Anything-else-goes! [commissions]
General | Posted 16 years ago4 days until my summer break (Aussie here!)
I am opening up 3 'anything goes' commission slots. I want to use this free time to expand myself artistically and do commissions other than just my ordinary digital stuff. Although, ordinary digital stuff is always open, I want to get some practice with other things.

Commercial commissions!
General | Posted 16 years agoI am opening up commercial commissions. Every bit will help right now.
Most of you don't know this, but I am a Graphic Designer in the real world. I do things like wine labels, logos, posters, book illustrations, corporate car sticker designs, websites (flash, html, css), animation. Pretty much everything under the sun.
Commercial commissions tend to be more expensive though, so be prepared for that.
I am an inch away from completing my two current commission, so I figured I would open up my slots again. I wont bore you all with the details. To put it simply... I am in a tight financial spot after doing commercial design work and not getting paid. Also having one other client cancel on me because they decided to move to Perth on a whim.
All in all, I am about $700 short of where I am meant to be.
Some of my examples can be found here:

I am in need of money, and am sticking my hand up to be commissioned- Yes, even for commercial design!

Dreams of golden fields and bunnies... <3
General | Posted 16 years agoLast night I dreamt that there was a family of rabbits living near my house. Mamma rabbit, and two babies.
One day they where all chased down and carried off by three vultures. I was walking home from the shops when I found them sprawled out under a willow tree in the middle of some old farmland.
At first I thought they where dead until I noticed one of the babies moving very slowly trying to sneak its way back home. The bird knew where the rabbits where (thy put them there) and where flying around above. It was one tree in the middle of a field.
The mother rabbit was missing her right ear and was very badly beaten up with chunks taken out of her. The two babies just looked scared. One had a limp, the other one was terrified but otherwise fine.
There was 150 meters between that solitary tree and a line of trees which the rabbits would be safer. Problem was, it was 150 meters for three injured/exhausted rabbits to run.
I picked up the two baby rabbits, put my head down, closed my eyes and started to bolt for the trees. I called for the mother to run too. She tried to run near me so that she would have some shelter but her injuries stopped her from getting very far.
Did I mention the vultures where magical?
Well, when they saw me running off with their dinner they tripled in size and started trying to take me down. So, it was in a way quite fortunate that mamma rabbit couldn't keep up. The vultures where distracted by the temptation of a meal that couldn't fight back, so they took chunks out of her until she stopped moving and died in a red puddle.
By the time the birds had finished with their prey I was only 20 meters away from the tree line. It was then that I realized I no longer had one of the babies. The one with a limp was so frightened that he wriggled his way out of my arms and was left alone and disorientated on the ground 10 meters behind me. I turned around just in time to witness the ball of fluff being plucked from the ground by the smaller of the three birds, which had caught sight of me, and started to make a bee-line right for me!
So I ran.
This part of my dream was a blur, I remember that distinct feeling of breathlessness, and I remember the ground was soft and dusty, the kind of ground that is hard to run on. Damn South Aussie dirt.
By a stroke of luck I made it home without a scratch and with the bunny in my arms.
I had held it too tightly during the panic. It was dead.

How much is too much?
General | Posted 16 years agoMy sister and I have made the commitment together to spend the next two years paying off some very pretty studio photography.
So, I'm asking the people of FA... How much is to much to spend on art?
EDIT: I am not asking how much I should charge.

Pretty boys
General | Posted 16 years agoPretty boys are ick...
ick ick ick.
..... I *need* to draw more guys. Or at the very least, scan and upload my manly figure studies.
Buff boys are yum...
yum yum yum.
I dont understand the whole attraction to guys looking like girls. I really dont. u_u
When I get the chance to just draw for the sake of drawing without it being for tafe or commissions, I am going to draw lots and lots of sexy men to drool over!

Debates/history/questions - Go!
General | Posted 16 years agoI feel like sharing, debating and learning.
Ask me anything- No matter how controversial.
EG: What religion are you? how do you feel about abortion? Are you a racist? Have you ever jacked to cub porn?
I feel like debating with people and learn about topics that I have never considered before.
Ask me about a topic you want to talk about, and I will respond as honestly as I can with my own opinions.
Just remember, I am not after an argument. I want a debate- To give myself a chance to reconsider my own thoughts and to put other peoples stances to the test.
I want to learn about things I have never thought about. I want to learn why other people disagree with me.
Its been a while since I've had a good debate, I want to put my critical thinking to the test.
Topics I have enjoyed and topics I would like to learn more about:
Religion
Biology
Politics
Sociology
Defining 'Art' (a totally pointless topic, with no real end point)
Sexual health
Terrorism
aaannndd...... pretty much anything I haven't already listed. :-D

I wish I could livestream traditional painting
General | Posted 16 years agoBut alas... I do not have a working webcam. And even if I did the lighting around my desk is probably not going to produce very clean results when its transfered to screen.
I've been reminded about my love of traditional media.
The past few days I've been putting most of my time towards working on a traditional commission that was forwarded onto me from my sister.
And OMG!!
I love painting.
I do allot of painting at tafe, but the assignments we get are commercially based.
So we all paint these beautiful things but do it knowing that the end result will include the big letters of "BUY THIS PRODUCT".
Its nice to paint something pretty without having to convince the target market they should buy something they dont actually need. Art for 'arts sake' is good fun. <3
Its taken me 2 years, but I have finally convinced my partner to let me paint indoors. So i've been spending my day at my computer with my headphones on, a couple of brushes listening to the most beautiful flamenco guitar tunes this world has to offer while painting a couple of pretty vampire men hanging out in a red war zone.
LUFF LUFF LUFF! <3

This is what happens when I pull an all-nighter.
General | Posted 16 years agoI didn't sleep last night.
I think last nights potato bake must have been laced with speed.
This blog that leads no where- it just a series of rants which takes forever to get to the point.
I undercharge.
I SHOULD be charging around $150 for my stuff. But no, I know the majority of furs I do dealings with are short on money, and I love to make art for people who would otherwise not have a hope in affording work my level of detail.
Thats not meant to sound egotistical. Its factual, the work I do has a shit load more detail than manga. If you honestly think manga style is 'harder than realism' for the LOVE of god... open your eyes and stop defending something that everyone already loves.
I love anime, you love anime. Anime is epic. No one is disputing that.
But to say anime is harder than say....
silverone's art is just unnecessary.
Stop being such a shit stirrer flaming decent artists just cos they dont draw in your precious manga style.
Theres so much manga and anime for a reason- its QUICK to draw, quick to animate ect ect.
Try rendering something a little more realistic with lighting and detail before going around acting like you know what you are talking about, please.
It is rude to visit deserving artists such as Marta Dahlig and flame them unprovoked because you feel like their fame is undeserved. These people WORK hard their entire lives to get where they are now, this goes for any style of artist! I'm only using 'manga' as an example, but really this goes for every style.
It is rude to flame artists because you personally don't like their style, subject or fame.
Learn some RESPECT!
Back to prices.
Some how I fit under the category of an "expensive" artist here at FA.
That is ridiculous. Like... REALLY ridiculous.
I find it even more insane that there are people who only charge $7 for a fully rendered digital character.
Those people... kind of tick me off. They sell themeless short and don't give themselves the credit they deserve. They cause artists all around the world to hideously undercharge for their work. Artists dont have much of a choice. We all know if artists charge what they where meant to no one would hire them.
Heh.... I even had one person here telling me off for charging anything.
"art should be free for anyone who wants it" where his words. Oh, and he wasn't talking about 'art should be free to view', which I would agree with. Nope. He was saying I was a horrible person for not bending over backwards and doing a fully rendered piece for anyone who wanted it (free of charge). Supposedly, having a 'love' of art is enough of a reward.
Theres no doubt in my mind that the guy who said this would take that back if he had any appreciation as to the workload an artist MUST take on in order to be any good at all.
If you agree that artists should not be legally allowed to profit from their work either leave now or comment here explaining in an intelligent way exactly WHY artists shouldn't be allowed to do commissions.
I started art because I enjoyed it, but when restraints are put on my creativity it stops being as fun.
I enjoy drawing.
Even if its a mary-sue. I still enjoy it.
BUT, when someone acts disrespectful towards the artist it shows a level of rudeness and disrespect that I really cant just sum up in one blog.
I CHARGE $200 LESS THAN WHAT I AM MEANT TO HERE AT FA!
Some would consider that a charity, but I do it because I love the people here, I consider many of them my friends and I'd feel guilty for charging more than what I do.
Please respect that I am already undercharging. It is rude to ask for me to lower the price any more than it already is and it is even ruder to ask for art for free.
If you agree that artists should not be legally allowed to profit from their work either leave now and unwatch me or comment here explaining in an intelligent way exactly WHY artists shouldn't be allowed to do commissions.
Back to prices.
Artists online undercharge grossly. This is probably because most of them don't do it as a profession and have no idea of what their rights are as an artist.
I wanna slap these artists.
They are worth so much more than they give themselves credit for!
They deserve more respect than they get. It is rude to ask them to make beautiful art for haggled-down price of $7.
Oh, and what they hell is wrong with some people??
Theres this one guy at tafe who insults me, insults his friends. Bloody insults everyone and pushes anyone who gets close away.
He wont even let people hug him.
So, one day I got sick of him and told him exactly what I thought of his rudeness.
He turned around with this:
"My sister died 4 years ago and one of my friends committed suicide when I was in highschool. I dont let people close to me because I dont want to get attached"
Ok... hear me out for a minute. For a while there I really did feel for him.
But then I remembered:
"Boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one whose live's a piece of shit
And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it"
- thats from a song. Guess it and get a cookie.
You might not beleive this from reading this blog, BUUUT.... I fall into the empathy trap all of the time. I've always been like this, since I was a kid I would always befriend kids who had issues.
I have saved lives.
I am the one who spent most of highschool convincing people not to kill themselves.
I have had parents come to me thanking me for being such a good friend to their daughter.
So yeah, I fucking get empathy. Dont call me cold hearted- you dont know the shit this guy says to people.
I felt sorry for him until I realized I have issues too. I had a friend kill herself when I was in my senior year of highschool. not just that, but she did it with her friend. Two teenaged girls killed themselves together. The media got a hold of this and BLAM! what a shit-storm.
Aussies who watched the news, you might remember it.
Steph never told me she was depressed, and I considered us close enough to be able tot trust each other with that stuff. I felt as thought it was my fault. If I had of known I believe I would have been able to save her life.
The only hint I got was her blog saying "I feel like talking to someone, add me. [insert email addy]" the next day she went missing.
When I was 6 my older brother stole my candy. I got angry and asked God to 'get rid of him'. The next morning he was in hospital with a 2% chance of survival.
Imagine the effect that kind of thing can have on a 6 year old girl. I thought I was the one who did it to him. I still dont know.
Maybe thats one reason I refuse to beleive in organized religion. Because if there is a god, did he do it to teach me a lesson?
Lesson learned. I've never wished death upon anyone ever since. Not my brother, not my enemies, not the terrorists, not even the guy who touched me when I was 4, or the ex-boyfriend who ass-raped me on my 16th birthday.
I dont want your sympathy.
Actually, for stuff like this I would HATE to get any sympathy. I'm not a weak little sod and I dont want anyone to give me comments because they feel sorry for me.
I want people to go "Hey, I have been blaming my shitty personality over my 'issues', but really I am just a weak bitch with a shitty personality and need to learn to be tough like Niny".
Dont blame your issues if you are disrespectful to everyone around you.
Its got nothing to do with the 'issue', and everything to do with your level of maturity to deal with such things.
Moral of the story:
Shit happens to everyone. One persons issues are just as real as the next persons. It doesn't give anyone the right to use 'issues' as an excuse to treat people like shit. Nor does it give anyone the right to assume they are worse off than the next person. You dont know what the next person is going through, so dont just go around telling yourself 'they dont understand. Their life is full of sunshine and daisies.' because it never is.
Why am I telling you all this?
I guess its the lack of sleep that is preventing me from thinking of any good reason not to, but plenty of good reasons to as to why I should let it all out.
All I can hope is that who ever has gotten this far takes what I've said into account before they rip people off, complain about art, or treat other people with less respect then they deserve.
Oh, and this is a rant. It does not call for a spellcheck or proof reading.
If you leave dumbass comments about 'durr, I counted 370 spelling errors' You have totally missed the point of this journal.

A stunning realization!
General | Posted 16 years agoI dont much care for some most of the people in this fandom.
Theres a certain level of maturity that seems to be missing from time-to-time.
WTF IS DIAPER PORN!!!??????? WTF is that SHIT?
WTF!!! GET A JOB AND STOP WHINING THAT YOU ARE BORED!!!
If you HATE your parents THAT MUCH, please. For the love of god MOVE THE FUCK OUT!!!!
IF you are having 'money troubles' grow the FUCK UP and stop commissioning artists when you CANT AFFORD IT!!
A SWEET/SEXY CAT GIRL WITH BLUE HAIR IS NOT AND ORIGINAL CHARACTER!!!!
AARERRGGGGG *foams at the mouth*
Discuss!

I'm really happy
General | Posted 16 years agoI'm really happy.....with my "Anon" commission right now.
You know those times when you just feel like its all going in the right direction? That feeling you get before you produce something super-freakin'-epic?
I have that feeling right now. :)
Its nice. I've been really stressed lately. *basks in super-freakin'-epic feeling*

It's finally happened...
General | Posted 16 years agoIt's finally happened... This is me officially saying "I've put to much on my plate".
just to give you a rough idea...
I have 21 assignments. 18 of these are due within the next 3 weeks.
I have 1...2...3...4....5....6.....7.....8 client jobs to get done, the sooner the better.
Then there are my 3 enjoyable FA commissions. <3
and lastly, my trades.
whoop-whoop! *gnaws at something*
Thankfully, I am not the kind of artist who leaves a commission for months without progress. The only way I ever get anywhere is to work consistently.
I dont do holidays.
actualy....
I think i get more work on holidays than I do while i'm in tafe.
ooh... sweet-sweet irony. <3
just to give you a rough idea...
I have 21 assignments. 18 of these are due within the next 3 weeks.
I have 1...2...3...4....5....6.....7.....8 client jobs to get done, the sooner the better.
Then there are my 3 enjoyable FA commissions. <3
and lastly, my trades.
whoop-whoop! *gnaws at something*

"seductive_sweet_anika@hotmail.com said (1:32 PM):
HAVE fun with my Josh you cunt eatting bitch! BLOCKED."
I cracked up laughing when I read that.
I was blocked for trying to talk her ex out of suicide after he found out she cheated on him
Apparently, giving a shit about another humans life makes me a "cunt eating bitch".
THAT, my furry friends is truly lol-worthy.

Note to self
General | Posted 16 years agoMore homework, less perving on beautiful man-friends!
... Damn you facebook!!! *shakes fist* Why must you tag beach photos of attractive man-friends when I have study to do?? >.<
It's the holidays in a few days, and I only have one spot left to fill on my commission list. So, anyone wanting art from me within the next two weeks should grab the spot before it's taken. ;)

Rping?
General | Posted 16 years agoI feel like msn Rping with someone.
But I dont want it to just be yiff.. cos that stuff is just yucky.
And I dont want to rp with a Mary-Sue character. Mostly I just want to rp as a way to vent the shit in my RL.
So, any takers?

I feel bad
General | Posted 16 years agoI went off at one of my mates because he bagged me out on facebook.
Now I feel bad for loosing my cool.
And we where actually getting along really well all week... darn it.
And an extra special 'darn it' because I keep checking him out at tafe.
Yup, thats my sin.
I'm a taken girl who is always lusting over her man-friends.
Lucky for me, I have been blessed with a thing called 'self control', something far to many people lack. But how on earth do I stop myself from thinking it? I feel bad every time.

♥COST GUIDE♥
The majority of commissions seen in my gallery cost $80-$100, while my more detailed more recent ones cost around $150
Turn around time:
Please allow up to 3 months if you commission me while I am juggling with work and study.
I put allot of time and effort into the art I do. My art is my pride and soul. I will NEVER label a commission as 'completed' if I believe I can do better. Because of this, I will constantly be checking for errors in the details and my art takes allot of time and effort to be completed. This means that every commission I do is done to the VERY best of my current abilities.
Turn around times may be faster or slower depending on how much work I have under my belt. If you need your artwork done by a certain date plea se let me know in advance.
Here is a guideline of how much a project might cost:
* full color sketch:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2194873/ = $25
* Realistic-style, simple coloring:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2207302/ = $50

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The above prices are just a guideline, as each project is different and will take a different amount of time. For an accurate quote please message me.
If the project is complex it will take longer and be more expensive. Likewise, if it is a simple character or a species/gender I have had allot of practice with it will take less time and therefor will be cheaper.
I occasionally give discounts if the character design makes my jaw drop. This discount will be instant, you need not apply for it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
♥THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW♥
♥ I will not draw something if my morals are against it. That means nothing involving children in sexual or violent acts.
♥ I will refuse to work with you if you have a immature, aggressive or disrespectful attitude.
♥ I will need the payment in advance the first time we work together.
♥ Once we build a trust I will relax the payment rules a bit. ;)
♥ I prefer to have some artistic freedom as the images tend to come out much better when I do.
♥ I give discounts when I love the character.
♥ I will send WIP's.
♥ If there are any errors in clothing/markings/ect I need to be told during the early stages of the art; Please do not wait until the artwork is completed to tell me about it. I will fix the error for you at your request, but I must charge for any revisions once the artwork reaches a detailed stage.

General | Posted 16 years agoAnyone know how to get the #Furaffinity chat to work?
I had it working for 5 mins when it disconnected and I haven't been able to get connected since.
"-NickServ- Nickname niny is already registered!

You need a registered nick to join that channel."

Vagina!!!
General | Posted 16 years agoIt is NOT on the lower part of the stomach.
God damn!
How can so many decent artists get this simple thing so horribly wrong?!
I have illustrated a simple diagram to point out where a healthy vagina is located:

General | Posted 16 years agoI have a commission form now!
http://www.freewebs.com/warrenart/c.....issionform.htm
And some very necessary 'Terms Of Agreement'.
http://www.freewebs.com/warrenart/t.....sofservice.htm
I need to know...
are they simple enough to use? Is there anything I should add? Does it all make sense?

Me, Pole Dancing!?
General | Posted 16 years agoOkay, so my old room-mate has been doing pole dancing for the past year and asked me to join up with her yesterday. It sounds like a tone of fun, so I will (if I can save up the fees).
Heres the downer.... It cost $200 per term, $50 deposit. Both of which, I cannot spare this payday (due to collage fees and one particularly large phone bill) . The dance lessons start next week.
My school holidays are coming up in 3 weeks, at which point I want to find a part time job but for the time being I cannot afford to dance.
I want to do it, because I havn't seen my old room mate in ages, and it'll be fun... AND staying on a computer all day working on assignments and the likes is starting to take it's toll on my health.
I WILL do the pole dancing if I get $50 or more worth of commissions payed in advance. I will have plenty of time to work on them during the holidays and some time next week (after most of my assignments are due)

Help, I need some advice..
General | Posted 16 years agoIt just hit me that a friend has lied to me (yet again) I've been lied to and used by said 'friend' a few times...
And this friend always acts like nothing is going on when ever I talk to them and pulls the 'I am so offended that you would think bad of me' card when ever I question them about it.
this new realization REALLY ticks me off.... Should I politely lose contact with them? That wouldn't be very hard for me to do, but it's not like me to ever do something so spineless. I'm always worried that I am missing a piece of the puzzle that will clear them.
I know this person has a reputation of loosing their temper when they get dropped (it happens often to them)
I don't like to think that anyone would try to use or lie a friend for their own convenience, I like to think people generally try to be kind, fair and loyal... but I may have found an exception.
Advice, please?
