Still alive btw......
Posted 9 years agobut it might not come as a surprise to any of you that i have not kept an interest in producing art anymore.......i know, its a talent wasted but with times and life the way it is, i just cant put the effort in t he hobby like i once did. i had alot of years and made great friends though and im happy about that, but since then, ive taken to new avenues in life and career paths. im very much a worker now and enjoy living a rather adult life haha. but i came back to this page to see how some of you may be doing, or if anyone would even notice a chirp from me after two years. but aside from that, its nice to say hello.
Knock Knock.......
Posted 11 years agoIm thinking about making a comeback after taking a long year to get some priorities straight. ive got alot of dst piled up on my talent left behind but id hope that id have the support and interest i used to have when i was sharing my art with you all.
This means for the time being i am not comfortable accepting commissions or trades/requests as i have not even half assed drawn this whole time. im afraid of my Tablet and have to slowly rebuild my real media stockpile since i have either thrown away, lost or given away my supplies.
its gonna be a long hard road obtaining the items id need to really begin to re apply myself full time to art again but theres always been hope that id begin again with this adventure within the community, the biggest clue to that was ive NEVER lost or thrown out ANY of my previous art and digital submissions. they've never been hidden in a closet...in fact, they have always been somewhere in the house stacked in plain view in a corner, on a desk, or on a table.
Much like the bottle staring at the recovering alcoholic, my art has always been a constant reminder that there was a talent i had never really lost, but there was a point where i had let it consume me a bit more than i should have, and its gotten me a few bad reviews, and cost me a couple followers. For that i can do nothing more than just learn from it and prevent it from being more than a hobby.
Once it became a source of income for me is when things got strained. i loved the interests, the fact that what i did for my own selfless enjoyment and entertainment for the ones who saw a great potential and admiration my hard work. But as it became a "Job" i lost that glow and fulfillment it once had given me. I felt like the line cook at a fast food restaurant during a lunch rush with an understaffed crew. The demand for what i had promised became more of a hostility, i was failing at my job and was poor at providing a great experience. i felt like i had let alot of you down and for that i dont ever think i could repeat the opportunity.
I found myself drawing personal art when there was paid commissions waiting...but when i would set attention to the owed art, it became such a chore because deep down inside it wasint what i signed up for....All of you found your ways to my page because you liked what you have seen, not because i had a for sale sign on my talent. most of you had shared an appreciation for my personality, and that unlike alot of others, i actually made strenuous attempts at communicating with EVERY watcher on my account. the social networking, and friendships made is what kept me going and i wanted nothing more than that.
I had really lost what it all meant to me. but life hasint been all that easy outside of art. having a second child, moving to indiana, moving back to az for half a year, serious medical complications that lead to a coma and extended hospitalizations, moving back to indiana.....it was a very difficult time for myself and family. but i cant help but feel that my art is what had held my head up for the last 7 years and i am ready to open that door again.
I just wanted to share this with you all and hope that 2014 will be the year things begin again for me and sharing my talents.
I do still have a facebook, and tend to frequent that most, so if you would like to, im always looking for more people to talk with and share stuff with. feel free to send me a request.

and the lucky three have been chosen!

got a sexy female character? free sketch!
Posted 13 years agoas title says, im bored and have tonight and tomorrow off work. whos interested? ill randomly select and post up the lucky gals either tonight or tomorrow. fre art has never been soo easy!
who is still fairly active on my list (please reply)
Posted 13 years agoAs titled, id just like to see who is still out there and listening.
haha. I mean, obviously quite a few of you made the journey over
to Ambersnake but id just like to know who out of all my original
watchers and friends are still around on here. Anyone who knows
me well enough can say how social i tend to be and would like to
restart that close friendship with all of you. after all i did make some
of my best RL friends on here and would like to continue to do so.
(its what keeps me drawing for Y'all!
So, if you are still around and interested in what i have to share, just
let me know. this could also be your chance to make any
recommendations to me on what you feel there needs to be changed,
added, see more of, less of, etc. heres hoping to hear from you guys.Coming back to this account.
Posted 13 years agoAfter a bit of thought, i decided that it was better to come back to this account. Most of the newer drawings have been my own anyways and i just seemed silly to keep posting them on the shared account.
Ive already gotten myself fairly established through this account, and its just been more of a frustration starting back over from scratch. So for those of you who had migrated to the other account with me, i appreciate it, but you can all cross the borders back to this account. Cyber Monday Deal! 2$
Posted 13 years agoagain...migrate accounts please.

Guess what!!! ART!!!! OMG LOTS!
Posted 15 years agoYep. dont think ive been a gohst for no reason. ive actually got alot of stuff done lately but the sad honest reality is, i dont have a scanner :( but fear not! i do plan on hijacking someones real soon. just thought id let you all know.
All settled in. (back from hiatus)
Posted 15 years agoGeting settled in my Girlfriends place was tough at first. but not in the sence of not having our own space, privacy, or all that jazz. not at all! just things have been tight planing our social and work lives around going out and visiting family and rips up to show low and apache lake. now that we FINALLY found some good down time we have been able to enjoy eachother alittle more. today was Sashas 22nd birthday and we ate out at olive garden.
With all this change out of the way though, this opens up a whole new time frame for art again. ill be home alot, working out, studying for the Border patrol exam this month and catching up on the god oonly knows how old art trades and such i owe. not to mention the car is 100% paid off and set to be fixed by the end of this week! im soo glad for that. sasha will have something that wond break down or get her tickets!! granted she isint tempted to floor it heheheh. any other questions just comment or note me. im of to bed. nice to be back

IMPORTANT! Anyone have episodes of Hardcast still?
Posted 15 years agoive been curious for some time now
working on ref templates
Posted 15 years agothings sill suck pretty bad but im hoping that it will take off
WATCH IT!!!! this is what we do in the hot arizona sun!
Posted 15 years ago10 dollar referance sheets with QUICK completion
Posted 15 years agoIn desperation for vehicle repair, im putting myself up for reference sheets with front and back views. These WILL be completed FAST because ill be making two templates (male and female) stuff like hair, ears and tails will be custom to your character but body shape and pose will be the same. i really need my car in safe running order or else its bound to driveway status until that tire is replaced. paypal only please, its easier to transfer to my roommate who in turn can toss me the cash in person. if and Any surplus money is made it will go directly into my saving up to get back to cali.
The goal is to be as close to 50 dollars for the tire as possible. i would GREATLY appreciate any help you can give, and please, if you are also financially handicapped, simply passing this journal on in your own would be JUST as helpful as 50 dollars cash.
Once again, thank you all. note me and we can get started.update
Posted 15 years agobrakes are fine....but my rear right tire is showing the steel belting.....snd go figure, its the only tire on the car that isint under warranty...fml
Good news / Sad News: The problem is...
Posted 15 years agoA
s most of you may know i have been very in and out with art lately, and trades have not been spared from this monster ive grown to call, loss of focus. alot of this happens because of a Bi-annual Relapse into depression that ive been battling since i took myself off medication for personal reasons. not that my mental health is any excuse, but i have noticed in the past that clients ceased to care and would rather the final outcome of my hard practiced talent on a piece of paper, then the better health of myself. with that said, if i owe you a trade still, i still know who you are so no need to jump out and say "ME ME ME" ill let you know as soon as its done.
Another fact most of you may know is that i had been gone in California for a while and recently moved back to tucson....well, theres an almost certain Possability that i will be returning to Oceanside CA. next month. some of you will call this good news, and some will find this very sad. I loved tucson. its been my home for 20 years, and in those years, ive faught so many battles. mentally, Socially, financially, and romantically. But this is where it starts again. but this time, things can for once become better. better atmosphere, Better financial possabilities, better motivation, better connections to friends and family. but most importantly, a better connection with someone very close to my heart. Not a day goes by that im not missing Her. ill find myself waking up at odd hours and i could swear i was still in San Diego and become thrilled with short lived excitement. so yes, California is where im headed again. but this time, Tucson will be just a place to visit.
The problem is....
The problem is at this point, The car needs new brake pads, an oil change and oil filter. all of which i can do myself, but financially....impossible. Even if i were to get every thing i needed to secure the move, id still be stuck with a car that wouldint be in ready condition. and the last thing i want to do is take the car as is and risk being stranded with no phone. so im going to have to pull some strings NOW if i want to get back.
At this point, i REFUSE to wait until september... theres nothing here for me and jobs out there i can start looking at. whatever i need to do, it will be worth the rush and struggle. if not, only for myself and another.
