Hey, all. S'been a while since I've posted much, I've put up a couple of things, but nothing that's really pulling in any views. As always, I'm trying my best to get better but I can only get so far with a mouse, so I'll keep commissions open so that I can hopefully rake in some cash eventually and get myself a new Tablet. [Never been commissioned before, but you never know :D] But most of that cash will hopefully come from relatives since it's my birthday on the 13th.

All's quiet on the Nox Front. Still no job, just doing what I can really, waiting on some owed cash so that I can scrape by this week's rent and maybe pay off some of a bill I'm still chipping away at. Can't have -that- much left on it, gotta be $800 left at most from the $3000 it was to start with. I've not really been doing much drawing other than my most recent stuff, just took a bit of a break really to play some games and see some friends. You know how it is.

Anyway, that's all I guess. Gotta get me some shut-eye.

See ya guys

Lawlz, ignore the random title, I just couldn't think of one but it's been over a month since the last Journal so I figured I'd post a new one with updates.

Firstly, thanks to all who've been faving my work and all my watchers, both new and old, it's much appreciated. Especially to all of you whom have taken the time to post some kind words on my work, it really means alot ^ ^

In general news, I'm still jobless and that's why you've been seeing alot more work of mine popping up ^^'' But after being jobless for so long, money problems really are starting to catch up concerning rent and bills so I won't be taking any requests now other than the ones I've already got going on and I'll have to work on commissions after that after revising my price list. I'll just make everythng hella' cheap. What's a reasonably cheap price that my arts seems worth guys?

Anyway, these are the last requests I've got going on

- Bagi & Krystal for SotoshiGT
- Naterio for Nate
- A Girly Boi for Sky

Well, that'll be all for this journal I think, it's past 5am

Thanks for reading!

-Nox

I finally got over 100 watchers! Thanks, everybody!
I'm happy that people have been commenting and faving my work, even putting watches on my gallery! I hope that my work pleases you all and I hope it'll continue to do so. Well. I already accepted one request on Yiffstar after opening a couple of slots there, so I'll do the same here, since I'm in a good mood :3
Request slots are open! and there's only.. Hmmmm... 2! and they're only staying there for two days, so use 'em or lose 'em!

YS Slots-
1: Foxgirl for Lemmy
2: [Unused, disappears today if not filled]

FA Slots-
1: Unused
2: Unused

If the slots do by some chance happen to fill up but you reaaally want something, note me and I might make and exception depending on how nice you are! One the condition.. that.. YOU BE MY FRIEND! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! *Horror-like thunder + lightning*

Anyway. Thank you all again for your support! And happy Valentine's Day! I don;t have a valentine, myself but I'm spending it by playing THE GAME. If you're 18 in the UK or 21 over in the USA, feel free to participate! Even better if you're on Xbox, you can play it with me! Here are the rules:

You play your games, doesn't matter what game it is. [Unless it's the new Prince Of Persia..] But every time you die, you take a shot of something strong. I got Tequila, Vodka and might even go out for some more. Should be a laugh! :3

Thanks again guys!

And deep into the shitter..

My year just keeps getting worse, guys. As if the start of the New Year wasn't bad enough, now I've lost my job.. "Lack of work.". I haven't cried like this in years, but I feel like I've let my family down. Even though everyone's being so understanding, I just feel so ashamed of myself. Man of the house and I can't even provide. I know I'm only 19, living with my mother and sisters, but I still felt it was my responsibility.

And so, since I'm in a bit of a situation I'll have to cancel any/all requests and only stick to commission work should any ever come in.

My last day's on Friday. Lets hope I can find another job soon. On the bright side, since I'm already paid minimum wage, atleast pay can't get any worse.

Nox Out.

Sorry it's been so long since anything new's come into my gallery, I've not exactly had the best new year. I'm sure you can all somewhat relate to not really being in the mood for drawing after getting dumped by your girlfriend or boyfriend for some other person. *sigh..* Well, it's been a while since it happened now so I guess I'll start soul-searching again sooner or later. Just wish I could actually find someone loyal, y'know? I don't wanna go advertising myself on dating sites though, I'm not desperate, just lonely. Hah, actually that kinda gives me an idea for a picture with my fursona. Might even end up doing it.

Well, all that being said, I have got some new work under way that'll get posted. I'm even working on a Tattoo design for myself which I aim to get done some time this year. Preferrably I'd like to get it started some time before my birthday in April.

Anyway, I'm bored so I'ma throw a Character Meme at you now:

Rules:
1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most one at the least.

Nox: I dunno.
Liana: I don't know, I've had quite a few surprises ^^

S. What was the strangest moment in your life?
Nox: Where do I begin?
Liana: I don't really know. Probably when I took my first nude photo shoot *blushes*
Shira: *Thinks* I.. Don't really know, actually


That's that then, I'll go ahead and tag anyone who wants to take it.

Thanks for reading, guys

It certainly isn't. It'll be Christmas on Thursday! Thank god I got all of my shopping done before all the lines got too big to deal with, I really hate waiting for things, I'm so impatient when I'm shopping. Anyway, sorry I've not been posting much artwork, I have been working on my stuff though and I've even a new character on the way who'll be unveiled soon I hope along with some other information regarding her. I've not been able to work on much 'cause of the season it's self, family stuff etc. so that takes up a little time.. the reminds me, I have a family dinner in.. oo.. 5 minutes. Better hurry. Another reason is 'cause of my Xbox, just been relaxing on that alot, not had it long either but I do like blowing stuff up on Armored Core: For Answer.

I only have like.. two friends on Xbox live xD
So if you want someone new to play stuff with or a friendly chat with, yours truly my gamertag is: Athest Nox
:3

I play Armored Core: FA, Gears Of War 2 and Left 4 Dead even though I'm noob to pretty much all of them.


Uh oh, better get running to that family dinner thing.
Season's Greetings everybody! ^^

- Nox

Yah, I thouhgt I'd actually list down what I have to do.. Then tell you guys what it is.. then realised I can get both done at the same time by doing in on a FA journal. Aren't I clever? :3

So, here's what I have to do

Stuff for other people:

Giftart for Wintersin
SatoshiGTs Request [Other account]
Krystal Christmas
Clone Nox and Takx
-[Other requests from Katt |You'll have to remind me of all of them, hun xD|]
:bulletred:Satti [For mah good friend who always likes to remain annonymous for some reason or another]

Stuff drawn just 'cause I wanna:
[Half of these probably won't even get posted]

-Liana - Full outfit
-Liana - Christmas outfit
-Ho Ho Yo! A Merry Christmas piece!
-Punctual for the presents" Nox on Christmas Day

Request slots free:

-Open-
-Open-

Yeah this year for christmas, I thought I'd take the Christmas holiday for a my pictures and use it as a theme. Hopefully I can get everything done, if I'm not busy wasting precious time on the Xbox.

I'll still leave those two slots open for requests but then that'll be my lot untill the new year.

Well, off to work soon. See yas

Uuuuuuugg.. I'm exhausted. Does anyone else feel like the rest of the run-up to Christmas is gonna be painfully slow? I wish I could take the month off work, but I need the money. Curse thee, ye people I have to buys gifts for! Meh, I wouldn;t be complaining so much, but I really needed some new mp3 player material, so a week ago I ordered a CD from HMV and yesterday I recieved a package containing the wrong one.

I wanted the Roadrunner United CDs, where they got all my fave bands together, messed around with the order of things and burned pure awesome onto disks, but guess what I got? The Red Hot Chilli Pipers. Yes, Pipers. A freakin' Bagpipe band! As much as it is a tradition in Scotland and might have even sounded good if I'd bothered to give it a chance, but men, literally blowing on stage and in dresses [Sorry, Kilts] isn't what I had in mind then I placed the order. Really, didn't they look at the name on the order and compare it to my adress name? My name is not Mr. J. Morris.

I think since all this happened on the 1st of December is what clued me into the fact that it's going to be a long and testing month.

Well, on th plus side, the weekend should be good. I'm going out for a meal with the fellas from work so that should be funny and on top of that, I'll be getting myself an Xbox 360 at last.. 'cause I'm sad and I buy my own Christmas presents, otherwise I'd have to settle for a bundle of socks from mother as my gift. I plan on getting Left 4 Dead and Armored Core: For Answer. Those two have really caught my attention. Y'know, just to treat myself and say "Good work this year, mate. You really deserve a treat, you hard working guy you!"

Anyway, I'll be finnishing getting my gear together for work now. I'll go ahead and say that commissions are open as well as requests. I'm busy with work, but I could use commission cash for all the little things that need it and atleast drawing is something I enjoy doing.

Oh well, off to work. Later, all!


[Commissions/Requests/Trades: Open]

I thought I'd make a second journal. I've been here long enough.
Well, work is alot different compared to what it was back in the first one. I moved building closer to the main branch and now I always have something to do, so the only time I really have at work to grab a sketchpad is at lunch.

As for art related work, it's getting there slowly. I'm just busy with other things. You know how it is, trying to keep too many people happy at the expense of your own blahblahblah. Other than having alot to do, I'm looking for my pencil colours so that I can give those another try with somo of my linearts, 'cause now, my second Tablet died on me. That or this computer hates me.

Anyways. I've got a few main things to do

Personal:
- My Fursona
- Liana
- Athest Nox KOTDE

Requests:
- Satti for CC
- Dragon for a guy at work's tatoo

And giftart to finnish:
- DK for DK

My personal pieces can wait I guess, so I'll keep requests open for now. I could use a change on the "List Of Things To Do"

Anyway, that'll be all. Gotta get going to work. See yas

Hello, everyone.

I finally got around to making my first journal entry here on FA, it seems.
I've been pretty busy with work.. or rather -going- to work, but when I get there it seems I'm paid to sit around, bored out of my skull.
But I'll take a sketch pad to work from now on and make good use of this "boredom-time", atleast that way I haven't wasted a complete day.
Work is also why I've not really been adding to my gallery. More concerned about making enough money to pay the rent/ pay bills/ go somewhere later this year.

Anyway, I thank everyone for the kind comments and all the views/favourites I've gotten during my short time so far on FA. I hope you've all liked what you've seen so far and I also hope you like what's yet to come.

Also, I'll try to make more of an effort to comment on other's work here, too.
After not logging in for a while, I noticed my "inbox" was bit.. Overflowing..
Serves me right for not paying closer attention, eh?

Anyway, yey for my first journal and thanks for readin' it
