I MOVED ACCOUNTS
Posted 8 years agoStuck in a rut
Posted 8 years agoFor the past year and a half, my art flow has basically ceased to exist. My partner, nephos has suggested I stop focusing on commissions for a while and work on things I want to. I suppose it's for the best really. I feel like I stopped improving a lot when I started doing commissions. Too focused on trying to do everything right and never experimenting anymore. (why waste the time and it come out like crap and have to redo the entire thing for someone, amiright?)
Anyway, with that being said, prepare to see lots of questionable techniques, poor anatomy, and tons of terrible practice sketches. Bye :T

Updates and leg pain lol
Posted 8 years agoStill working~
Things have been as hectic as ever, always hoping life with a 3 year old will calm down, but believe me that's wishful thinking!
Following completion of current queue, planning to open up a few more derpy comissions and discount my recent YCH's since there's been no interest.
Recently due to some changes changes in my partners schedule, I've been the one taking my daughter to preschool in the morning, which not only has been a hard shift to my usual schedule, I'm struggling physically. I can see her school from my house, about a 5 minute walk there.. but on my way home, my legs start burning. Like excruciating pain. Feels like fire ants living in my legs, it's pretty awful.
I thought I could power through it and repetition would make the pain fade over time, well it's been 3 weeks and not even the faintest sign of improvement, so considering going to the doctor to talk about it. I just really dread going to doctors. ahhh T_T
Anywho, that's my recent "in the life of sam" enjoy :p

About Me
Posted 9 years agoHi! My name is Sam. I'm a 26 year old self-taught artist living in Peoria, Arizona.
I'm basically powered 100% by coffee and junk food.
I've been dating Nephos since December 2012 ♥
thevoodoofrog & raccoon are my pets.
I'm the parent of a child currently experiencing the "terrible threes" so my work schedule can be a little chaotic at times.
Despite that, I really love to draw and am always striving to try and improve.. though, I suppose I'm a slow learner.
Art is my main source of income and I'm a stay at home parent. :D
My hobbies include gaming, reading, listening to music and drawing doodles that I always end up trashing.
What games do you play? World of Warcraft, Overwatch, FF XIV, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and the Sims.
What kind of music do you listen to? I listen to a lot of acoustic music. Some of my favorite musicians are Lior & Gotye
I originally signed up for furaffinity in 2009, despite my profile saying 2007.
I actually inherited this account from efimous with permission and some admin help. Thanks again!
