I was recently laid off from my job, along with pretty much everyone else at my studio.

So...this leaves me with considerable more free time (between looking for work and playing Skyrim) to do work on commissions, both for fun and to make a bit of side coin in much needed circumstances.

I'm pretty open to anything. As you can see from my gallery, I will do fetish work (but I may decline certain extreme things at my discretion).

Pencil sketches- $10
Inked sketches- $15
Colored Pencil/Marker- $20
Digital/Photoshop- $30

The above rate applies to 1 piece, 1 character. $5 for each additional page, $2 for additional character.

Note me for more specific details.


Thanks ^_^


NOTE: All new commissions will be posted, with the commissioner's consent, to the new  creamsiclecat account

Hello All!
I find myself in my usual state of procrastination- and I just realized that it is nearly December and I have found that I do not have any arrangements made for FC. D:

Is anyone in need of a clean, responsible roomie who will pay their fair share up front? I don't care if the room is in the hotel or in a nearby motel (within reason of course :P)

I may see if there are still any vacancies in adjacent or area motels, and if that's the case, then I will be needing roomies myself!

I will bring plenty of noms too! :D

Hello, fellow furries!

As I've mentioned before in some previous journals, I am undertaking a major personal project. Actually, it's been in the works for some time, but I'm making the completion of said project a priority.

The project in question is a novel. Yes, everyone and their dog writes a novel- or tries to, anyways. But I would like to actually complete this tome in some fashion in my lifetime :P

To do so, I need volunteer readers- anyone who enjoys a good book (which is what I'm hoping the end product here will be). More details of the project can be found here:

If you are interested, either comment, pm me or e-mail me directly at anyapakhl25[at]yahoo.com


Many thanks!

No drama. Just need a hiatus.

Check out my main account:  creamsiclecat for details.

I wanted to let everyone know the creative juices are a-flowin' and I am ready to crank out new stuff with my brand spanking new computer.

Original artwork to come- check out the aforementioned page as this one is just for my own personal watchage and archival purposes.

Psst...
This will be my new account  creamsiclecat once I get around to uploading stuff there. There's nothing there just yet!

I'm not deleting stuff from here, just moving on.

 topanga will still have photographic, and original/non-fetish related work.

Just a head's up :D

This is what I come home to after leaving my kittens alone in my room all afternoon. Sent to about three different people in IMs (Yes they hit the enter key).

I will be at Antheria today and some of tomorrow (to see 2 and Uncle Kage's shows). I have work both Saturday and Sunday so I'll have to miss most of the day's activities :(

I don't mean any hate by the title of this journal....but a Best Western, really? Maybe I'll be eating my words, but the hotel change has really put a damper on the whole thing for me :\

Still, looking forward to seeing folks :D

Power went out at my place last night and just came back today. I pretended I was an Amish person with a DS. Animal Crossing looks suprisingly good in candle light....

Also I have a siamese kitten now. I am OFFICIALLY a crazy cat lady. OFFICIALLY.

This was Rudy:

I hate seeing these guys go, especially an animal that would have made a wonderful pet. He never got the chance. At least he was given a second chance and lived out a wonderful life at the no-kill shelter. He was a favorite of many volunteers and staff, and it was really hard to see him go. :(

My cat Sam loves to terrorize my other kitty Bee using various forms of psychological torture. Today, he raised the bar to to levels never before imagined.

Sam figured out how to trap Bee inside her pet carrier...he chased her in there and CLOSED THE DOOR and sat in front of the carrier glaring at her. That is the scene I was presented with.

He is one step away from world domination...

Two newborn kittens showed up at the shelter yesterday, apparently abandoned by their mother. Commence the "awww"...

my cat is realy small and i want her to be big and fat like a bobcat, can i crush up penis enlarging pills and put them in her food to make her enlarger?

Gotta love yahoo answers.

Because I love posting stuff about Squeak, and admit it- you love it too.

This will be the last update for a bit though, because my camera is DEAD. I dropped it in a creek. Camera no likey water.

The so-called "Leadwell Kitties" are a semi-feral, uncontrolled cat colony residing in an abandoned apartment complex property in Van Nuys, CA. They are being fed, but not being spayed/neutered or receiving any medical care, by a mentally ill hoarder. The result is dozens upon dozens of cats, many very small kittens, wandering the property in their own filth.

This has gotten some internet attention thanks to this facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/HelpSaveLeadwellKitties

but still...Animal Control has not intervened. There has been no media attention to this problem. The facebook page and the youtube channel- http://www.youtube.com/user/henleyst document in great detail the degree of abuse and inhumane treatment that is occurring. If for no other reason, this must certainly pose a general health risk/code violation to the people living in the adjacent apartment complexes.

I know this is just one of many, many cases like this that go on unreported of hoarding and neglect...but certainly something should be done. How long can people continue to look the other way?

So I'm going to join some other furs in an airsoft group...I've never done airsoft before, but I have been shot by a paintball so I'm not afraid of the pain :P

Any tips/advice for the novice airsoft player? We're going to do a LARP sort of situation with a zombie apocalypse theme in a field.

What sort of equipment do you all recommend?

I am really, really excited ^_^

July to be the month of making lots and lots and lots of awesome art.

I have about a month of unemployment ahead of me until I can reapply for my old testing job (contract requirements, blah blah blah)...so I have lots of time, and not a lot of money. Perfect combination to do lots of art, and get caught up on things.

Consider this a mid-year resolution of sorts to be as creative and make as much (hopefully) awesome art as possible :D

Enjoy :D If you landed on my page after meeting me at Anthrocon...feel free to IM me at AnyapakhL25 if you're of the Yahoo using variety or AnyaWerecat for AIM ^_^ Or for anyone really :P just chat with me

Also, I now have a livejournal *sigh* I finally gave in.
*pokes URL* http://raptorkitty.livejournal.com/

The last week I've been volunteering some time at a place called the Casitas Hotel for Cats, which is a boarding place/shelter location which works with the Kitten Rescue Organization of Los Angeles.

As part of my volunteering duties, I have been taking photographs of all the kitties. If you wanna see some super cute cats....look here:

^_^

In no particular order...

1.I have a kitten :3 She is 4 weeks old and she is cuter than anything but she smells lol

2. I was laid off from work today. Now I can take care of said kitten. Yay for optimism

3. I am going to both Califur and AC, and will likely blow my last paycheck.

4. I have been sick off and on lately but will be seeing a gastroenterologist at the end of the month (after AC). Also seeing a chiropractic tomorrow. Yay for getting old!

5. I drank 1/4 of a 30 year old bottle of wine last night with an old friend.

6. To everyone waiting on comissions and requests...you will see stuff soon :D

7. I love a certain wolf. He knows who he is.

Just an update on the goings-on and happenings in the life of the raptor kitty. How is everyone?

Try smoking catnip?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Nepeta

"I tried smoking some cat nip and experienced arousal towards my cat. Therefore, this statement is true."

okay.....


Hooray for unexpected humor on wikipedia. And no, I don't advocate that kind of cat-human love :P

I just found out today. I am very sad I wasnt able to properly celebrate the occasion :(

Therefore, today I am proclaiming today, April 18th, is Raptorkitty Awareness Day. Traditional observations will include libations of prickly pear tea and chocolate cake. Let the celebrations begin!

Just wanted to share a random squee for the black dragon from that movie I know everyone here has seen....

That is all.

Also...he reminds me a lot of my black kitty Sam, especially with his big yellow eyes.

I will be faving much more toothless arts I think. ^^

http://www.brookstone.com/Frog-O-Sphere-frogs.html

I just found out about the Frog-O-Sphere. As you can tell by the image, it's a very very tiny container meant to house two african dwarf frogs with a bamboo plant to act as a natural "filtration device".

W...T...F.

The bamboo will certainly aid in filtering out the waste the frogs will produce, but this is hardly adequate housing for one, let alone two, african dwarf frogs.

I own one of these frogs myself -in a six gallon long tank with a betta. The tank is heated and has an actual power filter to help keep the water clean.

This is how these frogs should be housed. African dwarf frogs are tropical animals and require heating in order to thrive. Also, as amphibians, they are very sensitive to water quality. I can't imagine any frog living very long in this kind of setup.

The real outrage, and its really how I feel about the "designer" mini betta bowls you see at petco and petsmart, is that there seems to be less of a concern for the welfare of the animal, and more attention played to the "fun color schemes" to match your room.

Poor froggies :( Hopefully some people who buy this ridiculous setup will do some research on their newly purchased pets and realize that the sphere is not an adequate housing habitat and get them into a real tank. However, I'm sure many more won't and will be shocked to find two dead frogs within a week or so, or worse, have pets that languish in their own waste and in poor health for months or even years.

Bleh.

BTW...these are very fun pet frogs and pretty easy to take care of. I do recommend them...in a spacious tank with lots of plants and frequent water changes!

This looks very very cool and I hope to preorder a hard copy at AC this year. As an aspiring writer myself, I wanna show my support. Spread the word!
