Still kind of ded
Posted 3 years agoSorry for the super long hiatus!
I swear I am alive! Lol.
Art still might be a bit hit and miss, but I'm going to try my best to post more. We're coming up on the end of another crappy year, and there's things I haven't even posted from last year...
I'm. really sorry guys, I have no real explanation other than just working too damn much. My job takes a lot out of me, mentally and physically. I try to art at the hotels, but one I lay down it's over. xD
I haven't really done any commissions what so ever. A few adopts here and there, but when I did draw, it was for me or the hubby.
If I haven't. said anything before, I work for a inventory company that travels 100% of the time. So I'm away from home Monday - Thursday, sometimes till Saturday. I am also I driver, so on top of working long ass stores I have to buss part of my crew around Cali. (sometimes up to 8 hour drives.) I love my job, but it takes a toll on me.
Luckily I have off for a few weeks for what we call blackout, meaning no inventories to do, so Vaca! Also means no paycheck, so I might start doing some small commissions soon. *shrug* I am going to get unemployment, but dunno how much, and if it'll be enough.
Anyway, other than work killing me, we be good! Has new truck! Well, new to us. Ummm, we have a second kitty now... that's about it.. Nothing really has changed.. xD
Anyway, thanks everyone for sticking around! If I go silent again, just know I will always be back, just probably working like a dog. :P 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

I am alive!
Posted 5 years agoYou heard that right! I am alive! Lol.
Really sorry for being gone forever. X3 Been going through a lot in the real world. But I'm sure everyone is right now during this pandemic. @_@
It's been a few months, but me and the hubby moved into a different place! It's still a bit stressful, but we're making it work. :3
I've also been working still since this whole Covid thing started. I had to take some time off for my teeth though, since my wisdom teeth were infected and NOTHING was helping the pain. I was pretty much trying not to die for two months. Lol. Finally got them out though!
But yeah, work has been keeping me from upload things. But, I'm going to try and get on top of that now! So keep an eye out for arts!

Commissions are open!!
Posted 6 years agoI'm taking commissions again for the moment! :3 I'm currently in between jobs, and waiting for my future boss to freaking call me back. But for now, art things! Let me know if you want one! :3

Clothes - $3 - $15 Depending on amount and complexity.
Extras - $2-$20 each depending on what it is. Chains, collars, whips, butt plugs, dildos goggles etc. If I find that it's an extra, it gets a price.
Keep in mind that if you're not great with cash, and want something, we can always work something out. I do payment plans, and if I find a commission won't be to hard, I can lower the price if you're strapped for cash. I will not work with the price if it's already pretty cheap. Please ask if you have any questions! :3
I will also not be taking highly detailed/complicated commissions anymore. I have no time for them, and they take to long. Two character MAX.
Do's and Don'ts:
As a general rule of thumb, I'll accept most anything. However, it is in your best interest to ask first. There are some things we certainly won't accept, and will deny any commission requests found to be asking for any of the following: scat, watersports, diapers, gore, anorexia, extreme fat, extreme muscle, under-aged, non-consensual, inflation, sex with plushies. (more may be added as needed)

Update! 2019
Posted 6 years agoWelp, it's been.. about 2 years now since I last posted a journal.. XD Whoops. Lol. I don't have many excuses for most of that first year, since I believe I did at least post art. But as for the past 6ish months, I've been working another job. It's been full time and then some. For a while there I was working almost 11 hours a day Mon-Fri. It's finally starting to die down a bit, since the season is slowing down.
Oh right, I'm a walnut inspector by the way. XD I take samples, find defects, color, and such. If to much defects, the pallet gets tossed.. It's a relatively simple job once you get the paperwork and motions down. But that's where I've been! Working my ass off! Lol. I got this job originally so we could get a different car, since our PT Cruiser was on its last legs, and wouldn't even get me to work.
I will admit, I love my job and the people I work with, but it can get taxing. I know it doesn't sound like a whole lot to inspect walnuts every day, but it can get mentally draining. Most of the warehouses I get sent to, you have to walk a good 5-10 minutes to get to your line to grab a sample. One other warehouse, I made the mistake of helping the warehouse girls out with the line. Fixing boxes, running to stop something because it's fucking everything up, to dumping product because it is all not weighing right and the machine is shooting them off the line like rapid fire. Though, that one place is actually my favorite. I absolutely love working there, even if it is exhausting. It's where I started my job off at, and was there for a good 3ish months before my boss started moving me around. The girls and guys all love me there. They're pretty much my work family. X3 I was offered a job there, since I wasn't sure how long my actual job would last, since it's technically seasonal. The warehouse itself runs year around though.
As awesome as that would be, I don't know if I can keep doing 10-11 hour days, maybe even 12 if they teach me the forklift. It's really starting to wear me down. Hell, didn't even know it, I guess I had been living with a UTI since I started work... :| SO I've had it for 6 months.. why? Because my boss either refuses me a day off when I'm awfully sick and need to go see a doctor, or scheduling my day off for that appointment on the wrong day. Which then I have to reschedule the appointment. -.- Pissed her off pretty good the other day since I took it off so I could go to a walk in dr office. She pretty much put me down about it, and guilt tripped me! No one to cover my shift, someone else is out on medical leave, someone is on vacation, and another's mom died. I feel for them, but I need to see a damn doctor! I had to go to the damn er after work a week before this just because I was afraid to call my own boss to let me out of work. That's when I found out I had a UTI. i had to forcefully take a day off to go in again because my antibiotics weren't working, and I was getting worse very fast. Soooo, she can suck this big dragon dick! XD
All in all, I'm feeling better now. But, the whole point of this random rant (sorry, this wasn't suppose to be a rant, lol), is that I'm looking for a new job. As much as I want to work for my favorite warehouse, I don't want to put that burden on them, and the hours.. uuugh. Lol. Some killer money, but I'd like to see my husband and kitty more than 3 hours a day. >. < Plus, I miss my art! I miss drawing for you guys!
I have a few job interviews coming up. I think if they don't work out, then I'm just going to go back to my warehouse. Even if the hours are long, at least I won't be dealing with my current boss. Plus, the warehouse offers medical, dental, and 401k. My job doesn't offer any of that, and I'd be working the same hours! T_T
So, aside from that, I am also limiting my commissions greatly, if not all together. I'll take one on occasion, but nothing difficult. Since I will have to work on them on my weekends around my work schedule. I'm also upping the prices. Why? Because I'm doing my second job (art) on my days off. I preferably like to just draw for myself and relax, not work on something for someone else. Unless you're a good friend of course, I might let that slide. XD You don't like it? Then share my art everywhere and make me known so I can go back to art full time. I'd really like to do that, but I also don't want to be living in the gutter again because I would get one one commission a month. :/ *Shrug* It is what it is.
If you've read this far, thank you! Sorry it's a bit long, but a lot has been going on. I've got a few art pieces in the works that will eventually be done and ready to post, so stay tuned!! Thanks for being loyal followers! <3 <3 <3

2017 updates!!
Posted 8 years agoHappy New Year, peoples!
Few things that I need to lay out there as we settle into 2017; mostly just updating, announcements, and generally bringing y'all up to speed.
First and foremost, I want to let you all know that I plan on raising my commission prices. With another year down and that much more experience under my belt, I feel it is about time that I make some pricing adjustments to the overall price of commissions. Here's a little peek at what I've got right now...
Lineart:
Bust - $5
Full Body - $10
Additional characters adds $5 each
w/ complex background adds $10
NSFW adds $5
Flat color:
Bust - $10
Full Body - $15
w/ complex background adds $20
Additional characters adds $10 each
NSFW adds $5
Color+Shading:
Bust - $20
Full Body - $30
w/ complex background adds $50
Additional characters adds $15 each
NSFW adds $10
As time goes on, I am certain to make further adjustments to either allow or take from certain aspects of my usual workflow. Until that happens, however, this is what I plan to use. By and large, most of the adjustments or small increments of what they were last year. However, you may note a pretty sizable change in a couple of the departments, largely including shading and backgrounds.
Please be aware that "complex backgrounds" is a rather loose term for me. Compelxity of backgrounds vary from instance to instance, so they are deffinitely up for interpretation and adjustment on a case-by-case basis. However, I should explain my reasing for this larger price hikes.
Over the last year, I've noticed that pieces including shading and complex backgrounds, both together and individually, would often dramatically increase the amount of time required to finish an art piece as opposed to, say a full body flat color, which could take me on average 1-2 hours. I've had pieces of artwork that including both shading and backgrounds take me anywhere between 28-42 working hours to complete, sometimes even more. I can sometimes be a stickler for details, and while I'm trying to learn not to be, I need the costs to be a little bit more in balance with the effort given for said aspects of my art.
Do I like those prices on my list? Not really. Blackwell kind of twisted my arm on that on. But, at the same time, he's not wrong; $10 for 4+ days of work is absolute slave labor. In time, maybe over the course of this year, I do hope to become more proficient with churning out good detail backgrounds and shading. However, for the sake of being about to do more art without mentally exhausting myself on each individual piece, I'm afraid I have to hike those prices to kind of both discourage requests for so much of it as well as make the next few instances of those options a little more worth while. Sorry, but... not sorry. ^^;
In other news, I do have some plans I hope to set in motion soon to help bring down the cost of commission as well. I've always felt that art should be affordable for everybody, but there's also the issue of keeping the roof over my head and food in my belleh. For that, I want to try and use Pateon to both reduce the overall prices of my commissions by a significant factor, AND keep my greedy dragon belly happy! ^3^
I intend to release a Patreon soon which will have low-cost tiers for my everyday hard-working supporters who want to enjoy the simpler things in life without having to eat their wallet everytime they do so. Tiers will range from $1 to $10 and will include rewards like free sketches and colors, as well as a nice little coupon to get a discounted commission for the highest tier subscriber. Don't worry! I have no intentions of pay-walling anyone! I might be an ass, but I'm not 100% a dick. Everything I do for Patreon will become public! It's just going to be a vehicle by which I can start managing my time and efforts. Not to mention the biggest reward of them all - the monthly goal! As I get more subscribers and get closer to meeting that 30 day mile stone regularly, I will be offering drastically reduced prices over all commission options! For everyone!
Alright alright, calm your tits! In other news, I'll be spending a bit of time over the next few days getting all the sites I frequent up to date. As I stand right now, I have this FA which I upload almost everything to, a e621 which gets slightly less, a Deviantart I haven't touched in likely a year now, and a Tumblr that's lacking more and more of my attention by the week. Not to mention my Picarto which I haven't even tried to customize yet. I want to bring them back out of the bottom of my toy bin and get them dusted off for showcasing again.
Another thing I really need to do is start branching out. Didn't think I'd say this so soon, but I need more than rainbow farts and candy-coated pony butts in my life. I need to get back in touch with my furry and dragon side, both of which I've hardly ever done since getting this awsome little Cintiq for going digital and saving money on expensive shipping. That's without mentioning the multitude of original furry characters I've never touched since that faited pony-filled day sometime after season 3 of MLP finished out. Hell, maybe I'll even see what other fandoms I might be interested in. I know I like pokemon! ^3^
Anyway, I think that's it for now. I need to get back to doing what I'm doing. Again, happy New Year, everybody! <3
