one day I hope to be able to do special effects like this *adoration <3<3* now isn't THAT realistic, awe-so-me, just had to be fair and share with you lot :D

Weeeell, I often get notes with ppl saying they like my art but-price is too high, which makes me feel bad D: Therefore I ask you-what would YOU be willing to pay for my latest submission http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5676869 as example? I am toying of the iron-artist-thing-idea with that style *yeah, I wanna buy my parents (who are the best in the world, ily, mom <3) an ipad for christmas-little early buuuuuut... you can't ever start planning too early haha^^* as it takes me about 1,5h-2h to complete an image with the circumstances I have atm.
You know, I admit, I AM a human catastrophe, there are days, I can hardly make myself get out of my bloody bed *depressions and due to that-I drink too much alcohol, will write about that in another journal someday^^* and-I need to do something between the big, time-consuming commissions I do to-cheer me up/keep me going^^ I know I sound like a nerd now but that's the way things are. I'd LOVE to be waaay more active around here but *yay, buts everywhere :c* I am a very shy person, I don't know what to say or how to communicate in a proper way plus I get embarassed really quickly for whatever reason ): I do not feel sorry for myself and I don't wanna play the drama-queen, haha, please don't get me wrong xD Just-want an opinion and let you lovely ppl know a little bit what is going on in my life behind the name-if you are interested that is^^

Muaaaah, I am off to bed now :3 please-let me know, that'd be great <3

Have a good day/night you guys and girls :D

Number 44 =D

*and cuz it was so much fun to do-I will do it again:*

And it is 32 ^o^

sooo, number 44 and 32, you are the victims for my style-testing ;3

Thank you all for joining, might be doing that again sometime^^

it is noon here in 15min, I will close the "put your ref in the pot" at 8 this evening and let random.org choose the winner straight away :D
just as a little reminder^^

Lol, the last weeks had been a little more crazy than usual, especially the last couple of days with Tango and me first in the bed and breakfast (they could save my beloved old car btw. I was so anxious that they might not be able to repair it) in our home. I totally love the big boy, he loves me-sounds like a happy end, IF he made an effort not to "hate" everybody else xD My girls know their ways around with dogs which is cool so they ignore his snarlings *sounds more like a purring actually* or tell him to just shut up. and up to now nothing has happened. to complete the madhouse, a few days ago one of my girls decided to rescue a bunch of 4 week old kittens.. so now there is a mad rottweiler, a devious pit, a workaholic bordercollie and 5 noisy babycats who I could eat cause they are SO cute <3 well, wouldn't want it any different :D
will upload a big bunch of art at the week-end so sorry if your inboxes get flooded^^"
huggs and kisses xxx

So well, I have this crush on Tango, the pretty dog somewhere in my gallery. And-I wanna take him home BUT *thinking I was aaaaall sensible n'stuff..* I decided to go see one of Germany's best and most famous dog trainers. Together with HIM *that great idea was mine...*. The shelter gave me permission and everything was fine, muzzle was put on him *I freaking hate those things...* dashed the dog in the car and flew off. She worked out a SERIOUS plan for him, strict rules, do's and dont's and so on. Sounds great, yes? Being all happy and satisfied, I *cough wanted* to drive back home. Now, you must know I never ever EVER drive anywhere that far without a)getting lost due to my navi or b)drama... Well, the bloody car broke down <3 Soooo now I am stuck in a little bed and breakfast, waiting for the special spare-parts for the car which the mechanic didn't have on stock aaaas-my car is sooo oooold xD I am sleeping in a little room-together with Tango who is to keep to a serious plan cuz he is "dangerous".
Now the serious part: he totally IS a danger to society, a killer it is proven! He might slobber you to death or kick you out of bed or knock you over as he is such a lap-dog, loves to jump in my arms... so much for that, he sleeps in the bed *which is not mine ^o^* with me, is totally addicted to huggs n' cuddles and-not a sign of aggression. He follows me everywhere-also in the shower which I find pretty funny as he is IN the shower xD I've totally and utterly fallen in love with him, noway ever he is going back to the shelter. As soon as we get home, I'll work out the contract with them so he can go home. Whenever my car will be working again that is x'D
Just-wanted to tell you that-sorry for typos but writing with an iphone is not thaaaat easy-at least not for me ;D
Hope you are doing well^^

I've been wondering-how can you guys actually see with a huge head sitting on yours?! I guess you are not running around blind haha^^ and-isn't it terribly hot in there?! and isn't the head heavy? how do you sit down? what do you do if you have to go to the bathroom <.<? AND-I've seen quad-suits, now how do they work?!
yeah, you may declare me total noob now xD

If you have a cold, you take pills to cure it. If you have a headache, you take pills to make you feel better. If your stomach is causing trouble, you have pills to cure it. But actually, what do you do to cure a broken heart? There are no pills for that I guess? How do you guys deal with hurt feelings or worse, if somebody/something had torn your heart apart? I speaking for myself feel it very consciously, I actually bring myself rly down on purpose by listening to sad music or watching sad movies as-I don't know,I believe, it is a state your mind is in so I owe myself to feel what my mind feels and for a moment live what it feels. There was a time I was stupid enough to ignore all this, put on a pokerface and just pretend it wasn't there. The result was worse than an epic fail^^ And, a positive side-mark (for myself that is) you are able to paint true feelings, an experience I only have being in such a-well funny state.... (tho I wouldn't ever post those paintings anywhere xD)
nono, I am not a depressed artist, oh my gosh, it is just-I wonder a lot^^

Ps. you guys are truely awesome, I have never ever made an experience like this, you make one feel warm and welcome. Thank you so much for being who you are <3

they will team up for Valentine's day to hold a special collabission auction for a two-character piece, in the form of a black-and-white photo shoot, with the possibility of adult or coloured pieces.

You can check out the auction here: http://www.furbuy.com/auctions/1021628.html

I will be doing the sketch/underpainting and  Venigsun will be doing the over-painting/detailing in her usual realistic style. This is quite possibly the last digital fullbody piece Venigsun will be offering for the year.

I have read in her journal, that obviously some ppl find this rather expensive? Let me show you, why realism is not cheap: http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/fil.....69r-a-jpg.html a screenshot of how my photoshop looks like, when doing realism and I am very sure, Veni's looks similar oO You see, it is a hell of a lot of work, painting each stroke with a tiny brush. Just-ehm, wanted to point that out ^.^

Nuff said: enjoy <3

I made myself an account :D at livestream that is and-well before I start slowing my MAC down with streaming, I wanted to know, if you sweeties are interested at all?! the same question goes for WIP's, do you find them useful/like seeing them or are they just a-waist of space xD? Did you have a nice week-end?

All files are MINIMUM sized 1748x2480pixels (being A5), at 300dpi. You will get 1x JPEG, 1xPS-Datei with all layers and/or PDF

We can talk about detail n'stuff, no problem^^ If you wish a certain DL tell me! I do "emergency" commissions *meaning they will be completed within 36h* for 60% of the original price on top
I need you to describe as detailed as possible what you expect/imagine. This concerns especially atmosphere, size of your character and personality of your character.
I paint everything, every fetish *if you want to stay anonymous, I will make sure, you WILL stay anonymous* the only thing I do NOT paint is baby-furs cuz-well, I just don't like anything having to do with the subject… and I suck with humans but-I can try at your risk w.w
And: I am not that good at painting cars…..just-to let you know xD I can manage tho- with a ton of references^^
Before I start on colo and stuff, you will get a scetch with gray-scale-hues blocked in. Once I got your approval, please understand, that afterwards only minor changes are possible.

Time-frame: I work parallel on several illustrations to get them finished quickly. I promise to do my best so you don't have to wait like-forever. You have the right to demand scetches/works in progress at any stage. I will note/email you when I start your picture.
After all references and payment have been received, I will give you a deadline by when I will have your painting finished. If I overdraw a set deadline by 4 weeks, you will get half of the price refunded and you may throw molded cheese and cows at me.
I believe in trust, but to make you feel more comfortable, I will send you a copy of my ID if you want. Should the commission price be more than 300 USD, you will automatically get one.
Should you want one of your own photos as BG/parts of the illustration-well, lol, I will need that before I start^^ If you wish your own photo set as BG, I will mod it to make it match the atmosphere of the painting. However, in rare cases it is NOT possible to make your photo work with the rest of the composition. If this happens to be the case, I will get back on you as soon as I notice it won't work. I only use photos being either free stock or your photos, I will NOT use restricted stock photos/copyrighted photos.

Copyrights: Ok, copyright is mine but-you can do with the image whatever you want after you received it. You can post it wherever and whenever, you can have prints made from it, sell those, blah, I don't care, it is your character, you paid for it, do what you want. Just don't claim it as your work and keep my signature on it, that is all I ask for^^.

Payment: Payment is due as soon as your slot is confirmed. I will note/email you the details.
Contact: Please contact me via e-mail: progressivepit(at)gmx.de. Please send me your references either via note here or via e-mail^^

Thought I should join in, lets have some fun ;)
