Absence and Apology
Posted 7 months agoHey guys.
This journal will probably be somewhat lengthy, and vague in areas, but pertains to my disappearance from online and is mostly directed towards those I owe artwork to. I will include a TL;DR at the bottom for those of you simply here to get a summary of my lack of updated gallery.
First of all, I would like to say that I am deeply and abidingly sorry to those that my absence and lack of work has inconvenienced or inhibited in any way. I never meant to let you all down, and this fed into a vicious cycle that was self-proliferated over the last couple years.
As some of you may know, I suffer deeply from anxiety and depression. Over the last year, that has compounded significantly as life has struggled in any way to be kind to me and my family. Between health issues among those I love, and those of my own, my physical state has deteriorated, only exacerbated by my mental state. I have been to so many doctor's appointments in the last six months that it's kind of dumbfounding, but I am working on trying to get my physical health under control. My arthritis has gotten significantly worse, and being in constant physical pain only bulks the mental failings. As I said, it has been a vicious cycle and has done a real number on my ability to function in any capacity.
As I was already struggling with these things, I experienced an extremely crucial and consequential loss in my personal life that quite simply destroyed me. It has taken me months to even slightly come to terms with the aching hole it has left in my life, and deeply affected an already deteriorated mental struggle. I have spent my time away reflecting on things that happened or were said and recognize that my failings fed into the complete obliteration of something I feel both parties took for granted. I yearn to repair the burned bridge, but also know that for all those involved, there were wounds inflicted that likely will not be repaired, healed, or even scarred over for a long, long time. This loss and the damage it inflicted on me only served to cause my mental being to implode. Self-doubt and self-hatred have run rampant through my unstable mind, and I ended up having to truly detach from anything associated with this lost connection to even try to function in my life outside the online world.
I mentioned above that my mental health has included anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and self-hatred. While these issues are in no way anyone's fault, they have been fed a steady diet by the repeating dialogue in my head, and the disappointment I have in myself for becoming one of those awful artists that has art owed beyond a reasonable timeline.
I admit I fell into a pit of offering new work when I had too much outstanding work. For this, I must say: I am so, so sorry. It's too easy to fall into this trope as a digital artist, especially as a financial need arises and we all simply try to afford to live. My return will see a vastly different approach to how I will do business going forward. First and foremost, I will not be accepting new work until my owed queue has been completely cleared. This means that if I owe you art, it will be worked on as I slowly move through the tricky maze of trying to right my wrongs, fix my errors, and offer those who entrusted me to work for them a product that - I hope - will in some way make the waits worthwhile. With this in mind, however, I must strongly iterate: No refunds will be offered. This is not because I do not *want* to offer them, but because I cannot. I simply do not have the money to do so.
Per that awful truth, I will be altering how I receive payments when I eventually re-open to commissions. These things will be covered in my revised Terms of Service, which I will not share until I have finished the work I already owe and am ready to ease back into offering work to those who may, gratefully on my part in no uncertain terms, still wish to work with me and allow me the honor and opportunity to bring your creations to life.
To those who have checked in on me in this time of detachment, I wish to say deeply and profoundly - thank you. It has been all too easy to fall into a winding black hole of "I could disappear, and nobody would even notice or care" which, admittedly, is self-pitying and dramatic, but none-the-less a disturbing mantra that has chanted through my mind with varying intensity over the last couple years. So, with no end, no unyielding gratitude, thank you so much for showing me that people still care, despite my failures.
I am only human, and a vastly flawed. I have never, and will never, assume that I am in any way perfect. I have a temper, struggle with pressure, am creatively unstable (it is utterly controlled by my mental state and physical endurances - which have fallen drastically), and often overwhelmed by both internal conflict and external circumstances. With the deep awarenesses of my own imperfections, I would like to say this is not a "woe is me" update to everyone, but simply an examination of truths.
If you have read this journal update in its entirety, thanks for sticking around. I want to reiterate that I am thoroughly sorry for how my issues and conflicts may have affected you. I hope you will allow me the grace to begin repairing what I have broken or allowed to be damaged.
TL;DR: Shit happens, life happens. I'm human and flawed. I'm sorry for so much. Commissions are closed until my current queue is done and all owed artwork has been completed.
Sincerely,
Zorkia

Baby Day!
Posted 5 years agoToday's the day.
As some of you know, if you've kept up with my journals the last year, I am hella pregnant right now. Today, I'm scheduled for a cesarean to deliver our baby girl. (Before anyone asks, I'm auto c-section because of trauma and damage from my first child's birth).
I will be out of touch and contact for at least a few weeks while I heal and focus on the adjustments to life with two children, taking care of a newborn again, and HEALING from a major surgery - my FIRST EVER surgery.
I understand that waiting on art sucks, especially if it is a LONG wait (see my Trello board and the attached image of Baymax - I AM NOT FAST), but I appreciate every bit of support and patience any and all of you have offered. You will get your art; I just need time for the above-mentioned as well as juggling chronic illnesses on top of it all.
In short, I'm still alive - my disappearance over the next few weeks is temporary.Streaming

Posted 5 years agoMore Details About the Mess of a Move
Posted 5 years agoHoly WOW this has been a long couple weeks.
My last journal was sparse and simply stated a lot was going on, so I figured I'd go ahead and post a more in-depth journal so that all who are wondering how I am/where their art is, can get an update.
At the beginning of July, my husband received an opportunity for a job change, and a big upgrade in our living arrangements. Unfortunately, it meant that we'd be uprooting our lives from Oklahoma and transporting our family and anything we owned to Washington State. A 28 hour drive from our old home.
We had originally planned that we'd give it til the end of August before the move actually took place, but the employers got back to my husband much faster than we anticipated. Long story short, the entire process - which we believed would take 2-3 months based on inside information from my husband's mother - ended up being totaled into a 6-week transition.
In short, we very abruptly had to empty our 2-bedroom house, pare down our belongings, and could ONLY BRING what would fit in the trunk and 2/3rd seats of our 2016 Ford Fusion - still leaving space for my son's car-seat. This was INCREDIBLY grueling and difficult for me, as I tend to pack-rat and hold on to ANYTHING that has ANY SORT OF sentimental value.
In the midst of discovering our lives were about to change drastically, I found out that I am pregnant.
Baby #2 is on it's way, due sometime in March 2020.
With all the abrupt alterations to our timelines, plans for moving and shifting our lives changed many times, and I ended up with whiplash from how often our situation seemed to teeter on a schedule change, so I went radio-silent while we attempted to do what seemed completely impossible: give up our lives and almost all our worldy possessions, and shift our existences halfway across the country.
10-12 hour days of just nonstop decision making, packing, throwing things out, and cleaning.
And we STILL didn't get it all done.
In the midst of all this, I had to cancel my trip to see TakodaVega for her birthday, and visiting Arch-Arts while I was there.
It also resulted in us having to rehome one of our dogs (he went to my father, so it wasn't a shock for him), and temporarily rehome our cat - which totally broke my heart. She's with one of my best friends, so it worked out, but I miss her dearly.
To say the least, this caused a whole lotta heartache and was an impossible decision, but had to be made for my family.
(Vega and I are FINE, just to put that out there. Just a lot going on for both of us, all at once.)
In the scramble to ready for the move, I had a LOT of road-bumps trying to get rid of furniture - from family backing our on helping to Habitat for Humanity literally cancelling a pick up the DAY OF, to overall just trying to GIVE SHIT AWAY.
We ended up giving a LOT of our belongings to both our neighbor and a friend of hers - who was starting all over after her husband had left her for a younger woman. So at least it all went to someone who NEEDED it, which is what I really wanted.
Anyway - we left our Oklahome last Monday and traveled to Texas so we could visit my mother and step-father before the move. We left some belongings with her, as well as our old neighbor back in OK, to have some things shipped to us that we just absolutely did not have the room to pack. We drove from OK to TX (roughly a 4.5 hour drive) with two suitcases and a storage tub STRAPPED TO THE TOP OF MY CAR.
That was harrowing.
In the last 45 minutes of that drive, my son decided to be completely sick all over himself and the car-seat and the car...
And let me tell you, a pregnant woman's nose is like a bloodhound.
It was NOT pleasant.
Anyway. Got to TX fine, spent two days with my family, and left TX for WA on Thursday. We stopped in NM after an 8-hour drive. Friday was supposed to be a 10-hour drive, but ended up being 12, due to A TWO HOUR STANDSTILL TRAFFIC on I-95 through Salt Lake City.
(Pretty sure I have PTSD from that, hah.)
Stopped in Twin Falls Idaho at the end of a VERY long day.
Left Saturday morning and drove the last 9h 45m to WA.
We made it safely, but VERY tired.
We're still getting things fixed. Hubs has his follow up interview tomorrow, and we're trying to get settled in.
Somewhere along the way, we lost my tablet's power cables ( -.- ), and obviously this adds a small delay to the already lagging work schedule - which I planned to resume work later this week - so as SOON as I get those replaced, I will be back to work.
We have a lot to adjust to, and we're now living on the THIRD FLOOR of an apartment building, with my MiL and her BF. It's not bad, I actually LIKE my MiL, but it IS an adjustment!
I'm sorry for my lack of communication the last month or so - it has been a huge struggle as I try to adjust my anxiety-ridden, pregnantly hormonal, heartachingly-disappointed-in-disappointing-my-best-friends-self to this HUGE leap in my life.
LOTS of change, all at once and it was/is a little overwhelming!
I hope you'll all forgive my very-human lapse in logical judgement about communicating. :(
Anyway, I will try to keep you guys more updated as things progress, and will try to be up and running for work again SOON!
TL;DR - We moved from OK to WA state. Shit's crazy. Life is hard. Oh, btw, I'm pregnant. Settling in, big adjustments. Tablet cables evaporated. Will work as soon as we get that handled!

Too Much
Posted 5 years agoTitle says it all.
I'm alive. I haven't forgotten your art.
I'm just dealing with a lot right now.
PM me if you have questions. Please don't bother my assistant - she has a lot going on herself and doesn't need to be dealing with dissatisfied customers.
I'll be resuming work in roughly 2-3 weeks.

Big News and Big Moves
Posted 5 years agoLife is crazy.
Well there is a LOT going on in my little world.
At the end of this month, I'll be flying to see 
TakodaVega and 
Archery to celebrate Vega's birthday.
Between Monday and then, I'll be working pretty nonstop, as much as my health allows.
After I get back from visiting her, I will be working as much as I can, but it will be interspersed with some heavy stuff.
Hubs and I are going to be moving from Oklahoma to Washington state. It's a huge move, with a lot of change, sacrifice, and preparation.
We will be giving up 90% of our belongings. We are also going to have to leave behind at least one of our dogs, and possibly our cat. These things break my heart, but it's kinder to Dizzy, the dog. He's elderly and just does not do well in cars. It would be torture to force him to go, and I have family that will take him in a love him. I really hope we don't have to give up the cat, but if push comes to shove - she will be going to a friend, who will love and take care of her, as well.
All we can take is what will fit in my 2016 Ford Fusion. That means we are selling one of our cars, our washer and dryer (that we just paid off at the beginning of the year *sigh*), couch, clothes, and a MAJOR chunk of our Funko Pop!s. These are things I don't necessarily want to do, but I want to be stuck in OK even less. This is a progressive move in our lives.
Not to mention that I will have access to better healthcare, as well as things that will be more beneficial for my health.
I'm terrified. I have never made a move like this.
I have never been that far away from my family - my actual side of the family.
We'll be living with my mother-in-law, in an apartment. It's going to be crowded.
Anyway. I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on in my life.
We'll be in WA by the end of August, and I will resume work as diligently as I can.
In the meantime, I'm going to work as hard as I can between all the crap I gotta do to prepare for this adventure.
There's also some other stuff going on, but I will just leave it at the fact that big changes are heading my way.
To everyone to has been and continues to be impossibly patient, bless you. I appreciate it endlessly.
As always- you can check my Trello board for information on my work queue, or contact me or TakodaVega for information.
And to be clear - YOU CAN CONTACT ME DIRECTLY if you do not wish to to relay through my assistant. She is here to help me, but it is by no means a strict rule that you have to deal with her to talk to me.
I think that about sums it all up for now.
.................
I am NOT taking on large commissions, and will not be doing so, for the foreseeable future.
I will only do small weekly sales like icons/Furcadia portraits to help fund my medications and the like.
Sending good vibes and warm wishes to all.
May your days be easier than mine have been; and may you laugh and smile much.

Posted 5 years agoJournal and Updates
Posted 5 years agoI can't say I'm totally stable, because my health really does do a regular number on me. But I wanted to drop a quick journal to do a few updates for those wondering why they haven't seen much from me lately.
Commissions are closed; queue is still standing.
I'm working, slowly, but diligently as I can with my body hating me.
If you have an outstanding commission from me and are wondering about an update, you can either check my trello board (link above), Note me, or talk to TakodaVega - my assistant.
Please be aware that I am NOT issuing refunds. You WILL get your art, I just beg of you to continue to have standing patience with me as I fight against the lot I was given, both physically and mentally. Every day is a battle.
Otherwise, I'd like to formally announce that I departed from the dear ScribbleQuirk Studios a couple months ago. All is/was amicable, no bad blood. I just decided that it was best for me and my state of mind, as well as health, to let those amazing ladies go on without the heavy weight of me bogging them down. I still love LyssArts and Naikios dearly, and want everyone to continue supporting these incredible women as they make beautiful art!

Limited Time Emotion Slots
Posted 6 years agoONE SLOT LEFT.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I'll likely be fairly absent for the majority of March. March is not going to be an easy month for me, as it marks the first anniversary of losing Zippo - which many of you who have known me for a year or more will understand what this means.
While I am painfully aware I have an outstanding queue, this next month is really going to be a month where, honestly, I will need a place to pour my emotions. As such, I want to offer some tiered vent-art slots.
These slots are completely UP TO ME on pose, scene, etc. You will just give me a character and let me use them as an avenue for my broken heart to bleed.
TOP TIER: $200
https://www.deviantart.com/zorkia/a.....cene-785164760
MIDDLE TIER: $100
https://www.deviantart.com/zorkia/a.....-Zol-741830090
LOW TIER: $65
https://www.deviantart.com/zorkia/a.....haos-741830220
I have three slots for these, and each will be pricey, because I will be putting a lot of effort into them.
1. CLAIMED
2. CLAIMED

Not only would you be helping my emotional state out by giving me a pointed direction in which to funnel my grief, but you'll be helping me financially.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I'll likely be fairly absent for the majority of March. March is not going to be an easy month for me, as it marks the first anniversary of losing Zippo - which many of you who have known me for a year or more will understand what this means.
While I am painfully aware I have an outstanding queue, this next month is really going to be a month where, honestly, I will need a place to pour my emotions. As such, I want to offer some tiered vent-art slots.
These slots are completely UP TO ME on pose, scene, etc. You will just give me a character and let me use them as an avenue for my broken heart to bleed.
TOP TIER: $200

MIDDLE TIER: $100

LOW TIER: $65

I have three slots for these, and each will be pricey, because I will be putting a lot of effort into them.

Posted 6 years agoA Long Overdue Update
Posted 6 years agoHey everyone.
This journal is likely to be emotional, and a bit personal. If you hang in there with me, thank you.I want to preface this by apologize for the long period of time between my updates. As many of you who follow me or have commissioned me are aware, I've been incredibly spotty the last couple of months. The year of 2018 has not been incredibly kind to me, and it has culminated in what has been a very, very life-changing sort of series of events.
Over the last three months, I've seen a desperate decline in my health. Both mentally and physically, I have been struggling pretty badly. I've always struggled with anxiety and depression, (surprise, surprise, it seems to be the requirement for artists), and I had a really, really low swing last month. It resulted in my actually thinking I didn't even deserve to be part of this community, and that all my work was rubbish, that I was trash and that none of the hard work or that any of my accomplishments were worth a single damn. I found myself crying often and feeling completely listless, museless, and useless. It is one of the worst periods in my life that I've ever felt about myself and my passion for art, and I have struggle deeply to work through it. Unfortunately, during it, my physical health seemed to deteriorate even more than it was already doing.
At 26 years old, it's hard to believe that I struggle as much physically as I do. I've been told for years, by countless doctors, that I'm too young to feel that pain that I do, and there's no reason that I should be in the condition that I am. Namely, I have complete body pain in my joints, I'm stiff and achy, and basically have the joints of someone at least twice my age. Unfortunately, because I am so young, I have often been brushed off by doctors and have basically lived my life on a diet of Tylenol and chronic fatigue. On top of the joint pain, I have a condition that affects my reproductive parts that also puts me in immense pain more often than not, which only adds to my daily discomfort, and I have chronic headaches that I end up getting almost daily. But with the joint pain, I experience chronic inflammation, stiffness, aching, swelling, and general lack of ability to use my wrists and fingers regularly, which, as an artist, is obviously not conducive to any sort of productivity. Over the last few weeks, this pain in my wrists and fingers (especially my drawing hand), has gotten so bad that I haven't been able to really do any sort of daily activities. Even typing hurts.
Anyway, on Monday, I finally had a doctor's appointment that had been scheduled for over a month. This doctor, bless his heart and soul, actually listened to me, and took me seriously. And although he parroted the idea that I should be too young, he wanted to go ahead and run some tests to see if I came up for any indicating factors for autoimmune diseases.
Lo' and behold, my blood tests came back positive. Yesterday afternoon, I was officially diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. While this is not a fun diagnosis, I've been very glad just to put a name to my discomfort. But I had another appointment in the afternoon, and saw Dr. Flournouy again, because during the last two days, I began experiencing debilitating dizziness and vertigo, as well as a heart arrhythmia that is causing me breathlessness. During this appointment, Dr. Flournouy informed me that my blood tests also show that I have antibody markers that indicate that I am also suffering from another autoimmune disease: either Lupus or Sjögren's Syndrome. I am being referred to a rheumatologist so that they can run further tests to determine which of the two I am suffering from, in conjunction with RA.
Now, for those of you wondering, who have never heard of these diseases, or never had reason to look into them:- RA is basically an autoimmune disease that causes my body to attack the joints, eroding at the cartilage and bone and eventually destroying the entire joint by stretching the ligaments and tendons. It does affect other parts of the body as well, but that's the bare bones of the disease.
- Lupus is a systemic autoimmune disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs.
- Sjögren's is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects the entire body. Along with symptoms of extensive dryness, other serious complications include profound fatigue, chronic pain, major organ involvement, neuropathies and lymphomas.
Basically, my body is attacking itself from the inside. Whichever of the two (Lupus or Sjögren's) that I am suffering alongside RA, a diagnoses will help me get into treatments to start working towards a betterment of life, a longevity of my failing body.
Today, I am being sent for chest x-rays, and labs to determine how badly the RA has progressed. I have, for the time being, been put on a very strong steroid to help with the inflammation running rampant throughout my body, and the doctor is hoping that this will manage my pain until I can begin a long-term treatment.
While none of these answers are particularly happy ones, and I am facing the fact that I will, eventually, have to give up the thing I love due to RA and the inability to even hold a pen, I am so relieved that I am beginning to get answers. When you spend your life being told that there is no reason for your pain, or having the things you're feeling shrugged off as if you're making them up, you can't help but begin to feel that, maybe, just maybe, you are crazy. I started to worry, internally, if maybe I just had Munchausen. And let me tell you, as someone who has struggle with ailments and mental health their whole life, that has not been a fun thing to consider for oneself. I'm so relieved to know that's not the case. And I cried when the doctor told me that these things are real, that there's a reason for them, and that these diagnosis are likely the very cause of all the pain I've had for years.
I can't really give anyone any definitive answers on anything right now. I know there are a lot of you waiting on art from me, and I'm so sorry. I promise, promise, promise, I have not fallen off the face of the planet. My world has sort of been turned upside down, and I'm trying to come to terms with it. I begin seeing a counselor at the end of this month to help me begin working through the myriad of emotions that I have, pertaining to both these whirlwind diagnosis and the mental funk I've struggled with most my life. I promise, I am doing everything in my power to get myself right so that I can get back to being the happy, healthy fox you guys have come to know and (hopefully) love.
I'm sorry I don't have more answers right now, but I will do my best to keep you all more updated as I get results from my doctors, as I work and strive towards treatments, and as I get myself into a happier, healthier, more tolerable every-day life.
As Always, With All My Love,
Pyper // Zorkia
Emergency Collab Commissions
Posted 7 years agoI've put a TL;DR at the bottom, so you can skip straight to the art information!
Okay. So. I have struggled with posting this journal to begin with, because I am always terrified of being *that artist* that is constantly complaining or asking for help. But.. it's become apparent that my pride and anxiety are now getting in the way of being productive and managing to be able to take care of things I need to take care of.
All the small pieces I've managed to sell over the last week have gone towards bills or medication. But we're still pretty behind. With weather fluctuating like it has where I am, our electric bill and gas bill have doubled, and our water bill shot up because we had a pipe burst under the house, and was spewing water for a couple hours before we discovered it. Needless to say, all these combined factors, coupled with the fact that I had been closed for commissions for a month, have left us scrabbling to make ends meet, and we're not managing to quite make that happen.
On top of all of that, I have some pretty severe health issues, and it's been impeding on a lot of aspects of my life.
And now my kiddo is also sick.
I'm not going to get into too much more detail on the health front, because some of it is very personal and I know people don't much care for all the hullaballoo. If you're interested in knowing more, feel free to DM me.
So, here I am. Swallowing my pride again and asking for help. Which Naikios has so amazingly offered to help me with.
Naikios and I are opening up for TWO COUPLE'S COLLAB PIECES, with a VERY RARE option to make it (tasteful) smut.
Just in time for Valentine's Day!
They will be entirely collaborative pieces, and will be coming with:
- Transparent Version for RpR display;
- Full illustration version, with a background;
- TWO port crops - one of each character!
These will start with a base price of $100 for regular fullbody pieces, or $150 for smut.
Base price includes all the above things with the delivery of the finished piece.
Additional charges may apply for complex characters; (wings, etc.)
You will have the option to make it Valentine's Themed or not, totally up to you!
And if you really need it on or before Valentine's Day, we are offering an expedite option! For an additional $50, Naikios and I will slave away on your FULLY COLLABORATIVE COUPLE ART and have it done for you and your sweety by the Holiday!

ScribbleQuirk Studios (SQS) And Why You Want to Pledge:
ScribbleQuirk Studios is a collaborative effort between LyssArts , Naikios , and myself!!!
Patreon can be a tough thing to keep up with when you're a commissioned artist, and we know not everyone is into the idea.. SO.. We banded together so that people could support three artists at once! We hope that this will help us stay on top of our work, as well as bring fresh new collaborative pieces and fun to you each month!
Our Patreon helps to fund the massive stack of fees that come along with what we do... from our Picarto Subs, to Deviantart Core, Trello for all of our office spaces, Dropbox for space, Spotify for Naik's sanity and the Swagshop...
Not to mention, we like to support our community, and you can guarantee that some of our patreon funds go right back into core subscriptions, contests, and freebies for the community when we can afford it!
All of your support means the world to us, and we'd be SO honored if you'd consider pledging!SQS On-Spot Stream
Posted 7 years agoDue to the wedding season (as both Naikios and myself will be gone the weekend of the 1st), we'll be moving our October 1st Multi-stream to October 4th, when we'll be announcing Patreon raffle-winners and next month's theme, as well as releasing tier rewards!
Today (September 21st), we'll be doing an SQS multi-stream, starting between 9 and 10 am CST. It'll be a first come first serve type situation, more than likely focusing around chibis, with priority for Patrons. Patrons over on the SQS Patreon were given access to a poll to see what else might be included in today's multi-stream, so if you're looking for on-spot art, head on over and join us!

Posted 7 years agoHey Lovelies!

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8404156/

This morning, as I sat down to start work on the SQS October Patreon Coloring Page reward, my tablet decided it hates me. Now, I LOVE this tablet. It was a generous gift bestowed to me by someone who is no longer alive, and it means very much to me.
Despite that, I have noticed in the last two years, since really focusing on my art as my career, that it lacks some things that I've really been needing -
And let everyone know that projected delivery day for my new, replacement tablet is Tuesday!
SO DEPENDING ON WHAT TIME IT GETS HERE, I WILL BE ARTING SOOOOOON!
I'm suuuuuuper stoked, because my husband spoiled me rotten and allowed me to finance on a tablet I never even dreamed of owning, and I'm pretty much not sleeping for the excitement. e.e;
ANYWAY, the bundle slot is STILL OPEN to help me start paying for this badmammajamma piece of equipment that's going to be taking over my life. Lol!
SO BE PREPARED FOR THE ARTS, MY FRIENDS. IT IS COMING. LIKE WINTER, BUT MORE COLORFUL AND LESS DAUNTING.
For $125, you will receive:
:bulletred: 2x Fullbody shaded
:bulletyellow: 1x Bust shaded
:bulletblue: 1x CUSTOM POSED Chibben
This is a LIMITED TIME SALE. The full price for this bundle would be $145.
Payment is due upon claiming the bundle.

Posted 7 years agoLife really enjoys kicking my tuckus. x.X;
This morning, as I sat down to start work on the SQS October Patreon Coloring Page reward, my tablet decided it hates me. Now, I LOVE this tablet. It was a generous gift bestowed to me by someone who is no longer alive, and it means very much to me.
Despite that, I have noticed in the last two years, since really focusing on my art as my career, that it lacks some things that I've really been needing - such as a wide color gamut, or accurate brightness. So, I was already planning, and have been planning for the last year, to upgrade come the end of next year.
Unfortunately, my tablet had other ideas.
It's been acting finicky for the last year or so - randomly stopping working, and dropping any sort of recognition to the stylus. I've been fudging with it every time this happens, thinking it was a driver issue with Windows 10.
Alas. It isn't. I spent my entire morning trying to fix the issue AGAIN. 5 hours.
And I finally gave up and called Wacom Customer Service.
It seems that my poor, discontinued tablet has decided its sensor no longer likes sensing. Which means it won't register the styles *at all*. Translation - It's basically just a low-resolution, tiny extra display right now.
So... my plan to upgrade my tablet has been rather forcefully timetabled up by a year.
Thankfully, Wacom has introduced the ability to finance some of their products, and this will allow me to make an upgrade at a somewhat affordable cost. On the downside, this means I'll be without a tablet for about a week (2, if I'm really unlucky, which seems to be a recurring theme in my life).
Anyway. If you've managed to read this entire journal, kudos to you! Have a cookie!
Just know that I won't be active until I get the new workmonster in, at which point I'll be ATTACKING art like a starved creature in need of all the colorfulprettythings.
IN THE MEAN TIME - I will be opening ONE BUNDLED SLOT to help get a first installment for my payments set up. Keep in mind it will not be started until after I finish the coloring page for Patreon, and the current bundle I have in-progress for Lazelai.

TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY, LOVELIES!
Tomorrow, midmorning, we'll finally be launching the much-anticipated SQS Patreon!!

To help with the take off of our brainchild, LyssArts, Naikios, and myself will be holding a VERY special Multistream!

Posted 7 years agoTerribly sorry for those of you who have been watching me for a while, with the lack of submissions, and then a sudden bombardment of them!
I've been neglecting my FA page, simple because it hasn't seemed to garner the same sort of reactions/activity that dA does. But I plan to start keeping up with it again, since my partnered Patreon with Naikios and LyssArts is set to launch September 1st!
If you'd like to see the exciting things we're planning, head on over to our Discord Server: http://discord.gg/UccgBV
There, we will announce streams, collabs, projects, and the like! It is also where you can most easily interact with all three of us when we're available.
You can read more about it here: https://zorkia.deviantart.com/journ.....cord-699529155
We really hope to see you come in and join us, and help us make this exciting project a grand adventure!

Posted 7 years agoCommission Status:
CLOSED
Slooooowly but surely, I'm trudging my way through the owed list of art.
Tomorrow morning I will be working on said list from the time I de-zombify in the morning until 9a CST, at which point I will switch over to a Chibben Stream Day.
I will be offering 2-3 slots for Chibbens IN STREAM ONLY.
I am also in the process of polishing a new Terms of Service sheet, as well as deciding on a strict work schedule. This will be to not only help me, but also customers, in knowing what to expect from me, in terms of agreements and days I will be working.
Because my current queue is a mish-mash of works that are all overdue, I will be working on them as I am inspired to, so please DO NOT jump on me for working out-of-order of the queue list. This will help keep me motivated and moving through pieces at a faster pace.
Aside from chibbens, I will not be opening commissions again until I have emptied the current queue. The Chibbens will ONLY be offered in-stream, and will be finished THAT day. They will be used to supplement my income as I remain closed to work on more time-and-labor-intensive pieces.
