I like how when I was sleeping everyone was all "FREE ARTS/TRADES" wat.

I like arts.

I like trades.

it's just that whenever I do a trades journal I say "I'll do the first five!" and end up getting caught up in an art whirlwinds and doing most of the ones posted :c which is fun, but breaks my fingers.

frowny face.

I'll probably do a trades/ commissions journal some time in the near future though so look out.

I really want to draw sugary gay things lately what in the world self.

I was only able to regain my ability to draw competently about four days ago when I drew Guy Gardener as a sailor scout.

what in the world self. Last year I had like a million things posted by February.

I've got stable internet now and also I don't want to cut off my drawing hand.

prepare for incoming wave of crazy bullshit art as I continue to look for a job (yep, still jobless) and burn off my frustration for not having said job.

yaaaaaaaay.

my internets have been down a lot lately because I can't pay for them until I get my last paycheck (no one else in the house had any money left after the other, more important bills). I'm stealing from the terrible connection next door right now. I just want to thank everyone for their well wishes. I really appreciate all the good vibes coming my way you guys.

well, time to get some sleep. Today was my last day of work, but I can still go down there and haul crap to the moving trucks for extra cash. If I work all 4 days for 10 hours a day I can get overtime :D My bones are gonna turn to dust! :DDDD

I just got laid off today. my theater is shutting down for good in 7 days.

I also went to a bon fire and roasted marshmallows over the delicious hatred of a friend's ex (we burned all the useless crap he left in her house). there were also pigs in a blanket. and kittens!

oh, and a tiny piece of wood got in my eye. oh god pain. I had to lay on her kitchen floor where a super nice girl who's name I didn't catch flushed it out of my eye (it took like a million times what). what a sweetie.

also It seems whenever I lose my job a tiny black cat enters my life. This time the party host just happened to have an adorable little guy with a squinty eye and she just had to pawn him off on me. I want him so bad but now I can't afford a cat FFFFFFFFFFS.

what the hell is this life.

okay, I guess I'm back now. a combination of me not knowing the site was up (my google kept showing the outage page link and I eventually stopped clicking on it because it was down so long. I feel dumb now:c)

there is good news: in the time that the site was down, I got a new job. hooray! I work at a movie theater now with a bunch of boys who snort popcorn salt and constantly talk about WOW. things could be better, but at least I'm getting paid. As for the commissions, I will be putting them on hold for right now. all commissions I have lined up will be finished ASAP and all commissions I have set to send out right now will be in the mail (I couldn't get to addresses with the site down/me being oblivious to the site being up. sorry guys).

if you have any issues note me. and again, sorry for the delay commissioners.

sleeping now. lots of work to do tomorrow.

If you want your commission all costume monstery and weird (kinda like http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3007618/) just ask and we'll talk about it. it's a little more difficult because there's more parts to it that I have to personally design, so I'm going on a case by case basis with these. they're probably not gonna be less that 15 bucks though unless you want a chibi one.
1.

NOTES
if there is anything else you would fancy that is not on the list, please do not hesitate to ask. I will try to work something out for you. Also, when you send your refs don't worry about them being too long or anything, the more information about your character the better. for keychains and icons please specify if you want them regular or all cutesy chibi like.

I'm okay at pin-ups but horrible at porn.

also just to let everybody know, I'm thinking about moving a lot of my commissions and trades to my scraps. not because I think they're scrap, but because they're taking up A LOT of space in my main gallery. is this a good idea y/n? I really don't feel like making another account and uploading all this stuff.

I hope I didn't forget anything.

okay now WE'RE DOING THIS KIDS.

WE'RE MAKING THIS HAPPEN.

thank you everyone for the responses, I really appreciate your concern and well wishes on this, a most assy of occasions. Let it be known that I am looking for a job and since I live in a tourist town I might be able to at least find something seasonal.

THE SHITTY:

As for questions as to the lost job, I was working at Books a Million at the time and my general manager decided to pull some shit because it was pretty evident that she did not like me at all. I worked in the cafe and when our cafe manager moved on to bigger and better things (she was a pretty stand up lady even if she was a little strict. she picked up cool junk for us at yardsales and I went to her son's wedding. also she hated the general manager like burning) we were left without anyone to handle the cafe orders and such. I did not want the job because I was told I would get no raise for taking on more work. Then the job was given to another girl, along with a shiny new raise, who had been there for much much less time than I. I was fine with this because at least I wouldn't have to deal with the general manager breathing down my throat, as she had a habit of treating me like I was an idiot, a thief, or a freak (I can not tell you how many times she made fun of my clothes or called me a weirdo because I'm not very talkative). There was even an instance where she called me a gossiping sinner (exact words) because I told another cafe girl (who needed to know because it was her problem too) how the new girl had messed up the slushy machine and how to fix it. I was eventually canned because it seems I took off 3 sickdays this year without doctor's excuses (one was a CAR CRASH) she had been literally counting every minute I was late for months (along with watching me run register from behind shelves and checking my sales on the store computer to make sure I wasn't giving people free coffees or something idk, I wasn't) and said that I was unreliable. Also I was bad at selling the discount cards but instead of having me run bookstore like she did with other people who were bad at selling cards in cafe, she just super cut my hours so my fulltime status was destroyed. Sadly the thing she said that hurt me the most was that she thought I was spiteful (because I'm quiet and don't like ass-kissing) and not as good at my job as I thought I was. First of all, I might have not been a ray of sunshine, but I tried to be nice and polite to everyone I came in contact with and help them to the best of my advantage. be it running to the store for a co-worker or just sitting and listening to one of our millions of old people who came in for company. I tried to be Disney-sweet to the doucheiest of douche bags and made sure everything was super clean and fresh in that cafe. And unlike her, I used gloves when handling food instead of just USING YOUR HANDS TOUCHING THE FOOD GOOD GOD RAGERAGERAGE RED LANTERN POWERS ACTIVATE.

TL;DR: when my old boss left, my new boss hated me and fired me for trivial shit. baawww and rage.

now I have no job. I will probably be filing for unemployment tomorrow. I live with my parents so I'm not out of a home or anything but we're not a very well off family so I'm gonna miss helping out money-wise. But everyone don't worry about me, at least she didn't fire me on my birthday (close though, if she would have waited just 10 more days to drop the ax it would have been the worst) also, a really cool thing happened.

THE AWESOME:

See, when I got home all sad last night we found a tiny black kitten in our driveway. upon closer inspection his face was just ruined, his front legs were rubbed raw of fur, his right eye was popping out of it's socket, the left was glued closed, and his entire face was covered in horrible pus. he was so skinny he didn't even have a fat kitten belly.

he was as sweet as apple pie. didn't bite or scratch or run away or anything. all purrs. we immediately loved him.

we put him in a box and started to call around to see if anyone would see him so late, everything was closed. He took a nap on a blanket while we tried to keep our girl cat from trying to clean him herself.

even though we were already thinking up names for him (I wanted to name him Jonah Hex IT IS PERFECT), my father said that with 3 pets already an me just losing my job that it would be impossible to get him the care he needed and that we couldn't keep him. So my sisters and I started calling around to see if anyone could board him for the night.

well it just so happened that one of my littlest sister's friends is a cat lady in the body of a 16 year old boy and when she put a bulletin on Facebook about the kitty he said he'd take him. When she arrived at his house with the kitten however she got a real shock when some of the people we had called and everyone in our neighborhood with facebook showed up with food, blankets, toys, and even a cat house for the little guy(she said she cried like crazy when this happened). To top that, his new foster family fell in love with the him, crazy face and all, and he will now be living the high life as the rich kitty of a theater family :D

also they cleaned off his face and the other eye is just fine. The popped out one will have to be removed though :c

His new name is Phantom, because they were watching Phantom of the Opera when my sister got there and when they put him on the floor they noticed that he strutted and meowed right along with the phantom's parts :D

SUCH A FREAKING CHARMING KITTY.

Also, they found a program in town called The Noah Project, that fixes up any stray you find for free if you promise to adopt it afterward :DDDD

and this all happened in 4 hours. his life went from horrible to full of love and happiness in 4 hours.

I gotta tell you, it gave me a lot of hope for myself.

I think I'm gonna put commission prices up real soon. I feel like getting back in the saddle.

I didn't think I'd feel this sad to lose a crappy job.

4 spots open guys, ask me to doodle you up something! can be your character or just something awesome in general COME ON!

I feel like I should be drawing but I don't know what to draw help.



also, for your half of the trade just pick one of my characters out of my gallery and have at it. I'm not picky. batman, niteowl, or spock being cute/retarded is also acceptable. I love that nerdy shit. but anyway:

1. bloodhound (done)
2. Rasasha (done)
3. lorelli (done)
4. blade (done)
5. SirTrips (done)

edit: OK TEN SPOTS GEEZE! so many cool people answered omg I only put 4 because I didn't think anyone was up 10 SPOTS NOW BBS. they won't be done tonight but that should be more than enough to get me through the next two days :D


HOLY CATS EDIT: I didn't think so many people would chime in so fast but all spots are full!! I went on who answered with a definite yes the fastest so if you asked but didn't answer when I said yes, I'm sorry but you're out of the running :c next time I do trades I'll look back at this journal to see who answered and ask those people first okay?

how neat is this?

yaaaaaaaay.

I was finally able to draw something today without wanting to shoot myself or throwing it away :D good times. sometimes doodling until your hand screams really is the answer c:

all commissions should be done by Halloween if the creative mojo keeps working and I can decide on what kind of zombie to be. also if I can get my crappy computer to stop overheating and shutting off if I leave in on for too long (the little rubber legs that sit on the bottom have melted off and the stickers on the keyboard are too :c ).

now if work would just stop making me hate myself and the insomnia would go away I would be golden.

commissions to be done:

cutesy-poos:
 pucacorgi
 grimmorph

keychains:
 samiji


you guys who've been waiting, you're sweethearts. for serious c: I'm gonna try to find time to open more commission spots (and do some traaaaaades so look out for that). gonna dump some sketches now and get back to those commissions.

with all these goddam art blocks.

finally got kinda caught up with commissions after not being able to draw ANYTHING for a month. shit sucked. It's like there was something wrong with my hand, like the signals from my brain were just not doing it and I've wasted so much paper my god.

I am going try to doodle a little before bed and then prepare to tackle the rest of these commissions. I can't afford to throw out another piece of bristol board, that crap costs money.

commissions as they stand now:

 pucacorgi (one totally rocking picture which has already bee trashed 5 times)

 Grimmorph (a cutsie-poo sketch but I only trashed this one twice. I'm making progess!)

hey dudes and dudettes I will be going to AWA this weekend (hence why I haven't been on I've been super busy with disaster and money problems) so I'm just gonna list off commissions that probably won't by done/posted before I go so you guys know whats up with your stuff. I don't want you to feel like I skipped out on you since you've all just been super nice to me by commissioning me (the commission money by the way has gone to a surprise emergency involving a friend who needed a bus ticket to make it to a funeral. if I had not had such an overwhelming response for commissions she would be seriously up shit creek right now and I wouldn't be able to go to AWA so THANK YOU NICE WEIRDOS). I'm gonna leave commission stuff up with open spots as I will be taking commissions once I return home.if you would like something, please note me as I will try my hardest to find time before I leave and after the convention (I leave on thursday morning and come back monday morning) to put you on the list. I might not have internet there though so please understand if I don't get back to you in a timely manner. BUT ANYWHO:

jump on it kids.

okay I'm back now. I had to deal with some family stuff (reunions, money, ect.) and internet was kinda low on the priority list. needless to say I've been running around like crazy doing designs for t-shirts (success!), trying to save my books from floods (all my Tezuka is a little bit ruined D: CURSE YOU WINDOW AIR CONDITIONING UNIT), and monitoring my dog's pee for giant terrible kidney stones (lots of bloody pee all over my hands as I try to put it in the little vial so the vet can tell me 'OH THERE SEEMS TO BE BLOOD IN THIS BLOODY URINE THAT YOU TOLD US ABOUT AND SHOWED US ALREADY GOOD THING WE MADE YOU FOLLOW YOUR DOG AROUND LIKE A GIANT CREEPER WAITING FOR HER TO PEE SO WE COULD DO THIS ALL AGAIN FOR THE SAME RESULTS AS THE LAST TWO TIMES :D ALSO IT'S GREAT THAT THE ONE TIME SHE STAYED STILL ENOUGH FOR YOU TO GET A SAMPLE YOU FORGOT THE GLOVES LOL').

seriously, every time I tried to get a sample Xena was all like "excuse me WTF are you doing?!" and ran away.

at least she won't need surgery. she just gets a peanut butter blob of pills twice a day.

she has no objection to this.

ADVENTURE.


so what's up with you guys?

sorry for everyone commenting and watching and whatnot over the past few weeks. My internet has been spazzing and the little time I could get on I used to get those commissions out. We found the problem (kitty teeth prints on very important wires D:) and it's fixed now.

woooo.

now to get back to art. and my backed up mail.

EDIT: holy crap tiny cutesy bat on my driveway oh god!

we think it got hit by a firework. Before we could call animal control it had escaped from it's box and wandered away somewhere. He looked okay, but he had a wobbly wing so I'm worried :c

I'm having some severe internet problems guys. That, combined with the heavy flow of commissions and real life work stuff is making things a little rough right now so I'm not accepting ANY MORE COMMISSIONS right now. as of right now I have in the line up:
