Doing this stupid event...but the prize is bunnies!

I think I'm gonna quest for the Kitsune Mask. Just passively. But for some reason I have always wanted that mask...YES even before I became unhealthily obsessed with Naruto. It just...appeals to me eek And I am not selling my AFK or OMG to pay for it either. I'm definitely going to save up for it on my own. Only about 710,000g left to go sweatdrop

I dunno if I should take any more commission requests xd Well, I've been getting a lot recently due to winning that contest, but I am SOOOO SLOW that I dunno if I should accept them. I hate having people wait for me and I hate having the thought of something I have to do hanging over my head. I think I might just be kind of selective with what I pick. This isn't to say that I don't want to draw everyone's requests, because I do. On one hand I accept them because it's always good practice, but on the other I'm a really bad procrastinator. So I've been trying to advertise the fact I do commissions less and less. I am excitedly awaiting the day when my list is done xd ...So I can go out and get more commissions? I dunno...

...WAY too many sick ******** in the world. Lots of them hang out in the General Discussion forum rofl Oh man, I read a thread in there about some chick who is into Zoophilia. It was like watching a horrible accident. There's bodies flying everywhere and blood and shards of glass and all you want to do is look away, but you CAN'T because it's fascinating in a disgusting and horrible way. Yeah, that's what it was like.

Plus I just finished watching an ep of "Most Evil". Today they actually profiled the most evil serial killers xd It creeps me out how these people are like, average looking and seem normal to society. How do you know who is capable of what? What sorts of secrets do they have when they go back home at night? Are they watching you? Are you a target? People think I am the crazy one for not wanting to go out in the world and meet new people. Well, can you BLAME me?!

Argh people don't like the Hammi hat because it's "hard to match" and "isn't a good investment". WTF scream Those are dumb reasons to not buy something on Gaia...because Gaia isn't real, it uses fake gold and everything is just pixels anyway. Besides, my Hammi hat matches my current outfit perfectly fine. I guess if you vend the inflation price matters, but I don't see why. How can the price of pixels really matter. Personally I would like to see more hamster items. Hammi PJs, Hammi pets, Hammi ears and tail...it would be amazing.

POWER TO HAMMI scream

I'm making this entry to provide the people I am doing commissions for a way to keep themselves updated on the progress of their drawings. This way they can see what place they're in on my list, how complete I am with the drawings, how many drawings I do before theirs and if I come across any set backs that will delay me drawing anything. I suggest checking this entry at least once a week because I will keep updating it 3nodding Please scroll down to the bottom of this entry for the commission list.



Week of 12/17
-Ugh sorry for my lack of updates. There was vacation and finals and I lost track of things. I'm finally off for winter break though. I can get back to concentrating on drawings. Three people left whee



Week of 11/19
-I spent half the day inking everyone's pics. For once I actually have progress on EVERY SINGLE COMMISSION ON MY LIST~~!!!11 heart This day should be marked down in the annals of history for posterity 8D Tomorrow I shall commence coloration.



Week of 11/12
-Alright, people have been moved up a space. It's Thanksgiving break next week so I'll have free time to draw! YES! Not that I don't have free time now but I always have other things to worry and think about. On break I can draw with a clear mind xd

-Sorry for my hiatus. School has been...rather depressing, to say the least, and because of it I've been unmotivated to draw. Which is sad since I'm going to ART school xd But alas...I'll try and get back up and running this week. Thanks for being patient crying



Week of 10/15
-Everyone with a 25% next to their commissions should expect a preliminary sketch coming to them by PM very soon...hopefully by tomorrow sometime. How come I am getting more done at school than I ever did at home? Well, that is just one of the mysteries of life, I guess 3nodding



Week of 10/8
-Everyone has been moved up two spaces 3nodding



Week of 9/24
-Everyone has been moved up again 4laugh



Week of 9/17
-Everyone has been moved up one 4laugh

-Found a scanner! 4laugh Despite being in school I actually have a lot of free time. Let's hope this doesn't change sweatdrop Also lowered the price of sketches. I dunno what I was thinking making a sketch close in price to some colored pics sweatdrop



Week of 9/10
-HIII! I'm now in school whee I'm still gonna work on commissions in class (so far the classes are a breeze...*knock on wood*). The only problem is I have yet to locate a scanner eek I know there's one somewhere around here. This IS an art school afterall gonk I will PM you guys to let you know when I have finished your basic sketches, just so you know I have been doing the work.



Week of 9/3
-Everyone has been moved up a space. I'm off to school tomorrow, but I expect the beginning of the year to be slow, so I am going to keep working on pics until it gets too busy. The only thing is, I'm not sure how much access I will have to a scanner sweatdrop



Week of 8/27
-Well I am going off to school in a week. During this time I am too busy to continue commissions. But to be honest I am not sure how this will work out (with going to the school, I mean xd ). They've been messing everything up for me and I still don't have everything smoothed out right now. But until I go I will be working on all your pics. Also before I leave I will make sure to PM everyone just so you all know what's going on.

-Everyone's been moved up again 4laugh



Week of 8/21
-Everyone has been bumped up again 4laugh Slowly but surely I'm making my way through this list!

Week of 8/6
-So far so good this week. Everyone on the list has been bumped up one because I have finished #1's requests 4laugh Also I will be raising my prices. This will NOT effect anyone who has already put their orders in with me, so don't worry. The new prices will be in effect on 8/10. This means anyone who orders something on or after that date will be charged the new prices. I'll post the new prices when I come up with them sweatdrop



Week of 7/30
-Not a good week for me. I got my wisdom teeth out on Monday and since then I have had no will to do anything except lay in bed. Once the pain hits I am just blah. I've done hardly any drawing this past week so it set me back. I'm feeling better so hopefully I can get back on track now.

I am slow, but I do like to draw and the fact that you guys have commissioned me means a lot sweatdrop

Omfg I am getting my wisdom teeth pulled out on the 31st eek Not looking forward to it at all!

...My hamster I reported about two entries back...she died two nights ago crying Poor little thing. I wish there was more I could have done.

Does my art really suck that much? It seems every thread I make I get less and less replies. It's really frusterating. And yes I had this whole argument with a couple people in a thread recently about the same thing, but I'm sorry...I have a right to rant and left off steam every now and again. I always feel this way...invisable and unnoticed. I spend a lot of time on my art, contrary to the beliefs of SOME people who shall remain nameless, and it's sad to me when no one even notices it. It's true I'm not bestartisteveromfgdiez!!!11 But am I really THAT bad? All I get are really "That is GOOD" or some critiques that I know already. I mean...can I get something more engaging? I swear, I bumped my last topic like 5 or 6 times. I can't even figure out what the people want to see...like cute chibi things or Kingdom Hearts fanart? I don't really draw either very much. And I don't think my style is very unique. Actually I got told that a couple times...that I needed to develop my own style and it looked like I drew out of a "How to Draw Manga" book. Thank you but I HAVE my own style and I've never picked up a "How to Draw Manga" book. What you're looking at is me. True I can't force people to look at or like my stuff...but ARGH it is annoying! burning_eyes
