....that I will never be able to afford from what I've heard about the last few that went up for sale at like, $150-300 a piece or something and all get autobought in the first like, 2-5 minutes.


I think getting a Dreamie (by Coynu )is one of the shortest dreams I've ever had that I've since given up on, lol


Edit: shit guys, be cool to each other. Don't be dickmunches on my journals :c

OK. So, sorry about the disappearance there. At first the internet went wonk again and it took them a few days to fix that cause they didn't want to send someone out to replace the router again, so they were doing their stupid remote fixing thing, which, by the way is awful. I probably spent about 6 hours on hold between 4 calls because they're total dumbfucks, but whatever. But that's not the fun part of this little shitstorm. After they 'fixed' my internet, it worked for about half a day before it kicked me off again. I call back a few times, finally get through to them, and then I get the miraculous word that my internet is reading fine. Like, there's no signal interruptions, no blips, nada. Funny, cause I can't connect at all. For some reason the thing's not reading my password whatsoever and keeps giving me 'incorrect password' crap, so I'm thinking the guy wrote the password down wrong and I need them to reset it. They do, it works for about 30 minutes then goes down again. Weird shit, yeah? I call back and they tell me I'm just putting the PW in wrong again and to give it some time to re-cashe or some bullshit. I'm pretty sure the 'tech' person I got that time was trying to blow smoke up my arse.

So I wait

And wait

And the next day I still can't get it to connect. They then want to schedule someone to come out again to replace the router cause there's definitely something wrong, soooo lo and behold it's gonna take them a freakin week and a fucking half.




Fuck me. Just... right in the ass. I don't care.

So I wait and sit on my thumbs and just fuck off into the abyss that is real life and forgot about FA for a bit *oh man I'm so sorry ; _ ; I'm still new at doing commissions again and If I'd been smart and saved refs to the comp I'd have worked on stuff this week but I was dumb please forgive meeeee* BUT the guy finally came and did some in house work and fucked around with what was going on with my internet and SOMEONE hacked my internet to change the password and did all this crazy bullshit to it, SO We've completely reset up my internet AND they bumped me up for a few months on a higher connection stuff and comped the past month because of so many fuck ups here and there on their end. The new password is like, numberlettersymbolcrapmumbojumbo that I'll never remember without the paper and we had to write it down like 3 times to make sure it was right and it's like 30 characters long. fuck. HOPEFULLY whoever the asshole of the apartment complex is that was jacking my internet can fuck off now and pick some other poor fool to hack off of or whatever.



Also, kitten no longer has fleas, and we've named her Goji, in honor of another great monster that's close to our hearts Gojira (godzilla for ppl that don't know the original name and stuff) because she's a complete little terror.




ALSO also, I'm going to be finishing up Raven's sketches that got paid for, and sort of space out my streams a bit more than I had been doing so I can finish up the other actual commission things people wanted from me, cause I got super distracted on the sketch pieces, but I will still be doing those. I just felt bad for taking the full commissions and then blooping off into streamland and sort of forgetting about them :P

just a couple that we found, but today has been interesting with giving her her first bath... only a tiny little battle scar for me~ but we're going to be alternating giving her warm water baths and baths with a gentle kitten soap over the next week ever couple days to get rid of these fleas. We have no idea where they came from, because she was flea free when we got her, and there were only a few that we were able to see. Got a few more things to do before I can sit down to stream *like get the bedsheets from the laundry room and vaccum the carpets* but once all that's covered, I'll be setting up another stream~

I havent picked up the computer in days, let alone drew anything this week thanks to school and holiday and.. .other things... and kitten <:3

SO... I was ABOUT to set up a stream, when I realized my hand went stupid, so I'm going to warm up real quick and then set up a stream!



I'll be working on more of the $10 sketches from last week, starting with 2 for  Ravensmoon666 and move on from there. I've got ONE more person to add on to the list and that'll be it for these at $10, cause I realized my regular sketches on my price sheet start at $15 and are less work than I'm putting into these -w-' oops. BUT they will be added as a permanent option once I figure out how to nicely add them into the price list without having to totally re-do it... or I might re-do it. idk~

I'll also officially be getting onto sketches for the journal commissions, because every time I'd tried to sit down and bust those out, something happened to pull me away from the computer. idk. life is nuts :P

So a lot's happened over the last couple of days. Tereti surprised me with a new baby kitten that one of his co-workers had been trying to rehome, so I've gone completely into mama kitty mode the last three days <:3 the precious little ball of fluff has been probably the greatest distraction from everything I could have asked for. She's ALMOST black in her coloring, but it's more of a super dark brown/grey tabby coloring, with a little white blob under her neck, on her belly, and on her toes x3. She's about 7 weeks old, which I kinda think is still too young to really be away from the mom, but she's already been weened onto wet and dry kitten chow. The only down side to everything is the people that had her before more or less left all the kittens alone with the mom, and only the mom up to this point. They never socialized any of her siblings, either, so the last couple of days have been me sitting in the bedroom with her, handling her gently, making sure she knows the food is coming with me, and trying to get her used to sleeping next to me or in my lap once she gets sleepy enough.

We just got her to start playing a little with us last night, and she's definitely a string chaser. She's getting really good about being handled once you pick her up, but she does hiss almost every time. She hasn't tried to bite or swat at anyone on purpose yet, though, either, though I did sort of punch myself in the face with her foot when we gave her a half bath after she stepped into her own poop :P Not the poop-foot, thank goodness! but she was very good with the water as well. still squirmy, but i think it was her first real experiance with a sink full of water. The next few weeks are gonna be crazy full of kitten shenanigans, and once I figure out the best way to transfer pics from my phone to the computer without killing my data (no usb chargers, just wall chargers) I'll definitely be throwing pictures at you guys!

She still doesn't have a name yet, and I don't think she will for a few weeks still. Not until she's comfortable and we can see her real personality :3 So for now, she's just BabyKitty, Kitten, or Little One X3




Also, this video(for sound) has been a huge help at putting her at ease! It's a 3 hour track of a cat purring happily :3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY7t8ow2gOM

we, uh... just had to put my 15 year old kitty down today, so I'm probably going to be very scarce for the next few days...

Then I'll set up another stream :3

My place got voted for easter brunch so yay a fuck ton of cooking tomorrow....

when I get back from errand running :3

So like, half hour or so~


I'll be doing $10 sketches like this one(minus the derp background): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/13223071/

2 characters = $20 and so on

sorry for being so scarce, but yeah, finals week was this week, so I've been a little afk :P

though I'm not on skype much for furry stuff because I've got a close/irl friends and Family one that, uh... doesn't need any furry stuff on it, lol, but it's Gable.Chimera

I'll probably mostly use skype in the wee-wee hours of the night, or when I end up doing art streams or something. idk :D



That said, I've been messing around with this place called Picarto.tv, which is pretty nifty for streaming, cause you can use the streaming software to pick just one screen to display, and it won't show my millions of other open windows :P

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....tch=GableDraws

Also, the chat is a little broken to me, on there, hence the whole skype thing, since skype makes noise, so I'll know when I'm being talked at. *I'll probably toss together a stream chat for when I'm streaming or something. Won't be like, every day, but people that are in it will be able to get real-time bloops about streaming :3*




What I'm gonna be working on: Um... No idea, probably just doodles
for a short time until dinner? We'll see :3

Went to log on to check a few things and the site keeps giving me this error, so I don't THINK it's my problem, but I'm not so computer savvy in the who-broke-what department.

"CDbException

CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection."

​OK so... first run of commissions is OFFICIALLY OPEN!... I think I will take on 2 or 3 tops from FA and SoFurry Combined! I'll leave this open for a little bit for people to post their IDEAS AND REFERENCES and I will pick which to work on from there! Remember, if you don't post what you want AND your references (written is fine if you don't have a visual reference) then I probably won't pick you! *gonna be a little picky with these since I need to get back into the swing of doing commissions after years of not, lol :3*


Also... I miiiiiiiight do some kind of discount or something if you'd like to add in Gable and/or Tereti >w>

Previously asked questions:

and some other information about commission stuff too *saving journals to fill all this stuff in later on once I get prices and stuff set*

This is a work in progress and may be changed at any point in time without warning. Rules are retroactive and will effect previously existing commissions as well as future commissions. :D

Payment
Payment will be done via this method. When getting a commission I will need YOUR paypal so I can send a money request to you.
Payment will be requested when I am finished with your piece.

Turnaround Time
I draw when I have time, so at the moment, there will be no deadlines on when pictures will be done.

Canceling
I reserve the right to cancel a commission at any time for any reason INCLUDING 'I just don't want to do this piece'. Other reasons may include no longer being comfortable with an idea for the piece, a commissioner becoming pushy or rude, not feeling like I can successfully finish the piece to my own standards, and so on. If I cancel a piece, the commissioner will get the piece it whatever state of finished it is, free of charge.

You may also cancel a commission at any time for any reason, HOWEVER, if I have already started on your piece, payment for the completed portion of the piece will be required.
Sketches on flat color pieces require 50% payment of the full price.
Sketches on full colored pieces require 30% payment of the full price.

Q1: WHAT KIND OF PRICES/RANGE DO YOU THINK MY ART IS WORTH? (for sketches, flat color, full color, and reference sheets for simple front and back)

Q2: What kind of price/range would you specifically be willing to pay for my art?(because I know not everyone is able to shell out billions of clams for one doodle)

---

And now for the actual journal thing

Oh man, I hadn't expected to get so many people (Here and SoFurry) asking about commissions, or wanting pieces of just their own characters (and not with gable, which is what the 'want me to draw you' journal was for :P). A lot of people have been asking about ref sheets, but also just straight up full pictures, and I don't even know XD, because I have pretty much zero idea what to charge for things like sketches, full color, ref sheets, flat colored things and so on. I've been looking around, but there's a huge jump between what looks like really low-ball pricing and things that are stupidly expensive, so I'm a little confused on where I should put myself o 3 o

Now don't get me wrong, I'll still be doing random free pieces here and there, but I guess a commissions would be a good way to guarantee something?

I've still got to get a paypal and stuff set up for this, and all that fun stuff, but yeah, just price fishing.

And I'll probably end up doing 2 kinds of sketches. Just really quick shitty sketches like I had for my ref sheet, since that was planned to be fully done, and something that's more of a finished sketch intended to be just a sketch, so half the picture doesn't end up really light, and the other half is dark and scribbly as heck.

Cause I'm looking for 'filler' characters for upcoming pictures with Gable I've got planned :3

I also might be looking for ideas, so if there's a specific idea you've got in mind to be drawn with Gable* go ahead and drop the idea(s) here along with your reference(s). Also anything you DO NOT want done with your character. I might draw you, I might not. Might be a sketch, might be a full colored awesome piece!

And if you want, spread the word on free arts~
