What can I do that you guys would pay for? I really need the money and I hate begging but I have nowhere left to turn considering my parents are in just as tight a spot as me financially, and I don't like just borrowing unless I KNOW that I can repay soon after.

So what would you be willing to buy from me?

adopts?
YCH auctions/ poses?
Bronze artist? (already going)
Pay what you want? (always open)
other suggestions?

Don't forget i draw cars too!

So as for the the free art that people have won in my raffle recently, it is coming along slowly, but it is also coming along behind the commissions, as they take priority for a couple of reasons.

As always, a paid commission will take priority over something free simply because it's proper in a matter of business AND just respectful in general. Also, because I'm in a rather tight spot with money right now, I could use all the commissions I can get, so I have to put them out faster in order to make room for more. I was forced to live off of my credit card for a week or so because my checking was too low, and I'm trying to pay it all off before I'm charged interest. (I have always paid off my credit card FULLY before it is due.) It's not very much because I just bought some food with it, but I need about $50 a quickly as possible. I've received a few commissions that brought it down from like $70, but I could still really use the help.

Note that I'm doing Bronze Artist commissions similar to this for:

$2 - inked (will be finished in two days from point of payment)
$1 - sketch (will be finished in one day from payment)

and as always my commissions are open and you can ask me for appropriate pricing, or just do what  bladesiras has been doing with a pay what you want system.

My commissions are always open since I never get extremely backed up, so please don't hesitate to ask! Anything -even a sketch- is highly appreciated!

by the way sorry for the misleading title of this journal

So in my psychology class today we watched this video about Jill Bolte Taylor. If you've heard of her and know this video then I'm glad, but for everyone else, I highly encourage you to watch it. It's a little long but well worth it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU

I do warn you though, there is sme graphic stuff. She talks about having a stroke, and shows a real human brain, so if you're squeamish about seeing a real brain, then skip to 3:50, because that's just after they put it away.

But seriously, this video is beautiful and very poetic, and I think we could all learn from it<333

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4840821/

CHeck it out!

This journal will be divided into sections, so you can skip the parts you don't like :3

Part one: Relationship news!!

My boyfriend and I may be able to meet a lot sooner now thanks to my new friend ^^ He found me a much cheaper way to get to my mate, so the only issues will be paying for gas and planning WHEN we have time to meet (and avoid certain people in our families)<3

Part two: AnthroCon

So I had the most amazing time at AnthroCon!!^^ I made many new friends, including a new best friend!^^ Give a warm hello if you want because thanks to him, I had the best time even outside of the convention! We went clothes shopping, we went out for food, and we just walked around downtown and hung out at the hotel listening to music and watching tv^^ (by the way I now love Gravity Falls >3> ) I shared a hotel with him and three others, two of which were almost as awesome as he was^^ We all had a great time I definitely want to meet up with all of them again! I even nearly broke my wrist when the four of us were being stupid and I was still laughing and having a great time xD I met others as well and even got checked out more than once which was a huge confidence booster! With my self esteem issues seeing someone I don't even know look me up and down multiple times really made me feel attractive^^ I got commissioned three times for badges, and even got paid more than I asked^^<3 (another huge confidence boost) but enough about that, for now :3

Part three: A Rant

This is where things get negative, you have been warned.
I am actually getting very sick of people saying that "long distance relationships never work" or that they are "impossible." Sure, my first long distance relationship didn't end well, but it wasn't because it was long distance; it was because it was rushed and we just weren't right for each other. My current relationship is going very well in my opinion, and guess what, it's long distance. Just because you're one and only ldr didn't go well doesn't mean that they never work out. Even if you had multiple ldr's that went bad, that doesn't mean all of them will never work. Maybe it has something to do with you, or the type of person you're dating. Don't ruin other people's chances for happiness just because yours went wrong.

Part four: Animal Crossing

I haven't played since I left for AnthroCon on Wednesday night ;A;

So I'd love it if you were to, say, check out Halally's raffle?? http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4757157/

And don't forget I have a raffle going on!
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4745358/

Celebrating my 200 watchers who apparently aren't actually watching very closely!

So all quarter during classes I didn't use my tablet because I was either too tired or didn't have the time. Yesterday I decided to dust it off and use it a bit, and surprisingly didn't hate what I came up with. Well about a half hour ago I was going to use it again, and my pen is gone. I lost my fucking tablet pen. Excuse me for a moment while I go drive my father's car into a telephone pole and blame kkk...

Now I'm really scared because I typed kkk completely by accident up there and it fits way too well... Immagonowbye *runs like hell*

Okay so I'm finally gonna make this raffle happen. I only have a few sketches left to do and scan so it won't be long. Here are the rules.

1. Watches are appreciated but not needed. (I don't really care for ghost watchers)

2. A journal to spread the word is required and needs to be linked in the comment.

3. At least one reference picture, no more than three. If you have a journal where your characters are listed like this then you are welcome to give me that and name a character instead.

4. In case you win and don't get back to me right away, give me a vague idea of what you want.

5. So that I know you read the rules, tell me your fursona's full name and favorite color.

**Prizes will be traditional and can be shipped if you are willing to pay shipping**

So in summary here's a little form type thing for you to use:

Journal:
Reference(s):
Idea:
Name:
Color:

So today I found out that my credit card was hacked. Which means I have no credit card until they send me a new one. The bank told me something about someone trying to send $340 to or from Canada or something. The funny part is, my credit card has a $250 limit. However, they did succeed in sending $97, which would explain why there was $133 on it altogether. The card loss prevention worker filed a dispute on the $97, but I have no idea if it will go through... I really hope I don't have to pay that off myself. It will leave me no money to go to Anthrocon, or to go to class next quarter for that matter...

Idk how I jumped from 199 to 202 watchers but either way I'm happy^^ I'm thinking about doing a raffle to celebrate, but I have to decide on what to do for it<3 I love you all!! Thanks for watching!!!<3

OHMYGODITISSOMUCHFUN

I'm not giving any spoilers but it is so cool! I couldn't think of a fun name that went with myself, so I went off of my old town, Serenity. I ended up calling this one Ataraxia, which means peacefulness or lack of difficulty<3

My name is Lukewilk and I've already set a good niche into my town :3

Please do not leave spoilers in the comments in case there are people who haven't played the game yet, and if you want to talk about the game, feel free to message me through skype or send me a note!

From now on I'll only talk that way to close friends who I know I can joke with, and you all know who you are<3 Anyone who I don't know will get a polite warning, and then be ignored afterward. I don't want to block anyone but I will if it comes to that.
Now please keep in mind that I'm not against yiffy furs and I'm not going to stop looking up porn (there is a difference), but it's definitely for the best that I stop being so open sexually with people I'm not close to.

I'm male but not by much xD

The survey didn't get as many as I was hoping, but those who did participate, (and didn't remain anonymous jerks >:U ) will all receive art in one form or another<3

I need at least four more people to take my survey!! Tell your friends to take it! I'm still giving arts to everyone who does it!

And here's the link to the journal for your friends! http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4578541/

EDIT Closed the survey! Thanks for all of the responses!

Yes I'm giving away free art, but there is a catch.

All you have to do is fill out this survey for a college paper I'm writing, and you will get a free sketch from me!
All of the instructions are on the survey :3

THIS IS NOT A RAFFLE!!! EVERYONE who fills out this survey correctly will receive a sketch!

The only problem is that the sketches may take a while because of school.

Thank you if you do this!

EDIT: The survey is closed~ Thanks to everyone who participated!

So a couple funny things happened recently...

First off, I went through something I knew was bound to happen sooner or later... Someone I'm friends with on skype from high school messaged me last night, which is quite awkward because not only did no one from my high school know that I'm gay, they didn't know that I'm a furry. And right now this is my skype picture...
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10420863/
xD She sent me like two messages and then stopped responding xDD

And today was like something from a cheesy romantic comedy. On the bus from Downtown Pittsburgh to Oakland, I sat across from this girl, possibly around my age or a couple years older. I'm pretty sure she was looking over at me, and she definitely smiled a few times. We both had these childish bags, me with my bright green Creeper messenger bag, and her with a black bookbag with colorful dinosaurs all over it, and tie dye purple jeans, etc. If I had been wearing my glasses it would have been even better xD If it was a romantic comedy I probably would have went straight and we would have lived happily ever after xD Poor girl probably had no idea that I'm gay x3
