Hello dears. <33 I deeply appreciate the concern and caring thoughts from all of you. This week was stressful and rough for me and I'm sorry if I worried anyone. ; ; Don't worry. I'm a tough cookie and I won't let dumb crap get me down! I'mma starry fighter!

In other news my birthday is exactly a month from now~! (March 13th!) I'm not looking forward to leveling up wehhhh. I feel so old! D: But I am looking forward to spending time with my lovelies and family and enjoying my time with them. <33 Also, March means spring in my mind, and spring is my favourite season so I'm extremely looking forward to it~! I adore it so~ Warm weather makes me so happy. I do not do well in the cold at all!

I'm going to buy myself something nice that I've always wanted for my birthday. <3 I really want to get a new tablet and/or a new camera sometimes this spring! I've had an old beat up Bamboo from Wacom for over 5 years. It's definitely time for an upgrade. I'm going to use commission moneys to help go towards one of them~! (The other will be with work monies over times.)

Speaking of~! I was going to hold a Valentine's Day YCH auction but stress got in the way of that so I couldn't get to it in time. I might do some spring/Easter ones though! And I will have a commission sheet in the near future, along with an idea I've had, that I keep mentioning but forget to upload haha. What options would you guys like to see/have though?

Hope you've been well. <3

Hello everyone~! This weekend we are going to Setsucon~! We've gone every year for the past five years - we're like veterans. I'm super excited~! I had a long busy week but I had this to look forward to~ > u> So exciting! I'm cosplaying as Kairi. <33 From Kingdom Hearts. She's one of my spirit people~~ So I'm super excited to finally cosplay her! Another one I'm aiming to get this year is Homura~ She is another character who I relate a lot and feel connected to. <3 Really want to cosplay a lot more to be honest. Been wanting to do photoshoots and stuffs~! It's just so much fun~ I'm aiming to go on a journey to a con in the Spring/Summer too. Somewhere out of state. Gosh AX would be a dream too. That's always been a dream convention of mine. <33

I don't think I have any watchers that are from my state but if you're going to this convention, feel free to say hi~~

As for art updates, I apologize for the hiatus of January. Once this convention is over I'm going to upload a new commission idea~ It was inspired by an art inspiration of mine, as an inexpensive option for people, and allows me to have a lot of freedom for fun commissions~ So look forward to that. I'm also thinking of just doing a new commission chart for the new year as well!

I will be much more active come February~!

Sorry for the small hiatus on here, everyone. December was a busybusy month and I got sick over New Years and haven't been able to draw much. D: But now I'm back on track and am excited for this new year. I feel like 2015 is gonna be incredible. <33 I truly feel it. I know this year is going to finally be my year! <33

I have some goals, as always, for art, however they're not just the generic "improve, work on art more, etc". I want to focus more on quantity and making more art than super detailed pieces. I want to work on lots of smaller things this year. More sketches, speedpaints, and the like and get better with my speed for making art. <3 That's what I really want to focus on. So there will be lots more simple and quick stuff uploaded. I hope that's okay~ I'm also going to start uploading any, and everything, from finished pieces to sketches and maybe even my human stuff which I do more of because I have more human characters. Gonna finish one of my novels this year too~ Lots of goals in general. <33

Also, I've gotten over a 100 watchers which I think is incredible. (/ v \) thank you so much for supporting me. You all are lovely. I really want to interact with my watchers more so I was thinking of maybe hosting some livestreams in the future like I used to. If anyone wanted to join of course~

Oooh~~! Also thought of making a FAQ perhaps? Ask me questions~! I want to interact with you guys. I don't bite. I promise~ So never be afraid to talk to me!

Nanowrimo (National writers month) and I'm gonna be in a writing frenzy for the next 30 days. I've done it for the past 3 years and there have been obstacles that prevented my from finishing the goal but I'm really going to try and reach the 50k this year! And even if I don't I'm gonna try and get past 20k which was as close as I got the previous years. Any other writers participating? * u *

I'm still going to draw daily, but my postings may be a bit sparse, so for that I'll apologize in advance. I''ve got lots of WIPs im working on as well as some new YCH auctions ideas~ Also gonna work on getting some normal commission prices as well. Any you'd be interested in seeing~?

Also! I lowered the prices for my adoptables to 10 dollars since Halloween is over. Please give them a good home. <3 http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14809652/ I'm up for negotiations as well!

Reminder that these are for sale http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14809652/

$15 each! c:

It ends in hour, go get it while you can~~~!

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14502163/

Also, thank you SO SO MUCH for all this support during this time. ; v; I'm absolutely honoured with how much people have supported and signal boosted my work. I am so grateful and blessed more then you can imagine. You all are so wonderful. <33 Hugs and kisses for you all.

I've also got an influx of watchers (I am so giddy) and I'm completely floored. Thank you for following my silly art. ; v; I hope you have what I like to offer. Each day I'm getting closer to a 100 watchers and I want to hold some sort of celebration or something to show just how much I appreciate each and every one of you.

If you have any ideas, let me know~ I thought of maybe doing a stream? Or a Q/A or a kiriban or something of the sort.

Thank you again!

Here is my Weasyl if anyone wants to follow me over there. <3 The site seems close-knit, supportive, and lovely and I'm happy to join!

Emergency commissions and donation fund!!

I didn't want to do this. I really didn't. But my mom told me I should at least try, so here I am. I hate feeling weak, I hate not being able to control my own life.


~

I had applied to go back to my school for this winter/spring semester. I have a wonderful co-worker who is willing to take me back and forth as he goes to school as well. I would only be part time - only two classes. Tuesdays and Thursdays, and then I would work the rest of the days. I am not going back to this school permanently. I am going so I can get more credits so I can transfer to my dream college in California. My home. Where I belong.

Going part time at my old college, they expect me to pull 2K out of my pockets up front. Even with a payment plan I need this by March. (Surprise! Happy birthday to me!) The only way I can pay the 1k this week is if I take it out of my California funds. I cannot tell you how heartbroken and angry I am that I have to do that. That part of my hard work goes down the drain. It kills me. Then I'll need $500 for February and $500 for March. Registrar's have great payment plans let me tell you.

I also have foot doctor, and hospital bills that need to be paid slowly by surely... I won't be able to work as often as I'm used to because of school, so I'm going to need to literally save every penny... It's going to be rough. But when May comes around (School term ends in April) I will work like horse and get my CA funds back up to where they were...

But...going back to school for just this semester will help me in the long run. Even if may not seem that way right now. Even if I don't get admitted to my dream college out in Cali, I will find my way out there somehow. This is my year. I will be out there this year. Won't let anyone tell me otherwise. I will go to the place I belong this year. I will.

I'm doing everything in my power to make this happen. I've been through Hell and back. This week has been a Russian roulette. But I can't give up. I'll never give up.

I am taking any type of commission you'd like! Check my dA http://aviditty.deviantart.com/ or art tumblr http://sketchesmadeofstardust.tumblr.com/ for more examples!

Sketches are $5. Chibi's for $10. Colored sketches are $10. Speedpaints are $20. I can take more than these for offers as well!

If you would like to donate for whatever reason I would be forever in your debt. ; ; If you would like a sketch or something in return, please let me know. Any amount helps, even a dollar! If I could make even 50 or so I would be grateful. ; ;

My Paypal is: sheimi4[at]hotmail.com

And if you do not want to donate, if you could signal boost this I would be forever grateful.

Help me live my dream and go back to school for the things I adore. Help this small school goal become a bigger one and help me get out to the place I belong.

That is all I want more than anything. <3

Animal Crossing Bell commissions! PLEASE READ EVERYTHING! Thank you. <3 Also, if you would like to trade friend codes; just send me a message! I want more friends to play with!

I thought of this fun little idea~ I know a lot of people expressed interest in commissioning me if they could, but either didn't have the money or weren't allowed too. Now here's a fun way that doesn't cost real money, but will help me with my animal crossing adventures. u wu Hee~ I just grabbed some half-decent sketch examples and...I realized I have no flats whatsoever. I like shading apparently. Oops. So I just grabbed a shaded pic and got rid of the shades, and then grabbed Copic examples.

Just because these are animal crossing commissions does not mean they have to be animal crossing related! None of these are as you can see~! However I wouldn't mind doing animal crossing pics~ u wu I'll do humans, anthros, critters, chibis, and animal crossing related things~

Sketches: 100,000 bells (I can do traditional or digital. But prefer traditional as I like drawing in sketchbooks as you can probably tell.)

Flats: 300,000 bells (You pick whether you want colored or black lineart)

Copics/traditional: 350,000 (They have to have slight shading sorry.)

Please spread the word if you can! I really want to do this. <3 It would be sooooo fun! You'll need to feel comfortable with giving me your friend code and coming to my town. I would like the bell payments to be on Animal Crossing: New Leaf, however, if you don't have the game and really want a commission, I will accept City Folk as well!

If you need more examples, just let me know! Send me a note on here or on tumblr if you're interested! <3 Thank you!
