Idk how I went a whole year + without uploading here. Outdated memes and random doodles incoming.

Finished uploading most of my backlog. I also added some commission info if anyone's interested, will be adding some preview images there soon. If you want to commission me, the best way to get in contact is Telegram, but if you note me here I should see it within a day or two.

I'm going to do a lot of reuploads from twitter over the next few days (hopefully). If things go well I'll continue posting new stuff once the backlog is uploaded.

I stopped because I wasn't getting much attention but I've just been drawing a lot lately and am curious if people actually wanna see it

For anyone that cares, I'm still around. I don't post here very much because I just don't have a ton of motivation to draw lately. Most of the stuff I do draw ends up unfinished or just barely not presentable by my standards.

If you wanna get in contact with me message me on telegram or note me here, i check in once in a while.

Just a quick update for anyone who wondered wth happened to me. If you want more details you're just gonna have to message me.

I'm going to Anthrocon. Yay *waves little flag*

I've returned! More brilliant and mediocre than ever! I'm alive and well, old and depressed, and I've started drawing again! Yes! Can I get a "Heck Yes" from all you gorgeous darlings?! Love you all. I can't wait to start posting again, thought I might be a bit more active in a different niche pretty soon. More on that as the situation develops.

What do you guys that stream art use for the streaming? I've used uStream and twitch and was dissatisfied with both. uStream just blows, sorry. It does. Twitch... doesn't like copyrighted material or mature stuff, and it's really for gaming anyway.

The only other things I know of are LiveStream and... well, youtube >.> WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? WHAT ELSE IS GOOD? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON... no wait. NOW. FIND OUT NOW!

Dunno if anyone even follows me anymore, most of my friends hate me (and maybe they're right to).

Basically I don't draw because people lie about my art. I'm no artist. I'm better than some, but there are far more better than I.

Since I was 16 people told me that my art was impressive and that I should look into making money off of it. I took that very seriously, and tried everything from photography to digital art to painting and back. I got tons of similar compliments, but no one was willing to drop a penny on me. I even opened up free requests once, but only one of them was really specific enough for me to attempt. But I failed even that.

Fast-forward a bit, I get some good friends, not drawing much anymore, too busy enjoying other parts of my life and doing school. Meeting people who make money off of art, and it seems to work really well for them. I try my hand at it again, but I'm rusty and can't draw too well anymore. I'm sort of at the stage of practicing every now and again, but it's pretty discouraging.

Only one person has ever payed me for my art, unlike everyone in my life said would happen. You know who you are (if you're reading this) and all I can say is thanks. It meant the world to me.

It just kind of sucks seeing everyone else ordering all these commissions- especially the people I've called friends- from everyone except me, the person who they praised all the time. It hurts even more when I see them commissioning art that I excel at drawing. I see these commissions and think "I could have done that..."
And that's why I don't draw anymore. Because nobody really wants my art.

I may continue uploading pieces that I have already completed, just to get them out there, but I really don't know when I'll ever make something new. My creativity has run dry with depression and discouragement.

Sorry if I sound whiny.

So it's been a while since I uploaded anything, but i have many pieces. I generally only show people who i think will be interested in the particular piece, but I'm wondering if I should start posting here again?

I dunno. What do you guys think?

So i just stumbled across an FA page who's like "IF you want to thank me for a watch or favorite, why not favorite or watch me back?"

Then they go on to complain about people that simply say "thanks!"

Since when are watches/favs currency, or meaningful at all? I'm laughing so hard. Asking for them devalues them even further.

I understood it that a watch meant "I'm actually interested in seeing more of your art" and a favorite means "I really like this piece!"
Idunno, you furries make me lol.

Guys. I love it when you ignore me to go play your video games. In fact, every time I send someone a message, I'm thinking "Oh, I hope they don't get back to me for several hours, only to tell me 'Can't talk, you're not important enough to me to stop my game every few minutes,' That'd be so cool."

I like games as much as the next furry, but come on. When I'm playing, I'm still online. Either in the background, on my phone, or even on another computer when applicable. I've even stopped a game and ran across my house to reply to a message. Why? Because I fucking love my friends. They are the most important thing in the world to me.

All I'm asking for is a little respect. Video games are for entertainment and passing time, they shouldn't consume your life and they shouldn't out-prioritize your friends, if you really care about them. If you let this happen, you can bet your ass we won't be friends for much longer.

For all of you people who try to be someone else because you think it's cool, or you don't think people will like you or whatever:

I don't like liars. I don't like fakes and I don't like pretenders. Role playing is one thing, but when you live your whole life as someone else...

I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I'm just saying. I wouldn't want someone to like me for being something that I'm not, and I wouldn't want a friend who I think is a certain way when they aren't. How can you really have any friends if you never open up to them and really let them get to know you? How much of a friend are they if they wouldn't like who you really are? It's rude and hurtful to both parties.

This has been on my mind for a while and I just wanted to get it out. The bottom line is that if they are worth having as a friend, they will love you no matter what. If you're pretending to be someone they like so they will be your friends, then you're just plain selfish.

I hope this helps someone make better decisions, or maybe helps them make more real friends. I'm not trying to hurt anyone here, just sharing my thoughts and experiences. Peace.

idunno how many of you will even read this lol. i just wanted to say "rage. asdfg."

if any of you actually want to know how i've been doing, speak up. i'll post another journal with a real update~

Why?

Why does everyone nerd-gasm over video games? They make it such an important part of their life. Seriously, just go marry your console. I'm not trying to be a douche, I know how exciting it is when an anticipated game comes out. I know it's really fun to wait in line and to finally have it in your hands.

This does not give you bragging rights, though. You are not better than anyone else because you bought the special collector's edition, or you got something special with a pre-order, or you stood outside in the cold rain for half an hour waiting to get it as soon as it was available. It just proves you have too much time on your hands. Or that you make more money than other people, which is a real douchey thing to brag about today.

All that doesn't bother me too much though. Like I said, it's all very exciting and fun. What REALLY pisses me off is when the game is immediately put into the console on home arrival, and then played straight into the next day. ignoring all texts, calls, even your own bodily needs, like food. Or a toilet. Get a grip on your lives, guys! It's just a game. YES just a game. It will be there when you return from the potty. It will still be there when you put your phone down. And guess what. It will be there when you get back from your friend's house too.

I think people should pace themselves when they get a new game... it gives you something to look forward to after school, or after homework. Or after work. For me at least, it inspires me to get stuff done. It's a small motivator for me. If i just sit down for 30 hours straight and play a game through I really don't find it that ... fun. I typically end up complaining about it being too annoying. Most people find spending 30 hours straight with anything pretty annoying though.

So why do you guys do it? Maybe if I understood it wouldn't bother me so much...
Sorry for the rant, but I'm just really tired of being less important than a video game...

life is just retarded recently. as soon as i make a promise, life forces me to break it. Whatever though. Everyone that made requests, I'm sorry. I WILL do them, but no definitive date has been come up with. I didn't get the money I was supposed to for the computer. I may not get a computer for years.
On top of me not being able to keep promises, everything has been doing all it can to prevent me and my family from having any money. several car accidents, (everyone's fine), hurricanes breaking most of our yard, some of our roof, floods from last year, school, siblings breaking up with boyfriends and moving back in with us <.< its just stupid.
So I'm officially giving up (at least temporarily). I'm online sometimes, please talk to me if you feel like you want to. I love/need the company right now. Pray that I make it through this alive x.x

My computer is down. i will continue to work on the requests but i can no longer color them. i will be getting a new computer some time this fall. i'm really sorry everyone...

i will be able to upload them when i get the chance to finish them, life is just relentless. Again i'm really sorry to everyone that sent me a request, i haven't forgotten.

SO. I think maybe jumping right into commissions was a bad idea, even though everyone kept telling me it was a good one. Since i've got more time on my paws though, i'm gonna open for requests. Yeah, free art. i will have 4 open slots at a time and will post them in the order in which they were received.
The first slot is already taken as i owe a friend something, so i told her she could get first slot as soon as i opened for requests.

Request info:
I will take requests of up to two characters of your choice (my original characters are free to use as long as i agree to the situation they are being put in :P), and include a simple background if requested. I will take sketch, line art and color requests, however, color will not be shaded unless absolutely necessary.
I will not draw porn so don't ask. I will draw mature art, as long as it's "tasteful" and not pornographic (i'll draw a sheath or nipples as long as it's not in a sexual manner). You must request it as a mature art piece however, otherwise i will leave it "clean"

Please note me or IM me with details of your request, reference pictures help a lot if your characters already exist.

Update 1 :
yeah sorry about no ustreams, my luck that the time i advertise my stream, i start losing interest. also i figured a way to get multiplayer to work on tiger through virtual machines. so if you happen to see RenWinterfox on SMP, that's me :3

XBox!
Also i just got an xbox 360 so yey :V if you want to add me, my gamertag is below my journal if you're on my user page. don't forget the space!

Update 2:
Life is really boring the crap out of me <_< i seriously need more IRL friends that won't just ditch/ignore me, as most of the ones i care about have. so... idk. If you're in the new england area and not too lazy to drive... hit me up. i love company :3

Update 3:
That hat looks really good on you.
