Greetings everyone!
I know I haven't done much at all for my page but it's because I just don't have the motivation to do art anymore and it deeply saddens me cause I really need to provide a decent amount of stuff at my table for RMFC. Hopefully I can get one of my projects finished before hand otherwise I'll have to sell older stuff that I have done months ago but I'll also be providing badge and at the con commissions more then likely small commissions nothing too big cause I would have to take those home and I'm worried I would lose my mojo once more after the con. orz
I won't bail out cause I don't wanna leave my favorite mafia member  draga03 hanging by the thread and just having her do her own table...but I'll more then likely just only be an assistant for next year's con that way I won't have to worry about scrambling to get stuff done at the very last minute including getting my hands on the tax IDs.

Second note, I'll be moving out at the end of this month! Which means that this month will be pretty busy for me then the next thing I know, it'll already be RMFC and I'll be in panic mode. None the less though I am excited to move out and I'll be closer to all the really close friends in the city. Due to me moving and scouring for a newer high paying job (since fast food places can only pay you so much), I'm quite saddened that I will not be suiting this year's fur con cause I simply will not have the funds in time to purchase the materials. I only have enough to make two cosplays which will hopefully be done for NDK at the very least.

Third and final, I haven't really been myself lately and I've been trying to force myself to go into a shell and away from people but there are some that I can't stay away from because I thirst for that friendship or company or...whichever you call it. Been in a emotional wreck but I haven't really told anyone cause it'll be just another burden on their shoulders, haha... I'm sure I'll spring back in time but just gotta take it easy for now. And the last thing is that I'm on the edge of switching back and forth between my ragdoll sona, Hyung and my undead ram sona, Cloppin cause lately I've been more towards being Cloppin and he may not be as fuzzy and soft as Hyung but he's quiet and kinda a grump pants who has a ram booty. I dunno his design is screaming at my face to switch over to him so we'll see.

Guess that's pretty much everything that I have to say for now. Maybe I'll upload another journal before RMFC hits this year.

But I can't....orz Limited icon use on the front profile pages. ;;
Do anyways large update! Even though it will be in a shortish journal. XD Um first off I did manage to find a place to stay for awhile hopefully for a few years! Cause I would like to settle into one home for a good amount of time ya know? That way it can feel more like 'home'. My new room mate will be  roguewolfclaw who is a really cool guy but just very quiet and always wins at Mario Kart. owo;
Still trying to get that art motivation going but it's tough. I'm sure I'll have enough to offer at my table but not as much as I hoped for.
I'm moving into Aurora which means that any peeps that live in that area I will have much easier access to hang out and other shenannigans! Also this will mean that I'll be closer to my beautiful Wah ( sibertyger) and just sliiiiightly closer to the Springs....okay not much but still!
But yeah I suppose that's about it other then seeing a lot of  karmaai's little gang often. :3 I'll be attending to the VI meets more often as well so look forward to that!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful evening!

Hey there everyone! Happy holidays and hope you all had gotten wonderful gifts and good food! :D I had a pretty alright holiday, got mostly gift cards. xD
On a side note I would love to ask my watchers what you would like to see be sold at my art table! I have several things I would like to sell and will be sharing it with  draga03 for RMFC of next year and on top of that submitting for the con book contest!  draga03 will NOT be offering NSFW stuff on her side of the table but I will so all you pervy furs out there you can grab some nummy prints and what not. ;D
As of currently I have so many plans for next year mostly with the medical changes for myself transitioning into a man. And working on my secret suit for this upcoming A-Kon which is held in Dallas, TX. I'll be posting the finished photos of my cosplay and crossing my fingers that I finish it on time! ;A; I will also be doing something super special with  areddpanda (the awesome roomie) start of next year and hopefully will be successful with this plan! As for commissions I'm still figuring out my new prices and trying to get into the gear of providing worthy examples. My prices will defintely go up higher because well...ya can't have a hungry artist that only has a part time job and needs to pay for rent and other super important stuff. Commissions can be upon request but I have my tiny kitty paws full of all these projects that I need to get done. :c I can offer small deals but that's about it.
Thank you kindly for looking and if I don't update around the New Years, have a great wrap up for this year!

- Dean

I'll go ahead and join the bandwagon! :D so if anyone feels generous, here's what I want:

- New headset (for gaming)
- Art (or art for my friends and roomie  areddpanda)
- Art supplies (I can always use those)
- Men's clothes (don't have enough lol!)
- or just anything else you can think of. :3 Love you all!

ALSO! My poor room mate  areddpanda got into a car accident tonight and I think she's okay but she went to the hospital and I'm extremely worried that I can't concentrate on any art for awhile. Here's her journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6337033/ and please send her your wishes, thoughts, prayers. ):

This is a pretty personal journal but I thought I go ahead and let everyone know!
Starting next year I'm going to see a therapist to get started on my transgender process. It has taken me so long and so many confusing months to fully figure out if this is what I truly want and it is. I hope by the time I hit 30, I will become full fledged man. I am still figuring out what name I would like to legally change it too because "Jin" is a genDer neutral name and I would like something more masculine. I deeply appreciate all the support and the love I have received from my friends. My family...I know for a fact will never accept something this big of a change and it does hurt to know this fact but I need to love for who I am and I know that I have enough support from friends to get through my life. Thank you all for reading and for the amazing support! I hope everyone has a radical holiday this season!

In case if something goes wrong you all can find me on this site.

Calling all fellow artist that have sold art! I would like some help on what site I can make custom keychains/phone charms with my art! I've looked on Redbubble but I haven't spotted anything like that in their options.

Who will be going to either of these events? I'm gonna try and go for both of them since the Howl-o-ween is during the evening and ROTL con is for the weekend, they fall on the same date(s). With little time I have on my paws(hooves), I'm hoping to get something done at least for the pony con! I was thinking of doing a fleece hoodie of one of my favorite ponies. :3 Comment if you plan on going!
- Jin

Hey all! I'm gonna go ahead and close off my commissions and I won't open them again until I update my price guide! I am still working on my two current commissions but I will bringing up my prices at a higher cost because I firmly believe that I'm underselling myself as an artist and should charge more for the skills of my works. I will also be working on personal projects like getting my second fursona's proper reference sheet up and running and working on prints/fanart/whatever for next year. I will be open for trades but they will be open only if I offer to do one with an artist. I apologize for the inconvience! Been going through a lot cause of mostly work which is suuuuper exhausting. Gonna look for a better job hopefully much closer! That's pretty much the basic shenannigans. Now off to have breakfast with roomie!

Hey there peeps! Sorry I haven't been so active on here. Ever since I moved in I've been working almost non stop at my new job. Truth be told, I absolutely hate it there. No one gives a flying crap about me and they don't bother to train me properly then get fustrated with me simply because this is my first cleaning job. I will admit that I've almost broken down into tears during work because my body couldn't keep up and I wad getting incredibly exhausted
I've even considered quitting. But I absolutely need the money! I just gotta grit my teeth and hang tight till I can stay long enough to apply for a different position. This job prevents me from seeing people because I end up being so exhausted during the day time and conk out till the sun goes completely down. This job is also the reason why I haven't done any artwork. I'm really hoping to get some stuff done this weekend like commissions and a head start on my upcoming suit! So that I can do trades with people and even possibly change up my prices for my commissions. >: I will try to attend future meet ups if I see one pop up or if I'm invited because meet ups are always nice! :D But you gotta do what you gotta do to keep up with bills and food wise especially if it's a pretty decent paying job.

I just realized that NDK is next weekend! Not that I care too much but I'm gonna see if I can possibly go for at least Saturday. So if you wanna see me at the con just look for an Asian person wearing a corgi kigu...since I don't have any copay this year. XD; I'm just gonna go to catch up with friends and heck maybe even run into some of the furs I met at RMFC!

On a much more personal note, lately I've been questioning my own gender. Maybe I'm just a lesbian that really likes to wear men's clothing. I know I still have plenty of time in my life span to figure this out...but I have my feminine moments and even though my masculine self shows more out in public, I still like my biological self from time to time. Heck maybe I'm even gender fluid. I'm still figuring all this out and I do deeply apologize to those who are confused about this whole ordeal with me. ):

Enough about me though! How has everyone been so far?

At long last I finally moved in with  areddpanda! :D I have the majority of tomorrow free other then unpacking my car but if anyone wants to try and hang with me that would be totally rad! Looking forward to living in the city!

So last night I received a commission from  strider69 \o/ so that's two commissions I gotta tug through! Spending my final days in the Springs packing up my car and working my last two days at my current job (kinda super excited to start my new job). Been going through some serious questions about myself, already crushing hard on people that I've met at RMFC though I ain't telling mostly because I just don't want to embarrass myself ;n;
Moving in with  areddpanda and defintely gonna try my absolute best to help her out since she's going through a really tough time with financial issues at the current moment. Hang in there babu!!!
On personal artsy stuff I've finally decided on my second fursona so hopefully I can get them up and running and to also fix up the purple on Hyung...which really shouldn't be taking me so long but it is. Dx I unfortantely have zero time to hang out with Colorado Springs people because my final day off from work I need to head up to Denver to get some things done and Friday is my last work day cause Saturday I'm officially moving out. Ugh! Life can be complicated sometimes....most of the time. @_@;
I hope everyone has been doing well!

Go watch it. It's a freaking cool show and you'll be one of the cool kids. c:

Hey everyone! Got my living situation solved and will be moving to Denver either on the 30th or 31st. Someone from the furry community on FB was kind enough to let me live with her till I get to move in with Springdragon! I also have a job interview this Thursday at a casino as a housekeeper so fingers crossed if I get the job! Its gonna be a bit of a drive but as long as the pay is good I should be okay. More then likely take the bus up there daily so that I don't waste all my gas. XD
I will miss some people in the Springs....mostly my bestest two buddies!  draga03 Redtigervii (DA) hugs and kisses to you both! But the rest of the Springs so long and farewell! :'D thanks for being useless and having awful job opportunities! Denver will more then likely be much better and looking forward to living there!
Thank you everyone who tried to help me in my dire situation! :heart: as for commissions I will get back to them once I've settled down with both the new place and a job. I do apologize to all my commissioners! ;;

Hey everyone who is local in Colorado, I am in a dire situation starting tonight! Unfortantely due to some many issues, my room mates are kicking me out at the end of this month. I don't have a place to stay until around November when I move in with . Any help for housing would be super helpful until then and I am willing to help pay rent! I have a part time job to help me with money. I do have other bills to pay off but I can't really move back with my parents cause they believe that I'm an adult and that I need to do my own issues. Please if anyone is willing to lend out a paw for me I would REALLY appreciate it!!!
- Jin/Hyung

Hey everyone! It was amazing seeing everyone at the con and I met so many people! I mostly spend my time in the Dealer's Den cause I wasn't really interested in any of the panels. I helped a lot with table which was very awesome to do! I kinda became a bum behind their table...haha bum. (they know what I'm talking about. xD ) I had an amazing time with for the majority of the con! They were all very wonderful people and I'm very lucky to have such amazing friends! I do hope that I can hang out with the Denver furs more often cause I already miss everyone! ;A; Thank you everyone for such an amazing experience and I hope to open up my own table with next year! <3 Feel free to comment on here if you ran into me at the con!
