I haven't been active in months. o.o Woah. Didn't think I was that bad xD

Anyway, I'm thinking it might be good if I try to get back to cranking out art as best I can. So, I'll try and get back to what I love when I'm not in a massive art block. owo

And about 3 months ago, I /kinda/ got myself a boyfriend. His name is Stephen or Steve, and he's amazing and very good to me. Unlike most others I dated, he's loyal to me and loves me through it all, good and bad. I don't think I could ask for a better partner and I think this has a fighting chance of lasting. If it lasts till he moves closer to me, we might just get an apartment together and live together in a few years. I actually look forward to tackling him at the airport. <3


Anyway, not dead. Just sleeping a bit while I try to get a good enough picture to upload xD

I apologize for the lack of art lately.
I've been a bit.. preoccupied.

I've just been drawing when I can traditionally and working on digital when I have too much time on my hands. I actually have two drawings I'm working on currently. I joined an RP server on Minecraft and made some new friends, one of which I enjoy talking to off and on throughout the day.

My Easter was good. I got like 5 packs of Peeps, Jelly Belly's, and a small bag of chocolate. owo A few weeks ago, I got to meet a YouTuber I look up to over Skype with some friends. I was up till 5 am, but it was so worth it. I was a happy little fangirl all the next day. A few days later, a few friends of mine got promoted to Demi-Mods on the Minecraft server I play on.

I think that's about it really. I've been well, guys. Just preoccupied and haven't had much time for art lately.

Go give her some love, guys! She's been a real sweetheart lately.

Story time!
So if you haven't already heard, my beloved mate left me exactly one week before Christmas. I've had a rough time coping with it since. I got my own Minecraft a few days into the new year and I focused a good deal of my attention into a Minecraft server I play on. I was eventually introduced to TeamSpeak by one of the moderators, Cami, and I soon made quite a few friends. At first, I didn't feel like I belonged, but I soon befriended a girl by the name of Wolfos and a guy known as Dorito. I stuck around them for the most part and I met my little sissu, Vee, along with Sora, Fax, Okami, Torch, and Keiran. I've been building more and working on what I can since Rob left. And I've been talking to what friends I made over TS and what friends I have over Tumblr and Skype. And along the way, I developed a small crush on someone, who I will not share the name of or where I know them from. I've been having a hard time talking to them, but it's out of my shy nature really. And my depression has been worse lately, so the other day, commissioned me for a badge and made my day. I remember just being a total fangirl to my friends I talk to regularly and it made others happy to see me like that. And a few days ago, I found out my crush has a crush on someone, so I've been nervous about my feelings, for fear that it's not me. And today, I've been really depressed like on many other occasions, and she commissioned , who is also my big sissu, for a picture for me with Lewis EVERYTHING----> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15620647/ And it just made my entire night. I'm still at loss for words as to how shocked I am that she even commissioned her for that. I love it! I don't know how to express how grateful I am for her kindness lately since I've been going through some tough stuff.

So, go give her some love for me, guys. :3

I'm opening up money commissions for small things that don't take me long to make (meaning I can get one done within 1-3 or 4 hours if done without interruption).

Headshots are $1 a piece, with the option of having a bandana, collar, scarf, or necklace/dog tag around the neck.
Examples: 1 2 3

Badges are $2 a piece, with a choice of two formats: waist-high and shoulder-high. In the waist-high form, you have a choice of a top for your OC to wear or they can be naked in a SFW fashion.
Examples: 1 2

If interested, either note me or comment below with one of the following forms filled:
Badge form
Character (ref sheet):
Character Name:
Type of Badge:
Additional options/details:

Headshot form
Character (ref sheet):
Type of accessory around neck (what you want around the neck, if any):
Additional options/details:


For now, I'm opening 5 slots for these and I will adjust things as needed. :3

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

I will provide my Paypal once slots are filled and I will ask for buyers to send payment before I start their commissions.

I may have signed up for Paypal recently.

So I'll edit my prices and offer money commissions to anyone who wants one. They won't be very pricey. I'll simply price them by how long it takes to make them usually. >w<

That is all.

Just wanted to drop off a quick note that I am back from hiatus. I might be slow to upload art because I'm currently swapping out a character from my Christmas drawing, but I'll get it done and posted as soon as I can. It's been over a week now, and I feel stable enough to come back.  Spiritwhitewolf got me started on a coping method that really does help me when I feel depressed, alone, angry, etc. That method is making paper stars for my wish jar. Every time I make a star, I make a little wish for tomorrow to be better or whatever and put it into a jar (or tin for now, until I find myself a jar). Here's how to make paper stars: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14824685/ or this video if you prefer to see it be done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6MS4SAKOR0

I need a break for a while. I'm not going to say much about what happened.

All I'll say is I no longer have a mate.


I'll stop by when gifts for the holidays are done.

I got a cute Christmas icon ouo

https://trello.com/b/IpnmS9m1/commissions

I have a few things listed for public reference and a few things for my personal reference.

My queue is listed on there, both art and fanfiction.

As soon as I finish out my owed art, I would like to offer a few winter/Christmas/holiday art trades.

Would anyone be interested in one? I'll update you guys once I find a good time. Christmas music is helping me get my muse back for art. c:

I've taken a suggestion a good friend gave me and updated my T.o.S.
I've updated my commission payment methods, which means I accept not only points but also the trade of games on Steam for art. I've added that the normal value of the game will calculate how much artwork a commissioner is eligible to. I'm basing my prices on my dA prices, which is 100 points= $1.00.
I've also added on links to my Steam on my Art blog and a link to my Art Blog on my profile here. I'm trying to be more professional, so all my artist information is on there along with my procedures, like how I roll with art trades, requests, commisions, etc. If anyone needs information about those kinds of things, be sure to look there first before asking me, or I will forward them to it before discussing anything.

I have one now. :3

Add me if you want.

Back from hiatus.

It's my birthday now, the worst day of the year.
It's a reminder that I'm getting old that that my art still is sucky after 3 years of being in the fandom.
And it's nothing special anyhow. Nobody ever really remembers it.

Don't mind me, I'm just a little depressed about the matter at hand. I'll be even more depressed when November 13th comes.

I may be back in a week or I could be gone for quite some time. Depends on what happens this week. I'm so sorry guys. Everything is on hold until further notice.

Just a forewarning, once my sissubutt is ungrounded, I will be posting a crap-load of art for her on here. I may even share the folder on here from my stash on dA.

Here you go: http://angelhugz247s-art.tumblr.com/

I invested several hours in just typing up my Terms of Service and my policies about free art, art trades, and commissions.
I made different pages for most everything.

For information, go to the Artist Info section and I have a whole list of pages for you to pick from if you ever need anything from there. From now on, I think I'll make that my official place to look for my policies and T.o.S. so I don't have to write them out a million times. I will refer any potential commissioners to the blog prior to accepting any commission requests.

In the meantime, I'll slowly update my art blog until I'm up-to-date with my art posts.

Doesn't it bother anyone when they commission an artist and they get the character pattern wrong?

It's a pet peeve of mine. Like How can you screw up a character when you have a ref right in front of you?

I understand if an artist makes a mistake and offers to fix it, but if you ask them to fix it and they ignore you? That's wrong. It's art you're paying for so they should correct their errors if they happen to butcher your characters.

Rant over.

Yep, I joined Art Fight and I'll be working on some art for there whenever I'm hopelessly looking for new characters to draw. :3
Check me out!

Right when I need to vent, everyone I trust with this sort of stuff are all asleep. :/

I'm writing a research essay about furries and stereotypes about furries. If you could, please fill out this survey and you'd be helping me gather data for my essay.

I'm just at a place in my life that I just don't care.

Like, I care about my friends and family, but everyone else? I could care less.

I'm open to making new friends, but I'm cutting out the past from the present and my future.

I'm in the process of blocking and removing people who do bring me growth or happiness.

I'm just done with dealing with drama left and right. I will take control of my life from now on.

If I want someone out of my life, I will remove them from it.

My tolerance level is at zero, so do not be that person I have to remove from contact with me. I'm a nice person to be around, but once you've given me a reason to be mean, you're not going to be able to reach me.

I won't cause drama; I'll walk out the door.

In 3 months, I'll clean out people from irl.

Want to try to cause me drama? Good luck with that.
Want to write about me in posts? Go right on ahead.
Want to try to hurt me? Go on and try, but you'll never reach me.

I just really don't care anymore. I'm letting go of my past to make room for my future. I don't have time to be anything less than happy.

Tumblr, Minions, Frozen, Angry Gran Run, snow days, and getting to wake my wonderful mate in the morning.

After a night of depression, the littlest of things make today better, which I love.
