Alrighty! GONNA be streaming tonight after my shift. If anyone wants to get a request or anything in ahead of time, just leave a comment here! Should start up in about 2-2.5 hours. Thanks folks! :)

Well, it looks like I'm gonna need some help making ends meet... And due to my new work schedule, I'm probably gonna have days off at a time, so, I'm opening up comissions! :) Im gonna start off by making up a red sheet this afternoon when I get home, and I will be streaming that. In the mean time, if anyone is wishing for a price on something, go ahead and drop your idea in the reply box here and I'll get you prices!

Base prices right now are - $10 for basic sketch, $25 for inked, $35 flat color, $50 shading. Complexty and extra features like more characters, extra bg detail, ect... Standard will/won't list applies, ask if you aren't sure of anything. So please let me know! ^^ Im looking forward to hearing from you!

(afternoon, 6.4.16)

almost got killed today because all the idiots decided to take to the roads... First, (two lane road, one oncoming, one my way). oncoming traffic was thick, and the road bent to my left. someone from the oncoming lane decided he didn't wanna stay in his lane till his turn across my lane. So, obvious choice, he went into my lane, and started coming right at me. so I slowed a bit, and watched him turn into his turn. no biggie, right? normally no, except he was obstructing the view of a STATIONARY car in my lane waiting for oncoming traffic to clear so THEY could turn left about 50 ft down the road around the bend.

You ever watch a rally racer swerve and fish tail at 50 MPH? basically what I did, JUST missed the stationary car waiting to turn left, went hard right and went off-road, swung by back end out, slammed the wheel back over and swung the car again, just missing a street sign, and after another obstacle free backnforth, I had enough control to avoid one of those large signs in front of a marina... pulled into the marina lot, took a breath, and started walking to the road. a few families with kids heard my tires turn into banshees and asked me what happened. told 'em what was what, checked the road, no slowed traffic, no issues. just a bunch of kicked up gravel.

so, I'm just happy to still be here and do what I enjoy. -.- people say drive safe, and I do! That's why you're not seeing me on the news being airlifted to the hospital while my car gets surgically removed from the back end of someone elses car. It's those brainless morons on the road you need to tell to start using their heads.

But please, from the bottom of my heart, everyone: PLEASE drive safe and stay alert this summer season! wherever you are, wherever you go, live, or do, PLEASE be safe.

I suppose you couldn't miss the big hack attack the other day. Seems a few pieces got deleted off my page as a result. Bah! I will be re uploading my latest pieces, but if anyone knows of any older pieces that have also been removed, please let me know.

Thanks!

I shall be attending Indi Furcon with my bro in august! don't have a booth or anything, but will be there and wandering about... my first attendance of a fur-con. ^^; should be fun!

maybe I'll see some friends there!

Well, I need some practice. So what better way than to get the audience involved? Post your questions here, and I will draw up reactions/replies to the ones I think best!

So... What questions have you for the white dragon, Hmm?

Indeedy, 4.20 is upon us! And I feel like having some fun with my friends, so here's a little surprise:

Today, I will be art streaming after work. Commission specials: sketches for $20 a piece, abstract bizzar styles upon request but ask about extra detailing. I will also be streaming doodle trades, so tune in for that as well!

In the absence of the magic leaf, I've got some hard cider I'll be putting away, so hopefully that will add some extra shenanigans... Might even sing, who knows! ;D

Looking forward to see who drops in! Always looking to make new friends!

threw a couple more into the scrap heap... just until I get the finer points of this new software down, and with my newfound free time, I'm liable to be throwing a lot more into it... enjoy as they drip in! XD

I just realized... a while ago I opened up a bidding thing for 'What's Lodi healing?" and it never really got any air in it... so, I figured, what the heck! it's still open! anyone at all want their idea put in? let me know! :)

had enough of being treated like a doormat. put in my 2 weeks at the Hut, so once I'm clear I should have much more, and many more, free evenings! This also means I'm going to be opening up a lot of commission slots for you fine folks to fill in! If you've any questions, or want to put in some orders, send me a note, and I'll get back with ya when I can! :)

Also learning a new software, and I intend to do a lot more color work!

ok, here's how I stand, and I figure I'd fill you in since the lack of uploads recently... ^^;

scheduling chaos between print shop and Pizza hut, due to both getting into busy seasons. so, I'm gonna slip in my 2 weeks at the pizza place. heck with it. I'm tired of getting grief from coworkers who should have been fired long ago...

just got new software, that's to a sale pointed out by Aku, so I'm going to be dabbling with that for a bit in upcoming streams.

currently story-boarding an animation, and working up a tune for Lodi's theme, just need a keyboard and/or music making program.

I'd also like to wish everyone to whom it may apply a preemptive Happy Easter! May you all have a safe and amazing holiday!

Hoping to see you all soon!

Just a thing to get this off my mind while it's still fresh. People these days don't use their brains. Especially these people who cry and moan about video games being to violent. Now, let me tell you how conversations with people like this should go:

Parent: oh, these games! They're so horrible and violent and oh, the language! It's ruined my perfect little angel child

Me: what game did he play?

Parent: this game called "grand theft auto v"!

Me:... Right. Where did he get the game?

P: the game store...

Me: how old is he?

P: 9!

Me: and who bought him the game?

P: well, I did, but...

Me: Does the title SOUND like you walk through the woods picking wildflowers holding hands with Snow White?

P: well, no, but...

Me: did you look at the games rating?

P: well, yes, but...

Me: and you bought it for him anyway?

P: yeah, but...

Me: No. You are the one who got him the game. YOU are the one who's not teaching your child the rights and wrongs. YOU are the one who lets electronics be the parents. YOU bought your 'innocent baby' an M rated game. YOU are demanding everyone change their product because you can't be bothered to do the parenting yourself.

P: but games are so violent!

Me: yes. Some are. And it's YOUR job to be the parent. Don't buy you're little kid games like that and ten complain about the content. As soon as you make the judgement call to buy an m rated game for your child, or take them to see deadpool, you're complaint rights go right out the window.

Use your brains, people.

Sorry for suddenly starting streams again and suddenly ceasing... Things have gone screwy at the Pizza Hut. Manager quit Friday which already three things into chaos, and now one of the drivers just quit... Guess who their go to guy is? -.-

Sometimes I regret being a dependable and reliable person... Wish me good tips! I'll get back onto the art wagon as soon as I can...

Again, sorry!

OK, friends! I'm gonna be drawing up a few monsters here... and I've done a plenty, and I've a few ideas but I want to which you want to see drawn:

Frog/gator mix
graboid/velociraptor
velociraptor/octopus
tomato/mutant
hunched crawler with gator-style jaws

I have the ideas, but I need to know where to start... what do you want to see first?

Personally, I think it's a good concept, to support artists work, but for some reason, I don't like seeing posts like "I'll show you art if you give me money at a monthly fee!" uh-uh. personally it feels like holding art hostage... If someone wants to support me with a few bucks, you have my paypal. I won't demand money just to see what I do...

I draw art to entertain, to show, to express myself.

well, I've spoken about this to some friends in the past, and again now to another good friend, but now I think I'm just gonna stick it here so that I have it in writing. I've talked in pieces before, but this is the first time I've done it all in one bunch. Please, do not steal this concept or story... It's mine, and one of the few things I treasure in uniqueness and individuality, and Lodi's original backstory is basically the culmination of years of brainstorming and piecing.

Now, outside the FA realm of vore and antics,
[Lodi is actually the last of his kind (supposedly).
[10:10:37 PM] Lodi: He is basically a reluctant hero type. He isn't overly fond of fighting, but he is insanely good at it.
[10:11:51 PM] Lodi: Yeah, military conscript at a young age. Assigned to ambassador protection for first assignment fresh out of spec training.
[10:12:28 PM] Lodi: Planetary invasion, saw thousands die despite his best efforts
[10:12:34 PM] Lodi: Saved all he could
[10:13:46 PM] Lodi: But was nearly killed when the gov building collapsed on top of him. Emerged just in time to see the planet capital leveled by orbital strikes
[10:14:10 PM] Lodi: Now a free roaming do-what-he-wants for hire with a conscience
[10:17:44 PM] Lodi: Story is, responding to a space station distress call, he gets there, he finds out that he wasn't the last of his kind... And that apparently his race wasn't the great peacekeepers he thought

[10:18:29 PM] Lodi: And some surviving scientists are working to rebuild the race. Enhanced
[10:18:47 PM] Lodi: I tell you this in confidence... -.-
[10:19:09 PM] Lodi: Please respect that... I haven't really shared this with anyone else and I've been working on it for years
[10:20:22 PM] Lodi: He and his best friend end up escaping the station, but the damage is found to have spread everywhere.
[10:21:39 PM] Lodi: And what is essentially an "anti-lodi", made from a sample taken on the station (as he was ambushed and tested on before escaping)
[10:22:01 PM] Lodi: Emerges, leading a growing army of the newly enhanced draconian a
[10:23:57 PM] Lodi: And basically, lodi isn't too happy to learn that his whole life is a lie... And basically sets out to bring his own race into extinction.
[10:26:33 PM] Lodi: And he is a pure blooded breed, and he never had a chance to learn of the image abilities his race had. His particular skill is energy manipulation. The reborn? Not so pure. The anti lodi, Theron, is the only other pure breed, basically a duplicate made in haste, therefore doesn't have all the self control lodi has. So while Lodi enjoys letting his craziness show, often just for effect, Theron is a straight up merciless lunatic.
[10:26:57 PM] Lodi: The animation using that orchestral theme is basically a showdown between them
[10:27:17 PM] Lodi: I'm going to be fleshing out this story as time goes and actually releasing it soon.
[10:27:24 PM] Lodi: Please do not steal... :(
[10:36:18 PM] Lodi: can I run a line by you?
[10:37:42 PM] Lodi: "yes, races are flawed, brutal... excentric.
[10:38:17 PM] Lodi: "but they are that they are. Unique, in their own right. Balance will find itself... it does not need a guiding hand.
[10:38:48 PM] Lodi: it isn't for us to decide, and it's time our name faded into history as it should...
[10:39:26 PM] Lodi: but as you said... 'it's just the nature of the beast.'. Isn't that right... Brother?"
[10:40:23 PM] Lodi: Lodi, speaking to Theron
[10:42:36 PM] Lodi: yeah, lodi is kinda pissed at this point... and takes a moment to rub in T's face that he just got his ass kicked.
[10:42:51 PM] Lodi: the newly brewed war far from over, but it's a start...
another line I want to bring in is "the embers of war are at your doorstep... and all you're doing, is fanning the flames!"
[10:44:20 PM] Lodi: Lodi to the council of another race, a third, outside party, who is working to grease the wheels of starting this war for their own gain

Sorry for the delay, but yeah! merry Christmas, everyone! Now, I was planning a surprise New Years stream and doing a piece called 'leather submarine'. Sadly, one of the other pizza delivery drivers went and got her license revoked/suspended... Guess who's been covering consecutive closing shifts? Yep, this whole week, even the eve, say of and after New Years I'll be busy in the evenings...

But I've got Saturday free though! So, if I can get a New Years stream going tonight though, I'll definitely let you know.

Thank you for your continued patience, my friends!

As I said earlier, I'm gonna be doing arts and stuff the next few days, but it's gonna be harder. woke up today and got a message from dad that he too my mother to the ER this morning. so, forgive me if I'm not my usual self for a bit. thanks

Well, I've procrastinated long enough! I've got a long list of ideas I need to teet drawn, jokes to draw and puns to make! GONNA get back into arting this weekend, and will have stuff to show for it soon!

Also, my work schedule being cleared up helps make time to draw, too... Yeah. Hours got thinned, so yay! I don't have to stay up to 2 am trying to draw anymore XD

see YA soon, folks! Streams will be announced in my gallery uploads! Thanks so much for all your patience!

I've written up a list of brainstorm things in gonna work on:

- Lodi is not a morning dragon
- Lodi gives you the ol' razzle dazzle
- Lodi tries to say 'legume'
- Lodi is not a fan of 'cannible horror films'
- Lodi ponders another of life's mysteries...

I will work on this list tonight! I WILL produce art, tonight! I will not succumb to the temptation of the awesome... Beautiful... Halo 5... @.@ must do art... Must pace myself on the story...

I know, I didn't really get to streaming as I had planned... For that, I am sorry. Have had to work a lot lately so most down time I'm sleeping... Tell YA what, though, just throw in what sort of things you wanna see in the comments here and I'll doodle them up and get them posted. Maybe not streamed art, but I'll be Doin SOME drawin at least...

Thanks again for your patience!

PS: Due to one of my coworkers getting himself suspended, I'm filling in his hours some. I will be working mornings to evenings today and tues, ALL DAY wed, thurs, and fri, and sat n Sunday working evenings. Then next week Monday I gotta travel in evening and return Tuesday morning and will work till evening.

Basically only have tonight and tomorrow night free for arts... Any other late nights probably won't be streamed... Sorry! So, like I said, drop ideas in the comments!

Thanks again!

Well, I think it's time to announce the open door once again! Some necessary spending recently has drained my bank to the bone, so I'm opening up a special on commissions and will attempt to stream Thursday and Friday evenings, and Saturday and Sunday mornings! I will announce the time and locations of the streams with links included so you don't get lost in the dark recesses of the interwebs...

When it comes to streaming I will likely do a mix of both game and art streams. For games, I figure some of you folks would be interested in being featured in the game as well, and show off your mad skillz! (Once I figure out how to connect the stream to furstream, that's a go) I will probably find someone to kickstart this with, and once established might have an entrance fee... Couple bucks, nothing major. MIGHT do that, might not. Well see.

Otherwise, as per normal it will be an artistic free for all drawing session! Doodle drawing with lots of chat inspired randomness! As usual, commissions placed will be immediately attended to once placed.

Pricing: I'm going to open up 5 comissiin spots, and run a special deal: 2 panel non-color hard line drawings for $50. Add color to one panel for additional $15, for a total of $65. Regular drawings for $20, 2 characters in panel for $25, add color to single char frame for $10.

Looking forward to seeing everyone! Comments are most welcome!

Yeah, I know it said it would only go to a few days ago, but because of the lackluster response I'm gonna keep it open for a while longer, probably for another week or so, just to give it some more time to get around before I reset the clock...

Bid/sample page can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17804867/

I had tossed this idea around, and everyone I asked thought it was a great idea, so... I am actually kinda surprised I've gotten just about ZERO public response, save for Eon's inquisition... :( I am sad now... Heh, this'll teach me to pioneer a new and fun idea to try and bring smiles to people! XD

Ok, because I seem to have landed a second job, I don't know what my schedule will be, and I've been watching comments on things and I know a few people seem to be wanting something done! So, Here's my plan:

Friday afternoon I will announce my own person twist on the YCH concept, and will open bids. Explanation to follow with promo image!

I am opening up 5 spots for commissions, and this weekend I am setting my price for color pics to be $50 for a shaded color picture. Weekend deal, sort of!

If anyone is interested, feel free to give me a shout or drop me a note! I'm looking forward to hearing from you all! :)
