Birthday
Posted 7 years agoI should apologize for being so inactive here, my life has been a giant mess and my family's still working on making it worse. Especially on my birthday for some reason, been fighting since the 3rd and haven't paused yet, but I don't want to get into personal information in a public post. Don't want to seem like I'm fishing for attention. '^'
Currently the massive heat wave across the entire USA is killing me, no air conditioning and 100+ degree weather makes it impossible to draw by itself, let alone that my art tablet produces a lot of heat when on. Enough to melt off its own glue holding rubber traction pads in place pff. That was a huge difficult mess to clean up.
I'm waiting for the weather to cool down, and hoping I don't get sent on another homeless trip around the country by my idiotic family. It seems like every time we make progress toward something, they just decide to destroy their entire lives by force and start over. If I continue to stay inactive for a few months then that's probably what happened.
That's all I have to say for now, I really need to see how this day goes before I can plan anything further, if I keep my home I'll be trying to draw and post more very soon ;w;

Back
Posted 8 years agoI have EXCESSIVE TIREDNESS most of the time (I'm feeling close to pass-out writing this, and it's only 9 PM!), but I'm around again. Needed a lot of time to settle after the move, our house was (and still is), a big mess.
Had to fiddle around with the heating system, broken windows, broken stairs, no fridge or stove, three of the doors busted, also removed the broken screen door from the front of the house, still haven't cleaned all the glass yet, carry around tables / furniture / lawnmower, rip up most of the yard with my bare hands because the lawnmower couldn't cut the taller stuff. Still no A/C, and summer's coming quick. Only got stable with food recently too, was too hungry to do much for the first month or so. Plus dealing with weird electrical problems, horrible internet instability, computer troubles, illness (I feel better now though!)
That's all in the past two months. Not complaining! Just saying there was.. a lot of stuff hogging my time. Plus I don't have any privacy until late night, due to family.
I'm in a better spot right now, and I'm going to be finishing up all the commissions I'd backed up shortly. Flooded FA yesterday with the art I've done since December of last year (minus a couple I forgot), sorry watchers!
but yeah. commissions very shortly, then I'll hopefully make a price sheet and open again. With much better turnout rate for sure. Hate that everything's taken so long, but that's life I guess!

Moving again
Posted 8 years agoI'm just going to leave a link to the Tumblr post and hope that gets read by anyone interested.
Short version is I'm moving and could be gone a while, no choice in it and very sudden. x3

Update! Problems!
Posted 9 years agoI'm REALLY sorry to say this, but after a while of trying it's being way too difficult pff. I haven't had relief from hot temperatures for a long while now, 30C and above inside my home day and night, hard to sleep. Working my computer too hard makes it so hot I can't bear to be near it. Same for my art tablet, it gets too hot and I just CAN'T keep going, needing to cool down.
I'm trying to work with my family and see when we'll be able to fix up the air conditioning thing again, but right now I can only work on art in very short bursts (30 minutes to an hour at a time) before I get way too hot. Plus the messed up sleep and sweating and whatnot, uncomfortable pff. My left ear keeps getting flooded and deafened. ;w;
So a td;lr is I'm still pushing out stuff, just REALLY slow compared to how I'd do it in good conditions. I hate that I've had a lack of content for the past year but it's been pretty chaotic and insane really. More soon, and hopefully I find a way to help fix our stuff. ;w;
Also for the new watchers, thank you for following!

Let's do this
Posted 9 years agoHi
https://youtu.be/DcJFdCmN98s
That is all.YOU BITE THE FRY, THE FRY BITES BACK-
THE CHEESE UP IN HERE, IS GOIN HAAAAAAM
In all seriousness, I'm feeling recovered now, gonna be uploading a lot as soon as I carve out some time for art. Wish I could stream, I'd be doing it daily! My current internet is pretty horrible, disconnecting every couple minutes pff. But yeah more stuff soon, this recovery phase took way longer than I thought.

Update again!
Posted 9 years agoMan I've spent a while not drawing. But it was all for the good of things, I promise
4 months practically of no pictures done, but my arm's fully recovered now and I'm not going insane over not being able to draw.
A.. lot happened in the past 4 months, it was a really rough time in general, but I feel a lot better today in particular and got a lot done - and will continue to! I have a lot to do, and will be uploading a lot more from now on, hopefully .w.
For the people who stuck around, thank you!

Posted 9 years agoI AGE. I GROW.
I still have a while to wait until I can draw again!
But yeah, July 4th, day of birth for the dude who owns this account, yes. Fireworks everywhere. .w.
Not much to say, just that I hope this next year goes a lot better!
*Edit* EVERYONE GIVE ME FREE ART NOW

IMPATIENCE. [Hiatus still]
Posted 9 years agoI hate that I did so much damage to my arm, I should've stopped drawing like 5 - 6 months ago. It's only been about a month since I was completely forced to stop, and I still have a month of recovery time left. On the bright side, I'll be way faster when I can eventually hold a pen again, on the downside.. ugh. Damage ranging from my hand, to wrist, all the way down the forearm to the elbow. I have been on the proper recovery path for about a month though.
This is obviously why I was hurting for so long, why I ignored it is beyond me. I was stubborn. x3
The downside is the first week or two of "relaxing" was cool, and now I'm going insane with impatience and wanting to draw stuff. Just trying to keep my mind off it as well as I can. Things don't seem to be recovering as fast as they should, but that could be (again) my impatience. I'm hoping this isn't permanent damage! So much stuff to do when better.
Also my birthday's coming up on July 4th, so that's cool. Totally didn't forget birthdays existed or anything, not at all. .w.

Hiatus
Posted 9 years agoI have been a bit dumb and haven't said this sooner, BUT
For the past few weeks / months I've been taking it really slow with art, hardly doing anything now that I think about it. A few days ago I decided to stop completely due to very intense pain in my hand and wrist, which has been present for a long time, just not to that intensity. Ended up making things worse by not taking a "complete" break.
Basically it's scared me enough to convince me about recovery time, and that's.. gonna take a while. I'm still here, and it's killing me to not be working on stuff, it has been for a long time. But as of now I'm officially on a "pause" while my arm heals up from this issue, it might take a few more weeks.. After all this I'm gonna start properly announcing streams and doing all the backed up artwork, I'd done a few test streams privately with groups of friends to test the waters. Anxiety and all that. x3
TD;LR - not gonna be posting for a while, hand needs to stop hurting, streams are a definite thing when recovered. (Don't expect viewer requests for a while, I really need to do the backed up commissions.)

Current Status Update
Posted 9 years agoCurrently I'm still in "recovery mode" from years and years of constant moving, family problems, losing contact with friends / the internet in general for months (and even one time, a year) at a time. Even though it's been nearly a month or two with everything stable and settled, I've.. had a lot of problems adjusting and clearing stress from my head.
I have a lot of anxiety. I can't even bring myself to talk to close friends sometimes because it feels like I'm doing something horribly wrong, for no good reason. I've spent the past month or so completely unable to do anything I'd like to, and tried stress relief (games, doodles to cheer up), all for the main reason; I can't make pictures with this mindset. The occasions I have made any pictures of "quality" lately were.. WELL. Trying to dig myself out of the stress-induced "art block" that I'm in right now!
I'm sure the best way to get over all this is to just set hours and a strict schedule about what I'm drawing. Maybe.. set up streaming schedules that actually stick. Currently I haven't done any. And don't worry about commissions, I still have everyone's details, information, date, etc. I'm wanting to get them done as soon as possible! That's actually one of the things that's been stressing me out so much, whoops..
I need help, basically. A lot of help. I'm obviously not coping by myself as I thought I could, it's been almost two months with no improvement, so.. Yeah. I'm going to be figuring out a schedule I can consistently work with, a list of which commissions to do in the streams, in which order, etc. Hopefully pull myself out of this "doodles only" slump I've been in for months, and give my commissioners what they paid for. And hopefully give my current watchers something to look at. x3
On a side note, it's pretty incredible to be close to three hundred watchers, even if I've been on FA for close to 8 years now. I'm glad to be progressing as much as I have! This is also a lot nicer of a journal than the one I typed out at 5 AM the other day, eheh. ))

Woah Internet.
Posted 9 years agoSo I unexpectedly have a nice internet connection for my home, it's about 5 MB/s (bytes) download and 2 or 3 MB/s upload.. This means my former statement about being unable to stream is now false. I used to use Furstream, but seeing as it's been a while I'll be looking at other sites and alternatives (hopefully ones that work with OpenBroadcaster)
This has made me incredibly happy and is very very good for both work and everything else I want to be doing, whoo.. x3 Just wanted to post up something about it while I figure stuff out. Expect art stream journals / links to pop up soon!

Move done. AGAIN
Posted 9 years agoGod I've been moved around too much. Anywaaay.
I'm here now, again. Proper contact and a good (if randomly unstable and slow) connection, so things are looking up..
Currently I can't stream, I've been attempting to increase my connection quality for about a day now to no avail, but I may be able to do either join.me sessions or simply live updates using puu,sh or other image sharing stuff for that. Noooow. It's time for me to get back to making pictures, I have a lot to do and a bit of a huge time gap between when I thought they'd get done, and now.
With that said, let's get to work .w. Thank you to all my watchers, friends and customers for the patience, I'm really sorry about the delays!

Posted 9 years agoAs of today I will be inactive and well, unable to be reached until we get internet at the new place. It is reliant on when the company we're buying from sets an installation date, but it will be as soon as possible. I've made sure of it. .w.
So iI'll probably be off for about two or three weeks, starting now - the 19th of February.
Once I get back and settled, online, I'm going to start doing the things I haven't been able to do for a while! Art streams, playing games with friends sometimes, actually having a regular upload schedule.. Doing the Tumblr stuff, being able to actually chat with people without randomly vanishing, all of these things and more!
I'll just ask that my watchers ( at least the ones who read journals) and friends especially wait patiently while I'm away. I'll be one hundred percent better about everything upon my return. ;w;

Update: Moving
Posted 9 years agoyes. Again.
Can I ever actually sit in one home for long periods of time? Who knows!
This is a special case though, since every time before now guaranteed not having internet access, this move has a very large likelihood of me getting home internet within a few weeks of moving in. It's shocking, I know. .w.
Within the next week I'm going to be swept off into yet another home, but with things going according to plan I should be back and ready to do all the things. This includes streaming art again, which I've missed doing quite a lot. And more regular posting of images, because currently being online and other things have eaten up a lot of daytime hours . x3
So yeah. Moving, not being gone forever in consequence, don't know how to take it. Just a short bout of complete inactivity, then everything will pick up nicely. That's the plan anyway!

lighttheshaymin Paid and queued upOKAY SO. Wow. So many things have been dragging me away from home or drained down all of my drawing time for the past month or two. I'm sincerely sorry about this, usually I try to finish commissions up within a week or two. Between being sick, a family member dying, then another moving in with my family in consequence, it's been a bit hectic.
Things seem to be settling down now though, so I'll definitely be back to work ASAP. Tonight, probably. I've not completely stopped drawing obviously, but the things i've been posting for the past while have been considered "doodles" by me, they took very little time and I haven't had the time for bigger works.
That being said, I could have sacrificed a few days of online time to work hard then, but I'd decided it wasn't worth not being in contact with the people I care about for a bit every day. From now on my schedule should be consistent and I should start posting up the due commissions quickly enough. Provided I can contact everybody and make sure things are good when I get to their image.
That's all though, just wanted to say I'm starting up work finally, and rambled a little. Whoops. .w.
2015's end obligatory New Year thing
Posted 9 years ago2015 has been an interesting year. I've learned a lot, met a few more awesome people to add onto the list of great friends I've known over the years, celebrated a second anniversary with the most amazing relationship I could imagine right now.. Had two deaths in my close personal family as well, an awesome aunt and much more recently, great-grandfather. His funeral's on the 2nd of January, meaning my 2016 year will start off rather grim.
Hopefully that will be the lowest point of my year, at the very start. I've been trying to figure out my schedule and work around my poor sleeping habits, which have been mostly influenced by diet and physical pain if I'm right about it. Apparently I'm not too young to be having these kinds of problems. x3
That being said, I'm going to turn 20 years old this year. It feels strange, as I started out in the furry community so long ago, before I even knew what anything was. I hadn't even hit puberty yet. Thank god I didn't upload any porn back then, huh?
I'm going to try starting out 2016 strong, sort out my submissions on FA into folders, settle into a proper work schedule, maybe start up a personal project or two. I've been holding those back due to my art skill not being high enough for them, but now I might be able to pull off the crazy ideas swirling around in my head!
With nearly all of my time still currently being occupied by family, and not having enough spare time to do more than doodle (though I'm surprised at what I call a doodle nowadays), commissions probably won't be worked on until after the first weekend of the year. With an actual schedule and plan for stuff, they should be posted at a regular rate soon. At least I'm hoping so! Visual art is such a strange medium to be working in.
That all being said, I've had a pretty uneventful year to go through, mostly being out of contact and off of the internet for huge chunks of it. My current situation isn't the best, but I'm grateful for it. You couldn't find public wi-fi spots like this around here a few years ago. Not being online at home does present problems, I can't stream, something I loved doing very often, can't play multiplayer games, can't chat and draw at the same time, can't be "fully" up to date on most things. But that'll all be sorted out eventually. .w.
Oh yeah, and I can't fully engage in my certain social media addictions. God help us all.
TD;LR, after this rough weekend coming up, things will kick off in a higher gear and I'll be uploading more frequently, especially with these commissions. I feel bad having taken so long. Planning out an actual schedule is probably my best decision for the start of the year!
Oh, and a New Year's resolution, huh.. My resolution last year was simply to be constantly working at improving my art, as much as I could. And I have been doing that all year, as much as possible. I guess I'll be redundant and just have the same one this year, plus an added "be better at getting important things done in a timely manner." Can't think of anything else!
So to all my watchers / followers out there, I hope you didn't mind reading this weird rambling for a bit. Have a great and hopefully happy New Year's Eve, and let's look forward to a great new year. I'm personally looking forward to all the new art, the new next Tomb Raider release on PC in a few days. And Dying Light's big update expansion thing. Shh <.< >.>;

I guess I'll be redundant and just have the same one this year, plus an added "be better at getting important things done in a timely manner." Can't think of anything else!
So to all my watchers / followers out there, I hope you didn't mind reading this weird rambling for a bit. Have a great and hopefully happy New Year's Eve, and let's look forward to a great new year. I'm personally looking forward to all the new art, the new next Tomb Raider release on PC in a few days. And Dying Light's big update expansion thing. Shh <.< >.>;
Four or Five Day Hiatus
Posted 9 years agoA close family member passed away at around 5 AM this morning, weekly and daily hospital visits aside, we knew it was coming.
87 year old great-grandfather who had been dealing with cancer for about two years now, we're probably going to do the traditional country thing of being with every family member possible between now and his funeral, which I'm expecting in a few days.
Death always makes me feel absolutely horrible, especially with family or friends, so apologies for the lessening of art lately. Even though I haven't really been that active for a while!
Juuust.. blah. I feel bad for having to go through the mourning process with all these things to do and how all these other things got in the way of any meaningful pictures too. I'm sad now, so drawing's going to be difficult, hopefully things get settled down eventually.

lighttheshaymin Paid and queued upIt was the night before Christmas..
Posted 9 years agoAnd all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring
..Nor my commission list.
Heeey everybody watching me for some odd reason, it's holiday time and I seem to have a severe lack of holiday uploads, my bad. .w.
During the next week or so I'm going to devote much more of my time to commissions, as I've been a bit dumb and spent my free hours practicing instead of "working". Then ending up passing out and losing whatever time I'd have otherwise. I have a horrible sleep schedule!
Going to work on that too, but for nooow, back to the list. And have a lovely holiday season everybody!

lighttheshaymin Paid and queued upI got caught up with an illness somewhere around Tuesday last week, and for some reason the thing is lingering around even now. The symptoms are pretty much the worst things for me to have, too, a constant cough and constant headache. Makes it extremely hard to draw. As such, as soon as I recover from this.. Cold? I'm not sure what it is - STILL
I'll be back to work as soon as the coughing fits go away, goodness. With a new upgraded tablet as well! That should be arriving in a day or few.
For all the commissioners out there, thank you for commissioning me! I usually don't take this long so I'm just feeling bad about it. .w.
Commissions! [Open]
Posted 10 years agoCurrent Prices:
Sketch: $5 per character, plus $5 for soft colors
Linework: $15 base, +5 per character, +5 for flat colors, +5 for soft shading. Background additions, $5 for a
simple background, $10 for a more complex piece.
Icons / Headshots: $10 base, color included, Linework quality, but adding shading will be +$2.
Paintings: Experimental currently, but the base price is $50, +$15 for each added character, +$20 to add detailed background. Paintings are fully shaded and colored in a different style than my other picture types.
No extra charge for clothing or accessories, though exceptionally complex items may be considered for extra. Also there is no difference between SFW and NSFW pricing, or not-porn and porn.
Not comfortable with and / or will not draw: Cub, Rape (especially this), Non consensual (sexual) activities, Heavy Bondage, Gore (This too), Watersports, Scat (And this.), etc. Will notify if the subject in question is something I will not draw!
Comfortable with and/or preferable to draw: Anthro Furries, Scalies, Feather..ies, Feral, Pokemon, Foot or Paw related things, Vore (usually soft), Action poses, Various body builds (thin, toned, pudge, fat, etc.), Expressions (my favorite thing to draw), Size difference
Things I am not confident in, and will probably result in poorer image quality if included: Architecture, Complex machinery, Firearms, Macro, Humans, Insects. Right now I am still focused on improving my anatomy and general workflow, so improving these particular things may take a while.
I take payment up front, through Paypal (USD), with updates through each part of my process for the commissioner if they request it (sketch, linework, coloring), and can make adjustments to the image upon specfication.
Please try to make your description of what you'd like me to draw as thorough as possible, as a lack of information usually causes me to scrap pictures repeatedly trying to find the right thing to do!
Any questions, I'll answer as thoroughly as possible. .w.
Example of Painting: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17847628/

Current Goal: $375 / $500
For funding a new graphic drawing tablet, as my current one seems to be seeing the end of its life span, poor thing. Bamboo is tough.

Notification!
Posted 10 years agoHello!
I haven't been the most active user on here for a while, that's my bad. I've been focusing most of my time to improving the quality of my work and doing hundreds of small images that by this point have no purpose being posted.
I'll post up some things soon enough, and the little announcement is that I'll be opening up commissions here next week. .w.
To pay for a new drawing tablet , which I'm partially funded for but I need quite a bit more to get to it. Funds are at $96 out of $500, and I'm determined to buckle down and do as many images in the next few weeks as possible!
So yeah! I'll be sorting out my prices (lower than they used to be, trust me), my commission limits (what I will and will not draw, for instance) and working out more current images to post here before opening commissions up next week. Anyone who wants something from me is certainly welcome. x3

Moving! ...Again!
Posted 10 years agoSurprise surprise.. x3
So we're being evicted from our home, that's usual I guess. Happens often. Leaving this weekend. Tomorrow or Sunday. So this is a mandatory "hey I'm gonna be gone for a long time again!" journal.
There's a small chance that I will be around a while longer, but it isn't permanent. We are apparently going to be staying in a hotel until we get a new place to live, or.. God forbid move back to Florida. The hotel will have free "high speed" wireless internet for use. Apparently.
I don't even know if being in that hotel is a stable thing, let alone the internet option - and even if they are, we probably won't be there for too long, going to a new home would still probably put me out of contact for a very long time. Probably.
Since there's no real certainties about the situation, save for us being homeless, I can't say for sure what will happen either way! All I can say is I'll miss everyone here, and all of my friends, loved ones and so on, and that I will be working at my art as much as possible. .w.
Sucks though, I got a bunch of new watchers recently and am disappearing now! I'll be back, of course!
Have a good day, night and everything else, anyone reading this, and thanks for reading in the first place!

A nifty way to follow commissions.
Posted 10 years agoI seem to have stumbled my way into an interesting collaborative commission list with 
freespirit59
He, along with myself, will be keeping up-to-date trackings on our commissions and works (hopefully) using this Trello board. https://trello.com/b/exnxVdc9/commissions-requests
Plus we may do collaborative art pieces, that will be fun. x3
Go give him a watch if you haven't already, he makes cute bres. And is one.
My commission status can still be found on my profile for anyone who checks it often, this board is just.. more interactive, I suppose!

Slight Update, another will happen when it's needed.
Posted 10 years agoI'll direct your attention to here, http://trifox1.tumblr.com/post/1173.....04308/right-so
In short, the huge argument / one sided shouting between myself and family settled, and I was apologized to for it. Don't think I'll be thrown out now. Which is a relief.. but raises other issues. I still need to be prepared to leave, it's not like it'll never happen!
And my siblings are still in foster care, not that I know if it's a good or bad thing at this point. I would think they would grow up in a better place like this. Maybe.
So for now, as I wait, back to my art and hopefully a batch of commissions, which I'll have open again. If something happens between getting your payment and finishing the commission, I will refund before having a dissappearance. But I don't believe I'll be vanishing now, so whoo.. x.x
