So, last week has been intense. Packed my things, jumped in my car with my dog and drove 1000 miles into our new house (goodbye apartment life!). It's been hectic, but thankfully everything has gone smoothly and I am incredibly happy that things have happened for the better. Also thanks to two wonderful and supportive friends (and their doggies!) that have made all of this easier.

My main goal in life was to give my dog Sky a backyard, and finally that has become a reality, so I couldn't be happier. Managed to start a job at the same company I worked in Utah, so job was never a concern, thankfully. Things are still a bit scrambled, but hopefully once I settle in my new routine, I'll be able to get back to my art.

Just wanted to let everyone know, in case you notice I stop uploading for a bit.


Thank you all!

Thank you for all who participated, but I just don't have the time anymore, plus the past openings, I've had really stressful interactions with some commissioners. If I open again, please be mindful of who you're commissioning. Study my style and the things I draw, and how I draw them. See my limits. I'm very accommodating, but don't ask me to change my style of anatomy(body and specific parts), add things I don't do, request extreme proportions, etc. I am aware I am not the best artist out there, I have my limitations and there are FAR better artists willing to go above an beyond your requests.

For those who gave me full artistic freedom, thank you from the bottom of my heart. It makes my life so much easier and it helps giving you the best pic I can possibly do.

First I want to thank all the people who commissioned me these past months. I really appreciate you choosing me!

For now I won't be taking anymore commission requests. Also will take a little break after I'm done with the commissions I have still yet to finish, to work on personal art. Whenever I open again, I will let everyone know.

Thank you again!

Hello there everyone! How you guys doing?

So in this journal I will detail my commission information for future openings. This last run was a bit of a test, to calculate hours spent, effort, what people asked for, etc, and set my prices accordingly. My goal is to give fair prices, not only for you my future commissioners, but also myself given my experience and how I manage my time.

Hello there, to whoever is reading this.

So, I've been always open to the idea of offering some slots if anyone is interested. I might open maybe two or three a month. I work a lot, but I can maybe find some time to make a few extra bucks through commissions which are always welcome.

My views have changed a bit and I am willing to go both SFW and NSFW, within limits of course. So, anyone interested, you can shoot me a PM and see where we go from there.

Thank you for your time!! :)

I never thought I would say that. But yeah, been avoiding this social networking crap for almost 15 years. But here you go @ Gthusky

Wow... I just realized I've been in FA for 7 years now. That is shy of a decade. Funny thing is that I don't recall being here this long. I've seen so many watchers come and go... Seen so many artists that I follow also come and go.

Regardless if this is just a temporary fad, a phase in your life; or this is a part of your life until the day that you die (like me), it's been quite the ride.

If you just added me to your watch list, or have walked this path with me since day-once, I sincerely thank for all the attention and support.

What's up with submission looking very blurry lately? No matter the size or resolution, everything looks very pixelated. Even my older submissions now look blurry.

I'm as of now drawing a rabbit. She's super cute (I don't think I can call her 'cute' since I'm not a rabbit *hint hint!), and I like how she and her (let's call it her mate? *hint hint hint!) are coming out. Not sure how it'll turn out at the end though... Drawing species other than canines or my fuzzy aliens is kind of complicated. I even struggle when drawing felines, but when I drift away further into a non-predator species, I suffer the consequences XD

I don't know what it is that makes them harder. Predators usually share similar characteristics, but "prey" are something else, and a lot more diverse when it comes to shapes and stuff.

what are your favorite species of animals? And which are your least favorite to draw (due to not being used to)?

So I finally decided to give some commentary on my youtube videos now that I got my microphone on the mail. Scary stuff!! But my followers were kind of asking for it for quite a while. I do ATS and ETS2 gameplay videos, so it might not be of interest for many, but if you wish to hear my voice with my very sensual and very hot hispanic accent, then feel free to check my channel. LOL XD

Well, this has been quite a week! Apart from working two very busy 40+ hour weeks in a row, waiting for this pc has made it all more intense. The computer took a bit longer to be ready, and after lots of initial settings and one trip back to the shop, it's finally here, with most of my stuff already transferred and working.

Thankfully Steam makes it a lot easier and most game saves are already in the Steam Cloud. Others, it's just a matter of copy-pasting the save files from the old computer and also transferring mod folders. All good! Good thing WhitePawPrints and I have a pretty decent internet service and downloading most of my games has taken just minutes.

The hardest and most frustrating part was setting up the tablet. For some reason my tablet didn't like Win 10. It took a good half an hour to play around with the calibration thingy and setting up my brushes again to get to that right feel. It still feels slightly different than in my old Win 8.1 pc, but I've done a few sketches and all looks good. Another thing that threw me off was the profiler for my Logitech G27 racing wheel. Same thing as with my tablet. Took a while to set it up again and still, it feel a bit odd. I will have to get used to it.

Managed to download all my music from Amazon again and I am super pleased with how good this computer outputs sounds. I'm a bit of an audiophile and this has been a very pleasant surprise. It's been three years and I'm finally back with the good-old Realtek! No more of that awful Beats Audio crap that my Win 8.1 pc had.

I bought myself a very nice Logitech G602 gaming mouse and a Logitech G710 mechanical gaming keyboard which is an absolute beauty. Man, there is nothing like typing in a mechanical keyboard! I can't wait to get back to writing my story!

But how's the pc? Oh boy... I almost feel as if I don't deserve it! I gave Metal Gear Solid 5 a try and holy shit! (pardon my French). Maxed out, baby. All of my other games that I couldn't max out in my old pc are now being played as they should be played. The one that has surprised me the most is Borderlands TPS. I know it's a game that pretty much any computer can run, but to see it at full HD in Ultra settings running above 100 fps is simply breath-taking. I always loved that game series for the super colorful and vibrant graphic design. Tomorrow I shall download the rest of my games and probably buy Fallout 4 and play it how is meant to be played (I already have it for PS4, but I wanted to play it for PC).

As for art, tomorrow I will try and get back to my reference sheets. Hopefully the new "odd" tablet feeling will be easy to get used to.

End of ramble.

Oh, and... (oh man, I want to punch myself in the face for this...) MASTER RACE, YOU CONSOLE PEASANTS! (okay.. I'll go jump off a bridge now...)

So excited. I got a new pc yesterday and it's being built as we speak. Hopefully I'll be able to test it out on Monday. So happy! My current computer is three years old, so it's starting to show its age with an occasional hiccup here and there. Hopefully the new pc will let me use better drawing programs, and (most importantly) improve my gaming experience.

Old PC main specs:

- Intel i5 QC 4430 @ 3.0GHz
-12 GB DDR3 ram
-EVGA Nvidia GTX 750ti 2GB

New PC main specs:

-Intel i5 Skylake K-Series QC 10% OC @ 4.3GHz
-12 GB DDR4 ram
-EVGA Nvidia GTX 970 4GB

My old computer was never a gaming rig. It had decent specs as a work computer, so I decided to throw in a GTX 750ti to force it into a "gaming" pc and give PC gaming a try. It worked nicely, and surely convinced me of how true the "master race" thing is. However, the processor is starting to show its age and the GPU, despite being decent, is no longer keeping up with new-gen games. So it was time for something a bit better :D

Finally... Metal Gear Solid 5, here I go...

I just love them! As an artist, putting myself to the test and see how much I've learned through the years is quite an interesting experience. While I understand there is nothing like appreciating an original piece (well, not through the eyes of an artist), seeing it come to new life is quite a refreshing experience. It's a new chance to be able to see that piece and smile instead of cringe XD Also, an opportunity to give the drawing a new twist, or adapt it to new changes in the character's story.

So yeah, I've been working on a couple of remakes of very old art of mine. Most of these very significant to me. As of right now I am about to finish a very special drawing, which is an homage to a piece that marked a change in my life and the birth of a very amazing friendship.

After this drawing, I'll have to think which would be good for a remake, because I am really inspired :D

Just trying my new game. Any MK fans out there, check this video I just made of Jason destroying poor Scorpion. It's the first time I play as Jason, so I'm obviously a bit slow while figuring it out :P I did however get the fatality on my first try.

I kind of feel really stupid. How long has FA had folders? D:

Uploading a bunch of stuff and hopefully reorganizing my current submissions.

So I've been playing around with the PS4 for the past few days and I must admit it has brought back my faith on consoles again. Definitely exceeded my expectations a bit. Much less bullshitty than the PS3, a whole lot more powerful and yet much more simplistic when it comes to design and functionality. I switched to PC gaming (because Master Race, and Skyrim running on Ultra settings) a year ago, but due to new releases that require me to spend big $$$ (better make that $$$$) on upgrading my hardware, I rather go for the convenient choice. That; and current and upcoming PS4 exclusives.

Recently I discovered this cool little feature that the PS4 has. Recording gameplay and directly uploading to YouTube. It is so freaking convenient and fast that I think I will be exploiting it a bit for my mini gaming channel, which so far it's mostly (solely) dedicated to Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Not sure if anyone here know what this is since it's mostly popular in Europe and Latin America, but this is a legendary anime series that I had the fortune to grow up with as a kid. And there is a new game just released a little while back. This was my first try on the video capture:



Oh yeah, baby! The Asgard God Warrior, Syd Mizar Zeta (any similarities to someone in particular are NOT coincidence), versus Athena's Bronze Saint, Seiya Pegasus!

So I start moving tomorrow to a new place! I'm excited although a bit anxious about the whole ordeal. My entire life I think I've only lived in two places not counting where I'm at now. Thankfully, I only move a few blocks to a new apartment complex, so I'm really not going into a new neighborhood or something like that.

Costs of moving will be a bit on the "I'll-drop'em-for-a-quarter" side, but at least the place will be all mine and grumpy Yuki's. My own room and stuff. No more having to live with four people you hardly get along with in a two-bedroom apartment (can't believe I managed to survive that almost two years). Been basically living in a half room, plus a desk. Planning on getting a second job just to recover from this hit, so I'll probably be dead for a while when it comes to my art.

My plans after that will be signing in a course to get my CDL and fulfill my only doable dream of becoming an interstate truck driver.

As some probably have noticed over the years I've been sharing my art, as of late, I have become a very reserved person, barely commenting or showing activity over at these sites. I really don't like sharing my problems and concerns, since I feel that is something one has to take care of and no one else. So this journal is not a pathetic cry for attention, but just the last alternative I've found to relieve this emotional anguish, anxiety and anger from my system. I don't need help, but just release myself from this by writing it down and thinking that at least someone would give it a glance.

I've never been the best person in this world. Not even good in the slightest. My life is riddled with mistakes, bad choices and overall mediocrity. Never was a good student, worker, son, brother or friend. I spent almost a decade doing absolutely nothing with my life, other than building hatred towards humanity and slowly consuming myself in my little fantasy world.

But somehow that little fantasy world eventually made me cross paths with people that I slowly started to appreciate. And for the first time I felt that life wasn't so bad. With time, I felt hope again that life could be better.

I've tried so hard in the past, but no matter how much effort I put into things, failure is always the result. Eventually, I just gave up on life. As long as I had my dog, my cats and my imagination, I could manage to put up with life until the end.

But something happened a few years back that eventually led me to have... hope again. To try it once more. Maybe this time, this last effort could be the one that showed me what is the path that life has for me.

For the last year or so, I've done so much more than I've done in my entire life. For the first time I managed to completely beat and destroy ADD(yes; it is real and whoever thinks the opposite, or tries to be a fucking smartass about it deserves to be beaten to death. And yes; the only cure is yourself), lack of commitment, apathy and hopelessness. I've even forced and taught myself to be okay with other people. To even be happy to be with people. To even be attached to people.

But who knows if it's me, or life itself... Maybe it's me to blame.... who knows. However, in the past months, I genuinely feel that all the effort is in vain. I have reached the point were I feel like there isn't anything else for me. I don't know where I am, or where I'm going. Everyday is a massive struggle for me, trying to fight against uncertainty, but I think and feel as if I've lost the battle.

Getting to this point has been hard, because at least when I was home, even if I did nothing and had very little, I had that second choice. I had that hope that I could try it once again in the future, even if for most of the time I felt hopeless. Now that I've made that effort, that leap, I have found myself with the harsh reality... I really have no purpose. I have no reason or point for making this effort. I really have no future, since I don't have any real aspirations in life. I feel as if I'm waiting for something, but that something isn't there. I am not worth anything to myself or anyone, even if people claim the opposite. All this effort has come with sacrifices, and those sacrifices are the only things that kept me ticking; my excuse for living. Now they have been shifted to a second plain, or downright gone from my life... And for what? I've asked myself today... Really, for nothing.

It wouldn't be this frustrating if life wasn't so hard every day. But life for me consists on that eternal wait for something that I can't reach, or that I don't even know what it is. My life consists on having absolutely no control over it or relying on sheer chance, obscured by the ever-tormenting uncertainty. That is killing me slowly... The anxiety and stress has become unbearable. And what is worst is that it has greatly affected the only things that once gave me a purpose.

What makes it even harder is being away from the comfort of home... There are moments when I feel like an intruder. Like a burden or a stain in someone's life. This feeling is worst when I see others family, and even when I hide myself, I can't stop to feel that I am a stranger or unwanted. It is during those moments when I miss the warmth of being with one's own family... Something that I never appreciated before.

I am very independent, yes, and I cant take care of my own problems for most of the time, but there are times when I simply have no control... And that's when the anxiety starts. I have no right to ask for help, but sometimes I need it badly... But people have their own life and problems to take care of and I have no right.

All this... knowing I have no future, no hope. Knowing that my writing and my art simply can't flourish the way it did before. Having no purpose for this effort. Knowing that I probably won't see my dog again... Knowing I probably won't even be able to have a dog again, which is something that gives me a purpose. Knowing that I'm really not working for anything in particular... Feeling like an intruder, being misjudged... Not having control...

All this makes again the idea of death the only way of finding peace. I am not saying I would attempt against myself, but that just the fantasy of dying, either by uncontrolled events, or by my own hand is what at the moment gives me peace.

Once I felt the joy of loneliness. Today I feel so alone, and for some reason, that loneliness is killing me.

Thank you for letting me post this. I apologize if it's too grim, or simply pathetic. But it made me feel a bit better.

What's better than a Husky? TWO!!

Just pre-ordered Resident Evil Remake HD Remastered on Steam. I'm super hyped!! The legend... the benchmark of survival horror and the favorite in any Resident Evil fan. Just one week before release. CAN'T WAIT!!

Wow! Been playing it wrong for the past two years! So I got Skyrim for PC as a birthday gift and I thought it would be nice to play the game for the platform that was made for. I knew it would look and play better that the PS3 version, but as I was testing it it yesterday, I was MIND BLOWN! Never thought PC Skyrim ran 60fps and higher at such a high resolution. I noticed details I never saw with the PS3 version. It's like playing a new game!!

I'm currently testing some mods, making sure they work well and don't affect the game's performance. Oh, man! I'm having so much fun!

By the way, anyone interested, my Steam account is TheHuskyGT


*fanboygasm

This month has been great. It was my birthday a week ago and I couldn't ask for more. I got a bunch of games, awesome gifts, upgraded my computer with a kickass graphic card and got a new LED tv on Black Friday for my PS3, as well a secondary screen for my PC.

But it's all about the games! Got all my Resident Evil collection back (still missing Resident Evil 4), all the Sly Cooper games, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, the Ratchet and Clank game I was missing to complete the full series and got also the Gears of War trilogy (very fun game for being old). My best buddy and roommate WhitePawPrints got me Borderlands Pre-Sequel and Elder Scrolls Anthology (which we are still waiting for...), so I'll finally not only be able to play all the Elder scrolls games, but freaking Skyrim how it's supposed to be played! Max settings on PC!

So what could I ask for? Got an awesome job, a great place to live, two amazing roommates, all the videogames I could ask for among other stuff.

... I only miss my dog...

My apologies if I haven't replied to comments, left comments on all of you guy's stuff, or been vague in my descriptions and such. I have a lot of stuff going on that it's hard enough to even focus on my art. But thanks anyway for the kind comments and the favorites. It is well appreciated.

Well, after a couple of months of struggle, things finally seem to be going well. I finally got a job and I won't have to move back to California. That means I will be a bit busy, but I will try and make some time for my art and also commissions.

It still sucks that it is so hard to get a drivers license here since they ask for a lot of stuff that I can't provide for now, but we'll see what happens. Unlike were I used to live before, I can't get away with not having a driving license, or else I'll end up in jail. I'll just get a bike and see it as some extra work out :D

I am really excited about this job, since it pays more than decently, considering my expenses, which will leave me with a hefty amount of extra bucks. First thing would be pay my computer (which I still owe) and then save to get the car I've always wanted. I'll probably throw in a PS4 there, since it's finally getting interesting games. Hopefully I'll also recover my PS3 game collection.

In the meantime; HUSKIES!!

Not because everyone did, but because I was actually interested since I first saw the trailer. The movie was better than I though (and I'm not being biased due to the talking raccoon). It was full of action-scifi cliche's but it was well directed and I could barely notice them.

And..... I guess because this is furaffinity and all of us are into talking animals, I have to talk about Rocket. They did a good job with him. I was afraid they were going to destroy the character, by making him look like an asshole meat head or something, but I was surprised he was probably the most sane character in the movie.

And freaking THANOS!! What a teaser!!!! They have to make a sequel, because I want to see him in action.
