I just kind of disappeared and I'm really sorry but to be completely honest I've been in and out of a rehab center...

Long story short, my mental issues sprung back up and I turned back to cutting and abusing pills...it hasn't been a good month and I'm really sorry, I haven't been ignoring anyone, this is just the first time I've been able to get online. Once I get out and get back into a good mental state again I promise I'm going to finish the art trades and the giveaway prize.

I am so sorry. I feel so useless and the one thing that brought me happiness is art and now I can't even get my head straight long enough to do that. I'm so sorry everyone....

I'm currently hating my fucking art style...
I know every artist goes through this, but I'm just so fed up with everything I draw lately. I've managed to (somehow) finish the lineart to both of my trades and I've started on the prize for my giveaway winner, but it's so hard to force myself to finish anything because I just fucking hate how it looks uuuuggh....
I'm sorry it's taking me so long to finish things, thank you everyone for being patient with me...(U n U);;;

Good morning everyone! It's the 10th, and that means that my first ever GIVEAWAY is over!
Six people entered, and each person was assigned a number when they commented, e.g. if you commented first you're number is one, second is two, etc.

The random number generator picked the number FOUR as the winner, which is

Congrats to them! Please send me a picture of the character you would like your chibi ref of!

If you didn't win please don't be sad. Since I've got the base for the chibi ref I've actually decided to do more giveaways of it. Maybe once a month? This was really fun and I think it'll be a fun thing to do monthly.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED! (> w <) <3333333

They changed my schedule at work, but I finally have a day shift tomorrow so once I get off I can finally finish the art I owe people and maybe do something fun for myself (> u <) I can finally answer comments too ahhh yay! Please be patient with me, I'll get back to everyone soon! (> A >);;;

I want to do trades, but I want to try something different!

Give me a species, I'll go here, generate a palette and draw you a character with that palette! I'll give you a species, then you generate a palette and draw me a character with it! The colour scheme will be a surprise for both of us! It'll be really fun (> w <)~☆

It'll be great and it'll help break me out of this art funk I've found myself in (- A -);;;

I'll have 4 slots open for trades, it's first come first served! If this does well I might do it again (* u *) <333

(1): - butterfly
(2): - European Lynx
(3): OPEN
(4): OPEN

My new buddy is doing commissions to raise money for vet bills for their sweet lil' doggie!

Here is more info! If you've got the extra dough you should totally commission them! Their art is SUPER cute and it's for a good cause!
(> U <) <333

In honour of finally figuring out the password to my account, I've decided to do a GIVEAWAY!!

The prize is one chibi ref of your fursona/oc/whatevs! It's just a simple chibi ref like these:

Example1
Example2
Example3

but it's totally free!! I can do any gender/species and I can do clothes/naked/whatever with or without naughty bits showing (* u *) <333

The giveaway ends on January 10th! There are a few rules:::

::MUST be watching me! This is a giveaway for my watchers, so yeah, you kind of need to be actually watching me.

::This is a SIMPLE REF. Please understand that. If your OC/Fursona/Whatever has six arms and two sets of giant golden wings please understand that this ref probably won't work with that character. IT'S JUST A SIMPLE, BASIC REF.

::If you're the winner I'm going to need at least ONE PICTURE of the OC/fursona/whatever that you want the ref of. Written descriptions are a pain to me because I can't really...comprehend things that well. SO, just a simple picture that I can go off of would be nice!

::There's only going to be ONE winner. After the giveaway is over and I announce who the winner is, please don't note me or harass me. I'm going to use a random generator to select the winner so it'll be fair.

THAT'S IT FOLKS! I hope everyone is as excited as I am! I think this is going to be really fun (* u *) <333
I'll pick the winner and announce it in a journal on JANUARY 10TH!! I'll also note the winner and give them a shout on their page, just to make sure they know they've won (- u -);;

PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS JOURNAL TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY! THANKS! <333

If you can please boost this giveaway in your journals or on your pages I'd appreciate it!

I've got to make myself a new icon....any ideas? Should I use my fursona or one of my OCs? Hmmmm....

Here's a WIP from my tumblr if anyone is interested. I'm so happy to be colouring with a tablet again. It's so nice, I love making all the swooooshy lines (* U *) <333

Maaaaaaan I haven't been on here in forever. I forgot my password and I couldn't remember it for the life of me. Like, no matter what I tried.

BUT

I finally managed to reset it and lo and behold, I am back! Gosh I really missed the furry community. Like, lots. I missed all the friends I made here too. I'm excited to get back and drawing again. I like to think I've improved a bit (= w =);;

I finished the art spam, thanks for putting up with the flood and I'm sorry (> A <);;

UGH. So much stuff has happened. Sorry I disappeared again.

My husband deployed, he's off fighting the good(pointless) fight in Afghanistan. He won't be home until next year, so I'm more than a little bummed. I'm proud of him though ;u;

SO YEAH. SORRY I WENT MIA AGAIN. I'M BACK. I DUNNO WHEN I'LL HAVE ART UP. FFFFFFFSORRY.
I CAN'T SEEM TO DRAW LATELY. LIKE. I CAN DRAW, BUT EVERYTHING COMES OUT LIKE SHIT. IDK. I'M AT THAT POINT AGAIN WHERE EVERYTHING I DRAW JUST LOOKS LIKE CRAP TO ME SO I JUST WANT TO HIDE IT ALL AWAY IN MY SKETCHPAD AND NEVER SHOW ANOTHER LIVING SOUL.

EVER.

EVER EVER.

A cheesy boy-love comic like I see on Smackjeeves all the time. Except with furries lol and maybe less "what? You love me? Suddenly I'm ghey OMG *gay sex scene*"

No, srsly. It is.

I work at a salon/spa/boutique place where all my coworkers are either
A)Super rich housewives that just got bored and decided "working would be fun"
or
B)Their daughters, who need some extra money so they can go to the mall EVERYDAY.

Sure, I get laughed at when I show up with my lunch in a Winn-Dixie bag, but honestly, eight dollars an hour, CASH, just to sit around, be pretty and polite, and surf the free net all day, really isn't bad.
And job security is pretty good, since I'm the only one who can work the computer to sign people in and out and balance appointments :D

I've been drawing like crazy at work, but haven't had the time/chance to outline any of it. Blah. They're all pinups, so nothing "new", per se, but one picture I really like c:

Hopefully I can get them outlined then just spam them up here all at once. Yay art spams~

The dinky town where I live played host to two of the people from the show "Swamp People" yesterday, and I wasn't going to go but there was crawfish. I haven't had crawfish since the summer started, which is a SIN in South Mississippi.

I ate the fuck out of some mudbugs AND got to pet a baby gator.

It was so fucking adorable <3

I sometimes look at my old gallery and think, "Wow, I like this picture still. I wish it was in my new gallery."

So I think I'm going to move some of my favourites over. They'll probably mostly be in scraps, but there are just some pictures I miss :c

I'm not sure why I felt the need to put this in a journal. I guess so people won't think I'm stealing from myself? IDFK.

So sorry if your box is filled with old pieces of art. I'll have new stuff up, PROMISES.

Art c:

I just need to ink and colour, hopefully I'll have something that isn't a shitty computer doodle up before this day is over. If not, TOMORROW.

Things are looking up. I'm SO GLAD TO BE BACK TO ART. I MISSED THIS. I MISSED IT SO MUCH.

Ohhh, I knew free wi-fi was too good to be true. Of course FA is blocked, it's full of porn :c I had a new ID I wanted to upload. Oh well, getting net in the next few days, so I'll try then 9.9

(Too bad I can't upload stuff from my phone :l )

I'm back (fornowatleast) SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED HOLY SHIT. But I missed you guys, and I can't deny my inner urge to draw cartoon animals :l
I wish I could be all: "I've gotten SO MUCH BETTER, OMG" but yeah. I haven't. I'll upload something soon, it might be sketchy and uncoloured, but hey! It's something.

To reiterate, I MISSED YOU GUYS. *throws love to you all*

I miss you :c Maybe I'll come back when I get more time and get better at anatomy.
