Playing Catch-up and a Cry For Help
Posted 6 years agoTLDR at end.
Hello everyone!
Happy New Year to everyone, and I hope your 2020 is leagues better than your 2019.
I have been very MIA the last few months and haven’t had the best communication with my commissioners. I would like to catch everyone up on what’s going on in my life, and what has happened. I will post a TLDR at the bottom for whoever doesn’t want to read all of this. I will try to cut out unnecessary details to shorten this as much as possible (because it's a doozy)
I’d met this person on FA a few years ago, and we had become good friends. In July 2019 we were starting to struggle a little bit because we were stuck paying unreasonable rent prices for a place we couldn’t even be in 98% of the day and could not keep or prepare food in. They had asked several times if we needed a roommate and I had always said no, that I didn’t want to live with roomates again. Well, when we started to struggle I started to open myself back up to the possibility of a roommate. After talking to my hubby, I asked this person if they were still interested. They said yes and we made the decision to move in together. At some point either right before or right after this conversation, our car died. Transmission or something blew, it was a little 1996 Integra with like 200,000 miles on it and was totalled.
This friend had a vehicle they were trying to get off their hands, because they couldn’t afford the monthly payments anymore. They told us if we took over payments for 6 months and could prove it, the bank would let us take over the payments and all would be good. Cool! And we didn’t get or ask for anything in writing because this was someone we had been good friends with for a few years. (Dumb mistake.)
Except that wasn’t the case. A few months of life later and they tell us supposedly it was not the bank who said that, and now it’s getting repo’d because they broke their contract, blah blah blah. A lot of fuckery and a few days later, we had no car.
This was after 1) This person tried to guilt trip me and say that they were only helping me because they had feelings for me. 2) I had just paid for $300 worth of car insurance on it two days before. 3) They knew I was mere weeks away from giving birth. 4) This person had not been paying any of their rent, utility, or internet payments since moving in either. (But somehow did buy art commissions during this time)
Both me and my hubby work delivery jobs. No car, no work. We scrambled around town for days, looking for a vehicle, spending loads of extra money to get places and apply for loans etc. It was rough, it was exhausting, and I was 9 months pregnant.
Now we told this person that we would be switching the car insurance over, because yknow, we paid for it. This person claimed that was all fine and dandy because the car was being repo’d anyway. After begging and applying everywhere, we finally got a loan. (No credit) The DAY we go to pick up the car, boom. Locked out of the insurance. Now I had to drop another $300 on car insurance that day, or I couldn't drive me vehicle off the lot. To top it off we had to split minute switch phone companies as well because he was the owner of the account we were on as well. -$$$
All of this is how I ended my November. Hubby got back to work, I was put on bedrest due to immense pain. December 2nd I had my little boy. His oxygen was low when he was born and he kept spiking low grade fevers so we were in the hospital for several extra days. Tests, XRays, etc. My husband could not work during this time. Due to the incredibly traumatic experience and mistreatment I received with my first child I was terrified to be in the hospital alone. Baby came home on oxygen. He hated it and it was a struggle to keep it on. We could not get more than 7 feet from the tank so it had to be carried EVERYWHERE.
Things have finally settled down now on week 4 and we are starting to get back to a routine. The only person who has been able to work this entire time is my hubby, and he couldn’t work as much as he wanted to with the baby, and with the holidays. He is back to working every day, and I am taking over some hours in the early morning or evening once he is home to bring in what money we can now that I can get back to work (doctor still wants me home another two weeks but I can’t afford that).
To make matters worse, my son is having some issues with his tummy, and I cannot produce enough to keep up with feeding him. I am working on doing things that are supposed to help my supply but until that works, he is being supplemented with some formula.
The problem is, these last two months took everything we had in our savings to stay alive. After being heavily screwed over by someone we thought was our friend, having a baby and having to stay in the hospital longer than we wanted, bringing home our newborn on oxygen, and the holidays… were broke. And we didn’t even buy a single person a gift for Christmas. Not one.
My son needs formula, try as I might I just CAN’T exclusively breastfeed him. He is currently attached to me for like 16 hours a day trying to get full. Because he’s constantly stuck to my chest, it makes it very difficult to work on art as I have limited time But I’ve been learning to draw around him. (I have an appointment for WIC but the soonest they had is still two weeks out. I am on my own to buy formula until then.) We got a sample can in the mail, but that has now run out. The formula he’s been on is $40/can. Formula is stupidly expensive. I believe the off brand cans are about $25.
Rent? Well that was due yesterday and we’re a few hundred bucks short of making that happen. And then there’s car insurance that we need or we can’t work.
We are doing our best to grind out every little thing that we can right now to make money by tomorrow, including selling some of our stuff. But, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be enough.
Any one of you who know me, knows I do NOT like to ask for help. I have turned down many donations in the past. I just don’t like taking money without working for it. Which is how I have gotten myself buried in commissions when times got tough over these last few months just desperately trying to make it.
I will be opening up for a few colored sketches (like this) for $10, but any donations are also welcome at this time. Only sketch commissions right now as I am limited on time. Will re-list some adopts today too.
I’m sorry if I’ve let anyone down these last several months, please get in contact with me.
Thank you friends, and I apologize for the long post. Happy New Years, and I love you all.

TLDR: Bad friend/roommate made bad promises. Screwed us out of a car and all payments we’d made. Locked us out of insurance, didn’t pay their rent. We spent all savings to get a new car. And new insurance after we JUST paid for it.($300) We were stuck without a car and no work for over a week. Then I was put on bed rest. Baby came. Baby sick, on oxygen. Baby comes home on oxygen. Not making enough food for baby, always hungry, stuck to me all day long, doing art hard until baby gets formula. WIC appointment in two weeks. Savings gone, no Christmas. Rent and car insurance due. Cheap commissions. Work has been almost impossible last month and a half to two months. Halp

Life and Commission Updates
Posted 6 years agoHello all my followers, and whoever else stumbles upon this update.
The last 7 months of my life have been... Something else. So lets have a little recap, shall we? (This is going to be a brief overview of shit, there's like 10000 details I just cant include or we will be here for literal years.)
In March of this year, after battling horrible depression and being stuck in a miserable dead end job that made my every day life hell, my hubby and I decided we were going to make a change in our lives. Neither of us were happy stuck in dead end jobs, staying stuck under 6 feet of snow for 6 months in Minnesota, or living in a tiny town. It just wasn't working. My depression got to an all time high, and I had several psychotic episodes, leading to me being put on medication.
In the span of less than 24 hours we decided to get out of where we were at and try something new for ourselves. I had family in Colorado and we decided to make the move to a bigger city and make something of our lives. We packed up everything we could squish into our tiny Dodge Neon, tossed a big ol' roof bag on the top, we left just enough room to squeeze the dog in the back seat with all our stuff, and we left. Over night we drove straight from Minnesota to Colorado. Straight through after being at work all day, no sleep, and little food. But we made it.
We stayed with my aunt and uncle for a while, but they were in the process of working on demolishing their house, so we could not stay long. We worked on trying to grind out as much money as we could to get moved out of their place, meanwhile still paying rent for our place in Minnesota as the lease was not yet up. During this time, we also found out I was pregnant. This also meant now I was ceasing my medications and working on myself without them, for the sake of the baby. Sadly, no place in the city was willing to take us, as I had no credit and his was bad from a previous marriage. So, we found a couple privately renting out their basement on Facebook and decided to try it out. This ended up being one of the worst decisions we could have made, and we didn't even know it.
The people we were living with turned out to be nothing like they had claimed to be. Originally they claimed to only be 420 friendly. Soon we would have them offering us shrooms, and stumbling in to them smoking crack. After one incident of something in the fridge starting to smell (Which I am 99% sure we didn't even buy) they decided we would no longer have a fridge. No stove, etc. Soon they ended up invading every inch of our space that we were supposed to have to ourselves. Going through our rooms, hunting for things to complain about. Going in and out of what was supposed to be our private entrance, etc. They kept us up all night being loud, then deciding to have loud (Like unreasonably loud) sex between 2 and 4 am, waking up anyone who was sleeping. They would then be up between 5:30 and 6 to start shouting at one another and eventually this turned into physical scuffles. The house no longer felt safe. We started going there only to shower, as we couldn't even sleep there due to the noise and violence. We slept on the worlds least comfortable bed in existence in our office. It was awful, and me now at this point being 7+ months pregnant was in a lot of agony.
Health wise: I have been a mess. I started out with to weeks of SEVERE morning sickness. And by morning, I mean all day. I was throwing up every drop of anything that went into my body, I couldn't eat or drink. I threw up all day regardless of whether or not I had ingested anything. Throwing up stomach bile, dry heaving all day. Severely sick. I've had issues with my heart rate and breathing. I cant stand for long periods and i can only sit and lay in certain positions and still be able to breathe. Its been rough. also makes sitting and working on art for long periods painful. I am in a lot of pain every day, along with severe heartburn. I wake up 6 or so times every night. I'm basically eternally exhausted.
During this time, job wise, I had been with King Soopers, making an okay amount of money. But then they cut my hours, the Union started taking dues, and I was left with about $200/week which was quite frankly, not paying the bills. They made my schedule absolutely insane to the point it was impossible to get a second job. They caused me a lot of mental and physical stress. I had doctors notes for very minor accommodations they wouldn't even make. They fought me on everything. So I quit. I've been running instacart, as well as the two businesses we have started since being here. All things considered, they are successful and we are happy. However its been 12-16 hour days for months. We are exhausted. We are overworked, but were making it.
All in all, life has been ROUGH. its been a struggle. But were finally coming out of all the rough. Were catching up, my credit is starting to build, and we finally got into our own apartment. I am finally in a position to sleep, to relax, and to prepare. Because we are going to be having a baby in A MONTH!
Like holy macaroni, I cant believe it. There is a crib set up in my room, I have a closet full of diapers and baby clothes. This is REALLY HAPPENING AND ITS SO CLOSE! <3
_____________________________________
Now as far as commissions go, since you're all caught up, I am getting back on working on things as much as I can. and I will soon be down to doing only art, as I cant physically deliver groceries much longer this close to my due date. There are things that have been in my queue a long time, and I know this. I do apologize and I will be working to clean it all out asap. If you're wondering if you're on this list, please DM me! There are admittedly things I have spaced out and forgotten due to my poor memory and busy life. I will be the first to admit that and I will absolutely get it done, just give me a friendly reminder please and bear with me.
If you have DM'd me in the last few days and I have not responded, fear not I will get to you in the next day or so when I am around my iPad. (Left it at the office). I have WIPs for some of you, and finished items for others. But I am absolutely exhausted tonight and as soon as I am done typing this I am going to bed.
I will be working on things as much as I can and trying to keep everyone up to date, as well as putting out a few little things for cash so I can make sure rent is paid. But no more big commissions will be taken until I am a little more caught up. Hope everyone understands!
I hope everyone has been well. I will be uploading a lot in the next few days to update you guys with what I have been doing as my FA has been dead in the water, but I have been getting some things done. Bear with me! Have a lovely evening <3

Desperate Situation
Posted 6 years agoHey guys. I’ve been a bit MIA lately due to my pregnancy making me sick. (So if you didn’t already know.. we’re having a baby!! ❤️)
We recently moved into a place and spent every penny we had to do so. And... now we have to leave. There is constant screaming happening. They tried to tell us when we moved in that they bickered sometimes. Fox and I bicker sometimes. These people? They are batshit crazy. They scream at each other for hours on end basically every day. Yesterday I laid in bed listening to them scream... and I mean top of their lungs, voice cracking SCREAM.. for two hours straight. Then heard something get physical. Scuffling banging and something shattering. Then the husband yelling at the wife to calm her shit down.
To top it off they ran the internet Fox paid for way past the 1TB limit (HOW??) and they’re letting their friends in the fridge to eat our food.
Oh and the cherry on top. One of them is doing some sort of illicit substance in the house. Presumably crack? Not sure what else requires a pipe and a torch. (And this is a 420 friendly household it was not weed).
So to sum it up.. desperate times, no money, need to move out ASAP due to domestic violence, drugs, etc.
*sighs* Well, fuck.

Updates!
Posted 7 years agoHey everyone!
I want to take a moment to update everyone and apologize for everything that’s gone on lately and the delays.
So I’ve finally gotten in to see a doctor today and got some medication prescribed to me. It was a struggle for me but my amazing partner has been pushing me and helping me get the help I need. So a huge shoutout to
wellbornsteak for everything amazing he’s done and is still doing to help me get better.
My mom also bought me an Apple Pencil for my iPad so I’m able to get art done more reliably and on the go. And I don’t need to sit at my desk In my busted uncomfortable chair and deal with the headaches and migraines my posture and set up has contributed to.
I’m going to push out art as efficiently as I can and will be doing stuff after work on weekdays and on the weekend. My goal is at least one commission per day to get caught up.
If you have any questions or concerns PLEASE get in contact with me. Even if you just wanna make sure you’re on my queue (it got messy in December) please just shoot me a message and I will let you know.
Thank you so much for your patience and well wishes through all this. You guys are so wonderful.

Posted 7 years agoHello everyone. I have some good and bad news. Currently I am working on commissions Saturday and Sunday. This will not change. However I will be squeezing in a few Christmas/Holiday YCH stuff during the week after work. I will take on VERY FEW of these so they are guaranteed to be delivered by Christmas. I will NOT work on these on the weekend as that is for my current queue. But unfortunately we have bills to pay that we cannot push off any longer or we are screwed. We will lose our vehicle. So sadly this is our only option to try to pull in extra cash.
Will have a couples mistletoe ych, sexy Santa ych, etc. if you have any ideas for a holiday themed piece that you’d like to purchase please let me know.
Happy holidays everyone.

UPDATES!!!! PLEASE READ
Posted 7 years agoOh my gosh. Hey guys, so as some of you know, and hopefully all of my commissioners are on the same page with me, I have been in one hell of a situation as of late and I moved my entire life across the globe (Away from my son. </3), and then had to move again. Things have been really rocky and I've had no time to sit and work on artwork... UNTIL NOW! ;D
That's right guys I am back and doing much better than before. I feel good and the art I've been producing in the last day as I've been working on my queue is looking so much better than it was before my hiatus <3 Everything feels great! Owed comms will start rolling out with a vengeance this next week and ill try to stream lots of my work. If you have ANY questions about your piece, please please pleaseee come and talk to me! And thank you all for being patient with me while I go through this rough patch. You guys are amazing <3.
Much love <3

Posted 7 years agoHey guys! Im so sorry for all the delays and inactivity. Ive been.... So unbelievably busy and exhausted.
Ive got a new job. Manager at domino's pizza and i actually love it! Great co workers, nice job and turns out im not a half bad pizza maker! Im learning so fast.
The reason i had to snag a job is because art just.. Doesnt pay the bills. And im getting burned out. So things are slowwww. So slow. And im sorry. I am trying to get stuff done when i can. Sadly rushing around a hot kitchen all day doesnt leave me with much energy.
Monday and tuesday are my days off this next week so ill try to pump some stuff out! Thaaat being said....
Currently im in Virginia. Locks step dad passed away this morning. And it was traumatic. He had a heart attack at like 3 am. His mom woke up and tried to help. She administered cpr. Got flustered. Had to call 911. They transferred her and she had to keep reexplaining the address and emergency. They took a good long time trying to save him with compressions, shocks, epi etc but.. He didnt make it. And she is.... Heartbroken. She is absolutely destroyed and she tried so hard... Im down here for the night to helo him take care of her. She is such a sweet woman. Its been a hot, miserable day and it was a long car ride but im glad i could be here to help her, even a little.
So yeah thats whats going on. I hope all of you are doing well and if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask!

Paypal Disputes
Posted 7 years agoOkay woman. How dare you put me through hell and back on your stupid ass stickers. Begging and pleading and manipulating me into doing more work for the MEASLY amount of money you paid and then you turn around months later and try to pull the money after I finished your commission within three days? GO to hell.
Honesty is a lie
Posted 7 years agoNever trust someone with your heart. Theyll tell you its too big and throw it away.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Posted 7 years agoNotice to all commissioners:
There's been a huge development in my life that involves moving to the other side of the globe in two weeks. But without my son. He will be remaining here in Sweden with his father. This was not an easy decision and it's, for obvious reasons, going to be hell for me. I'll be dedicating most of my free time to spending time with my son, I hope you can all understand and respect that commissions will be slow and I will not be spending as much time at the computer. I'll have my phone around though so feel free to message me if you need to. I will be checking things throughout the day.

UPDATED TOS
Posted 7 years ago✘✘✘✘ YOU MUST BE OVER THE AGE OF 18 TO COMMISSION ANY NSFW OR FETISH ART FROM ME. PERIOD!!! ✘✘✘✘
• • COMMISSIONS: • •
1) The commissioner will write to me in a note everything they would like. Complete with references, and anything else you desire specifically. Theme, pose, etc. There is NO SUCH THING as *too much* information for your commission. Please be specific.
2) I will not make massive changes for free once I have started. It is your responsibility to tell me what you want. Major changes will inquire a fee UNLESS it is something that I personally messed up on or misunderstood (Only in cases where you’ve stated very clearly what you want and I missed it, etc).
3) In most cases, I will send you Work In Progress (WIP) pictures. I usually start with one for the pose, very crudely made. Then another sketch to get details ironed out, then lines.
4) Screenshots (IMVU, SL, ESO) will draw an extra surcharge for usage as a reference. These are not easy for me to use, and I generally very much dislike using them. However, I will still use them just for an extra fee. On cheap things like $3 YCHs it will be a +50% fee. on larger works, perhaps only $5-10. You will have to inquire.
5) I will contact you with updates when available, and you are more than welcome to ask me about your commission but please do not start messaging me multiple times a day, etc.
6)Things and Fetishes I will absolutely not draw:
Scat
Watersports
Cub (in any sexual manner. Non-sexualized cubs may be OK)
Non-Oral Vore (I already don't get vore.. but really, consuming things up your ass? come on now.)
Obesity (There is a SERIOUS difference between chubby and obese. Please learn it. I will draw chubby, I will not draw obese.)
7) Things I will draw. Or at least try. (❤ = Favorite) (∘ = Not a fan, but will draw)
❤Anthro
❤SFW
❤NSFW
❤Any Gender Characters. (Female, male, femboy, intersex, etc)
❤ Fantasy! (Armor, weapons etc)
∘Vore
Bondage
∘Diapers. (NO bodily functions involved.)
Transformation (Like, werewolf stuff or gender transformation. No turning a character into a dick :x)
∘Pokemon. (Anthropomorphized).
Original species (Some I may not be able to draw. Ask first!)
Mechas (I will try, but I can't guarantee perfection.)
Humans
Nekomimi etc.
∘Pony
∘Babyfurs (NON SEXUAL)
∘Feral
Pregnancy (Not in a fetish way)
8) I do not work well under deadlines! I will of course try to get everything out in a reasonable amount of time, but I always want to produce my BEST work, and giving me a set deadline may not render the best results. IF YOU NEED SOMETHING DONE BEFORE A CERTAIN DAY, YOU NEED TO TELL ME WHEN YOU ORDER!!! Not later down the line
__________________________________________________________
• • Payment: • •
I will only be accepting payment through Paypal!
Please either tell me your email for paypal or leave your FA name in your paypal message so I can keep organized!
_________________________________________________________
• • Refunds: • •
In circumstances like small cheap YCHs, refunds may not be given.
Refunds *will* be given to people for larger projects **IF** necessary. Necessary circumstances include...
1) Me deciding I am no longer comfortable with completing the art for one reason or another.
2) Me deciding I cannot take on more commissions at the current moment.
3) I am for some reason unable to finish your piece.
Refunds will be given accordingly with work done. For example, If I have finished the lines or sketch only a partial refund will be given.
________________________________________________________
• • Blacklist • •
I will be having a list of people I will not accept commissions from. There are multiple reasons I may blacklist you...
1) You lying to me about your age in an attempt to get a NSFW or fetish commission from me while you are under age.
2) You filing a charge back against me. Seriously, I will give you a refund if it is necessary, I am a very reasonable person. But I will not refund just because you decide to change your mind when I am in the middle of your work. Trying to yank a charge back off me and locking me out of using my paypal will get you immediately blacklisted for life.
3) Filing an artist beware against me. I will be more than happy to cooperate with you, work to get things resolved and make sure you are more than happy with your commission. After all, I am not happy if you aren't. I want you to love your purchase. There should never be a reason for you to do this. And if you believe there is. I would prefer you speak to me first.
4) You harassed me throughout the commission process on your last piece.
__________________________________________________
• • ART TRADES: • •
1) Most of my standard TOS rules apply
2) Trades will be quality for quality in most cases Art trades are fun! But No one wants to feel like they've been jipped. If you want a full body picture, I will require one in return! And I will produce the same for you :)
3) I reserve the right to turn down any art trades. There are many reasons I may turn down a trade. It could be because I do not enjoy your art style, I do not feel like I could successfully produce what you are asking for, or I do not enjoy your work ethic. If I know I will be waiting 3 months to see anything from you and I have yours done within two days, I probably won't be excited about it.
4) Keep it fun! Most of the time I accept art trades, regardless of my art trade partners skill level. I want to encourage everyone to improve and better their art and keep moving along. So let's keep it all fun and chill, okay? :)
_____________________________________________________
• • FREEBIES • •
1) Most of my standard TOS rules apply
2) Do not complain that your freebie is not of the quality you wanted. With any free art, there is usually someone to complain. I know you might not think that it is fair that I drew the person before you a lined full body, and then drew you a headshot sketch, but that is how it goes in the world of free. If you want something better, you can always commission me.
3) Will not make any significant changes to a freebie.
4) All freebies will be done via special art streams, FREENUTMILK or special posts. You are NOT allowed to make requests otherwise.

Commissions Open. And things going on with me.
Posted 7 years agoHello there. So, TLDR, I am moving to another country. I need money, bad. Like, desperately so any and all commissions are open. Including a handful of things on my no-go list. Open to drawing more fetishes, etc. Feel free to ask.
I will update this with some info on prices later when I figure some stuff out because I don't know much yet.
Face icon: (lined and colored)
$8 solo
$12 couple
Sketchy full body: (colored, light shade)
$15 solo
$20 duo
Lined full body (no/simple background, colored, shaded):
$20 solo
$30 couple
Painted? Ask
Extra details and backgrounds? Ask!
Those are price ideas in my head right now, but please feel free to message me if you have any other ideas for comms. I will work with you! IF you have a budget, let me know and I will work with you to get a good piece for your budget! Headshots, full bodies, half bodies. Sketch, line, color shade, whatever you want. Even starting to work on painted stuff.
The only catch to all of that? Well, my tablet pen got trashed and it'll be another 3-7 days before the new one gets here. So as long as you're willing to wait a bit, ill be working my absolute ASS off when it gets here.
To order a commission you can note me or find me on...
Discord: lovelyg4m3r#6015
Telegram: lovelyg4m3r
____________________________________________
If you want to support me without buying a commission you can always buy me a ko-fi over here
https://www.Ko-fi.com/khunaiarts
If you leave your username (and maybe a ref link?) When you buy me a coffee ill make you a sketch!
Anyways. Yeah, lots going on and its gonna be rough. My son will be staying with his father and that hurts a lot. But it's for the best. To be real, I'm not okay, I won't be for a while. But I can't let that get in the way of making sure I have money to, you know, live.

Well fuck my life, right?
Posted 7 years agoWell, My tablet is ruined. My son decided to put the pen in a bowl of water and let it sit while I napped today and his father, of course, was not paying attention. Not only do I not have a lot of money right now, the money I have needs.. NEEDS to go to my move back to the states. I only have 1 month. So, yeah fuck me right? A new pen is about $112 here. I can get a new tablet for cheaper than that. What the actual fuck.
So yeah. expect more comm delays. There's nothing I can do. But hey, if you've ever considered commissioning me and you're willing to wait, now would be the time. Because I need it. Desperately.

Not OK Today
Posted 7 years agoI don't know why. I don't know whats wrong, I don't know how I am feeling, so please don't ask.
I feel off. Something is wrong. I don't want to move. I've done pretty much nothing since I woke up 5.5 hours ago except sit and stare. I don't know what to do. Kind of want to color something..you know like a simple child's coloring book. Maybe.. I don't know. Life hurts. I've already passed out in my chair once today. I have no energy, no desire to do anything. I slept fine last night. I just feel... Meh.
I'm supposed to cook soon... Hm.
Not working on comms today.

Opening a few comissions
Posted 7 years agoWellllll Shit.
I've been having a lot of headaches and neck pain recently, and my dumb ass just figured out why...
Its because currently is set up on a laptop and the laptop's screen sucks serious balls. Like, damn guys. So, I have an external monitor hooked up to it so that I can do my art because the colors on the laptop are B A D. Unusable almost for art. Everything is severely washed out.
Anyways, this means the laptop is set up in front of me, so I can type etc. and the monitor is off to the side so my head is turned at an angle ALL DAY LONG. And fuck its hurting. So I Switched my monitor to the other side for now but that isn't going to solve my problem, just make my neck hate me less for a day or so. So, I need to purchase a keyboard that I can plug into my laptop so the damn thing can be pushed to the side and i can sit with a monitor in front of my face at a proper angle. Not looking to buy anything fancy like a mechanical keyboard, although, id love one lol. Just need to see what comms I pull in to get something that's not gonna fizzle out anytime soon and still be affordable. (Cause let's be real I'm at my computer on average 12 hours a day working, gaming and socializing. Its gonna see a LOT of use)
Note: I am willing to do a lot of fetishes for these, guys. (Just no scat, watersports, odor etc... Or cock/anal vore) So just ask me if thats something you're wanting.
Opening up:
Sketched Flat Busts for $5
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26535282/
Shaded, Colored Fullbody Sketches for $15
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26115006/
Either of these options can be used for a music-inspired commission! I.e. you give me a character and a song and I let the song inspire the picture.
Will consider opening up one or two polished comms, but since I'm struggling to do those right now with the headaches id rather get sketches. But, I need the cash so if that's what you're looking for let me know.
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26521028/
$10-$30 Depending on what you want
Comment below or note me to snag one. Thanks guys.

Note: I am willing to do a lot of fetishes for these, guys. (Just no scat, watersports, odor etc... Or cock/anal vore) So just ask me if thats something you're wanting.
Opening up:
Sketched Flat Busts for $5
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26535282/
Shaded, Colored Fullbody Sketches for $15
Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26115006/
Either of these options can be used for a music-inspired commission! I.e. you give me a character and a song and I let the song inspire the picture.
Will consider opening up one or two polished comms, but since I'm struggling to do those right now with the headaches id rather get sketches. But, I need the cash so if that's what you're looking for let me know.

$10-$30 Depending on what you want

Time to Wake the F*** Up!
Posted 7 years agoThe last week or two I have been so... gone mentally. Why? I dunno. Days crawl by slowly, getting through them is hard. My sleep is all backwards, some days I'm sleeping 3 hours, others I'm sleeping in until 1 pm. My depression kicked in, Apathy started strangling the very enjoyment out of my day to day life. Before I realize it, it would be 9 pm and id just have done nothing more than stare at my computer slowly scrolling through FA or Facebook all day, accomplishing nothing and having not an ounce of fun in the process. I have almost no one to talk to throughout my day, and those I do talk to, it's usually just short conversations over telegram and then things dwindle off after a few minutes.
The only days I feel good are when I get to spend the day with Lockwood and we play games together and talk. I finally feel relaxed and like I can enjoy myself and I start to work on things during the day while we play 7dtd and I get some work accomplished but other than those days.. I accomplish almost nothing. And only working here and there between in-game days on his day off is not getting me far doing fucking anything, let's be real.
Today, I heard about the death of Kayla-la (Rest in peace angel, You will be missed by this community more than you probably ever realized). She was the owner of the Artist Beware forum. I started scrolling through there and realized that if I didn't pick my ass up and quit wasting away my days, I was gonna turn into some of these artists. I may not ignore my customers, and any of you who have commissioned me should know by now if you have any questions all you need to do is message me and talk to me. I do not ignore any message from you guys! But, I have dwindled away from my Queue again. I have three things left on the main queue. THREE! But, instead I started to dally and doodle personal things and doodle freebies and do some cheap-o stickers and that, that is far from okay.
It does not matter that the people left in Queue are really close friends I talk to every day, I promised them something and I am damn well going to finish it, damnit.
Its time to get my fucking ass in gear, I am so tired of this bullshit with not being able to focus and being so out of it and having no enjoyment from the things I LOVE. Ugh. It fucking sucks. I'm picking my ass up and working on my queue tonight even if it kills me. Maybe I need to see a doctor..

New Account, Account Revision, Etc
Posted 7 years agoSO! I made a new account! But, it's just for the art of my OCs. This account will be so that I can post all the lovely things I commission, without it mixing in with my art. This way, when people come to my page for art they will know what they are looking at is something drawn by me, and not another artist. So yay! Plus I can post much more art I didn't post originally and give all the lovely artists some recognition :)
You can follow that account here:
khunai
Which means I'm gonna delete a L O T of work from my gallery today. Get rid of old stuff I feel doesn't accurately reflect my abilities anymore, things that were commissions, base edits etc. Stay tuned!

What is happening and what is to come.
Posted 7 years agoHey guys. I'm back to regularly arting again. Got 8 commissions done in 6 days, I'm on a roll! Phew, only six left I do believe. So first things first, if you don't see your name on this list and I owe you something, PM me IMMEDIATELY.

Now, for future stuff.
First things first I've been swamped and unorganized and that's not ok. So as soon as this list is done im closing commissions so I can work on revamping. The first part of this will be cleaning my FA. I will be deleting a lot of art. Mostly bad old doodles, base edits and art from other artists. I want my page to reflect me at my best.
I will then be making a Google form of some sort for commissions so I can't lose anything anymore. I don't like being frustrated and confused and my memory is honestly shit, I can't even remember to update Trello.
I will also be changing my TOS as things have changed.
Now once all that is done, I'll be slowly opening slots. I don't want to take in any more than 4 commissions at once. So let that be known!
Further more I won't open regular commissions just yet, I have some themed wing its I'll have slots for to start with.
The timeline for this is all unknown, as I will also be working on some stuff for Ratcha and that will be priority #1.
So thank you guys for being patient and sticking with me. Lots of changes to come soon!
Oh! I've also got a new telegram channel where I'm goin to give heads up to slots opening and such:) so check that out!
Much love

Telegram, and first notice of new stuff!
Posted 7 years agoHey guys, quick blurb here. I have made a telegram channel now (Just for announcements, not a chat group, although i have one of those too) for my art! Go follow t.me/KhunaisKorner for all the latest on my streams and commissions. Those in this will know about certain commissions and freebies days or hours before everyone else! Especially the new stuff that I will be making that I am super excited about! New comm slots will open soon, and for discounted prices!
Well shit...
Posted 8 years agoCame home from my trip feeling slightly icky, assume allergies. Went for a walk in the cold with wet hair. Kept going outside periodically in said cold because Pokemon go addiction. And then stayed up until obscene hours grinding out commissions. (At least I got several done and for that I'm happy).
And then I went to sleep....
And woke up feeling dead. I'm miserably sick. Low grade fever, sore throat, runny nose, achy body, head feeling like I'm in a haze.
Fuck.
Life sucks. Today I veg out on the couch.
Today I was supposed to go across the street to visit my friends new house, but I don't want to get them or their baby sick so I'm staying home. Also supposed to clean because tomorrow is board game night. Fuck. Suitcases still all over in the hallway. Oh well...
Gonna make Dennis get me some multivitamin drink stuff to try to help boost my vitamin c and shit. Took my one a day vitamins and allergy pills and ibuprofen when I woke up. Here's to praying I feel better by tomorrow...
(Let's be real, I won't.)
