Ya damn marks!

As keen-eyed people seen, I'm doing a "soft-reboot" to my account. For now, you'll be seeing art of my sona, who I hope can get a much-needed revamped design for 2023. I want to properly add to it only my "main" characters i.e. the ones I actually care more and neglected for years. I have too many characters, haha.

So yeah, can find me elsewhere via Linktree!

Oh hallo there. This things dusty as hell.

So 2019 is gone, 2020 is in and by the time ANYBODY sees this Journal post, my 26th birthday is close to being done and dusted.

Bless up anyone who gave me birthday shoutouts tho. Seeing them across Twitter, Discord and even DeviantArt made a rather mundane Monday feel just a tad better for this boyo-at-heart on his birthdate. So thank you for making me smile like a derpy pone come Level 26!

Anyways, I have a backlog of commissioned and what-have-you art I've yet to share to my Gallery and that's cuz I'ma lazy boyo, haha. They'll be put up, eventually... For now, come hang over on Twitter; that where most of my business is conducted.

Had an alright 2018 for the most part but October is when it started becoming a struggle financially, with the Christmas period being the worst part of it mentally. My highest point of my 2018 was not only being able to spend time back in my home city of New York, but attending New York Comic Con as well.

Kinda attempted limiting personal/manual tweeting on my Twitter account since Friday - following making a tweet that afternoon considering taking a sabbatical from here and Discord - thru Sunday with mainly retweets on Saturday. I've been more focused on Discord during the past weekend too, which helped improve my mental state somewhat gradually.

Here's to all those looking to a better year in 2019.

So I haven't said a peep on here since my previous Journal post made waaaaaaaaaaay back on my birthday. unless favoriting submissions, commenting on submissions and recently starting a new job over at Walmart in teh meantime counts for anything. Financially things are looking up now that I'm getting paid more at said job.

I still have a number of art to upload art and for those wanting to see more of my characters I'm sorry I wasn't able to do the past four, five months. I'm trying to get back on that gimmick and hey, brand new art may come in too. Just bear with me as I try to bring my roster up to speed.

Thanks for understanding anyone that read all that up there.

Happy Bifdaiii, twenty three me.

"2016 sure was a year."

2016 sure was a year.

Once again I managed to get through a year faced with even more setbacks. Once March came around my adulthood rapidly adjusted to when I really did have to be more independent. Yeah, that too wasn't an easy task and at a point almost reached defeat, both mentally and physically...

But thankfully I resisted that defeat and kept on. Sure the thought of juggling such responsibility led to moments of when my anxiety reared itself few years ago but even then I was able to fend off the most extreme cases of it. That made the last few months of 2016 be a turbulently safe ride for me, so to speak. Not only was I was able to make sure I continue to have a place be called home but I had positive distractions from the onslaught of negative emotions that struck at me.

One such is my twin brother Tyquann, who I'm very thankful stayed with me despite himself not being to return to college in the process due to a mishap. If he did left, I'd likely would've been in such a depressive rut the only way out of it would've been death.

Others are the people I've still have contact with online. Fortunate for another year I've been able to maintain such contact with them in some cases create new friendships among them. Some even helped out when times gotten so bad for my brother and I.

In closing, do hope that things personally turn for the better in 2017. Not just for me but also for my brother, certain family members, friends old and new, and most importantly my mother.

Happy New Year.

We're 22 years old, going on 23 next January. Sure, we may be adults and we can look out for each other. But this past year have seen many hardships come our way, largely due to a family situation that has befallen onto us since March 2016. I won't mention it publicly because it's in my best nature to keep it as such.

The end result is me and my brother trying our best to make ends meet since that time and we are truly fortunate to have survived keeping things afloat for us following that. However, that can't last forever and it's starting to show as we head into the Autumn and Winter months.

With rent prices going up on top of trying to save up money for utilities causes, it's starting to become a major struggle to get the money needed to pay off such matters. Yes, we've asked family to help out. While truly grateful, it's still unfortunately not enough as it stands currently.

That's why I'm making this Journal to voice for any financial support kind folk can send our way. I was honestly going against making this post but at some point I had to give in and was finally suggested I do so, in hopes of anyone out there that could help. It's a long shot for another stranger on the Internet to do such a thing but hey, gotta try.

My brother and I are trying we really are. We're hoping things will turn out for the better come late January, but even that's still uncertain.

If I was an artist like the majority here I would do something in return but the only thing I can do is give my sincerest gratitude for this endeavor, just needed to help us get through the next few months, again, still uncertain if it'll be for that period of time.

If you'd like to donate, do so here: https://www.paypal.me/tytwinny I'm still very much a noob at this so if there's anything I'm doing wrong, please tell me.

if you can't, please do share this Journal post around. Thanks to all those who read this. ^^

I'm so lucky to still be here after the crap I dealt with for the past 9 years. Through the mental crap & other issues.

Having family that cared for my well being as well as others gracious enough to become friends (even if online for the foreseeable future), making me feel happiness whenever possible.

From the bottom of my heart, I say thank you to those people. I really freaking appreciate it.

I'm so damn blessed.







In other news today be my DeviantArt 2 year birthday woooo~

Looks like we back...ahem.

So FA once again took a nosedive, but what else is new? Anywho, now that I have reuploaded the pics lost during the 6 day loss, changed up some things on my account and retagged everything, things can be revert to normality until FA gets shot again. :P

If you want to check me out elsewhere, all the links are under the "Contact Information" section on my account's main page!

Not getting into much detail over what happened yesterday but can say a serious family situation has left us picking up the pieces for a while. And by us, I meant my brother and me. We're good the next couple weeks but once May comes, that'll be the real challenge. As I said last night on Twitter, we have family and their friends helping us out during this time but can't think of the past, gotta move forward with it all.

To anyone that reads this, thanks for doing so. Not trying to sound desperate posting this Journal either but I'm trying to be hopeful in the coming weeks.

So...new day (yes it is), new start. Let's do THIS?

I be 22 starting today.

Adulthood continues.

Still like to know of your commission deals! Info in the link below:

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7260173/

Roughly a month after the previous Journal, I come asking for a simple request. If this Journal entry title doesn't give it away, I'll say it again here.

SEND ME ANY COMMISSION DETAILS YOU HAVE. :D

I want to build a list of them for reference; much better have them in one place instead of opening tab after tab after tab painstakingly searching for them, which I feel is a drawn out process. Therefore the former option is the better way to go me. Just comment below to any links to your lists. If you have any that are due by the end of 2015 add them below too; just please mention you'll have a new/updated version of them in the comments. You can also note me your details if you're more comfortable with that.

I should be able to purchase at least two pieces of art depending on how my next paycheck goes, which I'll receive this coming Wednesday (Dec. 23rd). I'm eager in doing something like this too, haha. Funny it's just about the Christmas season at the time of this Journal entry!

And hey, ya'll want I could spotlight a few of your commission lists should it come to it. :)

PLEASE NOTE: Understand that whenever I make an art purchase, I will need your PayPal link in order to do so. Still unable to add cash to my own account.

Happy Holidays~

LET'S UPDATE THIS THANG, SHALL WE?

Hi, hallo, sup, salutations. I'm doing alright in my little world. Job's going swell, good hours, equally good pay. Just been going through the paces at a reasonable speed.

It's also Thanksgiving by the time of this Journal going up so to all my Americans, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Well that's it. Short and sweet update. How the HECK you people doing? :)

I had a job interview today for a department store position.

I got the job. :^)

Going to be working in maintenance, 6-10am weekdays. I haven't yet been told when my first day will be held. But MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN, another threshold of my life has finally been done. I tried and tried and it came through in the end.


THANK F'N GOOOOOOOOD


(Just so you know, not dead!)

Hallo again! Figured I make this journal to showcase my written feature series over at RadioSEGA called "True Fan Hack Stories"!

TFHS is a feature series on RadioSEGA.net highlighting various SEGA fangames or greatly-improved hacks of SEGA games and the people behind them. In each installment I talk with the creators over each game or hack, getting myself and the reader to know more about how these came about and whatnot.

There are two pieces written for TFHS as of now; both took quite the span of when they were posted (a SEVEN month gap, thanks life...). I am proud of what I accomplished thus far with it and hope to get more out throughout the year! Here's those two installments below:

- Ecco the Dolphin PC: Fixed and Enhanced Edition

- Sonic the Hedgehog: Time Twisted

Who reads this journal, SEGA/Sonic fan or not, please take the time to read both of these and tell me what you think, if possible.

Something more cheery up in this journal space ok? OK.

My friend  NeatoFlamingo has reached the milestone of 300 WATCHERS! And to celebrate she's holding a special full body pinup sale PLUS a special watcher raffle!

Head here for more info. And congratulations once again Val!

December 25th 2014 - January 18th, 2015.

My tablet.

Damnit I had this tablet as a Christmas gift LAST MONTH...then something like this happens...Ugh, the charging piece broke off INSIDE my tablet... Now I can't recharge it, plus it has no warranty...(yes I know...) the only other choice is to take it to some local repair shop...I don't even know if that'll work.

DAMN IT ALL. I am SO pissed...feel like I want to cry tears of anger...

I've crossed into the threshold.

I am now 21 years old.

So this how it feels...huh?

Whoooooa...


ANYWHO gonna be back in New York City to celebrate it with my twin brother at Dave and Busters~

:D

Probably won't be around here much for the next couples days or so from later on; roughly around the afternoon until I return back home. That's depending if the hotel I'm staying in has wifi.

But yeah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEE~

So my 2014. To say is was another turbulent year in my life would be an understatement. Because it has happened twice, thrice before.

The transition into adulthood is still a very struggling one for me as the year comes to a close. Given my personal problems with myself and struggles among family members, I am lucky to survive another year, moreso end up in another (hopefully longer-lasting) comfortable situation. I know my twin brother knows very well about how I dealt with the unfortunate situations that unfortunately presented themselves to me throughout 2014.

But there have been positives. They can be seen in the photos that I've taken. The visual journal entries, you could say. From the sights of Times Square, of finally leaving that shelter (which I forgot the name of, thankfully), seeing my brother whenever I returned to New York, being able to experience Sonic Boom 2014 right in NYC, to being where I am now in Virginia (for the time being).

Plus, chatting and getting to see what others are going through and whatnot, being able to meet a sweet, caring person who I now love and of course the support from all those who did throughout 2014.

I hope 2015 can be an improvement over this year, I really hope so. Especially when I'll turn 21 years old next year; next week to be exact.

Happy New Year guise!

Heeeeeeeeeeeey, making this journal just to say Happy Holidays to you and yours and whatnot~ Hope your Christmas will go/has been well enough for ya! I'm getting a tablet for Christmas from my mother, so glad that I'm able to get one, yoooosh~

What are you guys getting for Christmas? I'd love to know, even if it's little gifts you're receiving. :)

I like to show support to those that need it. In the case of my last journal, this is no exception.  BandNerdsftw 's gallery is a very adorable sight of cuteness, from soft styles and bright, clean artwork. She is still trying to hone her artistic skills and that's good for her to do so, wanting to experiment how her current work is.

If ya have the time, go on and she her page, fav some of her art plus comment and tell her (nicely!) what you think of it. I know she'll take your advice, opinions, constructive criticisms to heart so she can improve her art. :)

Pluuuus if you promote her page, she can whip up a chibi drawing for you too! BONUS~

I don't normally do these kinds of things but she's a very special friend of mine SO I'MA DO IT ANYWAYS.

Take a moment of your time to visit my pal  NeatoFlamingo please? Her gallery has very nice mix of cute and saucy art and still is learning her skills as an artist. She can work out good commisions, art trades and whatnot. She also has a cat that may speak to her own tail at times, but it's still cute to look at.

ANWAYS, this is a late post but I don't mind, as long I'm spreading da word of my favorite artists and their work, that's all that matters.

It's been a long ass time since I made one of these I'm sorry I know I'm stupid.

Anyway having experienced the demo back in early October, it's still less tricky & confusing than the Wii U version (fyi: the controls are right in the pause menu people) , graphics are good too; vibrant as with Sonic games in the past few years. The music is pretty alright as well. Course being from Richard Jacques, it's a huge step up from his work on The Dark Brotherhood...

It's not a bad demo nor is it good. It's decent for me. That said, I still want to own a copy of Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal and any negatives won't deter me from liking what I played. Don't expect the typical Sonic formula much playing this demo. It finally makes platforming worth a damn and has the speed when it's really needed.

Saturday October 4th, 2014. A night, I'll remember for as long as I live. On that date, I was waiting on line for Sonic Boom 2014. This was the fourth such installment of the event, and the first to be held on the East Coast of the United States of America. Sonic fans from across the nation, as well as abroad, converged into the Manhattan Center for a super Sonic Saturday night of awesome...

I have my full written post of my time there in the post linked below. Please take a moment to read my experience of one of the greatest things I was able to a part of. :3

https://www.radiosega.net/news/features/2014/10/radiosega-at-sonic-boom-2014-pt-2-twinnys-take-sonics-in-the-big-apple/

I haven't lost motivation to snap more pictures, it's just there's nothing here worth taking one to be honest. Maybe it's because of where in Virginia I'm in or something, I dunno.

POINT IS I'm still here, I'm still around, but unable to update my gallery still. Much appreciation to all those that watch me, fav my pictures and just show support at me. Thanks so much for the love guise~

And hey, if ya wanna chat about shiz, I'm here! Note me and whatever, plus on Twitter, Facebook so yeah.
