No don't worry, I'm not becoming a monk and joining a Monastery. |3
I'm just moving fairly soon and am trying to get rid off all the junk I don't want to drag around.
So instead of throwing all of it in the trash I figured I could try giving it or selling it away to those that are interested.
Sorry, if you are in the US or some other continent then Europe it's probably going to get too expensive to ship it to be worth it, unless you're willing to pay for that and really want it.
Also I'm not going to ship away something big like furniture. X3

Anyways it's impossible for me to list EVERYTHING I have here so I'll just give a basic outline and people can ask me and I'll let them know if I have that or not.

Shit tons of Magic the Gathering Cards. (Can't remember which set and I can't tell you if I have a specific card, I was just gonna throw the whole pile on my nephew and let him play with it)
Prop samurai sword set. (Nothing fancy, but they've managed to hold together this long)
Whole Harry Potter book series (in swedish, sorry)
Blacksad the comic book (in swedish)
World of Warcraft the wargame figurines.
Ye olde PSP and PSP 3000. (Both cracked)
DVD MOVIES (got shelf loads of movies, ranging from popular to obscure, from good to bad. Some have swedish dub, some have polish dub)
PC games galore! (if I had shelf loads of movies I have triple shelf loads of PC games. Some will be unusable since they where bought in the steam era, but others are older and should still work)
Playstation 1 (comes with a bunch of games, mostly Final Fantasy stuff but a few other gems aswell)
Xbox Original (transparent, hacked) (I might end up keeping this one because it's just so useful to watch downloaded movies on, and I got it in the best deal I ever made ;w; but thats another story)
Xbox 360 (old bugger again, seen a lot of use but is still kicking it, has a bunch of games that I will be sad to let go. :c)
The Redemption of Althalus (David Eddings two part books, again in swedish)

Those are the interesting things I can think of at the top of my head and I am getting hungry and tired of writing.
Feel free to ask me about stuff and I will try to remember. |3
Also a few things, especially the gaming systems I may end up changing my mind, so just be warned, I'm gonna have to ask Mietz what he thinks and such. owo

*blows a raspberry*

This will be more aimed towards other artists in case there are any that read this.
But do you ever experience this where you might have a pretty neat idea of what to draw, but you feel like you should do it from a different and more advanced perspective, because you feel like just drawing it from a horizontal angle is too amateurish?

If you don't get what I mean I mean like having this pic: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14844788/
drawn so it's viewed from over the shoulder of Jon just to have a more complex perspective.

So why do people add me to their steam or skype contacts and message me maybe once or twice before never messaging me again? @_@
I try a few times to initiate a conversation but never get a reply back so...? What's the deal?
Just something I find a bit annoying, any thoughts on this?

Like the title of this journal says I am back.
I've had a good time and it's been great to see again if just for two weeks.´
I will try to pick up where I left off with commissions as soon as possible.
Thank you for being patient.

As for the charity auction the winner is with $30.
I had hoped for more but I am sure still appreciates it.

It's possible that I am taking on too many projects at once, but I promised I would help in whatever way I could with his fundraising.
My idea is to have an auction where everyone can place a bid, and the highest bidder will get any drawing they wish from me, with the money going to Rubbertex.

I figure the bidding time can take place while I am away for vacation, so when I come back I will announce the winner, sounds good?
If people want it I could even take the top 3 bidders and put them into a drawing together if they so wish.
We can discuss it once I am back and have declared a winning bidder to decide exactly what you would like to see done. ^^

You can post your bids here in this journal, and lets say the auction starts at $10 with a minimum raise of 2 dollars.
Have fun. :)

~Jon

Just letting you people know that I will be going on vacation starting this Friday, and will be gone for two weeks.
I won't be able to work on any commissions or otherwise promised pics during that time and I hope everyone will be okay with waiting that long.
I'll try to pick up the next one as soon as I get back.

~Jon

I'm open. <:3
Might just draw the next part in the faggy dragon "series" first. :P

I haven't shared this with a lot of people...
But , my husband moved today back to Poland.
He was unable to find work here in Sweden, and our economical crisis together with the pain of watching him waste away in our apartment drove us to the drastic action of letting him move back to his country, where he is more likely to find work.
Once he does and we know it is stable and well paid enough to support two people I will follow him.
This may take months tho... we simply do not know and as a result we are forced to live apart from each other for the first time since we moved together, almost 5 years ago.
This puts an enormous strain on both of us, and looking around in this silent and empty apartment without him makes it almost feel like he died, even tho I know I can just give him a phone call whenever I want.

I am sure I will adjust to this as more time passes, and I dearly hope the same goes for him, because what's worse then my own suffering is knowing the love of my life is suffering as well...

The first few years of our relationship we had a long distance relationship and it worked out fine, and I hope that soon enough it will be that once more.
And that time flies and that we can be reunited once more...

Sorry for sounding so sappy.

I'm making this new list just to help me keep track of whoever it is that should be next. |3
Remember I am always open for commissions, just let me take a breather once in a while~
No? get back to work you slave? ...okay ;_; *whipped*

I just want to know why so many people go for this.
You pay triple or more the price to just have your 'sonas face drawn on an already pre-drawn picture.
I draw whatever you like and charge a quarter of what these auctions can go at, but if you want to pay me $100 for it go right ahead. X3

I'm just trying to understand why it's become such a fad.
It is definitely making more money for the artist, but it also feels like such a sham to pay for something where you don't even get to decide whats it going to be...

Hey folks!
I would just like to ask the people who are currently waiting for me to get off my fat butt and draw their commission to start sending in all the specs they have for their desired pics. ^^

I would like to try and finally get a move on and not take three months per client as it sometimes feels like it takes.

So gimme all your references and ideas for what should be drawn so that I can start doodling even when waiting for replies from some of you. ^^

Tell me if you what type of coloring you want, what the general idea is and which characters it involves.

Pricing we settle later in private, but just so you get a general idea, expect to pay between 20-40 USD per drawing, and that's for a single drawing without extra panels.

I'm under attack by a crazy person!
He's spamming and harrassing me, how do I make it stop? D8

Send help.

I'm just doing a list in no particular order of the people who's commissioned me, mostly for myself to keep track of.

Hello my friends and enemies!

I'm thinking it's time I started earning some dough again from drawing smut that I otherwise will do for free anyway. X3
Now I have gotten a fair bit of notes over time and I'm afraid I can't remember who or if I promised anyone I would do them first,
so would it be okay if you called it out here or in a new PM to me if you've been waiting patiently for me to let you know when I am free? D:
Otherwise I guess you can still just dump a reply or note if you want me to draw you something. X3

My prices still start at around 30 USD (But I gladly accept euros or swedish kronor :V) for a pic with a single character.
Then we'll adjust the price up or down depending on how many characters you want in it... what type of coloring you want... does it look good or bad bla bla bla...
Just pay me what you think is fair. X3

~Jon

This is something I haven't told that many people about, as I am generally somewhat uncomfortable about standing in the spotlight and receiving compliments from people. ^^;
But as of now as I write this journal, I am happily married to
For me the whole day has been an emotional roller coaster, but I can with confident say that it has been the best day of my life, and I hope to savor these memories for years to come.

~Jon

*inhale*

This is mostly directed towards the people I already have in my contacts on steam and skype.
I have quite a few of you but I can count on maybe two fingers how many of you I talk on a regular basis.
Am I that boring? Why won't any of you open up a chat with me? :<
I know plenty of you are busy with your lives, but am I at the bottom of your priorities of people you'd like to talk to?
It's almost always me who need to open up a chat window with someone if im gonna hear anything from them.
Im just wondering if there is any particular reason for this, cause i'd love to hear from more of you!
You are plenty of interesting to get to know better.
I know that I can be difficult to talk to sometimes, I suck when it comes to thinking of things to say. ^^;
But it just feels like such a shame to have that big list of names and feeling like I don't know any of them. :<

So let's be friends! ^^

*exhale*

I've decided that after I am done with the commissions I currently have on my plate I'm gonna take a break from them for a bit to give myself time to recharge my batteries and just do a few drawings for fun at a pace I am comfortable with to avoid the stress I am currently feeling.

If you asked that I draw for you but told me you wanted to wait a bit for whatever reason I'm afraid you are gonna have to wait until I feel ready to open up commissions again as I don't wish to go around waiting for you to be ready.
If you want to commission me, please be sure you know what you want, have the money, time, and can respond to PMs regularly ect, before you ask me to put your name down on one of the open slots.

I think it's about time I start taking some commissions again, for now I'll make the list unlimited unless I'm flooded with requests. ^^
My prices like usual are 20 US dollars for a flat colored image with one character, 30 for shaded coloring and an extra 5 per additional character.

Leave a comment here and send me a note of what it is you want and I will do my best to open a dialog with you if you are unsure about something.

Why dun I get any birthday drawings?
Everyone else seem too! ;_;

People must hate me or something. D:

Ho there friends!
I will try to keep this from becoming a wall of text. ^^
I've been interested in getting a tattoo for a few years now, and yesterday a few people at my workplace was discussing tattoos and showing theirs off.
So I brought it up that I wanted to get one as well, but since they know (or at least heard) that I can draw they said I need to design my own tattoo.
So this got me thinking what the heck I would draw that would later be tattooed onto me, and no I don't think tattooing a cock would be a very good idea. ^^;
My question is therefor what you people think I should draw as a tattoo design.
It should fit with my art style, and I don't want it to be skulls'n snakes or the price for noodles in Chinese. X3
I'm fine with it being silly or toony, just not something embarrassing to show off to my parents later. <:3

If any other artistically able people read this, please let me know what you would do if you would or have gotten a tattoo that you drew yourself.

I'm looking forward to hearing ideas from you people. :O3

I think it's about time I make it public that I'm taking commissions again. ^^
Five slots I think will do.
For price you can still expect to pay around 30 USD (or the close equivalent) for a drawing with one character, drawn with background, shading, fancy colors and all that jazz.
15 or 20 for a flat color drawing, and I tend to add on an extra 5 bucks for additional characters.
I will go through what I think you should pay me in private over notes when it's concerning a comic strip or sequence. ^^

So I got an idea yesterday when I was OCing with a friend and ended up doodling a lil toony figure that maybe people would like to buy these things. :O
I was thinking like 5 bucks for one if that isn't too much?
These are really quick to make but it of course depends on the complexity of the character.
I can do em both black and white or colored, I'm thinking maybe I could have one or two bucks more if it's colored? <:3

here are a few examples I made:

EDIT: Just so you know I will resize it and make it a png file for you if you want it as an icon.

I feel like such a fucking hoax sometimes whenever it comes to drawing my bunny character.
For some reason that I don't know, I can NEVER get his face right.

I feel pretty confident in myself to draw most kinds of species, but as soon as it comes to bunnies, or my character in special it looks completely fucked up.
I'm only able to draw his face from the same angle every time, (head tilted to the side) as soon as I try to do it from any angle that would make both his cheeks visible, he ends up looking like some freaky man-mutant who will eat your children.
At best it turns out looking like either a cat or a goat. >_>

I'm sort of feeling at a loss here.
At the moment I'm drawing a very classical toon face and to me it just looks so goooood, but then I put my own next to it and I almost want to vomit. :S

I know I'm overreacting here, but I'm in a constant wish that I would have picked something easier and more interesting to draw, or at least something that I know tends to turn out looking good. :P

Gonna try and stream as I do unrecognisable sketching. |3
It will start in just a few minutes, http://www.livestream.com/jonscoloringbook come and have a look if you want.
