Hey all, to anyone who actually reads journals of course. :)
I'll keep it brief.

Lately I've been feeling like I've been missing something. Something fun, and fantastic, and creative, and for 3 years I had cut myself off from a community of people because I believed I had to in order to "grow up". Now I'm older, happily married, and feeling like I"m missing something. I miss drawing. I miss scrolling through fantastic works of art by others in this community.

I'm going to be more active again. I'm going to draw again, and I do so with my video gaming friends here: https://www.twitch.tv/knightsoftheendtable

I'm excited to return here. Happy to see that some are still doing their art, and showing their creativity. And it just makes me want to join in on the fun again.
Love ya,
~<3 Fiory

Not now, but I think I will tomorrow. :) I'm unemployed at the moment unexpectedly (does anyone expect to be unemployed? 0.o? idk...) so I've had a lot of time on my hands lately after looking for jobs. I've been wanting to do a live stream for a little while, though when I do them, I feel like no one is there and I attribute it to me being A; a crappy artist, which could be true... or B; I give little to no notice that I'm gonna stream something.

Sooooo... If you would like to join me for a live stream, I'll be online at Noon tomorrow (PST) :) I am open for Pay what you want Commissions, and depending on what I'm feeling I may do traditional or digital work. Who freaking knows! X3

See you there!

Hey all! I have a Weasl Account. :3 Depending on how much I like Weasl in comparison to FA, I may update more on there then I do here. But we'll see! :) Anyway, if you'd like to follow me there, here's where to go!

https://www.weasyl.com/~fiory

Also, I'm on Picarto too! And I like to do streaming. :) I just moved into my new house with my husband, so it might be a little bit for me to set up my computer area in my office before I can do any more streams, but I will make a post both on FA and Weasl when I do. :) My Picarto Link is below! I enjoy the company and typically when I do streams I am open for requests or sketch commissions while on there. I mostly draw digitally but hopefully in the future I'll be able to afford a new tablet so I can do some digital work too. :)

Not like I think most people read journals, but I wanted to at least put something up to show I was still here. I've been slow coming back to doing art like things.. only because life gets in the way and I've been a little depressed lately...Either way, I'm starting to enjoy drawing again. For a while, it really hurt me to draw. I felt like I was going against myself the whole time, so I stopped.

I've decided I like drawing on streams too. So I'm going to plan on doing streams more often. I might even do a couple YCH or PWYW streams too. Why? Cause I feel like it. That's the biggest reason.

If you ever want to join me, the link is below. :) I'll always post it again in a quick way too to alert you when I go online. I hope to see you there. I do enjoy the company. :)

So I'm still alive and kicking. Working hard to get everything for the wedding finalized, which happens on September 3rd, 2015. I realize this is the first journal I've made in a year.....soooo yeah.. Most of my life last year? Yeah it went to wedding planning. I didn't draw or sketch or doodle or anything for a WHOLE YEAR.

Needless to say... I've been feeling much happier and smiley and relaxed now that I've begun drawing again. I've actually been dabbling in a little My Little Pony art (nothing Adult related...just can't really see much prospect in adult-ifying that genre...sorry..) and I'm slowly finishing Fiory as a MLP OC. X3 I'm actually really liking how it's turning out, so I've started doodling up Fiory's cousin/alter-ego/buddy/crazyness Bleu as a Pony too. Hopefully my new pens will get here today so I can finish them both and upload them tonight when I get home from work.

Oh that reminds me. As a birthday present to myself, I bought Spectrum Noir markers. About 6 of the 12 basic set. I plan on getting all 168 or so markers eventually over time. For those of you who don't know, Spectrum Noir markers are basically a cheaper version of Copics. I like them a lot, and they don't hurt my wallet too much (Copics are about 5$ per pen, where as Noir's are about 2$..). I'm not giving up on the whole learning how to do Photoshop/Digital art thing...but I really like the traditional medium right now, and I have for the longest time anyway....so it's nice to have something to color with that doesn't look like ballsacs. :P

Anyway, that's about it for right now. I hope everyone's good. Can't wait for a piece from  Razzy_Lee because I won her Patreon Weekly Raffle so she's gonna doodle something up for me. ^.^ <3 Can't wait for that! Yay!

Alright out. ;P

Firstly, I owe people an apology. I've been away from my life here on FA for way longer then I thought possible. Mostly because I nearly checked my FA on a constant basis, hoping beyond hope and praying beyond belief that I would get a comment, or a fave of some kind towards something that I drew and posted up here. It's not easy for me to draw something and then show it off. I get a small confidence boost, I'll admit, when I post something up here. And even if the comments are not flattering, it still helps me out more than you could possibly know.

So, the last journal I did, was in July of 2013, about 7 months ago. That was really, honestly, the last time I was on FA religiously. I had just gotten a new job that took up 40 hours of my week +driving and traffic time it took to get to work and back. Not complaining, it was a good job, until they fired me for calling in sick...once....<.<" But I can't really be mad about that whole thing. I was allowed to go on vacation during my 90 day probationary period (not like they could have stopped me. I had already paid for the trip to Disneyland with my boyfriend, Dizzy Fox) and I had, literally, the time of my life. It had been over 10 years since Dizz had been to Disneyland, and I hadn't been since at least 2007. I felt like a kid again, experiencing everything and just embracing the magic and wonder and joy that Disneyland always gave me. It's always felt like my home away from home, and it always feels like I'm saying goodbye to a dear dear friend that I rarely see anymore when I leave. Except this time, when I left, I left with a small ring on my left hand.

So here's the gushy part for those of you who don't want to read, you can skip it: :P

It was the day after my mother's birthday in August. Since we were in Disneyland, I had done this "Photo Scavenger Hunt" to find as many hidden Mickeys as I could. My mom Loves Mickey Mouse; It's the running joke in the family that Mickey is Mom's Not-So-Secret Boyfriend. So the idea was to post as many hidden Mickeys as we could find, while Dizz and I traveled around the park, and post them on Facebook where my mom could see them throughout the day. The 'story' being that the big Cheese himself had a surprise for us, and we were supposed to find him in the parks (I know, super cheesy, but my mom loved it. She even made a book about the whole thing that really brightened my day). When we finally did find Mickey on Main Street USA, we had him hold a banner that said "Happy Birthday!" while Dizz and I wore Mickey Mouse Party hats. It was corny, and dumb, but like I said, mom loved it. While we were doing this hunt for mom's boyfriend thing for her birthday, we kept getting our pictures taken by the photographers around Disneyland. We had decided that the Disney's Photo Pass was a great idea, so by the end of the day, we were pro's at knowing where to stand, where to look, what poses they would probably ask of us and where to go to get these pictures. So the next day, the day after mom's birthday, I wasn't at all surprised when Dizz wanted to get pictures with this Photo Pass that we had. We got a couple while we were on rides, a few in front of attractions, and so on. It was fun. I mentioned to him later in the day, that I had never seen the fireworks from in front of the Castle before (I had always watched Fantasmic off to the side of the castle at the River's of America area, and since I would have seen Fantasmic, it was near impossible to get all the way in front of the castle fast enough to get a good spot to view the fireworks from in front of the Castle....so I had always viewed them from where I had seated myself for Fantasmic) and since we were not going to see Fantasmic that evening (we saw it the night before, Dizz for the first time) I thought it'd be nice to get a spot early in front of the castle. Dizz agreed and we made our way over there. It was just before sunset when we finally got there, and he had this great idea to get our picture taken in front of the castle...again...cause we'd done it about 10 times before. So I said "Sure, why not" and went to the designated spot where the Photo Pass photographers want you to stand to take the pictures. He came over a moment later, after talking with the photographer and stood next to me...Facing me. Now, I knew the drill by now, so I was expecting him to turn towards the camera, so it was a little weird he was facing me, and making me face him...And then I started seeing this flashing to my side and the first thing, no joke, that went through my head was "Oh god...This guy is at the end of his shift...he just wants to go home...we're probably the last people he has to take pictures of...lets hurry and get something nice, cause I'm sure none of these pictures are going to turn out cause we're not looking at him"....So I ask Dizz "Hon,...what are you doing?" trying to smile and turn him a little, before he drops to one knee and says "What do you think I'm doing." I literally died. I swear I couldn't breathe and everything just kind of stopped. There are about a thousand pictures of me standing there with my jaw on the floor, my hands trying to cover it, before I finally lean forward and kiss him and say yes. In reality, I'm damn near passing out and have to grab him to stay standing. It's only after about 30 seconds of realizing that I just got proposed to, by my best friend of 7 years, when he turns to the crowd that I completely forgot was there and shouts "She Said Yes!" to which I nearly have a heart attack at the 5-700 people who have never met me, or Dizz, or know us at all, and they are all cheering and clapping. It was the most memorable and a little embarrassing thing to have ever happened to me. I found out later that he had been planning this for 3 years...as long as we had been planning this trip to Disneyland.


So after all of that, I had to find a new job to attempt to figure out a way to pay for this upcoming wedding that I was now going to have to think about. So my artwork, has taken to the back burner this entire time, because when I did finally get a new job, it's again a 40+ hour a week thing, and it keeps me very busy every day. I have 2 days off a week, which I guess is normal, but they are usually Monday and Wednesday, so I never feel like I get a "weekend" to relax. I'm also hosting an Ironclaw (a tabletop Role Playing game, similar to Dungeons and Dragons, if you didn't know) game with my friends that also takes up a lot of my time. So between family wanting to see the ring, and wanting details about the wedding that I'm planning as I go, work, game, and so on....FA has really been neglected. And for that I apologize.

I also feel like I owe a few people money, mostly because they've purchased something from me, and I was unable to deliver in a timely manner. These people know who they are, and I'll be messaging them later about arranging refunds. It was never my intention to ignore customers or not make good on my promises. I'm not that kind of person, and it bothers me a lot that that has happened. Believe it or not, I actually lose sleep over it, because it's something that I sincerely never wanted to happen at all. A sincere apology really isn't enough to make it right, so again, I'll be messaging the parties in question to set it right again.

With that.......On to 2014! I'm excited because my Fiance (still feels weird to call him that X3) and I are thinking that late September/Early October 2015 will be the time frame of when we can get married. Mostly due to finances; Weddings are expensive, and unfortunately, we just can't afford to get married in 2014 like a "normal" couple would ("Normal" meaning, getting married 6months to a year after being engaged....we have to wait 2 years..). I also want to dust off my sketchbooks again, and perhaps do a few livestreams while I'm at it. I miss drawing and I almost feel like I've ignored a friend by not doodling in my sketchbooks. So for those who care, that's what's up with me. ^.^ <3 I hope you all have had a wonderful new year and holiday, and I wish for nothing but the best for 2014 for you!

<3 Luv,
Fiory

Taken from  drakonicknight


1. Who are you?
My name is Carissa Gates, but a lot of people know me as Fiory (pronounced Fee-or-ee, in case you were wondering). No, I'm not related to Bill Gates, though I do have an Uncle Bill Gates who lives in California and smokes pot like it's air. I am 25 years old, and am in a relationship with one of my best friends, Christopher Mansur, also known as Dizzy Fox. We've been together nearly 6 years now.

2. What are the 3 most important things everyone should know about you?
I'm blonde, but not stupid. I enjoy a drama free environment. And if you fuck with me or fuck with my friends or family, I will send you to the hospital.

3. When you aren't doing memes like this one what are you doing?
Usually looking for work, drawing, painting now a days actually, working on role playing games, playing video games....normal life stuff. I don't do memes very often, this just looked like fun.

4. List your classes in school from the ones you like the most to the ones you like the least (or if you are out of school, think of the classes you did like and didn't like at the time).
Sheesh, I've been out of normal school for a long time now..lets see...My favorite classes were probably Art and Philosophy. Art because I love to draw and do anything artistic really, and Philosophy because it was way to easy to get an A in that class. I remember one of the questions on a test was "Prove that this chair does not exist" I literally put down "What chair?" and passed. XD

5. What is your biggest goal for this year?
My biggest goal for this year would probably get a new job to pay bills and such, and to lose a little weight...being fat sucks. :P

6. Where do you want to be in 5 years?
In five years? I hope that in 5 years I'll be married, and possibly moving into a new house with my husband. That's at least my hope. Whether or not he'll get off his lazy ass and actually do that, is an entirely different matter.

7. What stage of life are you in right now?
Stage of life? I guess....my mid twenties? I don't get the question....I know I'm on the wrong side of 25 now....but other then that...

8. Are you more child-like or childish?
Childish. Farting is still funny. Saying penis in a room still makes me giggle and blush. The "I'm rubber and your glue" comeback still works, and I still despise cleaning my room...even though I understand it seriously needs it. XP

9. What is the last thing you said out loud?
"They can stay, for now, but I swear to god, the door won't hit them fast enough on the ass if they dare try to steal anything out of this house or think they'll be allowed to smoke anywhere on the premises".....In regards to that, my roommate's mother and sister have to crash at the house for a while. Known thieves and pot smokers. The only reason they are allowed anywhere on the property is because my roommate, is also my landlord, and it's her family so....can't really say no..

10. What song comes closest to how you feel about your life right now?
Can't really think of one off the top of my head because currently this is stuck in my head (Thanks  drakonicknight for the post of it in an earlier journal...XD Didn't stop hearing it at PAX all weekend lol ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcLNteez3c4&feature=relmfu

11. Have you ever taken martial arts classes?
Nope. My old ex-boyfriend took Karate lessons...he was a black belt at one point if I remember correctly....well, yeah...I dumped him after he wanted to "practice" on me one night after a date. He had a black eye to match his belt.

12. Does your life tend to get better or worse or does it just stay the same?
Usually stays the same. I mean some days are worse then others but that's just life.

13. Does time really heal all wounds?
.....depends on the wound.

14. How do you handle a rainy day?
I stay inside, read a book, watch TV...I try to avoid going outside at all. I hate the rain.

15. Which is worse...losing your luggage or having to sort out tangled holiday lights?
Losing your luggage. Now your in a new place, possibly the start or the end of a vacation, and you've lost all your clothes, extra shoes, makeup, jewelry perhaps, hair products, all that jazz....that sucks.

16. How is (or was) your relationship with your parents?
It's rocky. My dad and I have always had a good relationship but my mom? Not so much.
My parents are still together, and my younger sister lives with them right now. When I was growing up, it was clear to me that my sister got away with everything. We'd have chores to do like the dishes or vacuuming, and I'd always get stuck doing the harder or longer chore, or mom would always step in to do my sister's chores for her. I would call her out on it regularly, but her excuse was always "Your sister is younger and can't do as much as you can, that's why." Drove me crazy when I was growing up. And caused a huge rift to form between my mom and I. It wouldn't be just chores either. My sister would get A's in her classes and I'd get B's. Mom would get mad at me for "not trying hard enough" and that if my sister could do it why couldn't I? and I'd throw her excuse back at her "Well My classes are harder then her's, so of course she'll do better in comparison!" My sister is 3 1/2 years younger then me, so when I was in High school, she was in elementary school and junior high. It hurt that my mom always saw me as a screw up, and I felt like I was constantly being compared to my little sister; and I'd never be good enough to win her pride. That's all I've ever wanted, is for her to be proud of me. My dad's always been proud of me. Always told me to live my own life and not give a fuck what others think of me. For the most part, I'm more like my dad then my mom, and I'm glad for that.
I moved out of my parents home when I was 20 years old, just barely 21, and haven't gone back. Since then, my relationship with my mom and I is getting better. Not as good as it could be, but it's getting better.

17. Do you tend to be aware of what is going on around you?
Most of the time I do. There are times when I'm an airhead and completely oblivious to what's going on, but it's few and far between.

18. What is the truest thing that you know?
Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted. :P

19. What did you want to be when you grew up?
A mom. I've always just wanted to be a mom when I grew up, and at first it was to show my own mother that I can be good at something, and that she didn't do a good job at being a mom to me like I will to my future kids. But now, I just like the idea of having kids, having a family that's mine, and taking care of that family.

20. Have you ever been given a second chance?
Yes, lots of second chances. In life mostly. Too many to really go into details for them. But I am a firm believer that everyone deserves a second chance, depending on the situation...

21. Are you more of a giver or a taker?
I try to be more of a giver then a taker. My philosophy? Money is Hard Come, Easy Go, and as long as it's going to someone who needs it, then it's even easier to let it go.

22. Do you make your decisions with an open heart/mind?
I try to keep an open mind about the decisions I make especially if those decisions will effect other people.

23. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you?
Gave myself a concussion. Not on purpose, but yeah. In high school I was on the swim team, one of their long distance swimmers on the Varsity team. I always swam the 500 yard freestyle, but on occasion I would also swim in the 200 yard relay race as the backstroke swimmer. Well, back stroke goes first in the relay, so I was first to leave the block in the race. Now, have you ever noticed those flags that run the width of the pool at your local swimming pool? Those are there for people doing backstroke, as a warning almost that the wall is close behind them and to get ready to either stop or turn. Well during practice those flags were set up about 10 feet from the wall, but for some reason during the actual meet, they were moved to about 6 feet from the wall. No one told me that, and it wasn't really noticeable from the water. So I went head first into the wall after my portion of the race was done because I thought I still had (essentially) 4 more feet before I needed my arm to go out and stop myself. I don't really remember what happened, because I hit the wall so hard on the head that I only remember flashes of what happened. I remember opening my eyes underwater,and the dull sound of whistles being blown and splashes, and then it kinda skips ahead to my coach in my face (still under water) dragging me to the surface. I was dazed out on the deck and that's the clearest I could remember. Coach was in her clothes, soaking wet, the team was all huddled around me on the concrete, and I just kinda mumbled "did we win?" before passing out. I woke up about an hour or so later in the hospital. My mom and dad were there, and were only too glad that I was ok. Head hurt like a bitch,but I was ok.

24. What is the most emotionally painful thing that has ever happened to you?
When my dog Lucky died. Still hurts to this day. My dog was literally the only thing that could pull me out of the depression I felt after my first dog Cinnamon died when I was 12. Cinnamon was my everything, she was my best friend, my shadow, and when she died I shut down. Started failing in school, wouldn't talk, wouldn't eat, barely slept. A friend of the family had to re-home Lucky because she was getting to be too big in their apartment, so we took her home. Mostly cause my dad saw me smile for the first time in months when I sat down and started petting Lucky as a puppy. He was convinced after that. Lucky died 2 years ago at 11 years old, and unlike Cinnamon, I got to be there when the nurse put her down. She had a tumor that erupted in her intestines. It was very painful, and it was slowly killing her. There was nothing we could do. I cried harder on that day then I think I ever have. And I blame myself even now, 2 years later, because I feel like it could have been prevented. I noticed little fatty lumps underneath Lucky's armpits years ago. Told my mother about them, said they should be removed. We had the tumor's looked at and the vet said they were benign, nothing to worry about and were obviously not causing Lucky any pain, and wouldn't be life threatening. I believed the vet, but I always felt like I should have persisted, got the money together, gotten those tumors removed. And there was my dog, my angel, dieing because I did nothing. I didn't want to, but I forced myself to watch her slip away, so that I would never forget, so that I could never forget, that her laying there, was My fault.

25. Who have you hugged today?
My roommates after doing this meme...started tearing up talking about my dog and yeah..

<5 -Anti-Sue
Your character may be a bit on the boring side. Of course, this does depend, but generally if they are scoring that low, it wouldn't hurt to 'spice them up' a bit ^^

6-15 -Balanced Character
If your OC scored around here, then they are probably quite a well-balanced and interesting character. Those scoring in the higher end of this category may be a bit too much though.

16-25 -Borderline Mary-Sue
We have a problem. You need to tone your character down. They are most likely a bit annoying to others, too.

I don't write very many journals here, mostly because I don't want to be the annoying person who makes a new journal each day or something, just so that people remember I'm still alive.

I'd like to start by apologizing for not being so active. I have a reason for it, and I'll get to it in a moment. For those who have commissioned me, this has affected you greatly because it has taken me away from my work for a long period of time. I apologize for the wait that you have had to endure during this time, and I thank you for your patience.

I'll start with about a month ago. My best friend, "Lance" (not his real name, and I'm keeping it that way under his request), informed the group of us (Me, my boyfriend Dizzy, and all our friends who go to Lance's home every week for what we call a "Raw party". It's not really a party, we just all get together, have dinner and watch WWE Raw on TV. It's something I've been apart of for at least the last 6 years.) that his mother was going into the hospital. Most of us thought nothing of it; with Lance's parents one of them went into the hospital at least every 3rd month or so or as often as every other month. We of course worried for her, but at that point, we all knew she'd be coming home in a day or two and eager to make dinner for another Raw party (She's been doing it for years, and try as we might, 90% of the time we can't persuade her otherwise to let us do the cooking for her. She's just that kind of Mom...)

After a month had passed, all of us began getting very concerned. Lance and his dad would bring back reports of "Her liver is failing" or "her sodium level is way too low." and the occasional "transplant surgery" was thrown around too. It was very clear that her just being sick was no longer what was going on and our Raw Party Mom was very Very ill. I'm not the best Christian woman, and I know that, but even I started praying for her quick recovery. We had literally canceled Raw Parties in her absence, and we all were missing her terribly and just wanted her to come home.

Last weekend Lance called a "family meeting". We're all so close, and we all see his mom as Our mom, it's appropriate to call us all family. I was beside myself with worry. Even left work early because I was so stressed to hear what was going on. On Monday of this last week, Lance informed the group that the doctors had told him and his father that there was nothing more they could do for her. 48 hours prior to that, Lance and his father had believed she was well enough to take home, that she was getting better. The doctors dashed that hope with fear of what they called the inevitable end. They were giving her 3 months left to live, and as little as 2 weeks if she didn't improve quickly. We were all devastated, no more then Lance was. I've never seen him cry before, and there he sat on my couch sobbing into his hands.

After that, Lance and his father decided to take Mom home. She would be more comfortable there anyway, and she would have a medical bed in the living room where she could watch TV and be near everyone, instead of cooped up at the hospital. That was Wednesday morning. I was at work, and received a text from Lance, a thank you for giving her a build-a-bear stuffed mouse for Christmas this last year. He said that it was the first time he had seen Mom smile in weeks, and I started crying up at work.

At 3am on Thursday, May 3rd, my Boyfriend Dizzy Fox's birthday, I received a call from Lance on my cell phone. None of us really got any sleep this week, and I had only laid down an hour or two prior to his call. The inevitable had happened. Mom was gone. The day seemed like a blur, Dizzy was beside himself with grief and regret, blaming himself because she died on his birthday. Lance was unusually calm, and so was his father; they had said their peace, and although were very sad, they knew she was in a better place.

We all came over that same morning, around 5 or so, and the medical bed was still there (mom had been taken by the funeral home), her mouse sitting against her pillow.

Right now, I'm finally done crying. I can talk about it without bursting into tears instantly. Of course yesterday I took the day off from work because of this, but I'll probably call today and ask if they would like me to come in on Saturday to make up for it. Life has to go on I guess.

I ask for any of you out there to please send a prayer Mom's way. She was a wonderful, caring person. She saw me and the rest of us as Family. Never forgot our birthdays, always had a gift for us for Christmas. We'd give her mother's day flowers and on occasion a gift on her birthday (July 4th). She was always welcoming of us into her home, and never thought ill of any of us; it was like she was incapable of being mean, bitter or even angry. She was a very sweet and loving woman, and a Mom none of our group including myself, will ever forget.

I'll be a cameo in Cosplay chess, but I hope to join a few panels to watch. ^.^

Do you do art commissions?
I do actually. I'll have my sketchbook with me throughout con, though it may be easier if you find me to just note me here. XP If you do happen to spot me doodling at con and flag me down for a commission, then I'll be happy to doodle one up for you right there (digital and colored works will probably have to be mailed out after con, so I'll get your info and everything when you see me)

Can I take pictures of you?
Of course you can, but please only while I'm in costume...I get a little camera shy if it's just me...:)

So I've been extremely lazy...it's me, not you...been super busy what with the holiday season, getting a job, being over worked at said job, and having about 10 hours in a week to myself...it's been a bit hectic. Thank God it's slowing down a little now. Hopefully I'll get those commissions done here within the next few days and get them sent out...I gotta find a box to put 'em in but other then that....x.x'''''''Thank you everyone for being so patient with me and not flooding my inbox with hate and disdain for my laziness and lack of presenting you with product...-.-

Either way, I decided to do a little bit of doodling, since I haven't picked up pen and paper in....3 months or so now...x.x' And I wanna go back to doing something I enjoy. I have pandora on listening to some musics that I enjoy but I don't know if you will be able to hear it. It's being wonky...anyway..follow the link below!

So just letting people know, I'm still open for Requests, Commissions and even trades. Just depends on how busy I get, depends on how many requests or trades I'll do. Below is a run down of my prices, including *blows trumpet....hehehe 'blows' XP* some Adult art! Wee!! I haven't done a lot of adult stuff, but I figure it's just another way to draw so I don't mind learning. Adult art will be more expensive since I figure if I'm willing to put in the extra time to look up how to draw it, you should be able to compensate for that. Don't worry, my prices are as always, on the inexpensive side. Any critique or comments on the subject are welcome as always. ^.^

So I got to go down to Rainfurrest today. I wish I could have stayed longer. Met up with  Kooza to give her her commission. Which, I love, I think it's Adorkable. :3 Then ran around in Bleu for a while. Got my picture taken a few times by random furs and at the photoshoot. Got to watch some musical chairs and some simon says fursuit games, briefly saw  Razzy_Lee and saw  CngDelta757 too and gave him his way over due gift badge, which I really hope he likes. Again, I think it's adorkable. :P

I really had a fun time. I seriously wish I could have stayed longer. Hopefully next year I'll get to stay the whole weekend like I did last year. I'm probably going to start saving up as soon as I get a job and have everyone paid back for next year. Even if I have to stay all by my lonesome, I'm going to Rainfurrest for the whole weekend cause I hate missing out on so much fun times!!! X.X If anyone else went, share! Tell me how it was and what ya'll did! :3

I'll be heading down early in the morning tomorrow. I'll only be around for tomorrow though, which sucks but it's something at least. I'm debating whether or not I should bring Bleu along with me...I'm leaning on bringing her. Just as a partial. Also to  CngDelta757 and  Kooza I'll try to be by the Dealer's Den sometime around 10am. I'm going to try and be around Rainfurrest sometime around 9am. Since I'm only going to be there one day, I'm going to make sure I'm there all day. ^.^ I hope to see people like  Razzy_Lee and  Tweeko suiting it up.

Hope to see you all tomorrow!!! :D

watch me doodle and be all tarded. :P lol

Just gonna be doodling, might take requests..dunno yet. :P

Ok, so  ino89777 is going through some hard times, (check her latest journal if you want details), and she's in such dire straights that she's willing to sell her Wicker fursuit to try and raise money. It's just aweful, so I want to donate my time to help her out as much as I can. I know I can't do much, but I can do drawings, badges, and the like.

So 5$ for a badge.

10$ for a Sketch.

All the Proceeds will go to Ino89777. The badge will be laminated and of whatever you'd like. Hopefully we can get a few other artists in on this to raise the money Ino needs!

Please spread the word! If you would like to donate money to Ino, please contact Ino herself with her contact information to find out where to send said monies.
