[IMPORTANT/HIATUS] ...
Posted 13 years agoIf you're reading this, it means you probably won't see me again for a while.
I'm typing this on an on-screen keyboard.
My mom...she grounded me again.
Again.
All because more than half of a bottle of blue cheese dressing was gone in under a week.
She doesn't believe me when I tell her that it wasn't me who used the majority of it up.
Then she goes on about why I don't have a job yet.
...you already know where this is going.
Until I find a job...my phone and computer is confiscated. Again.
Just to let you know, this is impossible to do because of school.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, please read the following:
"Ever since the summer, they've been trying to find innovative ways to separate me from my 'obsession' of electronics. So that I can get a job.
So that I can buy my own phone, and my own laptop (which I really hate compared to desktops, but...eh). It's pretty much just 2 + 2.
Just...just think about it for one second.
This is what my schedule is to be, if I was to get a job, working weekly.
6:30 - wake up.
7:30 - catch school bus.
8:25-3:15 - school.
3:30-5:30 - night school (due to catching up on credits so I can skip to being a senior next year)
6:00-8:00 - work (because I won't be making much if I just work an hour a day.
Should I even continue with this? By the time I get home, I'll be tuckered out, not having enough energy to do chores, let alone personal time.
And they expect me to be in bed by 10:00pm.
My mom's 'solution' to this problem? Work on weekends and half-days only.
.....what.
So you're telling me that someone's going to hire a 17-year old that can only work during the weekends and on half-days (every other Wednesday)?
Get real. I've explained this to many employers while trying to apply. They all turned me down.
Hell, half of them weren't even applying."
So there you have it.
Commissions, IA, plus a little side project that probably wasn't even going to take up most of my time...
And I get grounded.
Again.
*sigh.*
Well. Here's to another hiatus.

[TUMBLR] Ask a Panini!
Posted 13 years agoThat's right! Panini has her own "Ask Tumblr" now!
http://askapanini.tumblr.com/ask
This is where she'll be answering questions that's pretty much based upon the imagination/creativity of the questioner.
This doesn't mean ALL questions will be answered, though. As long as it's something that can actually be taken seriously (like a LEGIT question, not a conversation starter), that's fine.
But try and be unique, people! She doesn't like blandness. :<
Updates will be twice a week (Mondays and Fridays). Questions will be answered comic-style.
Yepyep.

Rageified
Posted 13 years agoWish I knew how to break art block more efficiently. The whole 'just draw' thing doesn't work well for me.
I was gonna work on IA #6 but I can't think of a really good pose. Since it's :urovore:'s I'm drawing, I want it to involve something emphasizing feet.
BUT BLAAH ART BLOCK
So I may just take the time to work on other stuff like updating my Tumblr since it's pretty much collected cobwebs at this point.
At least I'll still be doing something constructive instead of sitting on my ass playing Street Fighter all day. ;A;
Also, I haven't forgotten about you commissioners. I'm just trying to get over said art block, so I really do appreciate the patience.

Question.
Posted 13 years agoThis is a follow-up journal from teskine's about those who 'keep the rich richer and the poor poorer'. Which can be found here.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Am I the only one who doesn't get why most people decide it's okay to waste their entire paychecks on art solely for attention?
Some may claim they just do it for the sole gratification of having something to look at (pretty much), but 7/10 it's to become instantly popular.
I'm not going to be mentioning names, but there's this one person I talk to occasionally on the Skype machine who isn't a bad/selfish person at all (so they're probably gonna be a bad example, thus making my point null and void). Yet, they JUST got into the fandom late June/early July, and they're already breaking 20,000 views and 1,000 watchers. Only because they splurge on artists' work. And because their fursona is a female. Doing mostly promiscuous things.
"BUT MCI DON'T YOU KNOW THAT IT ISN'T ALL ABOUT THE POPULARITY THE VIEWS OR THE WATCHERS IT'S ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU ENJOY DOING HURR"
Yeah, f I was talking about wanting to be popular, I'm pretty sure this would've been a rant journal.
LOL but when did our opinions start to matter, right?
...anyways. Art whores. Most of them...their mentalities. It's sickening to me sometimes.
And this isn't me assuming that. It's been happening way before I even joined the fandom, and it's still happening now.
It would be better if most artists (upcoming/underground, not well-known) were able to receive at least some of the credit from the viewers themselves (because I know the commissioners/buyers make sure they are recognized for their effort in making said commissioner/buyer happy) instead of being blown out of the water by some popufur/art whore whose mentality is "Yay I'm insta-popular because I throw money at artists to have them draw porn!"
...
It's just.
Ugh.
Furries.
-MCI
P.S. I'm seriously not bitching about not being able to sell out or become 'the best' in others' opinions. I'm just giving my two cents. If you feel the need to bring up an irrelevant comment/topic, please keep it to yourself.

I've been waiting on this for years.

Go and see if you can nab a spot! It's a really cool concept AmaraLemur is trying out using MUGEN, which I'm a huge fan of since I play a lot of 2D fighters. :>

[IMPORTANT] Hurricane Sandy + Cell Phone #
Posted 13 years agoThings're getting a bit shaky here in DC, so in case things just happen to take a turn for the worst, I'll be having my cell phone on standby.
If you wanna stay in contact with me for the next couple of days, just note me, and I'll give you my cell phone number (if I know I can trust you).
I'll only be doing text, though. No calls (drains the battery too much).

[IMPORTANT UPDATE] Finally.
Posted 13 years agoThat's right.
No more binds.
I finally have my stuff back in possession. Now hopefully I don't fuck anything else up to screw myself 'til New Year's. TwT
Anywho!
I now have way more time to work on commissions, the IA, and other stuff! I have no excuse now, so it's time to get to work. :D

IA Not Being Cancelled + Weasyl Invites
Posted 13 years agoYeah, no.
I'm no quitter.
Even with all of this shit going on, I have stuff that is long overdue.
Commissions will be slowly worked on, but the IA needs to be picked back up. I'm way, way behind on it.
ALSO!
I got a few invites for Weasyl.
I'll be sending them out to who I feel as though needs/deserves them.
Not to be choosy or anything. But yeah.

[VENT] Those people...
Posted 13 years agoThe ones you thought were your closest friends...
The ones who said they would always be there...
The ones who called you awesome, a good person...
Hell, even the ones who say they love you...
Suddenly disappear. Sometimes physically, sometimes...well, emotionally.
They start to change. May or may not be intentional, but either way...
It hurts.
We all know it does.
...idk. Just sorta feel like venting right now.
I don't really have a person where I can just talk to them about 'anything'...you know?
And it's hard...because when it's time where I need that person the most...
No one's there.
It's just hard to bear with being on my own every time shit goes down.
And I'm not talking about relationships...I mean life in general.
In no way am I saying that I don't appreciate when people offer me their ears and shoulders to listen and lean on (respectively).
But, like...I need a close friend.
Everyone has that person they talk to the most...the one they know they're allowed to vent to and not get shit for it.
I'm just...I'm really scared.
I just want to hug something...or someone...
...
Fuck.
I'm sorry for all of this. I should really try and keep this professional.

[UNEXPECTED UPDATE] Some changes.
Posted 13 years agoSo I talked it over with my mom.
As long as housework is done daily, and things are how it should be every day...
I can have access to my computer as long as it involves schoolwork. After that's done, I have...maybe about 2-3 hours to do miscellaneous activities (like drawing and such).
SO DOES THIS MEAN COMMISSIONS ARE BACK OPEN?!!!?!111!1!??!!1!one
...unfortunately, no.
And honestly, with how this is all panning out, I don't think I'll be starting another Iron Artist either. I mean, maybe if I can get things back on point with my new computer schedule. But as for now, only personal work will be worked on daily. I already had a commission canceled, which I still feel pretty ashamed and unprofessional for, but at least the commissioner understood my troubles. And I appreciate that.
So for those who are still waiting on their commissions to be completed...please understand, I'm doing everything in my power to get myself back on point.
Thank you.

[IMPORTANT/RANT/UPDATE] Probably won't see me for a while.
Posted 13 years agoA long while.
This morning at 6:45am, I woke up to iron a shirt for school today because we got to dress down. It's Spirit Week due to Homecoming being this Friday.
So as I'm putting the ironing board back, my mom's boyfriend bursts out of my mom's bedroom, assuming that I'm eavesdropping on their conversation.
He barely believed me when I told him I was just ironing.
Then he asks why I didn't take care of all this last night so I wouldn't have to worry about doing it in the morning. How is it my fault that I didn't know what I was going to wear for Twin Day today (which, by the way, I don't have a twin because I don't have any friends at school lol)?
So yeah. I was on the brink of getting grounded. Permanently.
Meaning I was never going to get my stuff back. Ever.
...
But instead, he said that I could go in my room and 'think' about what I've done, while he 'thinks' about what he's going to do with my stuff.
20 minutes passed.
During those 20 minutes, my mom was complaining to him how she was calling me 3-4 times last night just to make sure if I was okay, since there was a robbery of some sort on the second floor (we live in an apartment). She called me inconsiderate, and selfish for not answering her calls.
...yet she was the one who told me I could have my phone on vibrate because she knows that I wouldn't want everyone in the complex to know that I'm getting a text/call. No one wants to hear the Super Mario Bros. theme every 2-3 hours.
And I was in the bathroom, so I didn't know she was calling until I got back.
Either way, when he came back, this is what he told me.
"That phone, is to be on the kitchen counter when you get home.
That computer, unless it is for schoolwork only, is NOT to be on.
If I find out you're doing ANYTHING else, we're going to have a problem."
Although things were looking bleak, he started asking me what I did yesterday when I came home. I did ALL of my chores, including sweeping, mopping, and a shower (I seriously don't know why they see taking a shower as a chore).
The ONLY thing that fucked it all up, was when I told him that I couldn't wash my clothes because there was stuff already in the washing machine, wet.
I may as well just tell him the truth before he looks over at the pile of clothes in the corner, and finds a reason to yell at me again, right?
So he asks me.
"...so why didn't you press dry?"
I don't like messing with others' clothes, since I didn't know who they belonged to.
...he called me selfish for not pressing dry so that the clothes could already be dry and I didn't have time to waste.
And honestly, after he said that, I didn't really feel as though there was a reason to care.
Shit like this always happens, whether something good, or fairly tolerable, happens.
>finishes all possible chores
>gets to draw a pre-Halloween pic involving Panini and chival
>next day, grounded
They don't understand that they're cutting off 2 of my most important sources of communication, which affects my social health, and my life in general.
And I know why they're doing this.
Ever since the summer, they've been trying to find innovative ways to separate me from my "obsession" of electronics. So that I can get a job.
So that I can buy my own phone, and my own laptop (which I really hate compared to desktops, but...eh). It's pretty much just 2 + 2.
Just...just think about it for one second.

6:00-8:00 - work (because I won't be making much if I just work an hour a day.
Should I even continue with this? By the time I get home, I'll be tuckered out, not having enough energy to do chores, let alone personal time.
And they expect me to be in bed by 10:00pm.
My mom's 'solution' to this problem? Work on weekends and half-days only.

Get real. I've explained this to many employers while trying to apply. They all turned me down.
Hell, half of them weren't even applying.
...
I seriously don't know what to do anymore. As far as commissions are concerned, there's nothing I can do. I have no access to my PayPal, or my computer unless it's "schoolwork". So I can't refund.
And the Iron Artist will also be canceled since it'll probably never be finished.
*sigh.*
I sincerely apologize for all of this confusion. My life is just taking a turn for the worst.
I just want to live with my grandparents again...back when life was tolerable. Before everything just turned to shit.
Well...guess I'll see you guys...whenever I can.
I'll try and tough it out. But I can't guarantee anything.

TMI Tuesday, I guess.
Posted 13 years agoGo ahead, ask this guy anything.
I'll answer them all once I'm home and I get all housework done.

[IMPORTANT] To all IM users.
Posted 13 years agoI'm pretty much going to be cleaning out my contacts, removing people who I don't feel as though supports me in any beneficial way.
It's nothing personal, but a lot of things are gonna be changing in my life soon, and I can't continue to start wasting my time and energy on people who probably won't have any significant purpose towards the issues that will soon be occuring.
So with that, if you are removed, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

[RANT] Giving credit where credit is due.
Posted 13 years agoI felt like addressing this topic for a while now. Sorry if I sound a bit...edgy by the time this journal is over. But it's pushed me to that point.
First off, let me say that for the record, I am in no way trying to attack anyone personally, or make my opinion seem like it's the only true answer to the problem. If you feel the need to cause drama, just don't do it here. Seriously.
Now then.
While I've been rummaging throughout the usual mainstream anthro art here on FA, I've been noticing a severe repetition of the same original characters being drawn. Usually, something as common as this wouldn't really upscale my level of irritation that high.
It's too bad, however, that I'm starting to see more and more of them.
Every.
Fucking.
Day.
Like I said, I'm not one to judge about how well certain people may know the owner of said OC.
Maybe they have strong connections with a lot of people. And there's nothing wrong with that.
But to literally see them day...after day...after day? It gets pretty fucking excessive.
And I can understand if it's just their way of thanking artists for adding so much to the fandom since it's ever been implemented for its exceedingly tremendous gift of expressing one's imagination and fantasies.
But...if you're actually making it KNOWN that you're only in it for the attention and popularity, then...what point do you have even wasting your time and money?
It's pretty sad that the people who DO have this sort of mentality, always seem to get away with it.
Why? Two words.
Tits and dicks.
Most often used at the same time.
Again, IT'S TOTALLY FINE if that certain someone has actually devoted themselves to support the fandom positively. Having a keen personality, decent occupation, and striving will to just enjoy life without the need of sentimental value to keep them going is someone who actually deserves the respect they may or may not wish for.
On the other hand, just throwing out money to random artists, having them draw porn/kinky scenarios blatantly for others to either fap at, or have them worship you as some item will definitely have you put on my shitlist.
I'm sorry, but...GOD has this pushed me over the edge. I was even going to be mostly subtle about this topic until it just happened to me not even 20 minutes ago.
Hopefully I don't sound like too much of an ass by bringing this up. I've never really looked into it to realize if it was a touchy subject or not. If so, I apologize. But I had to express my opinion one way or another.

[IMPORTANT] New projects/art ideas.
Posted 13 years agoHey guys. MCI here.
So pretty much I've been here trying to get these commissions completed...when I've been thinking to myself.
Didn't I come here for something?
I totally forgot about the fact that I had my own personal projects I had in mind. Things including my own webcomic, the Iron Artist I set up a few months ago, and things like that.
Even still, I understand that commissions are a huge priority, and I'd hate to just pass them off as a low importance.
But...my inspiration is beginning to dwindle.
I'm gonna need to find some way that I can manage my time between personal projects, and commissions. Because only having the weekend to work on my own stuff probably won't be enough time. I'll become uninspired duje to stress of owed work, and I'm pretty tired of experiencing that.
So as of now, my normal commissions will unfortunately have to be closed until further notice.
...HOWEVER
This actually gives me a great opportunity to try out a new form of commissions that's been going pretty mainstream.
Pay What You Want.
I've been seeing a lot of artists do this lately, and I'm only half-interested.
Would it make sense to try this out? I'm pretty uneducated when it comes to organizing these types of things.
Half of me wants to try this for the day because I sorta need to warm up with inspiration. Again, that's sort of the reason why I haven't been working on current stuff. I just need to branch off for a while.
So! I wanna know what you guys think.
Webcomic?
PWYW streams?
Continuance of Iron Artist?

lol, that was fast.

Fursona Issues.
Posted 13 years agoSo basically I've come down to the line where I'm becoming attached to both of my fursonas, Panini and Ours. I had a feeling that this would happen sooner or later, since I felt as if having a female sona could allow me to be more associative with my feminine side, and be a lot more open.
Which worked.
But at the same time, I don't want to just abandon the big ol' cobrear. He's been around ever since I've been active within the fandom. And it'd hurt to toss him away like that.
What do you guys think? Should I try and keep both, or just stick with one and say goodbye to the other?

[IMPORTANT] PLZ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FOLLOW ME ON IB/TWITTER
Posted 13 years agoThis is probably not surprising to you all here, for obvious reasons.
I just feel as if spamming you all with the same submission will get tiresome, not to mention the fact that most of my 'accepted' art won't be allowed here.
This is not me being skeptical about what gets how many views, or why certain people may watch me. What it DOES relate to, however (but not limited to), is the amount of nsfw commissions that I have to complete, and I usually feel more comfortable if the commissioner is watching me draw up their work.
Of course, this doesn't have significance towards EVERYONE, but I felt as if I should at least get the word out to all of my loyal watchers here on FurAffinity.
SO WITH THAT SAID, DERP
PLEASE. FOLLOW. ME. ON. INKBUNNY.

Now this does not mean that I'll be more active on IB, and less active here.
I'll just have to learn the site a bit more. Y'know. Maybe toy around with it for a while.
Only reason I left dA was because of bullshit drama that should not and will not be mentioned here.
BUT anyways. :D
Sometime during the weekend, I will also be switching my TOS/Queue over to something more organized like Livejournal. Or Tumblr.
Depending on how I feel about that unstable P.O.S. wannabe blog site.

Thank you.

STILL DOING EMERGENCY BADGE COMMISSIONS!
Posted 13 years agoIf you don't know what I'm referring to, click here! http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3919326/
It's unlimited slots, so go and nab one if you can!

...just kill me now.
Posted 13 years agoWtf, man.
Why is it that whenever something decent--if not barely awesome--happens, it always has to be blown out of the water by something completely and instantly stressful/depressing?
Yay, happy birthday.
*next day*
Oh look, we have to move out. By tomorrow.
And my mom literally just had me accept it just because I'm 17 now.
She doesn't really care about the thoughts or opinions of her own son relating to things like this.
Yes I understand rent is about $1200 per month. Yes I understand that utilities have been tripled due to third-party bills being stacked on us from the previous residents.
But seriously? RIGHT after my fucking birthday?
Shit like this has always happened to me, like...ALWAYS revolving around my birthday.
This means that I'll probably have to undergo ANOTHER hiatus just until we can get all of our stuff moved outto our new place.
If we have a new place.
This...this makes me feel like shit.
And I'm usually not the one to bitch and moan about life on a regular basis, mainly because I KNOW that there are millions of other people out there with even worse problems.
It's just...I feel like I'm fucking with everyone's money. I can't find not one day to just sit down and work on my commissions.
My mom is still pressing me out to get a job, yet she doesn't see the value in this, more than likely because I haven't gotten my debit card in the mail yet.
.....
Maybe everyone was right.
Maybe I do have bad luck 24/7, and my birthday is the only day I can dwell in some form of sanity.
Guess it sucks being born on Friday the 13th.

It's 1:40am here and I'm nearly braindead.
WTFISHOULDBEASLEEPRIGHTNOW
lol well, anywho, I just wanted to make this journal to once again commemorate all of my watchers who decided to cope with my recent confession. It actually makes me glad to realize that not all that I come into contact with are always finding themselves judging others just because of their age.
It's such a great feeling to know that I can actually trust you all, watchers, acquaintances, friends...
I couldn't have gotten this far without you guys' love and support. Every day I log in and see that there are so many who take the time to even glance at my content, it's just an amazing feeling.
Of course you all know that I would never be doing this for the intention of becoming well-known. I mean, really...what's the joy in that? It's a temporary, short-lived feeling. Bittersweet, nonetheless.
This is a passion for me. And it just warms my heart how I can bond and relate to so many of you awesome people.
Because let's face it. You're awesome.
All of you.
