Getting hospital bills in for when I went in for missing insulin. $5000. Thanks USA for your help in medical coverage. Working on getting insurance up here in MD now that I moved. Got leads on where to get my sonogram and mammogram. Going to be doing that this weekend or next week.

Still working on getting things settled for me and Dani but that’s moving along. We’re doing school work out of her book while we try to get her registered up here.

Using Data to write this so commissions are on hold and I’m going to update as I can. Drawing and sewing still.

So... it’s not lymphatic or mastitis. They still don’t know what it is but I have a prescription for a mammogram and a sonogram for when I get to my new place up north.

Gonna keep going. Gotta keep going. It doesn’t look or act like the big C but we can’t rule That out yet. 2% chance at best.

So...

Seeing how medicaid dropped me and i've not had income in a while, I'm going to need a bit of funding for getting seen. I'll be posting up art of BREASTS that focuses on BREASTS because thats what needs fixed now. All the ATCs will be up for grabs for $5 each or whatever you want to add gratuity wise over that.


I've gone through so much stress that this could be infected lymph node, this could be clogged duct, this could be benign tumor, this could be anything. More than likely its NOT CANCER.

Again, I have an appointment coming up on Wednesday and I will keep you all in the loop. Will have ATCs up soon for you all.

I'm moving back up north on Saturday and so I'd like to have some answers before I go...

Maybe i've been out of the game or a while, but I'm sitting here and not seeing much traditional art at all. I also have tons of people encouraging me to take my stuff digital. My digital art isn't anywhere NEAR as good as my traditional and seems to look a good bit different too.

I just like doing traditional art. I like coloured pencils and markers and getting dirty. I guess thats... weird? I dunno.

Maybe my prices are too high. Maybe I've not been back long enough.

Either way... We'll get this worked out. I'm hoping 2018 has something in it for me.

What does this get you?

ugh. So i need to get more practice apparently. I like using pencils but it doesn't have the clear smooth colours that markers do. I need to get my markers out, decided which colours need replacing and which need ordering, and buckle down on some sellable pieces.

I also want to figure out how to draw and colour on bigger than ATC sized papers. I love drawing small but if I'm going to keep it up I need to work on background and perspective and better poses. AND HANDS AND FEET ugh the bane of my existence.

I need to get better at art. I also need to get better at sewing.

I just need to get better at everything apparently.

Tomorrow I have a long ass ride up north with a 3 hour layover and then a week up there. I have a crapton of atcs cut out and I'm going to bring my inking pens and a 12 pack of coloured pencils.

Who's interested in having their character doodled? Drop your Ref's here.


REMEMBER:

I have 12 colours. Thats it. I'll do my best
I get to pick who i'm doodling.
Grautuity is appreciated (either through paypal ] https://www.paypal.me/pnjcorner [ )

Lets make this a Q&A journal. Go ahead. Ask me what you've been dying to know. What I've been up to the past two years. All that good stuff. I'll start you off here with a few things:


Divorced my husband (mutual) and now dating a great guy who's loving and supporting after two failed engagements and a shitty abusive relationship.

Dani will be 8 in February for those of you keeping track that wanna feel old.

I've lived in VA for 8 years now but theres talks of moving up to MD/PA next year sometime if funds and plans work out.

I'm doing a lot of sewing commissions. You can find my stuff at : https://www.facebook.com/Patches.An.....acksons.Corner

I love working with fleece now. My plush are getting better. I still do everything by hand.

I can still draw but I'm much slower with it. It won't be my main focus for a while, but if you really REALLY SUPER DUPER REALLY want art from me, lemme know in a PM and we'll work out details.

I'm not exactly the same person I was 2 years ago. A lot of it can be explained here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/25369527/

Ok. Shoot. What other questions are there? What are you dying to know? What are you asking for a friend?

Oh. I guess I'm back.

Should be posting art here soon. Not sure how soon. But soon enough. Might make a whole new account with everything going on.

A lot of changes have happened and I'll cover those in a bit. Feel free to ask questions so I know whats interesting to y'all to have answered (and I guess i could answer it in the comments, that would make sense wouldn't it?)

Either way. Fighting brain fog from post nap and week long head/chest/head and chest cold.


Doodling and sewing. Gotta get back to doing that.

I love your faces. Stay good.

I am going to practice drawing girls today, so lemme see your ref sheets! Only a few slots.


I need: Ref sheet and one word personality description. (i.e. Tough. Sissy. Nerdy. Child-like. Motherly. Playful. Spunky, etc)

If you want me to mail you the card, just lemme know. Also I take and gratuity!

Who's thinking of going this year? Who would like some art to be picked up there?

I have a chance of making it to FWA again this year and would love to see all my friends there. I'm offering $10 badges to be picked up at the con of headshot/busts of your character with your favorite colour! I can also mail them out before hand so you can wear them to other cons before hand.

All I need is your ref sheet, your favorite colour, and $10 sent to my paypal ( tangerinewillow at yahoo dot com )

Anything more we'll discuss what you can get, whether its multiple pictures, images mailed to you, etc.


We're trying to buy a new (or new to us) car this year and found a local one for sale. The price tag is $3,700 and I'm trying to help out my family. I'm doing a few commissions at a time, but will keep a queue of who is next.

She's a friend in real life and is working to improve her art skills. She does super cute art in my opinion and albeit a bit shy, she's very friendly! Go give her a shout, a watch, a like, whatever you feel like!

I'll be popping between here and with furry art and human/humanoid art

I dunno how back I am, or how much I'm going to delve into the furry community again, but I thought, eh, if I'm drawing, I might as well share it...

So next week I'll be at Nekocon in Hampton VA selling my plush and my bjd clothing I've made. I hope to make some trades and some new friends. I'm excited and scared as per any con prep but I actually feel like I've made quite a bit of progress on inventory. Anything that doesn't sell will be going up on my Etsy. Thats cool.

Thanksgiving is coming up as well, hoping to spend some time with family and friends up in PA. We'll see how that goes. I'm excited about that as well.


I have a NUMBER of ATCs that need to be mailed out and I'm sorry that I've been delaying that. I know i also have a number to finish for and for that I am also sorry.

I'm attempting to reboot my comic. Its coming along better than expected but theres still a lot of work to get done in the next month. I have the site that I'll be posting on set up pretty well. I have more work done on the comic than I expected, now its just finishing it up and tying loose ends. I can do this.


Now onto how I'm doing:

physically, I think I'm ok. I'm going to see a doctor here on the 29th. I'll be getting a whole new work up seeing that its another new doctor, thank you Navy, again. I've had chest pains and stuff but thats stress. I just need to relax more. I feel like I've been doing better. There are issues again with my reproductive hardware and I'm going to talk to them about a more permanent solution. When you can feel your ovary swell up like a golf ball, its time to see someone about it. Its an issue I've had since high school and anyone who knows me knows that was a damn long time ago.

emotionally and mentally I'm going through some serious stuff. Relationship stuff mostly, but it'll right itself out. Thats how things go. It may go in my favor, it may go in theirs, it may go some middle way, it may go down the tubes, but it WILL right itself out. I've lost a good bit of self confidence in myself because of it tho, as a person, as someone who can be in or hold a relationship. Some of you know my dating career really hasn't been the best. I'm intolerable and selfish a lot of the time and while I've been working on it, its still not where it should be.

I know that as a person I'm not bad. I'm not the worlds greatest mother but I think I'd still score pretty high on that. I have a happy healthy loveable three year old. For almost 30, I'm in pretty decent shape. I need a little more toning but thats ok, I can fix that if I stay motivated. I'm skilled in creating and sewing and have even picked up writing as a hobby. Theres a lot good about me. I just need to fix these flaws in me and learn to appreciate all that others give to me, that the world has to offer, and remember that there's beauty even in the darkest times.

Don't forget.

Beauty in all things.

So someone on AIM found me (name pops up ninetails, along with a pic of the Pokemon), messages me that they're sorry for adding me.

Their first message was an apology for adding me.

Odd right? I asked where they got my name. Apparently from FA. Funny, cause it's not listed. Asked why they messaged me instead of just deleting me. Their answer:
"Ok, truth is that me and my girlfriend Aurora Spencer are terrified of pregnant women"

What.
Anyone that knows me knows that I haven't been pregnant for a NUMBER of years.

"But if you want me to remove you then I shall,  I saw your post on forbiddenfeline pregnacy pic on FA"

Wha... And you didn't check the date?


Guys... This feels weird and wrong. Maybe I'm being a little paranoid but I blocked them and saved the messages. Even his profile said about "no one does want to talk to me, cause they hate me"

Anyone else know them? Maybe someone can explain these type of actions?

To promote being back I'm doing $2 full colour ATCs of your character. Examples are all over there on the  fLoRiDa page!


I need a great full body picture of your character with colour, as well as payment via paypal after I finish.
I'll be doing this through sunday. I'm doing five slots for now, and as I finish they'll open up again.
Let me know if you want your picture done in crayon, coloured pencil, or marker!

1.

When done I'll post them and if you PM me your address I can mail it to you!

if you have facebaak CLICK HEER!


I've been sketching up comics and intro to the new and characters. I've been reworking who's who and how involved they'll be. I did a little fan art for another comic already and I'm feeling good about this.

My life has been going through a lot of changes and some of you close and some of you not so close even know how hard its been and what I've been dealing with and fighting for. Things are honestly shaping up for me and even tho its been a 2 year hiatus, I now know how to make my own happy and this comic really is one of those things. It brings smiles to my face and to the face of others as well, which pleases me.

So... again... if you have facebaak, please click here to follow whats going on

And to follow us here on FA, click the icons above or below!

Want a new ID picture doodled up? Need a new badge? Im open to donations!

Here's how it works:
> Talk to me about a commission
> send me what you like/can in donations
> Send me your PICTURE OR REF of your ORIGINAL CHARACTER (no copyright characters) and ill draw something up for you.

$1-$4 cleaned up pencil sketch
$5-$9 inks and shading
$10-$14 full color
$15 and up we'll discuss more than one picture

I'm currently not open for trades or freebies. I need to fund a few things and I thought that a few bucks here and there would be easier than big chunks.

Reminder to Self: He’s not your Everything

You were you before you met him.
You were strong and can still be strong.
You are smart. That hasn’t changed, even if you have made a mistake or four.
You are loving and lovable, even with the feeling of emptiness.
Life will continue on even after he’s gone. Life always continues on.
You are still beautiful, desirable, and you’ll get your confidence back.
You are loved, and that is most important of all.

Life will find a way. Love will find its way as well.
Do not try and fill that hole with anything other than what belongs there. Do not force other loves, other wants, or other desperation This will not help you in the long run.
The hole will close. The body and soul and mind will heal.

I have confidence in you. I have trust that you will recover. <3

You are still you. Find out what that means first and grow from this.

---

Fill in gender roles as needed.

Remember that break ups can be one persons "fault" or both can be at "fault" but what is done is done, and you're just prolonging your pain by shoving "blame" on another person. Yes you hurt. Believe it or not, most of the time they hurt as well, even if they don't show it. Not ever time, but a good bit of the time. We all look back and say "what happened?" "where did it change?" "where did I go wrong?"

Break ups don't negate the good.
Break ups don't make you or the other person "bad"
Break ups hurt, but you can't let that hurt hold you back.

You're still breathing.
You're still alive.
Your heart is still beating, despite the pain in it.
You're still alive.
You still have friends and family that need you to be around, that support you.
You're still alive.
A part of you may have died, but its not your everything.
You're still alive.


You're still alive and someone still loves you, even if its not the way you're asking for, even if its not the person you're still looking at. Love will always be there, like a small ember, a soft glow in the darkness.

You are loved. Don't forget that, don't let the dark consume you.


That's enough for today. Be good to yourself.

Ok! Hai!

I still owe some of you things to mail out. I have to wait till paycheck hits so it all goes out Thursday. That goes for pins, atcs, and packages. You know who you are, I'm hoping you're not too worried.

Me? i'm going to be doped up for a while on delicious delicious pain meds. I need some oral surgery (oooh my leeeeeast favorite) next week and so February commissions will not be taken till I feel... normal. I'm already on some meds now for the pain cause... it got really bad. Blah blah one ER visit later along with other stuff, im well on my way to being healthy again. YAY HEALTHY!


YOU! Whos name is slipping me. I'll send you a PM. Your commissions WILL get done... but ... delayed cause of *waves hand* all that up there.


I love all of you guys that are my friends. And I love you too, random watcher! I see you there. You're all very very cool and boost my confidence. Now to do other things in the real world that aren't as fun as drawing. God my drawings are weird right now. So i've been sewing and knitting. MaAaAaAaybe working on new plush. Maybe.

Ok! Bai!

So, as per things I've set up for myself, I will no longer have a fursona. All of my characters are now off limits for art and for RP. They're basically dead to me. I am no longer anyone's sister or mother our auntie or other such title that isn't held in real life. I can be a friend, a good friend, or an acquaintence to you. Or I could be nothing, if thats what you feel for me.

This will not stop me from drawing. I will still draw furry art for those of you who request it via commission. I can no longer afford to do freebies or discounts. I will not be changing my prices until March, where I will look at what I have to work with rent/bill/life wise and consider it from there. If I can work it, there will be no change in prices. You will never pay more than $25 for a regular piece. That would be me grossly overcharging you for the little bit of colour I splash on a tiny card. I will not do that to you.




A lot has happened this year and January isn't even over. If I haven't talked to you about it yet, then I am not comfortable talking to you about it. Please do not press. I am not well, but I am working on being a better person for my self, my daughter, and for what little true friendships I have left. I have fucked a lot of things up and I risk losing it all.

And for that I am sorry. I am sorry to any of you that this hurts. I promise I will not do anything stupid that some of you may fear in the back of your minds. I am not that weak yet. And I made a promise to someone that I would not do that. So I will stick by that.


No longer Tangerine ,

Tabitha (or Tabi if you prefer)

Commission information as follows:

I use Bic, Sharpie, Prisma, ink, and gel pen to do my work. I generally work on smooth bristol ATCs (2.5" x 3.5" cards) Each card is sent in a protective sleeve, signed, and dated on the back. Occasionally there are other specials run for a very short time. Keep an eye out for them.

I have an incredibly hard time drawing from text, so a reference picture will be required. This can be a ref sheet or your favorite picture of your character. One character per card.

I do not draw anything above PG13. Occasionally I'll do nudes and cheesecake, or a little bit of nipple showing, but no full frontal or anything that registers as more than the MATURE setting.

I need payment after initial sketches are done. You have two opportunities to change the sketch, after that I finish the commission as agreed. Payment is accepted through paypal only currently.

TL;DR
I need:
Ref sheet or picture [NO TEXT]
Payment after sketch approval
G-PG13
Any questions and inquiry sent to my PM

Sketches [N/A]: I just don't do them. I'm sorry.
