one of our closest friends is in jail and we don't know what happened, and we can't do anything to help her
fuck
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

once I finish this last orgy piece, I'm not taking any more commissions for a long time
in general, commissions are stressful to a point already
but on top of getting evicted, getting harassed by the neighbor [directly and indirectly], having bills to pay, not having a real job, not having any solid plans for a new home, and suddenly getting negative feedback on the latest commission's lines when I've never had issues before
it's too much, it's really too much and I hate it


I'd really love to do some care-free, silly art trades and stuff
so if anyone's interested in that, and is near my range of art skill, please contact me

I don't know but it looks like the place we were supposed to move into isn't happening
We're being evicted at the end of this month
So I don't know what we're going to do

Well our landlord served us with an eviction notice, so we have until the end of this month to move out
Luckily, we have a new place lined up to move to, 2 hours from here
But I'm still a bit stressed, as we've been trying to manage remaining bills without having jobs, and keeping food on our plates and such :[
I WILL get all commissions that were bought, done, so don't worry about that
I just might be a tad slow as I'm trying to do them, get packed, get moved, etc
I'm sorry for not being as fast at finishing orders as I usually am

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3313082/

I just wanted to point some things out, that I'd like (prospective) buyers to take heed of:

- Do not harass me over when your piece will be done. With separate orders, I will draw them in the order they are paid. The sooner you pay me, the sooner I'll start.

- Pay attention to the Waiting List [the link is at the top of my profile], it will tell you how many orders are before yours, so you don't have to ask me.

- I have no problem correcting details, feel free to tell me when something is wrong. But do not keep bothering me over things that aren't an issue [even as a joke, it is REALLY annoying].

- Do not nit-pick and make me correct a piece repeatedly because you forgot to tell me to add something last time. Be sure you have ALL your details in line before contacting me about changing something.

-Do not make me wait on you. I like to work as efficiently as possible because my art is my only income, and I have bills to pay. When you buy something, have your information ready asap, and send your payment in a similar fashion.

- If I am obviously not online, do not send me multiple messages about the same thing. It's extremely annoying, and will not make me do anything any faster.

-Manners are lovely. 'Please' and 'thank you' are lovely. Demanding I change details and not using any manners at all is not lovely, and may lead me to avoid doing any business with you in the future.


I may add more later, but yeah. I wanted to point those things out.

New poses to buy will be available soon

I've been doing pretty generic stuff for these pre-pose commissions, I was wondering what kinds of fetish/themes should I post? Make your suggestions below, and if you'd actually be interested in buying said fetish-pose mention it. depending on the feedback, I may do some of your suggestions.

Still unstable with my living conditions. Can't live with Pros, but the friend I was supposed to live with stood me up repeatedly for over a week, so I've given up on even contacting him. Lately I've been staying with another friend, but she has a visitation limit I dont want to exhaust, and her house is kind of stressful due to her two small children (the crying & waking up early from them yelling at 8am or so it kind of rough on me).

Pros is pretty much jobless because his boss is suddenly going mental on all the older employees, so money is tight. I'm not able to use his tablet as often as I used to, but I still need to take commissions when I can. That said, since my time is limited, if you commission me it's important that I get your information ASAP. With bills and rent to pay, we don't really have much time to waste, so I want to get your piece done immediately so I can start a new one.

To those of you who have commissioned us, I'm extremely grateful and I adore you so much for your support. you're awesome people. <3

Guys it's 2 days
I'm sure people can survive without commenting on your submissions or sending you notes for 2 freaking days

Shit just keeps getting worse, I dont know why.

First came the issue of me getting kicked out of the apartment.
> I'm going to go live with our friend Robbie until we can get things sorted out, it's cheaper than going all the way back to MD.

Then last night we came back home and the neighbor beat on our door, just to come across the hall spouting drama at ME over something that never fucking happened. Which rattled us, because she obviously didn't believe me, so now we're just paranoid of her calling the landlord, and I can't get to Robbie's until Monday, so until then I have to basically hide at my friend Heather's house.

And now Pros went into a work meeting this morning just to get suspended for 2 weeks without pay, because he messed up a couple minor things, and I guess someone said bullshit about him talking bad about the top manager, which isn't true. They're also not guarenteeing a job will still be there after those 2 weeks.

Pros is going to be doing a lot of pre-pose commissions, but since I won't be here/won't have a PC, I can't even help out. If Pros can't manage to get 125$ a week, the apartment will be lost.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3154100/

This shit is just so fucking sudden, unnecessary and awful. I'm sorry for all the negative news lately, but it just seems like anything good that happens now is so minor in comparison to the shit that's going wrong.

Pros’s mom talked to him, and explained how I’m from six hours away from here so this was pretty much the only way I could move down here, but he didn’t care at all, and says I still have to leave. So now unless by some miracle we can find a new apartment in two weeks (which is extremely slim to none chances), I have to go back to Maryland. Which is such bullshit. Right here I could have had a job within walking distance in a nice neighborhood. But now if I go back to MD I’ll be stuck at my parents’ place, where my dad refuses to talk to me (for no reason), so I can’t even try to practice driving, even though he probably still goes around telling anyone who will listen how awful and lazy I am for not getting my license and a job, even though now that’s his fucking fault. I can’t get a job because where I live I’d have to hike and its not a great neighborhood, on top of my parents will throw a total fit if I try to walk to work, yet it’d be impossible or a total burden if they drove me.

So I get to go back to Maryland where I have nearly no friends, to sit on my ass and do absolutely fucking nothing with my life, rather than be productive and get a job and my own car. Oh and who even knows when I’ll see Pros again, with a busy work schedule, band practice, and very limited income it’ll be near impossible to even come get me again.

Life is just fucking awesome. You get to be so fucking happy and then someone just has to ruin everything for no goddamn reason.

Thank you to all my commissioners lately, I'm extremely grateful for all of your help. I'll just be honest, I have no hope of finding a new apartment in time. I'm beyond stressed out over this. I also have to go back to MD and deal with the court system because I already responded to my jury summons telling them I wouldn't be a resident at the time, but it looks like that's fucked.

I'll be finishing all the remaining commissions soon, so don't worry about that.

There is a waiting list posted here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3112251/
It is also posted at the very top of my profile for quick access.
Orders will be done in the order they are placed and listed.
As each order is completed I will mark it off the list, so you can check back and see my progress.

I will start on orders tomorrow, there are still a few poses and cheap 6 adoptables
available to be purchased.

I also can do ref sheets (between 15-25$), icons (5-10$), and custom pose commissions (prices vary).
Note me for details.

TL;DR at bottom

Well everything was going amazing, I'm living with Pros, I'm a few days away from getting employed just down the street, I have a stable social life.

But not anymore it seems. Our neighbor, rather than actually talking to us, decided to call in a ton of complaints in to the landlord over bullshit. She decided to make it out as if there were 4 people and 2 babies living here (which isn't true) and that we were bringing the place down. This coming from the woman who can't use a door without slamming it (no matter the time of day or night), screams at her not-really-boyfriend-baby-daddy, turns up her tv rather than attend to her crying baby, and plays her music so loud I can hear it like its being played in our apartment (even with our tv on). We totally tolerate this woman's unreasonable behavior, we dont say a word to her or the landlord. But I guess when she got a taste of her own medicine (our one friend who stays here once in a while has twin 1 1/2 year olds who would cry sometimes) she went ballistic.

Today the landlord showed up while Pros was at work (it was the worst possible timing, because Pros wasn't there, and we had two friends and the babies over to visit), he gave me a new key to a lock he changed/fixed on the building and told me to have Pros call him later. Pros called and the landlord said I have to leave or we have to move out, and any time Pros tried to reason with him, he refused to listen. It's absolute bullshit, because the woman across the hall can have her 'boyfriend' and baby, our other neighbors can have their kids, but right now the landlord is forcing Pros to live alone.

Everything is teetering on tomorrow, and if Pros's mom can convince the landlord to let me stay. In the meanwhile I'm going to bust my ass doing as many commissions as possible because there's a huge chance we may have to move, and money is going to be extremely thin since I might not be able to get a job (I have no car).

TL;DR:
I might lose my apartment, I might lose my job opportunities, I'm extremely stressed, I need to do some emergency commissions starting tomorrow.

EDIT: I'll be posting a ton of poses to buy tomorrow, but I'm also open for any other kinds of commissions. I can do ref sheets, icons, emotes, you name it. I can also take custom poses if you send me a photo (of wanted pose).

Tips on commissions are graciously accepted, and so are donations. Note me for my PayPal so I can keep track of all donations, so I can compensate you with some sort of art at some point.
