Spirit Animal and Starting Commissions
Posted 3 years agoMy favorite animal is the elephant. My Chinese zodiac animal is the rooster. And my zodiac dinosaur, according to the Internet, is the baryonyx. I wanted to know what my spirit animal was, so I decided to take a test online to find out. One of the questions was which Hogswarts house do I belong to, so I had to find that out first. I am Ravenclaw by the way. Anyway, after taking the test, my spirit animal...was a panda! I could not believe it! What can I do with these creatures? I was thinking of a sit-rom-com of them. We'll see...
I am also thinking about doing commissions. Maybe earn a few bucks on the side. I feel like I am getting better at my drawings. The ones I have been submitting are a fraction of how many drawings I really have. I have a folder with over 1300 of them! Maybe, I should try my hand at helping others expand their works. I would like to know where to start, what is the usual/average starting price. I usually do 2D color and b/w. I can also do rough sketches and apply shadows (standard and light (applied to the ground)). I do not use advanced programs like Photoshop, just Sketchbook.

Problems...Again
Posted 8 years agoI am sorry for not posting anything in a while. I am having issues with my tablet(s). I'll try to draw some things on my new laptop; it is a convertible laptop and has a stylus that I can use to draw and take notes. It isn't as accurate as my Samsung tablet(s), but I think I can work with it.
Lately, I am getting frustrated and upset by problems happening for no reason and I cannot solve them. I lost the tablets that I have been using to issue I cannot solve. I accidentally dropped my tablet I cannot use my S Pen ever since then. I bought another tablet to replace that one, but the Wi-Fi wouldn't turn on. What is the point of using a tablet without Wi-Fi? I tried to find solutions online to fix these problems, but nothing works.
And that is where I get angry.
Every solution, every endeavor, every effort I use to fix the problem, IT DOESN'T WORK. I go online to look for ANY solution. I feel that either people don't have the answer, the answer(s) is/are irrelevant to the issue, or I don't understand a lick about it. And I get even more upset when I read how the answer solved other people's problem(s) but it doesn't work for me. I have the same issue, why doesn't it work for me.
I am sorry for the ranting, but that's how I feel. I wish everything I do works for me and the answer to the problem I have works.

Drawing Again
Posted 8 years agoI got a bigger tablet so I can do my digital artwork now. I still do traditional drawings on paper. I thought about doing the main characters on my tablet and coloring them and doing support and other characters on paper.
Also, check out my artwork on deviantart.

Back Again
Posted 11 years agoSorry if I haven't been updating or uploading for awhile. I am going to try harder this time and share my drawings with you all. You can see more of my drawings at my deviantArt website (http://jstewiv.deviantart.com/). I will continue to upload drawings here.
I am still interested in helping others with any comic ideas or submissions.

New Year, New Discoveries
Posted 12 years agoI purchased a new convertible laptop in which I started using it to draw some of my characters on it. They look much better now that I added color to them. I still draw traditional art and scan them into my computer. I will try to upload my drawings, but I also want to upload other artists' characters. I want to know how to get permission to do so. Please reply if you want me to draw some of your characters.
I also did some adult drawings and want to know if you want to see them as well.

New Year's Resolution
Posted 13 years agoNew Year's Resolution Number 32: Upload more drawings into FurAffinity and Deviantart
Windows 8
Posted 13 years agoWindows 8 has finally arrived...well for me anyways. I finally purchased an upgrade for Windows 8. I downloaded and installed the two Previews (Consumer and Release) and I loved Windows 8. There were many mix reviews about the newest operating system, but I love it. I will admit that I liked Windows Vista when it came out - it looked better than the Windows XP. Then there was Windows 7 which apparently everyone likes...yeah yeah.
Meaningless Life
Posted 13 years agoI'm sorry that I missed a Saturday to upload new pictures, I thought I had to do an errand. The Labor Day weekend went by so fast...it's not fair.
Nothing I do or say matters anymore. Nevertheless I carry on. Sharing pictures is something I love doing. Maybe I ought to draw pictures about the current mood I'm in, which is still down and almost depressing.
Why does everyone have the good life but not me?

An Ordinary Life
Posted 13 years agoHow is it that everyone has something to write about almost every day?
It doesn't matter if it's here in FurAffinity or Facebook, everyone has something to write about.
Except me...
I don't write often, so I guess I have a boring life. Nothing exciting happens to me - except maybe at work. Still, I'm just an ordinary person who does nothing exciting in his life.

New episodes!
Posted 13 years agoI'll try to upload more drawings Friday and Saturday. The next two batch has the most characters yet. And I'll also draw special drawings for those that wanted to do art trades. I do not stop with just one drawing of another artist...
Starting an Art Trade
Posted 13 years agoMy first art trade with someone...so awesome!!!!
I think I'll start an art trade myself. Don't know how that works, but I guess I create slots. How do I add those thumbnails of other artists. I'm thinking I post a link like this:
SLOTS (I'll start with 5 slots)
1.
konanarillah
2.
SWATKats-Fanatic
3.
varus-argo
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

Early Start
Posted 13 years agoI decided to post some new pictures earlier because I'll be out of town, mostly all day. I hope you all like them. Also, I'm still interested in doing art trades. I want to test my drawing abilities. It is limited to pencil works, though, but I believe I'm pretty good at artwork.
Art Trade
Posted 13 years agoI like to do art trades with people if they are interested. Of course, my art is penciled and 2D (Adobe Photoshop is too sophisticated for me... :( ).
One Set Down...Many More To Go
Posted 13 years agoI finally finish submitting the characters of the original Sumo Dudes series. Now I'm going to upload the next batch. I'm also doing this on deviantART if anybody's interested.
How does comissions work? Does someone ask for a character to be drawn? Do I have to ask for a character to be drawn? I drawn other artists' characters and I want to know how to get permission to submit it on the website.
Thank you adding my drawings to your favorites, thank you for your shout-outs, thank you for taking the time to look at my creations. I really like this website and everyone does a really good job at drawing. I hope to learn from your techniques.

Finally Decide to Share
Posted 13 years agoI finally decided to submit my artwork on the Internet. I consider myself to be a good artist, but I'm definitely not in the same level(s) as the others here. I'm trying to get everyone to see my drawings, but there is this problem with "Image Not Found". I use three different sources (Windows 7, Windows XP Mode, my laptop) which yielded different results.
What I'm trying to say is that is everybody seeing the images? If not, what do I need to do to correct it? I tried the basic and advanced troubleshooting advices the site has offered and I even put in a help ticket on the matter. Any suggestions or advices would be helpful.
