I'm not comfortable with how the admins have handled anything related to the reports towards Zaush; I don't want to be affiliated with FA anymore. I've been quiet on here for a while so maybe it's a moot point, but oh well. I'm not sure where I'll be uploading art from now on, but I'll edit this journal when I decide in a little bit. What's Weasyl like?

Contact information --
Skype: Kiakime (just say you're from FA if you add me)
Tumblr: Chocolatechilipepper

edit: my Weasyl's https://www.weasyl.com/~tsu and I'll probably be updating that and my deviantart http://kiakime.deviantart.com/ most frequently.

Oops, two commission rec journals in a row. Maybe that makes up for my lack of commissions?
Soldaten's taking them right now and you should go check it out. Financial need + reliable + cool art, with a pretty wide range of subjects she can do.

 Kraine

Works fast, makes gorgeous art, 10/10 would commission again

My girlfriend  yamiookami and I had room plans fall through, so anybody who's looking to fill a few slots should note us or comment here.

I'm not really sure how to sum things up except for "there was slow-as-snails not-really-drawing-much-of-anything hiatus, I wasn't really interested in art/much of anything, the end". Hopefully it'll last. I think it actually will? Art seems fun/possible again and I'm hopeful.

This journal's pretty much just me checking in with a to-do list and saying that I'll be going through messages and probably later spamming in whatever commissions I can finish today.

Hope life's been treating everyone else on this site well in the meantime~ 8)

*going to edit these as I finish things and then double-check when I'm done to make sure I got everyone

-- ratrabbit pixel
-- raining painterly thing
-- gyr commish
-- old jessele trade half

-- silly gifts after all this

People should chatter at me 'cause it's quiet over here; I wish I could livestream. 8(
this laptop's so cheap.

alsoo thank you to everyone who's watched me or commented. <3 even though I've sucked at answering those lately, it's really nice to see that there's people who're actually interested in my art and chatter? I'll try to have more of the first and less of the second. x'D

Just tossing this up since I keep getting asked, so there's no further confusion. Nice to know that people are interested, though!

Stealing from  Kayla-Na because it seems helpful.

If people want, I can reply to their comments and fill out the forms for you too. c:

I love it so far eee. 8D

Am I the only one who's played it and reads these journal things? Reminds me of Silent Hill, except a little stranger and darker. Amnesia protagonist guy needs to borrow James's flashlight. I just started out with the demo so I could tell if I'd want to play the real game, so I didn't see any monsters really before I turned it off. Just one in the tutorial bit.

incentive to keep character sanity up: oh my god that screen zooming ended up making me a little nauseous near the end.

I has one.

(crossing fingers for a tablet if I don't get one then I'll go out tomorrow and buy if myself but eee <3)

edit: all arting systems are go. 8D

Yepp, I think I can do this again. Just like everybody else is at the moment. >>;;
Only a few slots, though, so I don't bite off more than I can chew. Commission rules are here, prices and info are here..

Slots are per person, so if you want to order four traditional headshots for eight bucks or something I'm not going to say OH GOD NO I ONLY HAVE THREE SLOTS, but if someone orders a large amount of work, I might close up early.

Slot one: -taken-
Slot two: -taken-
Slot three: -taken-

Trade queue:

-- check in with Toulouse?

I've got other things I need to respond to on here, but I wanted to toss this journal up. I know sometimes I'm leery of critiquing someone's work unless it's clear that they want it.

So just in case it wasn't clear already...HI, I'D LOVE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO IMPROVE. Two heads (or three or five or a hundred) are definitely better than one, and I'd rather take advice from people more talented than myself than to get in a rut drawing the same shit and mistakes over and over.

So sleep-deprived right now and passing the time 'til class
and nobody'll probably read this anyway, and I can just delete it later, sooo

LAYER ONE : THE OUTSIDE
- Name: Rohawk, Absinthe, Theral, Tsubasa, etc.

LAYER TWO: THE INSIDE
- Your fears: Airplanes, doctors, my car breaking down, people walking behind me at night, people walking around silently outside the shower when I'm in it, intruders, car crashes.
- Your guilty pleasure: Online forum roleplay funtiems, honey bbq chips, horror movies and those crime shows, like NCIS.
- Your biggest pet peeve: Passive-aggressive people. You're annoyed with me, so you leave the door open so I have to be the one to close it? That's beautiful. Grow the fuck up.
- Your ambitions for the future: Get back to school, ace classes, get a nicely-paying job, some security, mostly career stuff, I guess.

LAYER THREE: THOUGHTS
- Your first thoughts waking up: "Can I get away with going back to sleep..?"
- What you think about most: I'd say "my regrets" but that sounds so pessimistic. Maybe just what I need to do/mental to-do list.
- What you think about before bed: "I should go to sleep but fuck I want to watch this movie".
- You think your best quality is: I guess..I won't stay quiet and let people treat me badly, but I try to make people happy otherwise? I like when everybody gets along.

- Lie: Everybody lies sometimes.
- Believe in yourself: Not really in myself, but I believe that I can generally give it my best shot if I work hard enough at something and approach it logically.

- Age you lost your virginity: Too late, too soon, I don't see the need to go into this.
- Does age matter: Yep.

LAYER NINE: IN A BOY OR GIRL
- Best personality: Raging antisocial psychopath with a fetish for trees. (Don't people pretty much put the same type of answer here no matter what?)
- Best eye color: Stark blue, black or that really cool silvery grey color. <3
- Best hair color: No idea.

LAYER TEN: FINISH THE SENTENCE
- I love: to go ramble around in the woods.
- I feel: tired as fuck
- I hide: my stuff sometimes, so certain family members can't help it /walk away on its own/. :/
- I miss: the friends I've lost touch with. My school. The city. My bird. A lot of things.
- I wish: I could read minds. Who doesn't?

LAYER ELEVEN: I TAG

whoever's procrastinating as tiredly as I am, haha.

c:

When this account gets 1000 views, whoever screenies it first and comments here with a character reference, I'll draw something for you.

First kiriban ever, I think. >.o

FUN~

If nobody gets the 1000 kiriban, I'll have another for some other number later.

~

I won't draw:

-- Blatant porn/nudity. I might do something "suggestive" as long as there aren't visible parts, but we'd have to discuss it. I'm not squeamish, but I'd just rather not open that can of worms.
-- Fetishes.

I will draw:

Everything else.

COMMISSION RULES
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Payment:
-- Paypal, no snail mail.
-- I take payment after I finish.
-- If you vanish and don't pay, I will recycle your commission for personal art or resale somehow (ex. making it a design for sale).

Courtesy:
-- Sometimes life and technical problems can delay art. Please be patient, polite and considerate. I have a life (usually), I'm a student, and sometimes I like to do art just for myself, too. I love reminders, as long as they're not rude.
-- I will make unlimited corrections if I've made a mistake, but if you change your mind about a detail, you can make two such changes before they'll start costing a small fee.
-- I have the right to decline your commission and/or refund your payment for any reason, at any point. If I'm the one who chooses to decline your commission and you've paid, you'll receive a full refund. If you cancel the commission before I'm done, I expect compensation for however much I've finished so far; i.e. if I've done the sketch already, you'll pay for a sketch. If you just ignore me or you refuse, upon that request, please don't expect to ever commission me again.

Art itself:
-- I can't show preview sketches of pixels, sorry. They're little scribbled stick figures, if anything.
-- Once you get the art, you can do anything besides try to make a profit off it or claim you made it. Modifying it, making banners and sigs and avatars, making templates, etc., are all completely fine.
-- However, if you want to resell a design I've given you, or design on a template of art I've made for you and sell designs from it, please contact me and we can talk about it; if I agree, the price is up to you, but I would like half the proceeds, as I did either 100% or 50% of the work.
-- I don't ship traditional work, sorry.


If you have any questions, please note me.

REQUEST RULES
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
For whenever/if ever I take requests~

-- these are completely out of the boredom/generosity of my little heart, and I'll do as many or as few as I please. I never owe requests to anyone, and any attempt to imply that/guilt-trip me into drawing for you is welcome because then I'll know better than to draw you anything.


THE GOLDEN RULE
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Overall, in all cases, be a polite and considerate human being. I will extend the same courtesy to you.

Thank you. c:

Not that I'm /ahem/ fishing around or anything

I'm totally fishing around. B)
