This is important, and desperate, I hate that this happened after already asking for help here a few times already. This whole situation is a mess. Please spread this around if you can.

Edit: I've managed to get some income support to help with this month's bills.

Its my birthday today (the 11th). Yay
I have plans to do a few things tomorrow so that should be nice at least.


Everything else is kinda negative, just a fair warning.



As for the rest, I got screwed out of my new job and have a sprained back, from having to move out in a rush, almost entirely by myself. I'm living alone again in a new place. I only have enough to pay for bills next month right now, and a little bit of gas money.

I have no income, I can't work because of my back and I don't know when I go back to work yet.
I don't know how long medical insurance will take to help me out.

I just returned from getting a new prescription for my back because the one I had was making me very mentally ill. So I wasted money I didn't really have on prescriptions I was told to not even touch anymore. I have no coverage so I have to pay it out of my pocket. Including the one I have to get tomorrow.

I'm with the food bank now, but they can only help somewhat, I have a councillor come Wednesday hopefully too.


Probably the least favourable position I've ever been in, but I'm gonna have to figure it out somehow.
Everything is just going to shit for me.This year just hates me and won't let me catch any kind of break.

I know I asked for help near the end of July, but my situation is now even worse then it was then. I completely and totally appreciate everyone who helped me at that time as well.

I hate asking for help like this, but this is the kind of situation I absolutely need to. I can't even buy milk right now without it breaking my budget.

So if anyone is willing to help me out, I would more then appreciate it.

I got the job I had the interview for, everything is going to finally start going back uphill from here. It'll be a tough learning curve but I plan to go at it the best I can.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8334854/

Just wanted to thank people for the help in my previous journal. It took a few days to transfer for me to use it but I was able to get a decent amount of groceries and have the rest waiting to be used for future groceries. This will make a huge difference for me. Thank you.

I did end up with an interview yesterday, and I was told I would find out by sunday if I have it, so I'll keep this up to date.

I really didn't want to ask this but, my living situation is starting to get really bad. I have run into terrible bad luck this year. From getting screwed out of my initial job and spending most of this year trying to get enough hours from various jobs to pay for all my bills. I was getting like 12-16 hours most of the year with bills up to 1100 a month. I'm getting more hours now but they're not enough. I'm making exactly what my bills are, every month where I work right now.

Over the past half a year I've lost 25 pounds from barely eating to make sure that I have enough for bills, and come August, unless some other part time job turns up to give me enough income, I'm not gonna be able to stay living at my current place or anywhere.
I've been in search of room mates for me moving elsewhere, and I've been putting out at least 15-20 resumes a week but I'm just not getting anywhere.
I'm under contract for all my bills too so I can't cancel any of them.

I only wanted to ask for help if things started getting bad.

I can try to do doodles or something else to try to give back to anyone who helps me out.

I hate asking for help like this since I tend to try to do everything on my own, but I'm at the point that even a little bit of help would make all the difference.

Thanks for anyone who reads this, I know I'm not active here anymore. Anyone who might be willing to spread this around would really help me out.


Anything is appreciated. It's all for food so it'll go to good use.

If my situation changes I'll post another journal.

I'm not very active here anymore, I can be found on discord as Trauron#2602 or on telegram as just Trauron.

I have a ton of unposted stuff I probably won't ever post, at least for a while until I feel like being active here again. -w-

25. Car insurance goes down. Yay :V

I just got off the phone with my new landlord, and I am going to get into my own place by myself on the 6th of March.

I've already paid my first month and deposit.

I'm pretty happy right now. Finally going to get to live on my own.

Just being annoying.

15 minutes off, but close enough.

Birthday. Yayyy :U

Pretty well still on my hiatus on FA, I still check submissons but I don't really post anymore.

I'm available on twitter, Steam, Skype and telegram as Trauron if I need to be reached.

Also nothing really planned for my birthday, just wanted to mention it cause I am happy about it.

I've been offline and not around too much the past week or so cause of being really busy.

Honestly, its been so good for my mentality. Not having to worry about people ignoring me all the time or being left alone, or being bitched at for being depressed.

It helps that I had a new room mate move in recently in the basement, and things have gotten a lot more active in the house. In general though I've gotten a better outlook on things recently and part of the problem I've always had is trying to get people to socialize with me online.

I'm done with that, at least for now. You can still try to poke and contact me and I might be there to reply, but I am for sure not going out of my way to contact anyone on my own time. I'm going to try my best to make myself happy, by myself.

Which means I probably won't be on FA very much for a while either. So that is that.

If you want to contact me, you know where to find me.

If not, the easiest way is Telegram, under the name Trauron. Twitter under the same name as well.

Might be some TMI.

I haven't been feeling well for a few days, and yesterday it just got so much worse. I tried to go to work but I ended up vomiting and being barely able to move, so I went home from work.

I ended up vomiting blood and I kept having to run to the bathroom, with my bathroom looking all black and watery (TMI SORRY)

So I ended up waiting and being at the ER for 6 hours to figure out what was going on. They are more then sure that I have a stomach ulcer, and the are going to do an endoscopy today or sometime soon through a surgeon outside of the hospital.
Updated: I'm not getting the Endoscopy until monday. FFS.

The bad part is I am out of work for an entire week with no pay.

So I would appreciate any moral support while I work through this. I am not the type to ask for financial help or anything like that so I won't be doing that. This is my own problem and I won't ask people to fix it for me.


I may try to open for commissions if I can get myself well enough to draw. Right now I'm tormented with constant headaches.

I just worked 9 days in a row, then I only had one day off, and now I am working 7 more days in a row. 5 more to go.

I'm also currently sick.

I'm pretty useless when I'm not at work right now. I really need to find a new job.

Depends on how my plans for the evening play out, but It'll probably be around 8pm EST.

I'll keep everyone posted for if its happening or not.

Need to get away from things, people, negativity based around feeling ignored.

Need to do stuff for myself, get more focused on more important things.

I will still be on here, and work on art and all that other stuff. I just won't be on Steam, Skype or Twitter at all.

I will be available on Hangouts (Trauron@gmail.com) and Telegram (Trauron) for the time I won't be available by other means.

All Prices in USD.

All profits I make are going towards my savings, for saving up for a vehicle and other important life stuff.

I want to get a picture for myself to cheer myself up a bit because of my current foot issues I've been going through. (Not any better yet by the way)

I admit I'm kind of picky when it comes to artists and I have a specific size and style in mind.

I'm looking for someone who can draw my otter pretty buff.

My featured submission is a good reference for that: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14017474/

I want to get something adult though. Hyper. x:


Just figured I'd put out a journal and see if I could get some nibbles that way, having a hard time looking around for anyone.

https://twitter.com/Trauron/status/.....384258/photo/1

I make glorious pizza.

So don't exactly know what the problem is yet, but I am not able to walk on one of my feet without having huge shooting pain go up my foot. So I have been walking around with a cane.

Hospital mentioned something about how it might be something to do with my nerve along the top of my foot. Pinched or swollen or something? My actually foot isn't swollen or red. Right now I have to wait until I can get an ultrasound on tuesday before I can start to figure out what is wrong.

Hospital is making me take a week off work. I am going to be taking out all of my vacation pay and using that to keep my pay cheque from being completely shut down from me not being able to work. So hopefully it won't screw up my saving plans. Just means I won't be able to take it out when I go to take an actual vacation eventually.


So if I'm not in the best of spirits for a little while, you know why.

So since I have a couple of days off starting today, and I need to draw more, I'm going to do this really crazy project over the next couple of days.

I went through my friend's lists on skype, steam and google hangouts in order to compile a list of 50 people to draw
Then took 50 random emotions from: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jma56byvd.....AIcPE.jpg?dl=0

I made them into two seperate lists and used random.org in order to randomize the two lists.

For those who are interested in the list, you can look at it here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tvloamxr4.....ject..pdf?dl=0


So over the next two days I am going to try and run myself through as many of these as I can, trying not to spend too much time on any particular one. I was thinking maybe 20 minutes per person.

I was just planning to do headshots, and the occasional torso if needed to really portray the emotion I am going for.

I've honestly not kept up with my practice lately with drawing and this is to really push me back into it.

I'd be suprirsed myself if I managed to get through the entire list.


I may very well stream all of them, I'll keep everyone posted on that aspect.

If I don't reply or I seem distracted over the next couple of days, you'll know why.

This is a quickfire round, I'll pick someone at 7pm MST (its 5:45 right now) Edit: Extending time to 7:30

Numbers between 230 and 280


Probably another headshot, or possibly body for the winner.

 TruentYena Wins this round

Need to draw after work in a few hours. Number between 1 and 50.

Head shot sketch, maybe with torso.

Might do more then one. My discretion for who I choose besides the person who gets the right number.


Number was 44, I picked who was closest

I've been trying to take drawing a bit more seriously, especially over the past month (save for around christmas since I was really busy, among other things)

I unfortunately have a lack of people whom I can actually just talk about for advice or just in general about artistic stuff. I'm still re-learning a lot of basics and discovering things and would really love to have people whom I could nerd out with about things I'm learning, while also getting the push and shove that I need to keep myself drawing.

I'm Mainly artists that are significantly/drastically better then me, like a mentor or something I guess. If that makes sense. People who understand things that I don't artistically.

I only know a handful of artists and most of them don't really have the time to sit and talk to me about little things or point me in the right direction with things I might not be perceiving properly. If that makes sense.

I'm still struggling with just drawing heads but I still find it fascinating and would again, love to know people who can maybe even voice chat and discuss things with me or even on occasion watch me to draw or let me watch them draw.

I'm mostly just rambling on and just saying it would be nice. I feel like I am coming off as selfish on the subject though. x:

Anyway, that's all I was wanting to post about.
