Beads, Thanksgiving, etc.
Posted 16 years agoFUCK ME I KEEP HITTING ENTER BEFORE I TYPE ANYTHING IN THIS ENTRY.
Anyway..Thanksgiving is coming up! I'm gonna be a busy wolf. All my family is local, and I'll be all over the place eating/schmoozing/generally being awesome. I'll hop on here occasionally, but I probably won't be cranking out much in the way of sprites. In general, I might actually slow down on making sprites. I'm spending money, and making none. Being unemployed, this isn't a good thing.
Any of the sprites you see in my gallery (with the giant metroid ones being the exception) are for sale. If you want 'em, you can have 'em. $6 for most of them, shipped. $1 extra if you want 'em as magnets.
I have a new bead order placed, but it won't even be shipped until the 30th. It doesn't affect much, but I can't really start any commissions until then. Still taking them, though.
Next week, my brother is moving in down the road from us. He lives in Virginia. This is gonna be awesome. I'll be busy those days.
Take care y'all. You're good people.

Even more fun to be had.
Posted 16 years agoSo it turns out I need $555 worth of dental work.
Fuck that. I don't have that kind of cash.
Need my wisdom teeth removed, and 4 fillings. They can wait. Outrageous.
Someone commission 100 small sprites from me. That'll cover the costs? WHO WANTS ALL 151 ORIGINAL POKEMON?! Yours for $1000.
UPDATE: I'm bored and refuse to spam journal entries all over the damn place, so I'm gonna UPDATE THIS ONE.
Can anyone think of some of the most brutal, heavy, chugging death metal out there? I need some new stuff to rape my ears to. It helps me bead and keeps me in check. Start listing names. I will make fun of you if they suck.
Gimme requests. I'm sorting beads and I dunno what to make. Do it.

Posted 16 years agoWell, looks like I'm going to the dentist's tomorrow. It's been way too long for me..but my fangs seem fine, so meh. We'll see. Hopefully I won't need to get shit pulled or drilled or exploded or whatever they do nowadays.
Uh, regarding beadwork..let's see..I've got two commissions to work on, and two POTENTIAL requests. I need to sort out some of the beads I have now, and I need to place another bead order..should be a week or so before I'm really back in action.
To anyone reading this, these things make great Christmas presents for anyone who's a gamer. I love doing these things, and from what I've seen, there aren't TOO many people out there that do these. I could be wrong, though. Even something simple and small..they make badass fridge magnets or coasters.
I need to buy a new headset..my current one is about to crack in half because of my FAT HEAD, and without that, I have no sound..waiting on some fuses to arrive for my current speakers, but until then, I'm screwed.
I'm so hung over. I'm single again, too. Last night sucked. :(
Anyway..yeah. That's what's up. I'm still open for any requests, whatever you guys wanna see. Specific sprites would be appreciated. Commissions are always welcome. Thanks guys.

Instruct me, fellow artists!
Posted 16 years agoSo yeah.
I finished up the two most pending commissions. Jeremy hasn't gotten back to me yet, so I dunno about the status of his work.
That means, I'm looking for work! No, that doesn't mean I'm whoring myself out for commissions (even though I always am). It means I'm open for requests. What do you want to see me make? What games did you play as a kid that you loved? I love hearing from people..maybe I can get some real good ideas.
Any sprites'll do. As long as they're relatively small (like most you've seen in my gallery). Hell, if your idea is really kickass, I'll dedicate it to ya. That's how the system works.
Lay it on me! Let's have some fun.

Commission Pricing
Posted 16 years agoPRICING:
REGULAR BEAD SPRITE (<1000 beads)
$.02 per bead
LARGE BEAD SPRITE (>1000 beads)
$.02 per bead + $1.00 per each additional 100 beads, rounded down
COASTERS
[Sample]
Priced as a normal sprite, +$1.00 per coaster for foam backing
ADDITIONS
KEYCHAIN - Add $1.00 | [Sample]
MAGNET - Add $1.00 | [Sample]
Due to the fragile nature of bead sprites, I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for lost, broken, or otherwise damaged keychains. Please keep this in mind when ordering them!
CUSTOM SPRITES
I do not make custom sprites personally. If you would like something made, contact [Rikkoshaye] directly or let me know. Rates start at $5.00.
If would you like your fursona turned into a bead sprite, please contact [Slug]. Rates start at $25.00.
SHIPPING:
$4.00 base shipping on ALL orders
$7.00 base shipping on ALL international orders
If you're not from the United States/Puerto Rico, you're considered international.
Prices will vary based on the size of your order. Most sprites are mailed in padded bubble envelopes. Large or oddly shapes sprites may require me to use a cardboard box. This will result in an increased rate for shipping. Please keep this in mind when ordering!
It takes me a while to get to the post office. Orders will sometimes take weeks for me to ship out. I do apologize for this delay. If an order is time-sensitive, let me know ahead of time.
PAYMENT:
PayPal is my preferred method of payment. My PayPal address is BoxMacLeod[at]gmail.com. E-Check is also accepted. For orders of $50+, I will accept half payment up front and half upon completion of the order.
I shouldn't swear in the title of this journal entry.
Posted 16 years agoSHIT.
Ha, fooled you.
I'm feeling good. Everyone's been giving me a lot of support for my work lately. It means a lot, and I really appreciate the kind words and the encouragement. Met some new furs, had some chats, gotten a commission here and there. What's not to like? If only I had a good beer..New Belgium brewery needs to mail me a sampler..
Listening to some brutal stuff. I forgot how awesome The Project Hate is. Give them some love. They're the greatest band ever. EVER.
I don't know why I'm writing this. I'm bored. I like to hear myself type. This keyboard is huge and loud. It's like a machine gun.
Anyway..I'm gonna post some formal commission stuff up later tonight, so people have an idea of price points and generally, how the whole damn system works.
Thanks for listening. Metal for life. \m/

URGH.
Posted 16 years agoI hate beads sometimes.
This is one of those times.
I think I may refrain from doing larger sprites in the future. Good lord.
I'm in need of work. Anybody want a sprite or two done for 'em?

Just a few things.
Posted 16 years agoUh, nothing really fancy to post. I'm not gonna turn into one of those people who writes about mundane crap..though I guess this qualifies. I just have a few things of note going on.
Going to Baltimore tomorrow morning! My brother's getting married, so huge congrats to him. I get to wear a tuxedo..fantastic. I'll be gone until Monday or Tuesday, most likely.
Also, I placed my bead order finally..once that arrives, I can work on my commissions and get those posted. I have two big secret projects in the works, too..I'm hoping you guys will like 'em.
Thanks for everyone's support and comments..I wasn't expecting such a response..it's a great encouragement to my little hobby here.
Stay awesome, everyone.

Generic Title of Entry
Posted 16 years agoWill I ever wind up actually using this? I guess I am, technically..but that's besides the point. I'm not the type to really sit around and type about my daily life..partially because it's boring as all fuck, and secondly..I'm too busy sitting on my ass doing other things.
I guess I'll post something, though. If you're reading this, awesome. Thank you.
I dunno..things have been kinda crappy lately. The right people are ignoring me, and the right stuff is going wrong. However, I'm not letting it get to me more than it should, as my dear brother is getting married this Sunday! Congrats to him.
I'm basically unemployed at this point..a graduated college student looking for something to do. Metal, beer, and beads..that's all I need to sustain me.
So that's it. My first post. My last post? I don't know. If anyone actually reads this, and you have an interest in the life of this wolf, then I'll post more. If I get drunk, I might wind up posting something, too. Those should be entertaining.
Poke me on YIM/AIM if you're readin'. I absolutely love meeting new faces..plus it'll cheer me up. Eh? Eh?
<3
