-sigh- My summer vacation hasn't gone as planned at all. I hate to say it, but it hasn't actually been all that great yet. I'm still here, which is a good thing in reality, but I haven't really gotten anything done. I have a job, but no money. I have a car, but no phone so I can't even go anywhere just now.... It's just... not what I wanted it to be.
See, at the beginning of this summer, I was supposed to spend two weeks in Nashville with several friends. Things hit hard at the end of the school year (money wise) and I couldn't go. By not going there for two weeks, I also don't get to attend Momocon, which I was really looking forward to.
Then, I planned a trip out to Kings Island with some friends cause that's where my mom's company picnic is always held.... or not. That's where it used to be every year, so I could always get June tickets pretty cheap. So I had to cancel that. And now, here I am. Three (two and a half, really) weeks away from OMGcon, and I still have two costume commissions to finish as well as a couple of request pieces here and I still have to o to work all that time for potentially ten hours a day.
I'm really tired, and I'm really mad at my summer so far, cause the money stuff hasn't even stopped yet.
The insurance is refusing to cover the chest x-ray that I was REQUIRED to have taken for my study abroad file, so there goes $400 for that, and the insurance is also trying not to take my dentist bill either. That's another $200-$300 if I have to pay for that. That's almost a thousand dollars of my STUDY ABROAD money that I'm basically going to be giving away. Like, WTF? I've been working hard, REALLY HARD, for THREE FREAKING YEARS to do this study abroad thing and, in all of that time, I've only managed to save $3000. That's not even enough to buy the plane ticket and pay for things while I'm there.
And now I'm basically a thousand dollars short of that even. Like... REALLY?
UGH, just UGH.
I'm done now.

I DON'T DO COMMISSIONS RIGHT NOW. I'm not very confident in my current skill level, since I've been away from things for so long. If I get decent reactions to new art that I'll be posting soon, I might be willing to open ONE commission slot.

My Participation
Hey! :wave: So, I just came back, and I'm on the lookout for things to participate in to keep me drawing! :gallery: So far, I've found two things. One is the OC Tournament being hosted by @Silvaze126 Unfortunately for anyone who sees this now, entries are closed as the tournament has begun. :shrug: Maybe next time! The second thing is really really cool. I'll be creating a piece for the contest that @SassyMelvin is running!:eager: Sonic 2 was a game I grew up playing, and Sonic and Tails is the absolute best pair of friends anywhere, so I'm really excited about this! :giggle: You can submit an entry for this until May 7th! :boing: On the other side of this, anything you guys want me to draw can be added to the list! Just ask! Art Trades These are OPEN! I've got three slots for these, so feel free to ask! 1: -OPEN- 2: -OPEN- 3: -OPEN- Requests These are OPEN! There's only one slot left! 1: - @Silvaze126 - I'm picking a character. (0%) 2: -OPEN- I don't do
Monday Uploads
Hey all!:wave: So, it's been a long time since I've been actually active here^^; , and it's also been a long time since I had access to my love of art. I've gotten the latter back, which is making me attempt the former. Put simply, I've re-discovered my love of art, and in doing so have made a conscious decision to be active here. :clap: Now then, since it's been so long, to get myself back into the habit, I'm going to start weekly uploads. Every Monday for this year, I will upload a new and finished piece. This started two weeks ago, though I didn't realize it at the time. :giggle: So, I'll be updating this journal each time I upload something, to help keep myself accountable.:D It's wonderful to be back! :eager: See you on Monday!:la: K. Karma March 2nd: Hello Again! 9th: Happy Ski Trip! 16th: Saint Patrick's Cosmo 23rd: Love Letter 30th: The Jewel Thief April 6th: Chao Easter Egg Hunt 13th: Relaxation 20th: Unbreakable Bonds (Contest by @SassyMelvin) 27th:
The Return
HELLO! I know, I know. It's been forever. It has been FOREVER. So, to start this off, I want to say that it is GREAT to be drawing again. To be quite honest, I lost myself in the flow of life for a little while, and became more adult than I ever wanted to be. Life has happened, and I have new priorities and new bills. I've ended up living one of my dreams, and it is FANTASTIC. That said, life isn't clean, and it isn't always fun. Sometimes it's messy, and sometimes it hurts, but I've learned that you just have to get up and try again. SO, I'm not going to go into my whole big story. That has no place here. What does have a place here is art. So that is what will go here. I will be taking art trades. Up to three at once. I will do collaborations. Up to three at once. I will take ONE request at a time. All of these will be limited to SONIC STYLE CHARACTERS ONLY for now. TRADES 1: -empty- 2: -empty- 3: -empty- COLLABS 1: -empty- 2: -empty- 3: -empty- REQUEST 1: -empty-
Difficult, but fun!
:bulletpink: N E W S :bulletpink:
Soooo.... I don't really have a lot of news. I know that I'm going to be in Japan for a little more than a month longer than I'd originally planned! Of course this is a good thing!
I don't know if it counts as news, but I've recently remembered why I spent most of high school single. (Here's a hint: it has nothing to do with everyone else!)
Got a crush, but no confidence to speak. I guess this could be considered a form of stage-fright, right? It's the only thing I can figure.
Regardless, I should probably get it figured out pretty soon, since it's getting pretty close to Christmas and all.
