Finally we've gotten our modem replacement. Now that we have that line out I'm able to stream again and be online and all that jazz. With that said I'll be doing a PWYW Stream tomorrow as a warmup for future streaming.

So you might have noticed I've been online a lot less over the last couple weeks. There's a good reason for that. My modem's still out and the one they sent was the wrong kind as well. So we're stuck waiting ONCE AGAIN for a correct replacement and HOPEFULLY Reimbursement since we paid for last month's internet just a day or so before losing the modem to their technical difficulties with a surge in our area that damaged the modem.

I have been using some local borrowed WiFi in the mean time for browsing, uploading arts and checking messages. However, Skype seems to struggle at working at all so I've momentarily moved over to Discord which seems to work just fine. I haven't lost ALL internet yet considering I can still manage commission work and upload art here once in a while.

Don't worry I'm not dead or in hiding or anything. Just more and more technical difficulties. I've been doing pretty good actually aside that. If you'd like my Discord to add me and chat you're more than welcome to ask in notes.

I also would like to note I'm going to be doing some Halloween YCHs with a upcoming sale/discount on any halloween themed commissions. So if you're looking for them I'll be lowering my standard prices by a bit on anything particularly spooky so do feel free to inquire about that.

So due to a recent mishap on our Internet Provider's fault something happened which made our modem pretty much die. I'm using local wifi that barely reaches to our place that disconnects quite a lot. And likely going to be without a consistent internet connection for at LEAST a week.
That said I'm unable to stream which was my main of getting commissions which has put a bit of a damper on my finances. I would like to state where I cannot STREAM commissions I am still offering those $5 sketch busts for anyone interested, solely for the fact I'm in a bit of a bind financially and still need to get commission work done somehow to cover regular things I can't quite go without, (bi-monthly medication/prescription costs and bills mainly) .
If needed even I am fine with doing WIPs being shot back and forth or you can give me a reference and general description on what you'd like drawn and I can work with that if you prefer a surprise.

Normally I don't go out of my way posting i'm in a bad financial spot but without means of streaming to make that as easily as I usually do I'm kind of low on options.

Pardon this wall of text i'm a bit anxious and don't know what I'm going to be doing about things in the mean time.

I apologize to any commissioners I've left waiting or just watches curious where I've been. I've been making a good recovery from my recent hand injury, give or take things aren't healing as fast as I'd like and drawing is still a bit difficult. Making a fist alone is honestly which makes me a bit sad because as someone who's used to drawing a lot or at least daily/a couple times a day, this has left me with some major artist's withdrawal and I'm going nuts.

Expect more art aside commission work. I have so many Halloween Ideas for characters and commissions I wanna do and I'm just exploding with ideas. I'm also going to allow watches to give some suggestions and feedback on something I've been wanting to do.

I want to draw my characters in Halloween themed getups but with costumes YOU, the ones watching/following me help me decide on. I'll draw any of my characters with no restrictions on which ones. I just want ideas on what they should wear as their Halloween costumes. So comment below some suggestions like "Violet in a Witch Costume." or "Sapphire as a Pirate" or "Milky as a Sexy Nurse" or something like that. :D

I've been in a bit of a low-mood the last week. I had injured my hand, cutting it making drawing a bit difficult if not a no-go for a short while til it heals enough to be able to make a fist so apologies to commissioners or potential commissioners. Aside that lately I've been in a bit of a growing depression being here and other sites/communities/places similar. I've been seeing a lot of drama, harassment and stalking of alleged "popular" artists, commissioners/art-buyers and people I've done business with before or talk to regularly.

Because of it I've been getting a bit of disliking, hate and paranoia. Hearing from the acquaintance, any artist they follow or speak to, the other user stalking does then after and had been rumor/hate-mongering trying to give them negative reputation over their past digressions trying to take it beyond that. Even giving me trouble for being affiliated with them. You may even notice submissions missing from my gallery, I have chosen to remove them being they belonged to said person and they have resubmitted them on their profiles so there is no need for me to keep them here. I do not want art in my gallery of people like that. I do no want business from people like that and refuse to do business with them again, having blocked them, although that does little on FA.

That whole matter putting me in a bit of a bad mood, seeing how much drama can transpire from characters, roleplayers and toxic people. It makes me want to do less work of my characters or invest myself in them more. I always worry I'll become one of those people who obsess over them and lose my grip on reality and rationality like the stuff I've seen others do.

That aside I thought I'd mention since FA lacks a "birthday notification" thing like deviant art does, my birthday is on the 7th this month. Not that i'm a birthday person but I know some like leaving little shouts and whatnot so if you're the type to do such, you can now. Being a grown adult birthdays lost their appeal for me ages ago.

Sorry if this post has been a bit negative or depressing, I've just been meaning to post more and get this off my chest and explain why I haven't been posting too much art aside some struggles at sketching.

I currently have had to refund a commission due to a commission being too impatient to wait on their commission a day or so because it was the weekend and I had family and company around and I didn't feel like drawing My Little Pony Porn for someone in a stream around them on the weekend when I'm supposed to take weekends off.

With this I refunded them for being ignorant and rude giving me statements, passive-aggressively refusing to wait until tomorrow or whenever company left with,

"Yeah, alright, I can see how that can get in the way.... Hope you'll get around to it tonight then, and that it isn't too much of a bother.... I mean, it's just a piece of NSFW art, right, nothing awkward about it per se." when deliberately telling them I was NOT going to draw tonight moreso stream/do NSFW artwork.

Upon this I told them this was more than enough and I was refunding them which managed to cost me more than they paid due to paypal fees and exchange rates.

So from now on I would like to state if you cannot be patient with a commission or pay me in USD I'd rather you didn't waste my time with pressuring when I have a quota of others' commissions that are ahead of yours.

I literally had to pay someone to NOT draw them more or less.

I wanted to make a post apologizing for those that are used to seeing me upload and post a bit more actively here. I've recently been going through quite a lot outside internet junk here and whatnot and it's really put a damper/pause on some of my work, personal art and plans that I try to keep active and flowing.

I've been in a bit of a depression and dealt with a bit of drama here and there outside FA with others, friends, what were once friends and others and I don't want to get into details nor would I for the sake of not wanting to stir anymore drama. The earlier portion of this weekend I grew very sick with a chest cold that's been on and off. I don't know why but I seem to get sick constantly during the summer as opposed to any other seasons which on top of the heat making me a lazy, sweaty, exhausted mess makes getting around to drawing even more of a chore.

I will be streaming again. PWYW Streams are a regular thing I do and actually quite fun since they give me a chance to draw things for watchers here I'm not as acquainted with and be more social with them as well as draw new things. I do have a small-ish commissions quota I will be filling alongside occasional streams so I'm afraid unless it's something simple or small-scale like a headshot or waistup type deal I'm not taking commissions currently.

Hopefully with September (groaning at my birthday coming up) and the weather being less disgusting I'll finally stop sucking so hard as an artist and person and be here more often to make people happy again. I've actually had a few note me here and tumblr asking if I had quit or left or something, thinking my recent slow-down in productivity and art was me retiring from art entirely. Which I'm hoping never happens since it is one of the few things that really brings me joy and gives me outlet to express myself in ways I really can't outside art.

Thank you all so much for putting up with my slowness, whining, constant awful health and practically being almost dying most of the time. I'll hopefully be in better health soon. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe and be good to you. -FU-DO

I apologize for holding off PWYW Stream for one more day. I meant to hours ago but got pulled into some stress and drama with family and work outside commissions so I'll see if I can't get one going tomorrow. Things have just been a bit more stressful lately than intended and interrupt me having a consistent flow of things and I really want to apologize. I should be taking this much more professionally.

Due to some stuff coming up and getting in the way I'll hold the PWYW Stream later on tonight likely around 7-8PM latest and do a second tomorrow afternoon to make up for lost time for those who wanted to join stream but couldn't. So if you are unable to make it today we will stream tomorrow as well.

Well since it's technically 12:46AM at me posting this I guess today? 7/8/2016.

I'm going to try my hardest to make time to do a PWYW Commissions Stream around... 6-7PM up until Midnight most likely. I've been meaning to stream more often and promised to weekly but I am awful at keeping promises and consistency. If you're interested be around that time.

You're also welcome to reserve a slot for the stream if interested so long as you're able to make it to the stream or can't make it since it's tough making time to those things with time-zones as they are. I've done a lot of commissions of my Australian friends and know how it can be waking up when others are going to bed.

If you can't make it to the stream but would still like a PWYW Commission inquire via comments or notes. Although keep in mind I'm only offering up to 3 commissions.
I normally don't do PWYW so often but with some bills due in a couple days I'm more than fine with taking on extra work to ensure that they're paid.

So I found out one of the major reasons my laptop has been going a bit slower than it should with things. Apparently this version of Windows 7 on it is 32 bit and regardless that my laptop's model can support up to 8GB RAM and currently has 5GB RAM, that because it's 32 bit currently It's locked off to under 3GB of it usable. I'm going to be uploading/backing up some files of mine, mainly important art backups, project files, game projects, programs, music and all that good stuff to my MegaSync so I can do a clean install to a 64bit OS that after checking, my laptop can support.

So pardon if I don't post an awful lot over the next few days. I'm going to be uploading files which generally makes streaming a no-go and then doing a clean-wipe of everything to install the new OS so I can make use of all of my RAM. I was worried that there was something wrong at first but have scanned over numerous times and no virus. After finally checking "My Computer" properties it just shows that I have a 32bit OS installed and 2.96GB RAM Usable of 5GB.

Also to all of my fellow American friends I hope you all had an awesome 4th of July. I know I'm a day late or so but things happen and I was likely a bit to drunk to post that in a dignified manner. ;w;

So as most of you may have noticed I'm not as frequent with submissions as I used to be. I thought I'd make a small post apologizing for that. I've been meaning to draw more but with the heat here things get slowed down and my health starts to bug me a bit. My eczema and anxiety playing an annoying, large role. I do plan on being active here although less consistent, maybe one or two weekly uploads and a few commissions when I can. I can't quite close commissions with as much as I rely on them to cover the cost of living expenses and things.

I am still doing the free headshot I promised in raffle but have a few commissions I'm working on before I get to that and other freebies. Obligations and work do take priority. I apologize for those who remember when I drew all the time and would upload 2-5 things almost daily, I'm sure we'll get back to that in time. I just need a bit of a downtime to cope with this 90+ weather making me wanna crawl out of my skin.

That aside I've finally gotten around to trying World Of Warcraft outside private servers and do use the main blizzard server (Aggramar primarily.) for those that play it. I'm still pretty low-level since I don't have as much time to game as most Hardcore WoW-Players but if you're interested in joining me feel free to note or comment. I love playing it with friends when I can.

Also on the topic of Orcs, Goblins and monster things, you may have noticed I've been drawing more of those lately. I recently picked up an art-guide book I've pined over for a while called "The Fantasy Artist's Figure Drawing Bible". Which is an amazing comprehensive guide on various step-by-step techniques for all sorts of cool fantasy art things, texturing for more realistic and in-depth shading techniques and generally all sorts of cool nerdy fantasy stuff a dork like me would squeal over. So I may attempt some more fantasy themed arts in the upcoming week or so as well rather than my usual smuts and furry stuff.

Thanks for reading, I love you. <3

After worrying it was breaking down I followed some tutorial videos and sites that showed how to fix damaged or faulty fans and after much caution I think I've managed to fix it to a state where it is safe and less-worrying to use. I apologize if I panicked anyone with that.

With that stated I'm going to be a bit more active here. I've been working on some ideas for Summer Themed Arts as well as Commissions and YCH Pre-Pose pieces for those interested as well as maybe a couple group arts that some friends and followers can get in on if they'd like to be in an art with some of my characters.

It's less cold and depressing with Summer than it was Winter where it was difficult to be productive or inspired by anything so expect a lot more energetic, positive vibes and colorful summery things from me.
Also friends and followers if you've got any ideas or suggestions or even requests to contribute for arts let me know in the comments I might do be interested in collaborating on them.

So after not even getting to have this laptop for a year even, it's fan is burning out and constantly overheating. It has been to the point not where it will shut off on me without warning and give a "Fan Error" message on boot and shut down again. It took a good ten or so tries of getting that screen til it subsided to get this thing to start back up again. With that said I'm likely going to be using it exclusively for working and sending any backups of artwork and personal projects I have to some sort of cloud-storage to preserve them in case anything goes wrong.

That said I am currently accepting any funds and commission work if anyone is interested in commissioning me or helping out towards a replacement. This laptop's sever good but was a refurbished one of questionable quality to begin with so I had a feeling it wouldn't last long til things started to fall apart. It wasn't bad for $70 but I know if I want anything that'll last me it'll cost more than that.

If you're interested in commissioning or anything more comment below or note me.

Well now that we're back after a long downtime from Fur Affinity I'd like to make a post stating I'm more than open for commission now that I've had enough time to recover from a recent baking mishap that left me with a burn on my hand. That and the fact FA's been down so long Ive had more than enough time without drawing or doing commission work.

If anyone is interested I will be offering PWYW Commissions with 5 slots for now and streaming them regularly all across this week. Comment below if you're interested or note me.

Also for those leaving FA you can find me on Weasyl under the same name and on tumblr at www.lvl1slimegirl.tumblr.com (NSFW)

I have a tumblr blog at lvl1slimegirl.tumblr.com
A Skype and Discord which I will and can distribute privately if you note me.

Considered this is the second or third time I can recall where FA was down for a handful of days or possibly offline I thought it'd be a good idea to post ways you can reach me outside here.

Yes I know I need to make a Weasyl already but god it's so tedious getting comfortable with new art sites.

Also in other news art posts may be a bit slower, I kinda goofed up and burned my hand making drawing a bit painful which sucks /tremendously/ when you live off commission work for day-to-day things.

I hate to be the person to sound like it's "urgent" or whatnot but I've been struggling lately to make ends meet with some things lately and have only a week or so of time to make a deadline for a bill that's due that I normally pay "part" of that I'm stuck paying in full. If anyone would like to help me from losing electricity, internet whatnot I'm open to commissions and even debatably lower priced if needed. I'm just very pressed for time and anxious.

Anyone interested in commissioning see my prices here:http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7435478/

Commissions Queue:

Slowly coming to terms that I might have to conform to FA's half-baked Folders System considering 70% of my gallery is now mix'n'match commissions of various styles and genres and I'm losing all consistency with that.

Is using/managing the folders for galleries difficult? I'm slow to new things. I just now starting World of Warcraft in 2016 as an example.

DOING COMMISSIONS AND 2 PWYW SLOTS AVAILABLE.

I'm going to be streaming soon and will be working on commissions, with the addition of taking on two Pay-What-You-Want commission slots on the side if anyone's interested? Keep an eye out and I'll be making a submission and journal post with the Stream Link.

So after chatting over the ideas with a few friends including a few other artist friends here, I've decided a comic is gonna happen of this. I'm currently writing a prompt or script of sorts for a comedic, mature comic involving Cleon Cummins, an adventurer cursed by a villain to a life of eternal bottomlessness.

Her perils and adventures will be tackled in a mix of comic strips and occasional story-driven or pages rather than strips depending on story behind it as it progresses. The character in question here:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19677400/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19686165/

I'm just a bit short for ideas and will be streaming work on it alongside commissions this work if any friends want to play a role in contributing ideas and silly things since I'm going to take a "choose your own adventure" route with it.

The replacements cords to my tablets came back and my productivity has never been higher. I'm going to be posting daily if not more than once a day if I can and taking commissions for those interested.

PWYW Streams will take place spontaneously or when convenient but will likely happen on weekends around 6PM usually.

Dear commissioners, I'm going to be taking a small hiatus/break on drawing until the 13th-15th possibly or whenever my new USB cable gets here for my tablet. The current one's basically dead or so sensitive I can't use it for drawing comfortably.

If you cannot wait that long for your commission I understand and WILL refund you if needed. Comment or message me if you need a refund.

Was going to tonight but some family troubles arose making it impossible. Will be streaming tomorrow and offering 3 slots for PWYW Commissions which will be done in streams and or throughout the week. Was originally going to take a break from commission work but with the first of the month coming up I'd like to take care of April's bills early and enjoy the rest of the month without having to worry about paying them.

Comment or note below for a limited slot for a Pay-What-You-Want commission of your own.
