OK. I basically love doing icons and I need help!!

Recently, some of our extra funds have had to go into car repairs. it through off our budgets and I have a big trip coming up and other stuff I need to pay for :C And our car repairs really took a good chunk of that money.. If I dont make the extra money for food and things it'll really not make for a good trip and has made me question going at all.

So I told myself I would kick my butt into gear and do everything in my power to go to MFF and to have enough money to eat and stuff!

SO ANYTHING HELPS.

So heres the skinny:

These are the base prices. if you don't want to pay more than that; that's totally fine!! If you can spare an extra dollar or two; GREAT. I just need all the help I can get! Its a pricey trip to go from Germany to the US!

SO

~Icons at $3 (usually $5)
Ex. 1
Ex. 2

~Couple icons at $6 (usually $8)
Ex. 1
Ex. 2

~Wiggle tongue icons are $5 (usually $8)
Ex. 1
Ex. 2
Ex. 3 <- NEW


All icons will come with some shading but it will be basic and more cellshaded style!

PAYPAL ONLY.

IF INTERESTED PLEASE POST THE FOLLOWING:
(if you would rather note, go ahead.)

What are you buying?:
Character Ref:
Tell me a bit about personality:
Anything specific you want: (like expression or w/e)
What kind of BG: (note the tongue wiggle ones will be transparent by default. if you want a color, just ask!)


If everything looks good, I will reply with my paypal address and a rough estimate on when it'll be done!


THANK YOU ALL! SEE YOU IN CHICAGO!!

I wanted to make an informational journal to be sort of a ToS to put up in my profile for people to read before commissioning.

•Please understand I have a life outside the computer. I tend to not work on Saturdays and Sundays due to those being the only times I get to really spend time with my husband.

•Please understand that my vision is NOT GOOD. I do my best to make commissions look perfect before posting them but I understand I make mistakes, especially with coloring. If you see a mistake, just note me and I will fix it! No big deal! I do not take offense!

•Please understand I live in GERMANY. Not the US. I do take payment in us dollar though. But do know whats night for me, is morning for the US basically! There's a pretty big time difference!

•I try to have a commission or YCH done within a given time line! BUT- stuff does come up. Please understand that I do have depression issues that sometimes pop up and make me literally unable to work on your piece. If it takes too long, you are free to ask for a refund!

•Speaking of refunds, my husband only gets paid on the 1st and the 15th of every month and usually I only have the left over money to give a refund from the one of the 1st. I do not have a job here. So refunds might not be available ASAP.

•As far as posting my artwork: ONLY the commissioner and/or owner of the characters in the piece are allowed to repost an image. Please do not post artwork that isnt yours places. If you are the commissioner: Feel free to repost the piece anywhere! As long as I am given credit!

•If FA goes down: I can be contacted via email at: dumbhyena[at]hotmail.com


I'll add to this the more I think of stuff!

I think Ive figured out why I've been so impossible to get moving on stuff.

One, i've been dealing with a lot of depression due to my vision. it sucks but i need to move forward.

BUT i think the main one is the weather and where my desk is now.

Before my dad came to visit my desk had been in a sunny room and weather had been really nice. And I had been knocking out a few commissions a day!... then I suddenly stopped feeling that after they came to visit.

Well our weather is a lot like what most people think of when they think of WA. Overcast, rainy, etc. Thats what its been like for WEEKS. That and i moved my desk into the living room which is a much darker room.

Today though was a sunny day. I got out a little bit and BAM. motivation came back a little!

SO. I think during the day i might be moving my computer into the sunnier room and hopefully that'll help me get back to normal!

Thank you everyone for your patience! <3

Decided to take a bit of a break and make one of these! Because I want people to know me a little better! <3

SO YEAH. THERE YA GO. INFO ON ME

Im really sorry for those waiting for your artwork.

I dont like just constantly telling people whats going on in my life. But today I started getting things in gear finally. I finished one piece I had wanted to in an attempt to get my desire to draw and do art again. I think it worked and I'm going to do my best to get a piece done a day.

Long story short- I got hit by quite a heavy depression after my dad and stepmom left. My desire to do anything at all was gone. But I started taking nightly walks again and after a few nights of that- im starting to feel a little bit more like myself again.

Depression blows.

Idk what's been up with me. Ever since my parents left I've had free time but zero motivation. Zero. To do anything. Yesterday I didn't even turn my computer on until an hour before bed.. Yet physical stuff I'm all for taking care of. Cleaning, cooking, even started a little on a costume. But when I sit at my computer I tend to just blank and stare at it. Not even really doing anything.. no videos. No websites. I tend to just stare :l

I think it's partly because I hadn't been taking my vitamins during their stay? I usually take a lot of vitamins including one that's prescribed to me.. and I was always too busy or not home and just forgot to take them until yesterday :/ idk. I also wond er if it's because staring at my computer bugs my eyes? On Monday I ordered glasses but due to the strength of the one lens- they might not come in until next Friday or so.

How do you get yourself motivated or stay motivated? Any tips would be appreciated ; ;

OK So after too many adventures- I'm finally going to be able to get back into the normal swing of things.

My family was wanting to explore every. single. day. so I never really got a break. By the end of the night- I was exhausted and wanted to sleep forever.

But they are heading back home meaning I will have my normal time to myself finally and will finally be able to get art done!!

-SO MY ADVENTURES-

Started their trip out by heading to Austria by train. It was a 3+ hour train ride to Salzburg but it wasnt too bad. We got into Salzburg around 4pm and took a taxi to where we were staying. We stayed at the Von Trapp home, which if anyone has seen the Sound of Music or learned about the Von Trapp family- yeah thats where they used to live before escaping Germany to Italy then over to the US.

We went into the city square because there was a festival going on to honor one of the saints. It was like.. saint protector or something. IDK I cant really remember but it was interesting. Like a big street fair.

Anyways- next day. Basically one of my stepmom's favorite movie was sound of music. Since it started out in Salzburg they have little sound of music tours which talk about the movie, filming of it, and the true story of the Von Trapps- as well as some history of Austria and such. Was pretty fun. That evening we hopped on a train and went back home to Germany.

Next day we explored the base a bit and the area here.

Friday we went up to Munich for OKTOBERFEST. Gosh that was an experience. Beer, good food, plenty of interesting games and stalls, and plenty of drunks. My dad made it a game to take pictures of the drunks that were passed out on a hill usually next to their own vomit. So we hung out there for most the day then decided to try and get out of Munich before more people started getting off work and going. So we left Munich and headed South towards Garmich/Garmisch?

We stopped about 15km before there though in a small ass town. I dont even know what its name was though. It was small but cute. We pulled into town and parked to ask if the hotel had any room. Then suddenly they were parading cows down the main street. Lots of cows. LOL it was hilarious. I took a video of it and I might try to upload it somewhere XD

But we had dinner at this small hotel and stayed the night. Next day we went an hour to the west to Neuschwanstein Castle. We signed up for a tour later that day then explored the town around it. Took a horse carriage up after a while and did our tour which was pretty interesting. I love old history stuff and the castle was stunning.

Sunday we went to a town nearby before going to Nuremburg to explore a bit also. They were having an "old town" festival to sort of celebrate the culture of Nuremburg so it was fun.

Then yesterday we sort of hung out with each other at home and got them ready to leave today!

SO its been busy busy busy!

I left most the photo taking up to my dad but I did take a few pictures!

Pictures are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/gvatt1ad.....AoFRgn72u1Ga#/


Thank you all for being so patient! Im sorry this has taken up more of my time than I thought but it was nice to be around family again ^ ^;

I'm up I'm up

For those of you that don't follow my twitter;

My family came in town and I travelled with them to Austria via train. We were exploring Salzburg and it was soooo prettyyy (in some parts).

I'm only just waking up but I will be replying to notes here in the hour. Sorry about the delay. I rarely have family visit let alone leave Germany so it's been kind of a shock to me too haha

EDIT: OK. ALL NOTES SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLIED TO. <3 TY ALL

Hey everyone <3

SO after a few days of having a bad stomach bug- im going to attempt to make time to get the few commissions and the one ych auction done in the next few days

There's a bit of an unknown though for two reasons; I've got family coming into town today and I have an appointment with my eye dr tomorrow that has me a bit worried due to the fact I've been seeing a floater in my right eye.

For any new followers, I had surgery on my main eye at the end of June. My sutures are a bit too tight my dr thinks and wanted to remove them after 8 weeks. Well he went on holiday literally on my week 8. And has been gone for a few weeks. So who knows what the outcome will be :C I'm just worried the floater isn't from the suture and would mean an emergency surgery.

HOWEVER, I want everyone to be able to stay up to date with what might be going on and sometimes I don't have the time or cell service to get to fa and make updates. So you can follow my twitter as I tend to keep that updated with stuff currently going on. My twitter name is hyenabooty

Anyone else ever broken a bone?

I broke my collarbone when I was working for disney. Which is scary to think but this was almost 2 years ago when I broke it..

Anyways main reason im asking is because lately my collarbone has been very painful. Im guessing due to how cold and rainy it is here in Germany compared to Florida? :c idk. I just dont know what all I can really do to help with the pain. Its just been getting worse and its really draining.

I have a heating pad but it only does so much for the pain. Plus I cant exactly get anything done if Im stuck attached to the sofa for the heating pad. Does this ever stop? Or should I give up and contact my dr.. I just dont want it to turn into another surgery I need.. especially since it was Disney's fault. I dont really understand workers comp but the shitty dr they had me see told them I was 100% a-ok even though the last visit I had with him I told him of aching pain xAx

I just dont understaaaaand.

Hey guys!

As some know, we got asked(kind of told) last minute to drive someone from this base to another base almost 4 hours away yesterday to where his wife was flying into Germany. He's only a private so we kinda waited around until his wife got there. He told us his wife got in at 11am so we left our base at 7am. The night before my oh-so-lovely neighbors decided to play loud music until 4am. and after that I just couldnt sleep. I got maybe 45 minutes of sleep before having to get up with Crush to pick the guy up.

Turns out the guys wife didnt get in until 2 then had to go through passport check. then we helped them get to the hotel on base cause she had way too much stuff (and was a complete and total BITCH)

So we didnt get home until 7pm. had to get some stuff done and had to stay up til a normal hour to go to sleep.

today I feel like a damn zombie since I had had basically no sleep before xAx

Im trying to get the energy to do things but man im dragging. Hopefully tomorrow I can get my ass in gear and get things done. Im sorry guys. I try to keep everything done within the window I tell people but im just so drained ;3;

thank you guysss.

So I've had a lot of people interested in the YEENBEANS <3

So I decided to go ahead and open up 5 more slots!

These are yeenbeans if you havent seen them: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14456531/

1. -TAKEN-
2. -TAKEN-
3. -OPEN-
4. -OPEN-
5. -OPEN-

Ive always heard different opinions so I wanna know from my watchers,

Which site do you guys think is the best for making t-shirts and stickers and such?

I only really know of redbubble :C Whats your favorite to buy stuff from?

---

Trying to get everything done though! Got up another YCH, made yeenbeans, and need to work on a trade! c: woo~ -rolls off-

Thanks to everyone that commented and told me to keep working.

I guess I just get so frustrated with my vision and kinda gives me a short fuse when it comes to things.

Ive been drawing again finally though! Im not going to let my vision get me down about drawing. I just have to not give up. Soon I should get those sutures out and soon i'll have glasses so I just have to remind myself that stuff will get better.. Maybe not as good as before the surgery but it will get better.

Positive vibes <3

Ugh.

sudden doubt about my art xAx deleted the iron artist journal

Its hard to keep wanting to continue drawing when you feel it isnt worth it. It takes me a long time to do pieces so it doesnt seem worth it to do pieces for less than $5.

I feel like sketching had done be wonders for me learning.. but I got to the point that I felt people just expected my art to be free.. and that isnt really fair to me now is it? haha idk ; ; I'm going to probably keep working privately until I figure stuff out :c

What should I work on the most? :C

Hey guys. Don't really want to go into it much but I'm going to be taking a bit of a break from things..

Been feeling extremely alone and like people that were just so close to me.. I feel like no one wants anything to do with me except a few people. I'm aggrivated and upset and I think it's really time to look at my life and shit and figure some things out.

I have two commissions that will be done very soon. Dook's computer kinda took a dump but she reinstalled windows and eventually got everything working again. So those will be done and I will put them up here. Don't worry <3

Idk how long I'll be silent.. I just need time to think and figure out who still wants to be in my life and who doesn't..

HEY GUYS.

HEY. I thought it'd be a good time for life update time!

In another 2 weeks I will hopefully get the little sutures out of my eye which will hopefully get rid of the crazy astigmatism I got after the surgery. Then it will be glasses time! *w* I'm actually kinda excited for glasses mainly cause its aggravating when I cant see as good now as before my surgery.

Ive been staying busy though so Im sorry if a lot of my skype messages have gone unanswered. I tend to get up, watch news for a bit, draw, lunch, draw / youtube, dinner, go to the gym, then relax the last part of my day xD;

Speaking of gym though! Its been really nice to get out and get my butt to the gym. Ive been going every weekday since last Tuesday c: and its already showing some nice results! I've been taking vitamins and eating a bit better too! The cyst on my thyroid causes me to gain weight fast and it was getting bad even though I was eating decent meals. But thankfully it appears I can still loose weight with the cyst which is what I was kinda worried about. I was 205lbs last week though and last night I was at 199lbs! :D So I'm gonna keep at it!

UHM..

Thats about it though. Life in Germany is kinda boring here xD We dont have a lot of places to go that arent over an hour away so we tend to stay at home and watch tv or play games.

Its already getting cold here though and the trees are already changing colors ;3;

Hey everyone! I think I only have two-three things to get done but things might take a day or two longer for me to finish.

I have a cyst that comes and goes on my right wrist and it's been causing some major discomfort with drawing. I got something to help the pain and swelling go away though! But I since I didn't do much yesterday- everything is a day behind. ;3; sorry guys!

Hey everyone.

I know its WEIRD to see me doing so much art and why I have been opening for such small batches and doing a lot of ych auctions.

Since some might not know, my vision had had a lot of issues up until the end of June. I had surgery to try and fix my eye and its doing a lot better. I wanted to go out and get a job after I healed up but after learning some things- I've been told its nearly impossible for me to get a job on my base and I cant get a job outside my base either.

So artwork really is my only option to feel like Im helping out.

My main issue is that I dont know how much my art is worth. I spend a lot of time staring at each piece I do to try to make them good. And each piece gets better. But until I can feel comfortable with my style- I dont want to fully open commissions. I have a lot of learning to do. Im not going to lie. I have a LOT to learn. But each day I practice and well- practice makes perfect.

For me, my worst flaw is coming up with poses.

Thats why we have these ych auctions.

I literally draw a million different poses that people might want or for myself then send some 's way and she helps me see what I couldve draw a little better to make it stand out a bit.

I know my autobuy prices seem a little high but its to gauge how much my art is worth.. I promise in a month or so- the ych auctions wont pop up as much. And I promise around that time I will have a proper price guide with decent pricing.

My second worst flaw was actually getting shit done. And I've been good about sticking to schedules. Having these ych auctions have helped me with that too though. Because the sketch is there. I literally have no excuse on why not to finish it.

Thank you all for your support and love these past two weeks. Its been very helpful in staying focused <3

So trying to come up with some possible auctions and I just want to ask around!

What sort of things are you into. Kinks and non-kinks! I want to make a few sfw auctions too!

Let me know. I wont judge(much)

I had a personal piece come up for family today so things got delayed a day or two. Sorry about any inconvenience!

Plan on editing this journal a lot so check here first if curious about your commission!

I wanted to make a public to-do list with when I estimate things are going to be done and what work has been done so far towards completion.

If you have commissioned me and do not see your name on this list- PLEASE note me about it. I have a very bad memory and tend to forgot some things really easy if I don't have it written down.
(also be sure to check my galley! I delete things off the list when they are uploaded!



-Repofox - pinup - Sketched, try to finish by Wednesday
-Dook - Ref sheet - Started, 50% inked
-gizmo- - icon - Not started, try to finish by wednesday
-Holiday YCH - Lined, waiting on coloring from Dook

ALRIGHT. Since hopefully the site will stay up now- I will have the ych auction end at 1 PM CST.
