Reflection.
Posted 9 years agoIf you know me, I'm pretty sure you know what this is about. If you don't, I've repeated the following sentence that by now I'm pretty hollow to it.
RedSavage, or CoyoteCaliente, or as I knew her, Tess, died about a year ago. Within a week it'll be a full 365 days since what was essentially the best friend I have ever known last spoke to me.
I could go on about how Red was an amazing person. I could, too. But she wouldn't appreciate it. She appreciated I saw her for the flawed person she was. I didn't see the triumphs she made and saw only that. I remembered her failures. I remember feeling so uncomfortable when she asked me for even more money when I had none. And it was that memory that made it all that much fucking better when she got out. Got clean. Got better.
She was just starting to be truly and honest to god happy when she was taken from us. And the old man who did it will sooner die a natural, peaceful death than ever see justice. After that day, I became a huge advocate for driving tests every two years for everyone older than 60. I went through all the stages of grief, but stayed at anger. I'm so fucking angry.
Anger is a part of me, now. I mean, it always was. You don't go through the kind of life I've gone through without feeling some measure of anger. I don't want to construe or put words in her mouth. Instead, I reread the words she told me about me. I could copy paste some stuff, but it feels cheap.
everything feels cheap. When I'm forced to think about my loss again, it happened to another person. The person who found out their craziest love died suddenly in a car crash is a fucking stranger. I didn't have a chance to slow down. The world keeps moving after someone dies. No one cares that you're sad. And I had the bitter lesson to internalize in the real world. In the real world, where day in and day out where you continue to bust your ass, you can't fucking stop.
And so I didn't stop. I failed a class one semester. Ended another semester with a 1.3 GPA. The career a honor student, now on the cusp of being kicked out of school. Obviously I was in pain. I can't really talk about my pain, though. Its either making it about myself, or being insensitive to another person's loss. So I spent a lot of time building up everyone. Not at the expense of myself- I'm not a fucking martyr. The Real World doesn't need any more, and being a self appointed, arrogant Martyr is just a pathetic title to have.
Its cliche to to say that, when Tess died, a part of me died with her. Sure. I think that's been the toughest part in all of this- in that capacity, many people lost a best friend. I lost someone that I loved, a romantic parter. A lover. She was my lover. She was supposed to be my maid of honor in my wedding in two years. My child's godmother. My neighbor, even.
But Tess was a person with whom I healed. Prior to her, terrible things were done to me in the name of Love. And then she came along, and showed me that Love could come inside myself. It was so pure, and optimistic, and gentle. She was so full of light- and this isn't even a romanticization of her death. In her life, while alive, I genuinely believed this of her. She was the kite I looked up at. I was the ground she was tethered to. When she died, we still needed each-other like that. She was my optimism. I was her realism.
And now in her death, some folks did come to me for comfort. I'm sorry to say I wasn't able to comfort them the way she could've. I'm not like her. I will never be like her. I don't WANT to be like her. She wanted me to be me and in her death I will not perverse her fucking corpse to feel comfortable. I am me, sans a person dear to me. That's all. I will not force myself to self imagined grandeur.
Red's death affected me in the way that it'll be a part of me permanently. That much I can say. And since the anniversary is soon, what have I done? Would she have been proud of me, and all the things I've changed? I know she would've. But that doesn't comfort me. She's dead. Any part of her that exists now is in the memories of the precious few that /actually/ knew her, and her writing.
As for what I'm doing about my memories of Tess? It was her dream to be published-- to have her stuff in a book, so I'm helping her do that. If you're curious, read this thread. If you can't help make it happen, I don't care. I just need an email to send you a .pdf of the book. I don't care about your relationship to me, I care about your relationship with her.. And if it'd make you happy to have a copy, I'd love for you to have one.
I miss her terribly. But I will deal, and I will heal. I can comfort myself with the fact that she loved me, and I loved her. All the way up until the end. Cherish your friends. Don't fucking disappear on people. People are not your amusement, or your puppets. Look around you. Everyone you know has a chance to die. Be forcefully taken from you. Tell them you fucking cherish them. Give a fuck about social norms. Just once, you want someone to have something from you that says, "I cared about you." I had that for her. A pink bunny peep she knew I'd hate, but she'd still got it and slept with it so that it'd smell like her when she gave it to me. She had that for me, in a stupid fucking charm I had stolen from walmart. It was blue on one side with an eye, red on the other with a yin and yang. IT was on her keychain, found at the scene of her death. I was with her all the way to the end. I'm gutted for everyone who didn't have that. Take this ugly death as a lesson to love the alive fucking fiercely.
I'm writing this journal out to just say, "Hey. I'm fucking miserable and have been for a year. Carry on with your life." I'm just accepting this emotion I have. Its the first step to healing, I guess. Hah. she always told me to write out how I feel. I bet she didn't think I'd do it to cope with her death.

Gone camping! 5/28-5/30
Posted 9 years agoHorray! Have a safe weekend, my little limes.
Hahahah Weasyl!
Posted 9 years agoOkay, I'm pretty sure I'm going to make weasyl my main. My commissions or anything like that wasn't affected, and every commissioned bit of art will stay right here. So if you bought from me, toootally nothing has changed. I'm just moving my personal stuff and whatnot to here, my Weasyl.
> https://www.weasyl.com/~lemonjackelope <Scanner, Summer, and Sketches Update!
Posted 9 years agoHey nerds.
So! I have a scanner now!!!
Commissions grinded to a slow halt when I couldn't scan anything. Now that I have one, stuff is picking up MUCH quicker.
To add to the quickness, Its now summer for me! That means I'll be doing art 7 days a week instead of only on the weekends.
With that said, I'm now doing something called '20Sketches' Which are fun pencil sketches I get done in less than an hour. Its just a drawing in pencil, then scanned. I've found out a TON of people adore the pencil look, and its the cheapest way to get a full body drawing from me. I'm literally always taking these and turnaround you can expect to be one to three days depending. Fast, huh?
That's all for now. You should see me starting to upload other places on the web (mainly Weasyl, FA and tumblr) and making an image based commission sheet.
Over the next few weeks, I'll be working hard on getting up to date with the commissions I due owe. those I'm exeptionally late on are getting freebie 20sketches from me.
That's all :>

I now have a Trello! plus other news
Posted 9 years agoHello! Its been a while. Some updates: I'm out of school! My cat is sucking all of my income, and now the lil bastard has fleas. They itchy as fuck. I now have a more structured commission set up, and yes, I am going through and finishing everything owed/late before my break ends JANUARY 22ND of 2016. After that, I'll drastically shorten my queue so I can still work, but not pile on myself too much and avoid folks waiting.
To those I'm late with: A sincere apology. I don't talk about my IRL life enough to really give context, but this bit I give I hope will make me sound less blowing-you-of, which I sincerely don't mean. Bo the cat needed 600 dollars dropped on him suddently, and I took on a lot of extra commissions to pay that. I've since then been playing catch-up on top of doing over 18+ credits at school (Regular full time is 12 credits).
Another bit of minor news: My Tablet Broke!. But fear not, I'm 200/220 there, as in as of writing this I only need 20 bucks to cover the tax of the new tablet. Sketches are now only 20 bucks for this duration, wink wonk.
I'm now also publically saving up for a scanner!!! Quicker and prettier pencil sketches, faster commission process and everything!
Thanks for listening now.

Feat. Me && I'll feat. you!
Posted 10 years ago// Nice, nice. //Step 1: Make a feature artists journal and put me on the list, include a link to one of your favorite pieces of mine.
Step 2: Link the journal below here in the comments
Step 3: Keep the journal posted for at least 24hrs.
Step 4: I'll pick out my favorite piece by you and add you to the list below of featured artists as well!
This is for creators who do commissions, artists, writers, etc, not commissioners, so people can get some much-needed networking and community presence.
I'm gonna start with 15 people for this first journal, then I'll post more later on, so people can easily click you guys and no one gets lost in the sauce, so don't fret if you're not on this first post!
1. growlybeast // fav piece // Realtalk. Growly does this crazy thing with hand drawn texture I'm totally in love with. Everything feels real and takes up space within the pic. I love their dimensionality.
2. thebravelittle // fav piece // I mean, its an ass pic and I love asses. But what I love about this particular butt pic is that it actually LOOKS soft. There's a lot of artists out there that draw places on the body that'd have fat as hard as a rock- unbending to their environment. I like that bit of reality in my fantasy art.
3. fionacakes // fave piece // I'm a sucker for curly hair. Even more of a sucker for creative characters with creative cultural backgrounds.

Posted 10 years agoSeriously- Mel Amie was not a good choice. I have LemonJackelope as literally everything else, and it got real confusing real fast. So now its also just LJ on here.
LAST TIME YOU NEED TO EVER WATCH ME LOL.
