I'm on vacation (Wildwood, NJ) but decided to pop my head back in to say hello. So, hello! How goes it? For me, it goes pretty damn swell, thanks for asking.

Here's some more info:

One! I've finally decided to put the mature content filter on. I finally realized that, even if the art as a whole is good, the vast majority of mature/adult artwork on this site disturbs me. So, if there's something you really, really want me to see but it's mature/adult, message me somewhere and let me know what makes it mature/adult. If I think it's okay to share, then send it to me. If I don't, respect that.

Two! Though I'm away from my home computer right now, I do plan to post s'more work here, not too many drawings though, more writing and music than anything else. (I haven't been practicing drawing recently, and I'd like to get back into the swing of things prior to posting awkward-looking mindlessness.)

Three! I'm thinking about commissions again. I don't know if anyone would be interested, so I'm more or less shooting the idea out there as opposed to saying, "Hey, I'm taking commissions!" It's more of a "Hey, I'm considering commissions!" really.

That sounds like all I wanted to say. Yup.

Peace.

I can make the background more complex and add text if you want.
Heads/busts only for now because I'm still working on my bodies. I wanna get used to drawing other people's characters, too. Dunno, I think it'd be good practice.

As stated in the second example's description, just the lines (not the sketch, the digitally inked lines) are free upon request, but I'll only take so many at a time. Colored pieces are for trades only (unless I know you well enough and I want to surprise you, in which case, it'll usually be a freebie.) Again, I'll only take so many of these at a time.

Lineart Requests

1)  KotoImanizuki — Rain
2) OPEN
3) OPEN

Colored Trades/Freebies
1) Aeroza — Reine [freebie]
2)  sauvage — Character Pending
3) OPEN

I Googled for websties specifically for furry writers and found this place. I figured it'd be cool to make an account, so I did. I'll still post my furry writing here, but I just wanted to make it known that I also have an account there.

Has any else heard of FR? If so, are you a member? If sooo, do you like it there? I'm just curious.

Sweet Jesus Lord, that was random. It would take away the necessity for the awkward "Hey I'm a furryish person" conversation out of the equation though. Plus I've become much more partial to online relationships compared to "IRL" ones, maybe because my online relationships have ended up (and ended) better than any IRL relationship I've ever had.

So the point of that was to update my journal. I's been doodling more... and writing, kinda-sorta-ish, so expect wicked updates soon.

My family is in a financial bind. My grandfather passed away February 10, 2010 (His birthday was March 14), and my grandmother is very physically ill. She's so bad that my mother suggested that she and I move from the second floor, her to the first floor, and I'll move into the apartment in the basement. We need money for plenty of things, including taking care of my abuelita, and we don't have very much of it to go around.

I want to help as much as possible, so I've decided to take commissions.

Now, these aren't your stereotypical visual art commissions. I'm not confident enough in my ability to draw to take those. Instead, I'm going to take literature and music commissions.

If you're interested, here's some information.

I figured I'd attempt to post my writing on deviantART one last time. Read if you want, don't if you don't.

If you're a girl (or appreciate them enough), check out  projectgirllove.  pensive, an old friend of mine, created the group, and I discovered it just now. I love the concept, plus she's right about females being underappreciated here on FA. It's a shame, really.

That and I wanted to get rid of that last depressing entry.

My grandpa died this morning.

I got accepted to the college I really want to go to! Ramapo, here I come!!
....
When the year is over.

So I turned eighteen on the fourteenth, got dumped on the fifteenth, and had a pretty sweet party on the sixteenth. Good times, friends. Good times.

So, as my latest submission suggests, I made up a race of monster today. They're called "Fluffmunchers" because they eat teddy bears (and other stuffed animals, but mostly teddy bears.) That would probably scar the lives of young children and adults alike because they eat them... rather violently. Otherwise, they're harmless. And adorkable. The one I have is my own character, Munchkins.

Just wanted to announce my birthday and my new race. And yes, you can make one, as long as I get credit.

Peace.

(Plus I missed the 25th.)

So 2010'll be here before we know it. Am I making any resolutions? Of course not, mostly because I've proven to myself that I can't keep them. (All those years or vowing to lose weight? Hah. Funny.) Art-wise, I have a few projects, including character (both human and animal) reference sheets, a long overdue trade with a friend on deviantART, and a tiger that my psychology teacher wants me to draw for her, that should be coming your way soon. I just have to improve upon my actually ability to draw first....

Take it easy today and tomorrow, friends.

I recently rediscovered Threadless, and I wanna submit a few designs. Expect me to post them here if, y'know, I come up with/actually draw out any of 'em. I was also wondering if anyone on here has submitted any designs and, if so, how it went.

So I made this roleplaying forum a couple of months ago specifically for furry roleplay, and I wanna try and bring it back to life... even though it was never really alive, hahah. Besides the rules and the welcome, there are no posts, and as of right now, I'm the only member, so if you want to join a fresh-out-of-the-oven furry roleplaying community, the link is below!

oOo, sparkly

Enjoy!

... that I suck for not being on here very often. If I ever do log on, all I do is check/clear my updates and that's that. I've been drawing a bit lately, though it isn't furry-related, but I figured I'd draw something just to submit on here again, so expect that awesomeness.

I'm also into Kanye West.

I know it's been forever since I posted, and for that, I want to apologize. I've been slowly but surely improving upon my artwork and plan to have some reference sheets and other drawing up eventually. I just wanted to let my (Incredibly small amount of) watchers that, yes, I'm here.

I was watching some Threadbanger videos on YouTube, and they inspired me to begin working on the Halloween costume idea I thought of about two hours ago. I wanna be...

... a zombie Beagle!!

Now, this isn't going to be a complete fursuit. This, instead, will consist of ears, a tail, handpaws and footpaws, both with claws, maybe something to help me walk all digitrade-like, clothes I don't mind ruining (Or I'll make them myself), a collar, maybe some of those cheap-ass vampire teeth I can get at Party City, and a lot of face paint. Oh, and a lot of red fabric paint, too.

Because of financial stuff, I'd either like to learn how to make all (Or most) of these things myself or get all (Or most) of what I need at a relatively cheap price. I'll make a more organized list later, but for now, I need a lot of the basic necessities for "fursuiting" (In quotes since this isn't really a fursuit) if I learn how to make all this myself or someone who can make me ears, a tail, and handpaws and footpaws with claws (And maybe digitrade legs) for a good price. As for a collar, I can get a simple one off of CollarFactory.Com should the need arise. If that ends up being too much, I'll figure something out.

So, yes. Questions? Comments? Concerns? Opinions, ideas, and recommendations are loved!!

I want to help as much as possible, so I've decided to take commissions.

Now, these aren't your stereotypical visual art commissions. I'm not confident enough in my ability to draw to take those. Instead, I'm going to take literature and music commissions.

If you're interested, here's some information. Samples will follow ASAP.

Literature

Before continuing, note that I am not going to write fanfiction based off of a fandom, even if what you want me to write includes all original characters. I will, however, write most anything involving your "original!original" characters. I will also include other people's "original!original" characters as long as you have permission to inquire about their character being included.

Non-Erotic Stories (General-to-Mature) — $0.50/word [Sample 1] [Sample 2]

Non-Erotic Stories are not sexual. They can, however include descriptions of nudity and implied sexual acts.

Erotic Stories (Adult) — $0.75/word [No samples yet]

Erotic Stories, as the name implies, fall under the erotica genre of writing. They are driven by sex, be it romantic or otherwise.

Music

I make a wide variety of music, from trance to dance to "emotronica" to trip hop to indie. I want to get into a mix of hard rock and techno but have yet to experiment with that. I also play bass, guitar, and saxophone. My musical inspirations are Daft Punk, Tiësto, Owl City, Alice Deejay, Imogen Heap, Frou Frou, The Postal Service, and a wide variety of video game music composers, especially Shoji Meguro and Yuki Kajiura. Lyrically, I feel my songs sound like tracks by Dave Matthews Band, Owl City, and Jason Mraz.

Instrumentals (in any of the styles listed above, or I can try something else if you'd like) — $10 [Emotronica]

Price stays the same regardless of length of track.

Lyrics (in addition to the backing track or acapella) — $5

I have a Boss Micro BR recording studio and a decent mic, so I can actually record myself singing the song and it'll actually sound just fine. Price stays the same regardless of length of track. I aldo figured that I'd remind everyone that I am a girl, so unless I can get one of my singer guy friends to cooperate with me, it'll be a female's contralto voice you'd be hearing in your track.

Forms

If you want me to write or compose something for you, fill out the following forms and PM it to me. As the first form's title implies, you must fill it out. Don't worry, it's rather basic. Also note that I have the right to say no to a commission if I feel uncomfortable writing/making a song about certain topics. For said topics, you'll have to ask about that.

Mandatory Form

Name: What I can refer to you as. This doesn't have to be your real name.
Contact Information: Email and IM accounts that I can reach you at in case I have a quick question regarding what you want me to create for you.

Literature Form

Title: If you want your piece to have a specific title, fill in this field with it. If not, say so here as well.
Characters: The names and a brief description of the character(s) you want the piece to be about. Links to visual references would be greatly appreciated but are not required.
Type: Non-Erotic or Erotic.
Content: What you want the story to be about and any elements you want me to include. Feel free to be as ambiguous or detailed with your description as possible, just note that the more details, the more I'll have to work with and the more "accurate" your story will ultimately be.

Music Form

Genre: What genre you want your song to fall under.
Feel: What emotion(s) you want the song to portray. (For example, certain songs sound happy and hopeful while others are sad and dark.)
Lyrics? If you want lyrics in your piece, say so and describe what you want the lyrical content to be like.
