Reminder: Emergency Commissions, Adoptable Auction

Prices here. I am falling further behind on bills because of a car repair causing me to owe my parents 100$ a week. This is knocking me to literally 100-150$ a week that I bring home. I am having to choose whether to keep my internet on or get gas this week because I literally do not have enough mo…

Two of the three are entirely broken(hardware malfunction…

For what it's worth...

Rambly thing I noticed about my art

The more unsure of something I am, the thinner or lighter my line. I do it subconsciously. I noticed it today while drawing an old character that's getting revived. Facial features have thinner lines because I wasn't sure of them, wrinkles in clothes are very thin lines because....to be honest I ki…

Signal Boost for a Fire Survivor

One of my customers who comes in lost 38 years worth of possessions in a house fire that occurred on Christmas Eve of 2013. She has been living out of a small, old travel trailer and getting by on the bare minimums of what she can. If you can spare even a little extra to help her piece back some of…

Musings about drawing abdominal muscle anatomy vs. body types

This isn't pointed at any one person,just some stuff I've noticed over the years while learning to draw muscular people (men especially since I don't draw women that often). I've seen lots of folks draw the abdomen muscles incorrectly (not that I'm any kind of expert I simplify a lot). However I ha…

PSA: About "it's your job to not be offended'

This is coming from someone who as a young child was taught those words. It was my job to ignore the bullies, my job to not be offended by them and you know what? I listened because I thought that was how it was. I was young and couldn't see the ill-logic behind the words. Do NOT teach people this.…

If you're dork and you know it...

Help my friend?

My friend ZeeNovos needs some commissions so that she can get a new charger for her Ipad. The cords on hers have split and she's worried about using them: The USB chords in my house are a couple of years old, and recently, the rubber around the wires for two of them split open, revealing the wires,…

MTS? Nah...

Much to my roommate's chagrin, I rescued two more bettas today. Both were sitting in brown-orange water and are suffering from fin rot. One is so pallid I can't tell what color morph he is, nor what tail morph he has past the rot. He APPEARS to be a mustard gas veiltail or a copper but the finrot m…

Self-repairing laptop?!?!?!

My old toshiba laptop suffered a nasty fall from my hip to the ground when my laptop bag strap snapped. This left my screen entirely non operational. The computer would power on, but the screen would not, leaving me to believe that my laptop was dead for good. Yet today, upon plugging the thing in…

Dining like a champ lol

Possibly opening emergency commissions?

I will be sleeping on the idea but life has hit me hard the last few months and my job just wont cut it. I'm not expecting miracles to come out of me opening commissions(I need several hundred, if not several thousand USD to cover the crap that's been thrown at me). Between me and my roommate we ar…

Been considering making adoptables

The thought has a few times, crossed my mind to make adoptables, both custom and some of varying mythological creatures, some of my original species, and even some more mundane creatures. Some would be draw to adopts, trades or cash adopts/auctions depending on the nature of the adopt.

Pissed at my computer

I really need a new computer. This one likes to dictate when I can draw much to my grand annoyance. I can't even fucking get a commission done. -_-

USB ports finally kicked it

I probably won't be drawing for a while, at least not until I get a new computer which could take over a month.... My computer's reliability to connect with my tablet is very few and far between.
