Depression
Posted 12 years ago
Becoming chronically depressed again, I suppose there is no reason for me to go to the hospital for my issue
since it's pretty much cleared up. So I'm going back on the pills again, they help me function unfortunately.
I can't do anything but sketch so I can't work on anything serious. So things will be slow till my new tablet gets here.
I have been depressed rather bad as of late. I have alot going through my mind, so I'm going to stay quiet for
a while.
ATTENTION COMMISSIONERS! Tablet Issues!
Posted 12 years ago
I dunno how but my tablet has two small but DEEP scratches in it. It's making it really hard to do anything but sketch atm.
Luckily this issue will be resolved soon thanks to 
who has a tablet he is not using, and is willing to give it to me =)
It is a slightly different version but pretty much identical as far as specs go. So until it gets here I
likely will not be working on commissions.
It took me almost 2 hours JUST to flat color 2 characters *that aren't even full sized* on a multiple character drawing.
I have to keep moving the characters around to avoid the scratches. Also my photoshop -SHOULD- be ready today
hopefully, so I'll be practicing on that. So I will be running stream commissions still but the coloring will be minimal since
its a pain to color =/
Doing What NO Artist Should EVER Have to do.
Posted 12 years ago
Well my art doesn't seem worth the price to anyone. The only people I get commissioned by are my close friends. I'm starting to feel as if it's only because I'm being felt sorry for.
I got behind on my bills last month due to many different factors. My dad needing help, cut hours, un expected costs. So I have been trying EVERYTHING to gain more commissioners.
Well, I'm left with no choice. I have advertised over and over and over again. Friends have made posts advertising for me. Nothing is working! I can't get ANYONE to follow me anywhere else except FurAffinity.
I can't get anyone to even take the slightest interest in myself as a person let alone an artist. I'm at a complete loss, am I really that bad? I also don't want to hear about the economy is bad either. I have seen numerous potential customers inquire about a pic from me then turn around and pay x2 or even x3 MORE than what I charge for the SAME PIC they were asking me about.
Now I try my hardest NOT to complain, but I like to think I am worth the prices I have come up with. However, I am now seeing that it must be me that is the problem.
I have about $1,500 total due in bills this month. I haven't paid 1 off so far. So I guess I'll have to give up my computer and have my internet shut off. I don't see how we are going to be able to pay everything.
So what I have decided to do is to com back here to FurAffinity since NO ONE pays attention to me anywhere else. ALSO I'm going to heavily undersell myself. I have no choice, I use commission money to supplement what I don't make at my job. SO this means I'm going to be working my ass off for little to no pay.
That is ok though since I'm use to working my ass off for nothing. Been doing it for 6 years at my job. 6 Years and I get $7.90 an hour and 20 hours if I'm lucky.
I'll be making NEW commission info yet again.

Raising Money to Help Pay Bills *CHEAP STREAM RATES*
Posted 12 years ago
For the next two weeks I'm going to be doing commission streams, I need to raise extra funds since I am behind on bills.
Since I can't walk very well and I'm in a lot of pain I may as well sit on my ass all day and be productive.
David and I got OUR paypal working now so I will no longer be sharing one with Ash.
This means it'll be much easier for us to transfer our money to our account with the wait time cut in half.
So I'll be running Commission streams and here is what I'll be charging.
Sketch: $5
Colored Sketch: $15
Full Color *Includes line art and full shading*: $25
The adult fee of $10 is going to be included since these are meant to be quicker but accurate.
Also the 3+ character fee, so keep that in mind.
These are my base prices and those 2 fee's are the only ones that will be included. I'll be working on normal
commissions and when someone gets a stream commission I'll do it then go back to the normal ones.
So i just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
Crying in Pain..... *TMI WARNING*
Posted 12 years agoFor those that remember my DUB issue a few years ago, well it's back. This means my body is bleeding out a second time so I'm done for.
I'll likely be completely sterile this time, since it has been going on for about 3 weeks now. Tonight it started with the giant clots again. I cannot
go to the hospital because my dad has been giving me Percocet aka Oxycodone for pain since I have been in excruciating pain these last few weeks.
If that shows up in my blood tests they can legally call the cops on me for having it. YES! THEY CAN DO NOT ARGUE IT WE HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN!
It's part of a new law that is trying to track down dealers, pill mills, and people under the influence. The only thing I can do is
eat lots of heavy Iron foods and take Iron pills to replace the blood I lose so I don't become anemic.
Last time this happened I had no idea and I was borderline needing a blood transfusion. I won't let that happen this time,
and do not worry
if I feel it's getting to bad I'll go to the hospital and take a chance. For now though I am an emotional wreck and I can't think.
I'm in alot of pain but now I can't take any more pain meds.
**Also just to clarify I do not take them to get high on purpose! I have been in ALOT of pain between the DUB and my feet.
I have growths in my feet which is genetic and they FUCKING HURT even if they are cut out they can grow back like a cyst.**
So now I have no way to control the pain, I CANNOT take blood thinners so that rules out like 90% of the meds I could
take to ease the pain. A blood thinner is an anti inflammatory like ibuprofen and aspirin. So now I have to go to work like this,
which really fucking sucks since I don't get many bathroom breaks let alone long ones. So I don't know what to do....
I'll keep you all updated as something arises but for now just know that I'll still try to work on commissions in a timely
manner, however some days I may just lie in bed. So that is it, I hope this isn't the end for me and my reproductive
parts but if so then so be it I guess. Wouldn't surprise me if this makes me 100% sterile anyway, since I am not aloud to be truly happy....
Sorry guys... Q&A has been moved. *PLEASE READ*
Posted 12 years ago
Just got bad news, and by bad I mean REAL bad. It's got me feeling down and worried, so I am instead going to just chill today.
What is the bad news? I'm up for termination on my electric soon and our phones are also due today and we have to have them one because
we are emergency contacts for so many people. The electric company lied to me and now if I can't pay at least $150 by next week it'll be cut off.
This also means I may be losing my internet because well... how the fuck am I going to pay that too?
We are behind on alot of bills but the electric company fucking us is something I didn't see coming then again it doesn't surprise me.
I'll keep you all updated when I can.

ASK ME STUFF! Live Q&A!
Posted 12 years ago
I'm going to be doing a live Q&A Friday! So Tonight till Friday you may ask me tons of stuff for me to answer live.
You can ask as many as you want! Even if you as a bunch and think of more later you can just make another comment with more
questions! I ave just a few rules though.
1. NO PERSONAL QUESTIONS!
2. BE RESPECTFUL!
3. NOTHING ABOUT MY LOVE LIFE
You can ask about anything from art, video games, or just general stuff. ANYTHING!
**ALSO PLEASE READ THIS!**
I will not be drawing tomorrow, I haven't been feeling to good due to female issues.
As some may know I have a condition and it's been causing excruciating pain and discomfort.
So I am taking tomorrow off.
SO ASK AWAY FOR THE QUESTIONS ON FRIDAY!
About My Little Pony Art and the Fandom in General
Posted 12 years agoI want to make this VERY clear!
1. YES I still loathe MLP
2. NO I will not be drawing it UNLESS IT'S PAID FOR
3. I have not taken a sudden liking to it.
4. I'm only allowing it for commissions now to expand to customers in whom I have been ignoring.
5. In no way will I ever change my mind about MLP
6. I WILL NOT become that artist where they will draw NOTHING BUT MLP instead of their own stuff and away from their norm.
7. I am an artist and right now money is extremely tight so that is my reason for allowing MLP art for commissions.
Please DO NOT confuse the sudden uploading of MLP art wit me taking a sudden liking to the show and fandom.
Money is bad right now and I am in SEVERE danger of getting my power shut off and possibly not making my house payment.
Art is the only way of making extra money so I am drawing these little fuckers to help make ends meet.
JUST BECAUSE I hate MLP DOES NOT mean I'll do a half ass job on your pic. So enough with the assumptions!
This is one of the main reasons I hate this fan base because of the feedback I have been getting about drawing ponies. Trust me my pen is not drawing SHIT unless it's been paid for! Unfortunately it is the -in- thing and professionally I have to accept this fact and cater to it.
Any questions?

Posted 12 years agoVideo of my Thoughts... UPLOADED
Posted 12 years ago
It is long but it needed to be....
http://www.livestream.com/mycrappyartz
Click on the video under the offline screen, its called my thoughts.
TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND ACTIVE WATCHERS! *PLEASE READ!!!*
Posted 12 years ago
Once I feel it is safe, I'll be making a video... It is a personal video that I will have on my livestream and while I am talking you will see visuals rather its me doodling or playing a game. I feel that you guys need to hear about my current situation and you need to get a better picture about my life and why I have been in some rotten moods or haven't been working on art as much. A lot needs to be said and I feel that journals are just words...
Perhaps you need to HEAR it from my mouth and so you can get a better look into my day to day life. WARNING! I may get emotional during the video I'll try not to but just be warned it might happen. I just want all of you to know who I am outside this computer and I want all of you to hear it from my mouth. A lot of people make journals about how much their life sucks and sometimes they aren't for real.... Well I am, and I'm telling you now that I cannot take much more of this.
So this will be an emotional roller coaster so I hope you all can watch it. Thank you for your time in advance, should you choose not to watch it I completely understand and quite frankly don't blame you. I will inform you all once the video is made.
Shit just hit the fan with my dad.....
Posted 12 years agoHe jus tried to sell our broken down Sunfire to a junk man under our nose. He came to our house and said that he stopped by to buy it for scrap and offered $350. David and I KNEW we should go down there and we did and sure enough that fucker was there. He said my dad was going to give him a title, and we told him HELL NO we are the owners and this car is NOT for sale. The guy kept trying to get it from us and we told him no NUMEROUS times and then we ran him away.
My dad started yelling at us saying he felt betrayed that we didn't trust him and David got into it with him. AS SOON as possible we are towing the car down to our house. If ANYONE tries to take it from me then they have a fight on their hands. My dad almost sold our car under our nose.....
I'm about to have a panic attack I can feel it.... Not to mention all the other shit I heard my dad did last night.... He pulled a knife on his neighbor and the cops were called. Our landlord told us about it, the fuck is wrong with him. I'm terrified but FL law we can't do anything unless he hurts someone or himself. I fucking hate it here. I just want to end it all....
