Revived, then Struck Down [ Missing Cat, Life Updates ]
Posted 8 years agoI've felt almost revived? I've gotten a new laptop, and a new tablet.
My old laptop? Do you want to know what I was able to do on that dinosaur? SAI - NOTHING ELSE.
I had to transfer my files to my PHONE, then upload them...
References? Save them then transfer them to the laptop...
It was such a hassle and it made it MUCH MORE difficult to complete commissions.
Now I've got my laptop, I'm able to use the internet on it, and use Photoshop again!
My Ontario Works Worker is going to be keeping track of commissions, and it's going towards work income on my Income Statement.
A little rant. Someone told me to get a job, very rudely, and stop being lazy and begging for money.
Let me tell you something. Don't judge someone when you don't know their whole story. Many of you don't know my story. I don't SHARE much, but I'm going to be using these journals to keep you updated.
I am not a scammer. I am not a liar, and it HURTS to be thought of like that. All I want to do is make people happy, enjoy life, and sustain myself. I've never talked down to someone even if I've wanted to. I've had so many people violate my TOS, then post bewares because they didn't want to wait for a refund even though my TOS states the rules and such about it. It's not my fault if my TOS isn't read.
I've never changed names, tried to hide my identity, I've never stolen art... I get treated like shit and respond professionally... all part of the job right?
I'm not wanting to be babied or dependent on someone ( one of the problems in my relationship right now ). I've taken donations when I first joined this site, but I don't ask for such anymore - especially now that I've stepped out on my own.
Prove I beg for handouts. PROVE IT. I don't BEG FOR HAND OUTS. I offer a service, one good exchanged for another.
I have chronic athritis. I am nineteen years old, and I have had two reconstructive knee surgeries. On the female side of my Mother's family, we've all had kneecap and joint problems. My first surgery was when I was eleven. It was to stop my kneecap from dislocating, and grinding off cartilage. Growing up was rough, and my Mother didn't take the best care of us. We moved a lot, and due to that I didn't see my surgeons as often as I should have ( as this point, I've been told if I was brought in more, my cartilage decline wouldn't be so severe at this point... )I am booked for another surgery on my right knee for the first time in July 2017 ... On my left knee, there's no hope for it. All the cartilage is gone, but luckily the surgery stopped the dislocating.
When I grew up I spent hours outside. I loved camping and hiking. My dream job was to work with wild animals. After I returned after years to the surgeon, and heard what she said ...
I had to instantly make a change in my life.
I started thinking of what to do, what I was going to for a living. I didn't think I could make a living off my art until I joined Furaffinity.
It's been a life saver...
It helped me move out. It helped me gain 'control' of my depression. I've met my mate, I've improved my art, and I've made new friends ( and unfortunately new enemies ).
I'm grateful for this community, and people need to stop pushing me away.
I'm not a bad person, just talk to me and see.
I don't want to go on about this for a long time... but Monday night my sister's cat got outside. My sister's relationship with her cat is more like a relationship between a dog and their owner. Bilbo is different, and he's missing.

I'm Doing my Best!
Posted 8 years agoJanuary has proven to have started off pretty rough when it comes to bills, and even feeding myself unfortunately. I was sick most of the month, and to top it off, my parents were as well ... meaning I missed TWO foodbank appointments, and I've been living like a dog eating scraps the past few weeks.
I am super greatful for everyone who has gotten a commission from me! I'm improving every day, and I want everyone to be happy with what they recieve. I've upped my prices, but that's only because I've been spending more time on art pieces! Have ya noticed my eye detail?
I'm also doin new anthro drawings. I'm going for a more ... kinda fursuit digigrade like look, sticking to the more animalistic side of things, ya know?
I've also started accepting different payments, which I'm hoping ups my commissions more.
About a two weeks back I had someone who was close to me ( and knew my log in password ) delete all my high priority notes, and also delete some of my YCHs, which I'll never get back.
With that said, and I know I've said this, if ya haven't gotten something you've paid for, NOTE ME. You'll either get a refund, or a completed art peice. I'm hesitant on giving refunds, as I'm kinda in desprate need of money this month.

xBlueAshes 2017 Terms of Service [ Commissioners READ ]
Posted 9 years agoDisclaimer, it is not my fault if you neglect to read my terms of service.
Heya everyone, a new year, and it's going to be full of art! With that said, I've decided to update my terms of service!
- You must provide a clear reference sheet, and when asking for a commission, OR a detailed description. With that said, if you ask me to go off a description, you are not welcome to ask me to re-complete it half a dozen times.
- Livestreaming ( so you can watch me complete the work ) CAN be provided, but for an additional cost.
- Payment must be sent BEFORE I begin any work.
- My turn around time is TWO MONTHS or less.
- No refunds WHAT SO EVER, unless it is a emergency, or I cannot complete the commission. With that said, if a refund is offered, I have a month to get the refund back to you!
- I do NOT complete my commissions in order, as sometimes art block doesn't allow me to draw certain things some days. If you have a problem with that, please don't commission me.
- You may re-upload your commission, but please link back to my Furaffinity Page.
- You may make any changes you wish to my art, but I ask it to NOT BE DRASTIC, so my art is unrecognizable.
- Do NOT complain about the turn around time. Feel free to note me for an update, but do not pester me.
My prices are ALWAYS subject to change, that's why I'm not adding them here.
Please note, these are things I'm NEW to drawing, and I still may refuse to draw:
- Fetishes etc.
- Reptiles and non-furred creatures
- anthro / furries ( I still do NOT draw these unless 100% experimental with added price. Must be discussed through PM )
I'm pretty good at drawing these:
Canines
Felines
Things that I REFUSE TO DRAW:
- Feces and urine fetishes
- child rape / neglect
- incest
When it comes to characters I don't have many rules.
-Any characters or adopts you receive from me, you must ask permission to sell.
- Feel free to change anything you want on adopts I HAVE MADE
- Do not alter characters I haven't drawn. You'll have to ask the original artist
- Do NOT sell characters for more then what you've bought it for.

Though, I don't have any of my previous notes I had D=
If I owe you a commission, please note me with what I owe you, along with character reference sheets and exactly what you wanted!
I'm sorry about this guy's D=

Art Block, I'm needing some HELP and TIPS please! x3
Posted 9 years agoI'm starting to get a bit down in the dumps when it comes to commissions. I don't receive many comments or favorites. It's rare that I find people following me. I want to improve my art, majorly.
So, what I'm asking for is suggestions.
What are good art programs to use? Shading tutorials? Little tricks?

Getting Organized, Life, Moving, Possible Vlog [ Drunk Post]
Posted 9 years agoGuess who woke up feeling 100% better? No more sniffles for me!
And guess who asked me out for a drink? Random guy off of POF! <3
I'm a bit tipsy, but obviously CLICK BAIT TITLE, OMG KILL ME NOW.
But, in all seriousness!
Things have been slowly getting better, and more and more stress has been releasing. Even my sister seems to be getting better - and she was far off worse.
We're moving December 1st. We went last night and viewed an apartment. It was a rather nice one, and it had a basement that the man even mentioned I could make into a art room. Even if we don't get that place, I'm sure they'll be a place just waiting for us. There has to be, riggght?
I want to be able to further my artist talents. UNFORTUNATELY making things like figurines and masks take money, something that I don't have much of. Limited income sucks big time, but commissions help quite a bit! <3
Thinking about things,, I do have my violin, and I've been neglecting it.
I did though manage to find some sheet music of songs I like.
It seems like all my things are planned for after we move.
I want to be able to set up a nice place. Have my Five Nights at Freddy's Poster hung up, my dog dick figurine sitting out for all to see. I want to personalize myself, and my room. How open I am on the internet - I wanna be open like that in real life. ( oooh, spank me ;) )
I don't really want to hide anymore. I want to be myself.
I also wanna get out more. Like meet people. It's SO hard to actually meet people now adays, huh? Like, going up to someone in public, they'd raise their eyebrow and give you a "are you a crack head" look.
That's how it is in Kingston anyways. Full of druggies.
Speaking of drugs, recently someone posted on one of my posts 'Sorry I'm not a leaf'....
Yes. I smoke marijuana. I got accused the other day of begging for money so I could buy drugs. It was a HUGE altercation, and it left me feeling really shitty, and really angry.
It's complete and utter slander =/ They know nothing of my personal life.
For those wondering -- I have chronic arthritis. My day does usually involve smoking, but I have a separate fund for that, which I'm covered for the month. Not to mention, with my medical card, it isn't illegal.
It's things like this that makes me want to start a blog. I'm a complicated person, my ADHD and Anxiety constantly clash, and I'm left sitting in the dark. Like I said, I'm not the person who really gets out much. Most of the time, when I leave the house, it's because I HAVE TO. I'm always afraid to speak my mind.
I've had bad experiences in the path. Meeting people, and they try to get in my sister's pants. We even had a man who stalked my sister. Just proves, skinny will always win over fat.
But enough of that. My point is, I want to be able to get out more and meet people.
Though, some days when I just can barely get out of bed due to pain, I could just turn my camera on, and talk about shit that bothers me, review things...
I'm not sure. All I know is, staying in this bubble isn't going to end out good for me. I'm getting really lonely. Kinda why I'm making this journal.
I know people DO reach out to me. I do my best to reply.
It's like there's this WALL. I WANT to connect, but why can't I?
Part of by I'm seeing a therapist after I move.
My knee is also doing better! I canceled my physiotherapy, my personal life too stressful. I can properly walk up and down stairs with only little struggle. It's still weak, but that's to be expected. Hopefully it's 100% by the time it snows! I don't want to risk falling and messing it up even more.
My knee hasn't given out within the last week or so, which is another amazing thing!
I'm also hoping to open something where my commissioners can send in reviews etc. I DO WANT CRITICISM. Fuck dude, even be HARSH if you have to. Honestly, harsh criticism is better then none.
It's something I want to do. I want to improve on my art.
And goddamn, I'm still waiting for that tablet. SHOULD BE HERE BY NOW, IMMA SLAP YO ASS EBAY.
Aaah, I don't know what else to say! Just a kinda rant journal, a tispy rant journal.
Anyways, I'd love to hear about what's going on in your guys life?

I'm Terribly Sick x.x [ Commissioners PLEASE READ ]
Posted 9 years agoI'm so, so sorry guys. For all of you who I still owe a commission to, I'm putting off art and all things in general for a few days. I haven't posted anything for the fact I'm sick x.x
It's nothing major, just a stomach bug, but I can't seem to focus on anything.
I just have cold sweats, I'm constantly coughing and I can't keep any food down, uuggh.
I'm sorry for the few day hiatus x.x
I'll be back when I'm better, hopefully Friday at the latest x.x
Again, I'm really sorry =(

October 13th, 2016 -- UPDATED TOS :: Please read ::
Posted 9 years agoIt concerns me. I've noticed going through other people's profiles, it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find their TOS, even though they are open for commissions - and say " please look at my TOS before commissioning " , or something of the sort.
I myself, even though I have my TOS posted, and easily accessible, I STILL have problems with people when it comes to refunds, commission changes, etc.

Stress, Life, Bills... "Adulting" Rant
Posted 9 years agoThings are rough. I know everyone always has their own stresses going on, which is why I push myself aside.
I'm still taking care of my sister, and she's older then me. Her anxiety and stress is horrible. Though, at the same time, so is mine. Again... Ignore myself, I need to take care of her. She did it for me growing up.
It sucks packing again after only moving two months ago. Taking down all the pictures. Sorting through everything.
I'm still recovering from knee surgery. I can bend my knee up to 98 degrees now, my goal and my physio therapist's goal is 120 degrees.
The pain is bad doing my daily excrises. I get through them.
I don't feel like I can talk to my sister about how I'm feeling.
I used to. She'D be the only person I would go to.
Now I'm scared.
I've been doing my tarot card readings more, but they seem to just make me more nervous and fear filled. I just want happiness in my life.
I don't get any feedback on commissions. I feel like I don't do enough. I'm not good enough. Do people not like what they receive? If you have a problem with your commission, feel free to tell me. I have no problem re-doing it. I've done it before. I don't mind. I want people to be happy.
I want to be happy
I don't know where my life is going. I want to be able to communicate more and make friends. I don't know where to go for that. Making friends in person is so hard. I've tried online dating, but it just makes me feel like a object.
Now I'm left stressing about paying my utility bill. Life just keeps hitting me in the face.
Thanks for everyone who's been there. Who's commissioned. It's helped a lot. Love you guys, and hanks for reading.

Still Figuring FA Out ... Little help?
Posted 9 years agoI wanna customize my page, like my info bar, but I don't know how to add things. I also want to edit my commissions, but I don't know how, and I can't figure it out.
How do you link to someone's profile, where their icon shows up?
How to you make a link show up as just a word, or a couple words? ( like 'DeviantArt' and you click the word and it sends the person to your Deviant art page )
How do you make words certain colours?
How to you strike words? ( add a line through them )
ALSO, when editing commission types, how do you add images for examples?
Thanks for the help in advance <3

The Whole Truth [ Please Read ]
Posted 9 years agoHeya Everyone.
I'm not the most open person. In fact, I often push myself aside for others. I feel with all the support I have gotten from my fellow furries, you deserve to hear the whole story.
We moved into the place we are at now July 1st. I'm not getting into too much detail ( as that will be in my Go-Fund me whenever I get it up ), but to sum it up, our landlord is abusive, discriminate, and worse of all, a greedy, money eyed filled man.
Our first incident was when my roommate cut her finger open on the mailbox - because of instead paying the money to FIX IT, the landlord ducktaped it.
The next incident was when my sister emailed our landlord to ask if we could put her two year old REAL Avacado plant outside because it wasn't getting enough sun.
He agreed to allow her to do so, yet after just ONE HOUR of her plant being outside, his wife threw it in the trash.
Now, it may not seem like such a big deal to people - but my sister LOVED her plant. She grew it from a seed. She bought an avocado from the store, ate it, and planted the seed.
For two years she spent hundreds buying nutrient filled soil, special non-salt water, and in a blink of a eye, her 'child' was taken from her.
He refused to replace it. He said "It looked dead, and the soil was dry."
The next incident was when a tenant from downstairs came up to our apartment high on drugs. She was screaming "I WANT MY STUFF BACK", but we didn't HAVE any of her things!
She pushed her way into our apartment, and hit my sister. Granted, it wasn't hard, but it was enough to scare us knowing there was a girl high on drugs just crazy enough to come attack us out of NO WHERE.
We instantly called the police after we managed to get her out of the apartment.
What did our landlord do? Talk to her right? Let us out of the lease so we aren't in danger, right?
NOPE.
"The police will handle."
Yet it states in the lease that HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR SAFETY, and keeping us in a unplace safe and doing NOTHING about it is against the lease.
Then... damages.
The doors had holes, and you could see if someone was on the toilet.
Things were-and continue to fall apart. The screens in the windows kept falling out - our cats out on the window sill of a 4 story apartment. He even went as far as blaming US or the CATS, and we are "costing him money".
We had to call 'Property Standards', and they had to come make a report, and take pictures. He was then given a month to fix everything in the apartment.
One day, he gave us notice - a 12 hour window, saying a repair man would be in our apartment ALL DAY.
I emailed to clarify, asking if he would be there ALL DAY, or in and our.
He said 'All day'.
When he came, stayed a hour and left, I emailed him telling him he was to give us proper time requirements, as I had called the Landlord Tenant Board to get the proper information about notices.
I told him I would NOT be letting him back into the apartment, as he had been gone FIVE HOURS.
When he came back, my sister calmly tried to explain to him we were given wrong notices.
The man stormed off, threatening to call the city on us.
Later that night, we received an eviction notice.
Apparently my sister had screamed at the worker. This was proved to be false - as we have the incident on video.
He didn't even properly file the eviction notice the Service Canada =/
YET HE DIDN'T EVEN SPEAK TO THE TENANT THAT ATTACKED MY SISTER. YET "YELLING" AT A WORKER IS CAUSE ENOUGH FOR AN EVICTION NOTICE!!!
We don't have any heat, all of us constantly freezing, and we can't do anything about it.
He refuses to speak to us in person. We have numerous videos where he completely ignores us, and walks away, saying "only by email".
He claimed to have a mental disability, and that is why he cannot run the building.
We have even spoken to other tenants, who give him the same 'report'. He raises his voice and yells, and he doesn't like doing ANYTHING that requires him loosing any money.
We are currently speaking to lawyers about 'pain and suffering', as I mentioned previously my sister ended up in the hospital after a mental break down due to all the stress.
I haven't been able to work on art the past couple days due to my shaky fingers.
We went to our hearing. But his lawyer intimidated us, and since we didn't have any representation - we didn't go to the hearing.
Instead, we 'negotiated', and landed with $600 , because he came over before we got to speak to anyone else.
That's not nearly what we NEEDED. It will barely cover our moving costs, and we still need last months rent.
We had a WHOLE binder thick full of emails and evidence, we brought our laptop with the videos... but NOTHING was looked at.
We're in a shit hole, and now my sister has to go back to therapy because she's having suicidal thoughts. I hate seeing my sister in such a hole, and HE PUT HER THERE. She feels like she has NO control over her life.
We have to leave in two months, and we still don't know where to go.
And with my Grandfather's passing, we're worried about even having the money to go say goodbye to him.
So, to sum it up, my life is hell right now, and my mental state is getting worse. I know I have to be strong for my sister, but I'm getting weaker.

My Grandfather passed away
Posted 9 years agoAfter hours of crying, I've finally calmed down enough...
Please excuse spelling mistakes.
Obviously I knew that it was going to happen. His health was getting worse and worse. He ended up falling around ten times this year. He started getting seizers five years ago. To be honest, I'm surprised he pushed through this long.
Last week he had a stroke, and that's when we knew things were 100% going downhill. All the doctors could do was upping his medications, changing them, and giving him pain relievers.
He survived through so much. Earlier last year, he had to get half of his ear removed due to skin cancer.
It made me tear up when I found out ... out of all the family members, we kept my photo, and my photo only in his wallet, even though I rarely got to see him.
He never forgot my name, or what I looked like, yet his niece who lived with him became his nurse when alchimers took his mind.
He didn't even make it to his 80th birthday.
My Grandfather passed away last night, after having a seizer and falling hitting his head.
The problem is, he lives nearly 3 hours away, and I don't have the money to get a train ticket, or to pay someone gas money.
My family is in no position to help either, as they themselves have to pay their way up to say goodbye.
I'd like to apologize. My life has been hectic. We had our hearing with the LTB, but nothing was done. We are now speaking to lawyers about taking him to actual court, and getting money for pain and suffering.
I have a few commissions I still have yet to complete, but unfortunately emergencies call for these types of things.
I feel stupid for spending my money. I shouldn't have bought the things I did ... but I didn't know he'd pass so soon. I thought he'd at least be around for Christmas.
I'm trying to get $250 for my sister and I to get train tickets to Hamiltion to say goodbye to my grandfather. I don't have that many supporters, but I'm hoping that I can get the funds through commissions.

Banned from www.Wolfhome.com
Posted 9 years agoI got banned this morning from the Wolfhome forums because I posted porn apparently.
The thing is, I posted a link to my whole page on here! My gallery is not mainly porn, in fact, there are only TWO NSFW art pieces on my page.
I read the rules before posting to make sure it would be okay, and with the not-so-clear rules, I thought I got my 'okay' and posted it!
.... then got a 24 hour ban ... then got a permanent ban.
I'd like to know.... what's your opinion of Wolfhome? Have you had any problems?
I'm just a bit emotional about this.
Clear and simple. Make your rules CLEARER, and there won't be a problem.
and I've only been using Wolfhome for a MONTH, and I get banned?
Another problem is I have paid for over $40 worth of commissions I haven't received from people, because I'm banned and cannot access! WTF!?
