No stream
Livestream procaster is being a bitch. The crop marks won't show, chat won't show, so nothing is working right. :| tried uninstalling / reinstalling etc. but nothing. They know the issue exists and are 'working on it'. SIIGH
Pricing + Stream
Helloooo There has been another price change, an increase on everything by $5. Apologies if this causes an inconvenience but it was suggested by other artists my art is most definitely worth that increase. Stream pricing will stay the same for now. I don't anticipate raising that for awhile. Today…
Streaming!

Website Updated + Pricing Changes
I've finished the freelance website! If you would like to see my TOS, available slots, etc., please visit my site here: http://justcallmeinsane.com/ I have also changed my invoices just slightly (added logo and business name), as well as added it to my signature on emails. So don't be alarmed when…
Queue: Please look here for your spot :)
I am currently redoing my website, which means the queue there will no longer be used or updated, so please do not look at. :) I am also changing how the queue will function to make things more anonymous and easier to track for me, as many people have different usernames or variations across differ…

I do not know that person's age. dis shit right here: http://postimg.org/image/987n5oav9/ People, especially kids, say stupid shit ALL THE TIME. educate them on why it's bad. if they don't get it, move on. they're k…
happy halloween :)
Happy Halloween! I painted my face as a sugarskull :D I did a pretty decent job. I need to use better tools for black lines and better white face paint, but it wasn't bad. It did come off a lot easier than I thought, which is good 'cause I work tomorrow morning. XD I used pink and purple for the ey…
I hate people
"boohoo i'm just a poor female game dev and now that i made fun of ppl they made fun of me and don't like what i say so it's harassment' 'oh yea my parents are millionaires and gave me 200,000 to make my poorly made iphone game and I don't think that's a lot of money so I'm ok with tweeting about i…

Certain so-called Feminists are hypocrits
When I was on Twitter, a feminist who watches me claims she's against harassment of women. But when someone called me a terrorist, a supporter of rape, death threats, etc. of and to women simply for the fact I support honest gaming journalism, they weren't there to defend me. So, this says to me: H…
Might delete my tumblr.
This is about the modern-day feminists who also, by textbook definition, can fall under the term feminazi. Just tired of all this bull shit I keep seeing there, especially the posts about how because I'm female I'm a victim of men, and how all these so-called feminists keep saying they'll speak for…
Halloween YCHs~
It's time to prep for Halloween! I've got two YCH's available for the start of this awesome month. https://www.weasyl.com/submission/734192/halloween-ych-puppet You can be a puppet... https://www.weasyl.com/submission/734705 or a Jack in the Box!

Anyone listen to Lords of Acid? Not for the weak or those who hate anything sexual. ;)
Update!
So my laptop is done. Going to pick that up today, and finish with those last two requests (or try to get them in the linework stages), and hopefully this means I get to stream this week again!! :) Yay!! I'm working on opening up for Halloween Chibi's for Oct., possibly some YCH's, too. Thinking ab…

I'm now going to put the others who weren't first in a second request list which will be here. :) Last spot filledddd anniekitty - Done fenrisdesigns - Sketching borgi - Done Archidaequiem - Done Thanks for this guys :)
Laptop Update
So they somehow put my laptop on the list of drop offs for today and not yesterday, so it hasn't really been looked at yet. :| It's an honest mistake, so even though it's frustrating it happens. Despite me dropping it off pretty early yesterday (around noon). The guy did apologize and then tried to…
Requests - Update
SO Laptop finally was all...IM NOT TURNING ON ANYMORELOLOL. But I have the sketches saved to dropbox so nothing is lost. :) So far I have Jubeihero, ZiggytheCabbit and Shadowfirewolf almost done. You may see the sketches at the following links: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c0jm3hzrq9p6tr8/requests01c.…
Don't usually do this, BUT Requests!
I'm opening for a few requests. I may draw them full figure, I might just do a headshot or bust. I'm only going to open for 4. I don't mind doing fanart, but for these, I rather not as I have to research the characters personality etc. to get them to look right. At this time I don't want to do that…

Really cool project
So, this concept and idea is AWESOME. 5 women who had never made a video game before were picked to pitch a concept. Pitches were made for them, and people can vote on their favorite. Through an indiegogo campaign, money is being raised to pay people to work on the game that wins. All 5 games are n…
I'm not dead, I promise
Just been working on stuff and day job has me working more hours. >< Trying to get more of my personal work done. I will probably post more of it on my tumblr / twitter, since it'll be more human oriented annnnd some of it is fan art. I feel dumb when I post fan art. Don't ask. SO. yea. XD Commissi…
So. Mini rantish.
I had a job interview last week for a graphic designer / social media / web development gig, and I thought it went well because he said for me to stop by the office today after I got off my day job to get a better idea of the studio. So, through a storm (literally driving 35mph on the freeway, it w…

Taken from archidaequiem's journal for explanation on how to help: "So my good friend GrimsonLime is having some personal problems and you can help! Click on the comics at the end of the blog and it will help him out just by clicking through the pages (though you should read it too). Here are the c…
Names I go by / have gone by
Just an identity crisis throughout my life. First username was lilchicklet - felt I was naive and innocent.

Computer Update
So got the new screen put in. It's MUCH better. The white doesn't flicker, but there is some minor red pixelation still. Dad went out for a bit so I'll have to show him that later, but for now this is workable and doable and stuff. I am going to work in a few minutes so I should be able to scan my…
What to sketch?
SO. While computer is flickering and while I wait to get it fixed later tonight / sometime tomorrow (hopefully), I figure WHY NOT SKETCH IN MAH SKETCHBOOK. GASP. I only sketch in pen though. SO. That's that. Could be purple ink, could be black. Most likely purple 'cause I have at least 10 purple pe…
laptop again.
EDIT: Laptop is back to "normal". Dad ordered a new screen for replacement, so hopefully this fixes everything by thurs. I am a bit worried as I couldn't get into safe mode without running into a black screen, which means driver issues, but maybe it's just 'cause I was messing with them. Just cross…
Laptop is in good condition :D
So, showed my dad my laptop before going to get it fixed at this place. He messed with the drivers for the Nvidia graphics card, then deleted them, then put them back on, then updated the Bios, then did some other stuff, and it was fine. I DON'T KNOW HOW. I UPDATED THE DRIVERS MAYBE TWO MONTHS AGO.…
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
NOTHING LIKE BUYING A NEW TABLET ONLY TO HAVE LAPTOP SAY 'LOLZ SCREEN DISCOLORATION GONNA HAPPEN NOW TIL YOU OPEN ME UP AND FIX CONNECTIONS' 'CAUSE WHY NOT MORE ISSUES
Fox Corpse
So, at my b/f's farm there is a mummified fox. We thought other animals and bugs would have torn it to shreds by now but it just looks like some alien leathery creature - and it's been almost 4 years. I know that if it's buried it should help the decomposition but I don't want to lose the small bon…
Plants!
Here's my tumblr post of some of my plants and the ones growing naturally at my b/f's parent's farm! http://jcallmeinsane.tumblr.com/post/91044176048/plants-up-north-at-the-farm-i-go-to-b-fs-parents I'm wicked sore from helping them clear out the old barn (who wants to try moving hay / straw that's…
Finally bought a new tablet!
First, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO'S COMMISSIONED ME! And second, THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO SUPPORT ME IN OTHER WAYS. Used recent commission money towards a new tablet, a Huion tablet with a built in 4gb microsd card and 2 tablet pens. I got tired of the one I have being unresponsive to everything, and…
July Monthly Theme
Hello! SO since June was a bit of a not-so-productive month for me on here, I'm hosting a special sale for the month along with the monthly themed commissions! This month is: CAMPING! Take a look here for details: http://justcallmeinsane.com/Specials.html Camping sample coming soon!

Yay donations / tips and paypal / logoz
NOT asking for them, but I was thinking about adding a tip jar / donate thing on my website. Downfall is that paypal only does it for nonprofits? I know that some artists use the donate feature but I wasn't sure how they do it with paypal's nonprofit thing. Like the donations would be used for site…
FFFFFFFFF
Just as I start getting my commission site fixed up pretty, one thing breaks. I have NO idea what the issue is. I literally copied the CSS div info, pasted it in a new spot, and renamed it so I could tweak that for another page. Only once I change the name, it doesn't work anymore. If I put it back…
Lexi Alexander
I'm not one for the gender inequality bandwagon, I usually just push through and do what I can to make a difference when the opportunity arises, more than talking about it (I'm an actions speak louder than words person). But I was shown an article by Lexi Alexander, and she's amazing. She's a femal…
Stop it, Hollywood
I'm tired of hearing all the studios go 'hey, lets move here to save a few bucks!'. It's getting so annoying. The industry is getting killed off even more in America now. Some days I don't even think I'm ever going to make it, and that being one of the reasons. The others are I don't have 5+ years…
Patreon?
Ok, so this is dumb probably, but how many people are actually interested in Patreon? It seems interesting to me, but I would want to do something similar to what the creator of Las Lindas did, which was put a themed image down for a variety of characters or ideas, and whichever hit a certain amoun…
Monthly theme for June
Thinking up a new monthly commission theme for June. Past themes were rain, superhero / villian. The past themes will still be available, though! I was thinking swimwear since it's getting warmer, or spring, relax, exploration. Any ideas you guys have? :)
Apologies - mini rant
So we had to ship the modem back to Time Warner from when we were in California. It got returned to us for some reason, so I told the b/f to call to get an address verification. He said it's no big deal and he'll leave it alone. I tell him that's going to cost more money in the long run. He doesn't…
What is this called
I am trying to remember what this is called. It's basically a diagram or graph or something that has a tab on the side, and when you pull or push it, a number changes on a cutout rectangle or square or whatever to show the change in numbers or whatever. I'm trying to make something similar for a mi…

Those Graduating
"I feel like students never believe me when I talk about this but life post-graduation is rarely as exciting as they think it will be and it's generally tougher than anything experienced as a student. All buffers are gone and you might freefall for a bit. The students who tell me they'll work harde…
Houdini VFX tutorials
If anyone has an interest in learning VFX (making smoke, fires, explosions etc. in 3D) and plans on learning Houdini, just thought I'd list some youtube and vimeo channels with great tests and tutorials here :) https://www.youtube.com/user/johnnycorebrieee/videos https://vimeo.com/groups/houdiniclu…
May Theme Commissions
Note: This is also being extended from last month due to unforeseen circumstances that prevented me from doing work for a short while. :) These will change on a monthly basis! May's Theme: SUPERHEROES or SUPERVILLIANS You make pick an already existing hero or villain to dress up as, or make up your…
File Conversion
So I rendered a 3D turnaround in .tga instead of .jpg (even though jpg was selected, it still read as tga?). I need to batch convert the file format. I know there's online converting services, but I was curious if there was a free software download for it. If not, I'll try using the free online stu…
Emails are good again
I don't know how, but the emails were deleted on the domain. They are now back to working order. :D
Having some issues with my commission email
I am currently having issues with my domain email - I am trying to fix the problem as I type this. I am not sure if it happened during my ftp transfer tests last night or not, so we will see. For now, please use cadaverous.doll@gmail.com :(
Updates!
So, things aren't that bad here. It's not great, but for the time being it's alright. Tomorrow I get my schedule from work, and then I'll be able to get everything finalized in living arrangements. Yay!! My brother is more than happy to move all of his toys so I can put my computer stuff in my old…
back in michigan
So back in MI. At my b/fs parent's house and watching the dog beg for our breakfast. its so fucking cold here omg. I went from 90 degree weather to 45. Ugh. and detroit is a fucking mess. it has led street lights now, but most of the lights are off. it is not smart to have any city left in the dark…
MIA for a few days
In short, I will be moving back to Michigan for a bit this summer this week. If you're interested in a commission, you may send an email, however it won't be started (and if an email is sent while I'm on the road) until after I get settled in MI. Payment obviously will not be taken prior to me leav…
Things left to do
Things left to do before we move out: Call current store to set up transfer for me to go back to store in MI Make sure lease for apt. is assuredly cancelled - no rent paid for next month. Ship a few things to home / b/f's home Change address on all my accounts for all the things Verify California p…
Figuring things out
So I've been thinking about it a lot. A lot. I'm taking care of all of this legal stuff with the apartment eviction thing. The actual eviction isn't in effect yet until we go to court. Right now we need to get a written / typed whatever from their attorney to ensure that they will drop the lawsuit…
At least something good!!
So about two weeks ago I saw a game design contest on Gamasutra for a space themed game that didn't involve humans of any kind. I read it, and thought why not? So I typed up a game design pitch in about 500 words (that was the limit), and sent it in. Images were optional and I was really upset I di…
Wasn't really gonna say anything but
Things have been really rough financially (like everyone else on this planet). I'll be moving out of this apartment within a month due to us not being able to pay rent. I've been boosting my resume out to places the past few weeks to studios, trying to get in. Pretty sure none of that is going to h…
TIMELAPSE!!!
SPED UP VIDEOS OF PAINTINGS ARE TIMELAPSES, NOT SPEEDPAINTS. FINALLY FOUND THE RIGHT TERMINOLOGY OMG. Ok back to renders. I'll also be streaming today within 2 hoursish.
I hate chrome
Omg. So chrome is just refusing to load weasyl at all for me. I don't know why. I cleared cache / cookies, reentered all my passwords for all accounts I use, and then. Same thing. Chrome still didn't load weasyl. So I turned off the waxpost thinking that was causing issues. Nope. Nada. Same thing.…
Just one of them days
Ever have one of those days where you just can't seem to get it together, like you feel like your entire life has just gone by and you've missed out on it with no chance of getting it back? I have a lot of these days and today is one. Blech. Apologies for the lackluster journal. Just needed to say…
AAHHH PHP, Java, help
So I'm redoing my commission site into html, and not updating it with the website maker program I have anymore, because I'm tired of having to resize things all the time. It's not a good way of doing anything. Right now I've got most of the layout down, I just need to figure out how to get the menu…
April Themed Commissions!
For the month of April I will be doing a special just like last month, except this time it's the theme of superheros and villain ! :) Dress up as your favorite superhero or villain, or make up one for yourself. Sample coming soon! They will be one figure, fully shaded, no BG but some small objects…
Earthquakes
Holy shit there was like 60000000 earthquakes just now. a 5.1 which I felt and lasted for a bit, then a gazillion aftershocks. A bigger one might be on the way. I stood in the hall for that and I was like HNNNGG OMMGGG I can't decide what's worse: earthquakes, or tornadoes.
Last chance for March Rain commissions!
See https://www.weasyl.com/submission/502339/march-themed-commissions for details and sample :)
Feeling as if I'm misleading customer at work - Long post
So, I'm not a believer in any way shape or form. I don't care for religion, organized or not, I don't believe in any aspect of it and personally find it damaging (in regards to its laws and extremists) to many people. I sometimes wonder if my fears are messed up because of it: There's always someon…
Speed through video I made
EDIT: New link, youtube hiccuped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rRmSaHk9f0&feature=youtu.be Yay! It's a speed-through of the drawing I did of the cat and the frog :) Just playing with that. Might do more!
Quote forms!
So I made some changes to my TOS (nothing bad, most of it is minor rewording and reformatting) and added a part about quote forms in my pricing section. I try to write down price quotes on my own on paper, but that's not the best thing to do, really, and that means the commissioner doesn't get a co…
Rendering most of today
So I am playing with speeding up my recordings of my drawings for some editing practice. This one will for aboouut 3 hours. after that ill be rendering more of my particle simulations which may take another 2 hours. yaay. so that's where I will be today. I will periodically check messages on my pho…
Hobbies
So I'm thinking about picking up a hobby. I really like wire jewelry, so I thought I'd try it out. I'm looking for something that I can just sit down and play with without too much effort or hundreds of tools and the like. I know wire jewelry needs the pliers and stuff, but outside of that it seems…
Cosmos - Neil Tyson
I'm super excited for this remake. I don't have cable, so I'll probably have to wait for awhile to watch it or find an online source, but its existence is just wonderful. I saw commercials for it last night on Hulu and it just made me giddy. Cosmos is about science, how life works, where we came fr…
Sorry for the lack of inactivity
I was sick over the weekend, and I've been working the past few days in addition to that. I'm finally better yay. I got the next two days off. I'm going to try and work out a schedule for myself where I stream during the day, and then work on my own stuff at night. Really going to push for that! So…

https://www.weasyl.com/journal/39423/anybody-want-a-chibi-25 Super awesome artist and person. :) She's offering $25 chibisss yay :D
Rage - Im sorry
Work is fucking stupid. Coworker wise. I literally have customers that might as well be considered clients because they only want to deal with ME. That's nice, right? NO. That means everyone else is unreliable. I had 3 people who preferred to deal with me today with me-specific jobs that all had to…
Special Themed Commissions!
For the month of March I will be having a themed commission special, focused on Rain. How does your character react to it? What would they do? It can be before, after, or during! There will be five slots for it, each one $25. The images will be fully shaded, however there will be NO BACKGROUND. You…
Got this cool spider
So my boss was getting rid of junk and brought in this spider to see if I wanted it. It's missing quite a bite BUT I'll keep it for a little while. It's a wolf spider, and her name is Temp (for temporary lolol). You can check her out here: http://jcallmeinsane.tumblr.com/ I'm not sure what preservi…
MY ART IS NOT DISAPPEARING
I'm just taking advantage of these folders. Big time. I'm loving this so much. xD I don't like messiness. Once it's all organized I'll see what will automatically show and what won't. :D I might just make a general 'featured' folder.
Hmmm - what kind of candle?
So I'm done with my little fluid VFX, which you can see here: https://vimeo.com/85473964 and now I'm moving on to Pyro VFX. I wanted to a simple candle that's lit, only I'm not sure if I want the candle shape to be suuper simple, or something fun (like a heart or star or something). I don't want to…
Resubmitting 'cause Weasyl Crashed
The whole issue with a certain user joining the team of FA's coders had a lot of users saying 'It's not our business, it's a he-said she-said issue and there's no solid proof anyway.' I then find these same users complaining about /another/ user who is, in simple terms, being a dick, but supposedly…
Movies during Streams?
Debating if you guys would like that, maybe once a week or so? I will probably play movies that are PG or so (like animated movies), but maybe the occasional horror movie or more 'mature' movie I guess. I know I've already played The Croods, Cars 2, Hotel Transylvania...I have Despicable Me 1 and 2…
No streams today ;-;
I was going to, but I had a lot of test renders to do, plus laundry. Plus dishes. Plus life. SO. I will try to work in a stream tomorrow night for awhile, or (here it comes) attempt one during the day this week, as I have mostly night shifts. So weirddd
Hmmm...books to read, games to play.
So I re-setup my PS3 last night during my almost 12 hour render for a liquid simulation (you can see the first test here: https://vimeo.com/84560518 it has extremely lowpoly geometry, it's just a test, but to give you an idea what I was rendering). It's more than halfway done, just...gotta render t…
X Chromosomes
So, I really REALLY love genetics. I had considered going into it before deciding on art. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/21/science/seeing-x-chromosomes-in-a-new-light.html?smid=tw-nytimesscience&seid=auto&_r=1 This is really interesting. X chromosomes are more active in different organs, sides of…
Just finished reading 'His Dark Materials'
The ending was so sad, and I wish there was more to read, but it was written so well and is so thought-provoking that I am not left unsatisfied. The series of His Dark Materials started with The Golden Compass, which I think more people will find familiar to them because of the movie. It's based on…
Omg
I am finding so many awesome people to watch on here :) SO MUCH ARTS. Basically, if I watch you, I love all the things you're drawin'. I just can't fav it all XD

So sleepy still. ;-; -sips coffee- So I am still really happy with Weasyl right now. Despite the Ddos stuff, the site seems stable for me (I can still run around it), the thumbnails work well for me so I don't always have to see porn on the main page (it's still there obviously, but with the little…
Liffeee
I hate my coworkers so much sometimes. It's like quality control just doesn't exist if I'm not around. Things that were meant to be laminated came out horrribbleee. Like half didn't actually laminate. It looked awful, and no one thought 'hey, this is unacceptable to give to the customer', so they p…
Happy Holidays!
Wanted to wish everyone happy holidays and merry christmas :) I hope you all have a nice day and stay safe! I may or may not be around tomorrow. We'll see :)
Today
SO FA journals are down (can't wait to see what falls apart next!), and I couldn't post my general update journal or whatevers you'd call it. So most of the morning / day I dedicated to learning that program and get something done for the potential job, then worked on Miwauturu's commission. My eye…
Just posting artworks
Just a bunch of stuff I never got around to posting on here. I'm going to start slooowwlllyyy converting from FA to Weasyl and make it updated as often as FA. I'LL TRY MY HARDEST. Just wanna give this site a chance :D
SO
I'm going to try and use Weasyl more often :) If not as often as FA. I will be updating with some recent work I've done, too. HURRAY.
