I have been a big fan of C. Martin Croaker since I was little, and watched Space Ghost coast to coast for the first time! He is the voice of both Zorak AND Moltar, and also voiced Zorak for of course Cartoon Planet and the Brak show.

He is not only a famous voice actor but also a very talented artist and animator that worked at cartoon network since the 90s! He has worked most recently on the famous show Aqua Teen Hunger Force!

Having taken classes with Joe Murray multiple times and getting to know some other people Clay and I became FB friends, and then recently we met in person at Dragoncon and became art friends! With the end of Aqua Teen Hunger Force he now has some time to take on extra work! This is a huge opportunity to get some amazing art from a renowned artist, and it would be a huge help!
I am helping him out, since I am such a big fan!

I am showing him the ropes around here on FA, so please go give him a warm welcome, watch his page, fave and comment on his amazing art, and of course above all:

Go Note him about commissions! His official price list will be up soon, and I will be helping him set up some livestreams, but now is your chance to get first in line! You guys won't regret it! His art is AMAZING! He can draw anything realistic to toony, human to animal and anthro, and there is Hardly ANYTHING he won't draw even pron and fetish art!

How cool is that?! Get Zorak to draw your porn! LOL

Lots of new shirt designs are coming out soon! I have a line of "Pawsplay" which are my pets in cosplay, and new spirit animal designs on the way! You can see the first design on my other account.

I have a small local vintage toy show I am selling at this weekend trying to unload a lot of stuff and make some extra money to put towards my business.

I am also working on sketches and trying to gather a pitch proposal for my graphic novel project! I know its been slow and I will reveal more as I can, and hopefully launch a patreon in the coming months which will also open up some livestream opportunities for those of you that have been waiting ever so patiently for me to start taking those on again.

My convention season is still in full swing but slowing down and once it does I should be able to work on knocking out the few commissions still looming over my head that I want to just complete.

On ANOTHER note, good news!! I personally may not be able to livestream in a bit, but for those of you that remember "Space ghost coast to coast" and "The Brak show" the voice of Zorak, C. Martin Croaker, who is also a strong animation talent and artist with my help may be livestreaming and taking commissions soon! He will be drawing Waffles in his style soon that I will share once completed so you guys can see how awesome he is! He has worked for cartoon network for years, and I met him at dragoncon and I will be helping him take on commissions and livestream like I do!

Keep your eyes posted as I will be announcing times and helping once he is ready!

Hey everyone! I'm not dead just preparing for cons like crazy! I miss all of you! I will be selling at Bronycon at table #410! If you'll be there come see us!

ALSO ever since we moved I still can't find my tablet pen for my large cintiq :( I'll have to buy a replacement but they run 60 to 80.00 so I can't livestream until I get a new one. I may be able to hopefully afford it after con season. I'll keep you all posted!

Don't forget to keep up to date as well and browse around on my new website

http://shottsyarts.com/

http://shottsyarts.com/

Everyone can now see my original art, and merchandise and blog on the brand spankin' new Shottsy Arts official website! It is still a work in progress with more tweaks and additions that will be made, but it is done enough to finally bring it to the light of day for all of you!

Please add it to your favorites bar and have fun browsing around my site! The official store where you all can shop online should be launched sometime in the fall, but you guys can see the product designs early there!

There is also now finally more about my graphic novel which will be updated on that site, and on my Patreon once it is launched ONLY, so that is more incentive to keep your eyes on my blog and website! Let me know what you guys think! There is also a special section where you guys can view all the past Waffles fanart from the FAC that was appropriate enough for my official site! Lots of old Big Horse art that he gave me permission to post there!

We are now looking for another roommate so please share this around if you know anyone in the ohio area that's looking and can meet the criteria! Find our ad below!

-Shottsy

Hey all! Been swamped trying to get work done! I will be selling my wares at Matsuricon this coming weekend in columbus, OH. Next is Youmacon in Detroit Michigan so for any local furs that want to come meet me in person and buy some art come to Shottsy Arts table! ALSO I may be going to Fur reality in Cinci Ohio in October. Haven't decided yet. They really want me there which is awesome. Just not sure how i'm going to swing it yet.

On another note, I have FINALLY given in and made a Tumblr. I am not quite sure how it all works, its a bit confusing, and I dont know how to comment or answer "notes" or even make them yet haha, but anyways, please show your support by following! You'll get to see a variety of my professional art there!

Hey everyone! I went ahead and FINALLY gave in and did it! I am stil not quite sure how it all works, or what I'm doing, but Shottsy Arts now has a Tumblr presence! Please follow us and reblog to show your support! http://shottsy-arts.tumblr.com/

Sorry I have been MIA. I can definitely use the livestream money, but its just been so hard to juggle everything AND prepare for the upcoming conventions. My mate is still out of a job and money has been really tight.. I am still a bit worried I won't be able to come up with the money for rent, but I've managed to sell some trading cards on ebay which has helped, but UGH it takes so long for funds to clear!

Had a family crisis a couple weeks ago, that I don't wish to go into at the moment. Things for the most part, for now, are working out. My grandma also had to go to the hospital and it isn't looking good, so please pray that she gets well for me :(

We have a bunch of new items and designs that will be displayed at Bronycon in Baltimore Maryland in just one week! If anyone plans on going stop by booth 106 Shottsy Arts- Twisted Tails! I miss you all and can't wait to get back to streaming full time! My website is also in process of being made you can at least go to the landing page now at shottsyarts.com!

-Shottsy

Keep your eyes out for my official stream announcement! Should be sometime this coming saturday! Hope to see you all there!


Come even if you can't commission for fun, entertainment and chat!

(If you want a livestream commission and these times are not good for you to attend please note me a better time and I can make a special appointment for you! )

As always info below!

Need moar money for rent and bills! Have to hit my goal 4 days before the first so I can transfer the funds! I will announce exact times but will most likely take a couple commissions tomorrow and wendesday and stream just for a few hours on both. Keep your eyes on my journal for set times!

Info Below:

All art will be submitted to my gallery, and all patrons will receive a full rez full scale copy of their purchase.

RULES:

-Livestream Commissions are done on a first come first serve basis, unless you have scheduled a specific time with me.

-I will be finishing your piece during the session so you MUST be there if you wish to purchase one of my special stream commissions.

-If for any reason you must step away during the stream once you have purchased a slot, please let me know you are stepping away and when you will be back, so I don't waste any time and can skip down to the next person in line.

-If you are not there when it is your turn and there is no one else to skip ahead to, I will be going ahead with your commission, and there will be NO tweaks or fixes, or edits unless you wish to pay an additional fee. My goal is to finish all commissioned art within a single session so each new stream starts new art and new pay. This is my job so I apologize if that sounds harsh, but time is money, and I need this to run smooth.

-When you ask for a slot in stream please tell me if you are from FA or Weasyl and, please send me only one note and include the following:

- What you are buying: Sketch, Linework, Flat, TF sequence?
- If TF sequence How many pages?
- Anthro or Feral Character?
-What is the Content? WG or regular?
- If you are a new client have your 'sona or character references sent, and also your email address you wish to use for me to send you your invoice. If you have a different email from the one you pay on that you wish to receive your art at, send that as well.
- If you are a returning client just have any new elements referenced for me if you want something to be specific like a prop or animal species.


If your piece isn't finished during the session it will be completed at the beginning of the next session. (if it spills over into a second session you may work out with me a special time for me to stream when you can attend again, and you will be first priority in next stream you are at.)

LIVESTREAM SPECIAL PRICES

NOTE: Livestream Special prices are cheaper than my off stream commissions. They are meant to be quicker and done within a session so expect your sketches to be looser and rougher. I don't do shading generally for livestream pieces, and the art will be more simplistic.

sketches-(Single Character Toony or Realistic)-10.00(Additional Characters or props 5-10.00 extra depending)
EXAMPLE

TF sequence sketches-(may be recommissioned to be in full color in the future discounted what already has been paid)[color=green]10.00per page. Single Character, not background or props up to my discretion. If you want to add props or backgrounds additional fees apply

TF sequence FLAT COLOR-(may be recommissioned to be in full color in the future discounted what already has been paid)45.00per page.
**NOTE: Final "TADA" flat color single char pic at the end of the sequence is just 30.00 as other flats, if requested.

Flat Color-(one character)30.00(20-30.00per extra character depending on full body or not)
Flat Color-REALISTIC(one character)45.00(25.00per extra character if not full body)
(35.00-40.00per extra character full body)[/center]

****DISCLAIMER: If you don't have any references and want me to "make up the character (not in every case, up to my discretion) be prepared to pay a bit more than the people who already have characters and references. Also be prepared to pay a bit extra if you request something overly complicated and specific that I am not used to drawing with added elements, such as specific kinds of clothing, or weapons etc. Prices will be discussed prior to your invoice being sent out for approval. All commissions must be paid right then and there in the stream up front before your piece can be started. Please have all funds available for paypal payments ready so as not to hold up the flow of the stream and other patrons. If your piece is not finished within the stream it is commissioned you are first priority in the next stream to which you are available.

Thanks all,
I look forward to seeing you all.

I just wanted to update everyone since it's been a bit! Lots has been going on lately and I have been crazy busy! I am in the final stretch with my Joe Murray class I have been behind due to life things. My mate and I are starting our very own art business complete with merchandise! We have also been making con going a more regular thing. More will be revealed soon, but as a little teaser we will soon be having a professional website, and our very own store! We will be offering my freelance services and an organized for for commissions aside from just on here, and We will also be offering a different sort of commission that will be in the form of t-shirts and messenger bags! So we look forward to opening up for that for all of you!

I am sure you all have heard here and there a little bit about this, but I am currently working on a huge longer term project which is a fantasy graphic novel! Joe Murray is very enthused about it, and I am currently working on a treatment pitch which will hopefully be finished very soon and if all goes well shown to Joe's agent! Much of it I am keeping under non disclosure at the moment, but know that there will be opportunities for some commissions to have your characters be extras in certain crowd scenes! For now I will only reveal the title for the whole series:

"The Color of Fire"



For all of those waiting on commissions I want you to know i have not forgotten you! I am going to be resuming as soon as I get this treatment in to Joe, and will be working on them in between my other responsibilities!

In order of completion will be as follows:

 tach0012
 joducus
 varghr

Again I am so sorry for the wait, and I am doing my best to get on track, and will be getting a more regular flow once things are up and running! Thank you all for being so supportive, and so patient! Because of your patience once our store is up and running, for the three of you, and a couple of my other regulars you will each get a couple special offers once our store is up!

-Shottsy

Well, I want to thank all of you for all of the support you have given me thus far. Things have been extremely stressful lately, and although we have been struggling for money. I finally put in my two week notice at my current job. I had been working with my family and have been there for about 3 years. Finally I have had enough. I put up with a LOT Of shit for a long time, dealing with what could at times be construed as verbal abuse, getting raged at, and becoming more and more stressed out. After having one last ridiculous blow up over a ridiculous situation that was unwarranted anyways, but then REALLY turned out to be unwarranted and having a horrible fight for no reason, I realized I don't deserve the shit I was taking. I don't want to get into all of the details on here, but if someone wants to know more you may note me. I will just simply say there were a lot of bullshit politics there, and I took a lot of shit for far too long because I needed the money. However, the job was killing me, making me crazy, and depressed, and killing my time to do what I love.

So, I am going to be throwing myself head first into doing my art full time, and it will be my main source of income. It is what I went to college for, and the only thing I actually know how to do and am good at. I am not cut out for other jobs, and don't even know how to do them. Therefor, I will be livestreaming more often because it is the only way I can survive right now. My specials will stay at the rate they are at for a while, while I finish up some backlog, work on some of my own personal art with which I can use for marketing etc. and get some things done for some of our upcoming conventions and trade shows.

After I am all caught up I will be back to doing more full detailed commissions, and my rates will have to raise slightly do to the professional rates, and my established business. Some products prices won't change such as flat colored icons, but more details such as shading will be being offered which will be more expensive. There will still be some specials and promotions here and there. I am counting on my loyal regulars and friends to help spread things around, perhaps help advertise etc. I am branching out and will be starting my own company with many different things and will be updating you on new products and other things we will be having available. ESPECIALLY equine themed art, with probably some dragons tossed in since those two things are my more prevalent specialties.

I am scared, excited, and nervous because this all is a huge risk, but I know I have the training, credentials, and talent to make this happen. I look forward to working with all of you more, and showing everyone some awesome new things!!

Hello all,

Me and my mate have been hard at work to work towards launching my own business and brand name. I have been working hard learning in a business class from none other than Joe Murray, and he has been a great help to me after me now taking a third class with him.

Shottsy Arts is going to be my new company and brand that is now just budding, and we hope it to be big in the near future. I am multi-talented and therefor we are going to have many different branches of my different kinds of art and products!

Shottsy Arts-Twisted Tails- is mainly themed for my wire sculptures that I create and sell! We have been to 3 conventions so far selling them, and have 3 more upcoming, and lots more in the future. If you want to know and see more of our fine wire sculptures please check them out here:

http://shottsy85.deviantart.com/gallery/4158847

And please like us on FB: https://www.facebook.com/ShottsyArts

We will be taking commissions of these in the future, but for now we are stocking for conventions. However, if we do still have some of these shown, and some not shown in stock that are for sale, so feel free to inquire if interested in one. Just be aware that they are solid all the way through, are pretty compact and heavy, and completely made out of 100% jewelry wire, so they are pricey.

We are also now also selling buttons https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?.....=1&theater
(soon we will also be adding magnets and keychains)- of my own styled work of fanart, my own characters, as well as custom buttons of your own characters, if you catch us at a con! In the future we will be available to buy these online as well, but for now we are making the con circuit which you can keep up to date with on our FB.

We have not thought of a "branch" name yet, but I will also still be taking digital commissions as well from the furry fandom and other. For the "fat fur art" I don't want it associated with a bunch of our other branches so I am not sure what we will be calling it yet, or if it will ever branch off of this site, (most likely not) but we may call it Majestic Strawberry- funny fat things. In honor of that goofy pic of Strawberry the dragon flying.

I am also still working on some animation, character designing, and my story that I hope to be a feature someday, that I may turn into a novel first.

We are also thinking of some merchandising, and toy design at LEAST for Waffles. I have already gotten a quote on a plush of him, that Joe is actually quite interested in, and wants to know if I will have made. That mainly depends on how much interest he garnishes. I will be happy to submit the prototype design soon!

I have been working hard on old backlog commissions and making some good progress on them.

I am trying to transition into doing my art full time and hopefully making a living off of It.

What does this mean for all of you?

As soon as I get through my last commissions I have to finish, and we get everything set and organized, I am planning to open up for large scale commissions again in addition to my livestreaming (which I will be doing more regularly).

I have finally hit a wall, and realized I just cant deal with being at my job much longer. I have been there 3 years, and it was great to have something that I could sort of work on my own work at the same time, and was laid back. It started out that way, but it is just hell now. It is also a horrible idea to ever work for family. I am at a crossroads, and art is my passion, what I went to school for, and hopefully with Joe's help I can get my goals mapped out and start on the road to success.

We could use your support! We could use your promotion, your patronage, and your loyalty which many of you have already given! I will need to start getting regular commissions to pay the bills, so please do help us get more notice, tell your friends, tell everyone! If they want high quality professional art of many kinds, to check us out! This is all a test to see how much interest we can get and whether or not we can garnish enough interest to sustain ourselves on our art alone! I am ready to chase my dream, and so far I have you guys to thank, and we hope we can make this happen! I have one year to get things up, running, and growing enough to support myself. My father has let me know that he will no longer be helping me by my next birthday, so I am jumping the gun and trying to get started.

Help our business grow! Each and every one of you is important to us!

Our prices will be reevaluated based on the illustration market, our credentials, and what our art is worth. There will still be some specials here and there, and some things will be the same price at least during livestreams, but not everything. TRUST US THOUGH, (as many of my regulars already know;) You get what you pay for! I have now had 3 classes going on 4 with Emmy Award winner Joe Murray who has created Rocko's Modern Life, I have a Bachelors in Fine Art, with a major in animation, We are quick, Diligent, and professional with our work, yet we take the time to make it the best we can! Our art is unique, with a distinctive "Shottsy" Style.

***I CAN draw in other styles, and for certain things am willing to here and there, but after one of my conferences with Joe, he explained how drawing in different styles can dilute my brand name, and the distinctive "Shottsy" style so we may be doing less of that, and more of my style. (unless called for for something like Gorbash fanart to be in that style for a commission or something just for FA)

Well My boyfriend, brother and I JUST got back from Animation and Gaming Con in Ohio. I am so exhausted, so I am going to be taking a couple days off, then getting back to work on all of my back work, as well as more sculptures for my other future cons. We made out pretty well, which really helped us with the Bust that was BAP. I am not sure if I updated about that. I will hopefully have time to go more in depth soon, as I need to actually let my hands rest. I have over stressed them apparently with working on my tedious sculptures, and now have to take anti inflammatories and soak them in epson salts. I have not posted my sculptures on here much, so if you want to keep more up to date with my other art etc, and what cons we will be at, please like on our FB page shottsy arts-twisted tails!

My scuptures are pricey as they are made completely out of jewelry wire, so if anyone will see us in the future at any cons pony or other, keep that in mind and save up for one! There are lots of pics on our FB and my DA page.

The next con we will be at is Morphicon and then Cutie Mark con.

Hello all! Sorry for my hiatus, I have a LOT going on, and I wanted to update you all!

I am applying for art jobs like crazy, don't know what will happen, but enough is enough, and I am working to pursue my dream! I already have INTEREST (keep your fingers crossed!) At WELOVEFINE. I got a speedy response in regards to possibly some animations they may need me for, so we will see what happens! I am chugging away on the commissions I owe a couple of you. I have finished completely with the donation pics, so yay! I also applied to work at squishable because designing fat round plushes all day would be my DREAM job, but the don't have openings at the moment. However, my app is in, and I got a response that it was smart of me to send it there, so perhaps there is a position for me in the future. No matter what I want to do art for a living, and won't give up.

On another Note!:
I have submitted some designs to the squishables plush line open squish contest! They are adorable fat round plushes, that are so much up my alley its not even funny! They don't have a donkey yet, so I designed my own! I also designed a fat iguana! If they are approved I will need ALL Of you to vote like crazy on both of them! You can vote on multiple but please vote on both of mine! Also spread them around help them go viral to get as many votes as possible!! If so, they will make them into fat plushes that you all can get from their store! Here is a link to their site: http://www.squishable.com/s/

If I get them approved I will update and link you all immediately so feel free to start making an account to enable voting now! I will submit the designs on here soon as well! Look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow night in my stream!

-Shottsy

Just wanted to update you all. I should hopefully be well enough to livestream again a bit and work my way up again after the holidays. I MAY be able to try and fit a stream in perhaps before, but I have been in a lot of pain from my accident. My shoulders, and neck hurts areally bad as well as my hips and lower back. Apparently my right hip hit the middle console when the van hit my car which is why my right hip has been hurting so bad. I just started with a chiropractor this week, and a massage therapist with my insurance so hopefully I will start to get better within the next few weeks. It has just been too painful to sit for long periods of time at my desktop at my cintiq so I haven't gone back to streaming yet. I know I still owe some of you art, and one part of a livestream special. I will get back on track as soon as I can. Thank you all for your kind words of support. I am just happy to still be here honestly. If I had a less safe car, I wouldn't have been so lucky.

I am sorry I have not been back to livestreaming yet, I promise I will resume soon, and also get all of the previous stuff sent out. Was just in a terrible car accident, but I'm obviously alright since I am telling you all about it. It happened yesterday morning when I was driving from the dentist to work. An 89 year old man that shouldn't have even been driving was speeding down a road on "cruise control apparently" and t-boned me full speed in the drivers side. Airbags deployed, my window was shattered and the entire car is just totaled. I was alone in the car. From what I know he is fine. He was taken to the hospital but he is ok. I must have someone watching over me because I was able to wriggle out of my coat and crawl out the passenger side unscathed, besides my knees aching a bit as well as my shoulder, and a few nicks on my thigh from glass. This is why old people shouldn't drive. A lady who saw said she knew the guy driving the van and that he shouldn't have been driving. There were no skid marks or anything. He just hit me full speed when I was in the intersection. My father and Malvir came to the scene extremely fast and were a huge help all day yesterday. My dad is still dealing with all of the insurance and court stuff, and Mally stayed with me all day at the hospital and once I got home. I am even more sore today, and am on Vicodin so a bit out of it. I need the money, so I will probably attempt to still livestream a couple of hours this weekend if I can, as I dont have much for the next week or so. I am just extremely fortunate that all I have to worry about is being sore, because if I had had a crappier car than the one my dad let me drive I would have been killed with no question. ANyways, just wanted to let you all know what happened, and that I am ok. Thank you all for being so understanding and such great friends.

-Shottsy

Hello everyone! I have been out of town for two weeks, as I moved out of my old apartment and wasn't allowed to move into my new one until July 1st. Went to Florida to visit my 89 year old grandma, and then to MA to visit my mom and step dad.I am still setting up everything so my communication will be limited until I am more set up. Soon I will also hopefully resume some live streaming in between finishing up my Joe Murray stuff, since that was on hiatus too. I have some new info on what happened with the potential mate. Some good news and bad, as well as a bunch of other crazy things that exploded in my life. I will update you all further in the next couple of days. Don't think I forgot about those that donated. I have already started your thank you drawings. I WAS hoping to visit the guy this weekend, but of course more crap.. I am starting to worry I may never get to meet him, but I will divulge all the info soon. Thank you all again for being so supportive through everything! You guys are great! Will finish old commissions soon hopefully via livestream partly, as well as perhaps start doing some small livestream sketches to break back into things in between working on my class stuff and unpacking :D

For those of you who do not know to what crisis I am referring you may see the initial journal> Here

I haven't updated on my trip to see him, or his status because.. well.. I haven't really been updated. Last I heard from his cousin which was over two weeks ago now, was that he was recovering slowly.. The whole thing is just nerve wracking and making me crazy. I am on pins and needles and communication has been horrible. I am grateful to have received ANY communication, as without his cousin telling me ANYTHING, I would have been completely in the dark, and could have just assumed the guy had decided to no longer speak to me. I wasn't able to make the INITIAL trip because 10 minutes (not kidding) before I was about to leave I FINALLY heard from his cousin, because I had been texting him all week with no reply and he finally did, not knowing I was about to leave literally right then. He was glad he caught me because he told me my guy was staying at his aunts until he regained more of his memory. He was SUPPOSED to be coming back this week or so, but I have not heard anything since.. I guess my guy's left hand still wont clench as well..

I am on pins and needles, and so frustrated that I have not heard back, but I also didn't want to seem crazy, and scare them all away, by texting a whole bunch. He had told me that night that he would get me my guy's aunts number, so I could call over there, once he got off work, I waited up, but he never called and that was the last I heard.. I texted about once a day after that for about 5 days, then my package I had sent a week prior came back (said it was wrong apartment number) So it was probably a Typo since he had given it to me in a rush on his way to work a week prior. I am just glad I didn't drive there 1) because my potential guy is at his aunts, and 2) because it turned out to be the wrong apartment number. So uuuggghhh the whole thing is crazy.

I have read over my prior texts with the guy I like over and over, scrutinizing, and even had some other girls I know read it, and they all say the same thing, that this guy seems REALLY sincere and genuine and amazing, and just right for me, and they can't imagine him not contacting me. PLUS I have spent countless hours with this guy speaking to him on the phone, and we have swapped lots of photos, so I KNOW he is real, and I am a GREAT judge of someone by their voice, and affect from a phone convo. I am pretty intuitive with such things. SOOOOO I am playing the waiting game, just HOPING to hear from him if he gets well enough to call, either that or I will here from his cousin again, and hopefully get the address thing sorted out.. I am having to leave for 2 weeks to see my mom before I am allowed to move into my new apartment. So hopefully by the time I return I will have heard something and will be able to go see him. It would just have been a REALLY evil prank on god's part if he just sent me my PERFECT guy( and I mean so far from talking to him he just seems MADE for me because I have like a huge long list of things I want in a guy (EXTREMELY specific and picky! haha) and he seriously fit ALL of them without me telling him my list haha,) and then if he is just snatched away forever that would just be evil! So I am trying to have faith and just wait.. but I am SOOOO not the most patient person in the world :( I will keep you guys posted if anything changes.

Soooo sooo much has happened since my last update to you all. My ex mate and I have finally had the true closure we needed. I will ALWAYS love him, but I have finally accepted that he can never be the boyfriend, or husband I would need someday, and he knows that too, and so has set me free. We were very on again and off again, and it was so hard to finally make the conclusion that it is over forever. However in time I believe he and I can be very close friends. I celebrated his birthday with him, and we had one last loving night together, but it was different.. We both knew that things could never and would never be the same again. We had a nice dinner and expressed our care for each other later that night and how much we love each other, but we both know that it just can never be. I cried a LOT, but it was good, and I finally feel ok with it.

On ANOTHER note more of an update, (Sorry this all seems random and sudden because of my lack of updatedness lol) I have sort of been in communication with this OTHER guy. I had pretty much sworn off men for a good long time, but was browsing online and bladidah just to distract myself from my ex.. EVERYONE that spoke to me, I on purpose tried to chase off like the plague, and was blatantly up front that i just wanted a distraction, was not going to be giving them ANYTHING, or doing anything with them, just wanted to go out and talk to random people. During the beginning of this I explained about how I was hoping to try again with my ex in 6 months, and I was leaving the door open to him etc etc but whoever should come through it if they are the right man for me I will know. Well THIS guy was so supportive, listened to ALL of my backstory and everything about me and my ex, was totally non pushy, and mainly just listened and offered support etc. and never mentioned us dating etc. This man is Jewish, and my EXACT physical type and personality, and even has MORE in common than my ex and me did. He seems ABSOLUTELY EXACT to my type.. well.. except for the 8 pack.. hahahah I dont like abs.. lol but that can be remedied MWUAHAHHA LOL. Anyways he and I wound up talking all night long into the hours of the early morning. He then would text me good morning every morning and text me and call me on his breaks from work.

Well everything was amazing, and he just seems like the PERFECT guy for me, even though we haven't even met yet, but he lives a state away. Well.. as luck would have it all of a sudden he stopped calling me and I hadn't heard from him in about 4 days. I started to worry, and believe that it was just too good to be true, and he just was no longer interested. WELL, about two days ago, I got a text from his cousin, on his phone telling me that the guy I like had an accident at work and was in the hospital, but that he had heard about me. So apparently the guy I like has been telling his family about me :) I was so worried about him being in the hospital I baked him cookies and mailed them yesterday. Then TODAY I find out more because I had no idea what actually happened because communication with his cousin has been spotty. So I found out today that he suffered an injury to the back of his head and one of his hands, and that his memory right now isn't the best, but he remembers MY name and some other names right now, but his cousin told me right now he has just been sitting there and staring out the window and doesn't say much.. Of COURSE that is just my luck, BUT he remembers MY name and it sounds like he SHOULD hopefully recover fully, I think he may just be in shock as well.. SO I have decided to go one state over where he is and meet him for the first time, and try to offer him some comfort and try to make him smile. The PROBLEM is I have like zero money right now for gas and am moving in a few weeks so am planning to finish this damn dragon template thingy for customs on here to try and raise some money for furniture as well. SO if any of you wish to donate to this cause to help me go meet this guy, and help him out etc etc. I will happily do a combo mini sketch compilation with everyone's character who helps donate to this. I am planning to go Friday, but donating even a bit after will still help me to recover enough after this trip for going to buy groceries etc, because I should have just about enough in my account for a tank of gas there I think.

If you wish to donate my paypal address is shottsy85[at]gmail.com

If you donate, just send me a note on here with who you are on paypal so I can confirm who you were, and a link to the character you want me to add to the combo mini sketch :) Thanks in advance to any that contribute to helping me meet this guy, and help him to snap out of his funk, and put a smile on his face. If this guy is the one, like my mom and others think he MAY be, this could be a really cute story years from now!

On TOP of that I am moving to a new apartment soon! I am SOOOO happy about that! New fresh start, bigger space nicer place to create. So here's to looking up and starting a new year for myself! Love all you guys!

Well things have still been very painful, and have finally come a bit to a head. The first month of my ex and I agreeing not to really have contact was not really followed through. We continued to play WOW although trying to not chat too much, (however sometimes we would get into some conversations that sometimes would get stressful). He came over a few times and slept over, but every time he would come, get comforted and nurtured, or spend time with me, he would then go back to not talking to me. Basically he had all the control and I always obliged, which was just not healthy. I still love him, and am in so much pain over this, but he has completely, no questions, regressed back to the sorry sap he was when I first took him in. He has gone back to drinking, acting out, writing immature things on FB, being negative and mean, and self depreciating, and it just pains me to see all of his self growth and work, thrown down the toilet. He is blurring boundaries with his female employee, writing inappropriate things on FB, when his boss is a friend of his on there, making ME out to be crazy so he can get sympathy from his FB ego strokers, like this new girl he isn't interested in, but is using..

I want to help him so bad, but i know that this time I can't save him, and I can't help him unless he WANTS to be helped. Things finally came to a head, when I was stupid enough to take up his offer to chat on FB. (He hasn't had me open to chat with him on there even a bit before we broke up.) Things started out light, but then started to get heavy as he began to twist things I had said, and try and reneg on some agreements. Anyways, my computer lagged, (which he has had experiences with.. Actually when we were together sometimes we would have entire arguments because he would think I hadn't responded to something, and he just needed to refresh his page.) Anyways, he had told me if I said anything else he was going to block me. Of course I didn't see this until it was too late. He THEN had the audacity to text me something else, that was the last straw for me. I don't want to tell you specifics because if at the end of six months we DO reconcile, I dont want all my follwers to hate him lol.

We had agreed to have complete space for the 6 months, but neither of us really followed it. He still had stuff left at my place, sort of like a foot in the door. Whenever he came over to "get his stuff" he would wind up sleeping over, and would then in the morning say he didn't have time to get it, so it was sort of like we were never completely separated. So after this, I gathered up the rest of his stuff, and drove to his place of work. He must have been vibing with me, and knew that he screwed up, because RIGHT as I pulled into the parking lot, (without him knowing) he sent me an apology text, telling me he wasn't mad, etc. He really dodged a bullet because I also had written out a 7 page letter, saying EVERYTHING I had ever felt like I wanted to say, that was basically a "that's it, goodbye" letter. I responded, that" I appreciate that, but I AM mad, I have your stuff here in the parking lot. Come put it in your car. I still love you, but I think this is best for now, before any more damage is done." He agreed and came out, we talked, he bought me coffee, and we hugged, he also said he was sorry about the FB thing, and he knows it was an accident. We agreed, however, to just leave it that way because it would just be less tempting and easier for us both to not be able to see each other's FB accounts. We then agreed to start the 6 months over and really follow it this time, giving ourselves OCT 1st as our reevaluation day. We MAY see each other in a month if all goes well for our bdays which are close together.

I hope he is in a slightly better space by then. Already he has been being even more crazy. Passover is his fave holiday and I felt AWFUL that he had no where to go. He was supposed to go to one of our friend's for dinner at least, but I found out he didn't. My brother just texted him, "Happy Passover." and got quite the sad negative response. Apparently he spent the night drinking in his basement apartment. I am so worried about him, and hate that I can't do a thing, and anything i try and do just makes things worse, since he wants me to leave him alone right now. I contacted him ONE time since, because I found even more of his clothes, so simply asked how he wanted me to get them to him. His response was "leave me alone." then I heard from one of our mutual friends still on his FB that he ranted about that, about how he "isn't even safe on skype, and everyone be ware of his ex." like seriously? oooooohhh be ware of the clothes giving ex! she's dangerous! he is just nuts right now. He isn't even a fraction of the man he was when we were together. Hopefully he will realize his mistake before its too late. I would have accepted him and worked through it all anyways. For now I am focusing on myself and my goals, and my life.

NOW on to the good news:

I don't want to jynx it, or get ahead of myself, but my last skype session with Joe Murray went AWESOME he is totally enthralled by the fantasy feature I am creating. Yes, I have decided to make my Seraphim story a feature instead of a series. He told me that by the end of the class he wants me to have a finished "treatment" this is basically a more in depth synopsis and outline before a screenplay is made for a feature film for pitching. He told me once it is done, he wants to show it to his agent and see if he is interested in taking me on to pitch it! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! Even if it doesn't work out that is like the HUGEST compliment I could ever hope to have! This COULD potentially be big, but I don't want to get ahead of myself. He thinks that my story is one of the most unique fantasy stories he has heard. I am truly excited to hopefully share this story with the world because it is close to my heart and I think holds a lot of lessons and weight for our world :) Will let you know more as it unfolds!

Well I have been sort of away from FA for about a month, first because of how hard I was working in my Joe Murray class. The second class has just started and I am working hard in that one. Everyone so far in this community has been so great, and supportive of me. I have made so many wonderful friends, and as soon as my class is over I intend to reopen for commissions and continue to grow my gallery and get to know more of you all. I will finish the few commissions that are in que as well. I started to dabble at them when I feel blocked from working on my Joe Murray class stuff.

Sadly, for the past few weeks I haven't had the strength to do art, or to do much of anything.. My boyfriend, the love of my life, who has been with me for 5 years, and lived with me for 4, broke up with me a few weeks ago. I don't want to get into too much detail here, because it's not fair to him, and I shouldn't just broadcast our personal lives on a public forum. However, I will say it has been the most painful thing I have ever been through. I still love him with all my heart, and I know he appreciates all I have done for him. He is hopefully going to finally be able to get his teeth fixed soon, and I believe I will still be there with him for that. Since he took his new job, things have been rocky. He moved out thinking that having some space, and being able to feel like he is not relying on me would help our relationship. However, after that things sort of imploded.

I was so heartbroken I couldn't sleep, eat, or do anything for about two weeks. I also couldn't do any art, and fell badly behind on my storyboard for the first Joe Murray class. I was so terrified that I blew one of my biggest opportunities. Joe was even talking agents with me, and how I should get one to pitch this idea I have. Luckily he was MORE than supportive, (having been through two divorces himself) and was fine with giving me the time I needed to grieve. At the time, I didn't even have the heart to come on here and tell anyone what happened, because of how supportive everyone has been, and in awe of our loving relationship. It was a wonderful relationship and we were both happy together for a long time. I guess sometimes things just happen. I have no control over the situation which make this the hardest. I am a "doer" I like to fix things, and be able to know what I can do better. I do hope to get another chance someday with him. I truly believe he is my soul mate, but its like that saying, "If you love someone let them go, and if they come back it was meant to be." So for now that is what I must do. I am loving him. Doing my best to give him his space, but still being here if I can. It has just been so hard, and I miss him so much. I feel like a part of me has died, or is gone. I must now pick up the pieces and relearn who I am without him. I think about him all the time, which is painful. I feel in my heart of hearts that I will never find a man that is as close, as everything I have looked for in a man, as him. I do know that i must not think that way, and for now I am not meant to be with anyone else. He and I have made a pact that we have six months of space and can do whatever we need to, and in six months we will try and reevaluate and see if the relationship is worth pursuing. I know where i stand, but the ball is in his court and there is nothing I can say or do to make him change his mind. So I must just wait. I felt I needed to share this with all of you.

You have all been so nice and supportive. Some of you that have come to my earlier streams even chatted with him a bit, when he actually came a couple of times. I just wanted to share with you all what is going on in my life, and thank you all for being so kind, and wonderful. I hope to livestream with you again soon. Its helpful to be able to talk to friends.

Well my Joe Murray Class is Officially starting on Saturday but I have a LOT of preparing to do so I will only be working on things for class from here on out until it is over. I will get back to finishing up commissions as SOON as it is finished, and don't worry everything i color coded and still in the "hot" folder so I won't forget to finish things as soon as I can. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience but this is a HUGE opportunity to hopefully be one step closer to my life's goals. There HAS been a slight change of plans though, that I am actually really excited about!

Since this is my second time taking his class, and I have another idea for a series that is the polar opposite style, and genre as Waffles, Joe would like to work on that with me. I can do the editing and animatic for my Waffles pitch on my own after the class and he is still happy to critique and help me with it. However, (and I agree) he thinks I am a bit locked into Waffles since I have been with these characters so long, it can be a good thing AND a bad thing. I also think it would be nice to give some of my other characters and ideas some love. I am a bit intimidated, as the story I am approaching is more of a fantasy epic, that is both deep and adult. It will have some humor and whimsy to it as well, but it is much more serious. My story and characters are still in their infancy of creation which will also pose as an incredible challenge since it is basically getting to know knew people, and learn all about their world and stories from scratch, where-as with my Waffles stuff I had the upper hand, having lived with that world and those characters for so long, and just having to string it together. I will do my best to update you all as it goes, as well as possibly stream bits and pieces of my assignments at times, but no promises. I have to buckle down and focus, but I am so excited to share these knew beings with you all!
