Hey Guys!
Posted 7 years agoAlright, I know it's been over a year since I've posted any art...which is really freaking sad on my part...
But some things have come up and I could use your help.
If I were to open small commissions, would you guys be willing to pay by making donations to help my boyfriends cat??
He's hurting financially, but he's wanting to make sure his girl gets the help she needs!
Or, if you wouldn't mind donating anyway, that would be fantastic! Every little bit can go a long way!

Update
Posted 8 years agoSo, this passed weekend I was able to attend TFF, and I had SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME.
It was definitely a nice break from normal life, and hell, I kinda wish it could've been longer...but I have next year to look forward to! [And hopefully a new suit!!]
I got to see and hangout with some awesome peeps too! And I saw people I wasn't expecting to see too! Just overall...it was awesome.
Being around so many artistic people and seeing so much art kinda got me into an art kick that I'm hoping to continue. I love drawing, it's just been rough for a while.
I am now SERIOUSLY considering doing commissions, because I really would like to bring in some extra money as well as draw! And everyone knows money can be a great incentive!
I'm going to figure out what I'm going to start with and how much I'll charge, but it looks like I'll start off with busts/headshots in the beginning and work my way up from there!
SO
If any of you are interested, just keep your eyes open! <3

Big thanks to these people for making my TFF weekend amazing and to the people I got to see who are just awesome. lol

Posted 9 years agoI know I've been pretty dead here lately, but I've been busy with school and work...and a bit of avoiding being on my laptop.
I want to get the art flowing again, but I'm having such difficulty, and I'm getting irritated and upset with myself that I'm not producing anything, or if I do, I don't finish it.
I need to change that. Art used to be something I really felt like was my happy place, not a chore...but now it's feeling like a chore, and making me want to do it less. And that mentality is unacceptable.
I've gotten a PayPal setup, but I'm not exactly sure how it works. I've used it a couple of times to send money, but it has been a VERY long time since then.
I've been wanting to try to actually do a few commissions, but I don't really think anyone would be truly interested, but I'm putting it out there! I just need to learn how to work PayPal...and not exactly sure how to start with that.
I'd do SFW art, from sketches to lined/coloured/shaded, and start out with maybe 2-3 commissions. Unsure of prices right now.
You'd need to be patient with me, since I am juggling school and work, and I'd draw in my free time [which is honestly usually at night]. But I'd get it done.
Money is kinda a good incentive.
Especially when I'm trying to save up to move out and pay some bills. lol
But I just wanted to see if anyone would be interested!
Thank you for being patient with my absence! <3Sorry
Posted 10 years agoI'm sorry that I haven't been too active lately.
I've been busy with a lot of bullshit.
I got into a car accident in the beginning of the month on the same day I was leaving to go visit my boyfriend. I'm okay though. Both of us walked away with no injuries. [and I got a rental car and still went to see my boyfriend for the weekend]
He ran the red light and t-boned me on the passenger side of my car. He hit me hard enough to turn my car to face the opposite direction I was going. Everyone is pretty surprised that I didn't get hurt because of how hard he hit me. He was probably going anywhere between 45-55 mph.
ANYWAY.
He's saying it was my fault. Even though I had been sitting at the light waiting for it to turn green, even the cars on my left were completely stopped...I barely got up to 15 mph....AND The police records show he was clearly at fault.
So.
Yeah.
Dealing with his bullshit. 65 year old asshole.
And so far, it's not official, my car is going to be totaled, so I'm having to shop for a new car.
OH, AND HIS INSURANCE ISN'T ANSWERING MY CALLS SO THAT I CAN LEAVE A STATEMENT FOR THEM. :I
Then work has been trying my patience and wearing me down the passed couple months.
One of my managers has decided that she's going to start treating me like I don't know how to do my job. She's coming and checking on me, making me lists of things to do [stuff that I've been doing for almost 2 years now, every Goddamn week]
She used to be my friend, but she's really a shitty friend...She's kind of a force acquaintance now. She's lost all my respect/patience.
There's a lot more, but I'd rather not get into it.
Anyway.
I haven't really been inspired to do anything.
If I sketch, I don't really get anywhere.
I'm stressing about all of that, then the thoughts of moving out, some of my relationships with people...and just...I'm letting it get to me and I shouldn't be.
So.
Yeah.
Just wanted to apologize for my lack of activity and to give y'all a bit of an update, I suppose.

Posted 10 years agoI'm going to try and make it to at least one day of TFF this year. It'll be my first time going to this sort of convention, and I'm kind of excited if I can make it!
I'm waiting to see if I'll have my suit in time for TFF, because I'd LOVE to be dressed up while I'm there!
Maybe one of my friends can go with me too! It'd be super fun!
SO
I guess I'll let y'all know if I wind up going or not!

Considering
Posted 11 years agoSeriously considering taking commissions. Nothing fancy with backgrounds or anything.
But I'm kind of wanting to draw in some extra money...
Still don't know how much I'd charge, honestly. I'm still thinking about it.
I have to figure out PayPal too....mer
Opinions?

BRIEF SKETCH REQUESTS-CLOSED
Posted 11 years agoTo elaborate, comment within an hour [8:00pm - 9:00pm / CENTRAL]
Doing this again, all that I receive within the hour, I will try to get to. If I don't, I apologize, this is more of a way to get me to loosen up and possibly get me drawing more.
All sketches will be posted on one canvas.
Just provide references. [and Species would be nice to know too, so that I know what I'm aiming for.]

Update
Posted 11 years agoSo, uh, obviously I've been quite dead art wise lately....mostly because I'm at war with myself mentally about my art.
I've been doing sketches here and there, but I'm just so dissatisfied with everything I do lately. This has been going on for a while now, and I know it'll eventually pass. I'm just frustrated.
I'm frustrated at my current skill level.
I know I have to practice and learn to improve, but even with doing that I get so tired of looking at my drawings.
I'm not going to stop, no, most definitely not; art is too big of a portion of my life just to cut it out.
I love drawing, it makes me happy.
I've just reached a point where it's rarely making me happy. I don't know if it's because I'm tired from working or what...
I'll try to upload some in the future, but don't expect anything big coming from me for a bit...unless I hit an opening to being able to not frustrate myself as much. Haha
So
uh, yeah. I thought I'd let you guys know if y'all cared. lol

I'M BACK
Posted 12 years agoAND I DIDN'T DRAW A DANG THING REALLY.
My niece kept me from drawing [she's only 20 months old] and any time I'd get my sketchbook out, she'd climb up onto the couch with me and try taking my stuff, or started rolling on me.
I couldn't go to my room, cause she knew how to open doors...the door didn't have a lock, and it also didn't latch...SO.
I would try drawing at night, and by then I was already exhausted...definitely not used to having a baby around.
My sleep schedule is all over the place.
but uh
yeah
I am back. uwu

Jus' Talking
Posted 12 years agoSo, I really wish I could go to Anthrocon, but I don't currently have a suit [I know you don't NEED one, but.. xD] AND I wouldn't have the money to even make it up to Pittsburgh right now anyway.
I just wish I could go.
I mean.
I'm gonna be in Pittsburgh in August for two weeks visiting my brother and his family, but you know, that's August, not this weekend. xD Haha
Hopefully, though, whenever TFF rolls around, I'll be gettin' my bigbutt over there for that con! I've never been to a furry convention, and I think it'd be pretty fun! :D
I've been to Akon and Afest, which are awesome, but obviously isn't the same xD
[It is so dang hard to spot any fursuiters at those conventions...]
I'd like to meet more furs in person and make more fur-friends. :)
but this is really just a random journal.
cause I feel like it.
If y'all randomly wanna talk to me, feel free! I'm up for makin' new friends! :D

Possible Commissions?
Posted 12 years agoWhile I'm in the search of another job, I've been trying to decide if I want to take a few commissions and actually MAKE myself draw them, so that I can build up a little more cash in my pocket!
I don't know how many people would actually be interested or not, but I thought I'd put my thoughts out there?
I have NO idea what I'd price things either! xD I'm horrible with putting prices on things. Haha
Probably won't be doing things with backgrounds for a while though, until I get comfortable enough with them >D>
But it's
something I'm thinking about
so
yeah
justputtin'thatoutthere
