As promised, first place will receive a free CG'd picture of any character you want with a simple BG and a free full-body lineart of any character of theirs.

AND for second place: since I have been given the privilege to work on commissions in my independent art study class, I will be doing a full-body traditional piece with a simple bg, with a free digital fullbody sketch.

I'm terribly sorry for not updating, or posting commissions the past few weeks.

I've been back in school and I'm currently in 4 art classes (art III, independent art study, elements of the arts, and computer art) and it was put a lot of work on my shoulders that I have to spend all of my free time on.

Unfortunately, I've showed my artwork to my teachers, and they do not approve that "furry art" is an acceptable form to be using in school, so they are basically keeping me from drawing furries for projects.

So, it's kept me really busy and I haven't forgotten about you guys.

So I am going to try to squeeze in every minute I can to finishing projects for here~

ALSO:

I have a seperate account for a special series I'm trying to complete based on some characters/a story that I've been composing.  grotesk <---- It is freshly made, and nothing on it yet. :0

Again, I'm sorry for the lack of activity the past few weeks.

Okay, I'm losing a lot of my money doing frivolous shopping, and want to save up for an anime convention (Nekocon) in November.
SO:

I'm doing 50 $2 full-body, simple color sketch commissions to make at least $100 by Nov.
You can order as many as you want, and please don't send payment to my paypal (rabid.octos@yahoo.com) until the final image is submitted.

You can note me or comment here!

I will keep a WIP list here of anyone who commissions

$60.00 Total!!

Okay, I've been playing around with my fursona's design for years now and I cannot make anything that doesn't already resemble an existing character of mine.

SO...
I decided I'd open a contest for whoever can design a fursona based on my preferences (below).
There will be a 1st and 2nd place, and this is a purely design-wise contest and not a art one! (meaning if you suck at drawing it won't matter as long as the design works!)

1st place: A free CG'd picture of any character you want with a simple BG and a free full-body lineart of any character of theirs.
ex: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4242918/
ex: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4215137/

2nd place: A free simple shaded, full body picture with simple BG " " " " " and a free fullbody sketch " " " " "
ex: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4222534/
ex: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4256581/ (not a "full" body, but you get the style I'm talking about)

What I'm looking for:
Okay, just to put this out there: I like ICP, but I loved evil clowns long before I knew they existed. Partly stems from a love of a certain area of a theme park that around Halloween time is dedicated to evil circuses and evil amusement parks.

So if the design can revolve around: Dark/evil circuses, neon colors (a color palette that would be helpful can be found here: http://www.colourlovers.com/palette.....3667/Mad_Clown) and whatever clothing/accessories comes to your imagination!

A base for anyone who wants to know what the species look like, or just wants to simply color/alter it for laziness xD

Okay, I've been having some technical difficulties with Paint Tool Sai, so it's been hindering me from drawing on it.

Every time I go to open a file, it shows some error code on the bottom right hand corner of the window. After I open something or go to draw afterwards, it doesn't recognize pen pressure and lags.
Is this normal or did I catch (another) virus?

Thanks to and idea by  sideik666 , I decided to do a HUGE, fully CG'd group picture with 1 character per person who caught my kiriban.

If you caught my kiriban, just post here with a ref of whoever you want done in the group pic!

:D

O___________O

SO MANY PEOPLE GOT MY GODDAMN KIRIBAN.

I was expecting 1, maybe 2 as a coincidence, but there must be at least 15 of you!

@.@ naiuhfifsnhsiubgf idk what to do, whether I should give you all something or go back and look who caught it earliest or SOMETHING.

You people are stalkers xD

Okay, in my prev journal it says anyone who catches my 1000 gets a free request with limitless characters, simple shading, and a bg...

WELL I'm going to bump it up a notch and make that simple shading into soft shading like my last few works x3

Screenie, camera or phone pics are fine with me <3

Am i going to get my first 1000 pageviews soon?

Whoever catches it gets a free request of a full-body, limitless characters, simple shading and bg in the picture <3

XD A screenie is kind of mandatory

Okay, so I've been trying to lose a little weight to fit into a dress by November, but I think by doing this I'm being anorexic without...trying?

1. I drink at least 5 bottles of water a day. It may be healthy, but I drink them to suppress appetite and cleanse out the food I happened to eat that day.

2. I eat less than 900 calories a day. I cut out soda completely, don't eat any servings with more than 150 calories.

3. Breakfast isn't eaten because I usually wake up around 2-4 in the afternoon, go straight to my boyfriend's house, where there is almost NOTHING to eat there.

4. Cut out almost any food I used to enjoy (brownies, hot pockets, MEAT, etc.)

5. I take REALLY RIDICULOUSLY small portions. Like last night, I had a plate of plain spaghetti about or smaller than the size of my fist for dinner. Afterward I felt fat :/

6. In the past 2 weeks, I went from 110 lbs to about 104 lbs (I'm 5' 4")

It started as just trying to lose an inch to fit my waist into a dress, and making myself healthier, but escalated into this. Help??

I have all the items ready to buy from eBay for my Nekocon cosplaying outfit.

BUT, dad REFUSES to give his credit (it's actually a debit card) information out to PAYPAL.
As much as I try to stress to him that it's safe, and that if people were being ripped off/getting billing mistakes with it, it would have been more public and at least FIXED by now (since it's all eBay is letting you pay with nowadays).

It's making me mad because this dress only has 5 days left on it, and my dad always says "I'll get you your own card tomorrow...next week..." and it was never done.

The dress doesn't cost a lot, in fact, the entire outfit (4 peices to it) cost less than $150, so it's not like I'm putting it up on high stakes.

EUGH. That's the end of my adolescent hissyfit XC

At a low, low price, of course? :D

I just want to know some info, since  nuregami insists I get a lamination machine and make some money by making... keychains and badges!

What/who would you want to see a keychain made of? (anime is fine too)
How much would you pay for one?
Am i worthy of making them??

Willing to do a full-body trade, to put it out there what else I can do digitally, so I'm not a one-trick pony with the adoptables ;'D

Please....a ref would be fantastic.
Reply if you're interested...

And if someone asks first, don't think I won't consider one for you @.@ Go ahead and ask: I'm rly nice

would anyone buy full body/chibi/sketch commissions from me, at really low prices??

(like, $5 or below?)

Yes? No? Maybe?
Feedback appreciated :3

My pen tablet (an Intuos 4 Proffessional/ medium size) Has been acting up a lot.

It has been SUPER SENSITIVE with the pen strokes, like, even when i take the pen off the surface, it will just continue the stroke with an annoying thin line that goes everywhere the pen goes.

This is abnormal from when I first started using it, and it is becoming difficult to CG art because of this.
