So I kind have fallen off the face of the earth :(
My SO and I broke up and I was going through a lot of health and money issues so I felt it best to take a bit of a break from FA.
Honestly I had huge anxiety about coming onto the website because I felt obligated to purchase art even though I really couldn't afford it at the time.

I hope everyone is doing well ^_^ ♥♥
I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings by suddenly disappearing like that.. but I was really not in a good place :(

Sorry if anyone has been trying to contact me! I'm home now!!

So I'm going to head to Oregon for a week next week and then the day after I get back I'm moving into a teeny tiny little studio!
I was able to save up enough money from my job, selling stuff in real life, selling some characters, and not buying food for almost 2 weeks (I work at a restaurant so I was living off salad/soup which we get for free hahah) to be able to afford to move!!!

Thank you so much for anyone who helped me even if it was just to wish me well ^_^ Knowing people care means so much to me!!!
This community is seriously awesome ♥ I love you all!
I'm still saving up money in order to buy furniture/towels/kitchenware/etc so if you are interested in any character I have for sale, check them out here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7739611/

I have to move because the place I'm staying at is no longer available for me.. and well.. I need some help
I don't want to sell any of my characters... but sadly I am really really in need of money..
I am the worst at asking for help.. but I really don't know what else to do right now :(

Money accepted via paypal in USD only
All prices are negotiable

My bestest friend  aliceblackcat is such a talented artist and a pleasure to talk with as well ^_^
She seriously doesn't have enough watchers for the amount of talent she has!!
She is also currently open for ref sheets (she does an AMAZING job at them!!)
Go look at her gallery for examples, you won't be disappointed!

 aliceblackcat <<<go there ^_^

Seriously I have never actually felt like I belonged in any group until this year.
This year has been one of the worst years of my life and I think I would have given up and curled up in a ball and never got out of bed if it weren't for the support and joy I get every day from this community!!
I started over on tumblr, but never really felt connected to anyone over there!
So here I am!

wooo!
^_^

I am so thankful to each and every one of you for making me feel so welcome on fur affinity!! :D
Tomorrow it will be exactly 1 year since I officially joined the fandom and made my first sona Luhana the red panda (who has changed a lot in this year)
Although Miki has become my main sona, Luhana will always hold a special place in my heart!

SOOOO to thank all of you amazing watchers, I am going to do a raffle! ^_^
There will be 3 winners this time and each winner will get to choose one of the following options!!! (I couldn't choose which I wanted to offer so I'm just going to offer them all!

♥Reference sheet of your character using this base: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20139214/ (about that quality)
♥Custom design (like for the 100 watcher raffle!): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19473932/ (same or better quality)
♥Lineless headshots like http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20095139/ (about that quality)
♥Sketchy chibis like http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18833279/ (same or better quality)
♥SFW full body piece with Miki commissioned by another artist

Rules!!:
♥You must be watching me (new watchers welcomed)
♥Don't harass the winners!!
♥Don't complain if you don't win
♥Don't complain about your prize being "not good enough" if you do win.. Know that if you pick something that includes art by me that it will only be about the same quality as in the example.. I am a learning artist and I don't think I'm very good!

To enter just fill out this form!!
What type of prize do you want (from the choices above):
Which of my sonas/characters is your favorite (so I know you actually watch me xD):

This will end Saturday July 2nd at 11:00PM pacific time!
I will choose the winners via a random number generator

So lately I've seen a couple artists that sell adoptables that have certain rules that kind of put me off.
Rules like:
♥ No favoriting unless you want to buy
♥ No commenting things like "I hope they get good home" or "One day I hope to get an adopt from you!!"

I understand why an artist wouldn't want people making a comment that the price is unfair...
but I feel like the examples above are completely unrelated to that and both supportive and innocent!

Am I missing something?
It leaves a bad impression to me when I see rules like that! :(

I found out tomorrow if I get a slot in  madebymercury 's queue for my very own fursuit of Miki!!!!
I accepted a quote last week and they are picking tomorrow (I think)
♥♥ Wish me luck!!


OOOO looks like they are going to start sending out acceptance emails in the next couple days... soo I have to wait a bit longer to find out!!

grrr I want to know! ♥

Here are some examples of what I could do!!
♥Reference sheet of your character using this base: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20139214/ (about that quality)
♥Themed adopts (like for the 100 watcher raffle!): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19473932/ (same or better quality)
♥Lineless headshots like http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20095139/ (about that quality)
♥Sketchy chibis like http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18833279/ (same or better quality)
♥Commission another artist for art of our characters together!
♥Some sort of contest?! (with prizes!!)
♥Other?!?!? (suggestions in the comments ^_^)

Let me know what you would be interested in!! ♥
It will likely be some sort of raffle to thank all of you lovelies!

Also if anyone wants to do art trades for any of those things listed up there let me know!! (they will all be of similar or slightly better quality as the examples)

I'm a waitress, and I was at work and sort of busy! I was taking care of this one couple around my age, they were very sweet and polite! At the end of their meal, the girl told me that she was new in town and really wants a friend! She told me that I seem really nice and would make a great friend!
It was so adorable and sweet and of course I said yes and gave her my phone number!
I don't know if she will ever call me to hang out or if we will even have anything in common, but still it opened my eyes to something.
I always wondered how people made friends and I never even thought once that maybe just asking was even an option. I didn't think it was weird or awkward of her to come up to me and ask (which would have been my fear if I were in her shoes)!!
I would have never had the courage to do what she did!
SO go you mystery customer (and possibly new friend)!
You go girl!

Thank you all so much for entering the winners are.....

EVERYONE!
I think I can tackle all 12 of the designs I was given!

If anyone wants to change anything about their theme, gender, or species, let me know! I have actually already started six out of the twelve designs because I was planning all along to do everyone's design! I'm so sneaky muhaha!

If you didn't enter, I'm sorry! I will do another one of these when I hit 200 watchers! So you can have a chance next time! I don't know if next time will be an actual raffle or if I'll do all the designs again!

I'm planning on having all the designs done by next week, and if not then definitely by the week after!

All the designs will be done on the waitress chibi base!

I loves you all and hope you have a wonderful day! I'm so happy I am able to do this for you lovelies

I can't believe 100 people are actually watching my account! Also I don't really know why, but regardless I am so so thankful for each and every one of you! To show my gratitude I decided to do a raffle for some free adopts! I really want to do video game character themed adopts (originally I wanted to do only league of legends or heroes of the storm champion themed adopts since those are my favorite games, but I'm willing to do any game our anime character as long as it isn't robotic/mechanical looking). You pick the species and character and I do the rest and interpret the character however I see fit. They will be done on a base and you can do whatever you want with them except sell them for money unless they come with extra art!

I will pick four winners! The winners must be watching me, I'll check!
To enter just comment saying you want in and what species and game our anime character you'd like as a theme! If the character is too difficult for me, I'll let you know!

If you journal boost this I'll count your entry twice! Just link me to the journal.

A person can only win one slot!

I'm going to close this on Monday at 10pm pst
If you win and don't like the adopt you receive, please be nice to me. You can offer constructive criticism, but don't just tell me it sucks and you hate it, that does not help me grow as a character designer.

Oh one more thing, if the species you choose is a red panda/tiger hybrid I'd love to get a commission of one of mine (Kiri or Miki) with that character! They could be friends or even mates =)

What should I do to celebrate 100 watchers?!
I could do more free adopts thingies (I have really been improving my character designs, I just haven't posted any)
Maybe I'd let it be custom or something.. I DON'T REALLY KNOW!!

What do you guys think I should do to celebrate 100 watchers to thank you guys?

And again, Thank each and every one of you for watching me and making me feel like I may actually be sort of apart of this community.

I kind of want to go to a con one day, but I feel kind of lame going to a con alone not knowing anyone that'd be there. Should I let that stop me? I don't want to just stand around awkwardly since I'd be all alone (I don't know anyone in the community IRL :( )

Here is an example so you know what you're getting into xD http://i.imgur.com/CZj3d3Q.png

So I have been working on and off to start learning how to art! I have been sketching my own characters, but I think it'd be fun to draw other people's OC's.. I want to warn you ahead of time, these are not going to be very good xD (Hey, they are worth the price.. FREE) I am opening these up only for watchers and am going to start with six at a time and see how long they take me and may open up for more if anyone even wants these. Just comment with your ref and let me know how your day is going (so I know that you read this!)

Rules:
1 per person
After completion I will not make any changes (Hey, these are free! Don't expect perfection)
Must have visual reference (no descriptions)
Give me credit if you repost
Please be nice to me ;-; Helpful comments on how I can improve in art are welcomed, but telling me I suck or anything that is not constructive will result in me blocking you


There will be no background
Any species/gender (mammals will turn out better, but I will try anything)
Complicated designs MAY be simplified to fit my super simple style
Requested props/clothing will be accepted at my discretion. (I am new, if it is too difficult, it is just going to look bad and I want to produce something of at least somewhat quality)

Thank you to those who are watching me!! Since I don't produce much art of my own, and have zero friends in the fandom, I am surprised anyone is watching me at all!

Slots
1.  kadajkitten92 done =)
2.  emolg done =)
3.  banana-bruises done =)
4.  dinogoat done =)
5.  Xion-Pounces done =)
6.

So I've been currently saving up to get a partial or even maybe a full suit because I'm moving away from Alaska and will be somewhere I can actually go to cons/meets and such *cheer*

I want to know which of my characters would make the best suit!!!
I have it narrowed down to Kiri, Miki, or Luhana
Kiri: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17534931/
Miki: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/18091484/
Luhana: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18019097/

I don't know anything about suit making so I don't really know which would translate best into a suit, but if price was no option, which do you guy's think would? Also, which suit makers should I look into and which should I avoid?

I kinda think Miki would make and adorable suit!!!

So here is the deal I'm giving to my watchers only, I will make you a random adopt (you can pick palette and or species (keep it simple please) if you'd like, but otherwise the design is up to me) for free! If you'd like you can tip me in art of my characters (all refs on my page) to satiate my need for cuteness (I am not picky, you could be the worst artist ever and I guarantee I will love you forever if you draw my characters)

Since these are free I'm only going to take on 4 (may do this again if there is any interest)
Just comment with the following form to claim ^_^

Are you going to have a great day today?:

All designs will be made on this base: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15874950/


1)  NefariousNox DONE!!!
2)  RyudenTamarashi DONE!!!
3)  Steiny DONE!!!
4)  nyxluner DONE!!!

I have been going through a lot of mental health issues as of late and have shut myself away in my own little bubble of solitude! That means I haven't been active on FA or tumblr ;-;

I am finally starting to feel better! :D
I have neglected my poor sonas ;-; poor Kiri!!
If anyone ever wants someone to chat with, I am almost always free!

Have a fantastic day ^_^
