So our house is in the process of falling apart. We tried to get a loan to get everything fixed but was denied. We would like to find a new place but we want to pay off the taxes. We paid off for 2024 and that took everything we had and we still owe around 800 for 2025. On top of that we still have our day to day bills. I understand we're all struggling so I understand if no one can help but any little bit would be greatly appreciated and a tremendous help.

Hello again all!

 tigerblack is in dire need of assistance by the 14th of this month. If you can't help financially, please spreading the word.

Well, it's been more than a freaking decade since I last posted so I doubt anyone will remember but I figured I should probably say something.
First off, it's safe to assume, that "The squall" won't be finished. It's been so long since writing that I don't remember much about the story. Plus, the amount of time it took between chapters didnt help. The biggest issue is simply the trials and tribulations of real life. First, college took up most of my time and money. My computer was starting to lose it's reliability and now that it's 20 years old, I'm confident it will no longer work. My only way to use the internet has been via smartphone, so that hindered my abilities as well. Considering I work full time and am living paycheck to paycheck, I probably won't be replacing it anytime soon, if ever.
What also hampered me (And still does) is my mental issues. I suffer with major depression, anxiety, and a shit ton of insecurities. I always compared myself to others and I still do. And as life continued, I found myself less and less involved with the Fandom. I dont know if I lost interest or if it was simply due to life. Its been hard. Granted it's been hard for everyone I'm sure. Its hard to enjoy the things you love when depression makes you lose interest and life takes time and focus away.

I miss this Fandom. Coming back here and to sofurry reminded me why I love this fandom. I want to try and frequent these spaces more and interact but as far as writing goes, it's done. Its just been so long now, I feel it would need to be rewritten. The same goes for commissioning artwork. I still care about these characters but as I mentioned, Im living paycheck to paycheck and it's been that way for years. I wish to see more with them but I don't see it happening.

To those that are still here, first off, thank you for enjoying what I made and commissoned. I can't apologize enough for not being able to finish the story. The squall was more or less a story that I wanted to read but couldn't find so I tried to myself. The problem with that is that it doesn't have the same affect. It's like knowing the plot of a movie before seeing it and that hindered me in addition to what I mentioned.

I absolutely do not blame anyone who feels betrayed and angry. I can't lie and make a promise I can not keep.

Well another AC has come and gone. Definitly staying at the westin exclusively. The doubletree was nice and cheap but I didn't get the constant stimulation of seeing all the fursuiters and attendees having fun and partying. At the Westin, i constantly felt that I was a part of the convention and didn't miss anything. The Doubletree just didn't have that. Plus the Westin is just a lot more convenient.

My birthday is coming up on August 30th. I'll be 26. WOOT.

As a few of you may have noticed, I haven't been really active here for some time. There are a few reasons for this absence. One of which was school which has taken up a lot of my time. But I think another reason has to be placed on the fandom itself. Quite frankly, I've had a hard time enjoying it. I watch so many people that my inbox fills rapidly and going through the submissions was a chore and took away from my enjoyment of the actual artwork. I don't want to unwatch artists because I enjoy a lot of their work and I'd feel like a douche. lol. And another reason is one we're all familiar with. Drama. Normally I'd let it all roll of my back but there came a point where it got to the point that I just didn't enjoy logging on anymore. I let other people take away my enjoyment and that was a big nono.

But I'm back (or I'm trying) and I've come up with different ways to make things a little easier and a little more enjoyable.

Here's a music video that I think is appropriate for the situation. (Vid and the band and learning it too!)

As the tittle suggests things aren't going very well for  strype and  cooper So, I humbly ask that you please go to thier journal via the provided link and see if there's anyway you can help. Even it's just making a journal of your own to let others know of their situation, ever bit helps.

So...much....rage....MUST KILL!

I've been pretty pissed off about the new Xbox ever since it's reveal couple weeks ago but this just pisses me off more. Aside from a PS4 (If Sony doesn't fuck it up too) and a WII-U, it looks like I may have to invest in updating or getting a new PC to go over to PC gaming. That or table top gaming. A friend of mine has been interested in starting a D&D campaign and I've been starting to get interested in it so there's that too.

Plus side of watching a lot of people: You get flooded with a lot of awesome work!

Negative side: You get flooded. PERIOD!

Over 2000 submissions in my inbox. Not including journals and such....I REALLY need to get into the habit of being on FA more regularly (Hence why I've been taking so long to fave and comment on things) so my Inbox doesn't get so....bloated. But considering how quickly it fills up, I'd be on here every time I turn around. And I really don't want to de-watch anyone because then I feel like a douche......Oh well, guess it's time to get my energy up to go through it all in my inbox...again.....Well, on the bright side, I do get to see a lot of kick ass art. :)

I have an interesting idea for a comic. Granted it's not porn so I don't know how many would be interested in it. XD But it think it's something a lot of people could relate to.

Vid is sleeping in bed. It's coming up on noon but he had been up all night. Suddenly, a blood curdling scream rings out. He shoots awake and quickly grabs his phone to call 911. He rushes to the window to see what's happening. As he looks, he pauses, relaxes, and get's a relieved yet irritated look on his face. "Oh...it's just children playing." He flops onto his bed and goes back to sleep.

Every place in this website...is a pooooooootential hazard....Let me show ya somethin!











EVERYONE STAY CALM.....I am...a fire marshal.

I'm not much of a meme guy and this one may have come and gone but I feel bold. So if anyone is curious about certain things about me, feel free to ask. Don't be shy. ;)

Keep in mind I may or may not answer depending on the question but chances are I'll answer.

I got a challenge for anyone who's willing and brave enough to accept it.

I challenge anyone to take any death scene from the Dead Space videogames and draw a picture of it! BUT HERES THE REAL CHALLENGE! Make it into something sexy and and not gory and death..y. XD

Take this scene for example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMit5200z_A Again, just an example. I don't mean replace the screwdriver with a dildo or something. I mean keep the same basic actions but take out all the death, gore, and drama. Take it from, "OMG, THE PAIN! I'M DYING! AUUURGGHH!" and change it to "OMG, THE PLEASURE! I'M CUMMING! NNNNGGGGAAAAAAH....whew I need a cig." And of course, the characters will be replace with anthro characters (you don't have to) and it doesn't have to be Dead Space related.

I bet it can't be done. ;) XD

Man I am such a perv!

First off, I'm not depressed (not right now anyway) and I'm not trying to reach out for help. I'm just having sort of a self analytical moment. So yeah, I'm now officially on Thanksgiving break, I'm quite happy! WOOT WOOT!

Anyway, I've been looking at myself and I've noticed that there are some aspects that I REALLY need to change. The physical stuff is obvious, but there are some personality traits that could really use some adjustments as well. For example, my worrying of what others think of me. That's not to say, I want to become an asshole and treat everyone like shit. NOT AT ALL. I just wish I didn't worry so much about weather or not I'm upsetting anyone with everything I do. I don't want to upset anyone and will still apologize if think I have and would like people to come forward and let me know if I have so I can make amends. But only in terms of really big and obvious things. Not with every little action that I do, in which I over-analyze something that I've done or said and begin to worry like crazy. Because of this, there are quite a few things that have happened in the past that I'm embarrassed about and wish I could forget (another problem) and I've apologized countless times for things that weren't even CLOSE to being a big deal. I look back and I can't help but facepalm.

Well, just wanted to put my thoughts into type. Like I said, I'm not depressed or asking for advice (since I know what I need to do). I hope you guys have a good Thanksgiving! :)

Get in on this!

I've noticed that some people have really liked my characters so I've been thinking about opening them up to people who would like to commission other artists to do pics of My OC's with their OC's. With my permission of course. And since they're the ones who are commissioning, they're the ones who are responsible for payment. It wouldn't be right to expect me to pay for YOUR picture. XD But then again, I'm protective of my characters and don't want them to be in situations I'm not comfortable with, so I don't know. We'll see.

It's now officially my birthday and another year has come and gone....I wonder what's to come next.

Only 4 days left until my Birthday (Not counting today) and I turn 24. Wow before I can blink, I'll be 34 XD.....I don't know if I should be laughing about that.

..until I'm one year older. Crap time flies.

Only 29 more days until my birthday! Wow time really flies! XD (29 days as of the first)

I've liked Micro/Macro art for a long time now but lately I've been really getting into. XD It's safe to say that I'm going to procure art of that subject. It'll certainly be interesting seeing myself all Micronized among my band mates. XD Just hope they're gentle with me. ;)

OVER 17500 PAGE VIEWS!?

KICK ASS!!!

Heading out to AC tomorrow morning. If any of you want to stop me and say hi just look for the guy with the only badge that says videogame30 on it! If that doesn't work, look at the 3 photos I have in scraps and memorize them. Then that should make it easier to recognize me. XD

EDIT: Back home.

Hello all!  tigerblack and I are in need of TWO people in our room in the Westin. I was only able to get a room with a single bed so sleeping bags and sheets for padding would be a good idea. If we can get 2 more people and bring the total to 4, it will be about $125 per person. If interested please post here. Keep in mind we will have to discuss it before we accept anyone. This is not meant to offend anyone but we just want to be sure the people we room with are people we can trust.

I've been feeling very depressed and ugly as of late. I can help but get a sense of "I hate fate people" from some people I admire. Though they never said it outright, I just can help but think "Oh I'd like to meet them in real life but they'd probably hate me because I'm fat". It's not just them and it's not just in this fandom. It's everywhere. I've tried losing weight and I did succeed at one point but it just ended up back on. I've tried many times since then but I never lost a pound. I just feel so ugly and unattractive because of this thing below my chest. I think I should go into hiding and never come out.

Nekonny has opened up a kickstarter to get his webcomic printed! Check it out and pledge if you can! :D

Copied from the Katbox website.

Hey everyone! I’ve got something new and exciting for you today! Ron “Nekonny”, is one of my best friends and I’d like to take this opportunity to help advertise his Kickstarter project. Believe me that I know Ron’s passion for his comic and bringing his work into a material, tangible form is something that’s very important to him. If you have anything to give, please help become a part of the effort to make Caribbean Blue Volume 1 a reality.

There’s lots of great rewards too. I can’t wait to see who gets that CB sculpture. You’ll have to be fast because supplies are limited on the rewards. I had to rush home from work myself to pick up one of the custom cover deals. X3 (Damn it, Ron! Why do you have to live so many timezones ahead of me!)

If you are a fan of CB and other Katbox comics, I urge you to help him out. This is a big step in Ron’s life and it would mean a lot to both of us to see him succeed.

Thanks.

Hey guys, great news!

Ever since I started working on the Caribbean Blue webcomic back in 2005, I’ve always dreamed of releasing it in printed form, and at long last that day has finally arrived!

Well, almost… But the ball is really rolling now! ^_^’

There is still some editing to be done, but with summer around the corner, I will be able to get some serious crunch time in. So much that I’m ready to start taking preorders with an expected release date of August 2012.

To that end I’ve created a Kickstarter project, that can be found BY CLICKING HERE.

But you can get a lot more than just a preorder, oh yes…

During this one time special event, you can get your hands on wallpapers, signed and doodled copies of a special preorder book cover, original comic artwork and even have me create you a 100% custom cover just for you. And a few more special items are up for grabs!

Neat huh?

I hope so, because we only have 32 days to hit our goal! So any support is most appreciated!

Since Kickstarter relies a lot on word of mouth, so spreading the word will help us too! Twitter, Facebook, DA/FA journals, redit, anything you can think of to get more people interested the better!
