I have a YCH running at the moment, but I realize not everyone wants a female-based pinup, so if you're looking for something else for Valentine's (or just in general) feel free to drop me a note. I may be picky with commissions now, but I also still need them. Appreciate those of you still hanging around and paying attention. <3

Hey, so after leaving forever I've gotten to a point where I could use a little extra cash on the side and am able to work through the pain to do so. I will NOT be offering things often, and I will not take commissions I'm not actually interested in drawing. I do have extensive damage to my joints, including my wrists and fingers and things will take me longer. What would have taken me a few hours in the past now takes me a few days, so my time is worth a bit more to me now.

If you do read this, and you are still a watcher, thank you! I've missed my artwork and the opportunity to draw. I hope I can earn back my following and reach more people. Thanks guys.

You won't see any updates from me, but if you're at Metacon, feel free to drop by the Badger and Bee table in the Artist's Alley and say hello. I may be doing sketches while I'm there, and I'll be at a table with a friend selling lots of neat buttons and other crafts. I'll be there all weekend, so if you're there and wanted to meet me, now's your chance I suppose. Happy conventions, everyone!

I don't think unemployment is gonna happen. I have an interview tomorrow, hoping that goes well. But I'm at that point again where I need my meds. Without insurance, they're pretty costly, and I currently have 47 cents to my name. I'm currently offering a couple ych's, as well as busy sketches. If you'd like something else, feel free to note me and we can discuss it. Thanks guys.

So I have to appeal my case for unemployment. They said my last call in was for transportation issues that were under my control, which isn't true. I couldn't exactly control my transmission failing.

That means I still have no income. I'm in a really bad place right now. I almost lost my car, they kill switched it. I had to borrow money from my grandma, which she said she won't do again until I pay her back what I already owed. My insurance is about to lapse. I have no way to pay my phone bill, due on the 6th. I am really not sure what to do, other than try to make money through art. I realize you guys probably don't have much confidence in me anymore, but I'm desperate, and I'm offering colored sketches for $15, plus I have a ych going. I'll be posting more ych stuff once I manage to sell this one. Everything is to be started upon payment. If you can afford it, I'd appreciate the help, whether you can buy a sketch or something bigger. If not, if you could spread the word, that'd be fantastic.

Thanks for your continued support, guys.

I'd have to go get my tablet and laptop from home, but I was hoping to do some stuff tonight. I just need to know if anyone is for sure interested because I don't have a lot of gas.

Not exactly the best news, but I figured you guys might want to know. My car's transmission started slipping on my way to work last week, so I had to call in. They called me back about twenty minutes later saying I was fired. As of now, I have no income. I'll be applying today for unemployment, then I'll start looking for a new job. But during that time, I should have more free time, meaning I hope to be able to draw again. Fingers crossed things go well.

So the living situation is mostly okay for now. The issue is mainly just food now. My check next week should be close to normal, I'm missing a little bit of time because of my RA, but it should be much better. My only worry right now is keeping myself and my boyfriend fed. I have $20 to last another week, so anything is appreciated. Thank you all for the suggestions and kind words. It means a lot to know people care. Here's my PayPal link for anyone wanting to help out. https://paypal.me/istopayments

So I know I've kind of been dead forever.. And I feel awful about that. Things were going okay for a bit, but now I'm in.. Not such a good place.

My family wants me gone, my current partner just lost his home and job at the same time, and I'm not doing so hot. I can't use the kitchen at home at all anymore, so all of my money is going to eating out. I currently have $1 to my name until payday, and I've been sick for a month straight. I've taken some time off work, which means my check isn't going to be even half of normal. I'm at the end of my rope, and about to be homeless. I have no idea what to do.

Also, those of you waiting on art, I hate to say it, but until I can buy a new laptop, I'm not able to do anything. My laptop will hardly turn on, and isn't holding a charge anymore. I'll offer refunds when I can afford it again. I'm sorry guys.

I've made up mind, I'm selling Mocha and Mako. They come with around 20 pieces of art from multiple artists, including pollo-chan, shushikitty, and psychoticbubble. I'll post up an ad later, but I'll be doing this auction style.

Buyer will also get a coupon for 20% off a commission from  candycorpse.

Bids start at $100, minimum increase of $5. I'll keep this going until November 24th. If she doesn't sell, I've got a friend willing to hold onto her.

Here's all the art she comes with: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zoeiytft.....D9vKyqEoa?dl=0

I just don't have as much time for the furry community recently, and that sucks. I kind of hate that I don't, but I've been going through a lot of shit lately. Work keeps me busy, and life is hectic. Recently went through a breakup from a longterm relationship, which is really hard. Still having computer problems. On top of that, I lost a lot of stuff during the breakup. It's all material possessions, they're all replaceable, it's just expensive and not something I want to deal with.

Anyway, I'm considering selling Mocha/Mako ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12867207/ ). They'd come with a pretty decent amount of artwork, so I don't know what I'd be looking for price-wise, but I'd like them to go to someone who has more time for this sort of thing than I do. At the moment, I'm just checking to see if there's any interest, so if you are/would be interested, please say so in the comments or via notes.

I'm sorry for disappearing, guys. I really am.

Well, it would seem as though my laptop is on its last leg. I'm having RAM issues, fan issues, processor issues.. it's looking like it's about time I move on. That being said, I'm going to be on the lookout for a new one, so if you see any deals on anything decent, I'd be much appreciative if you'd let me know.

I'm going to start with grabbing external memory of some sort to store all of my important stuff. I should be able to find something locally for that, then move my files over.

I'm having to actively keep an eye on my RAM usage/processes in order to even browse, so drawing is out of the question at the moment. My apologies for another delay, I have no idea when I'll be able to find/afford a new laptop. I realize that recently I have not been the best provider of service, and I kind of hate that. I probably sound like a broken record with all the apologies at this point, but I want you all to know that I'm being sincere when I say that I'm incredibly sorry for all the delays/problems/etc.

I've had to put my school on the backburner due to work, and it sucks that I'm having to do the same with my art. I miss you guys, and I miss drawing. I'm technically better off, at least from a financial standpoint, but I feel like I don't know where things are going in life for me, and that's really scary. I need to work on fixing this stuff asap.

Thanks for taking the time to read through my problems, and remember that if you ever want to cancel a commission, it's an option.

Hey everyone. Sorry for being so sparse lately. I haven't touched my laptop in weeks and it makes me sad. I'm finally settling in at work and I'm starting my new schedule next week. With that in mind, I can finally get to some of these commissions you've been waiting on! A huge thank you to those of you who ordered stuff at the beginning of summer and are willing to be patient on getting it. Just a reminder that if you'd like to back out of a commission, refunds are available. Just send me a note if that's the route you'd like to go.

That being said, I will have a little time on my hands once things are set up the way they should be, so I'd like to discuss Halloween! It is absolutely, hands down my favorite holiday, and it's important to me that I get to draw something for it. However, with the way things are schedule-wise, I'm afraid I'll only have time for ONE piece. This is not limited to one character, but only one person will be able to get something from me for Halloween. If you'd be interested in being that one person, please comment expressing interest! I want to get a feel for how many people, if any, are interested.

Again, thank you all for your continued support, and I hope to hear from you soon!

This is a gofundme for his funeral. Not sure about the cause of death right now, but I'm really shaken up. This man has been like a father to me. He gave me a car a few weeks ago because I needed one. I can't do much other than share his funding right now, so any donations would mean the world. Thank you all.

I will be working full time starting next month, so I will not have nearly as much time for commissions. That being said, my commissions are now CLOSED, so I will not be accepting anymore until after I've finished everything I have. Sorry to new watchers from my ad that says I'm open, but things have kind of started.. going somewhere with my life, haha. I'm really excited to have this job, it's an office job in a nice area, so I'll be busy and content for awhile. I'm also starting school soon, so I won't have a lot of free time between the two.

If you are interested in a refund, please comment or note me. If I've already started on your piece, it will be a partial refund, but you'll be welcome to take what I've done to another artist and have them finish it! If I haven't started at all, a full refund will be available. I cannot refund until after my first check, so expect it to be sometime next month, I'd just like to know what to take off my plate, so to speak. If you are fine with waiting (which could be awhile, guys!), don't feel pressured to have your commission refunded. I've heard of/seen artists forcing refunds on commissioners, and I just want you to know that I am by no means telling you I will not do your commissions! I'm just offering the option to take your business elsewhere so you can get the speed of delivery you deserve!

I will definitely be open again by October, so if you'd like something for Halloween, keep me in mind! I'll only be taking one or two things at a time from now on, though, so first come first served. c:

Thanks for helping me out and supporting me for all this time, guys! I appreciate each and every one of you. It's been a pleasure working with you, and I hope that from here forward things will be much better for myself and my customers!

Also, I am now at 500 watchers! Woo! I'll doodle something to celebrate when I get some free time. c:

So I'm far from settled in here at home, but... in case you care what's going on with me..

I have a car for now. My car that I share with my boyfriend is still not running, we don't know what's gonna happen there. But my best friend's dad gave me a '98 Jeep Cherokee, and my mom has it on her insurance for now. I'm going to have to pay for it, and I guess it's gonna be like $90 a month so.. I'm gonna figure something out I guess. I have most of my stuff still packed, the basement is in no condition to live in right now. Something has to be done with the foundation to prevent leaks down there, the windows need to be replaced, and the entire basement needs to be bleached and cleaned and just.. made livable. I had a job interview yesterday, I'm not sure if I got the job or not, but if I do, I may look into refunding someone people on my commission list because frankly, there's a lot of work to do, and if I have a job, I won't be able to do it anytime soon. They said they'll call within the week to let me know either way, so... here's to hoping I guess? I still have to get money together to apply for school, plus I need some help with fafsa stuff, but my mom's supposed to help with that. I'm totally overwhelmed at the moment, but I'm happier than I have been for awhile.

I'm really sorry to everyone who has been waiting for their stuff for awhile, I'm going through a sort of rut right now with art, I can manage to get something out during like a key time every couple days. It's not even at the same time every time, there's just like a small window where I can manage to get something done that I don't hate, and then.. nothing. So there's that. I don't know, really. I'm sorry guys, I'm trying to get stuff done in real life and online. I haven't been on much lately, so.. I'll try harder I guess?

Anyway, expect things to be slow.

I have successfully made it home. I ended up spending way more than I had on gas and food, so I'm currently in the negative on PayPal. I'm trying to get things situated, and I need time to recoup, but I should be ready in a couple days and back to work. I'll be starting with MeMeMe icons, so if you're waiting on one of those from me, please rest assured that I didn't forget you. I'm just on my phone, no computer yet, sorry!

Just a heads up that I won't be online after tonight until I've moved. That means I won't be uploading things for about a week, and I won't be here to answer questions. I'm sorry in advance, and I'll see you all in about a week!

Thanks so much to everyone for helping me out!

Not just with art, with life in general. I can't.. anything. I don't even have the will to be awake most of the time lately. Everything bores me, and it's really frustrating.

Suggestions?

I'm back now. Internet was shut off, just got it back. Back to work for me.

I can't believe I just heard about thiiiiis. I'm so upset right now. I was looking forward to that game SO MUCH. Konami, you really fucked up. :/

The winner for the first prize, a custom character, is number 23! http://puu.sh/hHDEX/79d69e9c89.png Congratulations,  le_skarmory! Please note me and we can work through details!

The winner for second prize, the new owner of the lovely chameleon girl is number 11! http://puu.sh/hHDGN/f6149edf2a.png Congratulations,  row-row-puff! Note me with an email and I'll send you the unwatermarked full sized version. c:

Okay, so to garner a bit of attention, I'm going to host a raffle that has TWO winners. First prize winner will get a custom character design by myself. Flat colored, front reference of your own custom character. It will take me a bit of time to finish this, because it'll be done between commissions. Second place will get this chameleon adopt that I created and did not sell: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16464868/

You MUST be watching me in order to enter. You don't need to repost anything, but if you do you'll get a second entry. Spread word, let your friends know about this. The goal here is to get a larger audience and hopefully larger customer base. To enter, simply comment below saying "I'd like to enter" or something similar. For your second entry, link me to the journal spreading word.

This raffle will end Saturday, May 9th at 5pm central. Good luck!

To clarify - first prize gets a NEW character created by myself, not a reference of your pre-existing character. If you'd like to redesign your character, that can be done, but again, this is not a ref sheet for your character, this is a NEW character.

My dear friend  baffels is having a raffle for a win-a-night with the winner's choice of his characters! I'll be doing the art, and you'll get to pick whether you'd like it sfw or nsfw. Go look at the rules here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6688740/

Repost/link to his journal if you want to, let all your friends know!

So that happened. I woke up, picked them up, and the arm just.. fell off. I glued it back on, but now the spring is gone apparently? So they don't stay "tight" and they just fall off. I totally don't know what to do other than a temporary fix.
