After several months of struggle and planning, I'm officially releasing my first webnovel!

Neighborhood Noxie is an Arthurian-esque fantasy adventure with sides of romance, silliness, and heartache—very much everything I love to write. The chapters will average around 550 words, just enough for a light reading break. Every five full chapters, I'll release PDF and eBook versions in the store on my Discord server, so I hope you'll look forward to them. <3

For years and years, all I've ever released on the internet is fanfiction. Graduating to releasing original stories is nerve-wracking. Even if the bulk of my stories have been AUs in recent years, it's still not the same experience as releasing a fully original story. Here's hoping it will find its niche soon, and that all of you will enjoy it. <3

Onward and upward, friends. Here we go!

I don't know if Eclipse is going to drive me off yet.  I *do* hate how I can't seem to answer or view any polls right now in the old version— that's really crappy.  Last I knew, they also don't have a "remove notification" button when you're going through deviations, and that's also really, *really* irritating.

But I've also been on Deviantart for like, 13 years.

There are a lot of problems, and there are better site options out there in a lot of ways.  DeviantArt is grade-A nostalgia, but I'm not so sure it's a grade-A art site anymore.  I know a lot of people are vacating the site.  I don't know if I'll end up being one of them.  For everyone who is on their ways out the door right now, I'd like to link my other social media and art accounts where you can find me doing things.

It's been a long ride here, plenty of ups and downs, not a lot of regrets... but I kind of have the feeling it's time to move on.  There are other places that are more lively and have more passion.  I've been barely hanging on to dA for a few years now, but who knows what the future holds.  I may stay and end up really liking Eclipse.  I may peace out with the rest of you within three days of the complete transition.  I just want my followers to be able to find me on whatever platform they like best, and not just lose track of me entirely.

I know Patreon and Ko-Fi are both platforms that encourage payment and donations, but please don't let that turn you away from them.  My finished art pieces will always be free for everyone to see.  I'd love it if you all continued to enjoy my work and grow with me for many more years, even if this isn't the platform you're viewing on.

Cheers!

I'm cringing inside because, omg.  It's a new decade.  Who else is freaking out just a little?  I'm amazed that another year has passed already.  I've noticed this about schools that run in quarters, but time practically vanishes.  It did when I was at The Art Institute, and it's doing it again now as I work on my degree with Southern New Hampshire University.

I honestly don't even know what to say about this past year.  It's been a helluva ride, I guess?  I didn't draw nearly as much as I should have, halp.  //dead

I've actually done multiple progress memes this year though, and that's pretty awesome.  oAo

So much progress, I feel like, even within a single year —

And of course, there are scads of other examples, but I just feel like I've made some progress this year, at least a little.  ;v;

A big thanks to tyvadi, AndronicusVII, dudleyd, and jkrolak for being such amazing regulars this year, especially since I've gone back to commissions as my income.  <3


I didn't accomplish any of last year's goals.  Again.  //dead

But this year is going to be off to a promising start, with lots of translation, writing, and artwork in the near future.  I hope to see all of you there!  :love:

Welcome in, y'all.  I make my living as a commission artist.  8D  If the slot you want isn't listed, just pop me a note and we'll discuss.  <3


January Slots



February Slots

  • [QuickDraw]
  • [QuickDraw]
  • [QuickDraw]
  • [QuickDraw]
  • [QuickDraw]
  • [QuickDraw]
  • [QuickDraw]
  • [Regular]

Be sure and review my Commissions, Terms and Policies so you're aware of how the hourly wages are calculated!  Payment plans are available for large commissions.  Set-rate commissions [ex. QuickDraws] require payment up-front; this can be invoiced at the beginning of the week, or paid at the commissioner's discretion at any point before then.  Hourly-rate commissions accept any and all changes; if the commission has already been completed and the commissioner would like to request a change or addition, the usual hourly rate will apply.

Please feel free to claim slots whenever you're ready; I'll be looking forward to working with you!

So, I've needed to post some updates for a while.  Today was excellent timing, I suppose, so I'm going to throw some stuff at you.  There's been quite a bit going on.

1. I'm Quitting My Job

So my employer has finally burnt through the last of my patience.  I made the decision this morning.  I'm done putting up with their bullshit.  However, I am a responsible employee — much to my frustration — so I've decided that I will wait until they've hired someone new and have them trained.  I'm going to inform the manager that doesn't make me want to punt them into oblivion next week.  This leads to —

2. Commission Slots will be Opening

Once I see when my last day is, I'll open commission slots for QuickDraw pieces.  The price will go up just a smidge — $12 per character.  However, I will also allow multi-character pieces now if you like.  Emoji32 by Emoji-icon  Poses will be at my discretion unless a reference is provided, just because it saves time.

  [CM] Kasumi of Mars for AndronicusVII by UntappedChaos [CM] Bronze for dudleyD by UntappedChaos [CM] Kith Flira for Tyvadi by UntappedChaos

I will probably open one regular commission slot per month at least once I've made it through a few more pieces on my list.


3. I've Increased my School Load

I've been doing just one class per quarter these last two semesters, but since I'm off academic probation now, I've raised that to two classes.  They look like they're going to involve a lot of reading, so wish me luck.  This is part of the reason I'm absent, especially since this is the first week of the quarter and I got a late start on it.  Emoji26 by Emoji-icon





I've also started volunteering at Pink Litchi Scans as a translator and proofer.  So... lots of things.  Life.  Emoji30 by Emoji-icon  I mostly wanted to let everyone know what was going on lately.  I'm not gone.  I'm just barely keeping my shit together.  I'm coming back to commissions as an income source because there's literally nothing out here.  All the jobs available have specific reasons I can't accept or don't qualify. 

Example: the Hampton Inn in my town is hiring for audit.  Why won't I work there?  Because a couple of months ago they canceled dozens of reservations at their hotel for no reason, without notice to the customers, and then proceeded to refill those rooms with other customers.  That's sending up so many hell flags, who would ever apply there on purpose?!  Kaomoji Emoji Set | Happy While Angry by cute-materials  

Living in Small Town, USA sucks for reasons like this.
