Here, let me explain why,

I have been trying to get a username I could easily trademark. While I thought I had it a few times, it turned out during research that someone else held the trademark and they just sat on it. I admit a few changes were personal, I just wanted my username to reflect my character. Well, in the end, I have been holding strong with and plan to keep and or trademark it. So if you care to see my newer work, please follow the link to my new account.

Thanks for watching!!

Hello everyone,

I just want you guys to know that I have moved to:

whimsicalwyrm whimsicalwyrm whimsicalwyrm whimsicalwyrm whimsicalwyrm whimsicalwyrm whimsicalwyrm whimsicalwyrm whimsicalwyrm whimsicalwyrm

REASONS

I hated being called Naff

In England, Naff is slang for pretty much anything bad, and It used to hurt being called it. A lot has gone on as well, and I want to start out fresh, at least to myself. I have been really productive as well, so I hope to get all my commissions done as soon as possible. I am not trying to hide from anyone as well!! So if someone is looking for Naffiro, please point them to WhimsicalWyrm. I will be posting this on every plattform I have been on, as I have changed everything of mine to reflect the change to whimsicalwyrm. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you follow me there ^^
Hugs all!!

Hello guys,

First let me make it clear that I have ONE MAIN Account here on FA, and it is
Please, if you need to contact me here on FA, Please note THAT account!! If you message this account by accident, that is alright, since I will be checking to make sure I didn't miss anyone!!

I am finally taking steps to become a much better artist for you guys, and that means transparency! So I have started a Trello, which can be seen publicly here:
https://trello.com/b/kEH9H0kO/naffiros-commissions

If I owe you a commission, and you do not see yourself on my Trello, then please contact me asap via note here on FA.
Please include the following in it:

* Date you got your commission

* The description of said Commission (s) If there are more than one, just list them each by date ordered.
*Please include EVERY detail you can think of for the commission, this way I get it done right and to your exact specifications. If there is something you want me to finesse, just say artist freedom.

* This is important, ANY and ALL references you have for the commission, that includes anything you may want specifically in your commission, like the picture of the jewel that goes on said character's choker, for example.

Now, I want to apologize for how slow I have been in the past. This is changing now, and set work days have been laid out for me by my friend who is helping me, Fenni wolf. I work Wednesday through thursday on backlogged commissions for as many hours per day that I can handle (I do still have a lot of disabilities, so please bare with me). I work friday and saturday on new commissions. Those commissions taken are to be completed THAT DAY IN STREAM, so as not to add to the backlog. In time with this schedule, I will get everyone's commission out to them asap. Commissions in backlog are being completed from oldest to newest too. So if you have been waiting a long time, please put the date in so you can be moved forward in the que. I know I am only working 4 days a week, but in time, I am hoping to push it to 5 days per week, and above that, I want to train myself to be able to work 8 hours per working day. That is my goal.

How does Trello Work?
I will be moving the files of who I am working on into the "List Of The Day" so you know who is being worked on each day, Each trello card contains goals within them so you can see the progress bar by opening your card. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask me here. But please, if you are posting about an owed commission, please do so in notes, because I will be saving those to a special folder.

Thank you guys so much for baring with me, it is so greatly appreciated ;^; And I WILL do right by you all and keep the trello as updated as possible.

Once again, my trello can be seen here:

Now, The reason for the emergency is because I have an injured pup in need of assistance.
Her name is Avah, and we have been looking to find her a home that can better care for her needs. We really wanted to keep her, but her bone disease needs more medical monitoring than I am able to afford for her ._.; We have been desperately trying to get her leg set... But we haven't been able to raise enough yet. For more information, please visit her fund me page, https://paypal.me/pools/c/8ep0jyTa1K
Any donations towards her fund are GREATLY appreciated!!

If you can't afford a commission, Please take the time to put up a journal letting people know I have Emergency Commissions open!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know many of you thought I passed away, and I did come close... But I made it through the surgeries!!! And once I recover, I will be completing all commissions and eventually taking on more ^^.
I want to thank any and all active watchers who stayed with me through all of this!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it ;;
Just, thank you all so much...

I wanted to keep this a secret, but it looks like I have no choice but to update everyone. I had my first heart attack a few weeks ago, and have been in and out of cardiologist appointments since. Constantly off to the er for heart palpitations or getting calls from my heart monitor people about skipping beats and premature beats, all of which leave me winded and scared. To make things worse, I ran out of disability appointments and have been trying to pay for them out of pocket. This however, has left me out of money for any food over the holidays, as well as out of dog food. We really need about $200 to get through to my next disability check.

If anyone has the ability to donate, I will be giving out some small prizes to donors. To donate, all you have to do is paypal it to shesta[at]inkpaw.com

I will be sure to give good updates, and hopefully when my doctor clears me, I can work again in January or February. Any help is more than appreciated. And if you can't donate, could you please repost this journal to get a farther reach to people? That's all we need, and from the bottom of my heart, thank you...

Sincerely,
Fox

________________________________________________

I really hate to ask this, but a friend of mine urged me to finally see that I really need help...

You see, after all the surgeries I've had, appendectomy, cancer removal, ongoing reactions to needed medications, and very very weak immune system, I can't get better, or afford a lot of the medications that will get me better.

Between my neurologist, my surgeon, my physchiatrist, and pain clinic, not to mention normal doctors, even on disability I am unable to obtain all the appointments I require. I'm on about 18 medications right now, and can't afford 3, sinch they run close to 800$ us. So I needed to take a moment and reach out for help. I can't offer anything in return though, which hurts me most of all.

I also can not do digital commissions as my hard drive failed. I lost a lot of commissioned work that must now be redone, but I just don't have a hard drive to work with. It looks like the hard drive will cost me about $150.00 us as well. But all I make in a month off disability goes straight to bills and medications.

So I must ask, if anyone out there can spare a bit to donate to my cause. I hope to one day walk without a cane, aND to live my life normally, but I have to get through these hurdles first.

My goal right now is to make $800.00 for my medications, and $150.00 for a hard drive. Of course the meds come first and hard drive second. But I want to get my digital Co missions done for their owners. Please oh please understand why there is a wait.

And to those waiting on badges, there is a shortage of copic markers worldwide, so I will ask if any of you would like an upgrade to watercolor instead so as to get them in a more timely manner.

Commissioners please let me know, I just want you to be happy.

And if you are able to donate, my paypal is shesta[at]inkpaw.Com even a dollar is a big help guys, and it's the thought that counts. Darksoulwolf will be kind enough to give a handmade plush to anyone who donates over $150.00 towards the cause. Please feel free to take a look at his plush, they're adorable. And if you donate that mush, please contact him for your plush.

I know times are hard, so please don't feel bad if you can not help out, but spreading the word would help enourmously. Thank you all again, even just for reading this, I really appreciate it. *hugz all* and hopefully I'll be back to art as soon as I am getting better.

To those I met at fwa, thank you so much for your kindness, and to those who helped me when I passed out, I can't begin to thank you for your help and support, I only wish I were able to stay the whole convention, unfortunately my health just wouldn't allow it ._.

Again, thank you all,
Sincerely,
KR Vashity M.

Ok,

Hi guys, it's been a long few months, and I'm not in the hospital as often. So I have been diligently working on traditional commissions as well as digital. I deeply apologize for being so late with your art, I swear I'll catch up by mid march, assuming I won't be in the hospital again.

You see, I've had a lot of things go wrong, so I will finally share why the art is so late. I have been to the hospital in the beginning for abdomen pain. Turned out, my appendix burst. They rushed to remove it, but during surgery, they found cancer on my appendix. The drugs and medications for this has been unbearable. Then, I started going blind. Turned out I had my liver damaged by tegretol. There was talk of a need for a transplant... I thought I was going to die... but after days of working with poison control, my liver started to heal. It's not fully better yet, but it's on its way. Now, to counter my seizure med taken away, I needed another to replace it. The new meds make my sodium levels drop below dangerous levels, and when I have a sodium low, I get terrible shaking fits, blurry vision, and anxiety and fear that is off the charts. No matter how much visteril they gave me at the er, nobody can stop the shaking and inability to sleep. Unfortunately, in most of these problems, I was unable to work on anything. Now while I'm still battling this, work comes and gets done slowly. I deeply apologize for your wait times on this stuff.

That is all I want to share at the moment, since there is a host of problems that even stem from my morphine (prescribed daily morphine meant for heavy pain, not street bought)

Well, my mind is a horrible jumble thanks to my meds, so I hope this all made sense to you guys.

Again, I deeply apologize for the hold-up for getting your work done, I can't tell you how much my heart aches to see all these yet to be completed commissions about.

Now, at this stage, I just want to deeply thank everyone who has been patient so far. You are all saints for being so supportive during this time when I need it the most. I can't tell you how much I thank you for waiting so long yet being so supportive as well. Your support has and is keeping me going.

Hugz for all of you, even if you may be perturbed, I still thank you. Just, thank you all. <3 <3 <3

*hugz* to everyone

Hello guys and gals, all future art and communications will be found on



I hope you join me there!!

Same will be happening on my lazeros account on deviantart. Just a helpful reminder ^^

Hello everyone!!!
I may be a little sick right now, but I am more than on the road to recovery. I just need one more surgery, but other than that, I feel good enough to get back to commissions and truly put my all into them!!

I wanted to take some time and just thank you all so much!!!! If not for your help, I never would have known what was wrong, or get all the surgeries I needed to survive these problems. I'm just so thankful I'm literally crying as I write this... Thank you, thank you all!!!!!

To my commissioners,I am back to work and hope to have all traditional mailed soon, and all digital to be done Tuesdays and fridays. All will be 8hr days, and all digital will be broadcast live on picarto. No worries, I will always link to the stream each time.

Thank you so much everyone, you have all been the light of my life as I went through this.

Also, a very special thanks to darksoul-wolf for being there for me as well as for reading to me while I couldn't see, helping my commissioners when they felt nervous or frightened. All those sleepless nights at the hospital just to stay by my side so I wasn't alone... Thank you so much...

Thank you all...

Ps- anyone owed a poster or a plush please contact him for what you would like :icondarksouHello everyone!!!

Hugz all.

For word on plush or posters from the donations, please ask darksoul.

Deep thoughts/Rant

Hello all you sweet and amazing people <3

I have no words to convey how much I love each and every one of you. how much I appreciate the well wishes, The birthday wishes, and especially the help that has been given to me in order to get well again... thank you, thank you all!
I bet by now you realize that this isn't a rant, nor does it contain one, though I do hope you read on...

I'm just so overwhelmed by the love you guys have given me, by the patience of my commissioners, I'm just literally in tears as I write this.

I never realized, or took a moment to think of how much I took my vision for granted... As many of you know, I have a lot of health problems for a person of my young age, and have really become bitter about my jealousy of those who could perform such simple tasks as standing without pain... How foolish I was, how childish.
I never even once appreciated or thanked my lucky stars for the things I DID have. One of those special gifts, being the ability to see...

When I am blind, I lose everything I know, what few special things that made me smile from day to day, like you guys, were gone from me. My art, my ability to draw, gone. The light from my life had now become a scary darkness previously unknown to me. I could have my eyes wide open, yet I couldn't even get enough bearings to make it to the restroom on my own. I felt so much more lost.

But you guys kept me strong with your loving comments and support.  Darksoulwolf read them to me daily, some really kept me going. Thanks  skysealer  sirfy  mookyvet  darkjaguar01  traediras TCKFV, just to name some people, to know you haven't forgotten me brings warmth to my heart <3 <3 To so many of you I haven't names here, some of you I thank even more. I just still have a bit of trouble seeing DA names, so can't name you yet, but please don't feel forgotten!

I have been through much testing, and a few spinal taps to lessen the fluids I will soon explain, but am now on the road to recovery!!

You see, I had been taking epilepsy pills for a long time. Part of my daily 4 time a day pill regimen, which is a lot to say the least. but suddenly, I started to have my vision fail on me... I got scared, but I knew it happened a few times a month without reason and none of my doctors had ever paid attention to the complaint, as so many other things were on their minds with my health. So needless to say, I just let it go for years. we're talking about at least 11 years now. Even my friends and family thought I was just being over dramatic when it happened for all that time, so I just learned to live with it.

But suddenly it began to worsen come March... It started to become twice or more a week, and last more than just a few hours.. I started to get scared, and so brought it up again to my doctors. One finally noticed swelling in the back of my eyes. And so the long adventure to find out what it was began. But soon, doctors were baffled! they didn't know why. So testing began. I passed eye tests since I was always fine during the exams...Hate when symptoms aren't there while they are checking >> But what could I do? it was hard to get these appointments, and I couldn't poof my symptoms there on demand... So they said nothing was wrong, and I was just being paranoid or something. ;; I felt humiliated to say the least.

Soon I started asking to go to the ER. That's when they started to see things wrong!!! FINALLY, I thought, AN ANSWER!!---but they were baffled over the swelling of my eyes, and sent me home instead with a recomendation to get a brain scan ._.
The price was just too great for my family and I. Even my friends pitched in, but it was not enough. But you guys ;; You guys helped me et that brain scan, and a world of answers began to unfold!!!

I finally got results that showed a sack of brain fluids that looked like a giant tumer behind my eyes! The ER spinal tapped me immediately! And I could see a bit!!!

Unfortunately, they sent me home again, but this time telling me I need to have more taps until they figured out the root cause.

Again!! You guys helped me get a spinal tap ;; I cried so hard at the outpoor of support!!!

I still couldn't see, and needed additional taps... I knew I couldn't ask you guys once more, so I began to accept my new fate. But then, one of my aunts took out an equity loan for me!!!! I was just, just to overwhelmed with everyones love and support while I was completelt blind.

Finally--- finally, three taps later, an answer had appeared!!! Even though I had been on Tegretol for so many years, They found I was having one of its rarest side effects!!!! Overcreation of spinal fluid, memory loss, vision loss, and loss of balance just to name a few!

Now while they cannot take me off of tegretol completely due to my conditions... They took me off the highest dose. They said soon, my vision will return entirely!!!!!! I'm just so releived!!!! So Happy!!! and so, so very greatful for my gift of vision to return to me.

It will take some time for the drug to leave my blood stream, and for levels to finally lessen, and I will have to learn to live with the extra pain that comes with a smaller dose, But I am just so greatful, greatful to be able to see again, and greatful to have you all!!! Thank you for your support!!!!

I will begin commissions again mid august!!!!!!!!!

And if you could all please spread this thank you to as many people as you did when I needed your help, I would be even more greatful!!!!!!! Please, ring the bells!! Tell everyone how much they mean to me, and please, please learn too, that no matter how tough you think you have it in life, there is always something to be greatfull for.

Thank you all again, I love each and every one of you!!!!

Hello, here to update you on Lazeros's health.


She, Myself, her family, and her friends all want to thank all of you for your help and support thus far!!!!!

You have been amazing in support, and she can't wait to be able to see enough to thank each and every one of you herself.

I'll answer comments as soon as I can, I'm so sorry about not getting to a lot of them yet, but I have been reading them to her!!!!!

THANK YOU ALL, AND SPREAD THE WORD!!!

UPDATE-
here
Between family members and the hearts of you guys, we are really close to being able to afford the spinal tap. I wanted to take a minute and really thank everyone who has spread the word and helped out. The thought of her permenant vision loss has been devastating to her, and you guys have really made it within our reach to do something about it.!

I will try to be contacting you guys individually over being chosen for a shoulder sitter or poster. I apologize for the lateness on this, she's just had so many appointments scheduled for different things it has made getting on pretty difficult.

If we just get a little closer, we will be able to make the appointment!!!!!!

Thank you guys from the bottom of our hearts. Each one of you have played a role, some big, some small, but all together simply amazing!!
