So yeah, I'm just gonna say it. I dunno if anyone even cares, but xD my new account is

So if you want, go watch me there. This account isn't active anymore.

I was going to wait on this, but I figured it was a better time now than any.

Furaffinity has offered me a lot since I first joined it. It's made me feel more legitimate as an artist, I've met some awesome people, and I've discovered some amazing artists. But I kind of screwed that all up for myself by taking on more than I could manage, and now I feel people have lost their respect for me as an artist because of the wait I've made some people endure. Not only that, but there are reminders here that plague me. I am a person of guilt, I feel guilty for so many things in my life, many of which are likely needless. I'm not a happy person. In fact, within the past few months, I've been the unhappiest I've been in years. I think of my life as worthless, contemplate suicide but only really resist it because I know how it would harm my family. I'm dealing with baggage, and trauma, that no human being should have to face, and while many people are on my shoes, its something I've only just discovered. It hasn't helped that there has been so much drama in my life. With work, with school, with relationships. I thought I was in love, but because of how things deteriorated that person just looks at me like a monster now. Now, I'm pretty much confident that I'm incapable of relationships at this point in my life, I barely even know how to relate to people anymore. I feel like a stranger to myself, because I know so little about myself and remember so little about my past. I try to explain myself to people and just make things worse, and I'm so stupid that I keep putting myself into those situations. And now, today, to top it all off, I come home to find my gargoyle gecko dead, because apparently I'm incompetent in that regard as well.

Anyway, all of this is to say that I'm leaving this account. I love enraptured and all I've done here, but there's too many bad memories, too much dirt for me to make much use of it anymore. I'm dealing with too much in my head right now to let others rely on me, so I'm getting away from that identity. I'll be moving to a new account, but I'm not going to hand it out to anyone. I'll just keep a low profile, talk to friends and admire artists, maybe post some art from time to time. If you'd like to know my new account, you can note me, but otherwise I'm not going to advertise it.

To those I still owe artwork to, I'm not just running away from that responsibility. It will get done, I promise, and if you're sick of waiting, just note me and we can figure out a way to reimburse you. I'm currently jobless, but I'll figure something out. Its only fair.


So, goodbye.

What kind of contest do you like best? In terms of those you like to enter?

I'm interested in giving away a monoprice graphics tablet, possibly also a secondary prize, but I don't know what the contest itself would be for. So first of all, who would be interested in winning a tablet? I've heard great things about monoprice products, and I recently got their $20 headphones that are FANTASTIC, so I want to share this discovery with the world!

Here are the ideas that come to mind:
+ Design me a character
+ Draw my OC
+ Draw a partner/lover for my OC
+ Design your OWN character based on specific criteria (ie. certain word prompts)
+ Design me a logo

Other? Let me know what your ideas are!

If you're waiting on art from me and I haven't been in contact with you for the past week (ie. ravynarcadiavalos, foxdog2 and angelleifang ), please fill out the following sheet for me as a reminder. This doesn't mean I've forgotten you, but it will help me organize what I owe and get it out in order.

I have no excuse for how long I've taken on your guys' work. I could defend myself or insist other artists do the same thing all the time, but the fact is its unacceptable and unprofessional, so I apologize. Just know that I am working on things as quickly as my schedule and mind can take, and I will never take so much on at once in the future, that's a promise.

Here's the form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet.....emVKY0dJeEE6MQ

Once I receive your response, I will either note you for more information (if your form requires a response), or I will contact you when your work has been completed. Almost everything I owe is at least sketched! But this does not mean I will hesitate to reimburse, compensate, or otherwise accomodate anyone that wishes so.

Thanks guys ;u;

PS: My next contest won't be offering artwork xD lol

Just cause |D

Suddenly immersed in a bit of a money emergency, due to a family (or I guess future step-family) problem that I want to help with as best as I can. So, since I can't draw anything atm that isn't commission work or prizes, I'm selling some designs. Please no hard feelings if you made these designs, they're ones I've held onto because I really love them, but desperate times call for desperate measures. If you don't want me selling one just let me know, though I'd rather you buy it back from me than just demanding I have to keep it.

PS: To commissioners. I'm off the rest of the week. Doing what I can to get everyone's work done.

So, as you may have noticed, I haven't been very active lately. Between life issues and mind issues, I haven't had much energy, and I've put off doing anything personal until I finish what I owe people. But I also have this domain I paid for that's just sitting there collecting dust, since I currently lack the time and finances to use it for its intended purpose. So I got the little idea that I could give back to my watchers in a unique way.

I know a lot of people enjoy roleplaying, whether it be general and full of story, or adult and kinky. There aren't too many places where people can do that freely these days, and since my domain was just collecting dust, I scrapped up a forum for you all!

This forum allows private roleplaying and public/open roleplaying of any kind. But it's also a community where you're welcome to chat and hang out, even offer commissions to people you may not always have as an audience. If no one's interested I will just delete it, no harm no foul, but I hope I can give just a little something back to all of you who've stuck with me!

So check it out! It'll be fancier in a bit, but for now, its pretty basic. Just be sure to read the rules! (they aren't too long :P ) And spread the words to your friends~

http://faustden.wisterea.net/forum/index.php
http://faustden.wisterea.net/forum/index.php
http://faustden.wisterea.net/forum/index.php

Ps: No this does not mean I'm looking to rp smut with anyone. In fact, I'll just be taking a background/administrative role for the forum, since honestly, public forum roleplay hasn't appealed to me lately :P But I will be around to chat if you're interested!

Things aren't going so well at the moment. I'm struggling with things that I've been struggling with for as long as I can remember, and at the moment all I seem to be doing is hurting people and burdening the ones I love. So I'm gonna drop off the radar for a few days, at least until I can get some professional help.

You can note me or email me at samelize[at]gmail.com if you need to get in touch, or text me if you know my number, but don't expect to see me on messengers or around FA for a few days. People I owe work to, I'll be noting you confirmation sketches/finished pieces, and I'll do a bit of an art flood whenever I'm back.

In the mean time, thank you all for your patience and I'm sorry I haven't been the best artist to watch as of late :P

-Peace and love

Don't worry, its not what it sounds like xD I've been following this particularly wildcat reservation/rescue organization for a few years now, and finally decided to do what I could to help, now that I have a job. So tonight I adopted Newt, an adorable bobcat living at the facility!

I'm only making this journal to encourage others to do the same. It varies from $50-120+ a month, and you're always welcome to donate once, monthly, or once a year. I may offer a donation commission in the future, for someone to get art in exchange for a donation!

Anyway, here's the website: http://www.bigcat.org/
And Newt, my new adoptee! http://www.bigcat.org/animal/newt <3333

I'm gonna draw some pics of him at some point ;u; trying to crank shit ouuuut


On that note, been working on the TCBY comm for Ravyn all night! Hope to have the lines done tonight and color tomorrow. Also worked on Crobat's second prize, should be finishing up quite a few this week, since I don't work until Thursday. I'm sure of it this time x.x

Thanks for all the comments on my last journal quq I deleted it xD but you all really helped me during a rough day ;u; I appreciate it <3333 I don't normally post such emo journals, but I'm glad I did ;P You guys are awesome!!!!

But speaking of awesome, I'm pimping three peeps.
FJORTIS
My girlfriend, the love of my life, and an incredible artist! She's amazing at ferals and...non-ferals, so check her out! She's super cheap, tooooo (too cheap ;u; ). GO LOVE MY GIRLFRIEND AND BUY HER THINGS

SETHIE
AN AWESOME ARTIST, TEN TIMES BETTER THAN ME AT EVERYTHING AND SUPER CHEAP. He's got a sprained ankle and needs help paying for things while out of work. Go check out the epicness that has been unleashed over thurrrrr!

CANDYFIZZ
A good friend and an adorable artist ;u; She just got her first tablet and is selling some cute little adoptables! Check her out and offer her your encouragement! And buy her things BI

yup

So, as some of you know, I'm creating a pet site that I hope to launch in August. I'm looking for some artists to help with the development, since I've been looking around on VirtualPetList and there's only so many people there.

I'm looking for:
+ Item artist for fantasy-based items, digital, detailed and crisp
+ 1 NPC artwork
+ Half a dozen landscape drawings, not entirely sure yet on the amount.
+ CODERS! This isn't my priority at the moment, since I'm not looking to have that complicated a site and I'm more focused on getting the art done for it, but I'm going to need talented coders as well!

All payments would be completed after the work is complete, most likely after June 1st (that's when I'll be able to pay most people). I'm very flexible on prices! So feel free to ask. For items, probably $2-4 each, Human Avatar $10-$30 (plus possible alts), NPC art $20-$40, Landscapes $20-$50 (landscapes are so expensive! Hopefully I can afford more in the future qnq). And Coders I'd be willing to do on an hourly basis, just let me know!

Ummm other positions may open, possibly music or graphics, but those are really just for fun and won't be my priority. Also, anyone that would like to volunteer would be awesome :3 Just comment with samples or note me! Thank you~

Wisterea.net

I just have a few questions about these things, and it'd be greatly appreciated if a few people could take some time to answer them ;u; I'd love you forever!

So as some of you may know, I have a pet site in the works that I hope to launch in the summer, probably July or August. It's small compared to most, I'm not attempting something huge and idealistic, but it's going to focus a lot on roleplay and individuality. You can get a glimpse at it at http://wisterea.net ! 8D

I can't offer art or money for these questions, but if you do answer them, you'll have a chance to be a closed beta tester for Wisterea once we get to that point :3

SO THE QUESTIONS:

1. Do you prefer Forum-based or Private Messaging Roleplay?
2. Do you like to have the freedom of adult roleplay on a forum, or do you prefer a general rating for all boards?
3. How much customization do you want on a roleplay forum? Things like avatars, font colors, post colors, custom titles, etc.
4. Do you want to have one account for all characters, or a different account for each character?

5. Do you love to collect as many pets as possible, or just the select few that you like best or identify with?
6. Of the three, which do you enjoy customizing the best? Pets, human avatar, or items?
7. How important to you are things like games, battledomes, or exploring different terrains?
8. Do you ever invest real money when playing petsites? If so, what is your range in terms of prices?

9. How old are you? (can be approximate, like "teenager, adult, etc".

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to respond!

 fortunata is in a bind, at risk of losing her home or her cats if she doesn't come up with the housing deposit she needs, and she's taking on very affordable commissions to raise the money! Her art is incredible, I'm shocked that she doesn't have a million watchers already, so you should go check her out and commission her right away!

So I know I still owe some stuff to you guys, and one of those is a commission, and I feel terrible doing this, but I'm in need of some extra money. I recently got hired at a movie theater, but I haven't yet been added to the schedule, and I need some extra money until I get my first paycheck, which could be like two weeks from now x.x

I'm going to take a max of 5 slots, or just as many as I need to get $50. If I hit $50 before five slots are filled, I'll probably close them unless someone else orders something easy.

You can get:

Custom Character Design: $25
Comes with fullbody image, color pallet, little details, minor clothing and light shading. +$10 per additional fullbody form or outfit.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7485704/

Custom Adopt Lines: $15
I draw lines to your specifications that you can use to sell adopts, personal use, etc. +$5 for both gender versions
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7737483/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7731554/

Fullbody Sketch/flats: $10

LINK and LINK(NSFW) - $7

LINK- by beatcakes. $10 (HOLDING FOR SETHIE CAUSE HE'S SPESHUL)

LINK and LINK(NSFW) - $10

There's another I wanna sell but the artist has a no re-sell rule >3< May try contacting them.

I got one! Who else does? I'd love to see people's characters :3
Here's mine: http://charahub.com/user/1759

Still adding a lot/organizing things eue but I like the site a lot thus far.

I saw pockyz doing this, so I thought it was worth a shot. I have several old lines I don't use anymore, and figured I may or may not find someone else who could get better use out of them!

Upon purchasing these lines, they're 100% yours. You can use them for personal use, sell them as adoptables, edit the lines, trace the lines, whatever. You don't even have to credit me for the art when posting stuff. I will not use these lines, or in one case, the species, at any point after purchase is complete!

Male Base: $20
http://i.imgur.com/6IbIP.png
Fullbody, male reference base. Feet are erased to allow for easier edits into various other species. Good for reference sheets, adoptable auctions, etc.

Chibi Base: $10
http://i.imgur.com/UXGiH.png
A small, fullbody chibi base, good for quick adoptables or small references. Androgynous for male and female designs, easily modifiable.

Male/Female Species Base: SOLD
http://i.imgur.com/lIQDC.png
Male and female versions of a fluffy, angelic species I made up at random. A large base for intricate markings or easier edits.

Payments are relative, best offer is also acceptable!

So I had an idea, and I wanna see how people feel about it/what they'd pay for. Let me know about your opinion, or any suggestions you may have :3

Option A:
I upload a cluster of icons of original characters/designs. They're only headshots, but give a bit of detail into what the design looks like. You buy the design, and then I upload the full design sheet, including a full body image and possibly a back view. These would be $15-$30 each.

Option B:
I upload a cluster of icons of original characters/designs. They're only headshots, but give a bit of detail into what the design looks like (Yes, all the same so far xD). You buy the icon, and then from that you can either finish the design yourself, commission someone else to finish it for you, or leave it as is. This would obviously be a lot cheaper, $5-$10 each.

So, opinions? For the second option, I may also try and get a few artists for a partnership, where they offer cheap/discounted fullbody commissions for anyone who buys one of my icons, or something along those lines.

First off, my girl is doing a free art raffle, check it out! Link.

Also check out my design auction for Faust (a beloved oc I'm selling like a ho orz). I'm on my phone and don't feel like writing another link on my wrist lollll so check it out on my page quq

For those waiting on art from me, I'm making progress and thank you all for your patience! Dust mites are making life difficult for me orzzz bite marks errywhere ;n;

My buddy domon is trying to help her boyfriend out in a tight money bind, and she's offering $10-$15 commissions for sketches and creature designs. She's got really great work, so please take a look and spread the word!

Examples of her work:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6137873/

http://www.nabyn.com/art/shoisran-ref-wip-30988
http://www.nabyn.com/sketchbook.php?id=207 (dunno if non-members can see this, but her sketchbook on Nabyn!)

Help is greatly appreciated :3

I've got $1 in my bank account thanks to Amazon, so I'm selling a character of mine at a flat rate. He's very dear to my heart, so he's not cheap, but feel free to offer what you think is fair if you don't think my price is!

Selling him for $50, or best offer. Paypal only. Please have payment up front! Also, if you purchase and later choose to give him up, please give me the option of buying him back if I have the money!

I can give a few details on his character upon request, but leaving it to your judgement.

Fo' dis shite!

Since I took down my ToS for revamping a while back, I just thought about updating this for the hell of it xD I'm pretty lax when it comes to reposting my artwork, here are the details.

If you've purchased a commission or adoptable/design from me, you're welcome to upload it on your account or anywhere else so long as you credit me as the artist and link back to my page. I ask not to upload it on photobucket if your account is set to public, because then because can search and use them without crediting.

If you see my artwork on other random art galleries (like any of the chans, 3621, etc), it's fine so long as I'm tagged. If I'm not, either tag me or let me know. I don't mind the free publicity, I just want credit >u> If you see my art anywhere where its not being credited, please contact me! Don't take matters into your own hands, as that can just get messy and cause drama.

Aaand that's it xD Jus wanted to get that out there. Any questions about any of it at any point, feel free to ask :3
