So lately my SAI keeps crashing, every time I draw. today it crashed twice, the second time, despite the fact I'd saved the commission when it was very close to being finished, it removed all all but a little of the progress i'd made in shading the pic.

I'm honestly going to cry if this keeps up. how the fuck am i mean't to finish a commission if it doesn't save right?

I'm so angry and upset and completely demotivated. I've had to re-do this certain commission at least THREE TIMES at various stages because of this. and it's made me hate the working on this one picture.

so tired of this shit.

it only started happening when i began drawing on 4000 x 4000 px canvasses but i need to work this big for print purposes. i just can't fuckin win.

It's really annoying when my body can't keep up with me when I'm actually being productive.

I got three pics done today and I really wanna draw more but alas my hand aches and i get a sharp pain go up my arm when i bend my ring finger on that side. oops.

But I still want to draw more gawd this is saddening. lol.

Ugh I just had to spend £42 on buying a new battery for my laptop cause mine croaked and now I can't unplug my laptop if it's on. OTL Why do things go wrong and require money when I need to save!?

Anyway, copy paste info below from my last journal too. Still taking commissions to save money for university. I really need it if I'm going to be able to continue my education. This money is money I have to live off while studying, including for rent which I need to pay before I move in anywhere.

So. I have to find £3000 from somewhere because university has said that because I'm re-taking the 2nd year of my course (due to severe mental health problems last year), they have to say I didn't attend for most of last year. Which means student finance are saying that because I apparently didn't go to university for most of last year, they've overpaid my grant by £3000. And as such they're taking that off what they're paying me this year. Both sides are saying there's nothing they can do. So much for the uni financial advisor saying it wouldn't affect how much money I receive from student finance for this year. Giant fucking lie.

So I have to find £1000 every 3 months or I wont be able to live in London or go to uni.

Aaaand now I'm extremely stressed and angry and my dad is saying I should live in halls again because it's cheaper but if I live in halls again I'm 99% sure my mental health will suffer negatively like it did last year. I really want to finish my education and it's already been disrupted enough by my shitty mental health.

Looks like I'll be doing nothing but commissions every day for the next month to raise that first £1000.

If anyone is willing to help me out by donating or buying art from me, I'd be eternally grateful! I'll be opening up double the commission slots this time around to help with that.

I'll also do sketch pages for £50 each (that'll be a 4000 x 4000 pixel pic with 10 sketches of your character both SFW and NSFW. I'll add this as an option on my commission form.

If you'd like to donate please note me to talk about it/get my paypal address.
Also any help you can give me by helping more people know about my commissions and what I need money for would be super helpful, be it journals or tweets or whatever.

So I know I said I wouldn't do any more free art, but I decided that doing one or two free sketches at the end of a stream just to wind down after working on something more complicated might not be a bad idea.

So for my current stream, I'm going to do one or two sketches.
If you're interested please leave a comment here with a link to your character ref and I'll pick one or two to draw.

These sketches will be sent to you after the stream via a link in a note and you'll be free to post them (with credit to me of course) but I wont be posting them in my main gallery. i might post them in my scraps if i like them enough.

You must come to the stream if I pick your character.

Stream is here: https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....ceVitterEffect

(just realised I didn't have a place for this information alone so doing it now)

If my commissions are closed, but you would like to be informed when they open, please note me asking to be added to the update list.

Once you are on the update list you will be sent a note every time I open commissions.

To stop receiving notifications of this, please note me asking to be taken off the list.

Those on the update list will be have first pick of a commission slot. They will be informed a full 24 hours before the general public get a chance for a slot.

If slots fill up from the update list only, then the public will have to wait until the next time I open slots.

If slots regularly fill up before the public get a chance at them, then I may add more slots but if you really want a commission I suggest joining the update list.

Streaming as I work on personal stuff!
Come chat and hang out~

also if you haven't yet, it'd be super helpful to me if you filled out this little questionnaire on what you wanna see from me in future!

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b2.....xtm5Q/viewform

Hey followers, it's be really REALLY helpful to me if you could go fill our this quick questionnaire for me:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b2.....xtm5Q/viewform

This will help me see what kinds of things you'd like to see from me in future and how you see me as an artist and what I need to improve.

It's 100% anonymous so please don't abuse that.

if you have any extra comments, feel free to comment here or note me, that is if you don't mind me knowing who you are~

Literally just arrived home after travelling for around 20 hours total from the hotel in Japan to here. only slept a little on the flight, but I'm not as tired as I could be. More excited to be back and to be able to work again!

Also I'll be making a little questionnaire tonight to try and find out what you guys, my watchers, want to see from me more! so, I'll post that link a little later <3

I'm bored so I'd like to invite my lovely watchers to ask me anything and everything! from personal questions to art questions to questions for certain characters, to advice, anything you want and I'll answer 100% honestly. no topic is off limits excluding info about my address and stuff like that. ask away!

logging on from my phone to say I've got four days left in tokyo! it's been a blasty blast so far, and I'm having so much fun, but at the same time i can't wait to get back and draw again. i mean i can draw in my sketch book but i miss my tablet.

so far ive been to some gigs, a matsuri on a beach wearing a yukata, and spent so much money on clothes. i have an idea for some yukata ychs for when i get back so look forwards to that, and the heat here is making me wanna draw loads of beach pics lol. so look for those too.

i hope all my lovely friends and watchers are doing ok and i look forward to being back and interacting again! a little lonely and furless out here lol.

see ya later everyone!

Well, in a couple of hours I leave for the airport, and then I'll be off to Japan!

I'll probably not be able to get on here for the two weeks I'm out there, so I'll see you after!

When I get back I'll open commissions and put up some YCH auctions~

remember if you wanna be informed of commissions opening and get first shot at getting a slot, note me and I'll put you on my update list~

So, decided to write a list of artists I wanna get art from, at some point.

(or you know, I'd accept them as payment for commissions from me up to the prince of what they cost you)

Miri
Metz
Pharos
milkcrown
BooPeep
tatsumichi
PoofyLion
Peritian
deerpuke
ali
grau

So I'll be doing a give away when I reach 2000 watches! (and when I get back from Japan). That's around 200 watches away.

The pic will be a nice pic of the winner's character having a little fun with Masahiko! (pose will be decided later)

Any help reaching 2000 watchers would be greatly appreciated.

I'll give more details once that magic number is reached~

And thanks to everyone who watches me so far, how about a little more interaction from you guys? I love to chat with people, ok?
(just don't creep on me or try to RP with me or get overly sexual with me when we first talk cause that puts me off lol.)

So I'll be in Tokyo from July 15th to August 1st and wont be around on FA at that point.

As soon as I get back I plan to open commissions so if you want to get a commission from me at that point, send me a note as soon as you can, telling me you want to be on my update list and I'll note you when they open~

Commissions will first open to those on my update list, then after 24 hours, if there are slots left, I'll open then up to general public.

From now on, anyone on my update list will STAY on the update list unless they ask for their name to be removed. In the past I've removed peoples names from the list after I open commissions each time but I wont do that any longer.

Also when I get back I'll be re-writing my list of what I wont do in a commission (mainly for character refs) and general info.

I'll also be doing a bunch of Incubun adopts~ so look forwards to that!

Information in this post is subject to change without warning.

AS AN INCUBUN OWNER, YOU MAY;

-re-sell your Incubun for it's original price. Extra value may only be added for extra artwork drawn or purchased of that character.
-trade your Incubun for another adopt or artwork.
-make minor edits to Incubun design. Please read extended editing rules below for details.
-repost your Incubun to your gallery as long as watermark is kept on the image and credit of the species design and a link to my profile is in the description.

YOU MAY NOT;

-re-sell or trade Incubun for more than original price claiming 'sentimental value' or other reason if no extra artwork is added to it.
-edit the Incubun design in any major way. If you don't like the design that much, don't buy it.
-create a twin, sibling, children of the Incubun.
-buy multiple Incubun from me for the sole purpose of trading them for rarer or more expensive adopts.

OTHER RULES;

-you do not have to credit me for the design on any extra art of the Incubun you buy, only on the original Incubun image from me, and/or character ref sheet (if you get one done). Although I appreciate it if you do credit me.
-it is appreciated, but not required, if you mention that the Incubun is a closed species.
-Incubun species are only open for self-creation by paying a £5 fee for the use of the species design (more details in CUSTOM INCUBUNS)
-gifts are gifts and may not leave your hands unless I have given explicit permission beforehand. Please contact me before selling/trading/or giving away. Please do not take advantage of my generosity.

EXTENDED EDITING RULES;

-as mentioned you are allowed to edit your Incubun design! Physical aspects such as piercings, scars, other damage, missing limbs/parts of horns. anything you could do to a real human body. Anything outside of that may not be changed.
-editing hairstyle to whatever you want is fine.
-editing colors is fine so long as they're not too drastic.
-edited markings are fine so long as they're not too drastic.
-you may change horn length and shape.
-you may add, increase, or remove fluffliness. But only in places where fluff is show on long furred Incubun.
-likewise you may change colors (color sliding is fine), but do not drastically alter a palette.
-I REQUIRE ALL EDITS TO BE SHOWN TO ME!!!! I want to know what to expect if i see the adopt floating around, to make sure that it was an edit made by a purchaser, and not a counterfeit adopt. please respect this request.

CUSTOM INCUBUNS;

-As mentioned you may pay a one time £5 fee (subject to change without notice) for usage of the species design.
-Once paid I will send you a template for the Incubun (of your fur length choice).
-You may erase parts of the line art only if they are covered by clothes or hair.
-You may erase and re-draw the horns if you wish to change the shape/length of them.
-You may add a penis to your Incubun. I only have SFW templates at the moment as I wish more people to be able to see them when I post them.
-Once you have designed your Icubun you MUST show me your design so I can approve it. This is to make sure the design follows the species rules. If it doesn't I will tell you what needs to be changed. If your design is declined more than 5 times you will no longer be allowed to design and Incubun. (if you haven't got the species rules fixed by that time then what are you even doing?)
-I will NOT give refunds of the species usage fee if your design is declined 5 times.

-You may also commission me to design an Incubun for you. Please fill out this 'CHARACTER DESIGN' form and under species write INCUBUN.
-These commissions cost the same as regular character design commissions from me.
-Usage of custom incubuns follows ALL the same rules as above.

REPEAT RULE BREAKERS WILL BE BANNED FROM PURCHASE AND BLOCKED! this depends heavily on severity, but still stands.
this is the only measure i will take against you, all i am asking for is respect for my rules. do not purchase from me if you cannot follow them.

GO HERE TO VIEW SPECIES SHEET: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/13776604/

RULES OF USE:

-You may ONLY create your own Incubun after you have ASKED ME, and paid a £5 fee for the usage of the species design.
-If you own an Incubun, you may only re-sell it after informing me. You may not sell it for more than you paid for it.
-I WILL take Incubun design commissions if you have a design you want me to create for you.
-I WILL offer adoptable auctions of Incubuns
-If you own an Incubun, you are free to commission anyone to draw your character.
General Info:
Incubuns can be heterosexual or homosexual (or any sexual you want). However none are asexual. They're sex demons, they enjoy sex. if they didn't they'd die.
Incubuns are ALWAYS MALE. They are a form of Incubus which is a male sex demon.
As Incubi, they get strength from sex, leeching life from whoever they sleep with. It won't generally kill someone though. At most after an encounter with and Incubun, they will feel very tired and content.
They're very good at giving massages, they have subtle magic that acts like a lust drug and relaxant to help encourage their partner to sleep with them.
Their saliva contains and aphrodisiac, as does their semen.
They don't need to eat actual food or drink water as they get all they need from sex. But they can eat and drink and enjoy flavoursome foods.
They're all mad for chocolate.
They often wear very revealing clothing, tight clothing, and/or see-through clothing.
They often wear metal or leather jewellery with precious stones attached.

It's been a while, but commissions are finally open again!

For regular commissions please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gX.....AnnWg/viewform

For character design commissions please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1_Y.....AZy7w/viewform

Please remember to read my ToS and General commission information before commissioning me! (links in journal footer)
If you have any questions shoot me a note!

Pricing sheets for both types of commission are also linked below in my footer~

My paypal has been fixed at last! (almost, within the next hour)

turns out the account had been closed due me opening the account before I was 18 (they only just caught up to it even though I'm 21 now, slow ass mofos)

but anyway all i have to do is make a new account (once they remove the email from my old account so i can use that) then i'll be able to take commissions again! So keep an eye out for those!

To those i still owe commissions to, I apologise for the delay, i've been trying to focus on getting my paypal fixed and I've been under a hell of a lot of stress lately with mental health problems, so i've been unable to get much work done but rest assured I AM working on them and will finish them before i take on any more commissions/ych's. they should be done within the next week or two.

thanks for your patience and understanding, and once again sorry for the delay / inconvenience.

So my paypal is STILL limited. Even though I sent the details they asked for almost a week ago. it's saying it's still limited and that "This limitation cannot be appealed against."

It also says I have the ability to withdraw money, but when I go to do so it just gives me an error page.

I can't ask for help/info on the paypal forum because it wont let me log into the forum until my paypal has been fixed.

i can't send paypal an email cause I no longer have access to the email i originally used to sign up for paypal.

all I can do is phone, which I can't do today because it's a bloody sunday.

and this all sucks because I have ver £60 sitting in my paypal that I can't use but I need to be able to buy fucking food.

I'm so pissed. =A=

go check out these people and their art!! They all do commissions at good prices, so if you have some spared $$$ throw it their way!
