Bad timing, but I'm on hiatus.
Posted 9 years agoDue to my personal life, I do not have the will to do commissions for Christmas, or for the foreseeable future.
If I want to draw for you, I will initiate the offer - but no more.
Sorry.

Sketchkat's Commission Price List:
Posted 10 years agoSince December I've been thinking about my prices and whether they're relevant or comparable with current artists...
This year's ConFuzzled was a much needed boost to my confidence and overall ability, and after much careful thought and consideration, I've decided to change my prices to better reflect my self-worth.
However - Art for me is a hobby, not a job.
Free time is precious to me as it is, so it's worth knowing that I'm trying to be that happy medium between being cheap, good and fast, just sometimes it doesn't end up that way;
This chart knows what I mean.
Hence why it's taken me so long to come to a decision on my prices, so I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you so much for your support. ^^

The end of an era... bring on new year
Posted 10 years agoI'm not sure how many people know this on FA, but here goes...
Last week I split up with Tiggie, my partner of 9 years.
We had been growing apart for the last 2 years (since moving out), and during the last couple of months I grew extremely depressed, I had no energy for self-motivation on getting out of bed, let alone artwork... it seemed I got very little sympathy from Tig (because he didn't love me anymore - which I didn't realize at the time).
I left the house with 15k worth of stuff, because it was generally all mine (aside from the computer I'm using at the moment, as it's Tig's but he let me have it because it works with the Cintiq - go figure).
Tiggie acknowledges he has done wrong - I don't expect anyone to understand, as I sometimes fail to understand, but that's all up to him now.
As long as he doesn't interfere with my life anymore, I'm allowing myself to let go.
We're still friends, and I hope he will respect my privacy.
I had been with him since I was 17 and I have learned more about myself during that time, just wish I could have seen it coming sooner...
However! that being said, there's a new horizon and I'm looking forward to the year ahead! ^^
There have been people waiting to talk to me, and I'm enjoying their friendship :3
I've never felt happier - knowing they're just a text/call away and I don't need to feel uncomfortable talking to them.
I will open commissions again ^^
Starting January 1st I will be officially open for general commissions (mostly Clean/PG) and pre-orders for ConFuzzled ("Alice in Wonderland" themed badges and room signs)
I'll include a journal at a future date for all the details.
I also have a couple of YCH auctions planned (if those are even a thing anymore? lol)
There is definitely a medieval-themed Tavern scene planned with many slots available (also featuring myself as the Landlady), and an XXX/fetish-themed YCH featuring one of my characters (this includes Sketchkat - this is the first time I've offered her in such a commission ["Please be gentle with me!"])
Overall I'll have a lot more time to improve myself as a person, and as an artist. :3
I'd like to thank everyone so far for their well wishes, and for your continued support in my time of need (and sometimes time of want, rather than need) xD
I love you all very much *^^*
Thank you so very much <3 <3 <3
Happy New Year! :D

Late CF report/review ... Haven't logged for a while
Posted 11 years agoAfter a much-needed break, Confuzzled was the best way to get me back into the swing of things furry-wise ^^
Although the con was a little lacking this year as far as events to attend, as always I managed to have a good time regardless :P
The theme this year was... um.. odd to say the least - didn't have the time or money to get an appropriate costume. Was expecting "Retro Sci-Fi", and found it to be more of a comic book-like theme - the props were ok, but they didn't work for me.
The standee of Brok saying "You need to be this tall to enter" was too tall xD (by a good 4 inches at least)
We did decide on bringing our dog for the first night, just so he could experience the atmosphere without being too overwhelmed. We did get the complaint that he was crying when we left the room, but we had no choice at that time, otherwise the high-pitched squeals of "awww!" in the lobby would have wound him up further. He slept soundly that night, curled up between us. The next day he was off on a holiday of his own, playing with other dogs, swimming in lakes, splashing in muddy puddles and generally having a whale of a time whilst we checked his progress via videos on Facebook :P - He was ready for sleep by the time we had to pick him up and go home. ;D
I found the staff to be friendly on face-to-face, but whilst backs were turned, they turned, and we caught some of them taking the mickey out of some room signs (which, to be fair, the art had been scribbled like a 10 year old [as in no effort in even colouring in] and there were swear words on it - not the kind of thing we want to present the fandom)
I went to 2 panels, the first was on "Inflatable Construction" - which wasn't exactly aimed at beginners, but it gave a good insight to the processes that go into designing and making inflatables. They also found a lot of history behind the first inflatables, made of animal guts/leather, that was kinda cool.
The second panel was on "Fursuit Animatronics" - which was definitely aimed at beginners, as the designs dealt with LEDs, and moving ears. He showed us the heads for Faruku's 'Khajiit', and a fursuit called 'LDV' (so named because the ears flashed, mimicking the indicators of an LDV van). Nothing more complicated, but our friend Rico was listening very intently. Unfortunately I'm not technically inclined, so that's still a bit of mystery to me, but I like seeing what can be done to make suits more interesting/realistic.
The hotel was absolutely gorgeous, but too fractured, I got lost nearly every day ^^;
I liked that the Dance hall was next door to the Fursuit lounge, it was possible to hear through the wall on what songs were playing and whether it was worth getting up for a dance :P
I'm still not sure why the "Banner Brawl" was cancelled, but I did enjoy doodling on both banners regardless :P - drew Brok Badger on an Acme "Red Rocket", and a mugshot of myself next to Sofia/belo4ka (where are those banners by the way? that was after the art auction closed)
Many thanks to everyone who made Confuzzled special and hoping to see you at next year's CF!!
Theme has been released as "Alice in Wonderland" and I'm already looking forward to it ^^

The theme this year was... um.. odd to say the least - didn't have the time or money to get an appropriate costume. Was expecting "Retro Sci-Fi", and found it to be more of a comic book-like theme - the props were ok, but they didn't work for me.
The standee of Brok saying "You need to be this tall to enter" was too tall xD (by a good 4 inches at least)
We did decide on bringing our dog for the first night, just so he could experience the atmosphere without being too overwhelmed. We did get the complaint that he was crying when we left the room, but we had no choice at that time, otherwise the high-pitched squeals of "awww!" in the lobby would have wound him up further. He slept soundly that night, curled up between us. The next day he was off on a holiday of his own, playing with other dogs, swimming in lakes, splashing in muddy puddles and generally having a whale of a time whilst we checked his progress via videos on Facebook :P - He was ready for sleep by the time we had to pick him up and go home. ;D
I found the staff to be friendly on face-to-face, but whilst backs were turned, they turned, and we caught some of them taking the mickey out of some room signs (which, to be fair, the art had been scribbled like a 10 year old [as in no effort in even colouring in] and there were swear words on it - not the kind of thing we want to present the fandom)
I went to 2 panels, the first was on "Inflatable Construction" - which wasn't exactly aimed at beginners, but it gave a good insight to the processes that go into designing and making inflatables. They also found a lot of history behind the first inflatables, made of animal guts/leather, that was kinda cool.
The second panel was on "Fursuit Animatronics" - which was definitely aimed at beginners, as the designs dealt with LEDs, and moving ears. He showed us the heads for Faruku's 'Khajiit', and a fursuit called 'LDV' (so named because the ears flashed, mimicking the indicators of an LDV van). Nothing more complicated, but our friend Rico was listening very intently. Unfortunately I'm not technically inclined, so that's still a bit of mystery to me, but I like seeing what can be done to make suits more interesting/realistic.
The hotel was absolutely gorgeous, but too fractured, I got lost nearly every day ^^;
I liked that the Dance hall was next door to the Fursuit lounge, it was possible to hear through the wall on what songs were playing and whether it was worth getting up for a dance :P
I'm still not sure why the "Banner Brawl" was cancelled, but I did enjoy doodling on both banners regardless :P - drew Brok Badger on an Acme "Red Rocket", and a mugshot of myself next to Sofia/belo4ka (where are those banners by the way? that was after the art auction closed)
Many thanks to everyone who made Confuzzled special and hoping to see you at next year's CF!!

Paid for Confuzzled, but Dealer's Den?
Posted 12 years agoAs the title says, I'm all paid up and going to Confuzzled next year - number 183 :3
It hurts to have to say this...
but as I still owe commissions, it's believed to be in everyone's best interests if I didn't have a Dealer's Den table.
It's one of the things I enjoy most though, as I like meeting everyone in person, where they know where I'll be and there's no confusion... and most other dealers are fun to just hang out with.
(Before anyone asks, I did originally ask for a table, then Tig decided to cancel it without consulting me... so it's out of my hands as far as that's concerned, but on thinking about it, it would be a little selfish of me)
I can't take Ace, our Border Collie, as planned either - since the hotel advises that dogs should only stay in the room, and I find that to be cruel for such an active dog.
but at least it's become more likely to go to Eurofurence next year too as a compromise. :3

Furs appreciate? Nope.jpg
Posted 12 years agoPeople waiting for badges from Confuzzled are still being worked on between puppy, job and home life. No worries there, just there's a reason why all my commissions are closed.
In the spare time I do manage to get to myself, mostly spent on games or Second Life, there are still hecklers around :/
One of them (who hasn't spoken to me, or noted me in at least 5 years) decides to cause a fuss on SL about how I haven't drawn them their badge from 5 years ago... I don't even remember their name, I try and be polite but I'm just so pent up with anger about it. I explain I don't remember the name/fursona as it was too long ago.
If their badge was that important, why'd they leave it all this time?
They haven't even messaged me since (I've not changed any accounts)
I've never said I was a business. Drawing for me is a hobby and I have a life outside this fandom whether some choose to believe it or not.
Appreciation? Nope.
..... On a similar note, money doesn't fall off trees - so when a friend practically GIVES YOU their fursuit as a gift of good will (on the understanding that it's borrowed and will have to be given back); Would you cut holes in it and fuck around?? Literally??
Apparently our so-called "Best friend" took us as fools. He used and abused our friendship, and soiled shared property.
We've known him for 7 years, we had a lovely time together for a lot of the time, was even thinking of making them best man at our wedding... All gone to waste.
Appreciation?? Where is it? Certainly not in this fandom.
I've had enough.

Confuzzled Pre-Orders and updates
Posted 12 years agoHear Ye! Hear Ye!~
A formal announcement of my wares for the Dealer's Den
I'll be opening pre-orders for 2 kinds of traditional badges:
~ Classic Badges ~
Bust shots, Inked and coloured with Copic markers
= £5 (£6 with lamination & lanyard)
and
~ Sketch Badges ~
Bust shots, sketch only
= £3 (£4 with lamination & lanyard)
We'll offer a lamination service too :3
I'll also have some other items, such as:
~ Plushies and Toys ~
Sadly, due to moving house I have a surplus of plushes that are in need of a loving home
This includes a giant beanbag doughnut we acquired from Alton Towers (would make a lovely fursuit prop/photo opportunity) - we can't bring this to CF, but we're willing to post it at your cost - Nope, this was given away before any pictures were taken.
We'll also have some MLP:FiM blind bags (Wave 3)
and sets of mini war-game figures (Warhammer, Warhammer 40k & Lord of the Rings)
~ T-shirts ~
First come, first served (Limited quantities) - they're also taking up space in our house
We also have a limited quantity of prints available, however we'll not be taking them with us unless specifically requested - a pre-order if you like
We're looking forward to Confuzzled and all the merry times :P

Bundling up my LARP gear to try and have a complete costume, and I have a few ideas on decorations and whatnot ^^

Moving Out! Expect delays
Posted 12 years agoTiggie and I are moving home - we're super excited ^^
As I've announced in a previous journal; move-in day is the 9th March (Saturday)
It's likely my drawing station [workspace or cintiq tablet] won't be fully operational for up to 1-2 weeks afterwards (during unpacking and re-organising)
For future reference, I no longer accept commissions by Note
I will go through enquiries via email at:
commission.sketchkat[at]gmail.com
Though if you send an enquiry during our move-in, you will experience a delay
Thankyou~ :3
I will announce a journal at a later date to officially open commissions again ^^

Free Kigurumi Pajama Raffle by SweetSushi
Posted 12 years agoThis has been running for quite some time now, and now I can pluck up the courage to ask for a sweet custom kigu *^^*
If her Phanpy kigu is anything to go by, well we're in safe hands (paws? stompie-feet? xD)
Man, I'd love my fursona made, but she's so complex in detail @_@ - might have to decide on a Jolteon kigu instead

Here's the link ^^ Thanks for looking!

Move on up and out! (Commissioners also look please!)
Posted 12 years ago
It's a 1-bedroom ground flat, and we move in about a month's time.
I apologise for the lack of uploaded work, our scanner has been packed away for a while, and since the Cintiq is also wrapped up I can't do digital pieces for the moment either.
I am still drawing, just I'll have to scan them later or take a pic via iPhone.
Meanwhile I also need to find out how many people are actually waiting for a commission, my notes are pretty messed up >8(
(I will implement an email system so this doesn't happen again)
So far I have:
- JMW / Nero (new) [mature anthro coloured trad/digi sketch]
- Skarpen (new) [clean group pic coloured]
- Shoka Lioness [anthro digi sketch]
- Seadog686 (new) [anthro coloured trad sketch]
- Artemis (the Dalma-husky) [-waiting- L$s payment?]
- JohnnyVulpine / Chakat Starpelt [taur coloured trad adult sketch]
- Whitedragun7 ???
- Zelnyair ???
- Mathewwyatt ???
- Darkstud88 ???
- ToxicTea ???
- Anthrax-fur ???
- Redic-nomad ???
- Stirewaltt ???
- Goldblaze ???
- Kodybluewind ???
Here is my pricelist, just in case anyone has forgotten (Please refrain from asking about quotes there): http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3134477/
The ones with question marks have been on my list for months, if you've been wrongly added/removed from the list, please say so in this journal!
NO MORE NOTES!
-Scratch that-
Posted 12 years agoHard times call for desperate measures...
Going to try and sell my Wacom Cintiq 21UX - It was a 21st birthday present to myself, and so has been lightly used but it's been treated with utmost respect and care (Using a cover when not in use, using a SmudgeGuard glove whilst in use and no food or drink allowed around it)
Stats:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzZKTFwIXoE
Width 56.1 cm
Depth 42.1 cm
Height 4.8 cm
Weight 8.7 kg (Not advisable for lap use, this thing is a beast)
Comes with Wireless tablet pen & holder, and the SmudgeGuard glove (Size small)
The reason I have to sell it is because Tiggie and I need a new home closer to where we work, and we haven't got many assets/savings other than what's locked up in our belongings :(
If I should succeed to sell it, the biggest drawback will be not being able to do digital commissions... but at least we'll have a home <:3
I'm open to offers, but my reserve price is £1100 (I originally paid £2200 and it's like new)
(eBuyer sells these at £1700 new for reference)
UK buyers only. (Unless you really want to pay S&H which will be ridiculous because of the size and weight)
Scratch that, it's priceless to me - I'll find another way to move out
Thankyou for looking anyway.

10 Sketch Slots £10 each - Life News
Posted 13 years agoTo my watchers and possible future commissioners
Due to recent events, and events yet to come, I will be doing my best to offer slots of mostly traditional and some digital commission work.
It seems we have to move from where we are currently staying (referring to Tig and I), and we will be struggling to find a deposit. So I’ll be opening for 10 slots at a time for traditional A5 sketches of up to 2 characters for a price of £10/$15USD.
PG-XXX are welcome. I don't like Rape, Scat, Adult Baby/XXX cubs, anything else is fair game.
You may write a comment in this journal, or note me. Estimated work time will be around 2-3 weeks (I still have a day job to go to). I will post these out (Free P&P for UK residents) and for US/Outside UK I will have to charge postage costs (should be fairly cheap). I would require full payment up front through Paypal.
I cannot offer refunds due to the nature of these commissions. I cannot offer digital pictures at this time, but will open after these are out of the way.
Thankyou for all the support and nice comments, you, my watchers, have given me. Please wish me luck in my new phase of life. :3
EDIT: Digital Commissions are now available!
[EDIT2: Going to Dealer's Den at Eurofurence! Expect a slight delay]
1. Namugriff
2. Blueberry
3. DawnsEclipse
4. redic-nomad
5. anthrax-fur
6. sunily (2 spots)
7. toxictea
8. darkstud88
9. johnnyvulpine
10. sindragon
Next batch:
