I'ma gonna be 21 years old. X3

I figured I'd mention it in case anyone wants to tell me happeh birfday. <3

And happy birthday to ! Her birthday is Wednesday, August 8th! :D

Right, so I finally finished all requests that were on the list on my profile, and now I have one more to do that I received the other day. :3 Before I can begin, however, I'm working on a plushie! Yay! I'm so excited to find out how it turns out in the end. :D And if I can, I'll continue to make plushies, because it's so much fun to do, I've learned.

If you have any questions about requests or my current projects, please refer to my profile. :D :D

Is it a good idea to draw random users from your Watch list, or is that creepy? XD Just randomly wondered that earlier in case I get bored one night. <3

Why am I so addicted to My Little Pony??? >.< I hardly even watch the show, and I have 15 blind-bag pony figures, a Fluttershy from McDonald's, and two MLP activity books that came with posters and stickers. XD I guess one reason is because their design is so simple and yet so adorable... And I love the songs in the show. :3

Anyway, I invented Candy Spice a while ago, but I want to make another pony character. I've already partially come up with her design, but it needs a total overhaul because I chose the colors from PonyMaker on Facebook. XD I don't want to make one to represent "me", because I'm boring.
That's the whole reason why I have to come up with stuff for poor ol' Lyvain to do in her pictures. XD

Anyway, yeah. Ponies.

Does everyone have a pony-sona now?

:D :D

Sorry your requests haven't been going out too quickly. D: I've been all over the place lately, but I plan to sit and draw tonight, so that Tsubaki and Nova request list should be completed.

In the meantime, anyone got more requests for me? :3

I didn't win that, but I went out and bought a blind-bag pony to make myself feel better. It was another Rarity, so I'm gonna give her to a friend of mine whose favorite pony is Rarity. XD

Anyway, I was thinking of opening up requests again. :o I'm not going to do commissions until I can get back into the swing of drawing varied creatures/settings. Soooo... anyone up for a request? o.o

I hope I win. c:

A fellow member of FurAffinity passed away recently, named . Please pray for her. I did art work for this person, and reading that she had passed really tore at my heart strings. So please, again, pray for her, and consider those whom you love.

I bought a new pair of headphones, a new mp3 player, and a copy of "Silent Hill 2" for PlayStation 2 today WITH MY OWN MONEY. It feels good to have a paycheck. =w=

A little after the start of June, I'll look into getting internet at my house again. :D Which benefits you because that means MO FREE ART.

If I start taking plushie and keychain commissions, would they sell? I'll do a couple soon so I can have some examples of my work. :P But I was wondering if there's much of a market for those things, since a lot of people make and sell them already. Thoughts? :o

Oh, also, I might do art commissions on top of my requests. :3

But requests are still closed right now, sorry. Dx

I appreciate those of you who requested art from me, and I really really want to continue taking requests, but my job is really nomming up my spare time. @.@

Right now, I want to do an art trade with my bestie, , because I miss her. T.T But I can't decide what to draw for her. XD Was debating between sonas and ponies... or maybe both. :O

Keiko's journal entry!

Keiko's Etsy!

:D I wants tail.

Sorry to Gabriel Blake because it's taking me so darn long to do his art!! >.<

In other news, I'm enjoying my job so far. :D Already got one shift of overtime a couple days ago, and I'm gonna have more overtime Monday!! XD;; They're gonna keep me busy...

I will no longer be taking requests, because I have a job now!! :D First one evar.

Well, decided not to do the chibi requests. No one asked me for one. XD But requests are still up!

Would you like some chibi art of your sona? :3 I feel like handing some out at the moment, so feel free to inquire!!

Please do not send me a reference with mature content. Thanks!

Still taking requests. I'm going to start work on the one I have on my list tomorrow, when I have access to my art materials.

Funny thing is, I've been on DeviantArt longer than I have been on here, and I've been getting a lot more feedback on this site than I have on dA for a while. O.o I mean, I still have more comments and stuff in general because I have a lot more art on DeviantArt than on here, but FurAffinity users seem more open-minded about the art on here than users of DeviantArt.

I guess it's because on this site, we all have very similar interests. XD

But anyway, requests are open~

I got my first on-site request! Thanks, this really makes me feel good about my art again!! :D

If anyone would like a request, let me know. :3

I haven't drawn too much since I lost internet. Feel like throwing me some furry-related drawing ideas? Heck, anyone want a request?

Mind you, if I do a request, it might take a while, between getting references, drawing it out, coloring, scanning, putting on flash drive, moving to laptop, going to mate's house, and uploading, BUT, I will do some requests. :3

[EDIT] I wanted to edit this because I'm out of my mind with lethargy.
MATERIALS I USUALLY USE WHEN DRAWING SH*T:
TRADITIONAL: pencil, inking pen, sharpies, BIC permanent markers, Crayola markers, colored pencils of various origin
DIGITAL: GIMP :B

I'm probably gonna feel bad for putting in curse words tomorrow and delete them. Until then, I'll continue to do this for sh*ts and giggles.

I'm kind of over the whole thing with people hatin' on me for being a furry. It really helped when I went to visit  floxxy_lady, my buddy in the whole fandom (and in general). I feel like we don't get to hang out enough because I'm not allowed to go out and do furry stuff. Dx

I worked on a paw-glove when I was over there, and it kind of melted my doubt away. I'm a free-spirited furry again. :3 Plus, I got to walk around with Glo and talk to people who enjoy the mascot costumes.

So thank you, . <3



In other news, I was told we're going to look into getting internet soon, so I'll see what happens. :x So far, I've had no luck, but you never know.

I've been getting a lot of static lately for being a furry, and it's causing some stress I don't want to deal with in my life at the moment. I'm working very hard to become who I want to be, and the insults aren't encouraging at all. So aside from ignoring those who ridicule me over being a furry, I may not worry about updating my art sites for a while...

Just until I get things where I want them. :C

...options concerning your submissions.

I've looked through several artist galleries today and noticed something. The artists who sell their art often use templates to draw from (IE badges, reference sheets, adoptables, etc.), and it gets tiring to the point that you no longer enjoy looking at that particular template done up in so many fashions. It becomes obvious (and rightly so) that the only person meant to enjoy that piece of art is the person the art was bought by.

So here's what I think would be nice: an option to create separate folders which contain certain forms of art (badges, adoptables, hand-crafted pieces, fur suits, etc.). Imagine a world in which we no longer have to create whole separate accounts for different art aspects. XD

Take your score and multiply it by 2
Put your title as "I'm _% Furry"

Well, it just goes to show that you don't have to act a certain way to be furry. :3 I encourage others to do this meme, too!

I heard from a reliable source that I could be getting internet at my house again soon. :D So happy~

I still need to get my computer fixed, but I'm doing that this evening, so it's pretty much taken care of. X3 Yay! I'll update again when I get my internet up and going.
