Hello everyone.
Posted 9 years agoThis is extremely difficult for me to write but I have put this off for far too long.
A couple years ago I had a terrible amount of bad luck in my life that sent me spiraling into depression and anxiety. I began to find the thought of working on commissions to send me into a panic attacks and so instead up nutting up and getting it done, I just would turn my computer off and hide. I stopped logging into furaffinity and I ignored emails I would get. I am certain that many of you feel duped and ripped off by me, and to be fair, you were. That was /never/ my intention and I am so sorry for it.
I am still struggling in my RL and I do not have the funds currently to begin refunding people, however I have pieced myself back together enough emotionally to finally come back and take the heat for it.
Over the next few months I will be trying to finish up the commissions that I still have the files for, and the ones that I don't I will work on refunding. This will take time as I was just recently hit with a lot of unexpected financial issues as well as a very sick kitty whose vet bills were very pricey.
I do not expect you all to welcome me back with open arms or to forgive me, so if the things you have to say aren't the nicest or most supportive I entirely understand.
I do not remember the names of the people who commissioned me as it has been a few years, but I will be uploading some stuff as I complete it. Please understand I'm not just being an asshole if I do not send it directly to you ><

Sorry Guys!
Posted 12 years agoI've been MIA because I'm working on moving and have also been working on transferring files to my new computer so I can get back to art.
I cannot see very well on this screen so I need to get a monitor, but I will be able to draw without lag and even stream again! (Thank lord)
It's going to be a bit before I get back to my art, I'm so sorry about that.. But hopefully once I get back to it, I'll be streaming it for you (:

Emergency PWYW Commissions. (CLOSED)
Posted 12 years agoSo, something isn't going quite the way I planned for it to and I now need extra funds that I wasn't expecting to need very quickly.
These commissions will be done after/in between my current commissions..
How this works is you will choose how much you wish to pay me, send me a reference, and I will create a piece of artwork that will be worth more than what you spend.
For instance, if you gave me $5.00 I might give you a full body line art... Or a coloured sketch..
If you gave me $30, you might end up getting something soft shaded or even fully rendered... ect. ect.
Refer to my Standard commissions prices, what ever you plan on spending, you will get something worth more than that.

Please comment below with a Reference and the amount you will pay. I will respond back with my paypal. I will change the subject of this journal to Closed when I am no longer taking them.

Commission Reviews.
Posted 12 years agoOk customers, I would really like to know what you thought about commissioning me! I hope that this form will not only help me improve with my customer service, but will also let knew customers know about other's experience with me as an artist. I will try to remember to link this to each customer after I have completed their commission.
I want honesty, I'm not looking for ass kissing. If you truly have nice things to say, then I am super glad! But I really want to improve.
That being said, if you only have nasty things to say, shove it up your ass<3 Constructive criticism is appreciated, but unwarranted negativity will just make you look like a douche canoe :D

2) Do you feel that my prices match the quality of my work? (This does not mean that I will adjust my prices just because people think they are high/low... I charge for what I feel my time is worth.. I merely want to know if you feel the product is worth the price.)
3) Do you feel that I completed your commission in a timely fashion?
4) Were you happy with the outcome of your commission? Did it at least meet your expectations? Please provide a link to the piece you commissioned, either from your gallery or mine.

Current Commission Offers and Sales
Posted 12 years agoCOMMISSIONS ARE CLOSED
I have newly added the option to purchase an "Experimental" commission from me!
These commissions are my chance to try out new styles, techniques, and colours.. The price will vary based upon how much time I anticipate putting into it.. But they ill always be cheaper than what I think they are truly worth since you do not know exactly what to expect!
Hopefully these will be fun for not only me but you as well.
Let me know if you appreciate this idea and think that it's a good alternative to speed painting for a cheaper cost.. Or give me more ideas!

I really want to give a big thank you to some people...
Posted 12 years agoI've gotten to a point in my art where I am proud of what I can accomplish. I want to improve, I keep practicing, and I'm not going to stop striving for better... But since when I decided I was going to pick up my mouse and attempt to do arts March of last year, I feel like I have improved greatly and been able to accomplish things that I would have never imagined I could before I tried!
My art isn't perfect, I'm not attempting to gloat about my "skill"... I'm certainly no where near being the best there is.. But I feel like I have come so far from where I started... This being the first piece I ever did (Please don't laugh.. I know it's hard, but control yourself! XD) https://d.facdn.net/art/raiyncore/1....._colourfin.png
The people I'm grateful to is a list that is never ending, but there are just some that stick out in my mind that have really helped me to shape my art and style.

Jynx is my best friend, an amazing artist, and the reason I got into digital art in the first place. She has always encouraged me, given me tips, and even done collabs with me. She doesn't really let anyone but me watch her draw, and by allowing me to do so, she has taught me so much. I love you, babes<3

Lhune is my IDOL.. Her art is so amazing and I hope that some day I may be able to accomplish even a small fraction of her skill... When I was first getting into painting (before I even got a tablet) she did a critique for me where she actually painted over my painting and told me how I could improve it. She gave me some GREAT tips that has not only made my art better, but easier.

Zorrito has never been afraid to tell me "You could do better," and even though sometimes I just kind of wished he would tell me I was amazing and that he loved ALL my art.. He always pushed me to strive for more, and I needed that.. He gives really good critiques, and when I put out something that has shown improvement that I should be proud of, he always encourages it. He is very constructive, and I'm appreciative for it.

Melzi's art is just lovely, and admirable. She is also a total sweetieface who pushed me to use a different program (Much to my frustration, having to learn all new tools and what not!) and after getting the hang of it, I feel that my art improved greatly. Thank you.

Tankard... Tank tank... This lady... THIS LADY.. I adore her.. It's always encouraging to hear from someone as amazing as she is that she loves your art.. And after making me a Paintchat addict for a few weeks and doodling with me, i believe she helped me to be more comfortable with my art. NOW TEACH ME HOW TO DRAW MENZ AS GOOD AS YOU DO O:<
Of course there are countless others who have encouraged, criticized, supported, and loved my art that I am very grateful for. I'm sorry if your name isn't here, I, of course, appreciate you.. I just feel these particular people have really helped me to develop and I wanted to let them know.

STREAM FREEBIES RULES
Posted 12 years agoHey guys! I've been doing a lot of freebies on streams lately and I found that I may have to lay out a few rules for them.
1) PAID COMMISSIONS ALWAYS TAKE PRIORITY! If someone begins to inquire about perhaps commissioning me, I will most likely drop what ever freebies I am doing to help the potential customer. I'm sorry, but in this economy, money trumps flattery!
2) A freebie is NOT guaranteed. Even if I start it, I may decide that I am not enjoying myself and just stop. The thing is, these are free and I'm taking time out of my day to do them for people. It's a kindness and if I don't feel like doing a certain piece or a certain character, I reserve the right not to. If you want guaranteed work from me, you are going to have to pay for it.
3) You must have me watched in order to receive freebies from me.
4) You have to be in the stream to get a freebie.. If you leave before I get to yours, I probably won't do it. There are others there who would love to watch me paint their character.
5) NO MORE EMO IN MY STREAM. I'm a caring person, but I don't know 90% of you.. I don't want to have to hear about how your life sucks or all the depressing things you feel like bawing about that day. Hey, my life isn't perfect either, but I'm not going to bring your day down by crying about it to you.
6) I have no problem with you correcting something that I've messed up or requesting changes, but please keep in mind that I am doing them for free. They probably aren't going to be the best quality paintings.
7) I may put more work into some freebies than I do others... I'm not really worried about fairness, this is practice for me. I appreciate the company you guys give me in my stream, but I don't really feel like I should owe anyone anything more than what I'm willing to offer. It's not about favoritism, it's about the fact that sometimes I get REALLY into a drawing and I spend more time on it because I'm enjoying myself.
8) You can repost your request/freebie on your page if you like, but please post a link to the original submission and give me credit for the art.
9) Please do not post links without asking permission first.. Just a silly pet peeve of mine because I'm weird ><
10) I do accept tips, but I do not expect them! I made a mistake and I typed my e-mail wrong in the past, please, if you are going to send me tips, send them to my paypal at SUMii_likes2doodle[at]live.com
11) I love you guys. Even though these rules are kind of complaining, I still appreciate all of you for the company you give me, the compliments, and the encouragement! You guys keep me going, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't find painting quite so fun :D SO YOU BETTER FUCKING KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU O:<
