Sorry about my sudden two month disappearance also! That was really unexpected and unintentional.
Been super busy working my booty off. Dx

But, I do have to say this! I'll be moving to a new account soon. Gonna start over fresh.

Reasons?

I've been very bogged down with the expectations that have been set for me (by y'all and by myself.... Mostly myself).
I want to be able to toy around with styles and doodle some days and really PAINT some others.
I know quite a few of you aren't following me for those kinds of shenanigans, and I get that.

If you are following me for my adoptables, though, fear not! I will continue to post adoptables over there.

If you are following me and praying that I'll get back into drawing butt shots... Well... You might be praying a little longer. Dx
I can't promise a whole lot of porn on the new page, sorry guys.
There might be some. I dunno. It depends on how I feel and what I have time for!

I hope some of you will continue to follow me even on the new page, but, if you don't, I get it. u v u
I hope you find another artist that you love just as much (or better). I promise I won't get jealous~

- Matt

Have a blessed 2017, and, please, start off this new year knowing that you are ALL amazing beings!

First off, let me just say that I'll be doing a commission spam here pretty quick.
So, if I owe you art, it'll be coming soon.

On to the issue... There have been issues with my roof for a while now, but the storm last night flooded the hallway.
There are veins throughout the ceiling and streaks of black and brown shit down the walls. It's not actual shit, it's some type of
housing material. REGARDLESS, it should not be leaking down the walls. The carpet is trying so hard to mildew in places because
it keeps getting soaked over night when it is too cold and wet to open the house up.

And, no, I don't have the money to just get up and move. Even then, most places for rent around here don't like pets that aren't small dogs.
So, yeah. Just an update on why I haven't been posting/responding to comments. Also, my keys don't work on my laptop 80% of the time.

*thumbs up* I'm slowly losing my mind wheeeeeeeeeeeeee.

-Matt

I ran out of time before I left to say anything, but I was just down in Crystal Beach, Texas (on the Bolivar Peninsula) painting a small mural!
I'll post pictures in a bit of the mermaid that now graces one of the outdoor showers in the Emerald 2 community!

If you ever find yourself driving by, you can see her from the entrance (the entrance is also a Pokemon Go gym).

Finishing up my digital commission list ASAP, and, again, I apologize for not mentioning this until after the fact.

-Matt

... Where you open up for commissions and then immediately get sick for a week?

I do believe the universe decided to call bullshit on me doing things in a timely manner. Dx
Sorry guys!

I hope the season is treating you all well!

No matter who you are, where you come from, or what it is you have to celebrate this month, you deserve to be happy.

Always, always, always remember that you have a place in this world and the right to continue on. <3

I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE.

I am the Buttkey.

When it hits, you'll be pissed.
But I'm tired of hiding that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Let me spam you with my Crossover Christmas bullshit fanart now.

(P.S.: I'm not drunk, just dramatic because Amazon is withholding my UTH order AND I REALLY NEED THOSE HEATERS FOR MY SNAKES. Figure if I right some wrongs, maybe the universe will be a little kinder.)

[EDIT]

((BONUS CONFESSION: I hate my style and have been grumpy about it.
So most of my art has been really half-assed recently. Working on fixing that, but I've been really torn about how.))

Hello, hello!

I'm planning on doing a world story to better explain my adoptable species, but it will mostly be centered around the Trisagion!

Now, don't panic... Reading is purely optional. Think of this like an American comic book (in terms of universes)!
There's a main storyline, but then there are alternate universes and such which can also be considered canon on their own. That being said, this will not influence any pre-existing Trisagion that you have based in your own universes! If you would like to submit an alternate version of your Trisagion (or just need a better way to use the poor dear), I would /love/ to have them appear in the story!

Currently, the story is going to be centered around my Royal Trisagion, Primera. He spends a lot of time in the "Lower Realm" (instead of hanging out in the sky, he likes to walk about on land), and with "The Council" (Royals who govern over the other Trisagion from their floating central city).

"The Council" is mostly made up of my Trisagion and Pasha (Snowdrops's), but... I'm doing an open casting call to all Royals for a few positions in it! There is also a casting call for Normal Trisagion to be servants (or, if you have a Royal and a Normal, they could be Master/Servant) of "The Council".

I'm also looking for someone who may want their Trisagion to be a spy for Jack (the Nethertern King).

Cameos of any and all Trisagion are welcome as well!
Do you have another species of mine that you would like to see used? Submit them, too!
(Example: Primera has a Tinku who guards his shrine for him.)
Don't feel limited! <3

Because of this, Trisagion are being cut off from production!
I may make more in the future, but it is time to move over for some new creations!
Customs will still be available, but, once the currently available ones sell out, I'm done for now!
Currently Available Trisagion Here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17860905/
And: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17621665/

tl;dr?

If you would like a character of yours (species of mine only please) to appear in a story,
then fill out the appropriate form and either COMMENT ON THIS JOURNAL or NOTE me!
Trisagion are also out of my production line! Won't be making more for a long time except for customs!
There will be more prominent spots open for Nethertern and other species at a later date for those who don't think cameos are good enough!

Hey guys!

In regards to my return to the website, I thought I would clear some things up!

I left because I pushed everyone away and they... didn't know how to handle it. Sure, it made things worse, but that is absolutely not their fault.

I thought I was dying from a heart disease that I was being tested for. I was going to doctor after doctor, after doctor.
I had had all of the symptoms of a heart attack multiple times, but had never actually had one. It was a huge fucking mystery and /I/ didn't know how to handle it. I pushed everyone away, thinking it would be better if they stopped knowing me now. I snapped, I freaked out, I acted like a complete lunatic in some cases. At least, I think I did... I'll be perfectly honest, I don't even /remember/. I just have this horrible feeling in the pit of my gut that says that, last year, I was a complete and utter twat to everyone I knew.

I was the one driving myself insane. Between the stress I was putting myself under here, the stress I was putting myself under trying to start a business, the idea that I might die soon, and trying to handle everyone else's problems while pretending I didn't have my own... I lost it.

Just. Boom. Flat out fucking balls to the wall nutso lost it.

I don't even believe in suicide being an answer, but boy-oh-boy... I didn't care at that point. I just wanted it all to stop. End. Right there.

Funny part of this story?

I couldn't do it.

A couple of weeks after my failed attempt, I found out that those symptoms I was having was all untreated Psoriatic Arthritis.
ARTHRITIS is all I was suffering from. Those heart attacks I never had? Because of it.

Oh man, I felt so much shame and just... My whole world stopped. I had a new problem.

How in the hell was I going to make up for all of the shit I had just put everyone else through?

I knew one of my friends never wanted to hear from anyone who had ever done her wrong because of the stress it put on her. So I avoided her. Like I thought she wanted me to.

I knew one of my friends had felt the bulk of what had happened was her fault... but... how do I fucking tell her that it wasn't?

Finally, I got the balls to look. Just look at my messages, and there they were...

Messages. From friends, strangers... hell, even my ex-fiance was so concerned. She dropped everything to give me a life line.

/Me/. Of all people. They forgave me. All of them wanted to see me back.

That's the best feeling in the world. I'm man enough to admit that I wept like a fucking baby for hours.
Slowly but surely, I messaged a few people back... Made a new friend while I was at it.

Most importantly though, I made up with the friend who blamed herself. Truth be told, Eden didn't do any of it.

It was all me. But she cared enough to think that way, and still contact me anyways.

So, here's to good friends, new and old, who lift you up from the pit, no matter what that pit may be.

Thank you.

All of you.

Thank you so much.

I'm here. Thanks to you.

-Matt
