1 Slot - Big Scenic Experimental Commission [CLAIMED]
Posted 10 years ago
[CLAIMED NOW GUYS KTHXBYE]
Recently I've done a lot of very character-orientated pieces with the monosketches.
After doing some scenes for
renarddefleureax's story I want to try something a little more scenic.
So I'm offering you lot my first ever Experimental-Fuck-Off-Detailed-Background-Scenic commission! (or F'Off for short)!
1 slot
Big piece, 1 character as a basis, complex background, may take a while.
Something like this for example!
Thinking hard on the price because I don't want to undercharge or oversell myself, £75 as a starting point, extra details and characters will cost though!
A little bit of a restriction though: this is NOT for fetish work!
The character can be macro sized, really buff or fat, but I don't really want to make this fap material (I save that for the monoskeches).
With that said, note me if you're interested :U
Suddenly, birthday...

So I'm 23!...
... I feel old....
... That's all :U
Monosketch Commissions/Trades open!
Posted 10 years ago
So, after the stream the other night (I wasn't feeling it honestly) I've decided to do monosketches by commission!
What's on offer?
£15 for a full-body single-character mono-sketch
£10 for a waist up mono sketch
+£7 for an additional character
Examples!
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
I will check with you once the initial sketch is done if you're happy/want any edits. Payment is not required until the sketch is approved.
This is NOT me opening up for big commissions! I've got a few big ones still to do and want some work to break them up with - I've lost my mojo a bit on doing big commissions in all honesty, trying to keep the art muscles taught with these sketches.
I'm also good for trades if anyone wants one of these for art in return! Send over a note if you're interested~

This is Eda, signing off.
Christmas & Our Big News
Posted 10 years ago
Hope all of you out there are having a great time, whatever end of year festivities you're celebrating! We've had a great time over the past few days visiting London, seeing the local sights, being artsy monsters, wrapping and unwrapping presents, and gorging ourselves fat on chocolate
We've also got some pretty major news concerning our relationship status: I may have asked a pretty major to my coyote, and it's now official that I'll be moving to the USA
We're not sure of the when, but some day soon I'm going to make that woman Mrs. Monsterwolf!
So that's all from us; this trip has been some pretty big stuff for me! Still adjusting to my new status in the world, but I'm happier than ever ~ going to enjoy my last few days of snuggling with my now-fiancée
Happy holidays to you all! See you all soon ~
Holiday Plans
Posted 10 years ago
Just an FYI foy you all I've got
TheCoyote over with me until the 28th so you probably won't hear much out of either of us until after those dates.
We gun be hardcore snugglin' most of that time :U
Sorry to anyone I owe art to for the further delay: yeah, feel kinda shitty about not getting more stuff done, but honestly I have been super busy & me and Grave haven't seen one another in person since May so I hope you understand that we NEED to spend time together here.
If you need to contact me for any reason notes will do fine, any of you who know my twitter that also works - skype less so because I probably won't be logged in all that much.
Stay frosty people! Happy holidays to you all~

Shift Life (Commission Updates)
Posted 11 years ago
Would help if I added text here...
So I've been adjusting to working shift recently - ruined my sleeping patterns recently so I'm trying to adjust back to normality along with working in an entirely new industry.
Sorry for all the art delays! My list is looking kinda full now so no more new jobs until this lot is cleared down some

Job Not-So-Woes
Posted 11 years ago
Moving on the ranty journal from last week~
So for any of you who follow me you'll know for the past few months I had wound up managing a rather suspect company who's boss was deep in debt and didn't actually teach me anything. Very unpleasent life experience that saw me moving on to anti anxiety medication for the first time in my life!
And then the shite with the scientists but let's ignore that I've bitched enough on that point.
That's all over now, scored a job as a part-time barista at a local coffee shop (they're called Coffee #1 and their white hot chocolates are orgasms in a cup ) of which today is my first day! Things are looking up after the odd start in to the "real world" after being in education for just over 20 years~
Last week I kind of took off from reality: went up to Wales to see
KodiVoko for a few days of monging about on Zelda and sushi back in my university town, meeting up with
honey-may on the last day. Then spent the weekend getting drunk and playing DOOM with
UltraViolet!
It's been my week's holiday after all the shit before I get back in the saddle and hit the ground running - yeah, it's a min-wage part-time job but I think only 2 weeks of not having employment is a decent achievement also going in to a job role and company I WANT to be a part of and all.
I suspect I'll have a lot more free time for art now: I'm planning to try and do some voluntary work with the local hospitals or university to boost my labwork experience and maybe move towards a proper position that'll let me support myself financially - regardless, I'll have barista expereince for when I can finally move over to the USA with
thecoyote properly
Anyone waiting on a piece from me I'm sorry for the delay - tried to keep people in the loop and I hope I have been.
Remmeber you're always free to note or message me somehow if you're wondering how your piece is going or want an update/last-minute-change!
That's about all the life update for now - gonna be cracking on with art in my days off.

//RANT
Posted 11 years ago
So now I'm done crying and feeling shitty about existence I feel like having a good old fashioned fuckin' rant here.
NO I'm not looking for sympathy or a pitty party, I'm furious, I'm livid, I have NEVER been more fucking insulted in my entire life than the conversation I had today!
TL;DR people are judgmental cunts and I'm apparently "too keen" to work in the ever so fine art of genetics!
Long story: a few months ago a lovely lady who my dad had met through a pub social with his brother took an interest in the fact I wanted to get my ass back in to science; she had just finished up a PhD with the cancer sciences unit of a local university and wanted to know if I was willing to come to some voluntary work with them to get some experience in science again.
Of course I was thrilled! Cancer research was (WAS) one of my all-time work dreams, it's a subject I'm deathly passionate about and would give my left arm to be a part of the war against cancer! Anyone who knows me knows my previous job turned out to be ran by a rather sketchy individual, so recently I quit it so I could devote myself to learning science again and intergrate as part of their team. There was a potential paid position at the end of all this, one that I applied for just like everyone else and sat the interview like everyone else.
Something was up after day one: the lady I was working under seemed constantly agitated by my presence and generally unhappy working with me. I've been barely allowed to do any experimentation and practise, now I should add here I was more than happy to watch and learn but I was taking time out of my fucking day, getting up and leaving at 7am to catch a train and bike up a hill to LEARN, not sit around twiddling my thumbs. I offered up ideas to be proactive, asked if there was any extra ways I could help, apparently doing that was the WRONG thing to do!
The interview was where it all fell appart - yes, admitedly I cocked up the application form majorly, stress and sleep depravation didn't help but that's in the past and there's no excuse for some of the mistakes I'd made. What got me was during the interview I was told I "wasn't as good as I was making out in my CV", because I'd used some adjectives to big myself up (like what you're advised to do in job applications y'know...) I was being misleading in my experience and was shot down every which fucking way they could find to. It was a disgusting excuse for an interview!
For those of you who've seen The Apprentice UK there's a section at the end where the candidates have an "interview", one that's far more scathing and over-dramatized for ratings than any REAL interview for that sort of position would be. Well, the interview was pretty much exactly like that...
The real clincher came today: I was called for a meeting with the man who I met initially for the work experience, who proceeded to reiterate all the fears I'd harboured about the interview. The fact I was erronus in my application and "made myself seem more than I was"...
"When I look at your application I look at it as a scientist, and ask 'well what have you done to validate the use of those words?'"
Then was proceeded to be told I'm "too keen", how I'm "bothersome" to work with, the lady I've been working with has found me to be more of a pain than anything else because I dared to ask questions while we were working and they feel I would be "counter productive" to their team...
The bit that really hurt me though:
"How much longer would you want to keep up the work experience?"
Well of course I'd love to keep it up for as long as possible~
"Basically we need to discuss whether or not we can devote any more of Chantal's precious time to you. If you were getting the positon we'd be fine with you continuing but you're not so we don't think it would be benefical to us to continue having you in"
Thanks... Just... Thanks...
So there you have it, what has offically been THE worst day of my life!
Pardon me if I go drown my sorrows in copious levels of absinthe and rum...
/Rant over/
Minor Delays To Commissions
Posted 11 years ago
Just to keep you all in the loop: I have some pretty important job applications coming up soon.
It's going to delay me doing art just a little bit; finishing up this current job and going to do some voluntary work that'll hopefully lead on to a paid position with a local university's cancer research unit!
My priorities aren't quite on furry art at the moment (even though it's great for procrastinating with...) so please excuse if I owe you something and it's a little slow in coming.
I am getting things done slowly but surely!

Buff. athletic, chubby, normal, skinny, doesn't matter - I want your girls to draw!

Open For Two Commission/Trade Slots
Posted 11 years ago
Now I'm feeling better about life (I'll post a wee update below) I'm opening up for two commission slots!
Want to bring in some fresh ideas before I finish the current lot.
As ever, trades are accepted too, don't be affraid to ask!
Reply on here or note me if you'd like a slot, details of your commission should be sent via note.

boltsb full body cell shade - inking
davec discussing - not paid
If you have paid me for something and I have forgotten in PLEASE tell me! I don't do it intentionally, I'm just forgetful.
On to life things!
Quitting my awful current job, end date of October 14th, so there's an end in sight.
Parents are supporting me while I find a new job, honestly they're amazing and I would have had a massive breakdown without them.
As is my wonderful girlfriend honestly sweety, you give me a reason to wake up in the morning.
I have some work experience planned with a local university, basically teaching me some techniques so I can get back in to science with my train fare paid.
There's also the potential of a paid job or a PhD at the end of it all! Think I'd do the job first to build up experience and repor with the team.
So things are going well, not amazingly OMGTHISISLIFEONASILVERPLATTER but then again anything worth it should be fought for I feel.
That's my current situation, getting easier for me to draw again and not just come home and dissolve in to a panicy mess.
The anxiety is ebbing away, people aren't phasing me as much and I'm happier.
Thank you to all my friends who've supported me through the tough times much love to you all!

Halting Problems
Posted 11 years ago
"In computability theory, the halting problem is the problem of determining, from a description of an arbitrary computer program and an input, whether the program will finish running or continue to run forever."
Having a halting problem kinda best describes my life at the moment...
I hate my current job to the point it's making me ill.
My mother has had her savings gambled away by my stepfather for the second time.
Delays in my lifeplans.
Anxiety is starting to kick in.
On top of it all I'm waiting to hear back on a new job that may change my life over completely.
I am in somewhat of a state I won't deny,
Seeing the doctor about health issues tomorrow: constant taste & smell of iron, severe lethargy, persistent rashes...
But it's also been affecting my want to draw.
Had the big upload of stuff the other day, trying to plough through some more in my spare time.
But I'm revising my molecular biology again so I can get in to cancer research.
Something I've wanted to do for a very very long time and could set me up with my career path finally.
Thank you all for being so patient with me,
I know some of you have outstanding art with me, I am trying to get it done.
Just doesn't help the spark is fast fleeting recently.
Little life update, rant, thing, IDK.
Hope you're well! Will try to get some art done soonish.

Not dead (commissions closed)

Work Stresses
Posted 11 years ago
First week in this new job and I'm essentially having to reorganize the system and play it by ear until mid August.
Not happy, which means I'm not hugely in the mood for art recently, hence the big delays.
All of you I owe art, I've got it on a piece of paper stuck infront of my monitor.
I hate informing folks of delays, honestly.
Getting the Hurrydurries outstanding done, getting any artwork owed done, then it's only personal shit until this clusterfuck at work evens out.
People are cheap and like to abuse services as much as fucking possible...
And I'm desperately trying not to spoil the company name because one government organisation decided the ballpark is gonna change without notice!
(oh and because according to my boss we can lalala out all problems, life works like that now!)
Urgh, stressed monster... again, sorry for the delays.
I am never running a small business once I'm done with this...
Life, and it's delays.
Posted 11 years ago
Hey folks! Some delays on the arty side of things due to life being a bitch!
Situation normal really... New position at my work place that's essentially seen me become second in charge. Lots of responsibility, very stressful for someone like me but I'm adjusting.
Some major complications in my personal life: having to play mediator while my mum and step dad move house and the system making my plans a little harder to achieve.
Nothing worth it was ever easy to get though!
Sorry to all waiting on art, it is in the works!
Just a short update; hope you're all well!

Ink Drawing Commission? Art Trades? (Oh and holiday)
Posted 11 years ago
So I'm probably choosing THE worst time to advertise this with that convention coming up that I won't be going to however, next week I'll be on holiday over in the USA seeing my dearest Grave and so I'll have some spare time for traditional art.
Because of this, I'm going to offer up a few inked drawings like these:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
Offering these for £15 for full body drwaings, or £10 for a bust!
Or, should you want, I'm in the market for an art trade! Something of equal value, of course
Long Days & Delays
Posted 11 years ago
Of course the second I think my life is being too slow and I should be able to nearly focus on art work gives me constant 8-10 hour days! Up early, back late, tired as anything, blinking and it's passed bedtime...
Can only say sorry for how slow I've been on commissions, I have a huge amount of time with my sketchbook on the commute to work and then not so much with the PC when I'm home.
Will try to keep you all as up to date as possible with progress; again, sorry for the sluggish pace!
Commissions!
Posted 11 years ago
After a brief hiatus for experiments and getting my muse back so to speak I'm felling ready to do a few more commissions!
What am I offering?
Cell shaded pieces £20 for busts, £25 for full body
Smooth shaded pieces £23 for busts, £30 for full body
If you would prefer just shaded lineart with no colour or background £10-£20 depending on the content.
I'm not so confident with complex backgrounds still, however if you would like one we can discuss something.
A little note on themes. Recently I've been doing a lot of big, muscular male characters. While I enjoy drawing monstery, testosterone-pumped boys don't forget I can do more! Characters of all gender, species and body shape are welcomed!
I'm not restricting the number of slots in opening this time as I'm plain unsure how much attention this will get!
If you're interested stick a comment here or pass me on a note!

Escaping the White Void
Posted 11 years ago
As some of you may have noticed, my style is rather inconsistent!
From one piece to the next I tend to shift through different shading and colouring styles, attempting to bring that all important je ne sais quoi to my work.
Perhaps I just like to overthink things too hard, I'm not sure!
However I do feel I'm moving dangerously towards being a solely character artist, more to the point just engorged tits, ass, muscle and cock (aka generic furry porn...). Starting to feel stagnant with my ideas, my creativity is starting to lay in the realms of "how can I take this normal body and make it hypersexed?" which I know is only part of my creative ability.
I want to escape from the white void that's looming over all my work recently, start putting in more backgrounds and some more substance than just sexy poses and big anatomy.
That being said, I'm not going to stop said sexy poses and bloated anatomy!
I just want to branch out some more~
I'll be opening back up for commissions properly real soon I think, would like to do some more art for folks and it helps me and
save up for seeing one another later on in the year!
Speak of as such, we'll be doing collab' commissions real soon, so keep an eye out for that!
That was about the jist of it - I'm trying not to get caught in an artistic rut of sex-fuelled artwork, will be opening up soon, and will have collabs open with Grave too!
Incase of Sinking Ships (Obligatory Weasyl Journal)
Posted 11 years ago
Just incase FA blows up:
https://www.weasyl.com/~eda
I'm not going to exclusively post on either account, all art projects, commission crap and the like will be spread out between the two.
I don't condone some of the things happening on here, but nor am I going away.
I have too much of a fanbase on here and a website is a website at the end of the day.
It's free so I don't feel I'm exactly "funding" or "supporting" anything those in power do.
So... uh... that's it :U
Updates are a thing RIGHT!?
Posted 11 years ago
SO IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE DONE ONE OF THESE!
lolololol
Yeah a lot has happened since November last year; feels weird saying "last year" already, even if it's true.
Found a job, all be it not the greatest one it's taken me out of an uneasy situation and has left me the space to look for bigger and better things.
Some life things have changed, not going to divulge, if you knew about it you know what's changed.
All in all life is ticking over as per norm for me.
2014 started out a little shitty I'll admit, not new years as that was spent with some great company and great drinks, but overall I started the year a little lighter and a little lonely.
Hopefully the latter half of this year will see that change, ever onwards and upwards!
SO LOL I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU I'M PLANNING AN IRON ARTIST SOON
Then I remembered I need to make examples/tie up some loose ends.
Oh and there's this thing I need to revise and do tests for...
IT'S LIKE BEING BACK AT SCHOOL!
Sooo IA is probably looking at being February time-ish.
OHRITE
Like because of the FA drama recently I'll make a Weasyl soon and a separate TumblrrrRRRrrr for my artsy crap :U
Not leaving FA because too many people watch me on here; I should make more galleries anyway!
Futures
Posted 12 years ago
Recently, my situation has been in flux.
Coming out of university I wanted to find myself a part-time job, earn some money, get some experience actually working as opposed to being a student and living off loans.
Well, that was a naïve view: this industry makes you bend and scrap to work part-time at a pub.
Honestly? I just want the oppertunity to work right now.
Thankfully interviews have started rolling in, but it hasn't gone without panicing me some.
I've had a few situational changes too that haven't helped, primarily both parents being now out of work.
And now the job centre deciding to escalate on my case, being unfairly cracked down on because of a misunderstanding.
It left me for a while panicing that there was no end in sight and that the worst would soon happen.
I've been making a few life choices recently, taking a long hard look at what I have on my plate.
But sadly amoung the stress and panic I've not been all that artistic.
That, and the jobcentre aren't going to take "but they paid me £20 for a sketch" as an excuse to deviate away from work applications.
I am still working on everything I've got left to do, it's just taking a while because of other commitments.
(As ever if you're unhappy I will issue refunds if discussed)
Thank you all as my commissioners and watchers for supporting my art in the past and present.
Once I have some kind of employment, be that part time or otherwise, and am FINALLY away from those awful people at the jobcentre, I'll be able to get back to art properly.
Your patience means so much do me, especially in this time.
Thank you
