STREAMING FINAL FANTASY IX [OFFLINE]
Posted 9 years agoPrepare to be a little bored though.
For this playthrough, I'm trying to max some abilities eariler on, and stealing lots of items. lol
Even boss battles will take longer, since the bosses tend to drop good shit before you would normally get it.
Anywho.

Would like to hear your thoughts
Posted 9 years ago
On another commission idea. One I've been tossing around for a while. lol
How would you all feel about me doing unlimited flat colored busts for a while?
They would look like these:
with less facing to the left, likely lol
x | x | x | x | x
And they would be $5 a piece.
Because they are small, and easy. ♥
Thoughts? Feelings?
Or should I stay the course with full body flat colored stuff instead? lolMay open for commissions again + Art Trades!!
Posted 9 years agoObviously, I'm working on the YCH that 
won. However, I may be opening for some other commissions soon too.
Mostly cel shaded headshots for about $12 - $15, and flat colored full body pictures for ~$25 - $30. These, of course are discount.
Normal prices are generally a bit higher, but I know that lots of people are struggling to afford stuff like this ATM.
I'm also considering reducing the price on my other YCH. Haven't fully decided on that tho.
As for Art Trades, would anyone be interested in those? I can't promise when I would open for them, but they are lots of fun to do! c:
And I'm wanting some art of some characters, that I just can't afford to get commissions of ATM. ;A;
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE
Posted 9 years agoI'M GETTING REALLY DAMN OLD.
Haha well actually 28 isn't too bad.
But it's still a little crazy.YCHs COMING SOON
Posted 9 years agoThat's right! I will have a 2 to 3 YCHs coming in the next couple of days!!
Two will be cleaned up poses that I had offered as ideas for another commission.
And I may do a third one just for giggles. c:
I haven't currently decided if I should do auction style or flat pricing.
What would you all prefer?
At any rate, do keep your eyes peeled!Off to the vet [UPDATE x2]
Posted 9 years ago[UPDATE #2 06-01-2016 7:55pm]
I just got the call about 20mins ago from the vet!
She said that the surgery went very well, and he did great.
As it turns out, the item obstructing his bowel was not plastic. Not by any means.
Instead it was a 'glow ball', one of those fuzz balls with the iridescent fibers.
I about smacked my forehead when she told me that. Because I knew exactly what she was talking about.
It was about two or three weeks ago, but my mom had been playing with Connor and Sorsha. Sorsha loves the glow balls.
However, when she was giving them out for them to play with, Connor immediately ate one. So, my mom immediately threw the rest away.
It had been long enough, we had assumed that he had passed it through his system with no issues.
But instead, it seems that it had become compounded, and wouldn't budge past the first 1/3 of his small intestine.
Connor... My stupid, adorable baby.
I shake my head in frustration and amusement.
Anyway, she said that she also palpated his tummy and found nothing, and checked the rest of his small intestine.
And everything is great. She said he bowels are very healthy, just a little distended.
She also said his bowels were QUITE HAPPY once the obstruction was removed. lol
He will be spending the night alone, in the cone-of-shame (since he's a licker). She said she will check up on him later tonight.
And tomorrow we will find out if he can come home, or if he needs another day to recover there.
He will also be on a round of antibiotics, because of bowel fluid leakage when she was opening him up.
And he's under a pain med that will last three days. ♥
I'm so happy. While this certainly puts me into the 'debt hole' even more.
I'm just glad he was taken care of. I don't think I'd be able to deal with it if he died.
We may have three cats, and I love them all. But Connor is my baby, my son. ;v; I want him around more than a year and seven months.
[UPDATE #1 06-01-2016 5:53pm]
Alright! So, as you all know I took my cat, Connor, to the vet this morning.
The place I went to is called the 'Boise Cat Clinic'. It's discount veterinary services.
The people there are kind and wonderful, and the doctor is pleasant and helpful.
She explains things slowly, and is up front about the costs. Something I very much appreciate!!
So, I took him, and she did the preliminary exam for him. She could tell he was quite sick, but kept complimenting him and me.
Saying he was very good (not trying to run away a lot), a very beautiful boy, and that he had good teeth.
Her initial exam didn't find anything, so she asked if I was okay with x-rays. I, of course, said yes. X-rays would help show if anything is in there.
So, she took him and did the X-rays, then took me and showed me all about them. She said, at the time, that she couldn't see any obstructions.
She did say, however, that his tummy is a little distended and his small intestine as well. Likely from a back up of gas.
(at this point the visit was about $258)
She then told me, that she would be sending the pictures to her radiologist to get a second opinion on them.
See if they could see anything she hadn't. And with that, I left. Went to get my mom's car which has been having troubles, and went out to eat.
While out to eat, the vet called, and she told me that the radiologist also hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary. Just the distention.
She then asked if I wanted to do labs to check if it was anything else, as well as if I would like to do an ultrasound.
I said yes to both. The labs to make sure he was healthy otherwise (he's quite young, so I figured he probably was)
And the ultrasound to really see if there was anything stuck in there.
(at this point the total for his visit had reached $730~ish)
Just a bit ago, she called again. I unfortunately missed the initial call, because I was napping.
However, I quickly called back, and she told me the following:
His labs came back great. He's a perfectly healthy cat, no other problems. The only thing he might have is mild asthma.
And this was something she pointed out in the X-ray stage. She's not overly worried about that currently.
However, she then told me that his ultrasound did actually find something, half way through his lower intestine.
She's not quite sure if it is a piece of plastic, as it seems to be round and is about a centimeter in diameter.
She did, however, say that it is obstructing his bowels. And is what is making him such a sick baby. ;v;
She was very glad that I brought him in today, because he is so young, and it's sad to see him so sick.
So, I gave the go-ahead to get him into surgery tonight. She's going to mostly be focusing on his bowels to get the item out.
But, she will also be palpating his tummy a bit, in case there's anything else stuck in there. He will be recovering, by his lonesome, over the night tonight.
She said she will call me after the surgery is complete. c: Which is awesome.
He may be 'cone-of-shame'd, since he has an issue with licking excessively. But we shall see. He may be able to come home tomorrow or the day after.
She said it depends on how long it takes for him to bounce back after the surgery. I also paid the initial cost for everything.
(current cost for everything $1000)
I will update with more later!
So, a few days ago, based on what my mom told me, my cat, Connor, ate some plastic.
Not entirely surprising, seeing as he likes to chew on it, though eating it is a new development.
I was worried, but hoped for the best that a bit of olive oil would help him pass it easily and with no fuss.
Well... no go. While he hasn't gotten excessively worse, he is very sick.
At first he stopped eating entirely, and would only drink water.
Then, over the last couple of days we've been able to give him little bits of food, but not a lot.
As such, he's lost weight. Thankfully he's be continually drinking lots of water.
I feel terrible for waiting so long, and I realize now I should have just immediately taken him to the vet.
However, I have made an appointment, and he will get the proper attention he needs to take care of this soon.
I both feel guilty for waiting and thinking he'd be able to just power through it like he has with everything else (including an extreme cold)
and relieved that he will be taken care of. Hopefully I haven't waited too long, though. :/ I don't want to lose my baby.
This will also put me further into the hole finacially... but you know what? At least he'll be taken care of.
It'll just take longer to pay off all the debt. lol
Also, I'm eliminating all of the plastic in my room. B|
That way he has far less of a chance of doing this again.
*rubs face*
Wish us luck.

Update about the Creepy Guy
Posted 9 years agoNothing particularly eventful yet. I suspect he won't be in for another couple of weeks to a month.
However, I was able to tell one of my other managers, an assistant manager, Marcus about the guy.
I... kind of ended up breaking down and crying a bit because I've been stressed out since my first day off from work.
(I still need to tell the store manager, Mark, though I did talk to Marcus, and said if he can tell him about it, that's great too.
I can't always corner Mark long enough to really talk. lol)
Anyway, I'd told him about the weird stuff he'd done before, and he had remembered when I told him about the guy wanting my number.
Anywho, as soon as I told him, through tears, that the guy had asked if I lived alone, and then where I lived.
The first thing out of his mouth was;
"The next time he comes in, call me up, and I will kick him out."
I of course said okay, and went "I just... I've never had to deal with this before. And it's gone from strange to completely terrifying."
And he said "Yeah. You shouldn't HAVE to deal with it. That's just not okay."
Thank you Marcus. ;v; Oh thank you.
I also ended up telling one of my other cashier co-workers, and she was weirded out by it too.
I just... FFF my god. I've never been this anxious and scared ever. I kept praying the guy wouldn't come in.
Even though it's not customary for him to come in frequently.
Creepy Guy At Work
Posted 9 years agoSo, over the last few months, there's been this dude that comes in. Sometimes it's every couple of weeks.
Sometimes it's once a month. But, as of late, I've grew to dreading the very moment he walks in.
Why? Because he's a creep. He's also twice my age... though I don't usually give a fuss about age.
But in this case...
Let me explain though. When he comes to my till, he whispers at me.
And gets obviously uncomfortable if there's someone in line behind him.
Because, I'm assuming, he knows what he is doing is wrong.
The first time I ever met him, he asked me if I was single.
I answered truthfully, because I'm like "weird question, but whatever."
He then asked if I'd like to go out some time. Trying to be polite, I gave a non-commital 'maybe'.
He asked a few more times the next couple of times he came in, and I gave more non-commitals, attempting to be polite.
A few weeks to a month ago, he came in and asked for my number, very blatantly.
He wouldn't leave until I gave it to him, but instead I lied and said I didn't remember my number.
So he finally left after that. I just kind of shrugged it off, though I felt uncomfortable.
Today, he came in, and I saw him and immediately internally went "fuckkkkkk".
He comes to the till with a purchase, while I'm checking someone else through, and I dally with that customer a bit so someone will get in line behind him.
When it's his turn in line, not only does he comment on how he's not happy there's someone in line behind him.
But he asks me if I live alone. I shake my head at him, eyes widening, and he asks if I live with my mom then.
Well, it's not a lie, I just don't tell him I also live with my dad, so I just nod at him.
Get this... He then asks where I live, so he can come visit.
I just go "uhmmm..."
I've finished his transaction, so I'm now handing back his change, and he grabs my hand and holds it there.
And makes me promise that I'll tell him next time. So I say "... okay." so that he will leave.
I am beyond uncomfortable, now, and verging into fucking terrified.
I don't want to bring this man's race into it, because A.) not quite sure what it is.
And B.) I don't want it to seem like I'm afraid of him and his advances simply because of his race.
In my mind, I want to say that the next time he comes in, I'm just going to tell him to stop.
But let's be real here, I'm soft spoken, and I try not to offend so hard, that people take advantage of it.
Chances are I'm just going to get even more meek...
But, at the very least, I think I'm going to talk about it with my store manager...
And probably, the next time I see him, I'm going to call whomever is the manager up to check him out themselves.
Or get him to stop bothering me. Because my god.
(this is all worse, because, I never in my life before this job, had more than one guy interested in me ever.
I literally don't know how to process male interest, because I was of the opinion that I wasn't attractive [too fat] or 'wantable' [too 'boyish'] to men.
So knowing how to handle this is just out the window, I've never had to deal with it before.
Sure there's been a few creepy dudes at Dollar Tree. But they haven't been as aggressively creepy as this guy has.

Just FYI
Posted 9 years agoI'll likely be closing the current commission sale after finishing my last three slots.
(all of which are in the flats stage, awaiting either requests for color edits or approval to move on to shading)
Not, because I no longer need the money, but simply because I want to start working on some other things.
My plan, once I close down the current commissions, is to sell a few possible pre-pose commissions.
Since I scribbled up some extra poses for one of my commissioners to choose from.
I'm also going to start designing the adoptables/adoptable base I pre-sketched some time last year.
Starting out with a non-closed species, of unicorns (with some bicorns and tricorns too!)
And then eventually moving into at least one of my closed species.
I will also be sketching up some YCH type things for my adult account (aen)!
Which I'm pretty excited for. c: First round of those, I plan to have it be a few ychs with my characters.
I'll be choosing the characters of course.
Of course, I'll also be finishing up WIPs, some pictures in trade with a friend of mine ;33
As well as fussing with some extra art for a character I am planning on selling.
(might also be opening a shop on gaia, but there's other various shit I have to work on for that)WoW Fic Teaser
Posted 9 years agoActually this is just my favorite part thus far. I wrote it quite a few months back, considering it's part of the second chapter,
but I still laugh every time I go back through to see how the story is going, or if there's anything I feel like adding.
For a bit of background and context, they are in a camp full of tents (think sort of like Mulan I guess? Or M.A.S.H.? But non-militaristic),
and each person working together in this camp has their own tent, of course.
There's also a tent where they can go eat, and one where they go to get their assignments.
In this case, they are in the tent to get their assignments.
Azraeus has only just met Halius the day before, and doesn't really like him.
This is supposed to take place, post-stealing the Divine Bell via Dalaran.
So, it should be pretty obvious why he doesn't like him immediately. ;3 Anywho, on with the teaser!
“So… why are we the last two here in this tent then?” he watched Rivanna attempt not to laugh again, and then looked to his right as he saw Halius move to scratch his chin nonchalantly… knowingly.
“Surely it’s obvious why?” Rivanna supplied, leaning on a palm and giving Azraeus another pointed look.
“No…”
Azraeus bristled as he heard Halius snort in amusement, directing a frustrated look at the Blood Elf from the corner of his eye. He swore he saw him grin slightly in response, before crossing his arms and lowering his head patiently.
Rivanna had been right, this Blood Elf was extremely quiet. He didn’t run his mouth nearly enough.
“Well, I did say you’d likely be paired with someone…”
“... What.”
“Oh, Azraeus, come now. Surely you can put the differences between you aside for a while, and work together to fix something.”
“But… he’s a…” Azraeus floundered for words. What was more poignant? The fact that Halius was a Blood Elf or a Sunreaver? Or both? “... unsavory individual.”
“You’re no bundle of sunshine yourself.” Halius quipped, casting his gaze up to the roof of the tent and sighing.
“Boys.” Rivanna said quietly, sure of where this was going to go.
“I don’t know what you are talking about. I’m perfectly decent.”
“Well, you did kick dirt on me.”
“That was an accident…”
“And you’ve insulted me twice now.”
“Well I --”
“BOYS!”
Halius and Azraeus both jumped, ceasing their quibbling and giving Rivanna their full attention. She was laughing, though the look on her face was somewhat stern.

Hahaha, damn my teeth [UPDATE]
Posted 9 years agoPerhaps a little tmi, but I swear it didn't hurt.
Anyway, I have genetically shit teeth, meaning they get cavities and break easily.
Add to this, that I have a really, REALLY horrid 'sweet tooth'. lol So, lots of sugar intake.
Especially candies.
Anywho... I went to Deadpool last night (great movie!), and was eating caramel corn I had bought.
Well, about a minute into munching away, I passed my tongue along my teeth (to get at any hulls)
And realized there was something missing on my front, left canine.
Turns out the lower part had broken in half. :/
I'm pretty angry about it, but I guess I'm not surprised.
I've been struggling with a cavity on the same tooth for ages now.
I really wish I wasn't in debt/had the extra money! That way I could go to the dentist for these things.
But, sadly. :T
I'll just have to save up, after I clear all of my debt, and get my issue teeth fixed.
*grumbles*
[update 4/28/2016]
HAHAHAHAHA...
The other half of the lower part of my tooth broke away while eating a piece of pizza.
/sighhhhhhhhh
Now I just have the upper part of the tooth left, that still has the cavity in it. Hilariously.
You'd have thought that, of all places, that's where it would break. But I guess not.Do you ever

Create something and really want to share it? And yet you feel to shy to share it?
And too self-conscious? Because I've been feeling that way lately. Not drawings related of course.
But I'm writing a personal, passion project. About a couple of WoW characters I made up.
It's been slow going, since I don't even write on it once a month. lol But sometimes I consider sharing it.
And then I just get all anxious and jittery about it. lulz Think maybe I'm the only one who will find it at all charming.
Anyone else know what this is like?Characters for Sale and Trade!

A Curious Question
Posted 9 years agoThat I actually asked on my adult-art account.
If anyone interested in that sort of thing would please answer it for me, I would be grateful!
You can find it here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7455478/Little bit of delay--
Posted 9 years agoI'm actually working five days this week.
Which, while exhausting for me, does mean there will be more money coming in for my next check.
So I may have to push the opening of commissions back a few days to a week. B|
Because I'll likely be tired a lot. And being tired isn't conducive to actually working on commission examples. lulz
Thank you guys for the support, however! ;v; You all are awesome.When life gives you lemons...
Posted 9 years ago
You blow life's manager up with them. lol
But in all seriousness, I've been having an entertaining few days.
Lots of computer troubles that have culminated in my needing to get a new hard drive.
Basically, I've been listening to my HDD click for days, and suffered with my system freezing up,
and I knew it couldn't be anything good. But I didn't want to have to go out and get a new one,
so I sort of crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. But, Monday night/Tuesday morning,
I needed to restart my computer for whatever reason. I can't remember why.
And when I did so, my system told me that my OS couldn't be found.
There was a couple of other things it said (like choose a different drive, I believe...) and then to restart the computer.
When I restarted the computer, my OS thankfully booted up.
But I spent the rest of the night/early early morning transferring things. As it turns out, my external harddrive is failing as well...
But I was more worried about the internal one. :P Needless to say,
I knew better than to hope my drive could last another month or two, and went to bestbuy yesterday afternoon to buy a new Harddrive.
The original idea was to get an HDD again. All that storage is nice. But then I started reading up on specs.
And found out that Solid State Drives are better for gaming and the like.
And I do a lot of that when I'm not arting. They are also, from what I was reading, better for video rendering.
So bene on that front as well.
So, I looked around, and got one of the medium sized SSDs for about $113 before tax and $135 or so after tax. :|
With money I don't have of course. (in other words, credit card).
Needless to say, I'm certainly going to need to finish up my last Valentines ACEO,
put together some examples and open commissions soon. Should happen by the end of this week, or the middle of next.
Do keep your eyes peeled! I need all the help I can get depleting some of my debt. ;A;
Stuff like this doesn't help it, of course.Emergency Commissions Soon!
Posted 9 years ago
Gonna figure out what I want to do as emergency commissions over the next couple of days.
Admittedly it's not a big huge emergency, but I'm only being given one day this following week at my work...
And as you might imagine, I can't subsist on that. lol I need to make a bit more to survive my bills.
Would y'all prefer YCHs or just multiple commissions, like sketches or flat-colored pieces?Syfiel Pinup Process Video!!
Posted 10 years agoThis one for the shading on the Syfiel Pinup. ♥
Do enjoy.Can't Keep Up With Submissions
Posted 10 years agoSo like, work technically has calmed down since Christmas. And I'm only working 3 - 4 days a week now.
However, mentally I'm still not in the place where I can focus and really keep up with everything. Especially not my art sites.
The best I can do is work on art, and then cross post it everywhere. And even that can take a couple of days lately.
But, anywho... If there's something you're really wanting me to see, then I encourage you to link me here.
Because right now I'm almost to 2k submissions again, and I will likely be quickly digging through and then purging it again soon.
And damn that makes me feel bad. Because I feel like I'm missing things.
But I don't have the wherewithal at the moment to actually manage to get through it all. ;A;More Babbling
Posted 10 years ago
This time, about my plans for the upcoming commissions, once I finish my owed art To Do List
And a couple of personal pieces/gifts for a friend or two.
(one of which is still kind of personal because it includes my character lol)
So I already babbled at intergalactic.nobody about this, but for others who are curious.
Once my to do list is done I will be doing the following. Flat Color busts.
They will be small. They will be extremely discounted as well.
They will be similar to these babies: X | X | X | X
The plan is to either do short batches (ie. take twenty, complete them, open again),
or have an unlimited sale until I feel like I have enough orders.
Either way, I'll be selling them for $5.
Hella cheap compared to normal prices (normally $20), but I'm keeping them fairly small, so it's fair imo.
I'm also considering offering $3 lineart busts, and $10 cel shaded busts. But I am undecided on that.
Why am I (planning on) doing this you ask? For a number of reasons.
I want to challenge myself to be quicker, and working small is quicker.
I also want to challenge myself to stay in a certain size range. Notice how pretty much all of those are between 500 x 800px
Give or take a handful of pixels.
I also am planning on using the money I make to pay off my credit/department store card debt.
There's, give or take ~$4,000 of debt between four different cards. I might be able to manage it just with the money from my job...
However, if I can supplement my income with commission income then that will help.
And will make it go a hell of a lot faster.
I can't promise when I will actually open the commissions however. Obviously, part of me wants to open them right now.
However, I know better, and people who have been waiting for my bigger commissions obviously deserve to get those first.
Those bigger commissions do take quite a while to produce however. The last one took more than a month and a half of struggle.
It paid off of course. But I can't promise the two I have left will take a shorter amount of time. lol Especially if I include backgrounds.
But that's what people have to look forward to.
I will set a tentative date for Mid April to start on them.
It may come sooner, it may come later, but that's where I'll aim to have things done by. c:Rambling about To Do List
Posted 10 years ago
So, for those who have seen my To Do List (it's my featured journal, for the sake of reminding me, and for general transparency)
You will notice that the next commission is supposed to be for 
. Followed by another for Sherri...
And a raffle prize. And, originally, it had been my plan to do it that way too.
However, I now believe I'm going to be starting from the bottom of the list and going up.
This is for a number of reasons. Mostly because the raffle winner has been waiting an age
(though I suspect that's the last thing on their mind at the moment,
based on reading their journals and their personal issues over the last few months)
And I promised them that I would do it 'in between' commissions. And I figure... why not do so literally?
But, there is another reason. Unlike iceyarticuno's commission, I have exactly what I want to draw for Sherri in mind already.
She's giving me free reign with the piece, and I've had my idea plotted out for months now.
Whereas, with iceyarticuno and I still need to smooth out the details for her commission.
Since it's supposed to concern two of our characters that are supposed to be paired together, but we've literally done no RP,
character building, or general character meme/questionaires for... I can't just think of something off the top of my head.
And she doesn't know as many intimate details about my character as she should, to make her decision making easier.
So yes...
It will seem like I'm skipping Iceyarticuno. And, perhaps, in a way I am.
But I'm obviously going to come back to her commission. lol
I'm not just going to never complete it.
Once I'm all done with these big commissions (and prizes)... and finish off a few more of my personal projects...
I will be opening extremely discount commissions! So be on the lookout for that. c:
Can't wait to do those, tbh.
Pondering about my Fursona
Posted 10 years ago
As some of you know, I'm actually redesigning my fursona. This is what it used to look like.
And initially, my idea was not to make too crazy of a combination of breeds of animal. Because that old fursona is like...
five different species all mashed into one.
I figured this time around, I'd do like, a base animal (ocelot), and a secondary one (dragon).
Because I really love ocelots, and feel a closeness to them, and my Chinese zodiac sign is dragon.
And as such, every sona thus far has had some dragon bits about them. Usually horns, sometimes wings.
But now I'm considering adding one more animal into the mix.
Fox. I know there are a lot of foxes in the fandom and all. It's an overdone species.
But I've always adored foxes. You should see the stuff I go out of my way to collect/buy just because FOXES. lol
So I'm thinking it's going to be some kind of mashup of Ocelot and Fox... and then dragon horns/tongue/maybe wings.
I mean, I could be less lame and not do hybrid at all. but all my sonas thus far (minus one) have been hybrids.
Sooo... IDK. I guess I should just make myself happy and do what I want. And not care otherwise.
Now my other dilemma is how to go about mashing up ocelot and fox. :|
Should I do mostly fox features with ocelot markings, or vice-versa?
Or try to find some way to mash their features together? lol
For instance, Ocelot facial structure, but fox ears, and tail... :|Update on To Do List
Posted 10 years agoSo, I’ve decided, once I complete sherri‘s commission,
I’m generally going to take a break from owed art until the beginning of next month.
I may work on a raffle prize I have for someone, but otherwise I need to take a break.
Originally the plan was to have my To Do List done by the end of the year.
But that was when I thought I would get the current commission I am working on done in November.
It’s now been basically a month, and I’m just barely, finally, finishing up the sketch. (it’s all easier after this point)
The commissions I do have left are also both couple commissions, and they do, honestly, take me an age to complete
(when I open for commissions again, I won’t be taking couple commissions… not right away, at any rate).
I apologize to sherri and iceyarticuno since you will both have to wait for your other two commissions.
But I know you guys are super patient with me. D:
I’m just tired of stressing myself out, when work is already stressful this month,
over trying to get things finished with only about less than three weeks until the New Year. :|
I also want to finish up some old WIPs I’ve either been working on, off and on, or have let collect dust for ages.
If I can push them out after the current commission I am working on, then I won’t feel so bad, as I would waiting until the middle of next year.
I’ll have a retrospective of my art for the year by the end of the month too. c:
Can’t wait to do that.Sorry for not posting much!
Posted 10 years ago
I mean I don't generally post a lot unless I'm really on a creative kick.
But there was a steady stream of art there for a bit. lol
It's mostly because I've been fussing with a (very overdue) commission.
I'm slowly nearing the completion of the detailed sketch.
Then I'll be able to ink, color, and shade it. And finally call it done.
However, that's a ways off yet. Even if it's a couple of days.
I've also been exhausted.
Both because of 'monthly things'. And because of work/day job.
Let's just say that the internet being down for four days at work has put a strain on me.
It makes processing card transactions absolutely horrid.
Especially when they don't go through THREE TIMES IN A ROW.
I may have very little love for the general public, or working in retail.
However, I feel for people who just want to get in and out of a store with relatively little hassle.
Having to wait five minutes for your card to process, or to be asked endlessly to try again is just terrible.
And it makes it feel like it's my fault, when really it's just the computer's/internet's.
