Aliens will begin their final invasion on Dec. 22, 2012, according to the Cigarette Smoking Man and Fox Mulder's own observation.


Have a great day, everybody. :3

Yeah, Finals week is here, so the past week I've been super busy trying to get projects done. It is almost to a close.

Also, I've been sick for a couple days. But, I'm starting to get better, and I will have some free time coming up, so I'll get back to doing arts.

What kind of art would you like to see from me?

What species do you guys like, and would like to see?

What do you think I need to work on MOST in my art? (eg. Paws, legs, muzzle, eyes, torso)

Any critique? Any ideas?

Code talkers, as probably all of you know, were Native Americans who served in the United States military, who transmitted messages that were encoded based upon their native language.

Most people associate 'code talker' to the Navajo Indians, who served in World War II. But not very many people know that the first tribe to use code talking were the Choctaw Indians in World War I.

As some of you know, I am Choctaw. And my great-grandfather was one of the original Code Talkers.

For many years, native american code talkers were not recognized at all. Then, both Reagan and Clinton recognized only the Navajo code talkers. However, the Choctaw were overlooked.

It wasn't until George W. Bush signed The Code Talkers Recognition Act of 2008, that my great-grandfather received the recognition he deserved. It gave my tribe a Congressional Gold Medal, and a Silver duplicate to my family.

Today, November 9, my great-grandfather was inducted into the Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame.

He was an amazing man, and I am proud to be his great-grandson, and am proud to be a Choctaw.

Chahta sia!

My dad is recovering. The tumor happens to be cancerous. The tumor removed was around 20 cm long, which is quite big. I saw pictures of the tumor while it was still in my dad, a scan of his body, and the tumor was pushing some of his organs to the side.

As for everything else, I'm doing ok. Been really busy, trying to keep alive with school and work. But, I have a bit of time to do some art this weekend.

I'm back from Oklacon, and feeling great! It was a blast.

Hey, I'm a little low on money, and need some to get to Oklacon.

One character, no background
Sketch: $3
Inked: $5
Flat color: $7
Shaded: $10

I'm sorry I didn't clarify this earlier

but on the previous journal about my dad, he was in the hospital to get a diagnosis or whatever, but he didn't have his surgery until recently.

As far as what's going on, he had a tumor attached to his stomach, or something along those lines.
He had surgery on it, and they were able to remove it with little complication it sounded like.

And...we'll find out more about the tumor once they get it analyzed. Let's hope for the best.

I'll be continuing at around 7:15pm
http://www.livestream.com/zafuyu

come watch if you want. chat with me and others. I think I'll probably be doing a TF pic.

 kitsukyo posted a journal asking for feedback on his art, and I was already thinking of doing the same (for my art).

Soo....

What do you like about my art?

How can I improve?

Feedback is appreciated!

Please leave a comment. :3

Found my old Bamboo fun. It still works, and will do.

I still miss my bigger better tablet, but I can still do art.

Which means that I'll be doing significantly less art, if any art at all.

I'm in a bad place right now, with all that's happening. I'm feeling really discouraged...

Sorry to all those I'm doing requests for. I'll get to them...eventually...

Yup! I'm opening for a few more slots for TF Requests.

Rules:

1. Cannot have gotten a request from my last journal.
2. Give me a species
3. Optional: Give me a trigger or story, description of who is being TFed
(else I get to choose), description of animal (if is fursona, character, etc)
4. The species CANNOT be one of the following:
-fox
-wolf
-dog
-shark
-meerkat
-bear
-goat
-mouse
-lion
-otter
This is because this is kinda a continuation of my last batch of requests,
because I'm trying to get a variety of different species to try
5. Include at least one smiley in your post here
6. I'll only be taking 3 to 5. If you don't get in, don't be sad. Because I
might do this again.

Slots:

1.  shebawolf145 (DONE)
2.  timekitsune (DONE)
3.  mcwerewolf (DONE)
4.  randomwolf91 (DONE)
5.  kitsune4673 (sketched)

Two things:

Well, my scholarship has run out, and I am now facing debts I won't be able to pay. College is expensive, and the job I have right now does not pay very much. I am going to start having to take out some loans. And with how much school I still have to go, and the cost of living and whatnot, it will be pretty significant.


The second bad news is my dad. I know very little details, but they found some mass somewhere in his body that may or may not be cancerous, and will need to be removed.


This is just a lot to deal with right now.

An artist draws a self portrait while under the influence of a different drug each time, for a ton of different drugs.

Just thought this was interesting, and wanted to share. I wouldn't recommend doing this, especially as quickly he did it.

I had a great time at RMFC. This was my 2nd RMFC and my 11th con. At cons, I normally go to a lot of panels and hang out. Well, at this one, because it is my FIRST con with a fursuit, I went to very few panels, and fursuited a lot! I'll share a few of my highlights.

Fursuit parade - I've been wanting to be in the parade for a long time. And it was much fun. I like showing off how awesome I look in suit.

Fursuit charades - Last year, I had been a judge for the charades. So this year, I wanted to participate. It went well. There are videos on youtube starting here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT2M-mvIvj0

Friends: Getting to hang out and see friends. Such as  kobaj  kalefoxie  standarddeviant  levaytiger  bloodwriter

Meeting furs: I had the pleasure of meeting furs such as  saberclaw and  leonloco

Random suiting: On saturday morning, I woke up around maybe 7:30 to 8? My body was still used to getting up early. So...nothing was going on, so I decided to suit. Down in the lobby, I was the only suiter for a long while because it was early. However, since it was early, there were several people and families that were checking out, or leaving to do things in Denver. So, I got to interact with kids for the first time. I saw maybe 6-8 kids? And the look of amazement or happiness at the sight of a huge tigerfox is one of the coolest feelings ever. Some of them came up, and I either got a hug or a highfive. Some were a little scared, but waved back when I waved at them. :3

Furry stuff: Got myself some new badges. I'll be posting them in the next several days along with previous badges I haven't gotten around to posting. I also got the large Dragonborn print from Blotch.

Check it out!

I'll be at Rocky Mountain Fur Con this weekend, showing off my awesome suit!

I love drawing foxes and dogs and wolves. Those are awesome. But, I do need practice with other species as well.

Therefore, I will take 5 requests for Non-Canine species.
I will either draw your fursona, or I can do a single TF to the certain animal.
It will be a single image, and will be either sketched, inked, or colored depending on what I feel like.

Rules:
1. Must be a non-canine species.
2. Must be a different species than someone before you.

If you are still interested, comment on here with refs, details, and anything else. Compliments are nice. :3 Critique as well. I'm doing this for fun, so don't expect anything amazing. Look at my gallery. That's how good/bad I am.

1. Shark TF  thronezwei (DONE)
2. Meercat TF  kitsukyo (DONE)
3. Bear  grip_the_wolf (DONE)
4. Goat TF  squirrellyjay (DONE)
5.Mouse TF  cyberfox (DONE)
6. Lion TF  misharu (DONE)
7. Otter TF  dani1232 (plotting)

Any thoughts?

Any tips?

I really want to get better at my juggling. I juggle 3 balls, and 3 clubs at the moment. I'm looking into buying juggling torches, and juggling fire at some point. I have done rings, and I almost could do 4 at one point. And I'm thinking of getting a devil stick or a diablo and getting good at that.

Who else was amazed at how awesome Sardyuon was?

Hey everyone!

AC was a good time.

Getting to the con center was quite stressful. I arrived at the airport, and waited for the bus. Got downtown, but might have gotten off at a stop too soon? I was totally lost, so I just started walking a direction, stopped at a mcdonalds and asked directions. Got...a, i think it's that way a few blocks...so I started walking that way. When  kitsukyo FINALLY answered his phone (been trying to get in contact while i was totally lost), I got better directions to the westin. I got in, and that place is big, and I had no idea where registration was.  mcwerewolf and kit finally came to my rescue, led me around, and walked to our hotel at the DoubleTree.


I went to some good things throughout the con. I went to a graphic novel panel by Teagan of Blotch, that was really cool! I went to the brony panel, and really enjoyed that. I went to a character creation panel, the college furs panel, the TF panel, ummm...., advanced fursuiting, and hands and feets. I really enjoyed these.

I also went to dinner Sunday night with a huge group of furs. I sat at a table with 3 people I had never met before, and had a good time, despite being very bad at talking to new people.

The TF art jam, and hanging out at the zoo Sunday night were fun. I drew in  gaia1234's book and he drew in mine! ^^

I also got a really nice compliment from someone, and that makes me feel really good.

I have to make an apology to furs at the dinner, I was fairly depressed and a little angry at kit and fawkes.

All in all, it was a good con.

Shout out to  dustyfoxy who's fursuit is awesome! I'm so glad I got to finally meet and hug him. Gaia's suit was great! Glad to meet  lanhao too. And more, I'm still a little worn out, after traveling and delays on Monday, and working all day today.
