Does it piss anyone else off?
Posted 8 years agoSmol VentMaybe it's just because I'm an artist myself, but does it piss anyone else off when they see a reference sheet of a character but it has specific stylized pieces where it specifically mentions that " THIS HAS TO BE DRAWN EXACTLY THIS WAY "
Not to call anyone out or anything at all, but on things like the giant bear paws going around.
I completely understand personalized characters with design notes that are like "His ear has to be kinked here, this thing needs to be this way, he has a broken tail here" ect...
But I think it's sorta loads of bullshit for people to make design notes that are an issue with style. Why would you even commission someone who doesn't draw that style for?
If you terribly want art from someone who doesn't draw that style then use a character that isn't REQUIRED to have that style.
tl;dr:
"Muh character has to be drawn with this massive nose, and these super stompy paws, their eyes also HAVE to be drawn this one way. NO OTHER WAY IS ACCEPTABLE" That's pretty ridiculous.
"My character here has defining characteristics but can be drawn in all styles, as long as they still have the bent ear, and snaggle tooth" That's chill
Idk just seems stupid to demand any artist on the sheet itself to draw something that could be way out of their style.

Anyone know any REALLY good car artists?
Posted 8 years agoI'm looking to get some help with a red line for a car. It's a surprise sorta thing so I can't post publicly sorry.
I'm looking to draw a 1991 Mitsubishi GTO. It's a back 3/4ths angle and I think you can sort of tell what car it is in my piece but it feels really off because I never draw them and I think the angle is off. There aren't any reference images I have found that I can use. Any pieces are too far "from the back" so like standing to dead on behind the car in the reference images I have.
I'm really struggling. If you know any artists who draw cars that may be able to help me red line the image please comment their accounts below! It IS a digital piece tho so please keep that in mind!Thinking of keeping art I got not by me in scraps.
Posted 8 years agoWell fuck.
Posted 8 years agoTook my car to it get inspected today and they couldn't inspect it because it has work that needs to be done before it will pass. Thank god this shop is really nice to people and don't scrape your sticker until after you pass inspection.
But they quoted me about $715 of work on this car for two parts. He quoted the labor itself for nearly $300. So I'm gonna see if my brother can do some work on it for cheaper or get the parts cheaper.
More realistically I'm looking at about $350

Posted 8 years agoI woke up and something is really wrong with my back.
I think it's a pinched nerve but I've never had any sort of back pain like this before even with my pinched nerves. I can't sit with good posture. If my shoulders come back it feels like I have a knife pushing through my back into my chest. It sorta feels like my chest wants to give out too when it happens and the last time I tried standing up it hurt really bad and I had a feeling that was very similar to having the wind knocked out of you.
It's like a cross of the wind knocked out of you and the pins and needles feeling. My ears have been ringing twice today from trying to sit up straight in pain.
So I'm gonna take today off art more than likely. If I decide to draw it's gonna be for me and hopefully this back pain will go away.

Posted 8 years agoHey guys, I've had a piece in mind for about a year now that I've wanted to do but never had the courage to do until now.
I really badly have been wanting to do a cuckold piece with Synth and Ziah. I could use my characters but it has less of an impact that way. So I suggested to my discord server last night that I'm looking for a character to cuck Uzziah with my sona Synth in a piece.
Here's what I'm looking for:
I want a male, can be a herm/dickgirl, Something with a biological penis. Nothing crazy though, I don't want stuff with like 3 dicks that are barbed and have webbing between them for some reason.
I don't want the following body types: Bara, Hyper anything, Super fat/obese, super lanky (think the heroin models in the 90s)
Ideal bodies are: Slight chubby, average, athletic.
Here are the species I don't want (for reasons of my personal tastes and also that I can't draw almost all of these):
-Otter
-Sergal
-Bovine
-Bears
-Most species of reptiles (Snakes and dragons are exempt)
-Racoons
-Species like angel dragons and other FA related species. (In most cases if unsure ask anyway)
-pokemon or copyright species as such.
Here are my fave species:
-Equine
-Cervine
-Canine
-Feline
-Dragons
-Foxes
-Kangaroos/Wallabies
Rules
So here's the deal I just want a massive harem of men I can choose from, it will be entirely based on my personal taste and nothing else. So I'm terribly sorry if you end up not getting selected, it didn't mean your character isn't attractive, it just means I was feeling something else more. Also on a side note, I DID put it out to my friends on discord first and I already have some GOOD submissions but I don't wanna do something with one character then turn around and find another character I find more attractive.
I can't promise I'll even finish it to be honest with you guys, this would be a personal piece for me and as such can be done in my spare time or when I'm waiting or done with commissions and sometimes during that time I'd rather play video games or draw something else. So just keep that in mind. (Which also means as a note to my commissioners: that this piece won't be interfering with your piece)
-Comment below with your hottest cocked characters. Let's say a 5 character limit. Just because I want a harem, but I don't wanna be flooded.
-Make sure your characters have pieces that can be used as reference sheets, IE: Flats, good angles, actual ref sheets, color palettes. (Basically don't give me full painted pieces or SL screenshots)
-No arguing, and I will not deal with people feeling entitled to a piece. This is FREE art and I as the artist am free to draw what I want to.
-If you want some other aspect added to the cuck piece you can mention it in ur comment. (Like if you really like lingerie, or prefer anal to vaginal etc...)
-I doubt I'll be replying to comments much on this just as a heads up.
Finally back.
Posted 8 years agoSo the rehearsal dinner was awful for me cos I felt like I looked like shit the entire time and sadly nothing helped me not feel like shit no matter what people said. Regardless the food was good, nothing really eventful.
Wedding day was much more eventful.
We all got up and got packed, then last minute me, and my mate's family went out last minute shopping for a bracelet for me and a tie clip for his dad, then we got home, packed up the car, and grabbed some fast food on the way out. I saw a little cheerleader for my old cheerleading team (Go Dragons!) and it took me back to 3rd-5th grade.
We ate in the car on the way there, finally arrived and got checked in, we had a nice view from our room of the actual area the wedding was going to take place outside, it was a small ceremony outside next to a cliff face overlooking the mountains and greenery of NY, it was gorgeous AF.
We got all ready with mild drama, we go to the ceremony and it only takes about 20 minutes, then we get some pictures, and we head inside for cocktail hour while they finish up some photos.
After cocktails we get let into the reception hall, and everyone chills, they announce the wedding party, the dance stuff happens, and then we wait for a while to get our dinner, standard tradition stuff happens but then they open the dance floor after dinner and that's when chaos stuff happens.
The open bar just get pounded by these people, drinks literally everywhere and everyone is getting hammered. At some point Uzzie, his dad, and I go out for cigars, and some dude comes out and pisses all over the sidewalk behind a trash can, we go back in and Uzziah's little sister has me take her to the bathroom every like 20 minutes because she's drinking a lot.
Ziah and I are just sitting at our table doing nothing the entire time, we count how many glasses get broken or dropped while everyone dances. There's 13 glasses, 3 beer bottles, and a full bottle of wine that got dropped both on and off of the dance floor.
Eventually they shut the reception hall at midnight and there's pizza in the lobby so we go to get some, and I'm mama-ing his shit faced little sister cos she is GONE. She falls asleep on me, and keeps waking up then tells me she doesn't have her wallet so I go back into the reception hall to get it for her, then she ventures upstairs on her own. Eventually Uzzie's mom tells his dad to go up there to check on her cos for some reason she gets violently shaken when her daughter drinks any amount of alcohol no matter how small or what type.
So he goes up there then all of a sudden there's 4-5 guys carrying in what looks like a fresh corpse of some dude covered head to toe in his own vomit in a suit from one of the other bridal parties at the same venue that evening. So some of our party are nurses and they stop them in the elevator and tell them they need to call 911 because this dude is definitely not well and they were just gonna throw him in a hotel room and leave him to quite realistically die. So security breaks through the crowd, gets everyone out of the elevator, and we don't hear about it anymore than that.
We eventually get back to the room and his little sister is just hanging over the toilet from puking with her dress half off. We figured it was gonna happen but no one wan'ts to deal with it, so after a while of taking care of her we finally get her in bed and sleeping, then everyone else lays down to sleep and then BAM we hear this ear piercing screeching noise. Some drunk fuck pulled the fucking fire alarm at about 2:30 am. WTF.
So now we gotta get everyone packed up encase it's real, we check downstairs while his parents get his sister awake and dressed (sorta) and it was a false alarm, firemen had swept the building and nothing was wrong. So everyone is pissed and heads back to bed,
Eventually we all get back to sleep but then I get woken up at 5:15am because the room next to us has a fucking shitty child who just starts screaming it's head off for no reason, and then the parents start screaming at it, and each other for half an hour. I get back to bed when it's over tho.
We get up, pack, then check out and head to Denny's for breakfast. We drive home, and bring everything inside. Uzziah and I take a nap because we got next to no sleep, and then we shower when we get up at like 4-5 then we have his grandparents over for dinner, then after we show them photos of everything for like 2 hours, then when I finally get upstairs to play they wanna watch a movie, and we watch wonderwoman which was really good. Get upstairs and by this point it's like 11pm I play for a little bit then we head to bed.
Man am I tired emotionally after all this tho lemme tell ya.

Away for the weekend.
Posted 8 years agoJust so everyone knows I'll be gone Friday-Saturday all day and some of Sunday. I think this Sunday will be a personal art day since I'm feeling blocked and we've had plans for the past 5 or so fridays so I haven't been able to draw for myself outside of some warm up sketches. or the hour or two I'm waiting one a commissioner to message me, so I'm thinking that day will be good for me!
Anyways, I'm gonna be gone from just about everything friday-sat so I'll be back when the wedding's over.

Posted 8 years agoThings have been going poorly in terms of my friendships.
It seems like no one want's to spend any time with me recently and it's really hitting me hard because people I thought who REALLY loved me are all openly loving on other people but then completely ignoring me.
Very depressed, trying to not hurt but it hurts bad.

OMG GUYS THE SOLAR ECLIPSE
Posted 8 years agoWe got about 60-70% coverage here, but the next one happening in 2024 my hometown is in the DEAD center of totality!!! So hype!
Health and personal stuff.
Posted 8 years agoHey guys, been having some issues emotionally and physically recently that are sorta playing off each other in a cycle.
I'm gonna start off with physical, so I've been worried for a few years about what could be a major problem I've never been the type to go "lol webMD says I got heart failure cos I stubbed my toe" or self diagnosis at all, but as the shitty state of Utah denied me healthcare of any kind when I applied within open enrollment TWO YEARS in a row with the denial excuse of "Not within open enrollment period" literally like no more than a week into open enrollment. So I haven't seen a medical professional in a very long time, I don't have access because I can't afford it, but I do have a minor background in medical stuff and I do know how to search for things when I need to, credible things, and some things that have been happening consistently through the past 1 1/2-2 years has me pretty reasonably worried, I don't want to get into it for fear of freaking everyone out over nothing if it ends up being nothing. I only just told ziah last night about my worries about it. However that's not the current "problem"
I've been having horrible back pains, and random cramps/charlie horses throughout my body. I've tried some things that have helped in the past, but nothing has really been much of a help and I'm beginning to think it's an outcome of my stress and anxiety levels. Weird health things have been happening here and there too, for instance just about 10 minutes ago my mouth just started bleeding a decent amount of blood. I have great dental hygiene, no infections, nothing hurt, my mouth wasn't moving, I didn't bite anything or cut myself on anything, my mouth was completely still and closed, then all of a sudden I tasted blood. I touched my tongue and there was a decent bit of blood on my fingers, went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth because Ziah said it might help and just started bleeding like crazy from the mouth. Again, my teeth are perfectly fine and this sorta thing hasn't happened ever before. There was so much blood I had to call ziah into the bathroom to see so he'd just believe me.
Which brings me to my emotional point, I've been sorta loosely swinging between depression, and incredible stress and anxiety. in part because of my job search, in part because money, in part because life, in part because pain, in part because wants that I can't have etc...
This I think has been making the pain happen/or be worse, and I think the pain has been making the stress/depression worse. I'm trying to keep myself all together but it's hard for me atm. So as it stands I'm currently feeling quite stressed and overwhelmed with life as it stands and I ask that you all have some empathy and understanding. I'm not asking for any sort of "free pass" on my responsibilities at the moment, but realize I am a human and I do fall down sometimes.
I'm terribly sorry if this has scared or worried anyone, I'll be okay, I just want people who care to understand where I am right now.

Playing around with my style
Posted 8 years agoI'm trying really hard to not make this a sappy journal forgive me if it comes out sad, its not meant to be.
Also I'm having a hard time acclimating to typing for long periods with my fake nails x.x
Anyway, for a long LONG time I've been very unhappy with my work. Around early 2015 was the last time I felt truly happy with my work and progress. Now don't get me wrong, I know I've progressed a lot, and trust me when I say that there are days where I really DO enjoy the piece I made, but those are few and far between.
I feel as if my art has sort of hit a cap if you will, nothing drastic, but I feel I haven't improved as much as I'd like to have done in the past two years. My art is fine, sure, but I want to be better.
I recently found a new muse in fashion, I really enjoy drawing my characters in various fashion choices, I've even thought about making some YCHs that are based on outfits I designed! Either way, I've also taken muse of a few artists that I REALLY enjoy the art of, and as my style has always been this mix of my own style, and some bits and pieces that were inspired by other artists. I've looked very deeply into certain pieces to see what I really really like, and I'll throw them into sketches when I can here and there, and tweak it until I find my own flow. In no way is it any sort of stealing or tracing, it's simply like "Oh I like how THAT artist draws noses, Ohh! I like how that one draws ears! Lemme give them a shot making something similar together!" It's more like that.
So anyway, once I finish my commissions I'll be really seeing how I feel out this style I've been dabbling in. I personally think it's getting better each time I do it, and I don't think it's drastically different, it's just more focused on detail, and neater pieces. I'm debating about how the eyes are changing since I know many like how I draw eyes now and I don't disagree. But either way, commissions and the like will remain in the old style seeing as that's what people paid for, as well as I don't know how people will like this style so I don't feel comfortable selling it until I'm more comfortable with it, and make sure you all take it well.
Either way, if it doesn't work out then it doesn't work out, and my style will remain the same, with maybe a few changes I really like.
So, hope you guys will like it when I can show you!

I feel as if my art has sort of hit a cap if you will, nothing drastic, but I feel I haven't improved as much as I'd like to have done in the past two years. My art is fine, sure, but I want to be better.
I recently found a new muse in fashion, I really enjoy drawing my characters in various fashion choices, I've even thought about making some YCHs that are based on outfits I designed! Either way, I've also taken muse of a few artists that I REALLY enjoy the art of, and as my style has always been this mix of my own style, and some bits and pieces that were inspired by other artists. I've looked very deeply into certain pieces to see what I really really like, and I'll throw them into sketches when I can here and there, and tweak it until I find my own flow. In no way is it any sort of stealing or tracing, it's simply like "Oh I like how THAT artist draws noses, Ohh! I like how that one draws ears! Lemme give them a shot making something similar together!" It's more like that.
So anyway, once I finish my commissions I'll be really seeing how I feel out this style I've been dabbling in. I personally think it's getting better each time I do it, and I don't think it's drastically different, it's just more focused on detail, and neater pieces. I'm debating about how the eyes are changing since I know many like how I draw eyes now and I don't disagree. But either way, commissions and the like will remain in the old style seeing as that's what people paid for, as well as I don't know how people will like this style so I don't feel comfortable selling it until I'm more comfortable with it, and make sure you all take it well.
Either way, if it doesn't work out then it doesn't work out, and my style will remain the same, with maybe a few changes I really like.
So, hope you guys will like it when I can show you!

I guess he took his own life and it just makes me so upset. I know it's silly but his music personally got me through the toughest parts of my life.
It seemed like a new song or album came out the same day that something terrible happened in my life and I'd just cry and listen to it. Normally I couldn't care less about celebrity deaths, but this one feels like I just got punched in the gut.
I loved everything he produced, his voice was so soothing to me, and most importantly their music was the biggest bonding point between me and my brother, he always bought me a copy of the new album and gave me presents related to them.
My thoughts and best wishes go out to his family, friends, the rest of the band, and anyone else as effected by this loss as I am.
Suicide is a hard subject for a lot of people, and as someone who has failed attempts myself, my heart aches knowing how much he must have gone through.
I'm always here for those who need support, even if I don't know you, if I can help even in the slightest I will always do my best to make sure I can save as many people as I can, so please, if anyone else this reaches is suicidal, please know there is help all around you, you may not feel like it, but there always is.

I made a funny animatic
Posted 8 years agoPoseidon: 1. Me: 0.
Posted 8 years agoAye lmao, I gave my phone to davy jones locker at the lakehouse yesterday guys.
Lemme tell ya'll about how dis shit went down m'kay?
So, I'm chilling with Ziah and one of our best friends, everything is super relaxed. She says to me "Hey girl, lets go sit on the dock so I can get some sun and we can dip out feet" I'm all like "Hell ya" so we go down there no big deal. I sit on the dock, we talk for like an hour.
Eventually Ziah and his dad walk over to us, we're all talking, his aunt and mom call from the house that dinner is ready. I'm like "BET" lets go get some fuggin' food.
I go to get up and as I'm sitting up I hear a noise like the dock creaking. Then a small splash. I get up fully and turn around, everyone is staring wide eyed and our friend dead ass goes "OMG your phone just fell in the lake!" everyone is staring at me like if I had a child that got hit by a car in front of me.
I'm like "What?" I check my pockets the only place they ever are and I'm like thinking to myself 'Nah I left it on the porch' then it dawns on me that I don't remember setting it on the porch, but I never felt my butt sitting on it.
This. Fucking. Phone. Deadass fell out of my pocket, bounced once, and apparently landed PERFECTLY to slip through the space between the dock boards that were EXACTLY the width of my phone and no more.
So in that exact moment I have a choice, be pissy about something I can't control and ruin everyone else's fun by bringing them all down with me. OR I can move on and just be fine.
I opt for being fine. I look at everyone and go "Well, how bout we go get dinner then huh?" cause there is absolutely no getting it back.
It fell under the dock, into about 10-20 foot deep water, that's murky lake water, and there is TONS of seaweed everywhere, and with my fear of swimming where I can't see completely clearly makes it so even if that remotely possible I wasn't able to go after it regardless. It's just gone. And I wasnt bout to ask everyone else to go nab it for me, seeing as it was SUBMERGED no case, it was done for the second it hit the water. At MOST I could have gotten my SD card back, but nah it's whatever. I needed a new one anyway.
Anyways TL;dr I dropped my phone in the lake between the slots in the dock.
And THEN, the next door neighbors had a TINY little puppy, this little girl was walking it on the dog, the dog being a retarded small baby dog just WALKS off the dock, and the girl can't get it up, so this woman comes running down the dock, scoops the dog up, and we fucking see her phone fly out her pocket into the drink. OMFG THE LAKE WENT TWO FOR TWO. I was fucking crying. Either way, gotta get a new phone now. So ya.
