Hope you all have a good one. Don't get drunk on maple syrup before setting off fireworks. Wait until after, please.

Looks like things are going from bad to worse for  keziah and she could really use a hand at this point. I normally don't post these help journals a lot, but this is looking to be incredibly serious:

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3594677/

It seems  distortedgirl66 is in a rough spot of having to choose which bills to pay and which to shut-off. She's offering some commissions right now for crazy cheap and she does some great work, I think.

Help her out, if you think you have some money burning a hole in your pocket! :)

I'm having a big change with my commissions. As it was, commissions were a temporary solution until I could get back on my feet again. That isn't going to happen for a while. And with my current workload and prices, it's a downward spiral until my system finally gives out and I'm unable to do them at all.

To that end, I need to treat commission work as a full time job. Prices will be higher, ques shorter and hopefully things will get done a lot faster.

For those interested in commissions:
-NEW prices: $80 for a picture with up to three characters. Full colored. WIPs provided. +$10 for extra characters. $60 for linework and WIPs and $20 for an icon.
-Commissions are on a first come, first serve basis. Post here and the order the replies are in are the order I will accept commissions.
-I do not do 'squick' or controversial subjects. Scat or cub for example. If I am not alright with something, I'll mention it in the details notes and we can work together to find alternatives that I'm alright with.

I'm holding off asking for commissions until AC is over. Until then....

Stoled from  dragonsintheattic and  calafin

Is there anything you ever wanted to ask one of my characters - or me, SkyShadow, myself? Please do limit any questions asked to me, or characters I created (whether that be from a one-off piece of artwork from here, or a named character) - I can't answer for any of my commissioners or any fictional or commercial property :)

If you could, please phrase your questions as follows, addressing the character you'd like to ask:

For Leviticus - Would you rather watch a movie with someone, or go out dancing?

I finally got around to picking up a case and slapping together a computer from peices  onisyra and  bakel sent me as well as some parts of my old computer.

Things seem to be mostly running smoothly, barring some hick-ups here and there. Though I need to put it through its paces before I declare it 'fixed'

Well, my computer up and died on me this morning and refuses to even attempt to boot up. This limits me to my.phone for basic internet access and puts all of my art programs unavailabke for the time being.

Thankfulky, I just recieved a package from  onisyra and  bakel full of computer parts. With some cannibalizing from my new, ornate door-stop all I need is a case to be up and running again.

For now though, I'd like to appologize to my commissioners for the delay. Hopefully, I can resolve this quickly.

Somebody noted me about my art being used in a pay site. And I'm rather uncertain about who I contact for the possible removal of the pictures. Anybody have any advice about that?

I also recognize art from Syrinoth, Dr.Nowack, Artonis, Ssthisto, Narse, Kadath, Lizardbeth, and sixleafclover

Well, watched my sister beat it, rather. And I really have no big desire to finish it myself. I've been there day one for ME and ME2 (with all DLC that lets you adventure around some more) and this game leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don't plan to purchase anything for it, regardless of content, and it's going up on the shelf tomorrow.

blah. Maybe I'm just extra cranky from the flu....

Snowed in by a blizzard. ;_;

Well it looks like my art mulligan (previous post) ended in a four way tie! So now it's up to you all to decide which old picture gets redone, hopefully quickly! :P

The contenders:

#1. Roleplaying! (Votes: 7)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1016689/

#2. Welcome home! (Votes: 6)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1032913/

#3. Kristen the lifeguard! (Votes: 4)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/51122/

#4. Yiff-fest: Wednesday! (Votes: 10)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/265523/

The votes are in! Looks like Yiff-fest:Wednesday is going to get a redo first and foremost! :D
Also, indecisive votes went towards whichever one had less, to shore up the numbers. :P

So I saw a meme a few days ago (though the picture I saved for it seems to be deleted...) and I thought it was a neat idea. Maybe get the creative juices flowing since I seem to hit a brick wall with my current commission.

SO! I'm taking a poll! I am going to redrawn one of my old pictures! I leave it up to you people which one I should redraw! Most votes wins at the end of the weekend! :D


Looks like a four way tie between Yiff-fest:Wednesday, Roleplaying, Welcome home, and Kristen the lifeguard. I may eventually do all four, but I'll pick one for now. Thanks for the input, everybody!

I am offering commissions at $40 a picture, inks at $20 a picture, and icons at $10 an icon.
For $20 and $40 pictures, I offer a digital copy of the picture, since my work is nearly entirely digital. At $40, I also offer a WIP for your scrutiny, to make sure I'm on the right track, but please be reasonable when asking for alterations!

Commissions are on a first come, first serve basis, based on who replies in this journal. If for whatever reason the person cannot, or decides against a commission, then the person who replied under them will get the spot. Commissions will be done five at a time, with a new call for first come, first serve commissions once the previous five have been completed.

Details will be taken to e-mail or notes, so just let me know if you're interested in a commission, and we'll go from there!

For the commissions themselves, just a few things to keep in mind when commissioning me!

-As of right now, I only accept payment through paypal.

- I do not do "squick" or "controversial" subjects. Scat or cub for example. If I am not alright with something, I'll mention it in the details notes and we can work together to find alternatives that I'm alright with.

-I don't do "fan-art" pictures. So no Spyros or Starfoxes or the like. This mostly stems from my belief that I am far from ready to do these characters anything resembling justice, so I'm steering clear for now. If it's fan-art of other peoples characters, I will be contacting them to confirm it is alright with them. This means no suprise pictures. Sorry.

-I work best at one to three characters with a background. Anymore than three characters might be subjected to a bit of an addition cost, due to the increasing complexity of the picture. Just remember. The more characters there are, the less you'll probably see.

My current commission overflow WILL be finished before I start these.

1. NEVER


There. That was easy and disheartening. >.>

...but is anybody else having trouble getting The Old Republic and Steam to play nice with each other? I need to get my chat/grind on.

Also. Boo SOPA, I guess.

I'm not doing resolutions this year, since the ones I've been using for the previous three or four years are still mostly applicable. Since I really didn't do any of them...

Anywho. As it's the beginning of a new year, and I saw this posted around a bit. What do you all want to see from me in this coming year?

Hope you all have a merry christmas!

Only need to take 5 this month, which means it's going to be a very slim christmas this year.

Alright, I'm sorry to do this, but I'm calling in quits with that meme. People are still signing up about as fast as I can do them and I'm getting nowhere. One whole day doing it is enough out of my drawing time. I feel bad enough I got nothing done today.

And to be honest. I had absolutely no idea what to put for a lot of these. I had to axe some parts, because I had no idea at all how to respond to them. This certainly reminds me why I don't really do them much in the first place.

So teal deer version. Taking to long. Back to art. Sorry all. D:

..and I will...

1. Tell you something I learned about by looking at your FA page for 13
seconds.

2. Tell you a color you remind me of.

3. Tell you my first memory of you. (Not doing this one. I have a gold-fish memory)

4. Tell you what comic, manga/anime, or video game character you remind me of.

5. Ask you a question, and you must answer.

6. Tell you something I like about you.

7. Give you a nickname.

8. Tell you the object that is to the left of me. (I'll do right, since to my left is a wall)

9. Dare you not care about posting it in your journal. :P

Intimidated by  saphie_the_shark into doing this... >.>
