So, for those that haven't guess, I absolutely detest my job to no ends, and if it weren't for the fact working in one place for barely a month is almost a death kiss to a job resume, I'd already be gone. I've still got a few months before the pet place I worked at will be able to rehire me after the pneumonia fiasco (curse you 6 month no-rehire rule) so I'm going to be sticking it out where I currently am until I can just jump back into my old job.

That said, arts been way slower than I ever wanted it to be. I'd been working mainly on the big Rave picture since that's on of the oldest things on my list, and it's coming along, but I still haven't even gotten into the shading of it yet, so it's still got a ways to go.

It was brought to my attention that I should probably also be working on smaller pieces as I go along, so I should be starting to post up other commissions as I get them finished every couple days, work permitting.

I also want to apologize for the huge delays on everything.

A factory reset, that's what cost.

I had to safe files on the fly, and the only thing I had was a 4 gig flash drive at the time, so I've lost a TON of stuff. MOSTLY finished stuff and old .sai files, but I might have lost some working files too.

Currently I'm going through and checking on what I managed to save and what all's been lost. I THINK I have all the currently-in-the-works commission stuff still, but I'm not sure yet.

Good news though, computer's running super smoothly again!

posting feom my phone which is a pain to type from

Couple updates though! One! Never mentioned it publicly, but after I for sick in April I solid end up losing my job. Well recently I got a new one and started earlier this week! So sorry bout being so quiet. Its a full time one, so 8 hours a day, which is new to me. I've always hadpart times in the last.

Two! Something is up with my computer. Its bluescreened a couple times in the last but always come back up fine until today. I managed to get it up but Windows explorer keeps xlcrwlashing left and right, in safe mode too. I'm having a hard time getting it to work long enough to get files transfered over to something else, but if I can I can still use Sunnys comp to work on stuff. If I can y'all know right away. I'm gonna keep trying til Friday when i get my first paycheck to get it looked at. Til then I'm stuck.

In the mean time though, I was messing around with perler beads, and I'll still be open for traditional badges and stuff this week.

Also, been getting a lot of linework done on the Rave ych~ almost half way done with that part of it! It sure is a doozy @ w @ Can't wait to get started on coloring it :D






But yeah! I'm gonna start doing telegram stickers too! Basic ones (shoulders and up) are gonna be $10 each, and more detailed ones (full body, big props, 2 characters shoulders up) are gonna be $15. I might do some deals and stuff like, 4 stickers for $40 as a flat number thing, or 15 simple for $100?


What do yall think? o w o

I THINK I still have my notes up through the 17th, but if you're still feeling iffy about notes from the past week or so, go ahead and re-send me whatever you'd like!



But yeah, I'm gonna wait a couple of days before re-uploading finished stuff from last week since everyone's blasting through uploading stuff right now. When I finish a couple things I'd been working on in the down time, I'll post those up as I finish them *tomorrow most likely!* but aside from that, FA's gonna have a huge workload with the re-up's tonight and tomorrow as it is.


I'm also gonna be adding links to alternate sites (this'll still be my main where I upload everything) that'll have SOME of my art on it, and also e-mail contact for if FA goes down again/Sending commission information and reference FILES (instead of links, cause well, if the site goes dark again, links are moot) :3 I won't be checking it as a normal everyday thing for chatting back and forth, but it'll be linked with my phone for REALLY SUPER IMPORTANT stuff, but I'm hoping people don't abuse it. If I'm not actively online, I'm usually doing other stuff that's really important to me. I kinda feel like I'm one of the few that wasn't totally panicking over no FA for a couple days lol. It was kind of nice! I got to play a bunch of ARK: Survival Evolved, and we went to disney cause it's dead during the middle of the week! And refridgerator shopping. That wasn't.. so fun... My fridge died lol. And some other crappy stuff BUT THAT'S OK, cause there's no sense freaking out about stuff right now. just gotta keep on going and just kinda push on and draw some adorable pick-me-up stuff.

so it's not sweltering here anymore :D

I thought it was just my computer getting hot earlier during the stream, but I just recently checked the AC and with it set to 70, it's 78 in the house while it's blowing and trying to cool stuff down. It doesn't usually get over 73, so something is definitely wrong. We just had the whole unit replaced about a month and a half ago, so I'm gonna be calling the guy that installed it first thing in the morning.

sai crashed and I lost a bunch of work cause I'm dumb and didn't save and now I don't feel like drawing anymore today.... *headdesk*

working on getting the daycare one totally finished up today and if all goes well I'm gonna see if I can't get the camp one up later today as well! I keep having conflicting ideas on if it should be a daytime one or a night time one, so it MIGHT be a 2 parter. We'll see ~

Sorta! I'm sort of doing a stay-cation with my family for mothersday this weekend, so I may or may not be online saturday and sunday. most likely I will saturday night if anything, but both days are gonna be pretty full for us :3


I'm gonna be starting up the sketch for the next big YCH group picture, but I'm not sure which one I'm gonna do just yet! The 3 big ideas from the last time I asked were Waterpark, Camping Trip, and Toy store! But I also kind of want to do one for a movie theater! SO those are the 4 choices! I'm gonna leave this journal up over the weekend, so lemme know what kind of picture you'd like to see. You can pick more than one if you're stick between two, but I do wanna narrow it down to what's next. Alternately, if you've got a new idea, feel free to toss that my way! If you like one of the new ideas, go ahead and add that into the voteing as well. I won't be starting on that until next week, when I'll also be starting on the RAVE one :D There's still 4 spots left in that one btw, I think it's 3, 10, 18, and 25? It's over here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19391684/

HEY HEY! :D

Uh, it's been a little bit and I'm having a hard time digging through my owed commissions lists. If I owe anyone a commission, please sent me a note with 'OLD COMMISSION' in the title or added into the title somewhere with the information for your commission and when-about you originally commissioned it, unless i've talked to you in the last couple of days regarding your commission. If I've talked to you in the last 3-4 days, I HAVE YOUR STUFF ALREADY and I'm working on stuff right now!



For anyone interested in NEW commissions, please put 'NEW COMMISSION' in the note title, and yours will be sketched out soon and added to my trello, but finished AFTER the old commissions that I owe. I do have a bit of a back log on art, but I still need to be able to make money to pay upcoming bills, and will be doing a lot more art in the near future to help cover that. I will also be putting out a few new YCHs soon as well!

Well mostly all better. The cold I had back in march ended up developing into pneumonia, and I was in the hospital for a couple of weeks before I was able to come home. I literally don't even remember the first two weeks of April thanks to some extremely vivid crazy hallucination fever dreams. Holy crap will I never use that term lightly ever again. Once I got back home I briefly talked to on telegram (i'm @tipard, btw! I forgot to ever actually post that. oops) about everything, and I'd been trying to get a tiny bit caught up before posting I was ok (and also to make sure I was actually ok and not be like HI and end up back at the doctors), but a bit over a week ago, our internet was disconnected due to non-payment. I now ya'll have heard up and down about issues with my ex, but we'd never gotten it switched over into my name, so I'd been sending the payment to them and I THOUGHT they'd been actually paying for the internet since they were the only ones with the account information anymore. Unfortunately that wasn't the case, and now our address was marked as a non-payment / do not serve kind of place. It took me a few days of calling different people till I found a super nice representative that was willing to work with me on stuff and got all of that straightened out finally. Otherwise they were asking for a stupid amount in back payments and extra fees to even turn it back on for us. She even suggested I sue to get the paid money back from the ex, but the payout wouldn't be worth it versus the fees to actually do that.

All in all, april went by in a blink for me, but I guess that happens when you get really sick.

I'm really sorry that I made people worry! I didn't really expect anyone to, well, care that much if I was gone for a bit. Actually I was expecting to come back to a lot more angry notes than I have, and I'm really happy to be back ; w ;

back from easter brunchfastdinnermassivesinglemealoftheday with my family and I'm super beat. I'm gonna go take some nyquil and probably pass out again for the forseeable future of the night. Gonna be jumping back on board for art tomorrow morning *milking sick days from work to catch up on last minute stuff and get things mailed out*

blehgh, man, i've beenw ay out of it the last couple days. finally awake enough to be awake, but still. I dunno what I got but I am so not alive right now. Not dead, but hella not alive. but i'm on the upswing I think. gonna eat some brothy soup and veg out to some disney movies while I drift back off into the land of medicianlly induced groggyness.

also people that were getting badges from me for fwa (all three of you) please send me your addresses so I/my roomies/whoever takes pity on me and does this/ can send out badges to get to people before con.

Basically, where you want glowy stuff placed, like if you want more bracelets or a necklace, or JUST glowsticks in your hands or anywhere else you might want something glowy *or other glowy items, cause I just did basic stuff in the derp sketches*

Like, half the people have asked me about this that I noted yesterday, so I just made a journal about it instead :P

We had a bit of stuff come up involving our air conditioner and the con-fund money I'd been saving got put towards that instead, so at the moment, I'm probably not gonna be able to actually make it to the con. For the couple of people that were getting badges from me, I'm going to be doing them probably tomorrow and mailing them to you asap. I'm also starting to work on the sketch for the next big piece *gonna be finished AFTER the daycare picture* and should have at least the starting bit for it posted up later tonight. I picked the cubby rave theme, since I do like drawing glowing things and haven't in a while.

BUT as it stands, I'm not gonna be able to attend FWA this year, and I'm kinda super bummed :c

While I work on the daycare pic! (there's still 1-2 spots open on that, but if they're not gone by, say, monday? i'ma just stick in me n GC for them as space fillers)

The beach one came out REALLY NICE And I had an awesome time making that scene! I love pics that have a lot of movement and a bunch of stuff going on that gives you a lot to look at and sorta tells a story along the way, or a bunch of stories i guess x3 But I'm open to ideas right now on where to start for the next one!

Edit:

OH man so many good ideas! I'm leaning towards Waterpark, Camping trip, or the cubby rave *cause glowstuff amg yas* right now. I DEFINITELY wanna do a toy store one too, though, but I'd like to get most of the BG for that one done before hand becuase that's gonna be some CRAZY detail to that.

OK so, I've actually had a pretty decent art groove going the last couple of days *mostly practicing to get back into the swing of not sucking at art lol* and I'm feeling pretty good :3 We've got MOST of the house stuff sorted and organized and stuff like that, so the last part of the hiatus-y thing is done? I think?

Art postings should be resuming their normal multi-pic-a-day-ish posting routine again now... or shortly...probably now! Once I get the beach thing finished since it's big, but once that one's up *since it's from like, january* i'm gonna be trying to get out 1-3 pics a day till I'm caught up. No particular order, but yeah!

but I'm back! Gonna do another journal in a bit with a better explanation of the last two weeks n stuff, but the short of it is the last week's been mostly helping get moved in, hit up a bunch of job interview searchy things, and getting a bunch of stuff that they weren't able to bring with them as far as living essentials. I actually hadn't realized it was already tuesday again already @-@;

Week after valentines was full of flak with the ex over phone stuff since we shared a plan, getting dragged into house sitting for my parents for 4 days and forgot my laptops power cord, and the back tire of my car went flat leading to getting both of those changed, having a leak in my rear axle?(idk i'm bad at car things, these are just words I remember) and ending up with a $600 pricetag on that right before bill time, but the family was able to help with that.

And we have fleas. So i'm getting those taken care of one room at a time via Borax and a follow up of a flea spray that should take care of eggs and larva for the next couple weeks. We've had to move literally all the furniture for that, but we were going to be reorganizing stuff anyway with the furniture merge, so this sort of works out?

I guess this was actually sort of a decent rundown of the last couple weeks for me? I'm probbaly still gonna be slow the upcoming week or two on art because we're still getting GC settled in, and having their cats meet my cats in the slowest way possible, but yeah~ Had a pretty bad down, but it's going back up finally! Everything's just so tiring anymore, I could just sleep forever, but then I don't get anything done, which is no bueno. So naps it is. Naps are awesome.

for and for their pwyw sketches if they're interested! I meant to do this on monday, but work just got way out of hand and I pretty much passed out when I got home. It was supposed to be a nap, but, uh, oops.


But I just went back through my to-do list and notes and re-did my personal list of stuff to do an oh man, I've been bad this past month D: so much to catch up on. And some stuff's been waiting over a month now > _ <;;; I'm gonna be trying to get at least one thing done a day, or 2 if I end up getting behind with something else like work or class, and play catch up the next couple weeks. I'm still gonna be taking on new stuff, just keep in mind there is gonna be a queue and new stuff's gonna be at the end of it. *gonna be re-doing the trello a little bit too! make it flow better. not yet, but I'm gonna. it's way outta date.*

I'm gonna make myself sick with how much chocolate I'ma buy :D

I've got 5-6 more to do for now, 3 that I'm definitely gonna be trying to get done today (for Sleygal, Spyro_97, and DataHazard64) but the ones after that may be getting finished tomorrow. I MIGHT not be able to get those other 3 all done today *earlier this week got really crazy, so I ended up not being able to work on art for a few days which put me behind on these* but I'm gonna try my best!

I've got a major craving for some kind of new soup, so I figured I'd ask around while I look around. The only soup I've found I don't like is Pea Soup, which is weird cause I love Peas.

today was a bad day too, but I'm going to be working on art stuff to distract. No stream, but I'll be posting a bunch later tonight. Not feeling very talkative either. Sorry.

after I eat some dinner. I got a few commissions finished today, and sketched up the valentines YCHs, but I still feel like sketching, so I'ma do that in like, 30 minutes to an hour? depends on how long food takes :P

people from stream, post ya stuff here for the continuation stream tomorrow~
