★ Taking a Break + Where To Find Me ★
Posted 9 years agoHey guys,
I've decided to try to broaden my horizons elsewhere for now and try to build a following in places other than FA. I'm not leaving FA, by any means, but I want to try to reach a larger audience and become more known to the world at large. That being said, I'm going to try to update my Twitter and Instagram more frequently with my art starting this weekend.
You can follow me here:

Thanks a bunch for all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me that so many people like seeing my art and I feel like spreading my creative works to other places will also help me to communicate with my audience better, too.
As always, commissions are open on a regular basis so feel free to inquire at any of these places!

★ Officially Seeking PC Overwatch Players! ★
Posted 9 years agoHey guys! I received my copy of Overwatch today and I'm seeking people to buddy up with in-game! Comment or note me if you'd like to exchange friend list info so we can play together sometime. ^__^
★ Do Any of You Guys Play Overwatch? ★
Posted 9 years agoTopic!
I haven't played a Blizzard game in ages and OW really intrigues me! I'll be getting a PC copy soon and was wondering if anyone here will be playing and would like to group up. Let me know in the comments and discuss away! :')
Major Family Death; Taking a Hiatus
Posted 9 years agoI've mentioned in a previous journal entry that my ill great grandmother had been getting progressively worse. She'd been in hospice for less than a week, and I found out from my mother that she passed away late this evening, about an hour ago.
As a result, I'll be taking at least the rest of this week to cope with this loss before returning to work on commissions.
I wanted to take a few moments to get this out because I'm really not feeling well as it is already and I know I won't feel like bringing it up later on.
Once I'm well enough, I may make a longer journal that's more in depth about this situation. But for now, I will leave it vague.
I will still do my best to keep in touch with current commissioners, of course, but I do need some time to heal.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience.

★ Today I Turned 20 & Other Life Things ★
Posted 9 years ago Yup, April 24th is my birthday and I have officially exited all remnants of teenhood.. yay? :D I have to admit, though, I definitely don't feel any older! I still feel like a kid playing Nintendo games and I feel like I definitely don't have this life thing figured out at all. Maybe that's just how a lot of young people feel? It's kinda scary, but I do feel wiser and that I've grown a lot in my youth.
My commissions have picked up pace significantly this past month and a half! FA advertising does work, for those of you who may be curious and discovered me from seeing my ad. I went from 130 watchers to nearly 500! You guys are wonderful and I appreciate all of your support. All of your comments, faves, and commissions help me out tremendously and I'm glad to be able to bring your visions to life! Being an artist is an amazing feeling, now more than ever, and I have met a lot of wonderful people through my exposure here.
Aside from art, my life has been.. hectic, to say the least. I try to be void of all negativity in the art world because I do not want to be seen as a troubled/struggling sort of person. I want to be a happy face and a positive influence to others, but things in my family back home in Florida aren't so great. My great grandmother, who raised me, has grown significantly more ill since I left home almost six months ago. She's currently in hospice and it's been taking a toll on me emotionally, but art definitely helps soothe the lousy ache in my heart that I will lose her soon. It's awful when you've had a constant presence in your life that means the world to you, as you do to them, and they one day just.. vanish. It's a horrible, sinking sort of feeling but I know that she's suffered a long time and we aren't meant to live forever. I have come to peace with it overall, but it's still a bitter taste in my mouth.
I'm going to seek out schooling for illustration at some point this year since I now live in an area where that is possible. Before, I lived in a place that was completely void of any prospects to advance in my art skills, but the Wausau area of Wisconsin is certainly different and I truly want art to become my main focus in life. I've beaten around the bush for so long in my life, wondering where I want to go and what I want to do. I've explored psychology, medicine, and other subjects that have interested me, but now more than ever, art is definitely what I want to pursue and the thing that feels right to me.
And.. that's really all for now! I don't lead a very interesting life outside of my artwork, but I say all of this because I want to be more than just an art salesperson and actually reveal the person behind the silly glitter Cheetah.
Again, thank you to all, new and old, who've supported me! I love being a part of FA.
★ Commissions Temporarily Closed; Computer Failure ★
Posted 9 years agoBasically, what it says on the tin.
I've been using my s/o's desktop computer because I'm able to draw with SAI on it and just tonight, it had a Windows operating system failure which will require us to repair it.. Which means that the entire computer will be wiped clean, including my artwork. Very unhappy about this and especially since art is my main source of income right now.
I'll be making another journal when my commissions are open again and will be back to posting art, but for right now, I won't be accepting comms and productivity will be slower. We expect to have it repaired this week, but I'm not 100% certain.
Going through a rough time right now with various things.. Thanks for hanging in there with me and for all the support I've gained recently. It means a lot to me, especially when times feel doubtful.
★ Not doing so well, folks ★
Posted 9 years agoHey guys
Just wanted to make a short journal about how I'm actually doing outside of FA. Truthfully, I'm not so well. I'm currently enduring a bout of depression right now about some affairs in my life concerning my biological family and my new life in WI. A lot of great things have been happening for me concerning my art and I do love living in WI with my s/o, but I also find myself missing my home back in FL. It was a chaotic mess of a place in terms of my relationship with my family, but it's still familiar. It's where I've been my entire life up until a few months ago and it just feels.. Odd.
I miss the good things, though; I miss my pets, the beach, all of the historic places in FL I loved visiting.. It's just familiar and it's gone for me, now.
But I digress. I hate being a downer in public and I don't like talking about my woes, but my art has been churned out a bit slower than usual recently because I just feel plain lousy and I'm hurting about a lot of different things that I don't want to talk about.
On a different note, my commissions ARE still open right now and I could use as many as possible. Every little bit helps and if anyone is interested in commissioning me, please feel free to note me!
Thank you to all who've taken the time to read this mess. I appreciate every bit of support I receive and all of the kind compliments you guys leave for me on my Userpage and/or artwork is very much appreciated! It truly means a lot to me.
★ Would anyone be interested in Copic Con badges? ★
Posted 9 years agoI would like to work with Copic art more and was wondering if any of you guys would be interested in commissioning a Copic con badge. I can apply the completed badge to a piece of scrapbook paper for a background and I could also have them laminated and mailed! If anyone would like to commission me for one, feel free to comment or note me and we can discuss the specifics of what you'd like.
Thanks a bunch!
★ Active Accounts: Twitter & Instagram ★
Posted 9 years agoHey guys!
I thought I'd let you folks know that you can follow me at these places if you'd like to communicate with me, have questions, etc.
https://mobile.twitter.com/lunecheetah
https://www.instagram.com/lunecheetah/
I don't use Twitter much, but I could start using it more as a way of communication. I really like Instagram's DM system and I feel that's a good place to ask me questions or talk rather than FA notes all the time, since having a cluttered inbox isn't so fun!
Just thought I'd leave these here if anyone's interested. :)
★ About Reference Commissions ★
Posted 9 years agoI've received a few questions about reference sheet commissions because I don't have set prices available on my commission price tab. This is because they're definitely a sort of case-by-case basis in which the price of the ref will vary and be determined by the complexity in which the commissioner requests. All of my references will be unique and drawn from scratch, rather than with the use of a base.
If you are interested in a reference sheet, feel free to note me and I'd be happy to address any questions. :)
★ To my watchers, both old and new ★
Posted 9 years agoHey everyone,
I wanted to make a journal to express my gratitude for all of the support I've gotten over the past week with the watches and comments I've received from all of you. And to those who've been supporting me since my return to FA a year ago, the same kind regards to you all as well.
It's difficult for me to articulate my feelings, which is why I'm so quiet about myself and don't respond to comments at times. I do want to let you all know that I read and appreciate every single compliment I receive, though, and your kind words continue to help motivate me to improve.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
★ Would any of you be interested in YCH's..? ★
Posted 9 years ago..And if so, what kind? I know they're very popular here, but I've never made one up to sell, myself. Do any of you care for them? Would you be interested in seeing any from me? Feel free to comment here with your thoughts and suggestions! I'm always seeking ways to broaden my horizons with my artwork.
Many thanks!
On the Topic of Success (and How it Applies to all of Us)
Posted 9 years agoSo last night I posted a long-winded message to a support group I'm a part of on FB, in which we can gather and talk about things that are bothering us and how we can help one another. I talked about success and how we measure it in ourselves; trying to encourage others to pursue what they love even if it isn't terribly lucrative or they haven't gotten noticed much for what they do. The feedback I got was positive, so I want to apply that message here as well and paraphrase it to better appeal to my audience here. These are just my personal thoughts and I realize they may not appeal to everyone, but...
I wanted to talk about a principle that's in everyone's lives whether it's consciously or subconsciously: success.
What is success and how do you measure your personal success? What do you stake your life's worth on, and how does that affect you every day you life?
For years, I've asked myself these questions and have come up with one thing that I just value in myself as a whole: my art. Literally every cell in my body has screamed this for almost ten years since I decided to pursue art as a profession. I make money with my art, though not nearly enough to sustain a life on my own (or with anyone else, really). Yet I hold on so tightly to these slivers of hope whenever I receive a commission, whenever someone tells me how much they like my art, whenever I tell someone else how prominent art is in my life.. It makes me feel alive just as much as the next breath I take.
There is nothing else in the world I want for myself more than to be an artist.
I get so much praise from friends and family, and the few close fans I have in the art community. This means a lot to me.. But there's still so much doubt. I always remember each day how little people actually know about me; how few followers I have and how few commissions I get compared to other artists. I try hard to not compare myself to others, but it's difficult not to. It can be really tough when you want something so much, just as much as others if not more so, and it constantly feels so far out of reach.
I remind myself though, that there is a silver lining: that I am better than who I was last year, last month, yesterday, and that I'm always visibly improving.
Sometimes success isn't measured by the potential that others see in you, but how much you actually appreciate in yourself. Instead of asking, "Do other people care?" Or, "Do other people see me?" You should ask, "Do I truly care about this? Do I feel in my heart that this is worth it?"
If you have the willpower and focus to work hard at something that you believe in, then it is worth it. No amount of praise will ever make your efforts worth it unless you believe that what you're doing is worth improving and exerting energy for. It's nice when people tell me that my art is good and that I should continue it, but unless I maintain the will to work for the results I wish to see, it'll never happen.
I have to keep telling myself that even if I go unnoticed for the better part of my life, my efforts at least matter to me and to the few who support me. Even if I don't make a lot of money from what I do, if I can afford to do it and it makes me happy, then I will continue.
Happiness can't be sought in the world through money and material objects. These things should only be by-products of the effort it takes you to acquire them. We live in a world where convenience is rapidly trumping effort. The easier things are for us to attain, the less satisfied we become with them. It's convenient to grab a fast food burger, but I think we can all agree that nothing surpasses the tastefulness of a home cooked meal that took time and effort to make. That's the difference. Long-term effort better equates to long-term satisfaction because we are aware that what we attain is an achievement.
This topic has dragged on forever and so much of what I've tried to get across has probably been lost in translation, but I hope this has helped someone who has been doubting themselves. And believe me.. If anyone doubts themselves, it's me. Even now as I type this, I do feel insecure about myself and I am human with flawed ideas and perceptions of my reality. I am a natural introvert, and as such, I spend the majority of my time in my own mind. It is a circus in here and although I sometimes wish it wasn't, I know that if my mind were not this chaotic mess of color, I wouldn't be myself.
So just keep doing what makes you all happy. We can't all be famous, rich, and powerful, but we are at least entitled to pursue the things that bring us personal fulfillment and make our souls sing. If you can't be rich externally, at least strive to be rich in spirit and joy for what you can achieve.
★ Which Pokemon would you like to see art of? ★
Posted 9 years agoHello everyone!
Kind of on a Pokemon kick lately and I'd like to draw some fan favorites of my audience's choosing! Feel free to comment on which kind of Pokemon you'd like to see art of; legendaries included! I really like drawing Pokemon and I see this as an opportunity to draw unusual creatures and spark some creativity in myself.
Thanks, guys!
New Account
Posted 10 years agoGreetings everyone! This is my new art account, moving on from
. My previous fursona no longer represents me like it used to, so I've moved on to a more neutral username using the name of my mascot/artistic entity so that it's more or less permanent.
I know I've been gone for a long time, but so much has changed in the better part of two years that I don't know where to begin. I've grown and changed a lot as a person for the better, so I can at least say that resolutely and with pride. I won't drag out the circumstances of why I left, but I did a lot of soul searching during my absence so the reprieve did me well.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
