Wow, over a year sense I wrote anything here, well shit, I guess I really don't know what to ever say, lol.
I guess the quick is I'm posting a hand full of things I was working on to show that I'm not actually dead. With Mayturity next month, I have a simple goal, draw each of Fox's partners round, and if I manage that, then anything after that is a bonus, lol, so lets see if I can do it.
Might talk about games in the next journal, to see what games people play, well, at least those that game and read my journals.
So till next time, have a good day or night, depend on your preferred time to be awake.

And with that, the voting is done, and we have a tie with Sky and Sheila. There will be no tie breaker, even thou I wasn't expecting a tie, I figured if there was one I'd just do all winners.
So yea, I'll be drawing Sky and finally have to draw my "newer" character Sheila and finally introduce the one partner of Fox that I haven't drawn yet, lol.

Also, for those curious, here's the final results.
https://i.imgur.com/v9Wk7ON.png

Going to do a straw poll thing, cause I need to draw but I don't which of my characters I should draw.

https://strawpoll.com/polls/7rnzGrlwdgO

Here is a list of characters in the poll that I was thinking of drawing, name and simple description, most can be found in my gallery.

Sky - small red fox.
Holly - fennec fox dragon hybrid with a little snake.
Danielle - kangaroo dragon hybrid
Sheila - arctic fox kitsune (some one who I haven't drawn yet)
Kalseru - kobold
Jenna - mostly albino red fox
Eve - short hair feline (forgive the old image)
Sarah - skunk
Chula - vulpix
Talli - vaporeon
Sol - sylveon
Miyu - umbreon
Freya - arcanine

https://strawpoll.com/polls/7rnzGrlwdgO

This poll will be open till noon Friday Saturday (apparently I messed up the timing, so there's still about 24hr left, ending at 12pm UTC) , you should be able to choose up to 3, multiple voting is allowed, but I think you'll have to close your browser as I have the duplication checking set to "browser session".

I'd like to thank those that commented on my last journal. I did read each, I'm just horrible at replying normally, so, thank you vary much!

With that said, it seems that people use all kinds of sizes of canvases, but it does seem that more tend towards a larger size then what I use, I might try a smaller size at some point but for now I think I'll be going a bit bigger.

As I need to draw more, I'm going to open myself up for 3 single character commission.
$20 for a cleaned up sketch / $30 for lined art. (As of now I only use paypal)

Simple list of things I'll do:
-pregnancy / hyper (obviously, lol)
-breast expansion
-just a normal image

Simple list of things I won't do:
-hard vore / gore
-cub / diaper

So if anyone wants one, just let me know, and I'll contact you thru notes to get the details of your character as well as billing info. (slots taken, thank you)
1:  MattFolfsky (done)
2:  786 (done)
3:  Airking (done)

And now time to go post some stuff I've been sitting on.

So I'm stuff trying to get better and faster at drawing, even got a new program that feels better for sketching and I can line with it (prior to this I was using a ummm . . . borrowed copy of CS6).

But the question I have, for those that might read this that are digital artists, is: What size canvas do you normally start with? What line thickness do you sketch with?

Currently I use a line size of 10 and on a canvas size 4000x2500px. (using a Wacom Cintiq 13HD tablet monitor and the program Clip Studio Paint). Guess I'm just seeing how others start and go about doodling and drawing.

I'm asking cause I feel like I'm trying to hold on to the past when I did everything with paper and pencil.

Thanks.

(Also, sorry for not updating anything from my last entry, I can't believe it's been a year. I need to work on that.)

So, I let this go longer then I had planned, but after posting wondering how interested people where in getting a commission from me (the response felt low but was mainly positive), I hit a wall with drawing, art block I guess, everything I tried drawing felt off and it got me discouraged.

But I've been getting back into doodling and forcing myself thru it and it's been getting better, thus I'm feeling confident in opening up to take a couple commissions. Not just yet thou, I need to go thru to figure out what I'm will draw (which should be fairly obvious), what I'm willing to draw, things I'm not willing to draw, and pricing (some things are subject to change).

Give me a week, hopefully, to figure these things out, and I'll post a new journal once I'm ready.

Thanks for your patience.

. . . if any one would be interested in getting a commission from me if I opened up for them.
Just a quick poll to see if there is.

https://strawpoll.com/jg6kd61w1

. . . guess it's time to post something new here (and to show I haven't died yet, lol)
So yea, I'm still alive and trying to do things, and stuff.
I'm horrible at thinking up things to write here.
Brain fart.
I'mma post things I've doodled now cause I'm not sure what else to say, so art incoming.

P.S. Marry Christmas/Happy Holidays.

I'm going try opening up for commission again, seeing as I have lots of time on hand and I need to step away from games a little bit, and I need a bit of money as I'm currently unemployed.

I'll be doing three $10 sketch commissions to see if I can manage to do them in a timely fashion. Images will be similar to my more recent posts and my more cleaned up characters on my random pages.

I'm willing to try different stuff, but here's a list of thing I will not do right now: vore, diaper/baby fur, hard porn, and planet sized body parts. There's more, but these are the basic ones right now.

I'll take payment via paypal for now as it's the only thing I have setup. For now, I'll take payment once I have completed the picture.

This is first come first serve (unless I decline). What you have to do, reply (or note me if you wish to remain anon) with a link to an image of your character and what you'd like to see of them.

So lets see if I can pull this off.

1:  pregfur -done
2:  gyro-furry
3:  brasslion

As it says, sorry for the art spam. It has been awhile sense I posted anything here, so yea, sorry about that. Those of you who follow me over on DA have already seen more of these.

Umm, yea, that is all, later.

I've been trying to play games online when I can, sometimes I can't cause my home internet is to slow for them.
But one day recently I was thinking how many times have I passed some one that watches me here. So I decided that I should post my user/character names for some of the games I play online and see if anyone remembers crossing paths with my characters, so here we go.

-Warframe - Dragon-Fox - This one has the highest chance that I've crossed paths with some one sense I have around a 1000 hours in the game plus the small squads makes it easier to see and remember names.
-Elite Dangerous - CMDR Fox Wildwind - This one might be hard, sense, you know, the social is kind of shit in that.
-Guild Wars 2 - Trinity Grayblaze - This is the main character I play as (a female Charr), though it my be hard sense the mass amount of player there can be at one time.
-Robocraft - FoxWildwind - I don't play this that often, so I'm think that I didn't, but you never know.

So, have I ever crossed your path? Let me know in the comments.

I'm home again, yay, but now I have to deal with slow internet, boo.
With being home, it means I'm on lay-off again for a little while, and I've been bouncing around the idea of doing sketch commissions as a way of making a little bit of side money, but I'm not sure as of yet. Should I or shouldn't I, yay or nay, what do you people think?
On a side note, I got a request on Skype form a contact the seemed legit, not a random bot account, but in my sleepy state I clicked ignore instead of accept, to who ever that was, I'm sorry. I don't remember the name, and I'm hoping I'm not saying sorry to some one that would of trolled me. I can only figure that it was some one on FA sense, I think, it's the only place I have my Skype name on.

Well, I've been back sense Monday, but was lazy. Unfortunately I had no time to draw while I was gone, it was drive, drive, drive, get hotel, sleep, wake up, shower, drive, drive, drive, get hotel, sleep, wake up, shower, ect. ect. ect. The only day I had anytime to doodle was Saturday but I was so spent that I crawled into bed and slept close to 12 hours.
But now I'm home and I got some gaming in (Elite Dangerous for the most part, got a Python finally, go me), so here's hoping I can get back on track with drawing.
Well that's all, cause I live a boring life for the most part.

I'll be away from my computers for several day as my job is having me drive west. I was thinking of bringing one of my lappies but don't think I'd have time to hook it up and use it so I've decided not to, BUT I'll be taking a sketch book with me in case I do find I have time. The only tech I'll have is my phone and that well be about it (shit, I just realized I need to add more music to it).
Well, that's about it, be back on Monday, maybe I'll have something new art wise.

I planned to do one thing, and I never got to do it. Last night I doodled, and when I went to bed I was like "I going to get up, and keep drawing". Woke up, did the one thing I was ask to do by my ma, took a shower, fired up my laptop with the intent and motivation to draw all day. But as my luck has it with planning things, everything goes against it. While I was in the shower my job calls, I need to make a run to South Dakota, no biggy, that's tomorrow, I'll just be going to bed a bit earlier. After my laptop is up and running my dad comes into the room saying I have to get out and burn garbage, after which I had to help tare down an old dog pen, and watch the fire of which we started putting the wood from the pen on so that it didn't spread. That was all day, then after dinner (which happened right after being outside) I had to go up and help put something in the back of a truck.
Now I'm home, and lost all motivation to do anything now, and even if I did have the motivation, I'd run out of time cause I have to get in bed soon.
Go figure, I finally had motivation to draw, and I'm stuck outside all day. This is the reason there isn't more art from me, every time I plan and have the motivation to do so, shit like this happens.
This isn't an isolated case, at least 95% of time I plan something (even large things), I end up getting pulled away from doing what I had planned.
Maybe I should just give up on it.

The job site decide that they didn't know how to go about the new blueprints so they've decided to redo them again (at least that's how I'm seeing it), so the crew has to pack up and leave cause it's going to take a while to get stuff reworked and finalized.
This means I have to drive a large plow truck home (yay for only being able to do 55mph) and then I get to turn around with a semi truck and go back for the job site trailer, fun fun.

So until this gets done and I can get resettled in at home, all stuff that I was working on is on a temporary hold till farther notice, hoping to be back on it by the end of next week.

So, I'm back on the road again. What does this mean, not much, but I now have a proper desk to work at, and it's big enough for both my laptops and my tablet with little movement my stuff to use it. Now what I plan on doing, now that I'm settled in, is to draw and post 2 images each weeks (starting on Sunday). These might be finished or just sketches, but there will be two (or more) each week.

Also I needed to post a new journal to show I'm still kicking (somewhat).

Now I just have to stop playing Guild Wars 2 long enough to actually draw stuff.

So, I've been playing EVE and was wondering who else plays it. Currently I've not joined any corps. cause I really have no idea what I'm doing when trying to join one, so I never did. But never mind that, who plays it? And what group/corp are you in? Where is it based?

Geckoguy posted a journal for me asking for some help. Well I did the thing that where suggested, even though I did most of those before, but still, I re downloaded all the drivers again. Nothing.
Well, I said screw it, and reformatted the computer (nothing lost sense it wasn't used, not having a code to activate Windows 7 till recently), and the monitor worked again. So the first thing I did was install the tablet drivers before doing anything else, and it worked, I use the pen to move the courser around to make sure. I also found the disc that came with the graphics card. I installed it, it asked to restart (during this time the tablet monitor was on and working), it restarted the black screen that has the little windows emblem was on on both monitor, but when the screen went blue before showing the desktop, only one monitor came on.
I'm lost at what to do, when I open the control panel for the graphics card, it only seems to want VGA connection, the other two monitor connections (DVI and HDMI) it's basically saying fuck off to them. And when I go into windows device manager it only see the one monitor, which I think it seen both before the driver was installed.
So, yea, I don't think I'll be buying AMD ATI graphic cards again, I've used Nvidia in the past and never had a problem, even after reformatting a hard drive or building a computer. By the way the card in question if I remember correctly is a Radeon R5 230.

Well that is all, cause I don't want to think about it anymore right now.

I'll actually put something here worth while, cause it seems I really have nothing to write, it's all meaningless most of the time, just the ramblings of a person who doesn't know what to do, or what to say.
As for the last entry, I got it running, as if anyone really cares.
I need to do something, so bored with my life.

I should be posting something art wise soon, nothing impressive, most of it is just random doodles, but hey, it something.

So, I've been trying to build a computer (a desktop) to hook my tablet to. I got a bunch of peaces and parts from a buddy of mine and bought a couple of missing thing and put it together. After getting it assembled we fired it up only for it not to work. We figured it was the hard drive cause it wasn't reading. Well I brought it home and thru in a drive I know works (the one out of my old desktop) and tried getting to run. After a couple tries it still didn't work (but I could hear the drive working), so I figured it was a ram issue, so I started pulling ram till it worked. Finally got it working installed windows 7, and I was all happy again, then installed the graphics driver, let it restart, now it won't run the display, fuck.
I've never been lucky building a computer myself, every time something is fucked up and I don't know why, its fucking annoying.
So what does this mean? I won't be able to learn how to use photoshop (or other art programs) anytime soon, which suck seeing as I have all kinds of time to attempt to.
Well, I think I've been annoying enough for those who actually read these.
Later.

So, yea, I'm sure most are tired of hearing about people leaving FA for Weasyl, but don't worry about me, I'm not leaving. I just letting people know that I do have a Weasyl account (I've had it for over a year now, so it's not like I just made it, and I just started posting stuff there (its the same stuff that I posted here, so nothing new)).
So yea, I now post at 3 places, here, DA, and Weasyl.
DA - http://ozzy-wildwind.deviantart.com/
Weasyl - https://www.weasyl.com/~foxwildwind
So if you're watching me but plan on leaving, those are the other places you can find me.

In other news, it's been awhile sense my last journal, but I'm sure some may have notice that I got a room of my own, just by the new art stuff I've posted. So now I hoping to not be overly lazy and continue to draw.

My work van was in need of repairs, blown axle seal, bad taillight wiring, headlights started failing again, power steering pump is leaking, steering gear is leaking, among other smaller things.

I guess I could leave this here as well, I play games (duh) and have an account on Steam and Origin, if you want to add me, I'm fine with it, just let me know, I don't like adding people that I don't know where they came from. Also I don't play online games much, mainly it's been BF4, but I'm waiting for the Elder Scrolls online for an MMO game, yea never played WoW are other games that require a pay to play system, but I think that this one might be worth it.
So my account names:
Steam - ozzy_wildwind
Origin - Fox-Wildwind

Ok, I think I'm done for now, I sure what else to say, so , laters.

I'll be dead for art for awhile, I'm working once again (which normal wouldn't stop me from drawing or anything) but I have to room with some one for the time being, and because of this I'm not able to much of anything, I try to game online, but that tends to be pointless cause I can't speak to any one without the person I'm rooming with turning up the tv.
In fact as I write this, I'm wearing headphones (turtle beach earforce PX22) with music playing and I can almost clearly hear everything on the tv.
And warm, for those that know me, I like the cold, but I have to room with some one who seems to like it warm. So I'm sweating just sitting, and it makes me lose focus (thus another reason why I can't game).


I just have to hope it starts to snow or they get the windows put in the store so I can be put on nights, and get my own room, and not go insane, or worse (health is already going do to not having a way to escape from every one, I have this thing with not wanting to deal with people, but now I'm stuck in a room with some one.

Ok, I'm done bitching.

I'm going to be uploading some new stuff, as well as cross post some stuff a whole bunch of stuff from DA.
So this is just a heads up that I'm going to be spamming your inboxes. That is all.

Fuck Netflix, they finally add new anime and I was all excited, started watching, sub-titled only. Check another, again, sub-titled only. Well I just check ones that I have watch that I know were dubbed, now most are only sub-titled, fuck.
Now I know that there are going to be purists out there that are going to say "well yea, that's the only way to watch it" or "good, the English voices are horrible". Well honestly, I like the english voices, the normal language (be it Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or what have you) sound really whiny to me most of the time.
But the thing that bothers me is the fact I'll start a show then start drawing while it plays, so it makes it hard to follow if I don't understand what they're doing or saying. I only look up when I hear some one say something or hear something interesting. If I have to sit there and read every thing I get nothing done. If you're wondering, look at my gallery (including scraps), go back 2 to 3 year, over half of that was done while having something on Netflix running, most of the time it was an anime.
So yea, I may be getting rid of my account if this B.S. keeps up.

Ok, I'm done whining, sorry about that.
