weasyl: https://www.weasyl.com/~sidlevalen
tumblr: http://sidlevalen.tumblr.com/

I was gone for FC and a little bit of vacay before that so my notes are a tad backed up. and by a tad I mean
I HAVE 21 EFFING NOTES HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So yeah I'll be GETTING ON THAT before I am completely gone right? right no sweat.

From my contest on my old account. yes they have all been shipped out, yes even the ones that were $60 to ship lol

ALSO Chrimmus Presents have been shipped as well so there is that. LIFE HAS BEEN SO HECTIC sorry about the freebies I swear I will get them posted eventually if I can just get five minutes UGH


So...now I should start a whole new contest, right?
Maybe this time with like, cash prizes and not something I have to make it to the post with orz

I want to change:
How I look at myself. I'm not skinny. But that shouldn't mean I can't like myself.
How others see me. I come off as a dick in real life because of anxiety. I want to change this.
My art. I want to improve, try new things, and draw more for others.
My Wardrobe. I want to look fabulous every single day. I want to go to thrift stores and find suspenders and vests and mini-skirts and greaser jackets and ties. I want to love what I look like.
My hair. I want to be Ramona Flowers. I want to be excited and exciting.

I want to be:
Better. Kinder, stronger, louder. I want to stand up for myself and others.
More Social here. I don't comment or reply as much as I want to.
Myself more often. I have to hide who I am a lot, and I want to change that. I want my Friends to call me Sid, I want to wear my binder more. I want to be me.

I want to do:
More travelling. I want to see the world eventually.
More pen-palling. I love sending things to people I just and so slow at getting to the post because of my hours
More art trades, and more art in general. I want to gift art to people who deserve it. I want to surprise people when they are having a bad day. I want to fill up so many sketchbooks and folders on my computer with art.
Less Spending. I get in over my head when I buy for others so I need to budget a little more.
More Smooching and butt touching. of everyone. all the smooches. all the booties.
A lot more anime watching so I can understand anything anyone says now adays.

I will no longer:
Let myself be angered by other's opinions even if I find them offensive.
Dwell on the past. People are gone, lives are different, things happen.
Avoid mirrors. I want to think I'm cute. I want to be called pretty, and to do that I can't just avoid looking in mirrors. I have to work for it.
Let people abuse my generosity. It happens so much and it makes me really sad so I am going to stop putting myself out as much.

First of allll :
 rut.de.leu is offering free art for three lucky people so wow hey go do that.
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5332943/

ANNNNNDNDNDNDNDNND

yes. Merry Christmas. If you want free art, post a ref here, and pimp this journal. And uhm, watching me would be nice too. I'll prolly only do like....10, since I don't have a ton of time, but MAYBE MORE WHO KNOWS

I'll be doing digital sketches of varying detail. Some might get colour who knowsssssss

stuff like this maybe
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11930991/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12209123/

EDIT:
So I guess you cant pimp shit anymore wow that is really dumb but okay sure what ever.
Well, then I'll put it this way. it would BE NICE if you would spread the word so other people can get free art but what ever if you don't You DO have to be watching me though guys, cause this is for Christmas. I don't want to be drawing for people who are just going to take it and run and never even bother saying thanks sooooo yeap

So, The Viewing for my Sister's ashes was Wednesday, and it was pretty lame that the Biological father was a jerk to my mom the entire time and basically everyone there was a bag of wangdangs and I was furious the entire day.
Now my parents are getting evicted(unless they can find a loophole or something) for pretty much no reason that I can figure out since they pay their outrageous rent every month, etc so
yay

Okay guys I Swear I am working on all my commissions, I've got most of the traditional ones inked and have started on colours and I havent had a ton of time with my laptop but I will hopefully get to all the digital stuff very soon. I have about 20notes stacked up so I am slowly getting through them. Sorry for everything ORZ

ANYWAY, man I am pretty out of it. Does anyone feel like doing some collab trades?Like, I dunno, We each Do a sketch for each other and then trade and colour or we each do inks/lines and then trade, I dunno I just want to connect with people and stuff. so yeah I want to collab with some one I dont care what I just want to make friends and be happy and yehhhhhhhhidunno

I am sure only a few of you who have known me for more than a few years were aware that I had an older sister. We were somewhat estranged. When she was younger she had a very bad drug habit, and abusive nature that caused me to distance myself from her to keep from getting hurt any further. In the last couple of years she had turned around. Got relatively clean, and started taking prescription medications for her anger and mood swings. We spoke off and on, but Sadly, I never really connected with her again, having a hard time trusting her.

And now I will not have a chance.

a couple of days ago, the police found her in her apartment. She had been dead 4 days. We do not know a cause, and the toxicology will not be back for a few weeks. The police say it was either natural causes, or an overdose of prescription medication she had accumulated over the years.

My mother is lost. She seems like some one emptied her out. My father, who was not Dina's biological father, but as much of a Dad as he could be to her, seems so tired, and as if he's aged a decade in a day.

I don't know what I am. Confused, regretful, tired. I haven't been sleeping well. It's been hard to concentrate at work, and of course I am very behind on commissions.

I am so sorry to my commissioners. I'll be working as best I can to get everything finished up as quickly as possible, without lowering the quality.

I'll try to be around, I have a lot of notes and comments build up, I'm so sorry guys. I'm just so out of it. I'll get there, though. Again, gosh i'm so so sorry.

So I need to make about $400 over the course of this month for various reasons SOOOOO
I will be doing really cheap FIVE DOLLAR sketches of p much what ever you want. Adult for no extra charge! GURO CHIBIS BUSTS PORN UNICORNS WHAT EVER (almost)
2 person sketches are $10!

These will be done in Sai and shouldn't take me more than an hour or two!

UNLIMITED SLOTS ALL THIS MONTH!
Q^Q
If you can't commission me, some advertising would help a ton!

SLOTS TAKEN:
1  kitsunia Guro arts
2. Kgosi Awesome beastie arts

I am really really realllllllllly anxious and shy and I DONT COMMENT BACK A LOT

I mean I regret it SO MUCH but I have dropped of in the middle of convos with my CLOSEST FRIENDS for no reason. I have lost friends over it and it makes me really sad. It REALLY SUCKS. And I am sorry. I am sorry to Saturnine for never getting back with them even though they wanted to send me a beautiful bow in a care package, and now they prolly think I hate them. I never got back with a couple of people I wanted to commission because work came up and a couple days passed so I felt to anxious to note them after that long of a wait. So
I bet
I look like a big jerk to a lot of people
and I am sorry

but please guys
please don't think I hate you or am mad at you. Don't think I am snubbing you OH MY GOSH no.

It really really is hard for me to keep contact with people its HARDER THAN YOU KNOW so please don't guilt me for being quiet or not responding,or not commenting on all of your really awesome stuff. I love it all but I cant talk to you. I can't. Just please be patient with me and don't make me hate myself any more than I already do, please.
I try really hard.

is slow. FA is being really slow for me, but hey at least its back!

If the site inst better tomorrow I'll just go ahead and load the free sketches but hopefully its better because gosh its slow.

thanks for everyone's input and pimping!

Question: how would you guys feel if I did a free art raffle like, every Saturday or something?

Okay so check it out.
I want some sketches to do while FA is down

So link me here in a hurry.
BUT
all you gotta do
is check out MY TWO AWESOME FRIENDS WHO NEED MONEY

 honeyking
and
 rudethefox

Both need to get some commissions going so pimp them in a journal and pimping this journal, show me, and I'll try to get you down. If I get a TON of people I may not get to everyone. Prolly be doing like 15-20 like last time max, but still thats a good chance!

Yes I am a masochist it seems

but I want to do some sketches today to get over this shitty art block I've been having. I figure if I can work on getting some sketches knocked out it might help me with the commissions I cant seem to finish up.

So all you have to do is make a journal, advertising for me, and give me a ref or two and after a couple of hours I'll use a random number generator and pick, oh I dunno, ten or twelve?

For any of you who were collabing with me, or interested in collabing on the Chymnes, over the next couple of days I'll be adding a few more bases. I've already added three new ones to my scraps today.

Feel free to email me any questions at idlekotake[at]yahoo.com or note me here!

You guys need to all get Animal Crossing New Leaf.
SERIOUSLY ITS FUN AND I AM LONELY
I'LL SHARE ALL MY FRUIT

AND GIVE YOU COOL CUSTOM FURNITURE AND WRITE YOU LETTERS

I know I don't have a ton of people following me here yet, but I have a somewhat serious proposal. Ihave a species, similar to the Hollofawns, from the same universe anyway.

They are Called Chymnes. Some pronounce it 'him' some 'chime'.
Long story short, they are bio-mechanical creatures that are basically living musicboxes. Each one manifests when a tune or song becomes bonded to some ones heart and soul. There are Full Chymnes and Tiny Chymnes. Fulls are often called Movements and Tinies are called Jingles.
Each is bound to a Song,a tune, a Symphony or an opera act and that is the tune that is played from the mechanisms in its chest.

ANYWAY
I'd love to collab with someone on a few adopts. Samples of the bases are here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/11246879/ 'Funeral March'
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/11246776/ 'Flight of the BumbleBee'
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/11246812/ 'Row your Boat'
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/11246905/ 'Ring around the Rosie

Typically speaking they are male, but there can be exceptions. I've only made male bases so far but if anyone wants girlies I can do that.

I've got 4 more bases drawn up for 4 more songs. If you're interested let me know? I'm only looking for one person atm so I may be picky? Sorry D:

Slowly but surely trying to get all of my watches moved over, so far I've gotten into the C's hahah.

I'm also trying to slowly port art from my old account so I don't dump/spam you guys that are already so kind and watching me.

I'm not bringing everything over, not even close but I still have maybe...20? that I want to post so I'll try to not but you guys with them all at once. Thanks everyone!
