Yes, I'm back. After a good 3 or so months. Yep. So... Yes. My iPad and computer were free of viruses. Got busy with school and procrastination and sick and I decided to give DeviantArt a try. And it's fun. And I'll probably be more active on there now for the time being. So... I've got 8000+ messages to sort out right now. If you want to contact me immediately and want a quick response, hop over to my DeviantArt account. http://sacredwolfe.deviantart.com
I'll work on comics in my free time. I'll get those updated and finished. Hopefully it won't take another three month leave. >.>

So I've checked my computer for the Trojan virus and it's not there, and the software that hides it isn't in my computer either. So my computer is safe! Not sure about my iPad yet, and most of the comic pages and work for others is on there, so yay. More delays on the comics, but I won't be totally gone. Surprisingly, I haven't been as busy (still have schoolwork and such, but not as much as before break) so I've been able to draw on my computer now that World of Warcraft no longer distracts me from it haha. So basically I'm kinda back, but I'm not able to get on my computer as much so I won't be as active as normal, and I won't be updating the comics since those are iPad works.

On a side note, I forgot how much FUN drawing on the computer is! I missed it so much. ;-; I doodled a quick thing today that only took like 3 hours, and I recorded it so... speedpaint. >:D

So...yeah. I'm leaving FurAffinity and pretty much the whole Internet for a while. Not sure if it is common knowledge, but there was recently a distribution of a Trojan virus through fake-but-looking-authentic Blizzard sites (battle.net specifically), and my account was hacked by these people and my World of Warcraft banned (which I got undone but it doesn't matter much at the moment anyways), so I added an authenticator. Well guess what! The authenticator doesn't work EVER and on the forums it says that that's the first sign that said hacker was actually because of the Trojan virus, and that either my computer or my iPad (which I JUST found out that iPads can actually get viruses!) has it. So I won't be doing anything on my computer, and not much of anything on my iPad! (I might draw maybe, but probably not.) So I won't be on FurAffinity or any website really until this gets sorted out. I'm actually not even posting this from either of those devices. But yes, fun. ;-;
I hope this doesn't take long and is figured out and I can poot around on FA and play WoW again and do anything on the Internet. -cries-

Please don't hack other peoples accounts. It's not fun for anyone but you. Even then it's not always fun for long. Especially don't be an asshole and go and hack someone's account then get it banned. Go be a fuckwad in some deep dark hole where no one is around to care and get some rocks banned or something, seriously.

So now that I've finished my seven hour bubble bath... ( not actually more like a 2 and a half hour shower but..... I still had to say that. Brohoof if you get it /) )
Will be posting and such on here now... But the comics and everything will be on hold til the week after next, and then everything will be normal. So about the comics.....
Acer's Insanity: the next page only needs touch-ups and a background
Midnight's Edge: I've started lining the next page
Naught's Journey (Anthro): I've sketched the next page like 5 times but they all look equally good and crappy and I had a really good idea of the dialog but I didn't write it down or sketch it on one of the page sketches so now I can't remember it.... So now I'm at a loss for the dialog too. I'll get there eventually x.x

And so lately I've been like totally hooked on this site: http://dragcave.net/
I'm a sucker for this kind of thing and really it doesn't require much, just check up on it here and there and I've fallen in love with the dragons (already in love with dragons in general, now I'm in love with these kinds of dragons + dragons in general) and because I'm weird and I just love designing characters most of the dragons on my scroll (my scroll=my account, which is here: http://dragcave.net/user/Naughtdragonbutt ) have like back stories and such and are like really well-developed (in my eyes) characters, so I started making little storylines for them and such, and I was like "man, I really want to make this a comic!" So I thought about making it a traditional comic where go out and buy an inking pen and like make the pages with that then scan them onto my computer and make tweak the dialog because my hand writing is sloppy as hell, but then I figured I have too much on my plate anyways so I'll just jot these ideas down and maybe make little excepts for all the ideas (I make ideas and outlines for the equivalent of like 20 chapters in a comic) and sketch a picture and just do it like that. I don't know if I actually will though. Depends on how bored I get or how much free time I have haha.
Well... I'll respond to comments and notes tomorrow, I'm tired. :I
Now excuse me while I leave to GO SNEEZE ON YOUR EVERYTHING HOLY COW FLARGAKJNJAS
-guiltily sneaks away to go play World of Warcraft and sneeze on the keyboard-

It'll end once my winter break is over, on January 6th. See you all then~

School finished for winter break yesterday, but I do have some small assignments over break. :/ Since it is so close to Christmas time and I'd like to spend it with my family, I'm going to extend the hiatus until after Christmas. After that, I'll make another journal saying the hiatus is over and I will resume work on the comics and ex cetera. I will also respond to comments and notes afterwards. Again, sorry about this. :c

...and I'm sorry I'm going to have to do it for a few more days. Or week, depends. The end of the semester is coming close, and since this is freshman year I'd like to end it with a memorable bang. (Hopefully positively....!!) I have a few finals before winter break, and then one afterwards and then the semester ends. I'm trying to study for finals, and it also seems that many of my teachers have assigned projects that are due before winter break... Hooray. I'm trying to break out of the habit of procrastinating, so I've been dedicating my time to school work.
So, this means I won't get on here much or post art much, and I won't be updating the comics until after this is said and done. I was able to get some work done over Thanksgiving break on the comics, but I haven't been able to work on them since then. I've almost finished with the next page of Acer's Insanity, but that was over Thanksgiving break and I don't think I'll be able to finish it before all this is said and done.

Summary:
Taking a hiatus from everything (including comics) to prep for finals in semester classes and the shitload of projects handed to me.

Have a great life for however long I'm gone, and I hope to come back to loving FurAffinity soon~ :3

Yep, my Thanksgiving break starts the day after tomorrow (Wednesday). So I plan on working on all three current comics and get some pages done to ensure that a delay doesn't happen again. That and I've been dying to make some characters and mess with genetics so you may be seeing a lot of characters up for grabs. Some of them I'll probably try to sell over on my deviantART for points, which are like a little less than 100 for 1$. (I doubt I'll sell them for more than 50, so if you were interested in getting a bunch and some commissions from me then hop on over there and you can buy some at 4$ for 500.)
Uhh... Yeah. By the way, I'm a lot more active on deviantART then ever before. I'm slowly getting used to it. I still like FA better, though. It's more user-friendly for me.

So-oo... Yeah! Post a link to yours and anyone else you want's Christmas wishlist for this year! If art is included in the want, I may do a little something! And I want to do a lot of little somethings this year! Last year I was totally slacking off, but now I'm going to try and make some people's wishes come true. c:

All in all: if you've seen anyone post their Christmas wishlist yet, shoot me a link to it below in the comments, and I'll add it to this journal so others can see it as well!

I'm just doing links to links to links! Wait, does that even work? O.o
If you post a wishlist, and it includes someone else's wishlist, which includes some different person's wishlist, I'll try and do all of em! Either I'm not going to get as much of these done as I want or I'm totally going to go insane with the amount of art that I do. xD

Really sorry I didn't post the page guys. x.x But I have a number of excuses, even though being late is inexcusable. I was busy yesterday and got back late, and when I opened the tab for FA I had open on my iPad, it gave me a white screen for the longest time. So I wasn't able to post it because my thingy never actually loaded. I'm not sure if that was my iPad, of FA, or my internet, or what. So I decided to go ahead and finish up the page, then check back and see if it would load. It still wouldn't, and I'm kinda glad it didn't. I was pretty much delusional for all of yesterday (I think it was because I didn't get as much sleep this week as I normally do), and there are some errors in the page from what I did yesterday. It's simple fixes, so I'm just going to clean up the page a bit and post it shortly. Also, I would have posted this and the page earlier, but if am a really late riser on weekends. >/////>

An art raffle by llucario. c:

Yeah, so, is anyone interested in design trades? Where I like make a character and post it and I trade it for a piece of whatever from you. The characters would have a full ref, with two full bodies and however many headshots I can fit, like three or so. So.... Would anyone do that? Or is that not something that you guys like? Thanks for the feedback.

Is it weird to make one of your characters your fursona's mate/boyfriend/thing??? I mean, in real life I don't actually have a boyfriend or anything and I don't really date people anyways, and it's not like I would actually claim to have this character as my "imaginary boyfriend" or something but is it weird to draw them with my fursona in a romantic way? Because a fursona is pretty much you, only an animal. I hope some of my rambling makes sense to someone. n.n

Okay, I guess I'll start out with the bad news:

I'M REALLY SORRY BUT, I didn't realize it would be this time-consuming to do two comics with updates every week. n.n I think I'll have to do the comic a page every other week. I'm really, really sorry everyone! I thought I'd be able to get these pages out faster, but I guess not. :< Here's how the updates will be this and next week:
This week on Friday I will post a page of Acer's Insanity and next Thursday I will put up a page of Midnight's Edge.

And now, the schedule for the next few days:

Thursday:
//goes through submission messages finally
Acer's Insanity -- finishing page 1 and sketching more pages

Friday:
Feline sketches --

Saturday:
Midnight's Edge -- working on page 2, sketch more pages

I'll update this if I do other things as well!

Yep! I want to practice feline anatomy so if your character is a lion or tiger or leopard or cheetah or domestic cat or lynx or wildcat or anything in between, feel free to post a reference image below and I will most likely draw them!

I'm going to update them once weekly instead of twice weekly. Sorry to anyone that that disappoints, especially the ones I'm working with. I just started the second quarter of school today, and I'm trying to use my left arm more but not too much, and I'm not getting very comfortable sleep at night since I can't really sleep on my left side so I wake up sore and tired. That and I've had family over for the last week, and they just left today. n.n Sorry to everyone! I'm one that relishes in sleep, hehe. :3

I've been itching to draw some GSDs so just post a reference image to your German shepherd character and I may draw them! :3
