I won't be doing them and taking all your moneys. Byebye






April Fools

Public holiday here and I have kinda overworked myself this month. Tomorrow Ill be back in action

Please. Don't send me money without me final quoting you.

Discussing the smaller details and additionals while you consider their value is not alright with me.

Please. In the future, if you want to commission me, let me quote you.

I got so many commissions in the last 24 hours now. I'm so happy I can afford this month. Anything further is for rent next month and towards the vacation for 2 weeks with my boyfriend next month too :)

All the commissions I have received so far will most definitely be completed before the 6th of April :) So I have a lot of work to do!

Thank you all again for your support, sharing my plight and getting more customers to come to me. :) I really appreciate it, including to those who supported me too!

THANK YOU ALL!

I'm closing the gap of commissions I have left soon, and obviously no one is commissioning me much anymore. But I'm still in need of $935USD by the end of this month.

So I want to start a YCH Auction thing like other pro artists on this site do.

Questions:

How many of you would be interested in something like that?

Would you care if it was pornography? Or clean?

And if I did something like... an extra character of a very sexy cute bunny NSFW thing. Would you take it? (full background and stuff)

And if you liked the background, would you consider the worth of it to be more or less $80USD Starting Bid to $250USD AutoBuy?



I would really like to hear your answers on this one.

More like $2000

Found out my tablet's 3in1 cable broke, is why the tablet didn't want to switch on. Sooooo I got a new one. But it only cost about $80

Why $2000? Because it's easy to manage, get me out of trouble, pay back of $56 a month.

Anyway I took it out because I think, just in case...I invested my money into a second Tablet. Just in case my other tablet breaks again...but this time I'm going to have my old tablet as the backup tablet/Traveling tablet.

I'm getting myself the Huion GT220 v2, as seen below:
https://www.huiontablet.com/huion-g.....20-v2-134.html

And a bracket, screen, holder thingy. To get my art commissions and workings in a more comfortable setting. Since I'm pretty much taller than most people in the world I felt it suitable for the occation to get a work set up that is more comfortable work in. I have issues with my neck when it comes to drawing on a tablet while looking down constantly.

So I invested my second item into the Ergotech Freedom Arm, as seen below:
http://ergotechgroup.com/freedom-arms.html

I'm super excited to get these items, and today I'm going to fetch that 3in1 Cable so I can continue working again! Also need a new tire for my car, had to put in a spare when I went to visit family in my home city in December. Burst on the way back. 1000km will do that to a car.

Anyway! HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS SOON!

Love you all~~~~

I don't know what happened but it won't turn on anymore. My Wacom Cintiq. It complete died last night while I was asleep.

I'm in such shit now, I need to work, but I can't without this tablet. It was my only source of income.

Going to be streaming with a friend as I mentor him into sketching quick 30minute sketches tomorrow for 8 hours for $1 each. On stream only commissions.

I'm not gonna be drawing the sketches, he is. So if you guys want any of those, follow and/or even join us tomorrow as I draw my customer's telegram stickers :)

Remember $1 30minute sketches for your character, very cheap, very quick, on stream stuff.

Phew...so there is a bit to cover here so I'll try make it brief.

November, half way through it, working hard on my backlog. I can successfully say that I've fought with 1/4 of my backlog since October and still going strong. I apologize for the month lateness of all the art I promised. A lot has happened, went to the wedding, stayed there longer than I should of, etc. But I'm planning to complete everything INCLUDING Christmas commissions by mid-December.

If I can do that, then wow...I'd of earned a lot of money if I didn't have a backlog. Which comes to my next point.

My art on here is full time, I don't know if many of you know that. The work I do here is to earn a living where I am at. I will say that I am fortunate to live with great housemates, clean, cook, and are generally really good to me. My stress since my gran's death has died down so much that I can work without stress of any form. I have my anxiety under wraps but it comes to me from time to time, I have friends that deal with it and then forgive me for it, so I'm fortunate for that as well.

I am currently sick. Been sick for 3 weeks now, with a cold...then a flu...then a post nasal drip...now I'm stuck with a bad cough, and as an asthmatic I'm not handling it well. But I am pushing through and working hard to get what needs to be done, done.

My work schedule this month is pretty much every day, including weekends, I'll be working as much as I can to get rid of this nasty backlog. And when it's all done, I'll be able to deliver these commissions faster to my commissioners. And get some advertising in as well. AND get a web comic going. AND actually have money to host a website and a VPS to Youtube some Minecraft and other games with a good friend of mine ;3

So I'm looking forward to Christmas and the New Year, I hope all my backlog would have disappeared by then, but only time will tell.

Hope to see you all around soon!

LOVE YOU ALL!

Friend sent this to me xD so cute.

---

When I was in university, first year. I struggled making any friends, just because you leave high school doesn't mean everyone has matured into adults. Bullies come in all shapes and forms. A girl sent one of my close friends to come beat me up in the Art Faculty bathroom because she was high off her mind on weed and thought I was saying things when I wasn't. A gay guy told me I looked ugly and should go kill myself because I grew my hair out and his boyfriend was someone that loved me and I rejected because I was loyal with another.

I had no friends in one part of my transition from Primary to High school because my friends were always in a lower grade than me. But I was too smart and clever to have them hold me back a year, so they separated me from people I liked hanging out with, to be with people who ended up bullying me everyday...

The truth was... I was alone. My family would leave me every weekend to be alone at home, which wasn't that bad...but I needed someone to talk and hang out to me. I stopped talking for a course of 3 years and didn't even open a text book to study. Yet I got average marks for all my exams. All I did was hide behind a computer screen, play Sims, Roller Coaster Tycoon and sometimes draw.

Drawing...

That was my only escape when I was in school, people would find me weird but still praise me for making an effort at something. Even though I sucked at drawing back then, I was still respected for that little effort.

I remember the reason why I didn't pursue studying Afrikaans (my secondary language in school) because I made a single mistake, which later I found was correct, and having the entire classroom laugh at me...even the teacher did too. And that teacher never did anything about what this one student said to me...I've never forgotten it.

He said:

"Out of all the things I've seen in my life which are retarded, you are the biggest one"

It hurt...a lot, being called retarded. A kid 4 years younger than me told kept repeating those words on my way back from school one day. African kid, with 2 Caucasian females...as he rode a pink bicycle, it was bizarre seeing 2 teenagers hang with a 11 year old while the 11 year old kept calling you retarded as they laughed. Well at the time the kid seemed really cocky and very easy to knock out. I was wrong, he knew martial arts where I didn't and knocked me out in a single move. Not only was I bullied but beaten up for standing up for myself.

I had no one, except for my dog. Zack, he was so loyal and loving, never would harm a fly (literally). He was my best friend at the time, and my only friend. But I grew selfish and bubbled up after that kid knocked me out, no one cared about me, no one liked me. I felt hated and isolated. Zack was there but I started to isolate myself from everyone.

One Sunday morning I made sandwiches, enjoying cartoons on television, when Zack came in and begged for food. I got so annoyed, that I told him to go away. I remember him leaving that door with his tail between his legs and going outside. An hour later my Mom asked where Zack was...he wasn't anywhere.

I said to her:

"He probably jumped over the wall and will be back in a few hours"

5 days later, 5 days of walking my entire neighbourhood at 5am in the morning trying to find my dog. Calling Zack...searching. I walked my entire neighbourhood several times...

Thursday afternoon

My mom calls me and tells me

"Sean...I'm coming home and I need you to help me with something, okay?"

She got home and she was in tears. She hugged me and opened the boot of the car.

Zack was there, cold, stiff...he was... dead. And because of me, because of how selfish I was he died. And I was truly alone. I kissed him on the cheek and hugged him as long as I could.

He was found 4 days before he died. Kept in a garage because he didn't have a collar on and left to die because the couple who took him in didn't wan't him to be outside and die. He left him to die in their garage, no calling SPCA, nor Animal Welfare...not taking him to the vet. They let my best friend die because they were afraid it would cost too much and there was no owner.

I was angry...I cried for so long. My best friend...my only friend. Where was I to go? No one would care if I died though. I thought of one way to kill the pain. By taking my own life.


I was in a hole, a deep dark one. My anxieties were fresh and I needed someone, anyone to hear me screaming by myself in my house alone.


It was hell. But when I picked up that knife...I put it to my throat and closed my eyes and said "NO! Not yet...I can change...I can be better...I can be there...I can help...I can mature...I can teach the world what I learned...love and admiration for those who need it...I know I'm not alone in this, there must be many like me that need someone to hold them"

I didn't pursue it...I didn't kill myself. But not because I was afraid...but because I felt I was needed by the world for something more.

I was still a teenager, still immature...still selfish. But never once was I uncaring and just as loving as I needed to be. I was angry and depressed sure...but still loyal and caring as I forced myself to be.

You...are not alone. No matter where you are and who you are. I'll always be there for you...I don't care if I have to look after a billion people...They all need love. They all need some acknowledgement. Don't snap back when people are cruel to you...if they are cruel, you don't need to be as well. Everyone deserves love. Even bullies need it.

If someone is in tears, hug them...if they push you away, force a hug...don't let go and tell them: "Don't worry anymore, you are not alone and you have someone that cares for you right now. Tell me what is wrong?"

Be patient, be kind, be understanding, be respectful...but always be empathetic to others...we need that. We need to be heard, we need to be changed, we need to be cared for.


And lastly...we all need to know.




You are not alone

This is also why I said 'mid October' slots xD anyway, Ill be working down there, very very slowly, getting these September slots rounded up. But might not make it, I skipped November slots as commission slots and dedicating that month to getting all my backlog up to scratch too.

Now why am I traveling down? A view reasons. Main Reason: Best friend's wedding. Other reasons: Family, seeing friends, spending time before I go back up to Johanessburg again.

:3 I got myself a new laptop (bought with some of the inheretance I got after my grandmother died) so now I can travel and work easily without having the hassle of carting my entire PC everywhere...like overseas, which I did for Australia. Good times :3

Anyway, I wont be working till tomorrow sometime, and I wont be streaming till the 10th in fact. No internet, just mobile data.

Love you guys!

I noticed my prices are sometimes a bit high for some customers and it's mostly because of the time I spend making the lineart and trying to make it perfect. As an artist, the best form of training is having confidence in your line and form.

Confidence in your lines...and making every mistake into uniqueness...

Im willing to do very cheap commissions, something that Ill work quickly with without having too use ctrl-z at any point. Because 2/3s of the time it's ctrl-z. Almost every artist knows this.

And it's the worst habit to have. So at the same time the art is cheap, you guys will be helping me work faster and neater with my art.


What do you think?

It will be time based, so Id probably complete a colour commission within an hour at that rate. Which would be $10. Ill be streaming it too. At first I'd probably suck...but over time Ill become better.

YES! The move is complete, just finished unpacking and sorting 95% of everything. Went shopping for stuffs, got the furniture in today. Set up and ready for tomorrow's first-thing-in-the-morning work! Waking up 6am to get to work on arts everyday of the week! Excluding weekends.

I'm le tired today from unpacking and setting up everything, my feets are sore and at least now I have my comfy double bed! Thank you all for helping me move! The place I'm sharing with is absolutely beautiful and quiet. I can hear the birds chirping outside and the day is bright and ready for the Nanukk!

HOPE YOU HAVE AN AWESOME WEEKEND
AND AS ALWAYS, I LOVE YOU ALL!

---

Going to be dark till next week. No internet, no pc and moving on friday. Spending my last days with family and friends.

Love you all

---

I would of been SKREWWWWWWWED. Like seriously skrewed. No account = no artworks and commissions = no income.

Yep, I work solely on Furaffinity to get through my day, put food on the table and pay the bills :) And I make enough to live comfortably!
So it's all thanks to you guys that I can work on my art everyday ^^ No patreon needed. Sometimes I go through rough spots and need instant cash that I work out of.
However, I've accomplished it. Everything I have right here is what I need.

So thank goodness this didn't disappear.

I hope you won't either :3

Love you all!

Been a bit since the last update, out at the moment getting my car's shocks and tyres replaced. So all is going well. I decided against the movers and went with just taking up the necessities, sell all the furniture I have too and just drive up. So that will be a fun trip. This is why I'm getting my car fixed and serviced. ^^ Thank you all for your support for the coming move.

Official date on move: 3rd June

So, yes. Got the lease signed and all ready to go!!! I'm a busy body lately, trying to get commissions done but still packing, fixing car, getting errands done before the move.

I have a few commissions I have yet to upload but thank you guys for your patience. I can promise you that I'm working on the list!


Now. Lately with all the moving and packing and stuff, I have been taking some time to myself, relaxing and playing games. Just to not get into burnout, trying to make the most of everything, even see friends in my city before I go because well...I'm working rather hard but friends and family are important too. I need to say my good byes.

If that is alright with you guys, I have a commission list I'm doing right now 6 commissions before the end of this month and then Ill be working hard after the first week of June to get the other commissions done. It sounds like a bad work ethic but it's more of a little easy workload so I can balance my soon to not be apart of' social life...in my current city before I move and unable to see everyone for a long time.

I'm sure you guys understand, but if any of you commissioners dont. Please note me and I can try arrange something, help you get your commission processed sooner if that's alright with the others. ^^

I hope all of you are well! Love yea all!

---

So I noticed a lot of my watchers, generally don't read the journals I put up. Some of you do but a lot don't. Probably due to too many watchers or too much of a read at times. Woops xD


I thought, since everyone is doing it lately, I should do Vlog journals. Easy to follow along, don't have to read. You can look at my ugly mug all day and all is good!

What do you think? Good idea?
Follow the links to via the annotations, comment and don't forget to subscribe! BYEBYE!

---

YES! Thank you so much to those who are helping me out!

I reached enough to move there! And settle in. And pay my medical fees!

Still need to repair my car. Hopefully if I can reach that second target I can do it! -squeaks- THANK YOU AGAIN!


IF YOU'D LIKE TO HELP, HERE IS THE JOURNAL: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7484652/

I just realized you can make a featured journal to stick to your page whenever. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?! Probably forever ago. :3

Anyway here is the list of commissioners that I'll be doing the work for in the next few weeks!

There is a lot of work to do be done, commissions are still open it will just take some time until this list is done.

COMMISSION LIST:

Entire Backlog

I will complete every single one of these, with as much love for each of them. It'll take time - but I'm done with commissions, for now.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS JOURNAL IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE, THE QUEUE PRESENT IS ALSO SUBJECT TO CHANGE IN DIFFERENT ORDERS DEPENDING ON OVERTIME AND WORKING ON SMALLER PROJECT BEFORE GETTING ONTO LARGER ONES. IF YOU WISH TO INQUIRE ABOUT ANYTHING REGARDING YOUR COMMISSIONS OR BEING IN THE QUEUE, PLEASE NOTE ME HERE ON FURAFFINITY OR CLICK HERE

I've been giving it some thought and I think I'll start allowing for any criticism to come onto my page. No matter how hard it is, or minor the critiques will be. To better myself as an artist, I think the best way is to take opinions from a second pair of eyes. Your eyes. No matter if you studied this field a lot or have no prior knowledge, art is about visualizing something to come to life. And to better myself as an artist, I should embrace it.

So I hereby allow anyone, no matter who you are, to critique my art in any way you feel fit on the submissions that those artworks you choose to critique are found. Enjoy it! And I'll be reading every one of them, even if I don't reply to them all :)

This isn't going to stop me from working. Actually working is helping the grieving process somewhat. Thank you to you all that consoled me, sent your wishes and are there for me. It means a lot that I have such caring watchers.

During the course of the past year, my grandmother's sickness (Cancer) was one of the main reasons for my anxiety, causing me to work less and well...be depressed more.

But I'm glad I was there for her in the end, she was someone really special in my life. But yesterday a Pastor came to me, my gran belonged to a church and she was well known in the family, and told me "You were very special to your gran and I can see, she was to you too. Not a lot of people at your age would of stayed with her. Her strength and will and determination will live on, and I'm here if you ever need to talk. You are a brave soul"

It was kinda good to hear that. No matter what, I'll live to be strong and I'm determined to be as pacifistic and loving as my grandmother was. What I grew up to be. She was the glue that held this family together, and all she ever wanted was all of us to get along. I'm happy.

I'm glad, the past 2 weeks she suffered a lot. Couldn't walk, talk, move her arms to drink anything. She wasn't herself, the person who jogged every morning with the dog, who was fitter than any lady over the age of 70. I can't say the same about me, I'm an artist in
front of a computer. And hopefully, soon, I won't be as lazy.


In any case, I'll be working soon again. Maybe not so much stream today as I did the past 2 days but... wherever she is, whatever happens after death, this is what she would of wanted.

My life isn't crumbling, it's only beginning.


I love you all and thank you again! You all mean so much to me!

---

I just watched as my grandmother passed away.

I loved her, and she raised me since I was 3 years old.
She was my strength and light and an only place I could go for guidance and love and support.

I always had a home with her.

I'll miss you gran.

---

Still fall in love with a spirit that is Christmas, and the spirit of giving and being with those you love. No matter who you are, in my watcher list, you are apart of my big family group. So just so you know, for anyone spending it alone, I love you all, including you.
