So I was sitting there, playing Dissidia, sprawled out on my bed. And I was playing for a good while. I looked up and noticed a cayute little ladybug sitting on the edge of my psp. "Aww little guy you're trying to be warm." I croon, putting him on my desk. As I lean over, I notice about a dozen starting to crawl up the wall at my desk, and I glance up and there are six on my light, and another nine or ten on my bedspread. There was one on my chair...six or seven more on the crab tank, and then I notice there is a SEA of them on my carpet! Apparently they just hatched as the sun went down and feel a need to swarm my room for aphids that aren't here. Someone. Save me. I can feel their little eyes watching me. Like they're waiting for me to die. So they can eat me. :/ And I'm not even done with WoL's ...grah now they're on my keyboard T_T

CALENDAR:

I STILL NEED TWO MORE PRE-ORDERS. LINE-ARTS as promised below~ EXAMINE and perhaps buy. Because I'mma be sad if there aren't enough people. T_T Color begins when I am through with my lines. :3

These calenders can be yours AT COST for 9.99 each plus shipping and handling. HOWEVER! They will be preorder only, and to get that price, I need to take at least twenty orders(otherwise they cost more T_T). If you want a calender and you want to get it at 9.99 each plus shipping (Which should be cheaper for multiples) then twenty of you need to order. I know these will make fun christmas presents, and at cost is my gift to you for being such awesome viewers and friends ^_^ So! Since my prints normally sell for ten dollars each, how can you go wrong with 13 for the price of one? :3 Make some noise and let me know you're interested so I can get started. Yes, This will be availiable most likely at the LATEST on the first week of december. I'm actually thinking middle to end of November <3


BADGES:

Also, for what it's worth, these are the badges I'm offering this year <3 : Should you not be able to live without one now they are three dollars a piece plus shipping and handling, breaks on shipping for multiples


COMMISSIONS CERTIFICATES!:

Also! For christmas I will be offering for sale 40.00 commission certificates. Great to give as a gift or for yourself. A commission certificate guarantees the owner one full color digital artwork of their choosing as long as it follows my commission rules. This is a pretty awesome deal since my base price is normally 50-70 so there you are <3 You tell me who the commission is for, and who to expect an email from and you buy them the certificate. I will mail you the certificate to give to them as a present <3 Postage of the certificate to you is free. All certificates will be redeemable after January 1, 2010


TLDR/Recap:

1- Badges are done. 3.00 a piece + shipping and handling if you want.
2- 40.00 Commission certificates are availiable this year get 'em now!
3- CALENDERS. 20 of you need to preorder or you cannot get the awesome price (or a few of you ordering more than one ^_^)

Booya! I'm exhausted! ^_^

My mommy won the nationals <3 She can now compete internationally. After refusing to breed dogs with genetic faults and flaws, and spending a year being ostracized for putting a stop to inhumane and un-ethical breeding practices in our home state, she finally got the recognition she deserved from the international bordercollie society and help to keep the breed safe. She won best of bred by with a very young bitch and I am so happy for her. She beat all the odds, and has done something really positive for the breed in the United States. Go her.

Sorry for no art today. Kinda felt like I was going to die. Hopefully the morning will be better and I can get back to work x.x

If there are any long multichapter FMA EdxRoy post anime series FMA fictions other than my old ones and Sky_Dark's? Can you reccomend any? I await with baited breath!

So since I'm really freaking depressed worse than I normally am in January, I'm going to go buy a full spectrum light bulb for my desk. I really think it might help. If I have any luck with it, I'll let you know where I got it, how much it was, what seems to help the most, and if I see any improvement. If you're an artist and you watch me and you live in a state with no sunlight to speak of, it might be helpful information (artist? depression? NEVAR) :3 I am off to turn myself into a guineapig. (I also heard it boosts your immune system, especially if you're like me and have an IGA and IGG 2/3 Subclass deficiency x.x; let's see what it does to major depressive disorder too while we're at it lofl )

I updated the comic today.

I completely wasted my time opening commissions apparently. I have a very nasty taste in my mouth about it. IF I offer any again, it will probably be in December, that is, if I don't start just opening them at conventions. I'm a little disappointed, TBH. More than anything I hate wasting my time offering to have people just stare blankly at me. I'm sure there are a lot of disinterest, excuses and people too hungry for art. I just don't like wasting my time even offering. Commissions are closed. Disinterest is clear. I may not offer again, I have to decide if I wanna bother. -.-

Comic is up and running, will update every Sunday, with a little luck. More fanart and original art are up, and I am gearing up for conventions. Lots of badgemaking and such, so expect a lot more art to show up oh say, every sunday. Commissions open 10-1-09, five slots, five reserve if need be. That is all. I think this is my favorite month of the year <3 Happy early halloween! -gets back to work-

Three more pages of comic and some back page updates should be showing up tomorrow. Will make an entry for it when I do. Two new pieces of art will be added to the gallery. Commissions will open OCT 1 so if you know someone who wants one tell them to keep an eye out. Between then and now it will be me finishing up some past private original linearts of my own, which will be added up here as soon as I get'em done. I also have my badge punch on it's way to me, and plans for a Turks badge series and a Kingdom Hearts badge series. Keep your eyes open, coming soon. <3 More as I get time lol.

I've been quiet, so that can only mean one thing. I'm even busier than normal. I have 160 or so badges ready to go, and bookmarks, and that's just the beginning. There are also miniprints and soon to be some actual paintings when my art desk is finished.

Now the real kicker is between working constantly outside, I reworked my comic. The first six pages I recolored in the last two days, and I'm starting all new pages full color tomorrow. It's been keeping me on the run. The good news is once I get a decent start on it, it will be three or so pages a week maintenance versus the life and time sucking bitch it is right now. The faster I work though, the faster it gets done and I can go back to my regularly scheduled fan art and original art.

So don't give up, I'm not dead.

Also, I won't be posting this on Y! or DA. I don't trust the thieves on DA and I have wimminz and aminals in it so it can't go y!. Bummer :/ Oh well, more excuse to visit my page, yes? Yes. And before you go looking, no, the comic isn't up yet despite having a lot of it started. I promised not to update my page until there was NEW stuff to see too. Will let you know when that happens <3

xOgrayfoxOx: So I have a funny true story of despair for you, that turned to triumph
Ni: Oh?
xOgrayfoxOx: Okay so I was laminating yes?
Ni: Mm hm
xOgrayfoxOx: And suddenly this fucked up FILM appeared on everything
xOgrayfoxOx: I checked my temperature, made sure I was on the right MIL and stuff
xOgrayfoxOx: I tried letting it cool between badges, I tried putting it up so high it was making them curl, anything to make it go away
xOgrayfoxOx: I resigned myself to the fact that all my stock was ruined, and settled into drinking.
xOgrayfoxOx: Dad came into the living room and saw me bottle in hand head on the table and asked me what was up and he thought about it a minute.
xOgrayfoxOx: and then he emits these words of genius:
xOgrayfoxOx: "Well, maybe it runs them too fast, you tried just cranking it as high as it goes and putting your wrecked ones through again?"
xOgrayfoxOx: And I scoffed, he is after all, technologically impared. I figured "Fire" would ensue,
Ni: I thought that might be the solution. ^^
Ni: Mine does that sometimes, too. X3
Ni: lol
xOgrayfoxOx: Then I figured I could try it and if it caught fire I could pour the whiskey on myself and lean in and pull a buddhist monk
xOgrayfoxOx: but damned if they didn't straighten right up
Ni: LOL
xOgrayfoxOx: of course I spent so much time drinking my despair away that they are only half done
xOgrayfoxOx: but fuck it
xOgrayfoxOx: it got fixed
Ni: lol
xOgrayfoxOx: I told my dad I loved him a million times quite drunkenly
xOgrayfoxOx: dont worry I'm sober now
xOgrayfoxOx: mostly
Ni: *snicker*

So far now, I've only lost ONE now and that one I pulled out of the garbage and didn't know it had salad dressing on it and it caught fire and melted x.x There was other horrible family stuff and government stuff, but it was all rolled into one day so I'm trying to forget it for the rest of the night. I'll finish the rest up first thing in the morning since now I know the trick and then it's BACK TO BEING A TABLET SLAVE, and maybe putting some linearts in here and there for water coloring. <3 I also ordered my biodegradable bags for my mini-prints. Someone save me, my hands are bleeding from cutting out badges x.x

Is going to be done in full color. Yes I am aware that is possibly suicide. I just feel it will be truer to what I'm going for to do a full color comic.

Things I am too lazy to put up on my website but are done! Lol. I should kind of keep a list here as I'm working on things so when I go to update I can remember what is new that I wanted to post up to the site!

Waiting for people to finish their ends of the dating sim stuff, need to finish two more art trades, and I have three more back fanarts to color before I move to coloring my goddesses. I need to line my god's series, and the web comic has been planned out including fixes to my first few pages that need to be made. Then if I clear a little time and space I need to make color character design and some original art of my boys and....then. THEN I can finally do some water color paintings and whip out a few more badge designs. 'm bustin butt as fast as I can to get things done. Anyone think I should re-open commissions next month? At the latest I'll open them in November I guess. People are bound to want christmas gifts for themselves and others.

That's about it!
Peace

Back from holiday, will hopefully start coloring again in the morning.

-smooch-

Taking off for the next two days or so. All of you with art trades with me, I will finish them as soon as I get back. This little vacation will be spent with friends, doing some knitting, and plotting out and laying out more pages for my web comic. I am so close to finally catching up it makes me happy <3 Anyway. Also FYI.

Y!GALLERY IS DOWN/OUT/UNDER MAINTENANCE.

You didn't get banned. I have no idea when it will be back up, but you didn't get terminated, unless the last thirty or so people I talked to got terminated. LOL. So take it easy and I'll see you when I get back. Leave me a message if you need anything.

-M

COMMISSIONS ARE CLOSED.

Commissions are closed. Two people expressed interest but never got back with me, if you still are interested please note me. Otherwise I am closing them for now.

I had to move very suddenly. Over the last two days to be precise. After tomorrow everything will settle down except that I am at my dad's again and that...is not fun. But I'm needed here, and it let's me try and pay off some student loans. I am really stressed out and tired, but I also cannot escape my desk anymore, so hit me up for commissions lol. I'll let you know about how I feel about being back here later. I'm trying to talk myself out of stupid things, so keep me busy for the love of puck!

PS, if I posted a "picture a day" in a daily journal sort of thing, would you guys be interested in that sort of thing?
