Okay I know a lot of you thought I was doing better when I posted that thingy. Well I was, for a day, but now I'm back in bed the last 3. ;w; I really am not sure what is going on with me, but I feel super awful, and the other night I had an anxiety attack/panic attack and thought I was dying. It was disturbing as all heck and I ended up crying in bed, afraid to go to sleep so I watched cartoons. But that's not the main point. I can barely eat, I"m losing weight, I can't even sit up in bed. I've been this way for three weeks with no apparent reason as to why. The only clue that is known is that I developed an allergy to my own saliva. Now things are actually getting worse for me. Aside from feeling awful and being unable to do anything, now I'm getting weird allergic reactions to food as soon as I eat. I start getting chills down one side of my body, and break out in this giant itchy rash across half of my body.

So for those of you who pray, your prayers would be greatly appreciated. I'm honestly not sure at all what's up and there's not much I can do until I can get in to see my specialist on the 17th. He wants to check and see if I've developed ulcers or really bad erosion from some of my other issues.

So I know I say this a lot, but I'm not ignoring you guys, I really WANT to interact, but I've just been feeling so awful that about all I have the strength to do is view some of those comments.

I won't lie, I am a bit down. Not depressed, just discouraged, and decently scared. I presume I'll probably get better, but when it goes on this long it always makes me wonder if its my new normal (because that has happened over the years where things get worse and then they stay that way.) And the fear comes from not being able to do what I love, naturally. =. So yeah, going through a rough patch here.

Obviously me being unable to get up effects the progress of commissions. I actually am still working on a set up that allows me to work some from bed, but with how awful I've been feeling, even that is not a plausible option at the moment. So no, I'm not saying that anyone's commission is cancelled, just that this is why its taking me longer.

I have been informed I have an impersonator. This actually has happened before, so there may be others as well. Simply put! =o so if you "me" on a site that I don't have listed here, please come ask me over here if it is in fact me. Becaaauuuse, yeah, not me on this other site. And they're both claiming my name/my art. Namely the one that was brought up is over on ifunny.

Apparently they've even been giving away my characters to people. That is very much not me, guys.

Them aside, I know this has happened on other sites before. So if you happen to see anything suspicious please let me know, and just be careful because it might no be me. =) And I'd hate for anyone to get the wrong impression of me from impersonators @ n @ thanks everyone!


--still sick in bed btw |D


The two that are totally not me,

There may be others but those were brought to my attention.

I've been debating back and forth whether to start giving canine characters more of a muzzle or not and experimenting with such as well. See it is a fairly common assumption, in my observation that the ability to draw these, or the lack there of, make people come to conclusions about an individual's "skill." But that's silly, just because you can draw something doesn't mean you choose to include it in your particular style, and just because there is a lack of it doesn't necessarily mean the person doesn't know how to draw it.They could just choose not to.

Long story short! I've always felt longer muzzles mess up my style, and I still feel that way. So I'm not going to be switching to a longer muzzle style and if people don't like that, well then I'm sorry. I am capable of drawing them, but I'm opting out of it for my style. That said, you can expect my art to carry on looking as it already does =o

I'm not entirely sure why I decided to make this an announcement but I am.

If I have failed to respond to you at this point, please send me a Note, and I will reply promptly. I think I got through them all but want to make sure I didn't miss anyone. If you do not have a response from me, please send me a bump reminder!

Secondly! If we have already gone over the commission process (whether paid or not), make sure your name is on this list. If it's not , please let me know!
https://docs.google.com/presentatio.....ga3d403bf7_0_0

Thirdly!
If your name appears on the list but the status is incorrect, please let me know! I've been running through a lot of commissions and it gets a bit hectic to keep it all straight, so I want to make sure we've got everything right!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to post!

And a final reminder, commissions are closing soon, but they are open until I post otherwise.

Just a reminder, if you want a commission and haven't contacted me yet, you may want to do so. Commissions will be open about a week longer--I think that's how long my ad is up, then they'll be closed after that. The idea is to go into the indefinite closure, but I'm not going to say without a doubt that that will be now.

After all is said and done, I'm still waiting to hear back from my doctor about the exact price break down because apparently she cut a tendon in her hand and has been out of the office for a week, so if I'm short or need to make up the difference they'll probably open again. Plus I don't know the future of my medical needs so they could be open for that too. Long story short! If you want a guarantee that you'll get your commission, be sure and note me in that weekish time span! Because once they're closed there's no telling when/if they'll come back!

And to everyone who has been kind enough to help me out, through whatever means, it has been greatly appreciated! I'll have more to say later on that, but I need to sleep right now. Been fighting with an infection. X3

Okay I normally try to resist posting journals like this so I really do apologize X.X but I need to make some current issues clear, and I know people post journals like this all the time which is why I've been trying to resist such, but ah well, here we go.

So most of you know, I've been saving up to get a new tablet, this is essential to one of my lines of work (which is commercial work in books, graphics, and coloring books (in the work). So its an investment into one of my income methods.

Secondarily, or perhaps it should be listed first. I have a crud ton of medical issues. I don't usually go into detail about them online cause sad sob story and so forth and people tend to think one is faking it. So. Going on about 11 years of issues and I've been going downhill rather than getting better. Doctors are not finding fixes, its expenses out the ears with no real good results, process of elimination. They've found plenty of things I do and don't have, but the point is, I need a bunch of tests right now, and I mean a -bunch- and they're expensive because my insurance doesn't see it as medically necessary, because they can't find a label to put on it. (Like $5,000 =c )

Now we're talking pretty serious things like liver being on the verge of giving out, malabsorbtion, nausea 24/7, awful immune system and joints, EDS, they suspect I have a virus living in one of my organs or something that's basiclaly just been there the whole time (that's one of the tests), and they said levels of something I forgot what it was called indicate I have to have internal bleeding somewhere. That and my stomach leaks bile into it, which causes constant irritation, they're trying to figure out why. I've been to specialists all over the state, this is more or less our final hope here and after that, it's off to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.....if we can afford it. Which we currently can't.

Me and my parents alike as well as some relatives have been putting money into this, but now my parents' money is pretty depleted as well. My dumb health issues very much keep me from being able to do normal things, even managing a job is super difficult and that's with working at home for my dad. My health is just spiraling something awful, so I really do need to get this income. Now I'm pretty darn desperate and so I've gone all out on what I can, selling lots of my stuff on ebay, taking commissions full time and setting my personal stuff to a complete halt, I'm going to start trying to make plushies n stuff again on the weekends to sell (When I'm not working my regular job and commissions), I've opened an Etsy, I've got some stuff on zazzle, I'll be having another book coming out soon, been doing adoptables, etc. And that aside I have another job as an office tech ,which is getting increasingly hard due to my health. Likewise the more I do the more my health tends to plummet X.X

The point is, no health fixes, no job, no job, no insurance, no insurance no meds. No meds, Smooleh starves to death because can't eat without them =I I know that may sound dramatic but its where I'm at and quite honestly I'm very concerned. I'm pretty desperate. Its a vicious circle and I know this is the case for many people as well, but I'm just throwing this out and asking if anyone could help me. ;w; I'm not asking for free stuff. I'm really trying my best to bring in money with all the skills I know how to use, but I assure you donations wouldn't be turned down all the same. >,> I'm really sorry ;w;

And even if you can't support in that way, even if you could just spread the word, it'd really be appreciated. As I said I know these journals get posted a lot by people, but I'm kind of at the end of my rope so to speak. And for those wondering well then why the heck am I going to AC, that was done before I had to start seeing 6 new doctors all out of network of insurance, have surgery and a few other odds n ends, and since the stuff isn't refundable it'd be pretty stupid to not go. It was also before my dad's employees messed up some hefty priced items.

On that note, a final thing, I really need the money now, but obviously I can't get all the commissions done instantly, I know my list is pretty long, but I'm going to be working at it every day once I get home from AC. And I swear I am not making this up, if you talk to the people I know well they can confirm how I'm always in and out of the hospital. X.x

I'm willing to do most non sexual fetishes other than a few I've outlined. And you're always welcome to ask. I will do Babyfur as well--so long as its clean. I also updated my will and won't draw list. One other thing to keep in mind is, while I'm willing to do other fetishes, I may not have extensive knowledge in how to make them look, but I'm certainly willing to try. Still gathering money for the tablet!

And here's the link to commissions:

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6836623/

Another note is while the list is currently long, I will be blazing through them soon--It's just been on hold while I've been preparing for AC.

If you want commissions, now's the time to get them! =) They'll be closed indefinitely after I reach my project goal number. That doesn't mean they will never be open again, but they won't be open to this degree and it could be well over a year before they may open for a few slots etc.

The deal is my commissions will be open until I get enough funds to by a new cintiq tablet. After that they're probably going to be closed for a long time. (Indefinitely) so if you're interested in getting commissions now would be the time to do so =) and also well it'll be quite helpful for me. I need the big space since I do a lot of commercial size works, the space would be helpful and mine's so old its having a lot of resolution compatibility issues.

Current progress $1,560 of $2,900 goal

**Note** I won't be asking people to pay until there's only a few commissions ahead, that way you're not waiting forever for the results.

As another side note, I am totally fine with drawing clean babyfur art/cubs =p

Many of you know I don't have the best of health, so working is a struggle for me. I have a regular job and a secondary job as an author, and my stupid health takes ALL OF IT. So I've been trying to save up for a new tablet to replace my rather old one. The goal is to take commissions until I reach that goal. After that they will be closed indefinitely so I can pursue my projects of webcomics and books fulltime. Well, full free time.

So anyway I would super duper appreciate it if you guys could signal boost me. =)

I forgot to mention that Paradox Delirium is my new fursona--as well as a character for Delirious Deadlock, a little side project of mine.

Also I've been getting my butt kicked by my health so excuse the much updates.

I totally forgot to mention, I post adoptables over at: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/paradox-adopts/ now to keep from spamming this account.

Thanks for the help everyone. =) Just leaving the journal up so I can recall who thought what now.

I prefer to have a more discussion friendly journal on top so I'm bringing this concept back around. A few months back I spoke of doing shortish stories alongside my others--which are indeed a plan and in the works, but I also wanna do true short stories. Like 10-20 pages (or longer >,> depends on how motivated I am and how complex it is.) That I'd post here just for people's enjoyment. After I collected up a decent deal of them I might also toss the proposition at my publisher to maybe publish it in a book format (with the several mini adventures contained within.) So yet again I'm tossing out if you guys wanna suggest anyone from the 'deviv universe, go for it. No limits on how many, no restrictions really. So long as its a character of mine and related to the 'deviv world (That means Qwuedeviv and the other species like Qwujakuhl, Tuulimede etc.) I'll put it on the list for consideration. If you like one that has already been suggested you can also state such and I'll put how many people suggested it in parenthesis.

Pretty much every character have has the potential for at the very least a short story, and short stories are a great way for me to keep my writing voice sharp. They're a lot of fun and kind of a stress relief for me. I might add a couple that I personally think would be great too. I really do like some of the suggestions thusfar though too. ouo

I don't expect anyone to really comment on this here, but I'm posting it across the three main sites I go to just incase. =)

Regardless to if you are personally interested in said adoptables or not, what are some species that you think people would either like or you would etc.

They can be the cute and furry type
The weird and fascinating type
Just whatever.
Ahm curious to hear. =)
Will probably be making a few adoptables here and there whilst working on other stuff.

Currently debating on whether to do a large one or a small one =)

The benefits of large are obvious, it'd be neat and have many characters, the downside is it would take all my time from current projects thus delaying them until after christmas. So what do yout hink? Big or small?

Also I've been telling people at the varying sites that they're free to toss out ideas. ^u^ I've got a general idea in mind but you never know when something might spark my interest that I wanna add or something. =o

Had unexpected surgery last week. Had to have my appendix removed and then ended up back in ER because I just exploded in pain and was screaming in this gosh awful way, barely breathing and thrashing on the bed. It was seriously weird and scary. Anyway so now I'm still stuck in bed, hoping to be able to get up and draw again soon.

It kind of threw a curve in my plans. Had been trying to make some money because I have this suuuuper expensive medicine that I need to try apparently. No clue if it will work even, which is not extra comforting, but this thing could be as much as $800. Doctor said insurance doesn't usually cover it for the reason I need. Insurance is such a pain.

That's my other concern currently. Seeing as I had to go to the hospital, I have no idea if the doctor who performed the surgery was 'in network' or 'out of network.' I didn't have much choice at the time, but I could end up with a huge bill for that. The hospital and ER visit itself are largely covered by my insurance, but individual doctors working within the hospital are not always. Bleh.

So that's my life updates for the moment. Also trying to get the second Qwuedeviv story finished up--it's running a bit behind schedule thanks to all the problems as well.

Anyway just wanted to let everyone know where I've been. =p

Anyway. I used to draw a ton of feral cats (You know, four legged). Then I randomly went to more "furry" style. Well, I'm thinking I might like to draw some kind of comic thing again with such. It wouldn't be official to the Qwuedeviv plot line or anything. It'd essentially just be for fun in either a world where they simply were four legged kitties or something turned them into such.

That said, since it isn't 'official' I'm asking opinions.

The Idea:
The idea is to throw together some Qwuedeviv through some circumstances whether serious or funny or whatever, in feral cat form, just for the fun of it. It would be like a comic. It's just a vague notion right now. So I'm trying to see if anyone is even interested in this and if so what direction if any you'd like to see it take. Tis one of the rare occasions where I can actually ask what you guys. So wanna join in on a little fun deviv discussion? Feeeeeel free. =)

Heck there could even be the possibility of them meeting other characters that are non deviv--like other feral cats, wolves, whatever. Aka we could have some guest characters in this depending on what route we take.


Some of the Questions:

Is this something anyone would even be interested in seeing?

If so, would you prefer them to be only deviv colored, or would you prefer to see them as feral cat while retaining a lot of their characteristics (like tentacles, oddly shaped tails etc)

Which Qwuedeviv would you like to see in it?

If anyone doesn't know what Qwuedeviv are out there, click the links along the left after hitting this link:



Opinions and Other stuff:

Got any ideas you think would be fun or interesting in regards to the idea? Here's your chance to toss it out. As I said it would just be a for fun unofficial project, so depending on who you guys want, and some of the ideas, we may get something together here.

Also would be helpful if you would like to mention if you'd prefer something funny, serious, dark, dramatic, romancy, etc. You know what I mean lol.
