Sorry for the bad quality uploads of the traditional wip's T__T i have to take them on my phone at the moment and its not making them look brilliant at full size T__T i'll take better ones when I get my camera back.

The PC is in repairs and shouldn't take too long now so I shall be back to drawing on my Cintiq soon and getting to the art I owe people XD In the meantime be prepared to get spammed by a bunch of traditional things i've been working on in the meantime xD

so bleh... i've had no PC for a while now. I bought parts for a pc and put it all together myself so i wouldn't have as many issues as i have currently with using my stepdads pc to hook my Cintiq up to (since it's ancient). The PC i made is custom and can handle so much more. The only issue is as soon as it was put together we found some parts were faulty; my power supply is faulty (it turns on but wont restart and wont turn off on its own without me having to physically turn it off at the switch) also apparently the OS i bought from amazon was a dodgy copy and because of amazon TOS on software and such i can't return it if its been opened and put in a pc... *middle fingers up to amazon 'i trusted you'* So whilst i'm trying to sort that out i reverted back to my stepdads pc which i thought i would be able to use whilst he was on holiday to find that he sent his in for repairs and is still not back.
So for a while i have been PC-less and had to just sit staring at my cintiq which i can't use with no PC T__T

However, i have been doing more traditional stuff that i haven't been able to post online until now whilst i'm borrowing someones laptop briefly (still can't hook up my cintiq to a laptop because it requires a DVI port) But it means that while i've been doing traditional stuff i can now upload them here (since i can't directly from my mobile onto here). i have been doing a few traditional drawings and have also started making more models and am also stretching into the realm of custom jewellery xD which is availble on my new Etsy shop

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ZephyriimsArt

So I now have a RedBubble account XD trying to get myself out there a bit more an offer more things. So for those who don't know, Red Bubble is a website where artists no matter what level you are, can upload art and have it printed on tshirts, stickers mugs, bags, pillows, canvas etc I've had a few ideas lately for designs to go on tshirts and will be uploading them onto there soon.

I can also take commissions now for custom tshirt/hoodie designs that will be available for you to buy. Custom tshirt designs will be cheap as naturally you'd have to pay for the tshirt itself also.

My recent okami themed art will be uploaded there soon also for people to buy on tshirts etc.

Here is my red bubble page:
http://www.redbubble.com/people/zephyriim

Whilst there is no art up in there just yet there will be some posted withing the next couple of days.


Also regarding art I owe. The auction art I owe is well underway and the Kiribancfor prize is being discussed currently also :3 they should be up very soon. Things have been hectic lately with me buying parts to built my own PC and waiting for them all to arrive. Been moving house also, due to 'circumstances' so only had a bit of access to my tablet but mostly just own and paper lately. Digital art will be posted more regularly as soon as I'm fully moved and the new PC is up and running.

So be recently started using Instagram to post updates for any traditional art I do since FA doesn't allow mobile upload T__T if you have it and would like to see regular updates on my art I'd appreciate you following me there :3

http://instagram.com/zephyriim

It will be more interesting to those who like to see wips and see my art gradually grow and take shape XD Instagram for teh moment will just be for traditional stuff.

2 more watchers to go until my 500 watchers kiriban is reached :D The 500th watcher i will send a note to regarding their freebie :P

:pink furry: needs money and is selling some amazing characters of hers off to raise some! Please check her out!

So i'm back from my Hiatus and in the past week i've been doing all sorts to get my inspiration running again :3 i'm working on my first art doll so if this goes well and i can come up with a good pattern for it that will work for me over again i may start taking them as commissions though thats really far away right now.

I will be getting to the YCH aution art that i owe very soon and also any commissions i owe i will be doing very soon too :P

As far as the art dolls are concerned what i may be doing for practice is the best ones i may sell off on here to anyone that wants them. They will be randomly designed (probably just canines for now) not custom yet. They will all be relatively poseable though it may be quite limited for these first few practise ones XD

I haven't upoaded all the wip's for my current one i'm making because it will literally take me hours to do that. If you wanted to look through all the wips then you can find them all on my DA account here

There's going to be a minor Hiatus due to family circumstances which i can't go into detail much but it involves someone i was quite close to dying last week and the funeral is this thursday. Please give me a week or so to sort myself out after the funeral. no doubt i will be working on things anyway to take my mind of things but i wont be doing any hard work on commissions etc for about a week.

So lately I've been trying to think up more complicated and detailed backgrounds and how to do them ^__^' I'm going to start putting more effort into then so any suggestions on stuff I should try please comment XD I need the practice XD

Also new art owed:

Female auction - paid -  muttritsu
Irl commission - not paid yet - family pet no background
Commission - not paid yet -  micahsmaille

(Will update this later lol on way to work ATM XD)

Current YCH auction is closed due to autobuy. More auctions will be along soon!

Auctions and details here!

So i've finished my outstanding commissions that i'd owed for a while and now thinking i might do a YCH.
What kind of SFW poses would people be interested in? Going to put up a few anyway and see what interests people XD

Once again i'm so sorry they took me so long to get done and right now i only have 1 to finish off before i start taking commissions again. I will make sure to do a freebie for those i kept waiting for so long to say sorry T__T

500 is a pretty big milestone for me 'watcher wise' since i had been inactive so much of the time that i've actually been on here ^__^' The fact that people still want to watch my art is something i appreciate a lot :') The 500 watchers milestone for me is going to be one that says i've proved that i contribute art enough to FA and that i daresay people like it ^__^ it may not seem like a big number to those who are well past 500 watchers but the way i see it is that i'm halfway to 1000 and becoming a much more skilled and confident artist :3 Thankyou those who have watched me up until now and at 500 watchers there will be a kiriban and also a 500 watchers raffle where i will pick a few of my watchers at random for a free piece of art :3



So since I seem to have a lot of time on my hands at the moment i'm going to start taking my art a lot more seriously. So now I am setting up a list of terms and conditions to ensure that people know what they are getting into if they commission me from now on.

I've been thinking long and hard on these terms for a while now since i'm not very professional when taking on commissions and I fear it might be scaring people away (Especially since I got bogged down with commissions not too long ago) This new structure will hopefully give me an easier way to organize myself and hopefully give you guys a bit of relief that I am actually serious about creating art for you guys XD

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The terms listed below will let you know Contact Information, How to get a commission, where to find my price list/how to get a quote, FAQ, Payment options, Limitations, Rights and Refunds.

(Take into mind that every now and then these terms may change, mostly as i improve my art. Any changes made will be made clear)



----Contact Information:
Most effective means of contact starting from top to bottom

- Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Zephyriim
(This page is linked to my phone so any messages I get on there will come straight through to me and I will get a notification letting me know)

- Furaffinity: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/feral-alchemist/
(I check up on here quite regularly so in-boxing me will be seen fairly quickly)

- Deviantart: http://zephyriim.deviantart.com/
(Like on FA I check my DA very regularly if not daily, sending me a note will be seen quickly)

- Hotmail: zephyriim[at]hotmail.com
(This is a fairly new email account that is being used purely for commissions so mailing me here will get through to me eventually. I don't check it too often maybe twice a week.
- This email is not my paypal email as of yet. I plan to use it for paypal as soon as I finish setting up my commission bank account up)

----Getting a Quote:
Interested but not certain?

If you are interested in commissioning me but not totally certain with the decision then the best thing to do is note me. By noting me you can ask any questions that are not found in the FAQ's and also get a price quote if not sure about how payment/adding up/converting the currencies works.
When noting me please---
- Put 'Your Name' and 'Commission?' in the title
- Be as clear as you can when asking me questions etc (I will do my best to help you get the information you need)
- Send me a separate note after if you decide to commission me (details below)

Current prices located here ---> http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4875226/

----Getting a commission:
If you would like to commission me (providing i'm open for them) please follow the steps below.

Step 1 - Inbox me
(Please state 'Your Name' and 'Commission' in the title so I can tell apart peoples commissions from my regular message in my inbox)

Step 2 - State type of commission
(Please state the type of commission you would like and be as specific as you can. Please state if it is 'headshot' etc and 'shaded' and please give links to references. After that we can discuss exactly what you would like.)

Step 3 - Read the terms
(If you hadn't already please read the rest of these terms and comment at the bottom saying if you agree or not. Once you have agreed I can move on)

Step 4 - Payment
(Once the terms and details of the commission have been settled I will ask for full payment. The larger the commission the more lenient I may be with letting you deposit half and pay the rest when the commission has been started.)

Step 5 - Artwork
(Once payment has been received I can give you an approximate amount of time that it will take to be completed depending on how many commissions I owe and your place on my list. The commission will be uploaded as soon as it is completed and upon request I can send you the original file directly also via email.)

----FAQ:

A: I try to make commissions as accurate to customers wishes as possible. Any small mistakes I make will be corrected upon asking to a limited extent provided I am contacted as soon as possible.

Any mistakes made upon completion may be corrected as long as it is possible. More details listed further down under 'Rights'.

-- Q: "Can I upload it to my account or other websites?"

A: Lately I have been using 300ppi for images with a width of 8'' by 10'' or 8'' by 12'' but sizing my vary depending on the commission

So a while ago i started drawing a comic called Alleyways and so much stuff started to happen at once that i just lost it among other art. My style had changed and improved since i first started it and my backgrounds are starting to improve again too. Maybe thinking of redoing the first panels and picking it up again from where i left off. i have a lot to built on story-wise to make it seem a bit more 'solid' and like it had a main plot.

Any opinions? Until i get commissions finished no new pages will be uploaded and if i do decide to re-do it comissions and other art will be posted in-between pages. Pages probably wont be uploaded regularly to accomodate commission completion etc T__T i just think once again it'll be a good thing for e to hopefully keep up with and urge me to post art more at least in the form of a comic page xD

First page of the original comic start:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10123625/

So I'm holding the first art raffle in a while to hopefully get my page noticed a little more since things have slowed down after my inactivity ^__^'

So here are the rules:

1. Please create a journal advertising this raffle
2. Reply here with a link to your journal as proof
3. I will reply to your comment with your raffle number(s)
(The more you advertise this raffle with more proof the more numbers you will get)
4. The raffle will last two weeks in order for me to finish art I already owe
5. 3 numbers will be pulled out of a hat and I will announce and contact winners after the two weeks

Prizes:

Each winner will recieve a fully coloured and shaded piece of art with 1 character and a simple background

Raffle will end this time Wednesday 19th good luck :3

Kiriban for watcher number 500 and also for the 5000th page view.

If you get either please send me a screen shot as proof and I'll note you back on your prize :)

Prize for each will be a full body full colour of 1 character with simple background :)

Edit: haven't done an art raffle in a while so look for a journal soon explaining the rules for the next one :3

So my new tablet is widescreen and the main pc monitor is square. I'm really not used to calibrating stuff and how this works but obviously when i look to my monitor from the tablet, the otherwise alright image on the tablet looks squashed up on the square monitor. I don't know what kind of monitor the majority of people use so i have no idea how to compensate for square monitors. I'm just confused when there is probably an easy solution T__T help is really appreciated

So i finally got my new tablet. Decided on the Cintiq 22HD so now my workflow is going to be a lot faster as i wont be working till early hours of the morning purely because my old tablet refused to connect properly anymore. The Cintiq is brilliant and making me love art again now that it's not a chore xD so today i've started a few test pieces to get used to drawing naturally again rather than drawing on the desk but looking up at a screen. Give me an hour and i'm going to blast through these commissions i've been saving for this tablet so they are at the best standard they can possibly be. I'm so sorry for the wait but hopefully it will have been worth it once finished :) i'm hopefully going to be streaming the first commission i owe a bit later depending on if my computer is able to take it.

Apologies once again but i promise you it will have been worth the wait :)

So i'm looking to upgrade my tablet which i've had since my second year in highschool (it's now been nearly 2 years since i left T__T) It's an old Wacom Bamboo which when i first got was amazing and worked perfectly. Unfortunately over the years its gotten quite battered from taking it around with me everywhere and is very hard to get it to work properly now which is getting to be a massive chore.

I've been wanting to upgrade for a long time and now i have the means i want to make it a very big leap from the bare minimum tablet which it has become for me to something which will make me want to get so much better at my art.

I was thinking of making the leap to either the Cintiq 13HD or (more hopefully) the Cintiq 22HD. I've recently upgraded my computer and as a fresh start i want a new tablet to hopefully get me back into the swing of things again.

The 22HD is a lot of money for me but i want peoples opinions on both to help me choose. Anybody who has used or owned/owns either of these that can give me any good/bad points of either and their personal views on it will be greatly appreciated ^__^'
