Not going to be around from tomorrow evening to the afternoon of the 23rd then through the holidays I may be a bit scarce here and there. After the buzz of Christmas comes to a close Ill be opening commissions shortly after, probably around New Years. So If you have been looking to get something from me keep your eye out around then. Ill be posting a commission journal and submission during the evening hours.

If anyone needs to get in touch with me in the meanwhile, I will be slow to respond as my parents dont have a reliable internet connection but I will be checking in on things every couple of days or so. I probably wont respond to social messages, but Ill do the best I can!

On an ending note, Welcome all of you new watchers! After my dump numbers got big fast and as much as I would like to thank all of you individually, it was a little too many for me to handle lol. So heres hoping at least some of you see this :P

Have a wonderful holiday season everyone<3

HI HELLO THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND SUPPORTING MY WORK!!!

I just wanted to make a shout out to all of you new watchers!! After Bowser day they just keep pouring in and I am so flattered I wish i could respond to them all but there are so many of them!!!

Thank you guys! Also thank you to all my current watchers who left kind words on my work<3 I havent forgotten about you!

Ive been pretty sparse this past week because my dumb ass thought it would be a good idea to fill the national pokedex in Omega Ruby lol(468 out of 705 needed for the charm!). But Ive been Lurking watching all of this take place and Im grateful for all of you<3.


Also while im here its worth mentioning that ill be open for commissions again within the next week or so!

Cheers<3

Hello again everyone! its that time again finally!! Comissions!

Before everthing id like to ention a couple of changes i made to my tiers:

-Greyscales level of polish is going to be scaled back, I was spending too long for payment recieved on it (which is my fault for getting carried away lol), sorry if this is an inconvenience to anyone! An accurate example has been posted in my commissions tab to reflect this change!

-Flat sketches are now a thing! they are for the same price as greyscale sketch! Woo inexpensive color option!

Anywho, im going to be opening 3 slots for now, Ill probably open more if these fill well!

By some stroke of fortune Im going to Hawaii between these dates!

I will open a round after that time! I didnt want any commissioners to be waiting while I was away so I decided on to take any before this trip was out of the way!

Thanks for reading, hope you guys are having a nice summer so far:). If any of you want to see any updates about my trip I will probably (try) to make posts to twitter so you guys can follow me there if you wish :P.

Cheers!

I accidentally ordered the wrong frequency recently (1600MHz) and I need 8g at 1066MHz.

If any of you have any extra lying around (or an extra motherboard and processor that supports the RAM I have lol) I can trade the RAM I have or art for it.

Im open to buying the memory flat out, but it will need to be a sweet deal.

If youre interested and have the parts I need, note me. Thanks!

Im curious because I hear a lot of people are using adblock because of IMVU.

I wanted to get a space, but Ive been hearing a lot of negative remarks about how a larger amount of people using adblock is really hindering community based advertisement and its effectiveness.

Any input is appreciated!

I might be getting a desk this weekend instead of in july!! Wooooooo. Now lets hope it fits my measurement specifications.

I decided to take a look around craigslist since Ive already had a bad experience with amazon and backordered products and Ive found a couple of potentials.

Though geez, looking for a desk when you have limited space is a real task lol

*flais with excitement*

Hopefully, Ill be opening up a small round here in the next few weeks (between 3 and 5 spots). I may wait until after my vacation to open up which should be mid/late next month. However, its somewhat dependent on whats going on on my end. Its been busy with family matters and getting some things with my health figured out (nothing serious!).

I might be making some changes to some commission tiers. Most of it is tentative, but if you have any questions or concerns, please ask away!

After this coming round I am probably going to take a break from commissions and take some time to focus on self improvement and bettering my skill a little bit more. I feel there has been something missing in my work lately, so I want to fix that.

Also, Im currently waiting on a new desk and computer to reach me! Computer stuff will be here within the week...but the desk is going to take a while to get here. My current workspace is uncomfortable, so I need to change that if I want to be successful with commissions! So there might be a delay depending on that!

Ive had a few people ask me about commissions lately so I figured Id make a thorough update!

In short: Hopefully soon! Then a bit of a hiatus!

Thanks you guys for your interest in my work, It really means a ton <3

I wish I could keep in contact with folks better. I feel like I've missed out on knowing so many neat people due to not being good at it.

Been trying to branch out and use social media a bit more but even that's difficult x.x. oi lol. this is the sort of thing that makes me wonder if I have depression.

This is a bit of a follow up to my last journal where I was looking for feedback on a few things from you guys.

This one is a bit more directed at those of you I have worked with in the past. Lately I feel like I havent been as involved with customer satisfaction as I should, but I didnt really know how to address that. I try to provide the best service I can, but at the end of it all I find myself feeling somewhat unsure of my performance and like I should be doing more to give you guys a way to easily give feeback on your experience working with me!

Anyways! Here it is! The new and shiny customer satisfaction survey!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Vv.....?usp=send_form

Its only 4 questions long so If we have worked together before in any way, I encourage you to fill it out!
If you cant fill it out right now thats ok, it will always be up on my profile if anyone needs it.

Thanks for reading!

So recently Ive been trying to push my work in a lot of different directions( varied backgrounds, character design, adult work) and break out of my comfort zone and diversify my gallery. Some attempts being successful, others not so much (at least in my opinion). Its been a pretty up and down journey so far and its left me with a bittersweet taste in my mouth and I find myself wondering where to go from here.

However, since my opinion can only come from my perspective, Im curious about what you guys think. After all, you guys are here because you like to look at my work, so who better to ask!

Where do you guys think I excel and what do you think I need to work on?? Please give your most honest opinions! I am especially interested in my areas that need improvement!

Id also really like some feedback from past clients! How satisfied were you with my service? Was the product you received satisfactory or did it leave something to be desired? Is there anything else you feel is worth mentioning about our correspondence or the art you received?
I worry about these things a lot while working with people and I would love to hear from you!

If any of you would prefer to disclose this information privately, please feel free to note me if it makes you uncomfortable to comment.

If you would like to give me feed back anonymously ill turn off anon on my art tumblr and you can send me your answers there!
http://lucaryu.tumblr.com/

Thanks you guys for your time and even more thank yous if you comment as your help and feedback would be beyond valuable to me!

This is gonna be a bit of a different pace than most journals I post on here. I usually tend to be a bit shy about sharing my personal life online ^^' but this is interesting so I think ill give it a go. I mean, I share all kinds of kinky shit with you guys, so why am I even trippin lol?

Inspired by  RequiemBeatz's Journal over here

The journal is basically about clarifying confusion regarding personal standings! After reading the journal, it got me thinking about how I treat people I favor, dislike and the variations therof. So here we are!

Those who I...

Hate:

I dont really hate anyone really, Im a pretty calm (i.e. lazy) person that gets tired of being angry pretty fast. Unless youre actively provoking me or upsetting me or have done something awful to upset me recently, youre not on this list. Hate for me is an "in the moment feeling" for me.
Im a pretty forgiving person, and it takes a lot to earn my ire, but I dont really forget and I usually dont open up to that person fully ever again, even if we mend bridges.

Dislike:
-very few people
-Weve met or share space but dont exist to eachother. Im not going to willingly associate with someone I dont want to.
-No emotes, no lols not a large participant in conversation etc. (If we talk often or there is no reason for me to dislike you and Im doing this, Im probably just having an off day or an preoccupied).
- Ill probably treat you civilly and respectfully unless youre giving me a direct reason not to, but Ill stay just out of arms reach when it comes to trying to get close to me.
-responses are really cut and dry, blunt and maybe even snarky
-drop off of conversation out of nowhere.

Base line is if you havent given me any reason to dislike you, then I probably think youre pretty alright. Also, if Im giving really bland replies it might be because im getting bland messages or I dont know how to respond, this happens often with people I dont know very well. Im also forgetful so there is that too lol ^^'

(If for any reason people feel like I dont like them they can always ask, Ill always give an honest answer. Im also usually very willing to hash things out in any misunderstanding)

Am neutral with:

-most people
-generally friendly and chatty, but still somewhat distant/formal
- I probably wont reach out for conversation with anyone Im neutral with solely because I can be shy and I know my tendency to be chatty/long winded can be off-putting to people.
-Emotes and lol is common punctuation
-Usually let you lead the conversation because Im figuring you out but Im an active participant in conversation and try to match level of involvement with other party. Get what you give kind of thing.


Fond of (people I genereally like, the spot between good friends and neutral):

-Even more chatty. I like to talk about the things that I like and chattiness increases if we share a common interest.
-Im generally more vulgar or crass. Foul language might increase as I feel more comfortable with someone and the relationship becomes less formal.
-If I know that someone enjoys my company, I usually open up a lot more to them as Im less afraid of stepping over any boundaries.
-will probably ask you what your "favorite *insert thing here*" is. I want to know about you! Tell me about you! Ill tell you about me in return!

Friends(close friends):

-not very many people, I dont try to be selective, but I have a hard time forming strong connections with people so its really nothing personal!
-Welcome to "lets talk about all the things". You have something on your mind? I wanna hear all about it! Ill tell you all my thoughts on it etc. Stupid things, important things, pointless things, ill talk to your ass all night.
- Congratulations, you are friends with a big dork weirdo, you have now realized this
-Very informal language, more emotes and lols
-I can also be less chatty as I dont feel the need to fill the quietness.
-Limited boundries, we know what offends eachother
-Protective.
-*Hugs*
-Calls you "hoe"

Romantic interests:
-I am all up in your shit.
-If you are this person then you will know. Im a massive flirt and love to please.


I think that sums it up pretty well. I really tired not to over explain myself x.x. All in all im kinda a "go-with-the-flow" "get what you give" type of person. Most of the time I will treat you how you treat me. The more genuine interest you show in our interaction, the more likely ill be interested in talkign to you. When i dont feel like someone is interested in talking to me, its off putting.

Overall this is pretty general as everyone is different and all interactions are different but I just thought it would be fun to do this!

Throw some at me!

Ive been considering one for a little bit but ive been struggling with where to put it. I have a few ideas, but I was wondering what you guys could think of and what you all thought was appealing :)

Thanks for reading!

WOO!

First off, thanks you guys! Holy moly, its been a long ass road to this milestone, but were finally here....

RAFFLE BITCHES!!

Edit: Alright closed the requests so i dont roll and people get missed or something! Thanks everyone!

Back from home! Now, its back to work!
Ill be finishing up some backlog this week since there wasnt much room to get anything done while I was away.

Hope you all had a nice Easter/spring break/whatever you celebrate!

Cheers~

I wont have any access to the internet between these dates (my parents dont have internet) so if you need anything from me, I will be able to respond until about mid Saturday! After that Ill be off the grid!

Cheers~

Im getting close to a thousand watchers o.o

Thanks everyone!

A new milestone approaches :3

Maybe ill do something special when the time comes...
