new pc owns, i've been enjoying it for a while now.

thanks to pavi i also have a couple of new styluses-es-es for my tablet.

being productive and all that. :3

new pc is ordered, it will be here sometime in early august, like around the 10th. i'll still be making payments on that after i'm in my grave. :T

until that point i am still accepting donations, however i can't stress this enough... please don't overextend yourself if you do decide to slide me a few bucks. i will steadily work through compensation for people who put a drop in the bucket. <3

thanks to some amazing generosity i am no longer behind on bills and my rent is payed for this week, but i'm not out of the woods entirely just yet.

however, the only other thing i'm really desperate for at this point is a new stylus for my tablet -- if anyone has a spare that will work with a wacom graphire2, that would be a mad lifesaver at this point. can't get done with anything i owe people without it.

my old warhorse of a pc finally gave in and died, unexpectedly. i have financial assistance toward getting a new one, but it will be 3-4 weeks until i'm even close to back in production.

in the meantime i can't take commissions in good faith but if anyone feels inclined to donate any amount, however small, i will try to compensate you somehow... whether by giving free merchandise in SL, mailing you a small real media sketch or owing you a digital sketch piece to be completed when i'm operational again.

i also have a hardback sketchbook which i'll be filling with pokemon/pokemorph pinups and porn, stuff of that nature, some b/w ink and some colour. no strict theme other than that, and i'm not yet sure on the price. if you like the pokemon stuff i've posted in the past, you'll probably like a whole book of it to call your own.

really not trying to hear a bunch of "oh i wish i could help" and related sentiments, i appreciate the thoughts and i'm not trying to be a dick but that kind of comment just really stresses me out. i don't need that right now.

interested parties, please contact  CharlotteWirtanen by FA note to arrange payment details, as i won't have regular access to a computer for the foreseeable future.


EDIT: i also have extra copies of HALFLIFE2 and HALFLIFE2: EPISODE ONE to trade via steam, in case there's someone out there who's been living under a rock for the past several years and doesn't have a copy.

therions done and released, im going back to my hole for a while.

back on the grind to get the latest avs done, it'll be any day now. still don't want to give a concrete date cause that ain't how we do.

peace to youse at anthrocon, wish i was there. safe trips home for everyone.

it is what it is.

don't expect miracles.

so due to my own stupidity i managed to completely mangle my old windows installation. don't ask, it's an embarrassing story and i'll just lie about it if you press me for answers.

to those of you still waiting for commissions, i seriously, seriously apologise. x_x; i'm slowly getting everything up and running again -- under linux no less hurrr -- so i shouldn't be out of production for too much longer. unless, of course, i end up having to reinstall again. derp de durr.

and after that i reckon it's about time for me to disappear until after the holidays, since things generally get a bit madhouse for me this time of year.

i should be flattered

someone made a therion ripoff av and named it after me

okay... round one of tenbux commissions is closed. i should be done with them sometime in the next week. i have some SL stuff to get to, also.

i'll be taking another five tenbux commissions in a week or so. :3

okay here's the deal...

you send me $10, i draw. since these are only $10, you get a refined sketch type thing of your character, SL av or similar, inspired by whatever song i'm listening to at the moment and/or all the bizarro heathen hellion aesthetic that i smear all over everything i touch.

note me if you're in. send reference, one or two pictures or a text description is fine. let me know if youre okay with nudes, pinups or solo porny stuff, because thats usually what comes to mind first, but i dont draw it for other people unless they tell me its okay. i dont like to assume. ;3

five slots.

go.

1:  arcturus done <3
2:  sohjin done <3
3:  maou done (im dumb he payed me already) <3
4:  xinithian


PROTIP: if you want the last spot, send me a note... dont just leave a comment. that's my defining line between 'i am serious about paying you for art' and 'lol i want one but im only joking in the hopes you will draw me for free' D:

i hate my 'new' desk, and i wish our tiny studio apartment had room for my real desk instead of this tiny rickety wooden thing.

but i think i found a way to use my tablet... it just kills my shoulder and upper arm after about twenty minutes.


i may be taking $10 commissions at some point in the near future, but i still need to finish some obligations first.

uh.

i should be asleep.

z_z

i'm being an art cocktease, i'm sorry.

but it's for a good reason. i actually enjoy building shit in SL again, and i've been dumping creative energy that way. mostly taught myself to animate for SL in DAZStudio -- char helped a little, pointing me in the right direction. i'll post screencaps up here some time in the next couple of days.

maybe.

i have some art i owe to people who helped us out while we were... uh, 'not here', so i need to finish all that before i really do anything else drawing-wise.

also jesus, keeping house is a lot of god damn work.

going to get drunk and eat chicken now. :D

zyklonheim has moved.

you had best believe, my brothers and sisters, that i'm fucking back.

stable, self-reliant and ready to crank stuff out like nobody's business.

actually...

you know what, no. fuck you guys for not being able to do anything but kneejerk about shit on the internet that you think is retarded. do that shit on someone else's FA page, i don't give a fuck and i don't want to have to babysit you all and tell you to fucking shut up and stop wasting my time with shit i don't care about.

HERE IS THE REAL NEWS:
i am leaving my current 'residence*' on monday.
my stuff is going into secure storage.
i will be back at some point in the future.
i will not have regular internet access.
i have no idea when i'll have regular internet access or a place to live.
i think this is awesome.

there, maybe now i won't have to clean out a million and a half retarded comments from cute kids who think their opinion matters, when i get back.

i repeat. DISCUSS THIS SHIT.
SOMEWHERE.
ELSE. please and thank you. :3




*crackhouse, no fucking joke.

no more estate managers, no more rentals, no more bad neighbours, no more prohibitive land covenants.

EXL has our own sim group now. the build for our main store is finished.

it's been a long time in the works, and i'm very glad it's finally come to fruition. with a place to call our own, without having to worry about whether or not we'll have to uproot the store and move sims YET AGAIN -- it happened so many times it's become sort of a running joke -- we can get some god damn work done.

super squishy balseraph love to EXL staff and supporters, everyone who's been patient and awesome toward us on the long road to true autonomy. <3

i am bored.

ask me questions. one per customer please. management reserves the right to refuse service.

also i'm on AIM.

i'm stuck in an awkward place where i have like, the desire to make art, but not for myself. for once, the inside of my skull does not have a hojillion scraps of personal imagery banging against it with hammers and hooves, begging to be let out.

it's... sort of weird, and disconcerting. i'm trying to keep up with daily artistic-development stuff, learning something new or getting better at something i already know, but i am a filthy slacker at heart and it's hard to stay enthusiastic about 'work' when i don't have much in the way of feedback.

BUT I AM NOT DISCOURAGED. i'm just... walking, instead of running. :3

commissions are still open and will be until further notice.

$40 full colour pinup, single character (see prev. journal)
$25 sketch w/ simple colour, single character (wank-a-thon pix for example)
no multiple character stuff

note  charlottewirtanen for the business end of stuff. dealing with the logistics of commissions, payment, sketches, revisions and all that shit makes me not want to draw the actual art. but char is my hero and volunteers to do all that for me! :3

(copypaste -- if you are a member of the Exterminatus Labrats group in SL you've probably gotten this a few times, but i'm broadening the pool from which i'll take commissions)

Limited commission slots are available now from Exterminatus Labs' concept artist, Rue*Zyklon, known in SL as Cadia Richthofen.

Rue's commission queue is only three slots, and he is currently accepting requests for single-character pin-up sheets, in full digital media. Pricing is $40 USD or the equivalent in Linden; this includes a sketch, one revision, and three versions of the finished, full-colour piece: 100x100 avatar, 'FA-sized' image, and un-resized.

Commissioners are encouraged to provide Rue with reference material, including text descriptions, SL screenshots or character sheets. The more you provide, the more likely it is that Rue nails your desired image on the first try. ;3

All commission inquiries, including payment and image delivery arrangements, should be made through Rue's agent, Charlotte Wirtanen. Please don't contact Rue directly, either in SL or on FA -- this causes the poor artist undue stress, and he's already lost enough of his gorgeous black hair. Remember, stressed artists can't produce!

The following images are typical of Rue's current commission offerings:

'Descensio Therios: At the Left Hand Ov God'
'Anri of the Thunderstorm'
'Koopa Yenatroopa'
'Rex Therios Thelema'
'Sagittari Therios: Fire Walk With Me'

Again, all commission inquiries should be directed to Rue's agent, Charlotte Wirtanen. Please note  charlottewirtanen on FA -- Since the commission queue is limited to only 3, you'll be contacted if your commission is chosen.

(yes, i have an agent. i fucking suck at handling the business end of commissions.)

the productivity.

it just... doesn't stop.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


8D

i hate being awake this time of day, when almost nobody else is around to keep me company while i draw.

BUT AT LEAST I'M DRAWING.


the urge to draw most of that shit on my previous list has passed. commissions are done, i'm caught up. this whole productivity thing still feels alien to me, it's been so long.

ALSO LOL I AM AVAILABLE ON AIM FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY. get your awkward conversations with an unfamiliar, semi-stupid artist while they're... lukewarm.


EDIT: okay my internet connection is being retarded, and my drawing arm is telling me to stop, so i'm going to take a nap. e_e

http://www.myfursona.com/user/ruezyklon hurr lol whatever

maybe i won't fail quite as hard at this as i did at myspace. not like i need anything more to keep track of.
