Hey Nerds!
Posted 5 years agoHaven't written a journal in a damn long time... you'd think I've not really been active here lately..
I am very slowly gaining weight.
Posted 6 years agoFor the first time in my skinnyboy life, my eating habits are actually showing visible consequences and I've gained like 20 pounds in the last two years.

[CLOSED] Commissions - 4 Slots
Posted 6 years agoHey guys, I'm opening 4 commission slots! I've decided to be even more careful with how I spend my money (I'm kinda frugal as it is so this isn't really a major change haha) but now when I want something kinda extra, I'll try to do some extra work instead of dipping into my savings.
RULES:
- As usual, please send a note with your idea!
- Please include your PayPal email (I accept PayPal ONLY) for invoicing purposes in the initial note.
- Please include any relevant character references in the initial note. Drawn references are preferred, but I will charge extra if I need to work from a written reference (unless the character is absurdly simple like "typical grey wolf").
- I draw a maximum of three characters per image, with some price adjustments based on complexity/details.
- I don't charge extra for most nsfw/fetish content but I have limits and will not draw gore, vore, scat, watersports, or certain other acts.
- I expect the commission to be paid IN FULL before I begin working on it. I am lenient enough to give you a few days to get the money together (so long as I have another commission to start on before I get to yours then I won't harass you) but I will not start work until I've been paid. I always get the work done, or give a refund if I can't; not all commissioners have been as reliable.
PRICES:

I will try to reply tonight or tomorrow to let you know if you have a slot. I work full time so please allow me a few days or weeks to finish the images, depending on what people ask of me.

Posted 7 years agoJust letting everyone know that prices have gone up. I will be starting a full-time job soon and intend to take fewer commissions, but always feel free to send a note regarding availability!
Thanks!
Thanks!

[Closed] Commissions Reopened!
Posted 7 years ago[CLOSED] Collab Commissions
Posted 7 years agoCollaboration Commissions!
Hey everyone, good news!
fuegodelalma and I will be working together to release sketch commissions! The idea of this is to produce a series of images ( example 1 example 2 ) in less time and with less stress on a single artist (and also we like drawing together!) as well as providing what we think is a great platform for people to get pictures with friends!
===========================Pricing and Rules!===========================
> For now, we'd like to start with 3 slots per month! This may be reduced to 2 slots for a month if a particularly large series is purchased.
> Sketches will be $16 each for two characters
* +$6 for flat colors, per character per sketch
* +$10 per extra character, per sketch
Maximum of four characters in each sketch
> Minimum charge of $30, eg:
* Two two-character sketches, totalling $32
* One four-character sketch, totalling $36
> All payments are to be made in USD via PayPal
> Alma and I will discuss and decide which character(s) we'd like to draw- the commissioner may not elect their preference
> Alma and I work through the week and will do our best to work on these in the evenings and on days off- please be patient. If it looks like we'll be particularly late, we will contact you to discuss.
Don't worry about splitting payments- our goal is to make this as simple as possible, so, from your end, it will be much like commissioning a picture from just one artist.
You may contact either Alma or myself via notes- either one of us will be happy to help and to answer any questions!
And, as always, feel free to ask any questions or get a price before committing.
Thanks!

New Phone Commissions
Posted 8 years agoWelp
That sucks but let's do a thing
Gonna take three slots at a time!
Let's draw some lewds!
Send me some notes y'all! Slots won't necessarily be first-come first-served, I usually work based on what interests me and I have every right to deny a commission at any stage. Mostly I'm happy to negotiate if there are disagreements, though.

Booped My Snoot
Posted 8 years agoGot in a lil car accident today
I was going through a roundabout (aka a traffic circle) and a lil old lady drove in front of me
Scratched some paint and I lost a headlight
Nobody was injured but she was nervous and really apologetic about it
We only collided at like 7km/h so it was like my car giving hers a lil boop~
"Hello I am car and this is my snoot"
Gonna get a new headlight tomorrow
So, yeah... first car accident and it wasn't even my fault and everyone is ok
Not bad c:

Anybody from New Zealand?
Posted 9 years agoThere's about a 99% chance I'll be there for about a week starting a week from now! Wondering if there's any NZ furs out there who might like to meet up! And maybe play Pokemon GO so we can nerd together
Not sure where in NZ I'll be going yet though; the number of responses I get here might influence where I go, haha.

Ever think about leaving?
Posted 9 years agoWhat would life be like if you didn't spend so much time drawing/looking at furry art?
Going outside, being around people
NOT sitting on your ass in front of a screen for hours and hours and hours with nothing better to do?
How does it work? Do people stay embedded in the furry community until they die? Do they casually drift off as their lives get busier? Or do they just up and leave all of a sudden?
Hmm

Most Stressful Day of My Life
Posted 9 years agoAnd it SOMEHOW had a happy ending (probably)
I'll make this extremely short and simple.
Things have been kinda going up and down for me over the last couple years. A lot of down, really. And I've kinda barely managed to cling to the life I have and avoid having my entire future being destroyed.
My mood has been up and down even more than that, though; I haven't let a lot of people know about it.. not anyone, really. I've offered little hints here and there, but I never felt comfortable talking about it, and still don't.
But basically, another opportunity presented itself for my life to either be greatly improved and offer me a wonderful chance, or to be ruined completely and fuck me over wayyyy more than should happen to any single person who's done anything less than some terrible crime against humanity.
And... it was looking like things were going well for a while, and yesterday it got to the point where I had to really start worrying that it might not go so well... and today things got even worse. A lot worse; I'd basically completely given up, everything seemed to have come up to this one moment where I was literally one tiny little step from getting what I wanted, or having all that good turned against me to make the bad end even worse.
It came down to time. And in a process that's been lasting over a few months (this particular part of it, anyway) I had to sort out the final details within the last 14 minutes before it all came officially crashing down on me.
I thought it was all hopeless, but I got just one last phone call with barely enough time to spare and I was able to get everything done with less than a minute left.
That's not an exaggeration.
Literally less than a minute between getting what I wanted/needed, or losing thousands and thousands of dollars and wasting the last 3+ years of my life and everything I and my family and a good few other people have been working for and quite possibly ruining any chance of being with my family here in Australia again.
So
It's not nearly enough to say that I was stressed to the point that I thought my heart was going to just give up.
And it's not nearly enough to say that I felt so relieved when that near-miracle happened and I just BARELY managed to do what I needed to in time.
I can't tell you guys how important this was or how I've been feeling. I can't say if everything is going to go well from this point. But I can tell you that my life took an extremely positive turn today, when I felt the most defeated and beaten down and used up for no reason, like everything had piled up specifically to come to the worst possible outcome that it could've been... and it didn't.
By some miracle, it didn't.
Don't give up, guys.
If things are looking bad, don't give up until it's over, even if there are only seconds on the clock, don't you dare give up.
You never know... it might just be enough.

Art and School
Posted 9 years agoSo
I'm almost enrolled in college now uwu
Almost
Is gonna be real good times! o: Seriously looking forward to actually getting a formal education in IT since my high school didn't teach us shit, and this way I'll be getting a full-on certification, HELL YEAH!
I-if I pass, of course...
Between full-time school and part time work, I'll be kinda busy, haha. BUT. I will still draw; in fact I might actually want to draw even more since I'll have less time to myself- when I'm alone and bored, the ideas don't usually show up as well as when I'm keeping my mind busy.
I dunno
Weird and annoying
So yes! I'll try to keep posting and uhh... I know I really should post more than I do >w> Don't be mad plz, I try but I'm a lazy potato.
OKAY! We'll just see what happens I guess! Hold on to yer knickers and strap yourselves in, cuz... cuz it's gonna not really change much from your perspective at all, probably.

Should I post sketches?
Posted 10 years agoI know I've posted a few, but I haven't really liked uploading anything other than colored images because I feel like that's what people prefer to see, but.... honestly, I'm more of a sketch artist than anything and a LOT of artists (a lot of good artists) have galleries loaded with sketchwork...
I know I probably shouldn't even have to ask this, but what do you guys think?

Computer Thinnnngs
Posted 10 years agoWELP. IT HAPPENED.
My laptop is basically dead. It's been getting worse and worse since I got it, constantly needing services and repairs. I've only added a few things to it, and I've been able to take care of each of the problems myself, so it hasn't cost me a lot of money, but... well, it seems like it's falling apart and at this rate and considering its age, it'd be a waste of money to keep trying to save it.
SO!
Things were slow for a while, but I've switched back to my desktop that I was using for movies and music and I'm now going to be using it for art and... well, basically everything. It's not as quick as the laptop was (when it worked), but it'll help me get some stuff drawn at least.
So in short... I'm gonna try to get back into draws for you nerds when work isn't eating away my time. See ya soon~
