Ugh it's been a rough few months ; ; bear with me guys.

Multiple losses in the family, lost my irl job, got a new one, and the new one is kind of shit. Lost a couple sketchbooks to flood rains. I have to start over on a couple pieces that I had almost finished. By the way, I'm incredibly sorry to those that have been waiting for me to post their requests, I was able to salvage two of the four requests I had left, and I'll be finishing them as soon as I possibly can.

I know I said I was going to stop doing emotional vent journals, but I just need some mental and emotional support right now. Every day is a struggle to get out of bed and go to work, I'm so depressed nowadays that little to nothing makes me happy anymore. I'm sorry that I'm not at my peak, I can't afford medication to get myself back in a right frame of mind. I may not ever be able to afford said medication. I'm going to end up losing my real life job, and my home, and my cats, and ultimately the person that's been keeping me afloat. I'm so desperate for help... even just someone to talk to...

Sorry again for the annoying vent, I know it's not what everyone comes here for. I'm not even expecting responses. I just need someone to know how I'm feeling, without putting up a front.

Thank you for your patience.

So the school year is starting. That means my work will be slowing down, starting tomorrow. Unfortunately, I won't have a way to access the internet until I get a new phone plan.

I'm going to try and finish more work to the end of tonight to have most of my queue cleared out, but I can't very well guarantee anything. I have a couple more stages of pieces I've been working on finished, so I'll post them here soonish.

No, I won't be requesting donations for said phone plan. I have a job lol I'll earn my stuff. I will, however, remain open for commissions, but please be patient with me for replies. I may be able to reply to notes and comments every other weekend or so, and I'll be posting all finished work around the same time.

I also want to thank you all for sticking around through my emotion journals and stuff. I'm probably going to nix that from my journal postings from here on out, so I apologize first and foremost for that haha!

Tl;dr I'm not going to have Internet access accept every other weekend until I get a new phone. Thanks!

ToS

I only accept USD, and I would prefer if you paid me via paypal, since I don't exactly trust snail mail. Payment is expected up front before I start working. If that's not possible, I will accept half up front, and I'll work on it, you just have to wait for it to be uploaded until you've paid the rest. This is only on RARE INSTANCES.

I can draw any fetish, but I will let you know that some I may request extra payment for, depending on the complexity.

Concerning commissions, please note me with an accurate description of what you want, and a reference sheet(s), please. If you're going to buy a commission, and you give me artistic freedom, don't get upset with what I come up with. You should know what "artistic freedom" means.

When you send money to my paypal, don't say anything in the "note" portion about porn! I can get my account suspended like that. Instead, just mention your username. PLEASE don't pay for a commission before talking to me about it/getting my approval on it. That's stupid. Why would you do that?

I can do five commissions at a time, but only one ref at a time, before feeling swamped. I'll be putting up journals saying if I'm open for commissions or not. I'm usually open, but I do get busy.

Please be patient with me, I have a real world job and I don't always have time to draw. Aside from that, I'm currently only able to offer traditional pieces, my laptop is currently unusable. Please respect this.

Please send refs to me as a note. It's easier for me, than having to go to my email to retrieve it, where it may or may not download properly.

Oh my god, I have jealousy like nobodies business.

Jealousy and possessiveness. Rrrg. I'm going to explode.

The reassurance I need can probably never be given to me lol. This is basically a short rant journal.

My feelings for a certain doe are just akfuieidr everywhere x3x

So I've been having a ghost note for about a couple months now, ever since the hacking update, and I don't have any unread notes lol. My notifications show one unread note. Anyone have any pointers on how to get rid of it?

Give me a character of yours and an idea you always wanted drawn. I can only do traditional, and let me tell you, the stuff I have up now does not do my current style justice. I've been practicing =w=

Bipedal or all fours, sfw, nsfw, sketch pages, simple ref sheets, head shots, busts, waist up, thigh up, full body, 1-3 characters, I'll do anything. I'm just tired of drawing my own characters ;w;

Request means free, and five of you are gonna get lucky ;P

Comment below with a ref or description, and the idea you have, first come, first served.

Think of the most personal, perverted, off-the-wall question you can and ask me! Anything goes! I will answer all the questions you can ask!

So I've come to the conclusion that I'm bad at making friends. I don't know what to do about this. I love making new friends. I can converse on several topics, I can ask interesting questions about those subjects, and I have pretty decent grammar to boot. Am I doing something wrong? Am I too nice or something? :c anyway, if you're looking to befriend a well-learned, nice, eager to talk, but NOT enough to smother you kind of gender neutral person, note me, or comment on my journal. Please.

Eurgh, I have these voices in my head tonight, telling me I hate myself and that I should just off myself and that I'm never going to be good enough for anyone, and I can't make the voices stop, I just want to scream at everyone to shut the fuck up and get out of my head, I can't handle these whispers anymore.

Happy birthday to me, and what better way to spend it than drawing and listening to Sia in my birthday suit?

And if I know you well enough, you covld have my number! Note me for my number!

I'm not usually one to ask for attention, but someone please talk to me, I am insanely lonely right now ;3;

How come it's so hard to find a dude that is willing to give equal attention to both a slender, attractive biological female and their cute, chubby partner? Like seriously, S T O P. H I T T I N G O N M E. WHEN MY FICANCEE. IS NOT. HOME.

Nnnn I'm going to cry ; ;

Please not this is a rant about a guy irl, not about anybody here.

It's 6:00 in the god damn morning.

I just finished going through 218 days worth of submissions.

I have to be up in five and a half hours for work.

And my libido is raging.

RIP Rhylei.

Sooooo my fiancée lost my phone haha. That's why I haven't been active. I promise I didn't die.

Anyway, I've been going through some big changes, and made some big decisions and stuff along the way. Seeing as it's taken so long to get my latest work (remember that vore comic?) back on track, I think I would like to refund and for that they've already paid into the comic. I still plan on finishing it as soon as I'm able to, I just don't think it would be fair to make you guys pay for such shitty timing :c again, I'm extremely. Sorry for how long this is taking. It's hard to save money to fix my laptop when I'm paying for my own apartment lol.

Secondly, to , I've finished my end of the trade, I'm just not able to post it until I find my phone x.o many apologies, lotsa luffs.

Finally, to my new watchers, thank you for watching, knowing that people still enjoy my work makes me want to push harder to get everything back on track <3

Ps, to my friends, I really miss you guys, just bomb my Skype with messages so that when I find my phone I feel loved ;w;

Love always, Rhylei <3

Soooo, new apartment. Things were going great. Girlfriend and I have been happy. Now, she is sleeping in a hospital bed, recovering from an appendectomy. She's in so much pain, and it's killing me to see her like this. I feel really alone in the world. I just need someone to talk to.

We have some pieces up on our joint account! Please go check out  Indigo-And-Violet! You won't be disappointed!

One of my partners and I have decided to open up a shared account! It will be mostly traditional art, and we will have character auctions frequently! This account is to help pay for the wedding of this partner and their boyfriend, as well as bills and groceries! The auctions will start out low and slow, but as we get into the groove of the art wave, and make more characters, prices will gradually raise. If you're interested in having a pretty, new character, the account name is  Indigo-And-Violet. There isn't an icon yet, but expect that to change soon!

A new friend of mine is holding an art raffle for three winners! you should come check it out, and give her gallery a gander!

I can't find my tablet pen ;w; I thought it was in the box with my tablet, but I guess not. And I can't find the pen for my other tablet either. I'm sure you can imagine how upset I am. I have everything downloaded that I need, everything set up properly, all so I can find out that I lost my pen. Welp. I'll keep looking for it. hopefully will be able to find it soon. I'll let you guys know if it turns up.

Update: I found the tablet pen I was looking for! No need to panic c: I'll be back in business in no time!!

Thanks watchers

I have a working laptop now! I'm working on getting my Intuos4 tablet set up so I can continue my digital drawings! I have the file I need downloaded, so I'm kind of looking through all my files to figure out how to do this xD

If you know anything about this kind of tablet, don't hesitate to give me pointers and stuff! I'd rather have advice about certain features than have to work through them cluelessly!

For the time being, though, I'm still open for five slots for traditional art c: Don't forget! All commissions are half off if you include my personal character. There are no limits to what I will draw!

If you want art with my character, Rickie, the most mazing sharkdogcat thing that will ever be, the prices for any piece is half off! Additional character fees will not be applied unless with an additional character of yours, ie, 3+ characters. This discount will only apply to traditional art (for the time being) and will always be a thing! So check out my prices and see what catches your fancy! I will open for five slots at a time! Commissions will close once all slots are full, then reopen when each piece is finished!

So things are running a bit better for me. I'm more open to what happened to me, and I'm over the issue and realize that it wasn't my fault. However, I have a stomach bug and am not able to.. Function with my bowels ;3; never mind that, though!

I'm getting back into traditional art, and will be uploading some pictures soon! My traditional commissions are back on and prices are very low c: check them out on my prices journal! Should be linked at the bottom of this one. Note me if you're interested! I'll have five slots open, then will close until I finish all five.

So my twenty first birthday was Saturday. It was a nice day. Had some wine and cheese with a few of my friends. But lately I've been finding myself more and more depressed. More frequently, for longer periods of time. I don't know what to do with myself. My circle of friends continues to dwindle as I continue to move from state to state. I'm feeling so alone and secluded. This feels like an actual journal entry than letting people know how its going. This is more personal than I've been before. Sorry if I'm bringing anyone down. I guess I'm just looking for some encouragement. I've not been my self these past few weeks. Life isn't being very merciful.

I'm not sure how to deal with my feelings. I'm trying hard to push them aside and persevere. I'm just losing my drive. I could really use some help trying to get out of this rut.

Thanks.

I turn 21 this month, and so far, its been a terrible ending for my 20th. My birthday is in two weeks exactly, and I'm so ready for this to be over, you have no idea ;~; hopefully my 21st will come with new and true friends. I had a great beginning of this year, but the further along it got, the worse it became. My mom is in a bad spot with her abusive boyfriend, my baby boy, Tweety the cockatiel died, my Nana is dying, and I found out today that I have to give up my most precious pet, my little white kitten Orion. I'm not willing to publically announce all of what happened to me during 2015. That may or may not come in due time.

Anyway, it hasn't been looking good for my laptop ;~; any kind of donations would be absolutely lovely, and will earn you a drawing when I get my laptop fixed. These will be full-commission pieces. You can donate to rhyleiarts[at]yahoo.com and I really mean any amount! From $1 to $20 and more, if you're that kind <3 if your donation amounts to more than a full-commission from me, I'll do two, or add in a character, and so on.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for being a watcher. You're all pretty great people. Oh, and happy valentines day.
