General | Posted 15 years agoI had hoped to put commissions on hold after I finished these last few for cateagle, tamati and Arais (Thank you all for being so incredibly patient with me, it means allot to me, really. I am honored to have such amazing and patient people as clients <3 <3)
However, I've come across a spot of bother- Someone rammed up the back of our car, and the insurance isn't turning out to be as helpful as we had hoped. Plus, I am in desperate need of some extra money to pay for my school fees.
Unfortunately, my computer committed suicide and I haven't been able to fix the problem- I had hoped to use my spare money to fix it, but I am not in a financial position to do that anymore, so I will be without a working computer for a while.. which makes assignments- let alone commissions quite difficult to work on digitally from home.
Depending on the nature of the subject, I might be able to work on digital commissions at school on the quiet days (which is what i've been doign for tamati and Arais)
The 'quiet' days don't happen very oftern, so i'm crossing my fingers and hoping that i'll get a few traditionally painted commissions in my next batch- at least then I will be able to work from home again. <3
And onto even more unfortunate news...
My dearest and most beloved uncle is in hospital. He wont be coming out, and due to my lack-of-money/lack-of-time I will never get the chance to see him again. ever. Even if I start saving now, he will be dead before I have enough money to visit. So instead, I'm sending him a portrait I did of him. He hasn't seen it yet, but I think he will get a kick out of it, especially because of the teachers amusing feedback. :)
My dear Uncle Steve is an amazing and very strange guy.
Despite his tainted history, he is a kind and generous person and I am glad to have known him for this long. I wish I could see him again, but i'm not financially able to spend the money on a ticket to the gold coast. :(
I have no idea what to say in my letter to him. "Hey uncle, sorry to hear you'll be dead soon. I probably wont make it to your funeral because I can't afford it. Sorry I havn't written to you in two years, heres my number ****-****-****, txt me some time, yeah! ;)" *sarcasm*
No, seriously. I have no idea what to write.
What can you say to someone who is on their death bed? :/

How not to hire an artist + thourghts
General | Posted 15 years agoI really couldn't have said it better than sejael did, so i'll just leave it to her because it pretty much mirrors my exact thourghts down to the tiniest detail...
"This has been circulating around the internet, and especially DA, like wildfire. So to those who have read it, please bear with me, and to those who have not, please go over and read the article.
http://kaitol.com/how-to-hire-an-artist/
Now, let's start by getting it all out of the way that that article made me cringe. For aspiring artists who want to make a career out of what they do, this type of customer is the one you must avoid at ALL costs. It is a surefire way to get yourself screwed over sideways. His "apology" isn't particularly an apology at all, but there is something to point out - we artists are at fault for "customers" like these thinking they can take advantage of us.
Now, there is something here that must be pointed out - this guy is able to exploit the artistic community because we as a collective fail to educate ourselves about how the business of art goes. He would not be able to write this if every artist out there, new and old alike, took an initiative in learning about pricing, contracts, and the like. The reason he says professional artists cost an arm and a leg is exactly BECAUSE they know what they're doing - and the rest of us who are just willing to work for pennies, or because we need cash now; well, we're the ones who get the short end of the stick.
So if you want to argue with the guy, go ahead and do it over at his journal (although, I personally think that reading through the comments, you'll find everything that can be said); but I think it is something that we must all keep reminding each other of. Learn about your trade, Learn about what others are doing, how much they're charging, and charge accordingly to your level of skill. Learn about contracts, so that you have it written down. If we don't protect our own behinds over stuff like this when it comes up, no one is looking out for our personal protection against exploitation."

This post was origonally written by: http://sejael.deviantart.com/
And you can see her journal entry right here: http://sejael.deviantart.com/journal/34167275/
My little addition:
Artists online feel like they have to under-sell themselves because other artists offer things for cheaper than what they should, and if we raise our prices too high we simply can't compete with that!
There needs to be a change in the way artists charge for their work, they have no respect for their own self-worth and are seriously underselling themselves.. which in turn, forces other artists (like me) to drop our prices just to compete.
I wouldn't mind hearing everyones thourghts on this topic. Do you agree that artists should charge at least equal to the minimum wage, or do you disagree? Why?

General | Posted 15 years agoDONATIONS SO FAR: $80.95
GOAL: $100Thank you
and 
for advertising my cause. Every little bit adds up, and I truly greatful towards your effort to help me help these people. :)Like I mentioned in my last journal, anyone who helps (by Advertising, or donating) will be featured for it. It means ALLOT to me, I am passionate about making my efforts count, so please please please help me by posting a link to :http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1608578/ in their journal, by passing on the message to their friends and family, or by donating dirrectly to the cause here: http://www.everydayhero.com.au/hero_pages/donate?url=wendy_warren
MORE INFOSo I just made a decision to spend five days living below the extreme poverty line…
I know. Ridiculous… (Today I start day 4, wish me luck! :3)
Why?? Well because after living all my life in absolute comfort, I have no idea at all what it’s like to live in extreme poverty (and I probably never will…).
So I’ve committed to spending five days eating on less than $2 a day, which is the World Bank’s extreme poverty line in Australian terms.
In doing it I’m also seeking to raise awareness of the lives of the 1.4 billion who do the same every day, and raising money to …
I’d love it if you could support me for this! I love food more than anyone pretty much. These last two days is gonna be hard…
Oh hey, and for every $500 dollars raised I’m gonna do an extra day!! (which may have been a REALLY bad decision)
Please go here (http://www.everydayhero.com.au/hero_pages/donate?url=wendy_warren) to help support me while Living Below the Line! And don't forget to mention this to your friends/parents/on your journal if you get the chance! *hugs*
I will feature anyone who helps these people!
General | Posted 15 years ago"Internationally, the Extreme Poverty Line is defined as US$1.25 a day – the equivalent of $2 in Australia. 1.4 billion people in our world currently live below this line, lacking the basic choices and opportunities that most Australians take for granted."For the remainder of the week, I will be living on less than $2 a day, to help raise awareness of the quality of life for Cambodian children.
You can do your bit to help by donating here: http://www.everydayhero.com.au/hero.....l=wendy_warren
"Just over 30 years ago Cambodia was ripped apart by a war and genocide that left millions dead and destroyed the social and economic fabric of the entire country. Cambodia today is yet to recover with one in three people living in extreme poverty. Education is critical in enabling Cambodians to lift themselves out of this cycle, but the devastating reality is that over 85% of young people don’t even start secondary school and even then the quality of school education is extremely poor."http://www.everydayhero.com.au/wendy_warren Please have a read of this, and consider contributing if you can.
It would mean the world to me.
For every $50 raised one kid will receive a schoolarship and get important education which will help them and their family fight their way out of poverty. And they will have a chance to live a decent life, where they wont die of starvation and wont have to become prostitues at the age of 14, or even as low as 8 years of age JUST to feed themselfs and their little brothers/sisters (many of these kids are orphans)
If you donate, please let me know and I will feature you!
It is a worthy cause.
Cheers.
EDIT: I ensure you all, this fundraiser is NOT putting my health at any risk. I have thought it out, and planned ahead just to be sure that I can do this thing sucessfully. I am passionate about this cause, and I want to do my best to help.
Please, if you feel that my heath is in danger, just think of the people I am trying to help- they live in FAR WORSE conditions than this and deserve your attention.
Cabin Fever
General | Posted 15 years agoI wrote something lame about missing my tafe friends.
but then I deleted it, because it was waaaayy too pathetic. And I don't want to be like that.
In short, I miss my tafe friends, I don't think the feeling is requited. Moving is going to suck. I'll distract myself with anime.
sappy. sappy. sappy.

General | Posted 15 years agoI had to put my dog down this Sunday. It took me nearly a year to be sure that it was the right things to do, it isn't the kind of decision I can make easilly, but in the end it was the best thing for him. He had an incurable genetic condition, which caused him so much pain that he couldn't even get up to walk.
It is winter in Australia, 3am and I can't sleep. Here I am popping sleeping pills and drinking a warm glass of milk. It is cold, so I went to get a jacket.
In the dark I picked up whatever jacket I could get my hands on.
It's the jacket I was wearing when we went to the vets. It still smells like him and has bits of his fur on the sleeves. I don't want to wash it, as icky and sentimental as that sounds.
It makes me sad, but happy too because he lived a really good life for a Beagle. We gave him a nice little funeral and he is now sleeping under a beautifully decorated cement slab, next to Woofa (the dominant male of the pack)
I spent the day with my family digging and just hanging out. They are really great.
It bothers me that not a single one of my real-life friends has the empathy to even acknowledge it. You'd think they would drop me a 'Sorry to hear' on one of the three fb memorials I posted, or at least accuse me of making a distasteful joke.
Granted, I understand that allot of my friends wouldn't have even seen it, but people like Leigh, Gani, Kelvin, Chad, Steve, Matty, Jacob all frequent my page and see what I post 9 times out of 10. If they don't comment they usually come up to me at tafe and make a snide joke about it.
So it makes me wonder...
They turn a blind eye to a serious topic where I actually could use some kind words, but will they also ignore random nonsensical obscenities? :D
(Someone should make a game show about this)
TITS!!!
VAGINA!!
DICK-BUTT!
...GIGANTIC PURPLE WANG!!

My Neighbors are Wankers
General | Posted 15 years agoMy neighbors are currently at the "young and stupid" dept stage (ok, not THAT young, they are around 21 and 25).
They are in over $30,000 of dept.
Both complain that it is 'too hard' to find a job, like the world it out to get them, so they pretty much just sit around all day and line-up at centrelink once a week.
When they get a job, they don't show up and are fired after ignoring months or warnings. The boyfriend is always cheating on the girl, and the girl doesn't take the Pill, or use condoms because she believes she is infertile (no, she has NEVER asked for a doctors opinion).
The girl claims to be studying fulltime to become a councilor, but i've recently discovered that her 'study' consists of her occasionally reading fictional books about rape and abused children.
They are out to the pubs every night till 1am. When they get back they wake Anthony and I up by trying to make conversation with their two cats. (Seriously, they actually believe the cats are talking back to them, and not in the cute way either)
Despite their debts and nightly partying, they have enough money left over to pay for cable TV.
However, they do not have enough money to pay my friend back the $1,000 they owe him for the bond of the house. Not even in bit-by-bit payments.
This friend of mine is a good guy.
Anyways, I just felt like venting about my dumb-ass soulless neighbors.

General | Posted 15 years agoSchool work is taking over my life more and more.
Much to my dissatisfaction and guilt I haven't been able to touch my commissions for Tamati, Cateagle or Arias much at all lately (let alone do any art for relaxation purposes). I certainly haven't forgotten about my commissions and trades, thank you all for being so patient and understanding. You are all such champions.
I will be putting my social/internet life on hold for a little while, for the sake of my real life.
Please bear with me. This is my final year of study, I don't want to fuck that up. The sooner I get my assignments done, the sooner I get to come back.
I will be back, don't you worry about that.
I will still be checking my hotmail account. So, in the mean time, if anyone wants to get in contact with me my addy is: ninykinin[at]hotmail.com
Cheers for being awesome and understanding everyone. :D
Talk to you all again soon <3

I am worried about the health of this girl I know..
General | Posted 15 years agoShe went from 55kg to 45kg in a week. (121lbs to 99lbs)
She doesn't diet, I know this for a fact. She is generally against fad diets and gets fired up when one of our mates talks about taking on one.
I know she is fairly responsible with her health and excercise. She usually eats well, and excecises once a day with a bike ride or long walk. This week she has only gone for one ride. So I know she isn't over-excercising.
She has complained about losing intrest in food. She eats, but she hasn't pigged out. This week she has been forcing herself to eat at least one meal a day, but complains about being full really fast.
I want to make this clear, she IS NOT annorexic. If she was she wouldn't be forcing herself to eat at all. She just feels full of the time.
So, does anyone know what is wrong with her? She'll be hopfully seeing a GP on monday about it, but I'd still like to have an idea...
help? :3

Any tips?
General | Posted 15 years agoI do not want to be sad. I LOVE life and I can't find any logical reason for my emotional state. But whether I think logically or not, it doesn't help, because I'll still baww for no reason.
[EDIT] Don't make the mistake of assuming that my love of life is due to an inexperience of the bad parts. Lots of people come to that conclusion before knowing me. I want to make it VERY clear, I am serious. My emotions have been quite unstable. So please, no one assume that I am happy because I am taking the glass-half-full route. I'm just trying to be a little bit stronger than I actually am.
- I exercise regularly.
- If I am sad I will exercise harder, and write out my thoughts, and if I am feeling courageous/desperate I sometimes talk to a friend online about it.
- I force myself out of the house EVERY day and get myself some sun, see the world. And I love those casual walks.
- I make myself eat healthy food, plenty of fruit.
- I force myself to go out with friends, even though lately I don't really feel like it.
- When I'm not distracting myself with exercise or social stuff, I distract myself with happy movies. (I have a massive collection of Disney.)
- If I can't distract myself with movies I will face my emotions via my art, (but really.. I don't have much motivation for it lately. Even school. I'll go for a 'lunch break' and be gone for hours, just.. walking. The physical exercise helps, but I can't concentrate on anything.)
I know how to help myself BY myself, and these things have worked wonders for me over the years but lately I seem to be losing it. I have no doubt that I'd be allot worse off if I didn't do these things, but I need some more tips.
I don't want to talk as there is nothing to talk about. I am not ignorant enough to think I am a special snowflake. I know most of the people who read this have felt the same way at some point, and I know that many of you still do. (So saying "there there, your not the only one" is kinda pointless)
There is no reason why I am like this right now, I just am.
Don't ask me 'whats wrong?'. Because I don't have an answer.
Just give me some more tips, as these seem to be working less and less. K thx. Bai.

Re-selling old commissions- Right or wrong??
General | Posted 16 years agoAlright, so I've completed a fair few commissions which have never been paid for, but HAVE been completed and given to the buyer.
Now, a few years later I have tried and tried again to contact these people for my money, with no luck. I have pretty much just passed these old commissions off as a case of "take-and-run". It really shits me off.
So, my question is... Is it ok to re-sell them, then replace the original commission with the markings from the new character?
I wont be doing this any time soon, but I figured it would be something for me to consider in the future.

Change
General | Posted 16 years agoI have changed this year quite allot. I feel totally confident with who I am, and its the first time since I was a 15 year old that I have felt this way.
When I moved to QLD I lost allot of my confidence, I was very reserved. The people I spent time with didn't help that. My best friend at the time would continuously bitch about our other friends, she created an unrealistic standard for my to live up to, and if I didn't I would surly join her list of things to bitch about.... Their hair isn't right, they aren't smart enough, their tits aren't perky enough, their parents aren't as rich as hers. Strange how it seems like the people who criticize others over nothing are the most insecure people of all.
Anyways. During my 2 years at North I changed drastically.
I had lost every single one of my friends due to the move there. I didn't have anyone I could trust. Heck, on my first day at the new school I was hitting it off with a group of people really well for the first 30 mins of class, but when I didn't have anything extra to say they went quiet and I heard one of the guys turn to his mate and mumble "She is a bitch". If you are reading this, I don't blame you for thinking that. Talkative bubbly girl suddenly goes quite. Seems pretty bitchy to me.
That one little thing determined allot of what happened while I was at north. From the first day my confidence was broken and I didn't feel like I could trust anyone enough to hang around them. I became depressed and anti-social. I would make up excuses not to hang out with people when I was invited out, even towards the end of year 12.
So, for a while there I hung out with the drug-fucked crew. Their lives where so screwed up there was no way they would have been able to judge me. Because of the company I surrounded myself with I made a few not-so-wise choices.
After some fucked up shit, I ditched that group and bounced from group to group for a year until I settled.
I didn't realize how much I missed out on until graduation, when we where all congratulating each other without any hate or stereotyping. Everyone was equal. Every one was happy, proud and I didn't have to break up any fights that day.
After graduation I moved back to Adelaide and begun tafe.
I was still pretty reserved up until 2nd year. (2009)
I know I am on the crazy side, and I know that allot of people hate eccentric people, like me. Maybe that's why I've spent so long trying to hide it? When I'm not being crazy, I am shy. Hiding the craziness isn't hard to begin with, but it becomes exhausting after a while.
This burst in confidence came half way through 2nd year, and it was all because of two people. Steve and Matt. These two people, whether they know it or not, have had the greatest positive impact on my life this year.
Matt, because he made me realize that being crazy and saying stupid shit isn't the worst thing in the world. It is often the imperfect people who make this world exciting... so he says.
And Steve, for criticizing the shit out of me and making me feel rotten all of the time, throwing random objects at me (even if it was all just a joke), to the point that I really don't care if people approve of how I am or not.
I can't please everyone.
It seems like such a simple Disney lesson, but it has been one of the hardest things for me to realize about myself.
My new years resolutions:
1)Take every opportunity to laugh, and if other people don't see the humor... who cares? (within reason)
2) Create something artistic every day
3) Save up $20 out of every pay for the move to Brisbane next year.
4) Get home, work on assignments. NO EXCUSES!
5) Go to lots and lots of festivals so I have some cool memories of Adelaide once I'm gone.
6) Complete my web-designs.
7) Party hard.

Good and bad
General | Posted 16 years agoOk, i'll start with the good news! :D
That friend of mine mentioned in my last journal if fine. She just decided to go to a meditation camp without telling her housemates about it. :/
Ok, not for the bad news... :(
My mum came to visit me this morning with some unpleasant news about my Beagle, Jackson.
About 7 months ago he started to limp, this wasn't very surprising as he is a small dog with a big attitude. Jackson shares the yard with him mother Kes and Bruno our mastiff. Bruno is a very kind de-sexed boy, and Jackson likes to steal his food and dominate him all of the time. Occasionally Bruno will bark at him and push him out of the way clumsily. So we all assumed Jackson limp was a result of Bruno stepping on Jackson or something similar.
After taking Jackson to the Vet we found out that it wasn't a fracture like we all thought, but a problem with a join in his leg. The cost to have this fixed would have been nearly $1,000. None of us have this kind of money just laying around, and the vets said there was a good chance that it would heal on its own, and if he did have surgery there was no guarantee it would work.
So, we brought Jackson some pain killers and for a while his leg started to look better. He was putting his foot down occasionally and looked happy. :)
This didn't last.
The same thing is now happening to all of his legs. It is painful for him to put any pressure on any of his legs, so he cannot walk much at all (and that is WITH painkillers) The vets do not know the exact cause of this, and the only treatment they can offer is to do surgery on all four legs, the vague quote was around $5,000
And again, there is no guarantee. Even so, Jackson isn't an old dog. It isn't his time to go and if I had the money I would spend it in a heartbeat, so DO NOT judge me or call me heartless for what I am going to do.
I am going to have him put down. If there was any alternative I would take it, but there is none.
I feel terrible. I just spent the last 3 hours balling my eyes out and i'm starting to tear up again.
I've known Jackson his entire life. I was there when he was born, when he opened his eyes, when he learned to run, jump and wrestle the other pups. I watched him leave, and he came back to us with the name 'Hugo' because the couple who brought him changed their mind, he left again, and came back with the name 'Star' because the couple who brought him didn't think to ask their landlord, he left a third time to a lovely old couple and came back again to me, this time called 'Jackson', because the couple where planning to retire, but didn't and the felt guilty leaving him alone.
He escaped our yard countless times by digging holes under the fence, but he came back. He escaped again by digging more holes, he came back and we poured cement around the fence. He escaped through the gate, he came back and we wired it shut. He escaped by running through the house and out the front door, he came back and we added an extra gate between the back door and the yard. He created holes in the fence and escaped, he came back and we put up an electric fence. And he kept on escaping no matter what we did. Unlike the other dogs, he found a way to get past it. But he always came back.
I didn't think I would ever lose his to some stupid joint problem.
Jackson has been my friend since the days of neopets, Pokemon cards and and packing lunch-boxes for primary school.
He trusts me and i'm the one who has to... (not to sound dramatic, but I can't finish that sentence.)
Instead, have an adorable picture of him, from one of the many times he went missing:

A dear friend has gone missing
General | Posted 16 years ago[EDIT] My friend is ok. She just decided to go to 'meditation camp' for two weeks -one of the requirements to attend it is to disconnect yourself from the outside world, no phone, no internet ect.
i'll post a new journal in the morning explaining it some more.
I just found out that my ex-housemate and good friend has gone missing.
She hasn't been home for a week, no one can reach her on her phone, she hasn't logged onto facebook and she didn't show up for uni classes this week.
what really ticks me off though... her new housemates noticed all of this and didn't do anything. It has been a week and no one has reported it.
I found out through a friend of mine. He only JUST found out an hour ago and was the last person to see her.
We will be meeting up at 7am (after his night shift) so we can gather all of the info we will need and put in a report first thing when the cop-shop opens.
So far what I think we will need:
Her contact details
Her photo
Her parents contact details
Her favorite places to hang out
If you can think of anything else please pitch in and help me work out what i'll need to tell the police.
Also, I have no idea how to contact her parents, especially because they live in another state and wont be in our phonebooks. I've asked around but no one seems to know. Any ideas are appreciated, thank you.
i'll post a new journal in the morning explaining it some more.

Commission questions??
General | Posted 16 years agoHey there everyone, I want to make a bit of extra money these holidays but i'm a bit clueless as to what kind of commissions I could do right now.
I was thinking of doing an auction, raffle, selling prints, custom 'coffee table' booklets, or doing sculptures. I just brought this really neat foam-clay stuff and it is really light so shipping would be cheap. This foam stuff is also kinda squishy, like a very firm stressball.
back on topic...
Christmas is a big day for my family and I really want to pay for the Christmas banquette this year. My family has done so much for me, I want to give something back.
I wouldn't have enough money to pay for the day just out of what I usually get paid, so i'll need to do some commissions to raise the funds.
Any ideas are appreciated. :)
