This really is bullshit, but it's bullshit with an understandable reason behind it. So yeah, it's kinda like blowing up a library because someone threatened to blow up the whole town if you didn't. Understandable yes, but it really sucks if you're in the library.

And the library analogy works in plenty of ways. A library harms no one, but a few assholes could be in the library looking for instructions on bomb making. Cub porn is a bunch of cartoons that harm no one, but it's hard to argue that all cub artists are angels. (Course this could be said for the rest of the town, demons are everywhere.)

Anyways, 21 days from now all mature cub artwork must be removed from FA, I'll be removing mine at the end of the week, you've got until Saturday if you want to save anything mature from my gallery. I'm moving to InkBunny, I already have some stuff there but of course more is to come.

TLDR: Moving to Inkbunny, cleaning gallery at end of week.

Ya know, I've got 84 contacts in my MSN list, but only chat to 2 of them regularly anymore. Its sorta depressing. ^^; I think I'll do something I've not done in years and actually make my MSN screen name public again. Feel free to add me to your list at random and drop me a line for chat.

Thanks alot  Maverick_Skye for your comment on my last journal, even tho I didn't reply, it did help cheer me up a little bit knowing somebody had read it at least.

Art wise, I've been trying to draw on and off for weeks now, but haven't really gotten anywhere with any of it. ^^; Art block + school = bad combo.

...Just to see if anybody's read this, first 2 commenter's get a single character rough sketchy request. :3

I offer a free request for the 1000th page view and dun't even get a "I was 1003, will that still work?" Sorta sucks doesn't it? Either nobody read those last two journals that mentioned it, or nobody cares. XD Oh well.

Sorry I've not been drawing much, not been too happy with how my pics have been turning out as of late, and that combined with a cold for the last week has really stifled just about anything I've tried to work at. I've got a few ideas I'm working at, and some things about my style I'm trying to change, but I'm not really sure when any of it'll make it here.

Anyways, here's a True/False meme I found on  DiDi's page, felt like doing.

1. You can ONLY answer Yes or No .

2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone messages/comments you and asks. And believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming... things are not exactly as they seem.

3. It is harder than it looks, but NO explanations !!! You will want to... but don't!!!

Weird Al is absolutely amazing live, he's such a character, and the life he brings to his work in concert is just, just wow. Its just an epic show, with plenty of humor, awesome music, its worth seeing at least once (tho I'm sure I'll go again in the future ^^) Whether he's dancing like Michael Jackson in the fat suit, riding and dancing on stage in a Segway, or getting the entire audience joining in on, "We All Have Cell Phones, So C'mon Let's Get Real" he's just a truly talented artist.

In other news, I uploaded some of my better work to an InkBunny account I signed up for months ago. Go ahead and check me out at http://inkbunny.net/vknife ^^

BTW, the offer still stands for 1000th page view. :3 Screenshot it and a sketchy style pic like my latests works is yours to request.

Almost surprised I hadn't hit it yet to tell the truth. So, whoever catches my 1000th page view and screenshots it will get a sketchy pic like

:3 I dun't usually do kiribans, but this style is a lot quicker to get through than my usual pixel artwork, so I'll make an exception.

Oh~ And in other news, going to see Weird Al in Cleveland on Friday. ^^ Woot!

Yeah, back in class, so even less time to work on anything. Thankfully the schedule at work has been heavily reduced in favor of focusing on my school work. Feels like summer just begun, why'd it have to end? lol I've got a pretty busy schedule this year for class, but none of my classes are really all that difficult. Hopefully that'll help make up for some of the crap from last year. ^^

So I've been playing with a few different art things, the most recent of which I just posted. Still waiting to post the big project I've been working on just a little bit longer. :3 Only time will tell as to whether or not any of this becomes any more regular than my good old pixel artwork, but one way or another it will all work out.

Everything's a waiting game I guess~

I hate working the whole weekend away. =\ So much to do, yet so very little time. This all just stacks up my school work even further. ^^; Oh well, I should be able to get some of that done later this week. I probably won't have any more artwork done any time before May because of that.

Anyways, I'm also looking for some artists to commission for some pics. If you do any commissions, or know somebody who's good and open, feel free to leave a comment. The artist should be able to do cub pics of M/M or M/F, and either consensual, or non-consensual.

Anyways, I don't have much more to say, I could probably come up with more if my mind wasn't so numb from the thought of working all weekend lol.

http://www.formspring.me/Cyberblade

Saw one of these on another artists page (Don't remember who's atm) and thought it was an awesome idea. Feel free to ask me whatever you can possibly think of.

Also, my spring break starts next week. Maybe in between trying to catch up with classwork and sleep, I miiiight get some artwork worked on. Over course that's all one big maybe, but I thought I'd mention it anyways.

I'll open with something I don't usually do, an endorsement. If you enjoy cub related material (And if you're on my page, you probably don't mind it lol) you really ought to check out  kichigaikitsune's story "Tai's Story". It's amazing tale that is really gripping. It's not just some group of dirty stories like many cub stories are, but a well written story focused on the characters lives and their development. You must read it, even if you skip the few 'naughty' sections, the story is absolutely brilliant and gripping.

---

My rare endorsement out of the way, might aswell give a little run down of how I'm doing. School has been going well, tho I'm in my usual habits of procrastination. ^^ Work is....well work sucks. I really hate my current job, but it pays for gas, books, and the occasional video games, so I can't complain too much. Hopefully an application I put out gets noticed.

Otherwise in my own free time, I'm doing alright. I just totally have no motivation for the time being. I've got at least one art project in the works now, tho no idea how long it'll be until it's done. Just been playing quite a bit of Mass Effect 2 lately. Excellent game and worth the buy, it outshines the first in many ways, tho at the same time falls a little short of it in others. Definitely play the first one before the sequel, even if you can play ME2 first, it's well worth it to have the character import.

I'm not looking for requests, but if anyone out there has any particular themes/ideas they'd want to see out of me, feel free to voice them in the comments. I might just go with something I see there. ^^

Requests: No
Art Trades: Maybe, check with me and see.
Commission Slots:

Slot 1:Open
Slot 2:Open

So I'm going to open commissions to help pay for school, gas, and everything else. Hopefully everything sounds alright in terms of price, styles, and conditions. I reserve the right to alter any of the following as needed.

Availability:

I'm only going to make two slots for the time being due to the general speed of my artwork and my schedule of school and work taking priority. I might adjust this depending on how things go. I'm working in the order of first come first serve, and commissions will be closed when both slots are filled until at least both commissions are completed.

Pricing:

$5 Flat Color Lineart
- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2900131/

$10 Full Color Textured Character
- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2900082 (NSFW)
- http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2683647

+$5 to either for a single extra character.

Payment Details:

At the time I will only accept Paypal. Payment will only be accepted after the commission is completed.

Final Details:

I'll draw anything from clean cute furs, to shota/loli, the only limits being that I won't draw extreme scat or snuff, and that I will not give images backgrounds. While I can draw both male and female characters I am much more experienced with male characters.

I can't guarantee a completion timeframe as my work sometimes gets done quick, and other times takes forever. WIP previews are available on request but implementing changes to the image not specified in the initial commission is entirely at my discretion. Image size can be specified in the initial commission specifications, but I am reluctant to go over 350x350 for most images.

Note me to request commission, get payment details, ask questions, or check status of current commission.

Hey, lord knows how the heck you found me. Some of you may already know me as Cyberblade, though I signed up under the name Vknife. I am an avid gamer, a computer programmer, and an overall computer geek. However, I'm not much for posting journals, so you're most likely to just see me as a pixel artist.

I really wouldn't describe myself as a furry, I just don't have that mindset. I don't really care what you want to describe me as though, so if you want to consider me a furry I really don't mind. I started doing anthro art shortly after I broke my main character Cyberblade away from the Sonic fandom in 2005, and I've been doing random pics since then.

Over the last year I've been gradually leaving my grittier artwork behind me in favor of more cute cub characters. I guess this may come to an odd shock to those who have watched me on the SSMB and DA, but to be honest I have a thing for anything loli or shota, and that extends to cubs. With some of the artwork I want to do, these facts will become undeniable, so instead of pushing it until I'm awkwardly asked, I'll just put it in the open.

I can be a bit of a smartass, and I have a short fuse for ignorance and/or blind assumptions. I come across as gruff to most people at first but over time I gradually open up and am a really nice guy if you get to know me. I've been happily with my GF, Summer, for a little over 2 months now, and I foresee many happy months to come. X3

Requests-No
Trades-Maybe with close friends
Commissions-Not at the moment, maybe later
