Posted 9 years agosorry i haven't been updating as much! but a lot has changed i think.
i have bought firealpaca SE on steam! i'm trying to get used to using that program. it's different, but a lot smoother and. actually legit unlike my hacked SAI.
i'm also almost done growing my hair out!! growing out a shaved head has been more awkward than it would seem. so uneven. hah
i'm trying to concentrate a lot on school, as i'm graduating in about 25 days. i'm barely making it, even at a continuation school. i just want to say thank you for anyone who has commissioned me and is waiting patiently, thank you so much. you may also ask for as many updates as you'd like, i don't mind one bit.
after i finish commissions, i'm getting a job at a world marketplace near my house. having a retail job around black friday and christmastime is going to be hectic. but i need the money badly. i'll probably close commissions and open trades then, i'd still like to do art but doing commissions would be a bit much.
i'm also working on getting a small laminating machine that would be around 100 bucks. i want to start doing traditional badges!! it would help me a lot w/ my portfolio too if i started doing more traditional stuff. so i'd want to do stuff like that. i'm doing test stuff now, i bought a 40 pack of ohuhu markers (i am nowhere near close to affording copics) but these have good reviews and seem to be nearly as good.
i'm also very active on instagram again, you can follow me (my username is sparkleseal) i post a lot of my sketches and wips there! so check it out!! i also have a deviantart, my username is sealcoat.
i'm getting closer and closer to moving, so if you want, i'd really appreciate any donations (like even a dollar helps) and my paypal address for there is sparklesealart[at]gmail.com
thank you for reading!! i'll try to update more.Update #10 🐚
Posted 9 years ago hey pals
i haven't been doing so good lately, and i apologize for the lack of art. i have been horribly physically ill for the last few weeks, and more recently has gotten so bad i couldn't eat, go anywhere or talk (barely). i had to go see a doctor about this, as i was missing so much school that i couldn't afford to miss. so, i'm cramming 7 pills a day just to be able to function normally.
i won't go into detail much on my sickness unless you ask, of course. i'm trying to be humble but it really hasn't been easy. i am trying my best to complete owed art. i have one commission and two trades to do.
please know i am trying my best and doing everything i can to heal myself and get my life back together. thank you for understandingUpdate #9 🐚
Posted 9 years agohello friends!!! it's been a while since i just did an update, and nothing else. anyways!
i am going to get through this semester as fast and well as i can, getting all my credits. i have a psychiatry appointment tomorrow, which'll help. i've been off my medication for things for 6 months now, which has taken its toll on me. mental illness ruined my education, and i was stupid and didn't take medication for personal reasons involving my self esteem and hope for the future. i didn't have a lot of those.
but i'll do that! i'll be back on track with finishing my general schooling for now. i'm at a continuation high school, and i'm doing pretty well there. i will hope for the best! i'm trying my best to stay strong as 
just went off to canada and i have to be here and get my diploma. it's fair, but hurts a lot bc i miss him so much.
w/ furry related stuff, i am getting my head soon! i will have it in time for further confusion, which i will be attending before i move. so i'll finally suit for the first time! with a head anyway, (i'll have a seal kigurumi that covers my hands so having nothing but a head isn't the worst thing)
i am also trying to get a job. i can't stream/make money enough to support myself through just my art (yet, i hope.) so... i'm either gonna pick between a snow cone place, a world market or an art/frame store. what do you think i should do? i'm kinda leaning toward the snow cone place tbh. but yeah!
time seems super slow right now. i wish it was january already but. idk! i'll be trying my best w/ everything, i hope for the best.

Posted 9 years agohello hellooo!! i have some bad news but also good news. hang in tight while i type this all out..
paypal has shut down my account about a week ago, finding out from my bank information that i was not 18. that means my source of income is gone, and i am not making money, which is bad. i can no longer take commissions until i turn 18, which would be august 22, but i will be careful and make my new paypal august 23.
that means commissions will be open august 23. i will be going full speed on them, because i am moving to canada sometime next year. im moving in with my lovely boyfriend ❤️❤️
full speed on commissions will also mean same-day sketch checkups, more frequent streams (maybe even in stream commissions) and i'll be open for sketches, icons, bust/portraits, fullbodies, and traditional badges (headshot only)
i also made my main blog on tumblr my art blog!!! anything i create will be there. expect a lot more. sketches, traditional work, ect! i also post my game pic/gif edits. (usually blade and soul, tera, arch luna online, overwatch or starcraft 2. soon world of warcraft when i can pay for it.) also my photography and selfies!!! if y'all even want my selfies LOL
my tumblr link is on my profile! (it's http://sparkleseal.tumblr.com/ if you're really lazy like myself) i hope to become more noticed, and save up for a long advertisement for my work on furaffinity. i am very excited for what the future holds for me!! however, i need to have my art as an actual income. i cannot afford to pay half rent and utilities with one sketch commission every few months. that will not be enough, and that would hurt me a lot mentally. ive been having frequent episodes from people just putting a "like" on my art (favs are different here since it shows up on your profile) because most tumblr likes are private. if you like my work, reblog it there!!!
that is all. sorry i went on a little rant there. it's only for my own safety 😞 i sincerely apologize eepUpdate #7 🐚
Posted 9 years ago HEY EVERYONE!!! AX 2016 DAY 0 IS TOMORROW!!! WHO'S READY FOR LINE CON

Posted 9 years ago hello everyone!! i hope u all had a nice califur if u went. i only went saturday sadly, but it was a ton of fun!
i am out for the summer. this summer i will be working a ton on art, getting a job, getting my licence and canadian citizenship. i will be moving to toronto, ontario in a little less than a year.
in short, right now i'm getting my life on track. idk to be quite honest i almost died at 14. im still alive today and im so glad i am. i feel like im going to have a wonderful life. Update #3 🐚
Posted 9 years agoHI IM KINDA ANGRY RN BC I JUST ACCIDENTALLY SELECTED EVERYTHING I TYPED AND DELETED IT LMAO...
anyways! i have a new roommate in my house!! her names alexa and weve been friends for like 12 years now. we both want to go to califur. my school gets out on the second, one day ahead of the first day. alexa gets out on the third, but im thinking she could ditch the last day. idk about her graduation tho (we're both seniors) and at my old school which is her current one, skipping graduation means u don't graduate, no matter what. fuck that school tbh lmao
oh well. anyways im so excited because its my fav season pretty much. SUMMER!!! CONS!!!!!!! I'm most definitely going to AX this year in los angeles. my most known con, that's a safe bet if anyone wants to meet up sorta thing. I'll have my suit head definitely by then.
califur is a bit iffy however, since it's so close to the end of school. (idk why tf it is. im kinda angry at it but anyways) itll be my first time suiting and im so fuckin excited. my head is made by one of my bestest friends, 
gekkota ~~~
im also open for all commissions!!! digital will be a bit slow, but badges can be done the same commissioning day and shipped the nearest work day. so look into it!! :D
gekkotaEDIT!!! I WILL BE ATTENDING CALIFUR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, THE 4TH AND 5TH OF JUNE.

Posted 9 years ago hello everyone!!! im back on furaffinity and stuff, keeping sparkleseal for many years to come. it has become my "brand name" and i should have kept it. it is perfect for me, and i am keeping it!
anyways, i am 100% open for commissions. so please, if you're interested but can't pay at the moment, signal boosting would help a ton. thank you!!!
i am mostly trying to make toy prototypes and designs, more crafting and traditional art. it will not stop my flow of digital art however. so dont worry abt that!
thank u all for supporting me, even if its just a few. anything helps and your support and kindness has kept me through me being an artist.
