Wrist Pains/Little Break
Posted 8 years ago
Hey so, my wrist has been hurting recently.
Looks like my love of fast-paced RPGs, exercise and artwork have caught up to my right hand a little - I've had this before, nothing major.
Just going to take it easy for a day or two to let it mend, do a few lines here and there, avoiding binging on Hollow Knight or Dark Souls, using my left hand more for daily tasks.
I'd rather be able to keep drawing and a few people mad that their art took a little longer than expected than develop something nasty like CTS ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hope you all understand!

Other Side of the Flu (General Update)
Posted 8 years ago
Hey ghosts and ghouls!
Artwork's been kinda slow these past two weeks, between coming down with a nasty headcold (manflu hurhur) and my fulltime job being a shit I've been struggling to draw (oh and somethingsomethingResi7somethingsomething...)
Bear with me :V I haven't forgotten you lot!
Got a lot of big projects in the list right now, so will be getting to them in due course.
Remember as ever if you're feeling hard done by, talk to me about it, and if you want a refund I can always do so up to the point in the commission we've reached!
Just putting that out there incase anyone forgot that's my ToS on these!
That's all! I never really discuss my life on these journals anymore?
Not that you lot really wanna know about my boring ass existence!

Car Accident/Commission Delays
Posted 8 years ago
Hey dudes!
So unfortunately I got thrown off my bike, nothing broken nothing cut nothing infected, but, I have slammed down on my right shoulder and badly hurt the rotator cuff of my right shoulder, my dominant hand.
My range of movement is BAD right now, it'll improve but the hospital said musuclar injuries can take up to 12 weeks to heal, nothing to be done other than keep it moving a bit to stop stiffness setting in.
Ain't permanent but please understand, not exactly thrown myself off my bike on purpose
So shit all around is gonna be delayed - thank fuck it wasn't my wrist!
If any current client really wants a refund we can arrange it, note me and we'll talk, I understand.
I'm fine, lady who hit me with her door was fine too! We were both in shock, but she was amazing and stayed with me the whole time right up to driving me home.
Just an FYI!

Little Block in the Road
Posted 9 years ago
Yo party people!
Won't lie, had a little bit of the ole block recently - hence the lack of anything~
Don't like being lazy about art, but nor do I want to draw for the sake of drawing because that just gives you lot sub-par results.
Currently digging through the queue, sorry for being slow!

Alternative Contact / Art Update

I AM NOT LEAVING HERE DON'T WORRY
I just want to give you lot some alternative means of contacting me:
Art Email: IAmMonstr[at]gmail.com (going to be replacing notes with this)
Furry Network: https://beta.furrynetwork.com/eda/ (still to be populated, slowly..)
Weasyl: https://www.weasyl.com/~eda (though it's gathering dust some..)
I'm debating how to use my twitter at the moment so I won't quite open the flood gates on that yet...
But yeah! There's that, so now if FA explodes in a ball of fire I hopefully won't be totally nomadic.

MAJOR DELAYS IN ART
Posted 9 years ago
So if it wasn't bad enough that my Surface is no longer responding to pressure on SAI (literally me and a more IT minded friend went over EVERYTHING we could think of, got it working for all of five mintes, then poof it went away as if by magic) meaning I'm trying to learn CLIP just so I can move forwards, my PC has properly bricked it...
Gets past the BIOS, beeps, Windows 10 logo with the spinny circle, mouse and keyboard light up, goes dark like it's going to go to the desktop, mouse and keyboard turn off like normal, and that's it... it sits there, never moving from a blank screen, power light still on, processing light not flashing, not moving from that point.
I've unplugged all my external drives,
Removed all the other internal drives other than the SSD I use for the opperating system,
I've refreshed the install of windows
I've wiped the C drive clean and reinstalled
NO-THING
I'm at the end opf my rope here, all I can think to do is go out tomorrow, buy a new SSD and put this PC back together from scratch before my night shift...
Fuck my life.

Should add a lifeupdate here but it'd just be "hey guys situation normal Eda's a bit of a douche as ever hope you're well" so I'll spare you the monotony :v

About Inappropriate Comments...
Posted 9 years ago
Firstly, no fingers being pointed here, so don't feel this is aimed at anyone in particular :V
Now, I get it, I'm a bit of a sexualized artist who's primarily known for fetish work, mostly in the realms of body modification. Trust me, I don't draw it for my health by any means - but, what does get my goat is people making inappropriate comments on non-mature-rated artwork.
Art sites have a rating system for a reason, not everyone wants to see the dirty! Which I appreciate, respect, and uphold as a moral value. Shit, I don't even hand over my sketchbook without pre-warning folks there's some murky waters ahead!
So when I start seeing a worrying trend of comments inappropriate for the rating, I feel the need to act...
If it's an M-rated piece, sure, tell me how hard your weenis gets at those big pecs and how much you yern to copulate with the imaginary animal man on your screen - honestly, I won't give a shit, and you're talking to the wrong person if you think you'll get anymore than an awkward silence.
HOWEVER if it's on a NON-MATURE, NON-ADULT related piece I am going to be indiscriminately hiding the comments of an overtly sexual nature...
"oh boy that's hot" is fine,
"wow he's handsome!" also fine,
"oh damn that girl got some curves!" that too, is fine,
"JESUS SHIT LORDS MY THROBBING ERECTION YERNS FOR RELEASE" nah m8 tbh, you get that shit outta here.
YOU'VE BEEN WARNED, NO BITCHING ABOUT IT
Just a little PSA for future reference C: back to drawing buff animalpeople for mmmeeeeee~

Experimental Coloured Bust Commissions? CLOSED
Posted 9 years ago
CLOSED FOR THIS INITIAL EXPERIMENTAL BATCH THANK YOOOUUU
I'm starting to get back in to the swing of things art-wise. Want to try out something new between the big digital projects I've got going on.
Would anyone be interested in a coloured stylized waist-up like this one I did of Rayle?
I'm thinking £23 for this first one as an initial experiment.
Just comment here to claim and we'll talk shop girls and boys of all shapes and sizes welcome, price won't rise for wings or the like as honestly they'll be mostly clipped out the image!

On The Year's Decline
Posted 10 years ago
August/September seem to be the worst time of year for me over the past few.
It used to mean going back to school, in receny years I've worked a whole month for free, had to run away from a job because the boss was in £200000 of debt, been rejected from my dream job because I like being conversational, and now this year an amazing woman and auntie I feld dear died, and then my mother's decided to run away from home...
Everything is okay, I'm not worried because this has happened before - it's highlighted that I may need to cooperate with my stepfather on getting her some professional help but we know she'll come back with her tail between her legs. My step-dad's an ass at points, but he does support her...
Anyway YEAH that's where I've been recently, been having a rubbish month. If the patten's right November onwards things will pick up
Hope all of you are well, sorry for being a little slow with my art!

How To Be A Butt (Commission status)
Posted 10 years ago
I've had to slow down a little with artwork recently. Started up a new job as a hotel receptionist, it's full time and I'm still adjusting to it all - doesn't help we have more hours right now than normal!
Long story short I'm home alone for 2 weeks meaning all chores and cooking fall and in those two weeks the hotel is having a massive refit, not to mention we're short staffed for the duration of the refit - beacuse of all this where I should be getting 2-3 days a week off I'm getting 1 at the best and multiple 16-hour shifts in a row. Some shifts I'm getting home and going directly to bed, waking up and going right back out the door!
While most of the works I've got to do are sketched up that's as far as I can get with them while I'm at work, was thinking of using my Surface Pro for drawing but the damn thing's wifi adapted hardware died the other day so I'm stuck with a sketchbook.
This is just a little journal to let you know I'm still working on your stuff! I'm sorry for the delay here ;A;
