Whatever holiday you guys celebrate, I hope you all enjoy it. And a happy New Year guys~

Well, I just got back from my mom's doctor's appointment, and her cancer is basically at the level of her cancer is incurable, and the chemotherapy she would be put on would only slow it down. So right now, I'm a little numb from the reality that my mother is dying and I'll be very much alone in this world.
The reason for the title is because my dad died when I was 6, in front of me, in December. My dog was also put down on this month as well. So yeah, I'll still be here, trying to ignore what's happening a little bit.

I'm note writing this journal for sympathy, just to get it out of me.

My commissions prices. If you want one, send me a note, and I'll get right on it.

Base prices:
Sketch- $15
Ink- $20
Flat- $25
Shaded- $30

*Background- +$10
*extra characters- +$5 ea (up to flats, becomes $10 afterwards)

Hey all; how is everyone doing~?

So things have calmed to a lull here, so I think I'll leave you guys with an update.

So my computer is seemingly working fine now, but my laptop is starting to break on me...so I will need to get a new one eventually. (The audio has been uninstalled, takes 30+ min to load up, and is a refurbished model, so I have no way to fix it)

In other news I'm going to be setting up my prices and open up commissions. If you want one, send me a note, and let me see if I can take it on.

Base prices:
Sketch- $15
Ink- $20
Flat- $25
Shaded- $30
With Background- $40
*extra characters- +$5 ea (up to flats, becomes $10 afterwards)

I do a 3x upcharge for porn, and I might turn them down if they get overly complicated. I dont draw gay art and extreme fetishes; it's not something I'm good at.

Hey all~

I'm sorry for not responding much or anything; I have been getting accustomed to my new job. It pays okay, but it leaves me almost drained when i get home.

Sadly, I was just about set on what I should price my commissions when my desktop decided to go on the fritz and blue screen and everything. So my computer is going to get inspected and isolate the problem and hopefully fix it. So I'm not going to be able to set up prices anytime soon.

And that's basically All I've been doing these past few weeks. How're you guys doing?

If I were to open up commissions, would anyone be interested?

My goodness am I bored out of my mind! D:

And I realized that I haven't updated my journal in forever. So, I figured, to anyone who're watching me, recent or not, if you all have any questions you wish to ask me, go right ahead and I will try to either answer them or post another journal to answer them; whichever strikes my fancy.

Hey all, how goes it?

I am bored out of my mind and suffering a bit of art block, so, I'm going to start posting sketches I haven't posted yet.
I dunno know if I should color them or not, but I'm gonna just throw them out there.

In other news, my very aggravating brother is trying to get me into Magic.

Anyway, I'll talk to you guys later

I dropped my Black version!

What? I'm alive...? yes yes, I survived a car crash on Christmas; now help me find my Pokemon game.

Huh? Where have I been? I've been home a lot, drawing. Just, everyone don't move; that game is around here.

Hmm? Why haven't I been posting drawings recently? Scanners breaking down on me. now please, help me look.

Wait-what? get another Black version? Are you serious!?! I just got my hands on a dream world Vulpix; I ain't gonna start from ground zero from how far I went!

Now, Help me look!

Hey everyone~ Sorry for not posting anything recently; I haven't been doing very much, besides trying to find work. (it's very bad here) Also, the humidity started hitting my area, and makes my head all stuffy and not in a very artistic state of mind... Hopefully, I'll be able to finish a few things and get them up here and out of the way.

Okay, a friend of mine has been irking me for a while now with Pokemon. He really wants to beat me at the last game that both of us play; he's beaten me in everything else... Though this is a small thing and even if i beat him, he'll just shrug it off, I really want to knock him down a peg or two. Anyway, he just told me his team, and even though I have some ideas on handling it, I would like some extra ideas and opinions.
This is his team: metagross, mamoswine, galvantula, chandelure, archeops, and kingdra.

please feel free to ask me questions and whatnot; I've been bored out my mind.

Also, i just gotta to ask: has anyone gotten a vulpix in the dream world yet? Because there is little to absolutely no chance I'll be able to get myself one within this year... If anyone does, I wouldn't mind trading; just let me know.

I hope everyone has been doing well lately~

If you hadn't noticed, I've been playing pokemon and looking for work, and this has severely hampered on my drawing time. In case you guys were wondering, I have pokemon black (almost all my friends have white) and I feel like broadcasting my friend codes and what not. Also, I feel a need to improve with conveying my stories better; and not just in my drawings, my writing as well. Maybe I'll start posting some of Sol's story for everyone to read, I'll have to think about it. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well.

Anyway, here's my pokemon friend my code:
5114 3646 3982
[just let me know your guys' codes in return please]

*BTW:

I am having a hard time with choosing 1 pokemon out of the following groups-

set 1:
ninetales vs. arcanine vs. chandelure

set 2:
lucario vs. scrafty vs. mienshao

Set 3:
sceptile vs. torterra vs. serperior


Any ideas or opinions? TAT i feel so indecisive.

Holy. Freaking. God. Yesterday had got to be (for me) the most painful day I could possible imagine.
This is even worse than a certain day I wish not to take about.
Warning: Venting
Okay, three(-ish) days ago, the money our uncle sent us came; however, instead of the amount we asked we got half of it. I mean WTF?!? *sigh* Anyway, we cash it and use it on bills and such to stabilize our situation. Now, today, we find out that the check bounced!!!! W.T.F.
So now my mom had to wire money out of her Retirement just to keep us from the red. And we're getting crap from our uncle about "well, why did you cash the check?!? You said you were gonna hold it for a week!" But he doesn't understand shit! We needed the money now! And we were told by our trust-fund handler that he had more than enough of the funds!! And on top of that; our handler wired the funds directly to his account. Why does our uncle hafta write us the checks?!? Answer: He demanded to be the only one to handle our money; though the papers say my mom is supposed to co-sign the checks as well, but apparently it's been overridden. And the funds aren't big enough to fight them with an attorney. And on top of that, if we got our money directly from the trust-fund, Our Fucking Bank refuses to honour the check!!!!
Now to make things worse!! 3pm, we get a phone call. Now they say my little brother isn't even going to graduate!!! And they're telling us this two fucking days before the walking ceremony!!!! *fucking trying to hold it together*
You now have a taste on how royally screwed my entire life is, and my best friends doesn't seem to get how bad we have it and how good they got it; I don't think they ever will. Such amazing friends I have don'cha think?
Also, I will forever despise these situational responses: "It'll all work out" ; "Prove them wrong" ; "Dude, you need to help me out(money-wise)"
I am so fucking stressed, distraught, and sick of everything right now; especially those who think I need a little more "reality" in my life!

Okay, now that that is outta my system for the time being, I am dropping prices on my commissions~ Take a look at the prices here and cut them in half~ Also, if you wanna get ahold of me, you can either drop me a note, an e-mail, or find me on skype or msn~ (both are foxfencer)

That's right~ I'm opening up commissions~
See, here's the rub. I( out of the three of us) am the only one with a job; and I don't make enough to cover even rent; let alone food, electricity, etc.. We were surviving off of survivors benefits, but they stop this month. Also, a trust fund is set up for us, but we can't get to it; because our uncle is the "only" beneficiary, though my mum's supposed to be as well. Seriously, this is a fight between staying in an apartment, or being evicted with nowhere to go. I am beyond stressed as to the situation and I need an outlet, and that's where the commission idea came from.

Anyway, I've never really set prices before, so I'm keeping them negotiable for conventional reasons~
The prices are set pretty high, I know~ It's due to the severity of the "bind" we're in...You can still haggle with me...

COMMISSION PRICES
Remember: All prices are not definitive~

Sketches~ (I still have two free sketches open)

I, for one, don't like these prices. That's why you guys can haggle.

GUIDELINES
1. Please, no smut. I have my reasons. I will draw romantics(like hugging, snuggling, kissing, etc.)and the such; but smut is a no, always.
2. There will be 5 slots open at a time~
3. Anything goes. Just remember; I'm not an expert on art; I still have a long ways to go.
4. Feel free to post the finished piece on your page~ It’s your picture, do with it what you will. Just be sure to give me credit, please~
5. If you wish, I can send you a WIP so you can inform me on any changes you see fit.
6. Remember, my family is in a crisis. So, until then, I cannot refund your money if you don't like it. Afterwords, I'll be more lenient about it~ Also, if it's perfectly plausible, I will listen and consider it~

PAYMENT
I would prefer Paypal, just for the convenience~
How it works:
*Drop me a note telling me what you would like~ If I confirm it, I will ask for half the price up front~ And after the piece is finished, I will ask for the other half~

If you guys need me, I'll be worrying over here...
