It's been 5 years since I posted anything here, but I'm gonna try to change that.

I apologize to anyone I've left hanging or lost contact with. My life has been a whirlwind lately, especially in the last couple years or so. In that time I have gone through a separation (and subsequent divorce) from someone I was with for 10 years of my life, which sent me into a very deep depression for a while. I basically moved out of my house, became a bit of a drifter for a while. Then as I was starting to put my life back together, I met  Codash, which was the best thing to ever happen to me :). We started dating and I moved in with him and his roomates. Eventually we moved out on our own after doing some house reno. But the night we were moving the final stuff, I got into an accident and my car was totaled. We finally got that sorted. Stumbled through some financial and medical stresses till he got a new job, which all leads to now.

We are now engaged and expecting a baby boy in about 3 & 1/2 months time!!! XD

Needless to say, all of this rollercoastering of life events has all but killed my desire to draw, and currently being unmedicated for my ADD due to the pregnancy leaves me little focus, which hasn't helped either. But, as of late, One thing got me drawing for a bit, just a little, each day.

It's called Sketchbet. There was a big official one online at one point, but this is one done by my circle of friends currently. The goal is, for 90 days you have to draw for at least 15 minutes, something NEW each day. on certain days of the week there are challenge days, Like filling a prompt, drawing something outside your comfort zone, or even doing group wide art trades with other participants. I did one 90 day round so far, and I'm currently attempting a second. After the baby is born I may have little time for art again, but I'm trying to stay in shape for now.

So for at least the next couple months, I'm gonna try to stay active and post stuff here. It's a step towards coming back into this, even if its slow going. ^_^

AC '09 starts tonight! Are you going? I am! I'll be a dealer again with  kyote

I'll do this to make it easier:
Where are you staying?
The Westin!

What day are you getting there?
I live in Pittsburgh, so I'm always here! But we'll be there at the latest bright and early Friday morning.

Who will you be hanging with?
 red-dog kyote meglyman are my roomies!


Do you do free art?
Don't think I'll have time as such, would love to, but I have to pay for the con first.

Do you do trades?
YES PLEASE!

Do you do commissions?
Yes, oh yes. F18. our table. come help me pay off going to AC!

Do you have prints / CDs ?
unfortunately, no. Between my computer dying and directing the publications department of Pittsburgh's own anime con, I just haven't had the time.

Do you do badges?
YES! I looooove making badges!

Will you have Art in the Art Show?
Not this time..

What is your gender?
Female

How old are you?
25

Can I talk to you?
Yes, but you may have to start the conversation. I can carry one on, but I'm bad at starting them. I likely won't get offended or weird out by anything you could say to me unless its super creepy TOWARDS me. I'm really hard to offend. Trust me, I'm really outgoing!

Can I touch you?
Hugs are cool, I love hugs! But I'm married, so no more than that really.

Can I hang out with you?
If I'm in the zoo, feel free! Otherwise, just ask what I'm doing and if it doesn't include sleeping or drawing, I'm probably free to chill.

How can I find you?
F18. I will have bright orange fox ears and tail (which is huge like Xbox, seriously, drags on the floor) if you are looking for me in the Zoo or around the con! Will also have badges with my name on them.

Hope to see you there!

This was my first furry con... I LOVED IT! I stayed with  kyote  tamen  raff  sagira and  sketch_samurai . I was Kyote's assistant at her dealers table, Kyote Illustrations. I got my first furry commissions there too. And I really enjoyed doing them. I maybe shouldn't have taken on as many as I did, since I didn't get a chance to enjoy the rest of the con (except for the raves Thursday and Friday nights) as I spend nearly every hour of the con either behind the dealers table or in the zoo. Not that I'm disappointed, because I had a blast, and met a lot of great new people, and brushed up on my marker skills.

I also got to get a good inside look at the David L. convention center, as I will be staffing the Pittsburgh based anime convention, Tekkoshocon, there next April. After several years, we are finally gonna at the David L. And it was a good representation of what to expect, since Tekko is the same size as Anthrocon (attendance wise).

I met so many great people, who I hope to keep in touch with. Even though I've been to several anime cons, for as many thing that were exactly the same, there just as many that were totally different and new. I cant wait to go back next year!

I shall post up several of the badges I did later on tonight! This was so much fun!

Hey all! sorry I haven't updated here in awhile, I haven't drawn anything new lately since I've been busy with sewing lately for Ohayocon in January, so that takes priority. However, this year I WILL be attending AnthroCon.

I will be in the Dealers den, assisting the lovely  kyote at her table. Since I will be an assistant, I legally won't be allowed to sell my own art, which is OK, because between other cons and the fact that my wedding will be a couple weeks after AC this summer, I just wont have the time to build a large porfolio and prints of sale-worthy art this year. However, since no exchange of money would take place (which is where the legal bind is), I WILL be doing trades if anyone is willing to trade with me ^_~. Im still gonna bring the few things I do have as simply sample work and will probably be drawing at the table, and I will probably have commission information on hand for commissions to be taken outside the dealers room or after the con, since none of those things are against the rules. ^_~

Mostly I just hope to meet new people and get some trades, it will be a good networking opportunity.

If nothing else I'll be wearing fox ears and tail. I KNOW I wouldn't get a full suit done (nor would I want to sit at the table in it) and though I plan to get the paws and feet done, I don't know if I'll finish a full head in time for a halfsuit either, so I'll probably just do the ears.

I can't wait till June! This is gonna be some much fun and I can't wait to see who I meet! Hope to see ya there!

ONE THING YOU REGRET
Not waiting when I was with my ex...

Ok Ive had a couple people tell me that the subbmissions in my gallery don't show up. this started back in may. I have 5 pictures up right now, and my stats say I only have one, and that one that is says only showed up after my latest submission. I was wondering how many of you cant see my submissions? and If anyone knows how to fix this? Just Curious

On another note, I sadly couldn't make it to AC this year.  Kyote asked me to come with her back in the spring, and I was trying to make it happen, but scheduling at work and funds didn't allow me to make it. There were a couple of you asking if i was going and many more of you I wanted to meet. But I promised Kyote I would go with her next year, and I can't wait!

Im gonna be updating more regularly here, I got in a drawing rut for a bit but Im better now. Between that and my kitty comic shorts Im working on, I'll probably be uploading frequently!

Thats about it for now. <3

Hey hey. I guess I'm the new fox on the block here ^_^. I came here at the request of the lovely Kyote  kyote, and already many of you have made me feel so welcomed! There are many people here that i watched on DA as well, so I'm happy to see some familiar faces!

Now this has been my first serious venture into drawing furries, and my first time in a fur community, so bare with me if I'm a little lost on some of the terms, lingo, and traditions at first, I'll get it eventually. At least I studied my animals intensely growing up, so I'm not lost there ^_~.

My style may fluctuate as well, since like I said, this is my first time drawing furries, and I've not been using reference, just my knowlage of human and animal anatomy, my style may change drasticly over the next couple months ^_^

Anyway, I'm usuallly cheerful and very easy to get along with. I like most people almost instantly, and continue to untill the give me a reason not to. So I'd like to make some friends here and would love to be part of the community I you'll have me!

Now tho get my love to join... ^_~
