Sorry for being so unproductive this year
Posted 9 months agoI don't know what happened. I just locked up this year every time i went to try to draw or work on any sort of art.
Hopefully this next year will be better.

No table at FWA
Posted a year agoSo this year i won't be trying to get a table at the artist's alley at FWA. It's too much of a hassle, and there are people i want to visit with this year. Also, i'd like to spend a con just hanging out ^_^
I'll still be taking sketchbooks, so if you happen to find me feel free to ask! :)

So i've got the covid
Posted a year agoTested positive just now. Been feeling run down, coughing and sneezing, but testing negative until now. Bleh.
Of course, what with the hubby having it last week, i suppose it was only a matter of time till i caught it ^_^
Ah well, we made a good run without getting it, and it could be worse (knocks on wood).

4 new wood burnings
Posted a year agoFlash sale on wood burnings
Posted 2 years agoSo RL took a chunk out
Posted 2 years agoNot dead yet! But RL took my life in a few different directions, leading me to not be able to touch arts for a long many weeks.
I'm back in the seat, and trying to get back on track. But boy, it's tough getting back into the groove after so long :p
Anyhow, just a quick yap to say hi ^_^

Surprise toned commissions [CLOSED], Two Slots!
Posted 2 years agoI'm open for commissions again! First two to reply get the slots. Sorry for the sudden notice, but you know, things happen...
Once your place is secured, I'll note you back with relevant contact info and how I handle working with you on the piece :)
Toned tanned pieces are done on paper that is, as the name says, toned to a tanned color. I currently use greyscale color pencils and mechanical black lead pencil, along with blue lead and colored pencils, white color pencils and gel pens and paint, and whatever else around that catches my eye at the time.
Toned tanned commissions are:
$45 for single character.
$55 for two character, $65 for three
+$20 with close up/insert illustration.
Shipping is available after the piece is done!
It is a separate charge, billed after the shipment is made; is it not a flat rate, as I don't know how much it will cost to ship, and I don't want to overcharge for it. The cost of shipping is the shipping itself, plus $4 US for shipping materials and handling.
Thank you all :)

Fiddling with some Etsy settings
Posted 2 years agoAdopted two kittens
Posted 2 years agoSo we adopted two kittens into our house. They're rescues our sister was fostering, one orange, one black with some white markings. They're four months old and precious as hell.
They're already wandering the house and exploring, settling in nicely, though still puffing up when encountering our other two cats (of course, that will just take time). We're really happy to have them ^_^

I put up a few things up on Etsy to help with initial costs of brining them in, please check it out out:

And now he's gone
Posted 2 years agoWell, it finally caught up with Dib. We had to put him down today.
https://imgur.com/gallery/0wujwaM
He was the last of our OG kitties; we're down to 2 now. It's feeling pretty empty around here. I dunno how one of the cats is going to take it, he absolutely loved Dib, and was always snuggling up to him.
Sigh. Well, he lived a good life, and was a good kitty. It still fucking sucks tho.

FoxxFire FlyTrap wood burning Auction
Posted 2 years agohttps://www.furaffinity.net/view/53183412/
Aside from being an example of a two tone varnish (natural and gun stock), I'm putting this one-off wood burning of my character, FoxxFire FlyTrap, in the piece Blue Collar Worker, up for auction. It's on an 8"x10" basswood board, as mentioned varnished in two tones, and waxed.
(I will admit, half the reason i'm doing this is because my birthday is coming up in a couple weeks, and i'd like to spend money on something besides vet bills for the cats for once this year ^_^;; )
As always, thank you for your support :)
The auction will end this Thursday the 10th at 9pm EST! SB in comments.

Selling off some Furnation Magazines!
Posted 2 years agoAnd the clock ticks down for another kitty
Posted 2 years agoWe just found out that our oldest, Dib, has a type of lung cancer. Due to his age and extremely slight frame, there's not much we can do for treatment. Aside from the occasional coughing fit, he gets around all right. So, we're going to let him have a last few good months, then treat for any pain, and then...say goodbye.
Dib's been my buddy for 16 years now. He's that friendly orange cat that says hello to everyone, the ambassador to the house, the shoulder kitty, the lapcat. He's been the big brother to every other cat that we've brought in, the one showing them the ropes, bringing them in line, and giving them comfort. I just can't imagine the house without him.
And i'm...i'm just not doing ok with all this. These cats have been my companions as i've been shut in with my disability these past 13 years, and losing them in such rapid succession in these devastating ways, i just.. My art's dried up. I don't really do anything for fun, laughing is a foreign concept to me. And since i'm not done w current art, i can't put up new art comms to help w new vet bills, which we're burning plastic for, so i feel extra useless.
So yeah, that's how i'm doing here.
Y'all take care of yourselves.

Going to be at FWA!
Posted 2 years agoI'll be at FWA this weekend. No artist alley the first day, as i didn't reserve anything, but maybe the second or third day. I will take sketchbooks on random encounters however ^_^
Four Character YCH
Posted 2 years agoJust to give it its own journal ^_^
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51813494/
So we're wrapping up vet bills, from end of care to...the end :( ( https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10528206 ) We need some extra to help with all that, so I'm offering another one of these to the generous furs out there for help.
I'll handle these as full comms, with sketches, linework, color, etc, being sent back and forth for confirmation for each stage with the clients involved before heading to the next.
Detail laddering will run something like this, depending on bidding:
B/W - Flat color - Cell Shading - Background w/ Cell Shading - Texturing - Close-up Insert - I put the heels to it
The high bidder gets to pick the background. Tie, everyone picks a number, and i roll a die; closest w/o going over wins.
Your OC's, any of my OC's, and any company's OC's are fair game.
Bidding ends Saturday 22nd 7pm EST.
Bidding in comments. Thank you all very much.

And then he was gone
Posted 2 years agoWe're back from the vet's. Gravy's condition had gone down to where we finally had to put him down to sleep. It...doesn't get any easier.
We've lost half our pride in a year. In fact, it's almost to the day that Tak, Gravy's older brother, died, before FWA, a year ago. A four months ago that we lost Gaz.
It's one thing to have, like, one pet emergency/death per year. But three...that puts an emotional and financial toll that's, just, erf. Hard to get out from under.
The emotional one, we'll have to handle. But if anyone would care to help us with the financial, I've put up a four character YCH auction. Please check it out if you can, and if not, thanks for your well wishes instead.

Little effer's pulling through
Posted 2 years agoI would not have put any money on Gravy have still being around, but here he is! https://imgur.com/a/qdmmbEE
We've been giving him IV fluids every three days, and in the meanwhile, putting a little chicken broth in a bowl of water to get him to drink in the interim. Kidney friendly food of course.
And, ya know, cleaning up the occasional carpet bombing, as it were ^_^;
As for myself.. that's a different entry. But I wanted folks to know how kitty was doing :)
