My Revival
General | Posted 12 years agoIt's hard to say what makes an artist's passion come and go. Certainly, we are all moved in ways we do not always comprehend. For me, I honestly was beginning to believe my artistic days were over. I'd not done more than the occasional doodle in years, I'm beginning a career in veterinary medicine... it just didn't seem to be in the cards anymore.
I am not any sort of celebrity and have never claimed to be. I was Guest of Honor at a couple of the early years of OklaCon more because I had good friends there and was a native of the state than because I had any notoriety. To be honest, I never felt my talent was worthy. I went to a high school where my art program was run by a football coach. I have no real formal training whatsoever and never went to art college, though part of me truly wishes I had sometimes.
But recently, though it didn't turn out to be what I had thought it was going to be, a misunderstanding turned into an artistic wake up call and I truly started drawing again. Many of my art supplies and the pieces I'd been working on in the past have been lost or destroyed due to all of the relocating I've had to do since my divorce, but I have just enough that I desire a new start.
If not for anyone else or anything else... I want it for me.
That is all.
Sincerely,
Lightfoot Kyohti

Holiday Doldrums... boo...
General | Posted 17 years agoNo scanner for me. Damned thing's busted. ; - ;
Sorry I didn't come back around to say so sooner. Been hella busy as of late. Unfortunately, production on my commissions has slowed due to some of my more commonly used markers drying out. >.< Nevertheless when the holidays are over and money isn't so darned tight, I will throw myself whole-heartedly into getting them finished. For now, I've been picking around at the ones I can work on until I can get my markers again.
This month especially has been an emotional drag. My favorite fish, Lem, passed away recently. He was a beautiful little Labidochromis Caeruleus, or electric yellow cichlid if you know them by their common name. This one looks like a duller version of him: http://www.zierfischclubbremen.de/l.....-caeruleus.jpg Had him since he was about an inch long... about 3 years. Cichlids are aggressive fishes, so I kept him in his own lil 10-gallon aquarium with towers of real rock to roam around in. He was about 4 inches long and had the prettiest coloring. I called him my little attack fish because he would come out and flash his fins at you until he realised how much bigger you were than him, then he'd fly back behind his little rocks and peer out at you. It reminded me of a dog barking at you from the relative safety of its doghouse. :) So since I gave him the three-flush salute, his tank has been dark and empty. *sigh*
Also I came to find out one of my old co-workers whom I loved like a grandmother had a severe stroke last week. We worked in the kitchen together at a rehabilitation center and she used to love it when I'd be back there, singing in the kitchen. :) Always called me her girl and defended me a few times from some wrongful accusations. Sweetest lil old black lady with bright purple hair you would ever meet. When I'd go home to visit, I'd always try to swing by my old workplace and say hello. Well this last time I went to visit, I decided not to go see her. Figured I'd catch her the next time around. But there won't be a 'next time' now. Gloria is completely paralyzed on her left side and won't be able to go back to work. I asked my mom to send her a card and a singing teddybear to her on my behalf since I cant afford to go down to visit. The bear sings Santa Baby... my favorite Christmas song to sing back when I worked there. I hope it reminds Gloria of how much I am thinking of her and wishing her the best right now.
*SIGH* ... well enough whining... back to commission talk.
I've been holding out on laminating what I have completed because I really really think I might be getting a laminator for Christmas that works a lot better than the one we took to the con. Crossin' my pawpads on that! Still need to go buy a bundle of 11x14 canvas boards to start painting, but I have the preliminary poses sketched out and I think they will work well in the acrylic medium. I'm really excited about getting it all finished. I'm sorry to everyone for the long wait. My financial situation has been putting a lot of stress on me and I've not been too terribly inspired because of it. Plus its the season for social schedules to get all out of whack anyways, right? Holidays are such a drag like that. : /
Nevertheless, here is a current listing of the status of my commissions:
NoirStallion: Body Badge (Complete, needs lamination)
Merkindesr: Body Badge (Almost complete)
Fur A Tail: Traditional Badge (complete, needs lamination)
CutePuppy: Traditional Badge (partially completed)
Karnalis: Traditional Badge (sketched)
Wolff: Traditional Badge (not started)
Kaden Shadows: Color Sketch (partially completed)
Karja: Color Sketch (not started)
Keekers & Risky: Color Couple Sketch (sketched, scraped, restarted) I didn't like the pose. : /
Blue Otter: 11 x 14 Acrylic Painting (rough sketch completed, need materials)
Hijinx: 11 x 14 Acrylic Painting (rough sketch completed, need materials)
Kamaria Dering: 11 x 14 Acrylic Painting (rough sketch completed, need materials)

Good Karma Comin' My Way... At Last?
General | Posted 17 years agoThis weekend my grandpa's going to be in town. He's flying in from Florida to visit me for about 5 days, then he's driving a rental down to Southeastern OK to visit with the rest of the fam-damily. I'm excited because my mother's offered to pay my gas to escort him down. Yeah, it'll eat up like 6 hours of my Sunday, but the good news about it is that I can go pick up my Epson scanner... which means....
I CAN SCAN MY ARTWORK AGAIN!!!!!
*dances around all happy-coywolf like*
In other news, feeling like crap today... Not sure if this means I'll be hefting up some hot-sick or not just yet, but who knows? I hope I get to feeling better... bleeeeggghhh... I'ma go get my car from the shop now.
Oh yeah... worked on some of my art stuff last night. Some commission stuff and a few premilinary and toony sketches for Furry Fiesta maybe? You've my friend, Lycanthro, to thank for the inspiration. He's so crazy... *giggles* Anywho, um... shammammypants!!!!!
*flees*

WHAT... THE.... FUCK????
General | Posted 17 years agoI hate call-center perverts...
What's worse than a call-center pervert? A call-center pervert who has nothing better to do on a Sunday morning at 7am than to call into a roadside hotline for a rental car company and pester me FOUR TIMES. His only emergency? That he simply must hear me tell him I have my hand down my pants. *rolls her eyes*
I can handle normal pervertity. They call in... you chuckle at them and have them hold 'while you get a supervisor' and they hang up. Never hear from 'em again. This guy? FOUR TIMES in the last 30 minutes... he's called in and aaaaallllllll he wants in the world is for me to do him this one huuuuge favor... and stick my hand down my pants and tell him I'm touching my panties. *fur bristles as she begins to growl and flex her claws in frustration*
He better be glad he's calling over the phone because if he was standing before me, he'd probably be minus those parts I can hear him fondling through the phone lines... GRRRR!!!
And it's not just that he called the one time... it was the procession of calls after that where he knew he was talking to me, knew I was going to hang up on him or send him to my super, and he didn't seem to particularly care about this. In fact, the third time he called, he actually said "I'm sorry, darling, are you mad at me? If its a bad time I can call back--is there a better time I can call you and we can talk together?" Because I was telling him that we are a roadside assistance emergency line and that I needed to be taking calls for people who needed help. UGH!! A better time? How about NEVER, you needle-dicked doucheasaurus rex.
And no matter how angry or how much I threatened to send him to my supervisor, he kept asking me to just put my hand down my pants for him. THE FUCKING NERVE!!!!
Unfortunately, there's no way for us to block these kinds of calls from coming in. It was just highly unnerving to start my morning with four calls from the same asshole. Definitely kind of put me off on the wrong foot. I think the thing that enrages me the most is now everytime I get a roadside call from the brand he was calling from, I flinch. I can't STAND the fact that I have let him get to me like that. But I did. And I'm sooo mad at myself for that. Grrrrr...
So yeah... Kyo hates call-center pervs. I'm so... so angry... But I have to keep taking calls... have to keep playing nice and sounding all calm and collected and understanding and empathetic. Which I can do. It's just sad and it's done a lot to ruin my day. I'm SOOOO happy I'm only working a half shift today and that I'm off tomorrow. I want to be as far-removed from this place as possible for a while.

Commissions At A Stand-Still
General | Posted 17 years ago*We interrupt Kyo's creative thought processes to bring you DTG Operation's 10-Year Anniversary Party*
NoooOOOOoooOOOOooooOOOOoooo!!!
... Okay. I suppose this needs more explanation than just that *SIGH*
My company's anniversary is in November of every year and last year's theme was Welcome to the Jungle. So.. heh... I waltzed into the Celebration Committee (the people in charge of any celebrations and decorations that happen in our company) threw down a game-plan and we rocked it sooo hard the roof nearly fell down. XD
So sure enough, the came to me and asked me to be the Art Director and Designer again for this year. The theme was Ten Killer Years and it was going to be an underwater design. So immediately I'm hearkened back to my innocent youth when I painted nothing but Christian Reese Lassen inspired seascapes with corals and fish and dolphins and.... well... I bit off more than I could chew.
Its been a Drama-Rama from the get-go and so stressful that Kyo's been coming home to either a pint of Ben & Jerry's or a cocktail every night for the past week and a half or so. ~__~ My own fault, I'm sure. But I can't help it! I get so damned passionate about it... let things get personal... I have been doing much better and just letting things go. But I'm still up to my furry lil ears in sea turtles, dolphins, corals, fishes, crustaceans, cetaceans... you name it! And all of it has to be painted or orchestrated or delegated out... I have to organize teams and keep lists of necessary materials and make sure people are staying on-task and that we're still managing our call handling and meeting my decorating staff requirements, whilst juggling immature, bratty people's pwecious lil feewings... cry-cry-sad, you're bossy! Whine-whine-bitch-behind-your-back cause you won't lemme do what I wanna do when I wanna do it. You don't listen to my ideas.. whaaaahhhh... *rolls her eyes* People get all butt-hurt over the DUMBEST things...
So anywho, After 8 hours of paint and paint and draw and sketch and delegate and drama drama drama... and MORE paint, I'm coming home wanting NOTHING to do with ANY of my art supplies. I fear if I did the slightest frustration would have me lighting up the grill and setting them ablaze while cackling maniacally into the chill night air....
...which would be bad.
SO... I'm taking a small break. The celebration is next Friday. All will be done then and I can resume my handling of my furry friends' adorable little commishy-art-happiness-thingies. Hooray!! I hope this doesn't make you all hate me. I just haven't got the energy for it right now and if I force myself, they won't look half as good... and that would make me feel like I was failing you.
*sad-faces*
I promise I'll hop right back on them the day after! Though the paintings are waiting on my trip to Muskogee... and that is waiting for my car to be repaired and in the condition to drive that far... so sorry!! Didn't think it was going to be out in the shop this long. *even sadder-faces*

My Car Is Trying To Kill Me
General | Posted 17 years ago... Okay, so its not so much the car's fault. I've been a broke-assed 'yote for... we'll say the last 9 months or so. Heh. And my car's been giving me issues probably for the last six. I finally relented because OklaCon managed to supply me with enough extra revenue to have the damned thing looked at and... lo and behold... I've been riding around in a DEATH TRAP for at least a good couple of months.
Guy took one look at the left side wheels and looked at me like it was a miracle I drove it in at all. Something about the left low ball joint and left wheel bushings being out... should never have driven it over 20 mph... if ball joint came off my wheel would buckle under the car, turning it into a death-sled of DOOM... et cetera. : /
So now my poor lil Corsica's sitting on a lot waiting to be looked at. I'll get a price quote on the work god-knows-when and maybe have her looked at by the end of the week. >.<
So Kyo's officially on the hoof... AND NOT LIKING IT!!! >: 0
Grrrrr... poooh.. v_v;;;

A Foray Into Personal Fetishisms
General | Posted 18 years agoStolen from ecmajor

WARNING!!! EXTREME T.M.I. TO COMMENCE IN
3
2
1
...
**24/7 - Having sex 24/7? Ummm... nice in theory, messy and eventually painful in rality I'd imagine. Longest I was able to go thusfar's been 6 hours before I need to wash up and take a day off. XD
**Abasiophilia (Casts, Braces, Wheelchairs)? - Uh... what?
**Age Play? - Depends on the person I'd be doing...
**Adult Baby/AB Parent? - *retch*
**Algolagnia (Pleasure derived from pain to errogenous zones)? - Yes... and no. The occasional pinch to the nipple or clit is okay.
**Amputee Fetishism (Amputation/Deformity)? - Could be interesting...
**Anal Sex? - GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!
**Andromimetophilia (Androgeny)? - I'm totally hot for this one. YES YES YES!!! Oh YESSS!!!
**Arse (Ass Play, Worship)? - Ummm... I no likey tongue in my rumpy. O__O;;
**Asphyxiaphilia (Breath Play, Choking)? - Tried it. It's a weird and unique feeling, but not worth the danger.

14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
To have a mysterious, painful and debilitating illness for the last 8 years of my life with horrible symptoms and no real diagnosis or lasting cure... ~sigh~
15. Tell me one weird fact about you:
When I was little, I used to play I was a veterinarian med student and cut open dead animals to learn about their insides.
16. Do you have any pets?
A 2-year old Sheltie: Roxie
1 year old Blue Tabby: Kalcifer
10 month old Silver/Cream Tabby: Nelix
3 tropical fresh-water aquariums: 5, 10, and 29 gallons.

At work, waiting for the phone lines to get busy.... and hoping they don't. XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not a lot to say, I suppose.
I've been hit hard by some illness issues that have me wiped out by the time I go home. I went to a specialist yesterday and they ran a gambit of tests on me, did some blood work, and scheduled me for yet another ultrasound. I'm so anemic I felt positively wasted after they drew all those vials of blood on me. They gave me some medicine that should help build my immune system up a bit while we wait for my test results to come in so I can come back so we can review them and see if something definitive might finally come from all of this. I'm so tired of being ill...
Anywho, the marriage certificate ceremony went well. Being together with my parents and brother was fantastic fun and my Mate and I miss them very much. He's so happy to be able to call my family his own. It's weird though seeing my last name substituted with his... I'm adjusting well enough though. ^__^ Still a little floaty and giddy at times, but all in all just very happy to know we're this much closer to him being here permanently. We just have to file for his adjustment of status from a citizen of Holland to a residential alien of the US. After that, it's just a matter of getting him a social security card and driver's license.
So lot's going on... and I guess I had more to say than I thought. Go me!! Sorry that my musings have taken such a somber tone.... perhaps I'll put more 'yippy-skippy' into my next INS. We'll see.

If Only They Could Talk ~ a hilarious autobiography by veterinarian James Herriot

Aries, Ox
8. Any Tattoos and/or Piercings?

9. Worst Habit?
Being lazy.
10. What was the last thing you touched besides the keyboard?
A pen to log a reservation I just made at my work place.
11. What is your favorite sport?
I like soccer and extreme dodgeball.
12. Negative or Optimistic attitude?
I'm an optimist for the most part. :D
13. Can you eat 50 hot wings?
Depends on how hungry I am and what kind of hot wings they are... only Rib Crib's wings would do. Mmmmmm Rib Crib... *droolz*
14. Worst thing to ever happen to you?
To have a mysterious, painful and debilitating illness for the last 8 years of my life with horrible symptoms and no real diagnosis or lasting cure... ~sigh~
15. Tell me one weird fact about you:
When I was little, I used to play I was a veterinarian med student and cut open dead animals to learn about their insides.
16. Do you have any pets?
A 2-year old Sheltie: Roxie
1 year old Blue Tabby: Kalcifer
10 month old Silver/Cream Tabby: Nelix
3 tropical fresh-water aquariums: 5, 10, and 29 gallons.
17. What’s the weirdest pet you’ve owned?
probably either my southern hognosed snake, my red limousine bottle calf, the fox and flying squirrels I've fostered or my praying mantis to name a few...
18. Where are you?
At work, waiting for the phone lines to get busy.... and hoping they don't. XD
19. What is the dumbest thing you’ve done while intoxicated?
I don't really get drunk... the one time I did I kissed a lot of guys I didn't like or even know. I was almost assaulted in the bathroom because I could barely walk straight, let alone defend myself. That made me feel quite sleazy the next day. So I don't drink like that anymore.
20. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
My weight. I don't want to be a size 0 (eeeewww) but I would like to be able to have more energy and get out and do more.
21. Weapon of choice?

My place or my friends' houses.

29. Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Draw, Paint, Read, Sleep, or Have Sex... the order of priority changes according to my mood. XD
30. Do you swear a lot?
Yeah... but I feel that people put too much stress and emphasis into words and that's silly. It's one thing to say the word, another to put that word on a person. Just saying 'shit' is different from calling someone a 'shithead' for instance. I try not to do the latter.
31. Biggest pet peeve?
Not being upfront with me. Like me, hate me, whatever. I'll be glad to keep my distance if you don't care for me, just SAY SO TO ME. I'll appreciate straightforward honesty loooong before I appreciate lying and dodgy behavior.
32. In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Quirky.
33. What’s your shoe size?
Women's 12.5 or Men's 11 (yes, I have HUGE wuffer paws :P)
34. Do you have the same features (eye color, body size) as your furry character?
Not really. I do tend to draw curvy, hippy females because I think curves are much more beautiful, sensual and sexy than angular, boy-bottomed figures... but I think I'm a lot more rotund than my inner animal. And who ever heard of a naturally occuring, truly green-eyed canine? :P
35. What is your favorite outfit?
My fav bootcut jeans, a pair of lovingly worn in Chucks with two-tone socks, one of my Threadless.com tees, my plum lace bra and my lucky underwear.
36. Favorite image in all of the internet?
The 'invisible' or 'I M N UR' animal photos. I actually collect them on my Facebook page.
37. How many windows/tabs do you have open?
Five every day. Two for work purposes, three for entertainment.
38. What's your desktop image?
The Dollar/Thrifty Automotive Group Logo...... boring.
39. What shampoo do you use?
Tres Semme all the way!!!
40. What cologne do you use?
I have several. Ragdoll, Cool Water, Jessica McClintoc, White Jasmine, Phoenix by Axe (what? I like to smell boyish sometimes) and a Sweet Pea scented body splash.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not a lot to say, I suppose.
I've been hit hard by some illness issues that have me wiped out by the time I go home. I went to a specialist yesterday and they ran a gambit of tests on me, did some blood work, and scheduled me for yet another ultrasound. I'm so anemic I felt positively wasted after they drew all those vials of blood on me. They gave me some medicine that should help build my immune system up a bit while we wait for my test results to come in so I can come back so we can review them and see if something definitive might finally come from all of this. I'm so tired of being ill...
Anywho, the marriage certificate ceremony went well. Being together with my parents and brother was fantastic fun and my Mate and I miss them very much. He's so happy to be able to call my family his own. It's weird though seeing my last name substituted with his... I'm adjusting well enough though. ^__^ Still a little floaty and giddy at times, but all in all just very happy to know we're this much closer to him being here permanently. We just have to file for his adjustment of status from a citizen of Holland to a residential alien of the US. After that, it's just a matter of getting him a social security card and driver's license.
So lot's going on... and I guess I had more to say than I thought. Go me!! Sorry that my musings have taken such a somber tone.... perhaps I'll put more 'yippy-skippy' into my next INS. We'll see.

9. Mexican or Chinese?
Chinese!! Real Mexican is either way too spicy or kind of bland for me.
10. Do you want someone aggressive or passive in bed?

11. Do you love someone on your friend list?
In a platonic way, sure.
12. Do you know all the people on your friends list?
Most of them, yes... from OklaCon or a few from work and such.
13. Love or money?
Love I have in abundance... so money, plz!!! XD
14. Credit cards or cash?
Both.
15. Has there ever been anyone in your family you wish wasn't?
Occasionally... but I'm very forgiving.
16. Would you rather go camping or to a 5 star hotel?
I've never been to a 5-star hotel... I love camping though... tough choice. Can't decide.
17. What is the weirdest place you have had sex?
In the lake at a public swimming beach or in the dressing room at one of my former work places.
18. Would you shave your entire body (including your head) for money?
If the price is right, probably. But it'd have to be a shit-ton of money!!!
19. Have you ever been to a strip club?
Not yet... but I definitely want to!!
20. Ever been to a bar?
Yep. A few.
21. Ever been kicked out of a bar or a club?
Nope. I'z a good critter, even when I'm sauced.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So yeah... I've got a lot going on right now to frazzle my nerves and make it impossible for me to drum up any artistic enthusiasm whatsoever. Getting married on Monday, but I'm also dealing with some health issues right now that had me bawling in my Mate's arms in the shower last night. I should be so happy, but I have so much that's worrying me, too. My next appointment with the specialist is on the 9th. Maybe we'll find a way to make some progress so my life can begin to feel remotely normal again.
Until then, I'll just keep my chin up and act like nothing's wrong like I usually do. It felt so strange to just fall apart like that in front of him and just tell him everything that was worrying me about my disease and how it was making me do this or feel that. I try so hard not to tell him every little bad thing that I'm going through because no one likes that, right? But he just held me close, encouraged me to get it all out, said I should never feel embarassed in front of him, and promised me he was there for me and always would be, no matter what.
How'd I get so damned lucky? It sucks to be suffering this crap and putting him through it while I seek a way to get better... but it's so wonderful having someone who understands and cares and is helping me overcome some of my emotional obstacles surrounding it. It makes me more certain than I've ever been that I want to settle down and get married with him. ~<3
That's at least one good thing I can truly smile about right now, right? :)

Happy New Year!!!
General | Posted 18 years agoYipee!! *strews confetti around the room*
As you can tell, I'm feeling a lot better. My mother came for a visit this past weekend. She brought me a HUGE basket full of wonderful goodies, treated us to dinner and lunch the following day at two delicious restaurants, and bought us some lovely gifts at the mall and treated us to a night of glow-bowling. Spoiled? Me? NEVAR!!! XD
But it did the trick and lifted my spirits. I'm feeling a lot better now and am getting quite excited about the 7th. It looms ever nearer now and his family called us yesterday from Holland to coo and fuss and wish us many blessings for the New Year. They are so excited to be having me in the family, even if I'm an ocean away. It makes me all squishy inside to think about it. His parents are such good people and I'm so honored that they think so highly of me. ^__^
Steph came over the other day and we spent the evening drawing and having strange, fun conversations about furry porn and my strange obsession with drawing penises and what animal combination would make for the strangest furry porn... good times, right? I think it's the first time my Mate has seen me that candid about my furriness outside of a convention setting. I'm proud of him. He just laughed and joked right back with us and even offered a few suggestions of his own. What can I say? I'm his luvably weird lil wuffer girl and I guess he's more comfortable with that than I gave him credit for. ^__^
I'm just about done sketching out my artwork for Ebony Tigress
ebonytigress I really hope she likes it as I have enjoyed putting it together for her so far. Putting the scales onto her Mate, Kifall, has been the most challenging part for me. I've never done detailed scale-work before. So it's been rather time consuming because I've had to start over a couple of times. But I only have his neck and tail left and then I can start inking them in. Fun stuffs!! I think I may combine acrylics and colored pencils for it. How exciting!!! I can't wait to share the finished product.
Speaking of finished products, I could kick myself for not at least sending my ink sketches home with Steph. Oh well... you stay up until 4am or so and all sense and logic tend to turn to pumpkins long before then. I blame myself for not calling my Furry Godmother and asking for a time extension. Perhaps I can get them snuck in the next time Steph has time for company. It's just difficult because we work schedules that often have one working while the other is off work. Hmmm... well I'll make a more concentrated effort to get it done, regardless.
So my New Year's Resolution? To continue expanding artistically, to lost my extra Holiday fluff around the waistline, to love my Mate unconditionally (probably the easiest of my resolutions XD) and to attend at least one other convention beyond OklaCon. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for FWA in February. If any of you are attending, I'll make sure and post whether or not I'm going. You'll HAVE to look me up!! :D
Anywho, that's my outlook thusfar for 2008. If the first day of the New Year truly is symbolic of how the rest of it turns out, I'm doing alright so far. Here's hoping the trend continues!!
Much Love and New Year Blessings,

Icky Stomach Virusness
General | Posted 18 years ago*blegghhh*
Oi... I received an attendance point at work yesterday. Had to call in due to being attacked by some sort of viral alien hell-bent on the destruction of my precious innards. O_<
Yesterday, I was in abject misery. I've been punched head-on in the stomach before... and I can honestly say this felt worse. Mostly because with being punched, the pain does eventually fade out whereas yesterday I was simply inconsolible. Understand, I'm no wuss. I often deal with different degrees of pain and function just fine. I've had a lot of hurts in my lifetime, so I can handle a lot. Whatever I had was so nasty, it damaged the inner lining of my stomach and I have to take medicine to help it heal and eat a BRAT diet, which sucks by the way.
What is a BRAT diet? Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. Not much deviation from that, either. No milk, butter, fats, red meat, or dairy of any kind. Precious little white meat. No spices. So I've been eating banana-flavored oatmeal and plain toast since yesterday morning and I have 3 more days of this unsatisfying gruel to suffer through before I can begin to return to a decently flavored diet. ~__~;;
But thankfully I have been able to bounce back enough that I could deal with being at work today, even if my stomach is still causing me some discomfort. I'd have loved to be out another day and really recuperate, but my financial situation begs otherwise at the moment. So no dice. I did feel up to going with my friends to the Garden of Lights up in Muskogee, OK. Very much worth the nausea of being in my friend's SUV the whole time. She drives a little crazy in vehicles that are high off the ground, so there was a lot of centrifugal force being excerted on my poor tummy. ^__^;; But the lights were gorgeous and I had fun.
So I'm working on colored commissions for 3 couples. And yes, I'm very sorry I haven't uploaded anything recently. Between the holiday business and being sick and everything else, running to the scanner at my friend's place hasn't been a number 1 priority. I'll have some new stuff up hopefully before the beginning of next week, tho. So don't give up on meeee!! ^__^;;

YARGHIFIZZLE!!
General | Posted 18 years agoI'll be hot damned if I'm not finding new ways to distract myself from projects I should be focusing on. I swear, I'm hopeless. I'm so good at starting things... and so bad at having the patience and attention span to see them through. I lack discipline.
~sigh~ So I'm wqrking on my commissions and on a little something on the side for Miss Snowdrift
snowdrift and her Mate. Why? I do not know. It was not requested or required of me in the least bit. But ever since I viewed her art I've had an itch to draw the pair. go figure. Stupid art brain and it's stupid random fixations. >__<
Be careful. YOU may be the focus of my next itchy-art craving-type thingie. Beware! Bewaaarrre!! *wiggles fingers ominously*
O . O
Ahh yes, and a very Merry Christmachannakwanzikayuletide blessings to all.

More of Nothing
General | Posted 18 years ago...As if you hadn't had enough. Anywho:
January 7th, 2008
A day... which will live... in INFAMY!!!
Or not. Yeah, my mate and I finally set a date for our oh-so-not-special JOP marriage license signing thingy. Nooooo it's not the actual ceremony. We'z a bunch of broke-ass critters so that will have to wait for another two years or so before we can break out with the wedding bells and the cake and the 'OMG-invite-everyone-and-their-cousin's-dog!' kind of thing. So don't get to twinkle-toed about it.... if you are at all.... because to us it's like a VERY formal, VERY legally binding engagement. Whatever gets my Mate into the US, right?
I keep thinking of good ideas for artwork... but I never put them into motion. I'm not sure if my creative juices are merely spent or if it's the fact that my Mate is here and I'm focusing too much of my time towards him right now. Probably a bit of both, knowing me. Regardless, I'll make sure and beg Steph for her scanning priveleges soon so I can share those ink scribblings I made with you all.
We were hoping for some holiday snow... we got one day's worth to make us hopeful and then it heated up and feels almost summery. I hate Oklahoma weather. I'm all 'PICK A CLIMATE AND STICK TO IT, DAMMIT!!'
And the weather replies, 'Fine then, I'll make it hot. No Cold... very cold. Wet. Wet and col-No hot again... maybe some snow... maaaaybe-nope warm and sunny. Now raining. Cold. Cold. Coooolder. Hot again tomorrow. And windy... don't forget windy. Maybe some flurries tomorrow. I'll let you imagine and hope for them and turn them into slushy rain by the time tomorrow comes along. It's just fun to see the look of disappointment on your faces....'
Weather is a bitch like that. So if you have early onset arthritis and a bad knee, you're all with the Painy Mc Painerton all the time. And the sinus drainage and the colds and chapped lips and dry skin and the summer-no-winter-no-summer clothes and the URGGGHH!! DX
Sorry. I just needed to vent that for a moment. And egads, am I tired. 11... no 12 days straight now where the absolute maximum number of hours slept has been 6... mostly 4. I'm one of those types that functions best on a full 7-8 hour sleep cycle, so you can imagine. I have no freakin' clue what I'm even typing right now. Sights and sounds keep blurring. I keep falling asleep with customers on the phone. I think 12 days is my limit. I needz me a 36-hour nap. XD
Why didn't I go to bed early last night? Well, because I'm becoming a TV whore again. I'd gone almost an entire year without owning actual television in my apartment. Now I'm becoming a slave to my shows. Especially FX. I love Nip/Tuck and The Shield... SCRUBS... SouthPark... all the shows I lived just fine without watching a few months ago I can't seem to live without now. Pathetic. I try not to obsess. But alas, my latest shame was watching A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila. *facepalm*
I was rooting for Dani. Dani is so freakin' hot and totally should've won it. Bobby is a simpering boy-toy beeyotch. Tila bisexual? Bisexual my scruffy wuffer BUTT. All that to settle for the guy who was caught doing God-knows-what with Rebecca one of the first nights there. *bitch-bitch-bitch, rant-rant-rant*
Regardless, I stayed up late watching that and Nip/Tuck, so I'm stupid and I'm tired and THANK GAWD my job just gave me an early release pass. I'm going home to crash and burn and deal with my Mate being mad at me for leaving early... So... umm... bye. :P

January 7th, 2008
A day... which will live... in INFAMY!!!
Or not. Yeah, my mate and I finally set a date for our oh-so-not-special JOP marriage license signing thingy. Nooooo it's not the actual ceremony. We'z a bunch of broke-ass critters so that will have to wait for another two years or so before we can break out with the wedding bells and the cake and the 'OMG-invite-everyone-and-their-cousin's-dog!' kind of thing. So don't get to twinkle-toed about it.... if you are at all.... because to us it's like a VERY formal, VERY legally binding engagement. Whatever gets my Mate into the US, right?
I keep thinking of good ideas for artwork... but I never put them into motion. I'm not sure if my creative juices are merely spent or if it's the fact that my Mate is here and I'm focusing too much of my time towards him right now. Probably a bit of both, knowing me. Regardless, I'll make sure and beg Steph for her scanning priveleges soon so I can share those ink scribblings I made with you all.

10 Days Til 'Fat Jolly Elf Day'!!
General | Posted 18 years agoWoo!
Yeah, so I've been putting the final touches on my home for when my Mate arrives tomorrow (tomorrow! EEeeeEEEEeeee!!!) You know, organizing this, adjusting that, wrapping the last of his presents... I even scrubbed my tile floors a'la cindarella style. Singing mice and dancing bluebirds and everything.
And I get to thinking about the silly things one thinks about at moments like this. Such as 'this is my last Friday alone' and 'From now on he's going to be here and there won't be a time limit anymore' and 'I wonder if he'll notice those six ThanksGiving pounds I put on...' though that last one's a little off-topic.
Back to the point, its so surreal and I can't even begin to have a mindset about it. Part of me keeps wanting to ask him what time his return flight has him going home, even though the other part knows damned well that this is the one-way ticket we've been waiting for. It's been a crazy three and a half years for us and though I always figured I'd be with someone at least five years before I committed to marrying anyone... well... here I am. ^__^;;
But yeah, I admit I do have a bit of the 'cold feet'. I never thought I'd find anyone willing to love me enough to marry me... hell, even DATE me. I had such a rough patch in highschool that when I imagined my future 10 years down the road, I thought for certain I was gonna be that crazy old maid in the purple house with 100 cats. Buuuuut here I am staring down the barrel of 'til death do us part' with a fantastic guy I mostly feel I can't possibly deserve. I guess life just loves throwing curveballs like that at you. Well I'm sure I'll be sky-high and wriggly with happiness come this next week. But for now I'm all anxiety and nervousness like I always am the day before. I imagine I won't sleep at all tonight...
Well enough of my snoretastic personal life. FAT ELF DAY'S AROUND THE BEND!! Makes me want to break out and sing!! "Here comes fatty with a sack o' shit, Here comes fatty with a sack o' shit, Here comes fatty with a sack o' shit, 'n all those stinkin' reindeer!..." Probably one of my favorite Christmas songs. Never heard it? Shame on you.
Yes, it's that oh-so deliciously commercialized time of the year!! Time to stress out about money far more than you ever do at any other time of the year! To pretend you give at the office! To use half a roll of tape wrestling freakin' paper on to a single freakin' Christmas gift! To fight that urge to hike your leg at your own Christmas tree! Yes it's that time again, folks... and usually 10 days til Christmas is when I start leaving my Christmas lights on 24/7.
Yeah, the nearness of the holiday hit me like a jackhammer when I went to my local supermarket. It seemed like the longer I was there, the more congested it was. When I finally checked out it was swarming with the holiday masses, fighting and clawing for that last Molly Hiccup doll and Mister Awesome action figure and God only knows what else. And I SWEAR there should be a driver's ed course for shopping carts!!
You should have to have a freakin' permit to drive one of those things... cause people do the stupidest shit with their carts that block the traffic down an entire aisle while they're deciding if they want the can of yams with or without extra freakin' cinnamon or god-knows-what-else. Just park yer damn buggy in the middle of the aisle for twenty minutes while you call your nearly-deaf grandpa which flavor of oatmeal he wants, barking each of twenty varieties to him very loudly and very slowly at least three times each.
Oh yes!! It's that time of year, folks. But don't take my ranting as a sign of ill will on this holiday. Not at all. I love Christmas... I just don't like some of the holiday stupidity and hypocritical behavior that occurs along with this time of season. To be truthful, it's not the presents or the songs or the TV specials I look forward to. It's the LIGHTS.
Oh God, the lights... the beautiful lighted houses and drive-thru light shows and seeing the lighted Christmas trees in people's windows as you drive by... The lights have always been my favorite. You can get presents for your birthday... you can be kind and have good will all year round (and you should)... you can even listen to obnoxious Christmas songs or watch dvd box sets of Christmas specials whenever you want these days. But only one time of year can you see lights like this.
So that's my favorite time of this season. What's yours? Leave me a comment if you like. ^.^ I looove reading comments...
Anywho, that concludes today's random Posty McPosterson. Still working on:
Full Color 2 Char Commission (Ferret & Multi-Hybrid)
Full Color 1 Char Commission (Anthro Dragon)
Ink sketches I have to upload:
'California Leaf-Nosed Bat'
'Eastern Pipistrelle Bat'
'Gould's Wattled Bat'
'Punk Dog'
'My Little Rock Star'
'Surfer Llama'
Plus a few possible WIPs...
~~~~~~~~~
Catch ya later!!

I HAVE NOTHING INTERESTING TO SAY!!!
General | Posted 18 years ago... But I'm saying it anyways.
I have this song stuck in my head and it's driving me crazy. Ever have that happen? It's stuck in there and plays over and over and you like it AND hate it at the same time. Part of you just KNOWS you have to hear the song, in full, to remove the remnant from your skull. When you think about it, it's kind of like the magical cantrip to remove the curse, no? :P
And how appropriate to be 'cursed' by gypsy punk music, right? So yeah... I've got Gogol Bordello on the brain. THANKS STEPH. XD
Not that it's a bad thing. I've always been a huge fan of 'ethnic punk'... rocker music with hints of other cultures. Flogging Molly is a good example of this love. Irish punk music! Good stuff. So when my furry friend throws some gypsy rock in my noggin' I'm all with the happy, ya know? But alas, it's stuck there until I can hear that one magical song again and debunk the endless broken record that has me dying to hear it again in the first place.
Ehhnn... I've had worse songs stuck before. So I'm not complaining. But I'm definitely thinking that I must have more of this band before long if they're this addictive after only hearing them once or twice. I also tend to be more creative when I have a song stuck inside my head. It's like fuel for the engine, you know? Gets me in a mood that produces art that reflects the idea of the song... only this time it's got immigrant punk producing random cute, fuzzy bats.... go figure. Never said my brain worked at an understandable frequency.
Not working on my commissions right now. The badge is just needing the sleeve and lanyard, so it's done. The two drawings will have to wait until after my Mate is here and things have settled down some. I'm still fussing with this and dusting on that. No, rest assured I did not live in an absolute STY beforehand... but I do have two meddlesome cats (Kalcifur and Nelix) and a shedding Sheltie (Roxie) that do make messes along the lines of:
"Oooh, lookit that nice potted plant up on the end table, Kal."
"I see it, Nelix. I think mom would like it better if it was dumped upside down with black soil and mulch spread across her nice beige carpet!"
"We better help her with that right now so we can surprise her with it when she comes home from work! Wheeeee!!! *CRASH!!*"
And so my mischeivious children have been 'helping' me a lot... especially with the Christmas tree up now. I need not explain to any of you the allure of the shiney lights and pretty bulbs to felis domesticus. It's part of why my kitties now get half my two-bedroom, two bathroom apartment to themselves. You can only come home to an overturned Christmas tree so many times before you're ready to start making violin strings if you know what I mean. >=/
But oh, only TWO MORE DAYS!!! My heart goes all noodly just thinking about it!! It's soooo hard not to spaz out in the middle of my workplace everytime I imagine going to the airport this Sunday, knowing for a fact that I'll NEVER have to say goodbye to him again. That my Mate will be here from now on... that I'm getting married in January!! Oh, it's enough to stirr any decent-minded furry into fits of random squealing and giddy bouncing and nervous-twitchy reactions like over-obsessive house cleaning... right? Right?? RIGHT???
Oh shaddap and be happy for me already. :P
So yeah... I'm too busy to work on artsy stuff at home. Right now my sketches are derrived from slow moments at work between phonecalls, hence why they are all pen work instead of my usual mainstay, the trusty .007 , never-have-to-sharpen, engineering wonder known as the mechanical pencil.
Oh well... necessity is the mother of invention and I feel I'm reinventing myself a little by working solely with pen. Ink is a much different... more PERMANENT kind of medium that I usually avoid for fear of error. But as one of my watchers amusingly pointed out, ink is kind of neat like that. Not to be feared, but simply treated with a deeper level of focus. In fact, the level of concentration that goes into each potential line always has you thinking at least three strokes ahead. Keeps you sharp. Keeps you focused. And that precision comes out in the work. So I suppose it's all good in the end, right?
Perhaps pen is a step up from pencil in it's own way. A graduation of sorts for me that proves I don't have to remove every erroneous stroke in order to produce a good image. That in some cases I can even use those strokes to add an interesting spin to things. Pencil is safe and clean and forgives. Pen is permanent, plain and simple. But a wrong stroke doesn't tear the wind from my sails anymore or have me crumpling and chewing on my misguided masterpiece in frustration like it used to. So hooray for that!! Perhaps this is yet another beaming example of how I'm continuing to mature as an artist!
So in short... Gypsy punk music casts happy curses of awesomeness on the brain. Knowing the love of your life is moving in at the end of the week makes life super hectic in the most wonderful way possible. And last but not least, PEN IS NOT MY ENEMY ANYMORE.
It will be my mantra for the rest of this week. And when I have access to my ol' trusty pencils again, I will have to remember they are not my only sketch medium any longer. And that makes me very happy. :)
And it's gonna snow soon!! Yay!! I hate cold weather, but I love snow. go figure. Can't have one without the other right? Well, here's hoping for a white Christmas with my smexy mate, a mug of hot tea, and lots of snuggliness to see us thru to Spring. ^__^

Teh EBIL CHEEZ!!
General | Posted 18 years agoSo while Steph and I were enjoying ARTAPALOOZER... err... ZA (cause we're not losers for spending our Saturdays together sketching furry thingies and having conversations about critter anatomy, coloring, art mediums, appropriate nipple pointiness, or the historical inaccuracies of children's movies and such) and her roomie comes in and is all "I made amazing, delicious cheese dip! You must have it now!!"
And we're all "Hooray for cheese!!"
Especially me because I hadn't eaten anything since 10am that day and it was like 8pm or something. So we're snackin' down awesome queso... the kind made with that Mexican cheese that's white and full of jalapeno goodness? Yeah. The good stuff. Only this cheese was SINISTER and CONNIVING!! We didn't see it coming. We just.... didn't see it coming.
The nexy day we were all feeling the vile effects of the sinister cheese. Oh cruel cheesey mistress! You were so tasty, we never thought you could be so cruel! I think Steph and her roomie had it worse off than I did, but I'm very tough when it comes to any kind of bacterial EVIL in foods. Perhaps it is my natural scavenging talents that allow me my cast iron tummy? Regardless we were all icky-sicky-gut-gurlgy-praying to the porcelain goddess for mercy ill the next day. It was very boo.
Would I consider eating that cheese again?... Let's just say I'm a glutton for punishment. But perhaps next time I'll make it myself. :P
Art I'm currently working on:
1 Commission for inked anthro dragon
1 Commission for couple's inked color sketch
1 Conbadge in acrylics
All commissions will be kept anonymous until after delivery and if there are scans, they will be posted after Christmas. Don't wanna spoil people's presents now do I? :D

*Moves In*
General | Posted 18 years agoYep. I finally got around to posting myself a decent-sized gallery. Some old stuff... some new. Some things I have every intention of reposting when they are colored/shaded and such.
So take a moment to browse my gallery and my scraps and enjoy. ^__^ I'm very happy to finally be 'moved in' and have everything in place. It was such a bummer not having anything in my gallery on a Furry ART forum. Seemed like wearing a Celine Dion teeshirt to Warped Tour... very very wrong.
So have fun and make plenty of comments. I lika da commenty-thingies. :D

So have fun and make plenty of comments. I lika da commenty-thingies. :D

Yay for Art!!
General | Posted 18 years agoAhhh... acrylics. A creative coy-wuffer's best friend!! I can't help myself lately it seems! I come home and I look over at my kitchen table, now completely dominated by art paraphernalia, and I HAVE to sit down and fiddle with SOMETHING.
You have to understand, I have other priorities I'm supposed to be affixed to at the moment. My house needs a thorough cleaning as my Mate is flying in on the 16th. This means, me being the good little housewuff I am, cleaning and dusting and mopping and going over the whole place with a toothbrush and a fine-tooth comb. Why? Because I love him and I like for him to come home to a nice clean home before I have the chance to give it that 'well-lived-in' look that it usually has. I'm a whirlwind of mess and creativity. I can't help it!! But since he likes order, I try to give him that illusion from time to time. XD
Soooo yeah... I have a house to clean and I end up spending 4 hours needlessly fussing over an acrylic conbadge commission. It's finally finished and I'm quite proud of it... however I did nothing towards my wreck of an apartment. So I'm left to feel all 'YAY' about the badge and all 'BOO' about the mess.
Hopefully I'll be able to muster up the willpower to work instead of 'play' tonight. Damn you, inspiration!!! You visit me at the worst possible times!!!!!! Oh well... here's hoping, right? ^_^;;

General | Posted 18 years ago HERE AT LAST! HERE AT LAST! THANK GAWD ALMIGHTY, I'M HERE AT LAST!!!
I've been checking everyday to see when New User Registration was up and running!!
*ahem*Well now that I've proclaimed my arrival, allow me to explain a little about me to those who might stumble upon me. Happens from time to time I'm told.
I'm a female red wolf/coyote hybrid. Happily Mated and soon to be married. (yay!!) I'm mostly known in the OklaCon convention circuit, I suppose... I do con-badges and such when I'm there. Mostly I prefer to draw what comes to me and inspires me. I'm not the best person to ask for commissions from if you like your stuff back ASAP. I tend to work... sporadically.
I like to think of my inspiration hitting me like a bout of nausea. Something I can't ignore, that gets worse with the ignoring and eventually when I can't stand it it takes over, causing me to go into a fit of explosive art-vomit. And then I'm done for... a few days? Weeks? Months? Yes, I've gone almost a year without artistic inspiration before.
Sorry I can't pull out a set of paints and markers and crank out your favorite character sketches on command. I'm afraid my inner animal isn't that domestic. I'm probably quite fortunate that she's at least house-broken and doesn't bring little dead things into my bedroom for me to trip over in the morning... "Lookit what I gotcha.. halfa MOOSE!!" O___o
So feel free to ask for commissions. I don't take any payment until the completion of the work. Just be aware that I can't guarantee a speedy delivery, however I believe my customers can vouch for me being very thorough, detailed, and seeking the utmost satisfaction from my work.
Anywho, that's even assuming anyone likes my stuff. We'll see. Well, I'll probably have my gallery up and running by this weekend. Some old favs and perhaps some new stuff for your art-hungry eyes to snack on.
Well... umm... hope you like my stuff!!
