I've been drawing on paper at a library for a while, and it's about time I upload those things.

I'm also going to be uploading some digital artwork from the past year, including some stuff completed last summer.

I apologize for the commission delays. I'm still working on commissions and will try my hardest to at least have WIPs for everyone by the listed days in http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7969283/ , but I've run into some serious problems.

As you guys can see from that journal, on Dec 22nd, a severe family emergency went down that resulted in my grandmother being arrested for domestic assault.

The stress of that coupled with my usual emotional instability and likely depression (as anyone who knows me can attest to) that my doctor prescribed me Prozac.

I have had a -horrible- reaction to prozac, running from general nervousness and twitching of my right lower eyelid all the way through to panic attacks, body temperature swings, nausea, and my heart feels like I'm running a marathon. I've already spoken with the doctor, he's taken me off the medication for now and I'm going back tomorrow for followup evaluation to see if I'm doing better.

I apologize for the delays this will cause with my commissions. >_<

This is the official list of people who I'm focusing on the commissions for and when I'm focusing. If your name is not on the list but you have a commission, lemme know. If your name is on the list, please do not prod me for status updates until the day your name is listed.

People who've expressed interest in commissions but haven't paid or who haven't indicated when they will pay will be taken care of in late Febuary or March.

This is just a rough guide. I plan on working on commissions on other days of the week too, it's just gonna be limited due to less free time on the other days of the week, and based on what interests me. I plan on also continuing to draw things for myself and for other people.

Sequences likely won't be completed on the listed day, but that's the latest you should expect a WIP by. If you don't see a WIP by the date listed in this journal, poke me immediately.

Sketch commissions will remain open during this time. Colored image commissions will be put at the end of the list. No further sequences will be accepted at this time (unless I really like the idea). I will be posting up a new batch of YCH commissions in February.

**Addendum: Because a lot of these are sequences, my goal is two panels per day, and finishing up whatever wasn't done before the next commission date. So on days where I'm just doing one sketch, I might knock out two commissions.

***Addendum II: A family emergency on 12/22/16 has forced me to shift everyone back a day. I apologize.

****Addendum III: The family emergency is ongoing. Progress on commissions is slow.

Hey, I'll be under the name Ovni in Artist Alley at MFF today doing sketches and stuff!

The YCH auctions are now closed (except for the painting one). If you bid, I'll be responding to your comments shortly asking you to send a note with the details you want!

If someone who made a winning bid declines or doesn't note me back by 12/15/16, it'll go to the next highest bidder.

Still having money issues. I had just about got everything settled down enough that I could go to MFF in a week, but tonight my car's alternator has gone out.

I've got enough money to cover expenses for the car, or I have enough to go to MFF, but not both. SO. Commissions are still open, and I've put a painting I've been working on up for auction as a YCH Auction. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21806157/

I'm expecting to have all commissions from 2016 done and finished by March 1st, 2017, assuming my house doesn't collapse and crush me or something. The YCH painting will be done before Janurary 15th.

I don't want to sound desperate, but this just keeps happening, with unexpected expenses and shit popping up every other week. I really want to get enough together to go to MFF.

Commission information is at http://quartz-poker.tumblr.com/commissions

I have had a severe episode of allergies and migraines in September which knocked me out of working most of that month.

So I had no income in September, I had my usual expenses (rent, insurance, etc), and now I’ve got medical bills. I’ve already eaten through what little savings I had and I’m still 600$ short. I’m back to working, but work’s pay schedule means I won’t see anything I earn for a couple weeks.

I know I’ve been really slow with commissions, and I have several I already need to finish, but I don’t know what else to do. I’m going to re-open commissions. http://quartz-poker.tumblr.com/commissions is my information for commission pricing. I plan on working on commissions every Wednesday and Thursday, as those are my days off from work.

If anyone has any ideas for what else I could do for money, I’d appreciate it. Donations are also welcome.

Hallo all!

Tomorrow marks the 11th anniversary of the first time I drew Ovni. Since I basically completely forgot last year for his 10th anniversary, I plan on making up for that this year.

However, since I'm working full time, I won't have a whole bunch of stuff to post that day specifically. I got a couple things I can post but several more that are still just in-the-works.

As a result, my plan is to post something every day this week related to Ovni, Ovnees, Ovni Milk, etc. And I have not forgotten about the other people who supported Ovni Day in the past, so I will be working on something for you guys too, although that thing will probably not be done until next week.

It's my birthday! Woo! I'm officially 27 years old.

Not sure what I'm going to do for my birthday. o~o

I didn't get much done for Stitch Day. Turns out not drawing for a while means I've gotten very slow at it and was only able to do just 3 drawings and half a drawing of Swapper. I was, however, introduced to a cutie called Dark End from the anime, and I will definitely be drawing him or her later.

It’s Stitch Day! To celebrate Ima practice my drawing by doing a bunch of quick doodles. Doodlequicks, as I call them.

If you have a fan experiment or just a favorite experiment from Lilo and Stitch, send in a ref and a suggestion for a quick doodle.

Can be SFW or NSFW, but keep in mind these are only doodles, not giant masterpieces. Limit 1 per customer. I probably won’t get to all of them either, but I’ll try. :D

Also, still my birthday tomorrow. Oh god I'm going to be 27. I don't want to be old. ;-;

I have a 5 day vacation coming up centered on my birthday, June 27th, so I plan to have plenty of art done over that vacation!

In unrelated news I came down with Tonsillitis this week. Already got medicine for it and I expect to make a full recovery without any surgery.

EDIT: Oh, just had an idea! If anybody reads this journal- Suggest a drawing or two you'd like to see me redo over my vacation! I'd love to see what people would like to see more of from me, and I feel like this would be a good way to judge that. :3

You may remember this guy. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17537771/

A few of you were eagle-eyed enough to notice that the title contained "#1" in it. That's because I'm designing more! I hope to have a couple done tonight to post.

And as it is, some of these might be adoptable?

No one bothered to read and see what I was asking for when it came to suggestions, not one person gave a complete and proper suggestion, so just forget it.

I wanted to draw experiments again but I don't have any ideas and no one has been able to give me a proper suggestion. Did people forget how to think critically, type in paragraphs, and convey information quickly and effectively? Did people forget how to read? I listed exactly what I wanted in the journal, but every post was missing one or more of the four things I wanted: Who, what, how, and references (if applicable). And several completely missed the fact these were only going to be doodles, two characters max. Warmup doodles, that's all these were going to be. Did people stop reading after the first sentence?

I have decided I will be making a mod for an Ovnee civilization!

The issue I face right now is whether to use the in-game editor (powerful but limited) or to go and make a full scale mod with XML (much more powerful, but there are basically ZERO guides that I can find which tell me what options to tweak and how to tweak and stuff).

I expect this project will be slow going. I'll start with the in-game editor, get the basics going, and then expand from there I think.

If anyone can find a guide to using the XML method I'd greatly appreciate it. @_@

EDIT: I cannot find ANY tutorial for the XML method. Everyone who uses it just says "Copy, paste, edit", they don't make any guides or say what to edit or which values you can use. I don't have time to go through every line of code one by one to figure out which references which, so I will be using the in-game faction editor only.

Hey guys, long time no talk.

I have a question. I've been trying to find some art and some stories from Furaffinity, Yiffstar, Sofurry, etc that the artists deleted in hissy fits or deleted when they moved to Weasyl and then never bothered to re-post on Weasyl.

Unfortunately, Sofurry and FA have both added anti-archive scripting so things like the Internet Archive are unable to help me.

Are there any other resources I should be trying?

Ok guys, calling all Ovnees.

If you have a character who is or ever has been an Ovnee, comment here with a reference to that character's color scheme, or type up a paragraph of what that character looked like as an Ovnee (particularly the colors).

I'm making a chart of different Ovnees to use for future Ovni Milk stuff and wanna have all this stuff on one official chart. :D

It's been months since I've uploaded stuff here.

It's not that I've been too busy to art or anything. I just took a break from this site, I guess.

Anyways, I have a crapton of stuff to upload, so over the next few days you'll probably see some stuff here!

If you've been following my Tumblrs you've seen 99.5% of it already, and if you haven't been following my tumblrs, shame on you! Shaaaaaaame.

So it turns out FA has added a new art category for MLP/Brony art so it doesn't have to clog up the other sections (like they added for Digimon, Pokemon, and Sonic art).

With the exception of fetish-centric art like transformation or bondage, I'll probably move all my MLP:FiM fanart to that section in the coming week or so.

The temporary labor place I signed up with offered me work in Hopkinsville for Tuesday and Wednesday, so I have to move the streams to another time. Please contact me about when would work well for you.

Ok, the stories are in and the judging is over! Lets find out who won!

Third Place: Morganling! You've won a one-hour stream!

Second Place: Tannim! You've won a two-hour stream!

And first place: A collaboration between Mirua and Kale-Locke! You've won a four-hour stream!

Please notify me of several potential dates and times you would be available for your stream. Please include your timezone as well so I can make the proper schedule adjustments, and please be present and attentive during your streams- I don't like having to ask a question more than twice before getting answers. :C

This contest sponsored by Ovni Milk. Ovni Milk, A Taste of the Alien, and spatial coordinates 3 Feet To the Left are all not trademarked, but they would be if Ovni Milk was real.

Thank you for participating!

Update:

I will be judging the stories tomorrow after I get off from work sometime around 1 PM Central. Please try to have all updates, corrections, and final versions in by then.

Also, happy Friday the Fourteenth! I wish you all neutral luck in all things.

So, long break was long. I drew a few things and posted them on my Tumblr account, but for the most part I took a long break from FA because of school. This was my last semester, and I really needed to buckle down. For a little while I wasn't even doodling at all.

It all paid off though. I'm proud to announce I have GRADUATED! I have a Bachelor's of Science in Geology now. So excited. <3

Anyways, art flood incoming!

Ok, I'm just making sure of this because I want to have everything done in the next couple of weeks.

If you won the kiriban (I had like eight winners because of how slow FA is to update viewpage numbers) or got a commission from me and have paid, please send me a note with the details. If you want to change some details, that's fine.

I just need an update because I'm cleaning my notes inbox and I might accidentally delete something important.

Ok, just got informed I'm only a few views away from 60,000 Views. Like, uh, about a hundred away.

Just wanna get this detail up in time so everyone can see it:

I'm gonna have a 60,000 View Kiriban Thingamajigger.

If you capture my 60,000th view, you get a colored picture of your choice of subject matter- well, within my usual restrictions on stuff (I'm great with experiments and ponies, only marginally good at anthros, and absolutely horrible with humans).

Since FA's system only registers unique views, that means multiple people will get the view thing. So, to make it a little fair when it comes to accounting to that, I'm only accepting the very first view thing I get for the colored picture. I will, however, offer a free sketch to the second and third captures of the 60,000 number (or whatever number comes next, in the off chance only one person captures 60,000).

EDIT: This is now closed, I hit the 60,000 views.

I decided, since FA's system IS broken, that everyone who informed me they got a screenshot (minus the fake one Flygon submitted to demonstrate photoshopping is an issue) gets a sketch (cept for the first guy, he gets a colored picture.)

EDIT EDIT: Due to numerous people cropping their pictures so I couldn't see the minute the screenshot was taken at, I'm really confused, and one person has already dropped out. I'm going to have to go with earliest visible timestamp for first prize: Zyuma.

So...this is a bit of a downer, I know.

I haven't shown a stream in a while. The reason is, Join.me is the only streaming program I'm comfortable with...and they capped their free streaming service to just nine viewers per stream (plus the guy streaming it for a total of ten viewers).

I suppose I could still try to stream, but I know that normally closer to 20 or 30 people would be interested when I do. So that's why I haven't advertised any streams here on FA recently.

Does anyone know of any streaming service that uses a system like Join.me (NOT Livestream/Justin.TV) but has a higher viewer cap?
