and nonsense.

In the meantime, I'll update my profile to tell you all a little more about myself.

Thank you for your time, patience, effort and feedback!
