I have 5 blue sky codes now. if you want a code comment on this journal. ^^

Hey all just to give you a minor life update for me a lot stuff has happened in the past few months. 3 of those things were car related. My car was broken into twice in the past 2 months and my partner  artbyaxilotl had their catalytic converter stolen out of their car. So after all of that our savings has been a little bit sapped. We are both open for commissions and would love to do some work for you peeps. So if you have any questions about commission information just shoot me a note and I would be glad to do some art for you. Other then that things have been pretty okay. My birthday happened at the end of May, me and Axi went to Anthrohio for a day or two, and Axi has been streaming a lot on their twitch channel twitch.tv/lookitdatassby .

Commissions prices vary by client. For a base price single character flats for me are starting at $50
Obviously I do NSFW so those are totally fine with me.

I also have a ko-fi if you just wanna shoot some funds our way to help out

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Hopefully things will lead to brighter days.

Hey all, as you may have guessed, I am a huge fan of Super Sentai (the show the in costume fight footage and mech footage comes from for Power Rangers). I have been a fan for quite some time, so I have decided to make a group on Telegram for other people who also love Sentai too. All are welcome in the group, even if you're not into sentai and want to know more about it, the people in it are willing to help show you what they know to share something they love. Obviously basic rules for the group being to A. Not be a jerk and B. Keep things SFW, language can be up to PG-13-R, but keep NSFW posts off of the group, if the desire for a AD/ NSFW group arises then we can do that, but with those basics rules in mind, please stop by and say hey. We like to keep things light and have fun.

$10: early access just like the others, and every three months you get a free flat color full body picture as well as access to voting on polls for new content
$25: early access, voting on polls, a free flat color picture every three months, and a free full body sketch every month

Here is the link to my new patreon https://www.patreon.com/Espent if you have questions about it, feel free to let me know ^^

Hey all, just giving a little update. I just got back last night Motor City Fur Con last night, and I had a blast. Roomed with my friends  gravewalker  ryoku7  cloverhare  iko and got to spend time with them and also my always amazing girlfriend  lookitdatassby as well as  tomhowling and  galaxy-kat and many others.

Now since I am back I am going to be clearing up my commission queue and trying to get some more commissions in to save some money for a move I am having in a few months with  lookitdatassby and also I am excited to say I am also doing artwork for one of my regular conventions Anthrohio, so keep an eye out for that in the next month. Other then that been feeling pretty good and happy, I have great friends, an amazing and sweet girlfriend, and my life is going pretty awesome lately.

Keep your eyes peeled for some of my commissions I did at MCFC this weekend, I will be posting them here over the next few days

Hey there all, it has been a while since I put up a journal, so I figured I would update people on stuff going on with me

First of all, as for MFF, I unfortunately can't go, though I would love to come and see everyone there and hang with all the peeps there, it just not in the cards this year, gonna try for next year for sure, but I will more then likely be at MCFC again for 2019, so look forward to that

But as a consolation for me not going, I am going to try something different since everyone is going to the con, for the people not at the con, or even people at the con bored in their rooms, I am going to be streaming for (hopefully) all three nights of the con, so I guess it's a stream con then, so come those nights/evenings and come watch me draw and possibly be on mic to talk to the people in the stream and maybe take some sketch commissions as well those will be $20 for a sketch commission and I will try and get them all done in stream (additional $10 for additional characters up to 3 total)

As of now we have been living in our new digs for a few months and things are going well, the neighborhood is very nice and things seem rather chill here, so overall things have been going well, I even got to spend Thanksgiving with my roomies  gravewalker and  ryoku7 as well as my lovely girlfriend  lookitdatassby and I got to do the cooking, it was a lot of work, but the turkey turned out great ^^ Also good news as well, finally got a new car and cellphone as well, so my life lately has been feeling more complete and satisfying as well, since I have my proverbial ducks in a row, I can now focus more on my art, and I hope to be getting some merch ready for MCFC as well, more info on those as it comes up, but thanks to all my watchers both old and new for sticking by and giving me support even if it's just a fav or two on my new stuff, it all makes a difference

Love you all ^w^

Just a quick update on things for me, this weekend I am going to be attending Anthrohio up in Worthington Ohio and of course will be selling art, so if you're gonna be there, definitely hit me up for some commissions, the money is super appreciated as always, especially now that our move is getting closer and closer.

On a happier note, it's gonna be my birthday tomorrow, I am turning 33 which feels very old for some reason, but unfortunately won't have much time for festivities due to convention stuff, but I should still have a good day none the less.

As to all my new watchers, welcome and thank you so much for the support, I super appreciate it and hope I can keep making great art for you all in the future, thank you thank you so much, I cannot say it enough ^^

Hey there, long time since I have posted a journal, but I got a few new watchers here and there from going to MCFC this past weekend and I wanted to say thank you for watching, as well as a thank you for all who are watching me right now.
I plan on making regular art updates on here soonish to give more content since I am feeling a lot better about myself artistically lately and feel more motivated to get stuff on paper, I have been on fire lately and I think I can keep up this pace and give you all some great new content (including older stuff not posted yet that I have made better with new techniques)
Now onto the more heavy stuff, the day I got back from the convention, so I guess that would be yesterday, I found out two very big things, one is that my hours are getting cut at work, which means for free time for art things, and the other being that me and  Ryoku7 and  gravewalker who I am living with have to move out of our place by the 9th of June, so lots of packing and picking up to do, but it shouldn't be too bad, and the nice thing is that we have options for it, but it just came as a bit of a shock, so that being said....
COMMISSIONS ARE FULLY OPEN needing to get some extra money to help pay for the move and get new furniture and all that good stuff, so please don't be shy, this cat needs all the help he can get in this situation, so any and all help is welcome to say the least, anyways just wanna say thanks again to my watchers, my friends and my friend family (they know who they are X3) for being a huge support over the years.

Doing lots of working lately, unfortunately not so much on art due to full-time job, but I sneak it in here and there, other then that I don't have much going on other then going to MCFC in April with a few of my friends :userboundtohappen: :userdarkfoxx03000: which should be a lot of fun, and I'm gonna try and do the artist alley there too, so keep an eye out, more details revealed the closer I get to the con.

If you're interested in a commission though, send me a note and we can work stuff out, I'm going to try my best to be more active on here and get to know more people and grow as an artist. That is my goal for 2017 ^^

So my car's fuel pump is going bad and I am in need of some money to help get it fixed up, so I have commissions most definitely open to help sway some, if not all of the cost of it, prices are as always the same, but if anyone can share this journal and link it in the comments it would be much appreciated

Hey there, it's been a while since I've put anything on this site, but I wanted to let everyone know I should be making more regular updates on here. I have a lot more free time on my hands since now I am unemployed. Yes, I have recently lost my job so now I'm kind of strap for cash, so if you wanna commission me, feel free to as much as you want. Although this has happened to me, I'm not too broken up or anything. To be quite honest, the job was a bit of a hassle. I now have some time to really discover myself as well as focus on my other artistic passions, specifically doing voice acting as well as videos for a new youtube channel I'll be doing with some help from my roomies and a few friends. if you wanna check it out and support it. The site is http://www.youtube.com/user/ThatSmirkingCat I should be putting up new vids on it by the end of the week, so keep an eye out, and as far as the voice acting thing goes, I'm going to be putting together a demo reel this week too. I will be seeking VA work on Voice Acting Allegiance, but if anyone here has any leads I would love to hear about them. Keep your ears and eyes open for new stuff coming from me very though, once I practice a bit more with my digital work I would love to do some streaming sometime soon to. =3

Please some commission love to this lovely lady http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5085071/ she has some awesome work and is in the need to make some money, so please help her out :3

I figured I clear my last journal since I haven't updated my journal status in a long time and give kind of a general update on how my life has been going lately. For those of you people who have not known I'm actually no longer with my wife, we are actually split up since January, the paperwork part of it was recently filed the past month but we weren't living together since January, but we're not together or at each other's throats or anything, we're okay, not talking all the time or anything like that, but you know how things go :/ it was kind of hard to post this information to the world I've been telling close friends and family and coworkers and such but you know posting it on FA seems kinda like the final telling of the tale, I'm pretty much completely back to my normal self actually, I actually kind of feel better after everything has happened and has been settled
But in general I've been a little bit bummed out about stuff, but you know I have a lot of good friends (  jackiemoo  omegagoji  kreziheyzi just to name a few) taking care of me, and I know this stuff going on with me it's been tough on them too, I want to definitely apologize to them and thank them so much for being there.
Also I was at Morphicon this year but I was in the dealers room rather than the Artist Alley this year, I made a little bit of money, but it's okay if I didn't make a ton I'm still trying to get my name out there as an artist, I was actually sitting with  kattywampus
And coming up next week is my birthday, I'll be turning 28 this year so couple more years and I'll be 30 :< once you get past 21 birthdays are kind of boring and kind of bum you out lol at least that's how it is with me X3
But that's pretty much all that's going on with me hopefully I'll be posting art more regularly since I have new roommates that are trying to get me motivated to get more work done which is what I really needed XP

Well, I'm going to FCN this year with some good friends  JackieMoo,  Omegagoji, and  KreziHeyzi I also will be offering preorders for badges for the con as well, I have some sketch examples here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10172799/ as well as a couple of examples for the molecule badges here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10172563/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10172526/ hopefully I can make a few extra bucks before the con, but we shall see, btw I will have more examples of badges as I complete some more samples, so keep your eyes peeled =3

This very talented friend of mine needs to get some commissions to help pay a bill of her's, she is doing these really cute icons for Valentines Day/ Single Awareness Day please go check her out, you will not be disappointed =3

Well apparently the new Thundercats cartoon is gettin the boot, and that is so awful, this show is really well written has great character development, and has beautiful art direction to boot.

http://www.change.org/petitions/war.....another-season

Please sign this petition to keep a great show alive, and not only that, but to show that good shows like this need to spread and become more common, not just mindless crap like most children's TV shows, kids need something epic to see, to broaden their imaginations and to help their intelligence grow and be nurtured. This show is something that has been lacking as of late on TV the only other show I can really think of like this would be The Legend of Korra (also an awesome show).

So tl;dr please sign this petition X3
