It is very important to know today is World Rat Day! Be a rat, or appreciate a rat!

I just wanted to make a journal about the fact that I know there are many people I have on assorted stuff like Telegram and Discord, and even once had on AIM or Skype...

I am just -really- bad at keeping attention with things. I only have one monitor so I often miss messages and the way it just buries stuff I can end up not noticing and suddenly it seems weeks or years have passed.

So if you think that some day I just up and ignored you and want nothing to do with you, its not intentional! I am just easily distracted or am working on other things and don't get the messages. If its been a long time, feel free to reach out again, I am but a simple rat who's memory has been burned away with the stress of the past 5 years!

Against all odds, I am somehow alive even though always so tired, No nothing is wrong, just the state of the world.
I have however started to find my sleep not as restful, and I went from sleeping too long, to now barely at all, with it on and off throughout the day.

Still trying to do the commissions I got,

Trying to find a job

Other than that just doing rodenty things.

Hey! So money is getting to be a real issue and I can't find a job for the life of me. I gotta do something..

I have two services I can offer:

Drawn from scratch: $25 - I don't think I am super good but I can try my best. These will be flat color, I -might- do over and beyond but I cannot promise that, it depends how my brain feels.

Check My Creations in my gallery to see what I've done.

Line and Coloring Services: $40 For Lined And Colored, $30 Just lined or Just Colored. So I've a lot of experiencing lining and coloring sketches, and can offer to do this for you. Please make sure the artist who originally made it is ok with this! I will do flats, but I can try and do shading but I feel my ability of that has depreciated.

For these check My Color Work, also its a LOT of art if its done by Min in my gallery I have probably lined and colored it.

This is still tentative to see how this works.

Send me your ideas via note/journal or telegram/Discord (if you have it)
I will choose the ones that interest me, if I don't select you don't take it personally its likely I just don't think my ability is there yet.

I will not ask for payment until it is done, but tips will be heavily appreciated as I am in a tight spot! It will be done via Paypal!

I'll post a picture later to give an all in one example of what I am offering as well to help

Hey, so I am struggling really hard to find a job and need a little extra money. I am not great at drawing, but if I were to open for commissions what would people be willing to pay? I’m not 100% that I will take commissions but just poking around to see if it’s viable and if there is interest.

Its that time of the year! Mine feel kinda hollow, so I hope all of yours is a better one!

So, I will admit I have been struggling. My mental health has not been great. My sense of time is all kinds of messed up and I have a hard time keeping track of things. So if you have tried to chat with me and its just gone unnoticed or petered off, or I was supposed to do something, please excuse me and give me a little reminder. I am trying my best.

Its Rat Birthday Time, Lets go!

I wanted to do some art fight this year, already a couple days in, trying to work up the will to do an attack.
My page isn't very fancy, and I don't have one of those little display things people do, as I still not sure who to add as the 5th character to add this year.
Can't promise anything super good, as I want to at least get -something- done even if they are dumb doodles.

This is a little off what I normally post...
But when I sleep, my dreams have plots, ones that will interweave with other dreams I have. They have plots, and lore that build on each other.
There are many different "settings" for these dreams. Post Apocalyptic, Scifi, Modern, 1950s, Cyberpunk Etc...

But there are the Early Dreams, those with the largest built up world, There are towns, and cities.. but there was one part that shows up, but doesn't exactly fit in with the plot.. It is reoccurring, but maybe once or twice a year, and it makes me incredibly uncomfortable.

I am standing at the oceans edge while there is extreme low tide, allowing for the things forgotten and lost are seen again, but the ones that give me real sense of unease are large rusted chains that lead out into the water. Touching these chains, the rust cuts into my hands and they are so cold they hurt to hold, and yet I feel a need to have to reel them in, but with each link pulled in, I feel a growing horror at whatever is at the end of those chains, that they must NOT be pulled in, yet I am unable to stop reeling them in, for they do not belong there in the ocean.

I then wake up shaking, and will feel off for the rest of the day. Early on in these dreams the sealife was weird, strange organic growth that very much now that I know such things I could call eldritch, but as time goes by these horrors have subsided, yet the chains remain.

I still exist!
Depression has been pretty rough lately.
I am wanting to look into getting some stuff commissioned, but dang its hard to do these days.
Everyone artist has their own Discord/Patreon/Bluesky, etc where they open and Its so hard to keep track of or catch when open.
Looking also into getting more stuff with others. I love getting the stuff I do, but somethings would be more fun where its not just a single person image.

Hope FA comes back so I can post my backlog.

BEST DAY! WORLD RAT DAY!

MAKE RATS BIG AS WORLDS

Ok, Finally giving up Twitter. Had been slowly doing it for a while, its been off my phone completely. I had been waiting for a couple artists I really like to move over to Bluesky but they just don't seem to be doing it. I can't wait any longer. I've gone ahead set my posts as protective, and will probably shut down my account in a week.

If you wanna find me?
anachronicrodent.bsky.social

I'm also still here, and I'm on Discord and Telegram. For those who have be on there and I haven't talked to you much, Please forgive me, I've been really bad lately at keeping up with things. It's nothing personal, just be patient with me and give me another poke.

53 years from this day is when the bombs fall in fallout!

I should do more with my nightstalker, and see about making a deathclaw one of these days

I can't belive I need to say this because everything is just going to hellzones.
All eggs in my art are artifacts, chocolate, inanimate, etc, or have full grown clones
Any preg, are either ancient demons, Eldritch creatures older than time itself, fully grown clones, etc.

None of my characters are under even 20 years old. Sometimes there is some short stacks or short or small characters, but this is fully their own beings not being depicited as young.
Everything I have is an adult.

HAHAHA ITS MY BIRTHDAY FEAR ME FOR I AM MIGHTY!

I dunno. I am silly rat brained

I don't plan to go anywhere, but once again there seem to be rumblings and weird things going on.

Twitter:
@anachronicrat


Bluesky:
@anachronicrodent.bsky.social


I have some accounts on assorted other sites, many made when they first opened and then either didn't like the dirrections they went, or just bounced off. Not really active on any of them.
To be fair I am not very active on social media in general.. but if something causes me to not be here, I'll post to twitter and bluesky and there I'll say wherever I am going to end up.

I really hate how decentrilized things are getting, I don't like checking twitter and bluesky, and patreon and telegram, and discord, and personal site as the means to have to keep track of all the artists I like. I'm too rat brained to be able to keep up with that stuff :(

I have had so many unexpected expenses occure that I was not planning for. Originally I was trying to save up to upgrade my PC as its beyond old at this point, but the mony I had saved for that got wiped away by a bunch of unexpected bills and things.. then ontop of it all my AC ended up dying and its going to cost be about $6000-$8000 to get it replaced. This makes stuff a little uncomfortable on my end.. so I need to make some money.

The issue is I have no idea how much I should charge as.. well I mostly excel at coloring stuff for people, or lining sketches.
I can also draw, which I would be willing to do, but the quality isn't great and takes me forever (The stuff I've drawn myself are in my gallery under My Creations)

For examples of stuff I have lined and colored, it is a lot of the stuff from  Min but I have done soem others, I haven't yet put them into their own folder yet.

I prefer flats, but can do soft shaded or cell shaded but I am not amazing at it.

Would people be interested in any of this sorta stuff, or what they would be willing to pay for it?

I'm a hungry little rat, please feed me, its 8/8. Its more fun to be inside a rat than outside :V

Squeak squeak squeak squeak!

Also: Rats are not small. They are BIG!
They only look small because they are really far away :V

Heyo!

Just doing an update journal.
I still plan to do the doodles I took earlier, just been busy on my part.

Dealing with family issues over the holiday and just can't be given enough space to work on anything of my own.
I can hopefully pick the drawing back up once I get home.

Thanks!

So, I've been in a weird mood where I've been doing dumb doodles, and wanna expand the pool of stuff I am doing..

I am asking who wants something, just let me know of a character and I might draw something involving them

Just be aware, not likely to wind up NSFW, and the quality is likely going to be REALLY BAD and the result might be stupid or weird and cant say if it will be anywhere on model.

If you -really- want to you can include an idea.

May or may not have Trip or one of my other characters there too.

The rat is going to be older on friday!
I feel like I should aim for a cake, but I don't know what kind I wanna get. I feel like a cake with fruit? Not quite feeling chocolate.

Yep, like everyone else I'm making my way over to Bluesky. I don't know if it will be the final place but I wasn't super liking the others, but for now so I can just ditch Twitter I am on bluesky

anachronicrodent.bsky.social

So, I kept meaning to upload my backlog, but I fell far behind on it.
I am wondering, I have a bunch of sketches that I've gotten from Min that I haven't done anything with. I love to line and color them, but just haven't had the will

Would people rather I wait until done with them to upload them, just color them in their sketch phase, or what?
