Got a job, didn't get many bites here about it, so... sale's closed! No more commissions till winter.

I'm in need of cash, so I'm offering commissions at 30% off! Sketches start at $10 instead of $15*! Color starts at $42 instead of $60*! Limited time only! (honestly I'm not sure when I'll say no!)

It would be appreciated if anyone could spread the word!

*Note- I'll still be gauging pics! Feathery characters, complex characters or scenarios will always cost more, just less than usual.

Possible. I am going to visit family who has no internet. I leave Sunday. I will have my iPad with a cellular signal, but family's in the sticks, so I may not have access unless it's on an excursion somewhere. That said, please be patient with me in the next two weeks if I don't get back to you! Commissions still open, though they will be obviously delayed. I am knocking out three of the ones on my list before I leave, and will be working on the five-image one in my sketchbook. New commissions, should they arrive, will be dealt with pretty quick despite the delay. :)

Lord willing, it will be the last time I ever mention this. But it must be said.

Dunno if anyone cares. I tweaked both of them because I didn't like the coloring of #2 and I forgot some stuff on #1. Refresh, if you care to see.

_____________

Stolen from a cunt who shall remain nameless. More than she did for me.

A. What inspired your fursona?
My fursona is me: the hair, the clothes, etc. I wear shoes and she doesn't tho, and it's not some disgusting sexual thing, I just don't like drawing furries in shoes because I think it's impractical. She is a golden retriever, but I draw her like a fennec. Iunno.

B.What music or song, no matter what, is one that soothes you into a comfort no matter how many times you've listened to it?
Никита - Танец в Темноте (Nikita - Dance in the Dark). I love Nikita. His music sounds similar in every song he does tho, so if you've heard one of his songs you've heard them all. Still favorite song of the hour.

1. If you were able to live ANYWHERE you wished, without worrying about it money wise, where would you call home?
If I could also leave whenever I wanted to? Tomsk, Russia. It's in the heart of Siberia, and just once I'd like to experience Russian winter. It's also where my teacher is from. I would not like to live anywhere in Russia permanently. Second spot I guess would be Vermont or Maine.

2. What is your favorite food? Why?
I don't have one.

3. What is your definition of a "peaceful place"?
My own art studio, complete with high end PC and the ability to shut my door and blare music while I work.

4. Do you have anyone who isn't family related that you've ever felt closest to?
Probably my friends from high school.

5. What is your philosophy on how life works?
It's a bitch and then you die.

6. Do you believe in karma?
Not really. I've seen really awful people still alive and well and they honestly should be euthanized. Really horrible people.

7. Do you have brothers or sisters?
No.

8. Where does your family live?
Down south, biologically, up here otherwise.

9. Where do you live?
Cape Cod. It's full of old people.

10. What kind of car do you drive?
Beautiful 2001 blue Toyota Camry, and the title is all mine because it was paid off about a year ago.

11. Did you go to school (college)? What was it like for you? Are you still attending?
Yep. It was a community college, but my focus was visual arts, as I wanted to be an illustrator. Rabbit Valley is having me do more illustrations than individual commissions, so that makes me happy.

12. What's your goals? What do you plan to do as a career?
Wanna do something with Russian.

13. Are you close to what you've dreamed?
Sure? I can have conversations with random Russians now, even though I make mistakes. They are very good about correcting me, which I like.

14. Can we extend phone numbers?
t(-.-t)

15. Ever think we could try putting together a short story?
wtf no

16. What's your favorite soda? drink? coffee? tea?
I like ginger ale and 7up, aside from that peach seltzer.

17. Do you like to cook? Can you cook? Were you self taught? or have instruction?
Sure I like to cook. My mother taught me how, then she went to culinary school recently and I would love to know more.

18. How long have you been drawing?
Since I was 12. I am fortunate to still own my sketchbooks from then.

19. Do you ever feel discouraged due to how some people see your art?
No? Either they like it or they don't, but I do it for myself mostly. I just like to share what I do.

20. What do you consider annoying?
When people think I like feet. When people think I'm a guy. HOTMAIL - fucking thing sends everything to junk mail.

21. What are your views on video games?
Love them. I think some are better played on consoles (i.e., Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto) and some are better on PC (ANY shooter, anything by Bethesda).

22. What kind of tablet do you prefer?
I think I use a Graphire 4. I dunno. It works. When it stops working I'll buy a new one.

23. What art programs do you use? Where or how did you get them?
Adobe Photoshop CS6, Illustrator CS6, PaintShop Pro 7.04. The last to manually clean lines, the middle to clean and vectorize the whole thing, and the first to color. I much prefer Painter to color, but I don't have 300+$ to shell for it.

27. If you were able to visit any time whatsoever, when would it be?
This is a loaded question, as I am female and females were always oppressed. Probably pagan Rus. Russian pagan traditions are fascinating.

28. If you were to have some sort of special power, what would it be?
Telekinesis and/or shapeshifting.

29. Do you have any pets?
A purebred Russian Blue boy cat. He's very pretty but a cocksucker.

30. What is your favorite video game?
Loaded question... I like a lot. Probably Saints Row IV and Grand Theft Auto IV and V.

31. What's your favorite kind of music?
I like it all. I just don't like death metal and Russian candy pop. The latter is gross. TATU especially is gross. But I do love modern Russian music on the whole.

32. What do you like to draw the most?
Furries, especially furries without their goddamn feet showing. I'm tired of drawing feet. I find them annoying. I also like drawing dragons, though I don't draw them as often as I should.

I actually despise memes, but meh. This one seems alrightish.

What's your real name?
Robbye Nicholson

Names you go by?
Quel, Quelyntr, that dude who draws feet (sigh)

How old are you?
31

How old do you feel/act?
I act the same elsewhere, which I think is my age. I'm very blunt (NORLY) and I tend to speak before thinking. I guess because of this I'm pretty quiet usually.

How tall are you?
5'3" (1.6m)

What's your natural hair color?
Dark brown

What's your eye color?
Dark brown

What's your orientation?
Bi. I like men and women pretty equally, though I've been favoring women lately.

Are you single, taken or undecided?
Taken. Go away.

What do you do in your spare time?
Draw, study Russian, study Russia (there's a difference), play lots and LOTS of vidja games. Mmmm.... I got a PS4 for my birthday. That doesn't really mean much though because it's such a goddamn new system there's nothing to play on it. Way to go Sony.

What's your job or occupation?
Freelance artist.

What do you like about yourself?
I am damn organized to a fault, and I like things tidy.

What do you dislike about yourself?
I get migraine headaches a lot. :|

What did your friends notice about you when they first met you?
I make them laugh. I love making people laugh.

What is your belief/religion if you believe in anything at all?
No religion. I believe in science.

Do you drink?
Not at home, but I will drink outside if there are drinks available. I prefer sweet drinks and admittedly love to drink to excess (I do this maybe twice a year at MOST, so my liver's fine). Drinking to excess and playing video games is like... the most win that has ever winned a win in the win with a stolen win. I don't do this anymore though.

Do you smoke?
No.

What are your major fears?
Fuck you. Anyone who answers this can fuck themselves for being retarded enough to answer such a personal question.

Do you have any dreams or goals?
I want to do something regarding translation, but not straight translation. Something involving for lack of a better phrase, "diplomatic relations" between Russians and Americans. In reality it probably just means translating porn websites, because let's face it: the Russians have the best porn.

Have you ever had a crush or an ex?
Who hasn't. Currently have one though, which drives me crazy on a daily basis.

Who's your best buddy?
My SO.

What's your favorite dish?
Hm. I don't really have a favorite food. Probably anything my mother makes. Secondly, homemade roasted chicken soup.

What's your favorite drink?
*shrugs* I like everything. Probably flavored seltzer water.

What's your favorite color?
Once again, wtf. I don't have a favorite. I like them all.

If you had a super power, what would it be?
Telekinesis and/or shapeshifting.

What's your favorite movie?
Bad Boys II. Not Another Teen Movie. Белка и Стрелка: Звёздные Собаки. The last one's a cartoon about the first dogs in space; supposedly they were going to adapt it to English, but I wince when I think about it.

What's your least favorite food?
Raw. Fucking. Cilantro. GAG. Also don't care for beets, radishes, or raw mushrooms.

What's the last meal you want before you die?
Anything made by my mother. <3

What do you drive and what would you really like to drive?
Blue Toyota Camry. Mmm. I love my car. He's named Solaris. He got his sound system upgraded a couple years back, so driving him is orgasmic. I would like to drive a Lexus, or at least a really really nice Camry with sunroof.

What is your most disliked bug?
Fuck all insects. Bleh. Except praying mantises and ladybugs. <3

What pet peeves do you dislike the most?
When people assume I like feet. When people assume I'm a guy. When people don't fucking RTFM. GODDAMN HOTMAIL.

What do you dislike in life?
Kind of a long topic, isn't it? I can't think of anything I'd like to share.

What do you like about life?
Lesbian sex. Bet you didn't see that one. Or maybe you did.

Please note: I am not interested in chatting or doing fucking multiplayer on PSN. Fuck that. I'm not very social. I only ask because there's so much community share shit: you find a royal convoy or a treasure chest or a white whale and it shares it with your friends. I find this shit all the time, but really have no one to share the locations with.

Anyone want to add me? PM me if you're interested, and I'll give you my PSN.

Moved some stuff to scraps, mostly uncolorful paw-related shit. In case anyone wondered where it went.

Fed up with the whole, "I AM TEH LEAVING BAI FOR WEEZL" shit, I decided to prune my watch list. Oh boy oh boy.

- Haven't posted in a year? Two years? FIVE YEARS? Gone.
- Unfortunately dropped off the face of the earth and taken all your shit with you? Gone.
- Have art I skip over when I read my messages anyway? Gone.
- "This user has voluntarily denied access to their webpage."? WTF IS THIS. Gone.
- Leaving for Weasyl or other points unknown? Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Gone.

454 to 278. Like an enema.

I don't necessarily have an opinion about people moving; do what you want. W/e. But until I can advertise on Weasyl, and turn really good art of mine (not attempting to self-fellate) into having above a mere 100 pageviews (not favorites), then I'm not fucking moving. 26 pageviews? 3 favorites? Keep dreaming. It's just not a feasible option at this time. I don't mind having a Weasyl account, overall I like the site and I don't mind updating it, but it's not where I'm going to pitch my tent.

Plus I hate their rating system. Why do nipples = explicit art? If I were to do a tasteful frontal nude of Shura, with references from an art book or real life or whatever, why is this explicit? I can get away with it in an art class, why can't I give it a blue tag on Weasyl?

*shrugs* On that note, if you care you can find me on Weasyl: http://www.weasyl.com/~quelyntr

On that note, holy goddamn fucking shit, rooms for Rusfurrence are EXPENSIVE AS HELL. $461 dollars for the luxury of having a kitchen? Good Christ, THAT'S STILL MORE EXPENSIVE THAN HERE FOR FOUR NIGHTS IN WAY BIGGER ROOMS. And I live in tourist hell. :| ... also I am not going to Rusfurrence. I'm just reading the site for practice. :x I would love to go to Wuff in Ukraine! Other than their food menu (which is full of culture shock and wrong*), it actually looks like a really fun place.

* - I'm not expecting burgers and fries but... what the hell, Ukraine??? :0

I know I've kept putting it off. RL is a bitch. I'll be taking commissions until late Spring, though may continue for a little bit depending on my seasonal work load.

Just send me a note please, and I shall put you in the queue, first come first served, ofc. People who have expressed an interest in my work and have noted me to this point will be receiving a note from me.

I am looking forward to doing new work for a change!

I'm sorry guys... I haven't been available lately due to REEL LYFE. That said, I've been even less available on Weasyl, just checked it now, and noticed on December 12 to now I've had a strange spike of watchers there. Thanks! Though I'd love to know why. lol

Have a happy and safe holiday season!

* "Spam to Win" - Journals and submissions which require OR directly encourage other users to create additional journals and submissions are PROHIBITED.

I've gotten so many of these damn journal messages it's pathetic. In my experience it doesn't even draw more people to the contest or whatever it is you're doing, and I'm even less likely to visit the f'ing page if it's advertised. Blah. Good riddance.

Someone's been making a page on a girl who loved to bad-mouth me to anyone who would listen.

Schadenfreude to the extreme. It's long, but a wonderful read with a cup of tea.

My criteria for a new kiriban has come up, but I can't take on a new one until I finish the prior one. I have a job now that leaves me exhausted at the end of the day. :| I am also working on a comic project, as well as some miscellaneous work for Rabbit Valley, all of which is taking a front priority. Whenever I finish the old one and square everything away, I shall place a new journal up.

Patience! :)

A campaign is going to make this a reality. Comes with perks to entice donators!

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/2.....orror-calendar

Spread the word! Because real werewolves don't sparkle. :)

Hope to get a summer job, and this I will be ending commissions within a month, though if the Fates decide they love me, within a week or so. It also means the spacing between raffles will get longer, though I swear to God I really really plan on finishing the last raffle winner commission BEFORE the new criteria for a raffle starts (the next 50 watches or so).

Thank you to all who paid my bills in the last several months! :)

Pit of drama catering to either the really good or the really bad in terms of art. Must pay to get any functionality out of the site. Doesn't allow porn. Draws questionable line in the sand on what is porn and what isn't. Shitty interface. I walk into 10k messages every time I login because GROUPS. Also: GROUPS - does anyone even look at these? I don't. Re: 10k messages when I login. If no one is watching the groups, how am I to get page views? And seriously what the fuck is a llama?

I should kick this piece of shit out the window. I'm not sure why I'm bothering with it, tbh. No other site I've ever used has been such a pain to use or deal with.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4347751/

Dear lord. Fucking furries.

I do have a Weasyl account, username Quelyntr if you wish to watch me there as well, but I'm not upheaving myself.

Weasyl is open for users now without invites necessary. Go watch me there too! https://www.weasyl.com/profile/quelyntr

In four months I've almost gotten 1000 new watchers. You guys all rock. I'm glad you like my art. :) (Я говорю "Спасибо за вотч" всем русским друзьям! ^^)

New kiriban at 2500 watchers: the +1000 watcher milestone!

Winner this time is  blackminorscales! Thank you to all who participated! Not sure when I'll do another raffle, but I'll post a journal when the time comes. :)

I've been too lazy to post this. lol Offering a two-character kiriban raffle! Just comment on this journal to be entered. I tried last time having people send out a journal and a pimp out of this, but it really didn't generate too terribly much interest, so if you WANT to, you can, but it's not a requirement... besides I think it's too much of an ego-stroker for the artist. Blah. Anyway the details! Comment on the journal to be entered. Please do not post your character specs or anything like that, because I don't care about your character unless you win. (No offense.) No bias towards friends or previous buyers; I'll be using a random number generator. Once again, you get to pick the characters, but I get to pick the scenario. You also get to choose if it's clean or adult. My only real restriction is: no feathered wing characters. I truly hate feathered wings and will go apeshit over a feathered wing picture I'm not getting paid for.

The winner will be picked next Tuesday at 10:00am EST. ... or whenever I remember on Tuesday. lol Have fun and good luck. :)

Для русских фурриков: Комментируйте на этот пост, а может быть, вы выиграете приз. На самом деле, надеюсь, что русский фуррик выиграет. Ну, комментируйте! ^^
