State of Affairs
Posted 12 years agoI realize I've pretty much been nonexistant here. I've kind of lost interest in the fandom over the past few months. :c I'm not going to clean this account out, but I'm going to start another account here where I'll actually be active:
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/redraptorxayakatl/
But there won't be much furry art there, so you are warned.

An Update
Posted 12 years agoI'm very, VERY close to finishing the last of commissions, I'm just having a few anatomical issues to fix. (When is that not the case?)
Also, I'm realizing that my interest in FA is really waning. I'm not leaving, I'll post art here, but the nature of my personal art isn't really all that relevant to the furry fandom anymore. I am aware that I could post that stuff here, but I'd rather compartmentalize things so I don't have to upload the same image four times, and so that people that are interested in only some of my stuff don't have to deal with the whole deluge.
So, I am at the following places:
redraptorxayakatl.tumblr.com - personal/fandom crap, if you don't like l4d2 shipping, don't bother, or use tumblr savior. Lots of my smut drawings go here. This is where I'm most active
redraptorxayakatl.deviantart.com personal art that is sfw, obviously

To commissioners
Posted 12 years agoWednesday is when the last of my works is due, so I'll be absolutely free at that point and I'll power through commishes. Workload is why I've been so quiet lately. Sorry about the wait! I hate when I have to postpone these things. Makes me feel guilty.
Arg.
Posted 12 years agoI hate to admit it, but I'm overloaded. That's why things have been so slow. It's the end of the semester and you know how these things get. So I'm closed to new commissions until further notice. I'll try to kick myself in the butt more for the things I have pending still.

A rant, I guess- yet again bitching how it sucks to be trans
Posted 12 years agoSo, my half brother and his wife came for the weekend, since he had kind of disappeared for many years after not being able to pay my father a debt he had. But that's neither here nor there. The last time he was here, about 7 years ago, I had lost a lot of respect for him after he rambled about how evolution is bullshit and gays are immoral and the usual social conservative schtick.
Apparently nothing has changed.
I had to sit through an hour of him basically trying to convert me, though he would never say he was pressuring me into anything. Sorry, but you don't get to say that you aren't pushing me one minute and then say that whoever doesn't find god will end up in the lake of fucking fire the next. Fuck you. Then came the whole gay spiel. You can imagine what bs he was spewing.
To be honest, I was hoping that something had changed, that maybe I would have some family to grow close to. I basically have no family in my mind. Sure, I'm related to many people by blood, but everyone's a fucking bigot. I can't come out, I would have no one to support me. I thought that I would just be able to brush off that my brother's an idiot, but instead it fucking tore me apart. I had to sit there, smiling and nodding while he bashed the lgbt community completely unaware that I was part of it. But I didn't dare protest, because first I'm a fucking wuss, and secondly I didn't want to add more turbulence to our already dysfunctional family.
I HATE that I have no one to talk to in person that I can be open with.
I HATE that my brother keeps telling me he wants to get close to his younger sibling, being me. It hurts.. Part of me has always... craved a close familiar bond with someone where I can tell them truly everything, but I have no one I can sit next to and truly feel at ease. I have never, ever been that close to anyone. But I want it every fucking day. It's just that all the shit my brother said fucking punctuated how alone I am here. I have never had my blood boiling so fucking hard and I had to just keep my mouth shut for the sake of everyone else having peace. I am fucking sick and tired of basing my whole life on fear and the opinions of others and living like a fucking hermit because I'm so damn /weak/. I don't go out, I don't have friends to go to, I have no family who knows me. I have -nothing- here for me.
All I have is the community here. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing this site is here, and there are people who understand. The internet is the only place I've gotten any meaningful relationship, even if I don't get that close. This is the only refuge I have, especially on this site. Really... I realize that there's a lot of people here who I've talked to and tried to make a friendship and then sort of stopped talking. I hate that I do that. It's not that I don't like someone and stop talking to them, I just.. that's how I am. After some point I just scare myself and stop talking for fear of looking stupid, which in itself is stupid and counterproductive to what I'm trying to do, but I can't help it. Even if I don't talk much I'm grateful for your presence, even though I just watch. Knowing you guys is really the only thing that's keeping me from giving up and jumping off the nearest bridge. So... thanks. I don't know, I'm a bit off track here, maybe. I don't know anymore.
I don't know how disjointed or stupid this rant is, I just barely escaped my brother's proselytizing and bigotry and I'm fucking livid and in tears. I'll try to get some sleep now. Hopefully they'll have left the house if I sleep in enough.

Issues Installing OS on New Build :C
Posted 12 years agoI'm near wit's end on this. I got an iso file from Dreamspark, so it is a legitimate copy of windows 7, I have a key as well. I burned two copies, one via Active @ iso burner, one through the iso burning program that came with windows on my laptop. I have it set to boot from the dvd drive on the bios, I've also made it wait a while when posting to make sure the dvd drive has enough time to spin up. It just says to reboot and put in a suitable boot device. I'm currently formatting a usb stick to boot from but I have not one fucking clue if it's going to work. I do know that the dvd drive is pretty old, I used one that was lying around from our old computer. But it is recognized in the bios, so I don't know. :/ It would not boot from recovery disks for my other computer either.
fffff.
fffff.
Commissions postponed for a few days
Posted 12 years agoSchoolwork snowballed. It's the end of the semester after all. Just giving everyone a heads up.
Branded OS OEMs?
Posted 12 years agoAre they worth the lowered price? I keep getting mixed results from google of whether they're risky or not.

Streaming(edit:nope), and Commissions
Posted 12 years agowww.livestream.com/raptorscribbles NSFW at first. Then SFW personal art after. (EDIT: lolnevermind. tablet drivers shat out on me, internet is too slow to download the driver quickly enough. ;_;)
Since my commissions have dwindled down, just a friendly reminder that I'm open. I'm almost ready to get building that computer. All I need is the OS, so I gotta raise the $140 or so for that (sob). Anyway, here are prices, for those interested:
-Sketches $7
-Flats $10
-Shaded Flats $15
-Paintings $25 base price for a single character
-Illustrations $40 base price

Yet another computer problem
Posted 12 years agoOut of the blue whenever I try to get out of sleep mode it just hangs up after you log in again, and doesn't finish until 5 minutes or so. Is this another sign of my hard drives impending doom? I really just want to finish my current computer build and be done with these problems. XD

Another Friendly Reminder About Auctions (also, a question)
Posted 12 years agoThe remaining two auctions are ending at midnight tonight, pacific time.
Also, anyone want me to make them animated icons (for a small cost of course)? It's pretty fun. XD

Best way to color greyscale art in photoshop?
Posted 12 years agoI know there's making a clipping mask and then using overlay, multiply, or color blending options, but there just doesn't seem like there's as much control as I would like over what colors are being used since the blending options tend to mess them up a bit. Is there another way or is that just how it is?
