This is for those who I currently owe art. Want you to know that it -is- being worked on and I'm not trying to get anyone's hopes up just to smash them.



FREE ART:
 arizonacrow - YCH Free Art Raffle - linework complete


COMMISSIONS:
 balalika - Flat-color, 1 character - sketch in progress
 mocksgrizzly - flat-color, 3 characters - in planning stage

But things are slightly different. There's multiple prizes up for grabs, and the grand prize is an entire sketch page - with the hard copy mailed to your location!

Our host this round is  Kyma.


Journal is here!
--> http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4600903/ <--


Read the rules, and good luck!



(But don't forget about our emergency commissions going on! They're rather important!)

Okay, so remember this journal?

Well, the situation has gone from code orange to red, they need all the help we can get!



- mess1ah will be taking specialty commissions starting on the 8th. Slots start at $60. If you are a fan of his butt doodles (or art in general), you should check them out! You can read about it here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4606559/

-Alternatively, I'm still taking $10 flat-color commissions to help them out. Just read the journal posted at the beginning of this one for more info.

- stormychang is also opening up a donation pool, as this affects her as well. If you're feeling really generous, particularly high donators will receive an art piece in return! Read about it here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4607022/


This is important for multiple people and we'd all greatly appreciate it if you contributed. Seriously. This is to keep a friend from going homeless. Even if it's only five dollars, any and every bit counts. Thanks so much!

UPDATE!
The situation is worse than we thought. This is no longer just about getting a friend cross-country, this is about keeping a roof over a friend's head! Read full details here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4606760/



So,  stormychang is in a bit of a bind. She's planning on moving cross-country soon, but due to circumstances outside her control, she's a bit short on cash. So I've offered my aide. I'll be doing a handful of flat-color commission slots. All of the money will go towards her move. Help me help her!







Rules & Regs:
-Slots will be for single character flat-colors, clothed or nude, for $10. Additional characters may be added, but will cost extra. Discuss with me on how much depending on complexity/number.
Examples: 1, 2, 3 (NSFW)
-Must have a visual ref of the character.
-I reserve the right to reject any offer if I feel it is above my skill level or something I'm uncomfortable with. I won't post a list of do's/don't's, but please look through my gallery before you note me a commission offer. It never hurts to know the artist's strengths and weaknesses before you make an offer! If you're still unsure whether or not your commission is acceptable, just ask! The worst I can say is no. ^^






Note me if you are interested in a slot, and I will respond to you as soon as I can. If the offer is OK'ed, payment will be due before I start on the artwork. The transaction will be done via paypal and must be in USD. I will get them done as soon as possible, and there will be occasional streams!

Again, all of the money is going to help out . Therefore, when you go to pay for the commission, you will be sending it to her paypal, not mine.

^^paypal^^



Do not pay until I've OK'ed the commission!






SLOTS:








I will leave commissions open until I feel I have a sizable workload that isn't overwhelming. The floodgates are open, so get them while you can! It's for a good cause!

And I'm just sittin' here drawing Mini-Michiis.




But no seriously, I am working on those ych raffle pics. I should be finished with the first one by the end of this week, and I'll start working on the second right after that.


Honest. I swear. Cross my heart and hope to die.




I am a horrible person when it comes to deadlines. ;.;

Congratulations! I'll send you both a PM informing you that you won the raffle. Please get back to me ASAP to confirm your prize and to send me any specific character details that I should know about. I will start working on these this weekend and will get them done as soon as I can.


To everyone else who entered, don't get down! The turnout for this was bigger than I expected! I'll definitely do another one of these in the future. Thank you very much for participating! I hope you stick around 'til next time!

On top of the one I'm hosting,  xkamui is hosting a free art raffle. One picture! Four slots! Male and female! Take a look-see!

^Right there^


Make sure to read all the rules. Good luck to all who enter!










And don't forget about mine!

I'll try and make this as short as possible, but I've basically been doing a lot of thinking about my life and the people I've met along the way. I've made contact with a lot of people in my life both on and away from the computer. One thing that's always swirling in the back of my head is how I've impacted other's lives. I don't know if that sounds nosy or conceited, but it's how I feel.


Basically, the reason I'm posting this journal is to ask you all a simple question: What do you think of me as a person?


This is in no means a call for feel-good/white-knighting. I'm genuinely curious as to your opinions of me. Both good and bad. Take this as an opportunity to tell me everything you've ever wanted to tell me. The stuff you say about me when I'm not around. The things you've wanted to tell me but there's never been a situation where it would be appropriate to bring it up. Have I wronged you in the past and you want to yell at me about it? Now's the chance. I want to know. It doesn't matter if we've known each other for years or if you only had a couple of chat conversations with me. The instantaneous impressions matter just as much as the long-term ones.

There's no rush to send me an answer, because I want you to seriously think your reply through. You think I'm an asshole? Tell me why. Was there a specific event or something I said that brought this up?


The impressions I leave on other people matter a lot to me, and I want to make sure, in the 20 years I've lived on this planet, that I'm leaving the right ones. So please, if you would be so kind, take the time to respond to this. I'd greatly appreciate it.



Also, for the sake of privacy, send your responses in Private Messages please. I don't want anyone's business to be out there. The responses will be entirely confidential, and I won't share them with anyone.

Been wanting to do one of these for a while. This is your chance to ask my characters whatever your curious mind desires! You can direct it to a specific one or two characters, or leave it open for all of them to answer. It'll be fun, and a great chance to learn a little more about their backstory (or not - depends on how much they're willing to share!). So go ahead, fire away!

Don't remember who my characters are? Then take a quick look through here! (All ref sheets are NSFW)

Stacy
Maya
^Alyssa^ - technically still Maya, but it'll be fun to hear from her psychotic side every now and then.

I'm interested in seeing what you all ask. Open the floodgates!

 rocksteady is doing a special kind of fighting tourney where you "Sign up" your characters to fight in it. If your team wins, you get free art! How cool is that?!

Look Here!

Be sure to check out the journal for the full rules and details. Sounds like a lot of fun!

So, nobody caught the 1k kiriban. I kinda expected this, with me announcing it so close. So what I'm gonna do is push the # back a bit. We'll shoot for 1,100 views. Still relatively close, but enough time so that it won't pass you by.

So I glanced at my page today and realized I'm only 30 away from 1000 pageviews. Took me by surprise. My art's noTt that interesting, is it?


Anyway, Decide to try my hand at this fun thing the community likes to do called Kiribans! Whoever catches the 1000th view will get an art piece!

-One character, male or female
-Lined, colored, shaded, simple background
-G/PG/PG-13

Well there ye' go. Put on your reading spectacles and keep an eye on that view counter!

 MissInk Is open for commissions! Complex busts with shading and a background! All for a reasonable price! Go check her out. Her artwork has been steadily improving, and she could use the money!




Also, I'm extending the date of the Cosplay Raffle to December 10th, 2012. This will allow a bit more time for folks to get their entries in. Don't be shy. A little free art never hurt anyone!

Details on the raffle in this journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4040185/

So, I'm opening up my free chibi flats again!

Same as before, opening up four slots. One slot per person. Only difference is that I'm closing them for the first week to new entries only. After that, if there are still slots left unfilled, I'll open them up to those who got one last time.

Here's an example. (Character © Mess1ah)

What I WILL draw:

-Females
-Males
-Ferals
-Naughty Bits
-Chubby/Plump characters


What I WON'T draw:
-Straight-up porn
-Copyrighted characters (Sonic, Pokemon, MLP, etc.)
-Overly complex/mecha/fat characters



I know this is a very barren list, so please don't be afraid to ask if you're not sure!

List of taken/open slots is at the bottom of the page.

Remember those Touhou Cosplay Flats I was selling (and still am)? Well, I'm going to raffle off a slot for free!


These drawings are colored flats with a simple background of your characters dressed up in one of the many elaborate outfits from the Touhou Project.

Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9180625/

To simplify things, The raffle will only cover costumes from one game. If this catches on, I'll do a raffle for each game. Starting from 6 and eventually moving up through 13.

This round's game is Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Costume choices are:

Rumia
Daiyousei
Cirno
Hong Meiling
Koakuma
Patchouli Knowledge
Sakuya Izayoi
Remilia Scarlet
Flandre Scarlet
Reimu Hakurei (EoSD outfit - farthest left)
Marisa Kirisame (EoSD outfit - farthest left)

The winner will get to choose from the above costumes to put their character in.




TO ENTER:
1) Make a journal advertising this one (I doubt anyone will enter, otherwise!)
2) Post a comment here giving your character's name, ref, and your costume of choice. I will respond with a number, and throw all of the entries in a random number generator. I will also screencap this so that people will know I'm not cheating.
3) Also, to make sure you've read the rules, add "Popsicles" somewhere in your post. Don't have to use it in a sentence, just leave it in your post.


The drawing for the winner has been extended to 12:00 Midnight, CST, December 10, 2012.

I'll only allow female characters to enter this raffle for simplicity's sake. Aside from that, all other guidelines from the free chibi slots apply here as well. Again, if you're not sure about a character, just ask!


That's all for now! I look forward to seeing your entries!
