beautiful film. Still leaves me in tears at the ending. It really is an amazing film. For a COMEDY of all things. A comedy western I recommend to everyone.

The Moral of the Story?

Sometimes people throwin' dirt on you are trying to help you. And those pulling you up aren't always the good guys

In other words, when yer up to yer neck in shit, keep your big mouth shut. >.>

Watch the movie. You'll understand.

I was working on a gift picture for Jim. One of his character, Penance, in demon form. Since Mia was a demon n' all. Now, I am thinking...finish it in all it's glory. But what to do with it? The idea I had...was auction it off somehow. And either donate all proceeds to Jim's family, or to a charity of their choice? I was thinking of offering prints of it as well, for a cost to be determined, all proceeds as well going to family or charity? Whatcha all think? I had put it aside to work on commissions and catch up...Now I feel a little bad. But I cherished him as an artist and someone I really enjoyed talking to,both online and the one time I met him. So. What do you all think of the idea?

Gonna miss you terribly. One of the few I ever met n' talked to, back when I could. Nothing but fond memories. You fought hard. Rest now, and roam wherever you will. As I type this through my tears, nothing but fond memories of all those wonderful stories you told through your art, and those wonderful pranks you managed to pull off, leave me with nothing but smiles. I am gonna lift a glass of Carolans to your life, and wish you well wherever you find yourself now. All Gods Bless and Keep You.

Nynaeve finished fixing up that Land Raider Prometheus...and other then some VERY minor flaws...it looks gorgeous!

List of what was wrong:
-left side hull unit completely askew. Tracks weren't straight or centered.
-left rear door broken off, glued half-assed back together, half open.
-top hatches missing. gaps in top plate from attempted repair.
- BOTH sponsons broken.
- Both front doors cracked apart after being glued shut.
-entire model didn't have ANY of the flash removed from plastic parts.
- Resin parts for the Prometheus also had all the flash on them.

So after a complete tear down that I did as gently as possible, we needed the outer sides of the track units, the tracks themselves, the front hull, the upper pplate, and new sponsons. We got 'em. Nynaeve then went to work, cleaning the flash off, re-assembling the sponsons, fixing the hull...he did BRILLIANTLY. Greenstuff on all the cannons...ugh. It was a chore and a half. I WILL post pics of it. This new beauty is gonna be my centerpiece. >.>!

Mind, this is in additionto yes, getting caught up with artstuffs. This weekend I should be able to post a bunch of sketches to show progress. >.>

Anyone know where I can find him? Nynaeve has arts that needs to get ChaiFox Approval. Anyone at all? Please let me know ASAP? >.>

Update: I am are idiot. Found the messages in the private message section with the addresses I needed. Now to get it all sorted. UGH. >.> Headache time.

Well Nynaeve and I are back to artworking. Older stuff in need of finishing, then some newer commissions. About damn time. Still stressed and blah, and it's hotter n' heck but art is art! Must be done and done well! Feeling a lot better/happier now. Guess I needed to get over that depression.

Which...is still hanging around. We couldn't salvage the Land Raider Prometheus' hull. Even after a MONTH soaking in Simple Green to make the super glue more brittle...nothing snapped off without breaking. The entire hull and sponsons are so much garbage. Nynaeve was brilliant however, and managed to save the resin pieces of the Prometheus. And we have 90% of the entire thing already...except the damned sponsons. Damn near $40 to replace! Half the frickin' cost, for less then 5% of the mass. UGH. But we will succeed. Cause Nynaeve is REALLY REALLY stubborn on this.

And that's about all that's new right now. >.>! I promise, new stuff scanned in soon. Just gotta FINISH the damned things. Heheheh....

We need a new computer system. Imac unfortunately, has to come first before PC. And for that, we need a good $2,250 or so. We have, thanks to Nynaeve's hard budgeting, a total of $320. Was considering a Patreon, but here's the flaw in the reasoning...to get the rewards for a patreon campaign going, we kinda need the computer. To get the computer, we need the patreon. And this is in addition to the commissions we are struggling with right now. Gotta ink and color a good number, but the pencils are done at least. >.>! We have the programs. We have the subjects and plots. We have all the ideas. What we DON'T have...is a current 2012 or later Imac to CREATE with. So...Help? Ideas? Donations? Hugs and kisses? Several reward ideas I was considering below...

$1 up to $5 a month = A heartfelt email of thanks and access to previews of the webcomic / Basically, early access to content?

$6 up to $10 a month = Customized picture of any of the characters thank you. In any way you can imagine.

$11 to $20 a month = 1 Full Color commission of up to three characters, once every six months

More than that = I haven't a clue yet.

UPDATE: So, anyone watching and silent have any ideas? I need a lot more of 'em. Can't do it ourselves over here. We're too new to this kind of thing.

Nynaeve's mom renegged on helping him with a new system. I can't afford a new system. Meaning, for the near future, all plans for webcomics? all plans for digital commissions? Pretty much all plans in generalm are completely on hold. Ever since FC, things are just turning to SHIT. I'm unhappy. He's unhappy. We're all just plain fucking miserable. Yay.

Made me smile as I listened in.

Please be careful? Hurricane Arthur is just marching up the coast. Be careful and safe, everyone. Good luck and see you on the flip side. Hope the clean up isn't too bad.

A friend of mine had this link up. I clicked. And it was just so awesome.

I have the container. I have the Land Raider, with resin parts from Forge World. I have Simple Green. What I need to know, is do I dilute it? How long till the Super glue de-bonds? Will it be okay, soaking for a week or so? Heeeelp! I don't want to blow $80. >.<! Already lost a turret to the post office, and a door to crappy assembly from the original owner.

Damn Nynaeve for getting this game. It's addictive and very stress relieving. I am feeling much better, thanks to you all. >.> You make me smile and feel happier, every one of you. Even the silent ones. ANYHOW, I have back issues, a spider bite on my shine, and food poisoning to deal with. NO ONE ruins my cooking and gets away with it! >:( Anyhow, gonna post a few pics Nynaeve's been working on, and yes, including at LEAST three commission pics. We're having some issues with missing information though. Concerning that one badge, and other then that, everything else is good. Mailing Ekko's badge, BTW. Again. For the third time. >.<! I am almost at wit's end here. The USPS is seriously torquing me off...anyhow. No more rambling thoughts. I'm off to go draw more furry, and relax after a relatively okay day. :) And again, thank you all. >.> Really means a lot.

UPDATE! Nynaeve is working on Zero. He likes the tall gawky assassin. With the following.

Any Stalker Mod worth it's Salt.
Sheriff's Badge.
Any mod enhancing pistol damage.

The sheer fire rate on an Infinity Pistol? Makes it fast enough that all the shots are only in the center of the reticule. It's THAT fast. Even at level 36 with a level 9 infinity, he's chewing through things like a minigun. It's amazing. O_O!

Update the 2nd: Okay. Stalker Class Mod. Roughrider Shield to keep shields at 0 but get a damage resistance and enhanced health, Sheriff's Badge Relic. Unkempt Harold.

What it ends up meaning? I killed the Warrior within 30 seconds. Three bursts from the gun. I fired so fast my head spinned. It was beautiful. *tear of joy!*

In pain, cons weren't successful, home life stinks, and life in general is not much fun right now. <:P Somedays I just need to gripe and kvetch. Or better yet, draw some raunchy furry porn. >.> Off to the drawing board I go...pain and all.

Lousy sales. Great convention. More debt to pay off. No addition to computer fund.
Nyn's comatose right now. Still recovering from exhaustion. Myself? Upset over the lack of sales. Le Sigh. Nothing to be done. BTW, ain't Caloran's Irish Creme the bomb? Holy CRAP. *grin!*

Anyhow, due to a booboo involving throbbing baselines and bouncing markers, several commissions need some TLC before they get posted. Seriously need to get back to digital colors. SOOO much easier to fix.

Anyhow again, ta for now and more updating later in the week.

Enjoyable, but we didn't sell as much as we should have. Sales were lackluster all around the flea market, so things are incredibly tight. But at least we have enough money to cover some food, and a tiny bit of the room cost. Gonna be working hard the next three days to get a few more pics worked on. We got most of the badges owed inked and colored, and currently coloring three backed up commissions and working on four more. Bah, A bit depressed. We never seem to catch a break, do we? <:P

ChaiFox, Xuncu and Furlow's commissions are bein' finished.

StrRedWolf's and Griffinwolf's are next. '

Others as well are in queue. GAH. So much to do, and so little time. 5am Monday here. Time to sleep till 5pm. >.<!

We got TONS of books for sale, from Battletech, to WoD, to L5R, to a couple D&D modules, and Creature Collections One and Two from Sword and Sorcery Studios back when 3.5 was awesome! They range from $5 to $10. Shipping is extra.

OH! Tons of older GURPS stuff as well, including a Basic set. But that is priced a bit higher, due to excellent condition and extreme rarity. Gotta get them priced exactly. So if you are curious as to what I have, keep a close eye on this journal and I'll update with prices! :D

Well, I had a huge cry during the series finale of Warehouse 13. It was exceedingly well done, and I was a bawling mess by the end of the episode. The epilogue was interesting, but I can't says much cause, you know, spoilers. >.> But suffice it to say, it was GOOD! A nice surprise there.

Now all they gotta do is make it an RPG game. OMG that would be so amazing, wouldn't it? :)

Thanks to some good friends of Nynaeve, we will, at least, be selling at FC.
But that still leaves us a little disappointed. 16 years of having a table at FC. Of having certain staff help us out when issues arose. And now, it's a click of the button and a choice by the powers that be. *shakes her head* We have been and will continue to be loyal supporters, but you could say that our strong feelings over the convention has been absolutely shaken to the core. If anyone wants any further info, I'll be under my rock, feeling seriously depressed. Contact me via email if you would like further info or just to talk.

WARNING! RANTING AND UPSET-NESS INCOMING! WARNING!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to say, that Nynaeve and I as of 1:16am Monday, will not be selling artwork at FC 2015 due to the fact that there was a typo in the email on the application and as a result, their notification of our acceptance bounced, and we ended up losing out on the table space.

We have been selling artwork at FC for 16 years now, using the same email address for all those years. Makes me feel like absolute garbage, that a simple typo that could have been fixed in less then 30 seconds, is now costing Nynaeve and I a good chunk of income, a chance to get out advertising concerning our projects, and in general, what has been for the last 16 years a wonderful experience? Thank you all very much.

I am feeling so upset right now. So g*d damned ANGRY and PISSED OFF. All commissions are currently on hold while we deal with this. Sorry, but this much emotion is not conducive to a good artistic atmosphere. Mind you, I haven't even told Nynaeve yet. That's gonna be fun.

UPDATE: We got into contact with someone in the Dealer's Den. Apparently, the problem with getting a table, is NOT that we were accepted and then due to the glitch, had that opportunity taken when the contact failed, but that we were NOT accepted. And the email issue simply PREVENTED us from being notified. Which leads to the following...What is the POINT then, of having a limited timeframe to accept applications? You end up with a bunch of people all panicking and rushing to get their applications turned in, thinking that first-come will be first seated. That apparently isn't the case.

A nice Furry/MLP fan from Huntington Beach commissioned Nynaeve at FC for a badge of his OC pony, Softwind. Well, all we can remember, is the dark jade hair with the black streak in mane and tail, and lighter jade main body coloring...Courtesy of a jackass nephew and the need for stupid video game information, he wrote all over the commission info, and erased most of the coloring guide. Eyes, and confirmation of the body color are needed! So if you are out there...Or if you know this person, please please PLEASE have them contact us either here, or at the email addys below.

Fillenevixen[at]gmail.com

Also, has anyone who applied for a dealer's table at FC received word back yet? Nynaeve applied at 12:01pm on the day it opened and hasn't gotten word back yet...and we're both getting a touch worried.

And finally...We're still looking for roommates for Califur coming up real soon! Baring a last minute change of plans, Nynaeve's gonna be alone it looks like, and soaking one heck of a nasty bill.

Nynaeve was thinking we should take some Pre-Orders for Califur to help cover costs. Each slot in Badges and Drawings would be finished AT CON, with Payment whenever the commissioner gets into the Dealer's Den. Or if you want, we can accept Paypal payments for the commissions as well. Details discussed afterwards.

We're thinking of opening 6 slots for Badges, both Pony and Furry. and 6 slots for Commissions. Costs determined during negotiations.

So you think it's a good idea? Any takers?

Okie doke. Gettin' back to bein' somewhat healthy over here. ;) Working on stuff owed, and gearing up for Califur! :D Yay! Unfortunately, Nynaeve's roommate plans for califur haven't panned out yet. One person can't make it and another is unsure. So....that leads to another hefty bill incoming unless we can arrange something. Ugh.

Nynaeve's got a pernicious sinus infection, courtesy of the cold I am suffering from and donated. On top of that, he was so out of it last night he parked his car on the street cleanin' side of things. Dinged for $73. Sometimes, life just kicks you in the balls, spits in your face and walks away laughing. We're both taking it easy for a few more days to get over this crap. But there are updates. And scans this week hopefully.

ChaiFox and Furlow commissions are inked. And in Furlow's case, slightly fixed in sizeyness.
Softwind and Thaler Badges Inked. All are ready to be colored.

StrRedWolf's foursome are being sketched.

Griffinwolf and a couple others are posed out and ready to go.

Sooo much to do. So little time. And enough yuck in my system to choke a sewer. >.<!

It started at exactly 12:00pm. Nynaeve was done by 12:05. It went incredibly smoothly. Haven't paid up yet, so we don't know yet if we have an official table or not. But I gotta say...well done.
If this works out, it'll be the best FC registration we've been involved with ever. Thank you all so much. :) And if you haven't registered yet, DO IT NOW.
