I've been going through a lot of rollercoaster-like motivation swings and, honestly, this is inexcusable on all levels and I apologize greatly. However, I will get all sketches done by tonight. All of them! To make sure that they're all done, I'm opening up my first ever stream on FA so that anyone who commissioned me sees the progress of their work getting done. I can't let myself go like that again. It's not fair to you guys.

So, without further adieu, here's a link to my stream. (http://www.livestream.com/theworldiscube) Please note that I listen to documentaries when I work, so if you don't want to hear about rock formations, astrophysics, astrology, or anything related to those, I apologize, but that's how I roll =P

I will be streaming all night and I'll only be getting up for coffee.

Here...
We...
Go!

Actually, it's been alive for a few days already. Turns out that it was neither the power supply nor the motherboard but a shorted out USB ciruicut that stopped the computer from turning on. I want to give a MASSIVE thanks to everyone that showed their support. Admittedly, I've been slacking. After I got the computer running again, I moved it back up from a room downstairs to my room upstairs where I went into a Left 4 Dead 2 relapse D:

But It's time to get back into the swing of things as I've got some pieces that need to get done ASAP!

1.  inkblurg (Sketched)
2.  boomheadshot
3.  12345qwe
4.  diamonddragon

We'll, it seems like my computer is still down. I replaced the power supply but nothing happened, which leads me to believe that the next thing to replace is the motherboard. However, my remaining funds are limited to food and fuel for the house, and that's running low.

To cut a long story short, I need help. In a way, it's a bit selfish, and I realize this, but I need to replace my motherboard so that I can, not only resume art on my own computer, but so that I can recover the information that's on my hard drive; my resume for work, animations, demo reels, basically everything that's vital for me to have any sort of shot at a job as well as other things, stories I've written, past art work, 3D models, etc.

I'm not one to ask for handouts. I'm only asking for one of two things. The first being commissioning me so that I can attain enough funds to replace my hardware and the other being advice, how to promote myself more effectively, how to improve on art techniques, or what I've done right in the past and what I've done wrong in regards to requests and commissions. I've already gotten a suggestion on how I can advertise, so I'm going to utilize this in he near future.

To the people that commissioned me in the past, your contributions were incredibly helpful. They helped me to, not only pay off my cell phone bill, but also to pay for a ridiculous copay for a recent surgery. Thanks a million to all of you!

If you're interested in a commission, here's the information. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4280843/

To everyone that reads this, thank you for your considerations =D

This past weekend, my computer decided that it was time to go to that great whatever computers go into in the sky. A good friend tried to breathe life back into it, but to no avail. So, I'm going to be really really dead for a while. All I have right now is my iPod which provides very limited access to the universe.

So, until I get my computer to rise from he dead, Tibex is signing out temporarily.

Peace!

HAPEE VALINTYNZ DAI! =D

As of late, I've been busier than normal outside of commissions and I do apologize. I have all of them archived and organized for when time frees up, but for now, they'll be a bit slow.

I try to have one submission up (WIP's included) per day, but with job interviews, family situations more frequent, and preparation for a shindig this weekend, they'll be a bit more sparse. I'll still be working, but It'll be on and off during the day.

However, this delay is very temporary as I have a promising job lead and family hullabaloo is being sorted out as I type this.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to note me ^^

I've come up with some rules and a price guideline. If you have any questions, please feel free to note me ^^

-What to expect from me, the artist-

- I put my best foot forward in terms of satisfying the client. I want you to get what you paid for.
- As of right now, I only accept PayPal.
- I'll expect payment only after I've submitted the final piece
- No refunds once the image has been paid for.
- Once the sketch is up and accepted, I'll share my paypal information.
- If for any reason you're dissatisfied with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know so that we can work on getting the issue resolved.

-What I ask from you, the commissioner-

- Please be respectful. So far, I've had absolutely no problems in this area, but it's good just to take preventative measures.
- Keep the descriptions short and sweet. Bullets are our greatest allies!
- Image references are ideal.
- Written references are alright, but I do expect a great deal of detail if you'd like to see a satisfactory end result with them.

1. Animation for  Christykitsune (Characters made)
2. Gift for  shiverthearticuno

I feel like I've been slacking in my artistic endeavors. However, it's not my endeavors that are suffering, but my psyche. I'm starting to get physically drained from a great amount of stress, not only making art for the fantastic peeps here on FA (seriously, you guys are awesome!), but life is starting to rear its ugly head again.

To make a long story short, I want to keep the remaining requests to sketches. Not like ugly sloppy poop smears, I wouldn't stoop that low, but borderline lineart. I have a colored pieces that I'll complete fully, but that's about it.

I'd hate to do this to everyone, but there are other priorities that come before this.

To those who commissioned me, nothing's changed. Everything will still be as discussed.

Things still to do.

I know I'm not quite done with the first batch, but with all of the practice that I've been getting as of late, I'm sure I'll be able to power through these few in just a few days.

Now, For these requests, I'm going to open up a set number, all of them having a specific art type. All you've gotta do is post in this journal the number you want. This is a first come first serve event. To everyone that had already made requests, I'll ask that you give others a chance to grab one. Not mandatory, but I ask this only as a kindness to others.

Also, Keep the requests tasteful.

I will do:
Anything that's not on the won't do list
Anything up to an "R" rating

I won't do:
Explicit gore
Explicit sexual themes
Any kind of vore other than oral
Scat/Farting
Anything involving humans/apes
That's about it for now.


Ok, The types are as follows (One per participant, plz)

1. Icon  coyote71
2. Headshot Of a character  inkblurg (Done)

You're welcome.

I'm here for one reason: to provide to the masses while expanding my horizons. Sounds selfish, yes, but I've hidden from this part of myself for far too long. It's time to break out of my comfort zone and start living the way that I see fit, rather than strictly accommodating that of which society wishes from me.
