Hey all so you may or may not have heard via my streams and things but I am going to be flying out of town from the 31st of August to the 12th of September. I will have very little to no internet access while I am gone and when I get back I probably will not be actively around for a little while. I wanted to make a post to just say that so no one goes 'Woah where are you' if you need anything haha!

That said I also wanted to post that I have quite the backlog and I am going to be working on catching up while out of town. Here's a list of people I still gotta do things for (thank you all SO much for having crazy patience). If you have something and are not listed below let me know and I can add you to the list (I didn't dig in my folders too hard so it's possible haha);
- YCH, - Painting, - 2 paintings, & - Book commissions, - 2 paintings, - Painting & - Painting.

Also not included above are things I need to mail out which are going to all be taken with me home and mailed out in a big batch so if you were waiting for something keep an eye on your notes because I'll send stuff out when they're on their way!

However, since I'm going to be away a bit I am also cool with taking on a few additional paintings or such if you wanted a thing while I was away? I would be happy to do one or two more with the understanding I'll get it to you the second I get back from the trip! Gotta keep busy without internet somehow! If you're interested in snagging something feel free to note me or leave a comment below and I can get back to you and sort things out!

Anyway, I'll be streaming the next couple of days to make a huge rush for rent payments before flying out so any commissions are GREATLY appreciated ;u;

Thank you all! Hopefully will be all caught up by the time I get back

Hi there so I figured I would make like a commission mega post!

First off I have some backlog commissions and I am sorry some of you have been waiting awhile. I am working on them while I can and will be working on getting them to you soon. As far as regular commissions like that go I will no longer be accepting them into the near future. I tend to get all worked up sometimes and it makes it take me awhile. I want to catch up on what I have and I also realized that I don't want to risk making people wait for commissions which leads me on to the next part;

I will however be accepting stream commissions regularly. I have the stream schedule now (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15690790/) and I am having a blast sticking to it! I want to start taking commissions primarily through here so that they are done within the day. I really enjoy doing them and I think it's a fun way to get feedback as I go -- it helps to make sure I stay on track and the piece is how commissioners want! However, I am okay with accepting stream slots even if you can't show up. I would be able to do them in stream and get it to you right after!

Lastly, I started a collab commission account with the amazing . Our new account is here; . We will be taking collab commissions which are a huge blast. We will have varying types offered down the line so keep an eye on it if you like our work and want to see us collab some more!

As an aside I am currently apartment hunting in Portland and it suuuuuucks. If any of you live in the area and have leads - I would love to hear them asap! :)

Hi guys, I'm super happy to be back home and working through things again now while trying to sort everything else out. I just wanted to give a huge thank you to those who have asked for commissions or said nice things after the last journal.

That said, I'm just looking forward to being more active here honestly. I am going to be trying to stream more regularly between projects and stuff so expect lots more stream commissions. It's time for me to take commissioning a lot more seriously and stuff now that I finally have more time so I am just excited to work towards that! Speaking of stream commissions I am getting together a little queue to work through each time I stream. They'll be in the recent sketchy style that I've been posting - they're 10$. They're really helpful at getting me to warm-up each morning! :) I am working through the current queue of paint commissions and I'm technically accepting more but I'll make a post soon announcing price breakdowns and stuff.

Also, I am planning ahead a bit and thinking I might go to a con or two. My main goals are Furlandia which is a pretty much sure-thing and then I am planning on Rainfurrest as well since it isn't so far away. I'll announce more about that stuff later as it gets closer but I'm super excited and happy to be considering that.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey there everyone. I wanted to post just to give a little update on stuff since I might not get to for a bit.
So, I guess I just wanted to say that 2014 is rough. Really rough. I feel like I've been back and forth all year. As I posted in my recent stuff - I am currently out of town visiting family where I grew up and I'm flying back today. I've kinda been depressed a lot lately for a lot of personal reasons and getting back home isn't really helping.

Ideally, I came home to try and relax for a few weeks but it stressed me out in other ways that I didn't expect but now that I am getting close to going back home it's just getting much, much worse. When I get back to my pace in Portland there is a good chance I won't have internet and possibly electricity for awhile. On top of that they raised the rent at my current place by 100$ as well as they announced they are evicting non-students in January and I am not a student. The second I get back I have to hunt down a new apartment that it feels like I'm never going to manage making work.

Anyway, that's all besides the point - getting back I was looking forward to devoting my time to commissions with fresh eyes and a fresh mind but instead this throws a huge kink in my plans. Instead of me being able to do commissions through streams and stuff - I now have to do them remotely and they are much more of a necessity. The only internet access I will have tonight onward for however long will be through my phone, this means I definitely won't be able to post and I won't be able to reply as quickly as I wanted. But, if anything this just means I need to open up commissions more and dedicate myself to them entirely. There's really no better motivation than necessity.

I'm sorry if I can't reply immediately but I will be devoting everything I have to those commissions inquiries that I've had piling up. There are a few of you waiting for things or in the queue and so I'll be working on those ASAP when I get back. But, I wanted to open up for more as well while I am at home. Now, I know I won't be able to reply to them as quickly as I would like and I don't want these to pile up so I will work through them as quickly as I can, but because I know I won't be around as often and I don't want anyone waiting - I won't be accepting payment through Paypal until after I get you the finished piece. I am hoping I will work quick, until I get internet back and housing stuff figured out I won't be able to eat really so maybe that'll be a double-good motivator.

Point is; I am looking to open commissions with no payment until after I get it to you, but please understand if it takes awhile to get it to you.

Prices:
Full paintings (Background, 1-3 characters) - 45-50$ [http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13859171/]
Single Character (No background) - 25$ [http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13859128/]
Sketch (Simple Black/White value/Shading) - 20$ [http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13858994/]

If you're interested in one please leave a comment here or send me a note. I will put [CLOSED] in the title when I am done .

I'm sorry for the stupid sob story and the giant paragraph, I just kind of need to vent sometimes.

[//closed now - thanks so much for those who got the spots - you're all my heroes!]

Hi there, I still have a little to catch up on but I really need to take on a few extra pieces @_@ I'm offering fully painted pieces for 45$ via paypal - due to circumstances I would need to accept payment beforehand though (hopefully not an issue)

Anyway, if you are interested reply here or note me, only going to have 2-3 slots open. I might not get back immediately since I have to use my phone at the moment, but I'll be trying my best to refresh every few minutes.

Hi there, sorry for the delay this past week — I had family come and visit for 2 weeks and then I had to attend the Illustration Conference (I got to meet and exchange cards with so many of my heroes!!) but unfortunately two days ago my monitor started dying and is now pretty much dead. If anyone is good with electronics and if there might be a fix I would love to know because losing it is completely crippling for my process.

Some info/the issue; I have an HP L2245wg (the one with the swivel stuff if it matters) and the screen started doing a flickering towards the top and then it just cuts out to black. If I restart the monitor it stays on for about 10-30 seconds and then does the same again. If I use a flashlight on it I can still see the icons and text displayed so my guess is that it is a backlight issue but I'm honestly not super well-versed on the technical side of these so if anyone can offer some insight — I would love to hear. If I have to get a new one that sucks super bad but it is what it is I guess. If so, expect some more commission slots to open up after I complete this round.

Hey all!

So I'm finally back on here and hope to use this semi-regularly again & excuse the amount of new submissions that are incoming!

Anyway this whole first half of the year has been an absolute mess, I started at a new school and it ate up all of my time. It was surprising just how much more intensive this has been. I literally spent every waking moment working on things. It kind of killed any good communicative habits that I had and I kind of just fell off the face of the earth for awhile.

Anyway I apologize to any of you who had commissioned me and waited on things. I probably can't apologize enough for the wait but I think I'm close to caught up now. As far as I know I have sent out notes to nearly everyone waiting with the exception of Kabi, rut.de.leu & Dandy.lion who are still waiting. Those three currently have a high priority and are pretty much all I'm going to be focusing on until I can get these all scanned and sent out ASAP! (The wait isn't so long now, guys!). But if you do have something you're waiting on from me please, please send me a message and I will send you the piece. In my book they're all done so it'll just be a matter of re-finding the links!

In lieu of this hectic bit of time though I have learned a lot haha. I made a huge mistake by taking on 50+ commissions at one time, I mean that list grew real long and beyond working on things - it made being on top of communication a real issue (definitely never doing that again haha).

Anyway, I'm glad to be back. After I completely clear my conscience of any outstanding debts I would love to get back to doing stream commissions and fun stuff like that. Hopefully I can set up something like that again soon.

Cheers!

[EDIT: I've been trying to do more with Youtube lately (painting timelapses and such) but if you make music and want me to feature some in any upcoming videos let me know and I would be happy to!

Hey there everyone, I haven't been here in a while and I am a dumb person.

A whole lot of stress has been happening in my life lately, I was in the process of switching schools for next term when my current school majorly screwed me over and now I'm kind of having a hectic rush to figure out something that can work while dealing with finals this week.

I see I have a few notes in my box that I will be answering soon - I am also working on finishing up these few commissions. If you're one of the few still waiting I haven't forgotten about you, I promise! The outstanding commissions have been through several iterations by this point and I will be working on getting them all done and out during this break. I will also be sending out things this break physically in the mail if you are one of the few waiting on this.

I have tons of art to upload on here sometime soon to catch up but first I have to figure out all these outside stresses and hopefully find something that will work out.

Hope you're all doing well and I'm extremely sorry for the lapse in communication with this site. I'm a dumb person.

Hi there all so yesterday or the day before I sent out a massive amount of notes with commissions attached - there are only four people left that I have yet to send things out to and 2 of your I have spoken with already - I will be completing the last few and sending them out this week as well as making alterations to past ones and getting those back as well.

I got a note on Tumblr about someone not receiving anything and if for some reason the system messed up or something and you didn't receive your commission yet - let me know! On my end it appears as though I have replied to every comment & note dealing with commissions but if something messed up I can get that fixed and sent to you ASAP.

Hopefully all is going well for everyone out there! Just wanted to make sure all the pieces get to whom they're supposed to get to!

Hi there so I planned to have all commission done and out by the end of August but then it became finals time and I got super engulfed in work these past few weeks. I have my finals all this Wednesday and after that I will be totally free to work. I'm super sorry it has taken such a long while, most of the current commissions are really close to done with just some minor refinement and textures required. Anyway, after finals I think I'm going to aim for a stream on Thursday and finish up a good majority of them then. Thanks for being so patient guys, can't wait to start doing some major updates!

Hi there everyone, so I am not closing the discount commissions as there are quite a few of them and I'm working hard on finishing them as fast as I can! However, I am still open to receive regular commissions!

As for plans after I have completed all the commissions I currently have as well as mailing out things that are over due I wanted to start thinking of some new ideas. I'm taking a printmaking & bookmaking class this term and I have been wanting to use things I've learning in there a whole lot!

Anyway, essentially for fun and practice I began making little books, just simple softcover ones that are about 6'' X 9'' and have around 12 pages though I could add or subtract some. I could also do hardcover but it is a bit more work and I am a lazy person so less is more. Essentially I would make the book, fill it with sketches to your specifications and then send it to you.

I just wanted to see if there would be interest here at all, they might be a little pricey around 100$ give or take so it'd be a bit of niche thing though I would have a lot of fun practicing on these little ones.

Here's a few little images from the one I currently have;

http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2.....da-d6j1siz.jpg
http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2.....da-d6j1sj8.jpg

Like I said though I want to complete all commissions I have now as well as getting some of the older things mailed out, I'm going to try and work pretty quick though this next week so who knows? Would there be any interest for these at all?

Hi there so at the moment I am currently working on everyone's commissions and am working hard to get them done and to you very soon! I think tomorrow I might try and stream some of it so that way I can stay on task haha! I have all of them drawn and scanned and now it is just a matter of adding some stuff in digitally.

Anyway, I also wanted to post this with the idea of taking on an NSFW commission now or in the future, I'd only take on one of them though if anyone would be interested and it would also not be discounted like the other things I have been offering so ultimately it would probably be around 50-60$. If anyone would be interested in something like that feel free to comment or note me about it and I will get back to you when I can.

Just wanted to give an update of sorts since it has been awhile, hope to get all this work to you guys really soon!

Hi there everyone so I'm still available to do these, prices here; http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11192285/

I'm just short of my rent which is due in 2 days so if you help out it would be super appreciated! I only need about 40$ left so like two digital paintings would bring me to my goal and any extra can go toward food cause I'm kind of sick of eating noodles and rice haha.

Anyway, if you want one feel free to comment here or on the price sheet or note me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

As far as the in process ones go - I have everything sketched and scanned thus far and now I'm just putting color and finishing touches on them before sending them to you guys so it should be soon (after school work!).

Thanks a bunch!

So, I'll be offering the discount commissions for a little bit until I say otherwise (I need money for bills and things so it might be a bit)

but yeah! and I figured I'd offer a few more options as well;

5$ Pencil sketch - no color, just characters in pencil on paper! (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9889040/)

10$ Light Color Pencil sketch (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11080379/)

20$ Digital painting (I probably won't offer it again this low for a long while.) (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11073376/)

If you are interested please comment below or note me and we can get something set up. I have a few commissions to finish up but as soon as I am done I'll be working hard on these if anyone wants them!

Thanks a bunch for looking.

Oh man, I kinda need some cash for food and stuff so I was thinking of taking on some discounted stream commissions. These would be all traditional sketches with possible light coloring [This sort of block colors; http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9810561/ ].

I would be streaming later tonight/tomorrow/whenever and they would only be 10$ per sketch. If you're interested in getting a spot comment below and I should be able to take it on unless I get totally swamped haha! I promise I will work very hard on it for you on the stream and also be very thankful!

Hi there, I figured I'd post this on here too - if anyone is looking to sell an intuos 4 or 5 medium or larger please send me a message or something - I am looking to upgrade from my Bamboo FUN because it is tiny and a suck. Okay maybe not a suck because I am used to it and it works fine but I know that a larger tablet would be way better for my hands.

Also, I contacted many of the commissioners already but I figured I post this here too - I am not going to be posting much this week as I got contracted by an animation company to do some last minute illustrations for an upcoming TV show (Hooray!!) and also it is finals week and I am totally swamped with way more work than I can handle. Updates and art will resume this weekend after some Animal Crossing recuperation haha!

Hey there everyone, first off I want to give a huuuuge thank you to everyone who participated and gave me such lovely comments. After putting things through the randomizer the winners are;

 jessi-neon
 lupus-crinitus

Seriously, thank everyone again for helping getting the word out. I'm still open for commissions and really could use them as I'm running low on cash for bills and food and everything - if you're interested feel free to comment or note me with details. :)

I'll have to do another raffle sometime off in the future, thanks again for participating!

-Cheers!

Hey there all, so I'm going to do another raffle thing (it's been nearly a year since the last time!). Anyway I'll be awarding two people with full digital paint illustrations of their characters - all you have to do is post a journal promoting this raffle by linking to this journal or whatever and put a link in the comments and you will be entered. I'll be closing the raffle on Tuesday, June 4th and be putting all the people who enter into a random generator and the top two names on there win.

----

Also! If you don't feel like risking the raffle and would rather just pay me to do something for you - feel free to commission me, I'm still open for them and stuff, info is here; http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10513167/ and I'm also open for stream commissions at the moment and could stream something for you at any time.

Anyway, yeah, feel free to enter this thing if you are interested in it!

Hey there so I posted an updated commission sheet a few days ago; http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10513167/ but I figured I'd say it in a journal as well but I am currently open for commission stuff.

And also I'm still open for doing stream commissions too for today (give me something to do besides homework please haha!)

Also, does anyone happen to know much about Somalian pirates? (related to the homework I have)

Alright so I'm closing discount commissions now but I'll still be open for regular priced commissions if anyone is interested. Anyone who contacted me prior to posting this - you'll still be getting discount prices no worries.

Also for this past term in class we had to fill up a sketchbook and I'm going to be fleshing out a few of the pages that aren't so great and I'll be trying to auction that off on here really shortly so if you're interested in getting a filled sketchbook from me - keep your eye out for it!

Hi there, so I'm going to be offering discount commissions for a limited time the options here are as follows;

5$ - Sketch (pencil or pen) (Examples; 1 , 2)
20$ - Digital Painting (Examples; 1 , 2)
10$ - Costume Design Sketch (Examples; 1 , 2)
25$ - Painting/Mixed Media (Examples; 1 , 2)

Thanks so much for looking - if you have any questions or are interested feel free to comment, note me or send me an email at JMFenner91[at]gmail.com ! I accept payments through paypal.

Hey I figured I'd just give a heads up that I am moving tomorrow and won't have internet for a few days. It should be an easy move though - only moving one floor down in my apartment building haha!

Also I think after the move is completed I'll probably be opening up for a few more commissions and stuff so, uh, yeah! If anyone would be interested in that (?)

Also I have a Twitter now where I update on dumb things every now and then so check it out if you're into that sort of thing; https://twitter.com/JMFenner91

Hi there I've been back home for about a week now, hooray! Super fun time but the main portion of this journal was to say I'm looking to get some extra cash before next month and I figured I would be doing some gimmicky commission things. For this you pay 10$ for a sketch and 25$ for painting of any kind and you give me your character(s) and/or an idea and I will do it as normal but you will also be signing in for a day on which to receive it (this will keep me motivated and hopefully doing a piece each day or something!) I know I've been slow about this before so I wanted to do this and motivate myself to work even more haha!

Anyway the first day to sign up for is a few days from now but you can choose whatever day you wish haha.

1.20 - 1.21 - 1.22 - 1.23 - 1.24 - 1.25 - 1.26 - 1.27 - 1.28 - 1.29 - 1.30 - 2.1 - 2.2 - 2.3 - 2.4 - 2.5 - 2.6 - 2.7 - 2.8 - 2.9 - 2.10 (I will strike-through dates as they are taken!)

I know they probably won't all fill up but I figured I'd leave the options open anyway and I'll be super appreciative to anyone who does get one!

Feel free to leave me a note or something if you are interested! :)

Ahhh hey there everyone, I'm going to be flying home for a few weeks in about 7 hours so I figured I'd post about it and give a heads up that I probably won't be posting much this coming week or so. @_@ I think it'll be good for me to take this break though as I keep letting myself be a dumb and get overwhelmed when I don't need to be.

Plans for this Christmas;
-Draw (TONS)
-Chillout in some Michigan snow
-Chillout in Florida for a few days
-Triumphantly return to Oregon

See you all in January sometime!

Sorry this week I haven't been able to do much I swore and planned to finish commissions last weekend but I hurt my hand by tripping and punching a wall last Friday. Unfortunately I hurt my right hand doing that (I draw with that) and even moreso the part that hurts is my pinky meaning putting pressure on it kills right now so drawing is a bit of a painful thing :<

Anyway, I was just riding it out cause I didn't want to go to the doctors and I figured it would just go away but I think tomorrow I'm going to try and go get it looked at. Hopefully I didn't fracture anything and it's just like bruised or something. Until this subsides I am really sorry things aren't going to be moving as fast, just wanted to post a little public thing so you will all know why things are slow. :(
