Portrait Request

I NEED SONIC GENERATIONS.

LIKE, NEED IT. I HAVE A PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE FOR OWNING THIS GAME. ANYONE WANT TO BE A BRO AN- I'm just kidding. I'm not gonna be that guy. BUT I STILL NEED IT. DAMN ME FOR NOT HAVING MONIES.

Look, I'm tired of this. I've asked you guys over a hundred times if you want me to do commissions or even requests and you don't even make a peep. Now, I don't mean to call you all out, but I need to know: did you all just watch me on a whim, for the hell of it? I'm starting to think that's the case, because even though I haven't posted anything in a while, you guys don't say a thing when I want to draw art for you people.

I need to know right now if you guys want me to make artwork. I need to know. Because this is what I go to school for. This is what I'm going to make my career out of. And if I'm not even getting a response from people who have said that they're interested in my art, well... I start to question if this is the right path for me.

So, if you guys actually care, you'll take me up on this: I'm doing free art. It'll be in traditional style (pencils and coloured, markered lines), as my tablet is not functional right now. I'll open three slots, . If anyone's interested, tell me what you want below, and please link me to any refs you may have. Guidelines and rules for requests are on my page. If you care about my art, show me by taking this up. If not, well, forget it.

Fffffffffffuuuuuuuuu... I don't want summer to end. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm going to start vocational classes this year, and I'm looking forward to that, but I'm gonna have such a large workload, I'm really not looking forward to the regular school. But hell, such is life. Anyways though, part of the reason I'm not looking forward to going back is that I still have to finish a shit-ton of reading and homework my soon-to-be teachers gave us to work on over the summer. It's not going to be a fun time trying to get this done.

Anyways though, I'm still wanting to do commissions. If anyone even cares anymore, go ahead and tell me, because I really need some good word in order to want to do this.

I've got a lot of art that needs to get posted, so expect that sometime soon.

I'm tired. I'm just tired.

Give me a good word folks. Please.

The good news is that I'm finally back in the saddle. I've started drawing again, I've got a bunch of projects that I'm working on, and I should be putting some new art on here soon.

Now, I'm guessing that any of you who actually watch me have started to loose hope of me ever doing anything other than making bad artwork, then disappearing for several months. Here's the thing behind that. There's this thing that I have known as an artist's anti-tech barrier. If you want more information on this, please refer to this hand little guide:

http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequ.....lart.php?s=435

Now, this is where the bad news comes in; this causes all computers that belong to me to take a shit and die on me whenever I try and do anything with them. That is why I can never post much anything; my first computer crashed completely on me, making me lose any and all data I had on that mother, and this current machine used to work brilliantly, and I would have done more with it, but then I tried upgrading it, and of course that was the worst decision I've ever made, because it ended up causing a near-crash with it, which resulted in me loosing my graphics card, a fair amount of Data, and gaining in turn a non-working disk drive.

So now, unless I get money, and possibly a new computer, I'm basically SOL. Now, I may be getting a job sometime soon, but until I do, I would really appreciate a little help. Therefore, I will probably be opening commissions sometime soon. However, until I can get a payment thing set up, I would greatly appreciate trades, or even requests from you guys. Anything to get me back and into shape. (I've hit a bit of a wall recently, and I'm bored of my own characters and stuff, so some new or different material to work with would be very nice.)

For now, I'd say that's about all. Talk to you again sometime soon.

This is Jax, signing off.

2 months... I finally have a computer... *Huge Sigh, including passing-out-on-back*

Well, hello again folks. Been a while, huh? And what a few months it has been. Allow me to share some of my past endeavors with you. I will divide this up into sections to allow for easy reading.

What has happened recently.

As you may or may have not noticed, I have removed ElysiaDrake form my 'awesome people' section. This is because we broke up early last months. Now don't you worry, kiddies. We're okay now. However, this presents some issues, as much of my art was of us. However, this doesn't mean I'm getting rid of it, as it is still my art. Also, I am no longer making Eysia be my 'sona's mate. I honestly don't know what I will do about that, but we'll let things come as they may.

Also, I wish I could say this easily, but I can't. This is a new computer. Entirely. Hard Drive and all. In other words, all my WIP's are gone, aside from my hard copies. So, if I had any work going for some of you out there, could you let me know? I need to get back into the swing of things.

Here and now.

Well, now, here we are.

So, I'm still wishing to do commish's. Anyone who thinks that it's either a really good idea or a really bad idea, speak your mind. I need money, and I think that this would be a good way to obtain it.

Also, I'm going to get back into the swing of making GMod vids, in case anyone's been following that. Just gotta get all my stuff back.


Well, I'd say that's about it. I'm glad to be back folks. Sorry if I missed to much stuff.

This was Jax. Out.

Sorry it's been such a long time since I last made mention of my not-being-deadness outside of Youtube. I haven't really gotten much done since I last signed in a F*CKING month ago, but school's been keeping me pretty damn busy, I haven't had any inspiration, and my computer is currently Out of Service due to my new upgrades I got for Christmas requiring a new (and more powerful) Power Supply.

So, I haven't been on this good ol' website since before Christmas, so I've been feeling a bit homesick. However, I'm starting to witness the Reprecussions of note checking. I currently have 158 Submissions and 119 Journals. Looks like I've got some cleaning house to do...

So, have I missed much since I've been gone? If I have, please someone fill me in?

So, that's about it. Sorry if I missed much good stuff. Out.

I want to apologize for my actions. I'm sure a few of you saw my last journal which I posted really late last night. Well, I take back most everything I said in it. I had a really huge meltdown, and it was caused by a REALLY long and exhausting day, a bit of a hard time I had with my friends, and a bit of a rough night.

I realize now that I made an ass out of myself, and I took it out on everyone, especially my watchers. So I want to apologize to you guys.

Thanks for sticking with me, no matter what rut I get myself in. And I thank my honey Elysia and my new friend Zel-Kun for pulling me out of my last one. You rock guys.

SO YEAH

I'm still going to do artwork, and I'm still open to arts, should you guys want them.

Thank you all.

I was thinking of opening up commissions to raise money for Christmas. I know I'm not the greatest (by far) but I need to know: just how much do you people think I should do it? Highest price would be $12 for a Reference Sheet, lowest at $2 for a pencil design, full shading, single character. If I'd do this, I'll list all the prices, and you guys already know the rules (if not, look on my profile page), but how much do you guys think I should do it? PLEASE tell me what you guys think.

First of all, I'm not dead. There have been several things which have been keeping me from posting art; school, vidja gaimes, piece-of-crap computer & scanner, et cetera. I have made some stuff, and I need to do the colours on them. I will post stuff soon.

Second: I thank you Dragonner, for creating a "Nuke Submissions" button. I had nearly 50 submissions and 40 journals which I had piled up in my inbox, and it would've taken me a real long time to delete them all one by one. But, there was a little pink button that I pressed that helped me BIG TIME. Sorry to anyone who may be offended by me doing that, but I had to. From now on, I'll keep up on my stuff a bit better.

Lastly; today, I heard from someone whom I'd been waiting to hear from for quite some time. Jalisa, the Dying Visionary. I hadn't heard from her since she made her decision to help her friend and move out. Today, I log on, and there's an update from her on the top of my journal list. Apparently, she's doing alright, and I thank God for that.
So now, I speak from my heart. DV, I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I will say this right now: you are one of the few people who believed in me. You helped me to come out of my shell and do my art, to be proud of doing it. And so, I say, you're awesome. Thanks for everything. Hope to hear from you again soon.

Alright, that's it for me. I'm out.

Forgive me for that. I was upset about something I'd rather not get into detail about. But what it was is done now. So forgive me if I concerned anyone.

Freakin' Toy Story 3 man. I just saw it. And... Toy Story 3.

I love the Toy Story Series. I really do. They've been my favorite movies, ever since I was a kid. And I just saw the final episode in the trilogy. It was... oh, how do I put this... amazing, on every level.

Oh, and *in Farnsworth Voice* Good News Everyone! I figured out, after watching this, that I have a soul! (If you don't get this joke, look at other people's journal about this movie.)

Ok, I just got my Pen & Touch a few days ago, and I've been wanting to do stuff with it, but I unfortunately can't, for as we all know, inspiration's a fickle bitch, and she only graces us with her presence every so often. To fix this bind I've gotten into, I'm going to do some free art for you people who actually care about amateurs such as myself. I'm only going to be doing this for 3 people right now, so take a spot if there still are some.

Only a few parameters:
-No fetishes (no fat furs, babies, vore or anything like that)
-No yiff or mature artwork (I refuse to draw such things)
-No derogatory images
-No offensive images (satanic, Nazi, gore, et cetera)
-I would prefer if what you ask me to draw is canid or feline, but I wouldn't mind if you give me a different species, as I need practice with species outside the norm.
-I will draw peoples' fursonas, but don't expect it to be too grand. I still haven't become a furry Picasso.

Also, if you would want me to draw whatever you want me to in Pencil, just tell me. I have a bit more experience with them than I do with the Pen & Touch, but Digital Colourings look better most of the time. So weigh out the pros and cons, and let me know what you want.

Also, refs are greatly appreciated, so long as the ratings are below mature.

I got me a Pen and Touch! HelloOoOo world of Digital Art!


...Yeah...
...I need practice...
...lots of practice...
:(

Basically, for me, I just draw it, and go trial-and-error style. If it doesn't look good, I erase, and if it REALLY doesn't look good, I just start over. If it works though, I copy it, and I move onto the colours. Is this a bad thing?

Leave your thoughts.

I'm officially dropping Nikki from my character repertoire. Now that my RL mate has a fursona, I'd feel as though I'm offending her by not making her Jax's mate as well.

It's official: I have fallen in love with Audiosurf. I know, that it's obvious why, but until now, I've put it off as a pointless rhythm game. BUT NOT ANYMORE! This thing NEARLY outshines Rockband in terms of fun. I said it. So yeah! I'm probably going to be getting that. And then comes the Pen and Touch.

Also, Eraya, I'm sorry it's taking me so long to complete my end of the trade. You see, I started working on it a bit more, and I've realized this copy is turning out REeEeEeALLY bad. So I'll print out a new one, and I'll have it finished soon. Sorry to make you wait so long.

I'm currently up sixty bucks, so I was thinking about maybe saving up for a Bamboo Pen and Touch. Figure it would help me get better with my art. Although, one question remains: Eraya, would you be horribly angry if I did the trade with the Pen and Touch when I get it?

I'm still going to do the pencil colouring, but I'll say right now, they're currently not doing you and Juston any better than someone just starting off. Either that, or my abilities can't do you any justice.

I'm never doing drugs. EVER. NeverevereverEVER.

I suffered from a case of Caffeine and Sugar withdrawal yesterday, and I would say, it was definitely something I NEVER want to experience ever again. I was up until 6:00 A.M. with a mind-shattering headache, stomach pains, and aches that felt like someone SUMMONED STEAMROLLER! on me. I had my first Coca-Cola in roughly 48 hours earlier, and I'll say right now, it was like a radiant angel smiled upon me. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

-Jax

There are a few things that will end up delaying me in posting any art for a time.

1: My scanner still isn't working. I'm working on fixing it.

2: Several new games have been purchased in the last few weeks; Crackdown 2, Garry's Mod, TF2 on the PC, et cetera.

3: I've had a fair amount of work I've had to do in the last few days, and it just keeps coming, so I'm quite busy.

4: My internet is BALLS, so I have problems posting anyways.

5: PANCAKES

So yeah, those are reasons why I haven't posted anything recently, and I won't post for a bit longer. DV, I'll get your trade up soon. I was hoping to get it up for you as a BirthDay gift, but it looks like that won't happen. Sorry... Nonetheless though, I'll have it done soon.
