COMMISSION PRICES
Note me if you want a commission of your character(s). I charge $15 digitally painted characters without a background. With background it would be $25. I can also do cell shading. Cell shading is also $15. For either digitally painted or cell shaded I charge an extra $6 for each additional character. For lineart I charge $10. If you want to color the lineart your self that is fine, but please make sure to link me credit for the lineart work that I did, and you must agree to my terms of not removing my name from the image. You are however welcome to move the name elsewhere on the image. Just as long as it's visible I'm just fine with that :3.

I am feeling comfortable enough today to write about something that happened to me recently. Im not sure if anyone knows what Shingles are, but its the dormant virus that remains in a persons body as a result of Chicken Pox. I had chicken pox when I was a very small child, but I have been under horrible stress lately, and though it isnt entirely proven that stress can cause Shingles but may be a cause, I believe strongly that the stress I had caused me to break out in Shingles. Shingles are a virus that attack the nervous system. Its horribly painful and leaves very red swollen marks on my left shoulder and my cheek and a few on my back. I NEVER GET ACNE PERIOD. But these painful things look like it. I have a very clear and clean complexion, so I am hoping honestly that I will not see any scars as a result. You cant see the marks in the images in my last pictures because the Camera doesnt pick them up
THANK GOODNESS. I wouldnt have posted the pics otherwise. There arent too many marks anyway, but AURRRG they hurt so bad when they first appeared, my fever was so high, my face was just burning inside and out D;
This happened a few weeks back during and a little before the move. I was so sick with a high fever, lack of appetite and fatigue, and I couldnt stand the light or to even be touched my skin was on fire. Sometimes I have random pains under my skin that cause me to scream bloody murder and cry for moments at a time until they stop because of this problem. I am happy to say that for the most part I am doing much better and they have since cleared up in my complexion, except for the scars they left on my left shoulder ;____; I just need to get my stress under control, that is one of my major concerns right now.
This has been one of the worst months I have had in a long time. Im going to admit here for a second that the Holidays sometimes stress me out, especially Christmas because this time of year I am busier than I normally ever am at any other time of the year, and with this move we still have to move a lot of stuff over from the old Apartment and the only thing that really relaxes me right now is working on ART. I LOVE ART.
We had to pay rent on TWO apartments, this new one and the old one because well LAWLZ the manager at the last complex were ripe with piracy and deceit and lies. Somzoffffffbeeeeeches. They told us they sent us three notices that we had until December to move because my husband made too much money to qualify for low income housing
. Well in realty, my husband is currently unemployed and hasnt been able to focus on finding work because of this moving business of ours. I am not entirely sure if the office was aware that my husband was unemployed, but we asked them that if his income were to decrease would we qualify and they said no even still, so hence that is why we moved here. I am glad we moved. This place is wonderful. I am not afraid here, it is quiet all the time and very peaceful and its not expensive. The last place was expensive, and it was hard to live there, so I dont imagine WHY my husband couldnt qualify when it was ready far more expensive at that place, where it is here, and the fact that wtf
How do other people manage to live there if their income is much lower? They are either starving or
I dont know. Maybe the management picks favorites. I dont know. I dont want to care, but I have to admit that I do.
Now on top of that this morning we see that we have oh, like 18 MISSED calls
I hate my phone. It is so old and it WONT ring half the time and wont notify us usually when someone leaves a message until a couple hours or even days later! So about this call, he received a message on the phone offering him a job position in Clerical work but this was Friday when the woman called. He was very stressed out this morning for having missed this important call and had to rush out today to take care of some important things and I stayed home this morning and worked on commission work ALL day. I am exhausted from drawing, but at least I am getting work done. Still however, very stressful week and month. Thankgoodness for the relief of working on art. I just love to be creative :3
So hopefully there will be good news for Ping this coming week for this new job and hopefully I can have some of the commission work finished. Its a slow process because I have to work with the client one on one and its a huge project. Meanwhile I am sketching out gift art for the following people:

and

Before I ink I will need

and

approval. Since :iconRainbowanst101: is Water and Metal related and not personal characters I wont need approval right away, so Rainbow angst you will be surprised I think with your request

The rest of the people waiting on the list I will have your sketches started as soon as I possibly can.
I am trying to do the requested pieces in order but since my husband bought me a new printer/scanner combo for an early Christmas present because I needed a new scanner terribly, I am trying to get the easiest requests first saving the more difficult for last. I hope this is ok with everyone. I will do my best to have the pieces finished by the end of the Month for all! One of my major concerns right now is the commission work that I am doing with

because there are 8 pieces involved with a lot of work on my part, so I hope to have the majority of that work finished by the end of this month also. It just depends really on how quickly I can make all the adjustments needed with the client.
I dont think that I am going to have time to do Holiday baking this year. I want to, but I am trying SO HARD to lose some more weight and without the sweets there, Im not tempted XD but it would be nice to send them off to my friends and well wishers. Ugh
I have to go rest my back now. We dont have a computer chair at the moment as we didnt want to bring our old desk over. So I am sitting on pillows on a small desk and the pillows hurt my back. Im going to go try and get some more sketches finished in the next hour and then probably go to sleep. I am so tired.
Happy Holidays all. The next journal I will be featuring again several deviants who need support, which will be this coming week that I will post it.

Peace out.

I've had enough of this life, I'm leaving. It's time to return to the Land of Dreams...
Another older woman I know is worse off for shingles. I will not spell it out, but I get a sense of the hell one goes through with the affliction.
Ease of your pain. Are you right-handed? You said "left shoulder". I hope you can always do what you love...

My Union Cartyrea burns for ~mechanicalman.
Why is it called PMS? Because "Mad Cow" was already taken.
Apartment people are little greedy jerks. Me and Dan didn't get most of our security deposit back, because apparently who ever they use to clean the carpet cost $650.00 or more, cause we only got $100.00 back, and they said it was because of the carpet bill. I know for a fact all those carpets needed was to be washed, and that was it, they were in really good shape when we left.
So yeah we lost a lot of money out of that, and it doesn't help that someone I thought was a friend used us in that sense. He lived there before us, and said we could keep his security deposit and we can just pay him back when we could. He knew they were not going to give him his deposit back so he used us to get it back in full. I can't believe he did it, but it defiantly makes sense. They sure did screw us up alot.
I hope we can find a decent place that won't be the end of us.
I really can't wait to see how your going to do mine ^^ even if I did change things alot, I only request you show them as friends. (not sure if you red the re-written chapters of FP)

More important than the scars though, I'm very worried about your health with all that constant stress affecting you ... I'm sorry to hear you had a horrible month. I hope it would be better in the future, no, I'm sure happier things would follow eventually ^w^!
I think I talked about the appartment and phone issues in the note I replied back, so I won't mention it again here in case I already did o.O
Good luck with the many obstacles you encounter. I'm convinced you will get over them! >w<

I just wanted to leave you a message because your work has inspired me, I came back to DA and was happy to notice you're still here.
When I studied Animation BA at uni, it led to be "proffessional"minded and just create the work I thought people might like to see, and not really be proud or interested in.
It's admirable that so many artists, like you, create the works they like to create without worrying too much if there is a market for it... if you think about that too much you never get anything done! But the way you work it's like art is in addiction...and that's the way I want to be again. I want to get back to the days like that, before uni and when I lived in an art-bubble.
I'll be looking for your upcoming works and try to rediscover what it is my style. I will pop along now and check if any of your comics and doodads are available for all to see!

It has been difficult, but I am slowly regaining the atmosphere in my artistic bubble. For a while it was as if an asteroid block had crashed through it causing a giant hole which left my artistic enthusiasm venerable. With the Holidays over and the year starting fresh I feel as if I can get back on track with my personal projects and other artistic activities. I just have to take it one day at a time, living each day as I can, especially with my art
For a while I was actually focusing too much on what other people might want to see, and about that time was when I stopped work on the comic. I have a bad habit sometimes worrying TOO much about what other people will think, and it took a lot of soul searching the last couple of months for me to really realize that about my self. Though it is important that others see my work, I also know that the bigger piece of the solution is my OWN personal confidence in my work, how I see the places and settings in the stories that I create and how well I am willing to express them visually. After all, art is only another means of emotional expression, and sometimes I can't get my words across correctly to others because I am not sure how to express my self. So with my art, I feel that I can accomplish that goal. It doesn't matter really if others understand right away what I am trying to say in my art, but if they can see that there is "something" there, recognizing that their is some sort of hidden message, then really I've accomplished my goal. After all, it's always there again for them to go back and have another look as they may find the message the second time with the visual example. Words are not so easily articulated for second chances as art so freely has through illustrated manifestations.
I must admit that I miss your cat biscuit
I hope that I can catch up soon on DA as well so that I can get back into the flow of things checking other deviations pages and journals. I am so horribly backed up right now lol. I hope that you will have a wonderful year this year. I turn to music sometimes for my inspiration. It seems to help to relax me. I wonder how many other artists do the same. Mediation also helps to get back into the swing of things because meditation is "inviting" the good energy in through the body, mind and spirit
Thank you again for writing to me, it was very kind of you and I appreciated it very much

Things are getting better for me.
So then when we went in to talk to them about it, they said that were breaking the lease agreement, which was THEIR fault, not ours, but none of the staff are on the "same page" when it comes to management. Eventually we got the problem taken care of, so we're very comfortable and happy now in our new apartment
Haha, I am convinced as well that I will get over my obstacles
