Heya folks!
So I need something to help ease the burden of school, offer you guys affordable art and a way to get money for my various wants and needs! That's why I'm going to start up a bunch of small projects that I am willing to do for $5*!
The * is for any extra additions making it cost extra (like backgrounds, extra characters, etc; but its only about a buck or so more usually, I'm very cheap in making people pay for stuff because I know the pain and am spineless XD).
Here are some ideas that are in store, going on now or very soon:

Adoptables:
I still have a bunch of adoptables, my Novispa are still open, as are the fossils I posted a little bit ago :P
fossils: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19145470/
novispa: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/4862095/ , https://www.furaffinity.net/view/4862124/ , https://www.furaffinity.net/view/4862150/
Imps: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/5238536/

Armory Attire:
This is a new idea thank to a friend on facebook =) I posted up how one looks just recently, and might do a couple of pre-fab, but the rest are going to be customized adopts/commissions/whatever you want to call it, and each set up costs the same as my sketches: $5! so if you want an outfit that looks literally killer, then here is your chance! https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19598258/

Chibi Portraits and Paranoids: Paranoids are a really old style of mine, basically chibbis but made a little more silly and odd :P the cost of a Paranoid is going to be $1.00, and regular chibi works that I will be offering are going to be the same =)

Commissions: General commissions are the same as they always have been, but I am not taking any until I have this one down.

Family Portraits: I am going to offer these again very soon, as soon as I'm done with a promised piece that I still owe a very patient and awesome person >w< until then, no offers yet.

so these are a few ideas, if you guys have any in mind, suggest! I would very much like help in opening up more avenues for good times and fair pricings for all -w-
much love guys!

Hey guys...
so...some crazy stuff happened for a while there >.>
New Years passed by, I got all kinds of sick on several occasions...really fun, I recommend it (NO I DON'T)!
but being all better, I need to confess that productivity with anything commission related has flatlined...and I am nothing but ashamed of that.
a message is going to the one person that I have a commission out for, apologizing to them for my failure, and informing them of what I'm going to do to make up (pfft!) for what I haven't done in a fair and reasonable amount of time.
Seriously, to them and everyone I have ever let down as a doodler (I don't feel like I deserve the title "artist" at the moment) I'm sorry. so so sorry and I hope that you can at least enjoy what little I have for you after several months of losing, accidental damages, family matters and sickness.
I think its hard for a person to admit when they're wrong, its harder still to take that wound in your pride and attempt to make amends for your fuck-ups, but that's what I'm going to try to do here. I haven't posted anything up or been on for very long periods of time out of the shame. But now, I need to take a responsible step, I need to face where I failed, and I need to make up for it.
So again, if you don't get your message before seeing this, I'm sorry.
hopefully I will do much better this year, and I know I'm going to try for it with extra effort and sheer determination!

Much love guys,
Frosty

Hi everyone! long time no see! I hope you're all doing awesomely! :D
so, let's jump right in on the getgo about commission updates:
As of currently, I am aware of two commissions I need to get done. One is for  max-sasha the full *INSERT EDIT DUE TO DESIRE TO KEEP SURPRISE IN CASE SOMEONE SEES* is going swimmingly! inking though...is taking a lot longer than I had hoped =/ mostly due to the fact that...well...I seem to have run out of inking materials >///~///< I'll need to go up to the store and go buy some (I'm thanking god you paid earlier or this might've taken longer :P)
The sketch I'm making for a friend's story is probably going to need to be redone though <///<...mostly because inking fucked up and now I'm out XD lol!

ANYWAYS!
I might not be catching up on all of the pics that I owe the gallery (namely the watches ones >w<) and I am terribly sorry for that <=( there's just so many to try to do along with the commissions XP I guess I could shorten down and sweeten the pics into cute chibi arts rather than big huge sketches :P I dunno, hehehe, what do you guys think: downsize? quit? or push on regardless?
I'm also thinking of trying out a YCH piece after I have caught up on my commissions XP do you guys think it might be interesting to make a piece of a Harem? =3 that kinda seemed fun to me ^w^

ALSO!
I saw Dragonball Z Battle of Gods recently, and...HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!! I LOVED IT! XD the antagonist was so much fun! And the "God Form" thing for Goku was sick! like updating your current car to one of those sleek powerful sports cars >w< The battling was pretty great, and the final showdown was EPIC!!! If you haven't watched it yet and like dragonball z, its a few years after the Majin Buu saga and absolutely worth the watch (though the time issue is a bit weird as it looks like Trunks and Goten haven't aged a day >w>) and there is a special appearance from four characters, three from way back in the day and one from the later series ;D you'll see and squee and be delighted hopefully! lol!

SO YEAH!
That has been my updates on things going on!
to sum up:
-commissions need to be inked
-pondering quitting on the Watches Thanks pics
-possibly going to make a YCH piece
-Dragonball Z Battle of Gods gets a "HNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!!!" out of 10 :P
I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Much love guys! <3

 Toast435 is in need of money for groceries, they prefer commissions but are appreciative of donations as well =3

this delightful folk  filthycasualsheep is holding a giveaway for a very low price for adoptable characters. The trick is to fill out a questionnaire of which one, their name, and a back story!
its really fun and I am going for several myself! some more now for this shameless advertisement <w< lol! I hope to see some friends take home a delightful character here! ^w^

As of 4:00pm or so, I'm 26!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Frosty...!
Your scanner is completely broke! XD lol!
dang...ah well, still turning another year older today -w- hoping for a good 'nother year! ...maybe some cake >w> hehehe
Much love, guys! <3

~Frosty

Okay, so I was going to post up a picture involving the whole 360 watches, since I was stupid slow with the 300 w. picture and I have been a long-time avid fan of my 360 elite, which I often call my baby ^w^ hehehe
But then I find out I have 394
394...OWO okay, maybe that's actually much better!
hmm...maybe I should just do a late batch of all these things...when my scanner is back up and running.
That's right guys, sadly my scanner is a bit broke in a vital spot. It still works, I just can't upload images to my computer anymore ;w; well...maybe, i'd have to do further testing, but its looking like its spiraling towards failure and need of replacing.
I'll try to work on it once more for a potential trade (you know who you are ;D) and then if it doesn't work, I'll just replace the poor thing.
BUT YEAH!
Moving on!
Holy cow, I have a lot of watches! I feel so weird about it, like 394 people are looking at my work and liking it! I can't even imagine my close friends and family liking my work! XD lol! You guys are so wonderful and I deeply appreciate your supporting presence. It pushes me to a bit better than I was when drawing yesterday.
So yeah! thank you all so much, and I'll post a journal again if I find out I have to close commissions and all (save the crap digital stuff >w< hehehe) later :3

much love, guys <3

~Frosty

First off, I want to thank everyone of the 347 people watching me! you guys are the best! <3 and you're very welcome to literally everyone who has thanked me for watching them (which is a massive number of folks, btw >w>)

Okay, while I have recently finished a test in college, and am preparing for more next week, and am going through some weird stuff in the noggin...I've decided its time to attempt to better that which is my life's practice, to draw!
And so, I have decided that this side of the soulquest is to open myself for commissions...again! XD
And the answer is yes, yes those who still have commissions I owe them (I am SO Sorry its been so long guys, please message me a reminder! I'll also remessage you on notes for anything so we can discuss if you still want to go with it.) will go by original pricing.
I know what you're thinking "frosty, how does upping your prices help anything!?" Well, its two thoughts really: 1 is that I feel if I am actually going to get a profit I might be able to improve in effort, morale, quality, speediness, and all that good shit!
2 is that if I actually start getting something more than a dollar per sketch, I can maybe save up and have actual money for stuff! this includes art supplies, food, toiletries, buying commissions from other artists to aid the artist economy, and maybe one day a freaking digital pad even! *sighs* one day...

anyways! I hope you consider me for one of your future commissions! I will do my best to give you the results you desire! I am still open for art trades as well, so if you're interested there, hit me up too! :D

Much Love, guys! <3

This is the journal entry of one  Renegadius who is trying to raise money to help their friend who is suffering from cysts in the abdominal regions of their body! Please read, pass this on, and maybe send a lil money their way for a friend in need!
Much love, guys <3

Renegadius' page http://www.furaffinity.net/user/renegadius/
The Original Journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6594783/
And here's the journal as well:
After several months of stomach pains following an appendectomy, my friend has discovered that her pain has been caused by cysts which have to be surgically removed. She cannot afford to take the time off to get the procedure done herself, and so I can only try and raise enough money to support her during this time of need. Her job is quite labour-intensive, and the longer she works, the more she will continue to rupture cysts and cause herself great abdominal pain. All proceeds raised are going to go directly towards getting these damned things removed, and will be incredibly appreciated during this time.

Anything and everything that can be spared will be amazing!
Please direct funds to this paypal, listed below, so that we can all help her out!
Paypal: wintergarde.arts[at]hotmail.com

You can also check out a YCH Belly Badge Fund Raiser that will be going on here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16106955/
Male characters, fuller bodied, and anyone else's characters can also apply!
I will customise each badge to whichever specifications I need to in order to make your character fit comfortably!

The job is never finished until you are 100% satisfied!
I pledge to do my absolute best in order to help my friend the most, and leave you absolutely happy with your Belly Badge!

so yeah! I've been doing a lot since I got the fursuit...and I bet we're all wondering where the hell any updates for furaffinity have been? XD lol!
but yeah! so I'll be posting up pics and giving links to video, and I hope everyone here enjoys them just as much as the wonderful friends have on youtube and facebook! =D
here's a link to both!

~Frosty T. Wolf

I know I'm not posting a ton of art very often, but your watches do mean the world to me!
and to everyone who I watch and they say thank you: I know I don't respond to everyone, but I am so glad you guys care about my admiring your fantastic pieces =3 You're very welcome, and I hope you guys enjoy mine hopefully ^^
And thank you guys who watch me so much! I was going to try to post a 300 post, but I lost a couple views XP lol! shows me I may need to post more, and I hope I can keep it up for you guys :3
I love you guys, everyone, so very much!
Do take care

details from the furson in the link =3

this wolfy made his way to Ohayocon with wife and friends, and hooooooo boy! XD
My body is aching, my funds are spent, and I had the best time there! met some awesome artists and fursuiters and cosplayers and, well, just about every kind of fan XD played some games, chatted up folks, got sweet pictures, I even got to meet the voices of Zim and Girr! dear god, former's voice X) I couldn't stop smiling, heheh!
but yeah, I was gone all weekend and back in cold reality now, a lil sick so I had to skip College today -~- the memories from con, though, are helping I think ^^
I'll be posting up some things I got from there, as well as maybe take the sicky day to doodle or some shit -w-
so how's everyone else's weekend go? Did anyone else go to Ohayocon? :D would've been awesome to pass one of my watchers by! XD lol! I know this first con for me got me wanting to go to lots more, even if my body feels like its been wrecked at a boot camp XD lmao!

Have a good one guys!

Well hey there folks! happy 2014!
From what I hear its the Chinese year of the horse, which excites me to no end...February :P
For this month, however, I have a lil something else planned ;3
On my Facebook page, I have tried to start a thing for "Game of Thrones month" for January, and I got an idea as I posted up my favorite house!
Who here would like to start drawing, writing, composing, or whatevering art for their favorite houses in Game of Thrones with me in a big ol' month long adventure into the George RR Martin-made Westeros lore!? =D
Now, no one has to, but I would be delighted, and if you have a facebook page you can share it up on there too to get the month going!
So what do you say, great furry artists all?
mine is Steffen Lloyd Shure (it'll have the House Lannister Colors flying with all the excited posts :P) if you want to contact me on there ^^ I'll be sketching up whatever from the series or original stuffs :3
Here's hoping the best for you guys in this new year!

~Ice

to anyone interested I need a picture made of my fursona, an anthro North American Grey Wolf with glasses and blue eyes ^w^
I would absolutely love to find an artist who would be okay with making a head-shot in some cutesy fashions =D
I'd make it myself but I really would love to have a beautiful piece by another artist in all honesty (and clearly the artist would get full credit for doing it :P) ^^
Now...here's the problem >.>
I'm kinda broke atm, and so sorta can't pay in any monetary way. I'm A-Okay with art trades or offering a butt-load of gift art as thanks, or maybe paying back later. So I'm kinda hoping to find an artist who is okay with any of those conditions of payment instead of instant moneys.
So...is anyone maybe interested in my watchers? or maybe you guys know someone who would be? perhaps hit them up and send them my way? I would be VERY Overly-appreciated the likes of which you could barely imagine X3
well, if not, that's cool and if so, HALLELUJAH THANKS! XD lol!
either way, thanks for your time guys.
~Ice

So far here's what's been going down:
-Got back from a Cruise :3
-got my first art doodling for someone else being started in a long while
-trying to recollect some of the arts that were supposed to be made that got damaged a while back, so I can recreate
-got poke'mon X and Y
-finally hung out with my friend Radd, played some Halo 4 and kicked much ass :P
-finally made a half-decent piece on Microsoft Paint
-now torn between getting and not getting ESO for either ps4, xbox 1 or pc X3
-finally decided the fursona for ME (its a grey wolf, btw ^w^)
-gonna meet up with my mom and stepdad
-finally called my Dad =3
-planning house preparations for winter
-working my way out of artistic rut-field X3
-catching up with online comics :P
-finally found out my grades in school (spoiler: they could be better)
-trying to get my grades better X3
-finally organizing my game stuffs so I can get it ready for publication :D

I know it probably doesn't look like a lot, but if you knew my screwed up head, its quite stressful XP so hopefully I can get some order in all the chaos and actually make progress in life :3
So how's everyone on here? what are you all up to? it can be little or big, anything you find significant no matter what ^^
much love guys <3
Ice

this was just so funny I couldn't refuse XD lol! anyways, here's the link! have fun :D
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11661426/

First and foremost, this fine artist  Cynn. is offering free icons for whoever they feel like :P
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5009869/
there is the link, I'm personally hoping my belusaurus gets a shot, but I hope for everyone else as well :D

...so now that that's all over, I have a question about morals and mannerisms with artists.
You see, I found a page with a fantastic sounding artist, beautiful work, and all that other lovely jazz. I looked over at the comments and saw some very touching messages, as well as seeing that the last picture...well, was a farewell. They died a bit ago, so I'm not giving any names out of respect. But that's just it. As well as wanting to be respectful, and out of the love of the pieces on the page, I decided to put them on my watch list. Is it a good thing or bad thing to put a departed fur's page on your watch? I don't expect any updates, obviously, but I really wanted to show my support in some way to this beautiful artist, even if they have passed on. I'm feeling mixed, and was hoping I'd get an answer on here.

Also for note, school's doing well, I completely forgot I'm 24 and not 23 which was hilarious a little, I've enjoyed a bunch of new movies and been heavy on the youtube (like being introduced to the gamegrumps, jontron, and a bunch of awesome bronies :D), I'm still not able and still dreaming of a fursuit, my art is coming along slowly and slower in fact due to school, and... umm...
OH yeah! I recently created another ttrpg! this time it was inspired by Dust: An Elysian Tail. I'm going to post some pics from the game soon, and was wondering if anyone might be interested in participating in some kind of chat/gaming session =3 I think you guys might like it, at least I hope ^^
well, that's all from your dino-brony here :P peace be with you guys, much love <3
~Ice

guys, I've got some shitty news.
an accident happened at home and just about all my papers got soaked to the point of permanent damage =(
piles of my rpg papers and...yes, your guys' work were lost...
So what does that mean? well, for those who I was doing commissions for, I'm going to have to cancel out on you guys with sincerest apologies :( however, I will try to redo your works, and since its been taking so long anyhow, it'll be no charge for you ^^
as for the art traders, it might be a bit longer for your pieces as well, though since our exchanges are less based on cash and more towards inspired material, I figure its not as big a thing here X3
but yeah...shit...
I am so sorry about this guys, I feel like the worst over it =(

well, besides that sad update, not a lot else has been going on over here, I've had a swell if not sweltering summer, and am a bit excited for school coming up :3
much love you guys <3

yeah...I'm real terrible with that kind of title and crap, but look! Birthday! yay! XD
no big plans atm, couldn't afford anyways, maybe a friend'll stop over after work if luck has it, or I'll have a nice long walk or just sitting in...all day...again...lol >w<
well anyways, hope everyone has a good day! celebrate it like it was your birthday :D do that everyday in fact! XD lol!

also, broke 200 watches so far :D thank you all for having such interest in my sporadic gallery X3 lol! I hope you guys have a great one! <w<...and girls, though I had no gender specifcs intended with "you guys"...wow I'm kinda out of it atm XD lmao!
okay okay, I'm out, much love you guys!
