The other thing is work. My job, or rather former job, left me with little desire to much other than sit and stare at the computer for long hours. So now that I've been fired, I don't care, it's not missed. I got fired on the 24th for a no call no show the day before, but I was so tired that day I slept through my shift. And again, it doesn't bother me, because it's really for the best. I'll probably find a better paying job anyway and be happy with what I do. The nicest thing about this so far has been that I've actually had a weekend to myself for once, only ever once got one at Tires Plus.

Ah.. lessee... going two months really does kill your memory for what all has happened in that time, and the only other thing I apparently care to remember is that I'm single again. That happened at the very end of last year. Meh, it's nothing I really worry about other than feeling alone again, but even that's not anything major.

As a last order of.. er.. not really business... I'm working on creating some journal images tonight I think. Finally have some desire to do them, but it's partially for lack of better things to draw.

Oh wait, I lied, there's something else, too. I've decided to take to a creative commons license as of yesterday after reading someone's journal on still rampant art theft. Regardless of DA's policy and regardless of what little this creative commons license may do to deter, I'm getting into it. The art theft only seems to be getting worse, and it's ridiculous, the people that do it are ridiculous. Are they just that stupid? Probably. It's not nice, and I'm not happy just being witness to it. Beyond that, I'm proud of the work I do, screw sounding uppity and arrogant about it, I like my work, and I'd be pissed about theft. So creative commons license, attribution, non-commercial, non-derivative. The symbol will appear in the descriptions for all of my deviations past, present, future.

Have fun in life! It really does go on.

Commission info

Anyway. Life seems to be okay now that I've decided work can go to hell. I did indeed go back Monday with little more than an explanation. My newest way of thinking for what I do is that I'm paid to work, but I'm not paid to work hard. I figure, I've proved I'm fucking good, and I don't need to anymore. Hey, what can you do? I'm less tired now it seems, and I stay in a better mood usually, plus they don't seem to notice.

Anyway, work isn't entirely what this journal gets to be about, I figure I'd mention a significant other that I've not mentioned before, and well.. I remembered just now she'd pointed it out quite a while ago. So! Here we go Cortny, I'm mentioning you, so be happy. Though, she should be, because I love her so damn much. And you know what? Damn, it's been a year, I realized, that we've known each other with about two thirds of that with us considering ourselves serious about being together. I haven't looked back on it, and I'm happy to see we're still going stronger than ever. It's an awesome thing. But really, I swear that girl just keeps me going sometimes. I almost always want to come home just to talk to her, and I can't get away with a single day of not thinking of her, but that's a good thing, we all know. The funniest thing is how we've never met, but we feel so right for each other, and we keep talking about how we're going to get married. We'll meet soon, I know, and it won't feel like a long time. What's 6 more months if we think we're going to have a lifetime, right?

Okay, I've covered my old journal now, so I'm happy, Cortny's happy.. and I'm happy more since I'm talking to her now, but yeh. Oh, and I believe I'll be editing my commission info journal sometime soon, too.

Commission me!

Well... I know I've reached a new low at work when I walk out. Out and out gone. I'm not dealing with favorites, inconsiderate fuckers, not a damn thing more today. I mean really, I can understand not sending us on lunch because we're fucking busy, and that's fine, because that's practically every Saturday and Sunday. But! When instead the sales guy goes on lunch, gets food, then also gets food for the worthless Mexican tech, that's bullshit. To top that off, the service manager, the guy I could rave about being an awesome guy, also got food at some point or another, came out into the shop, munching a burger, sipping on a soda asking what kind of tires I'd given out because another store needed them and I'd screwed up. Now, I was fine with that for all of half a minute, then decided I wasn't going to go on lunch whether they let me or not, but instead I really was going to walk out like I'd been debating.

So here I am, at home, about three hours early. And I'll probably go back to work tomorrow with nothing more than an explanation and maybe a write up.

The nice thing about taking the train to Montana was that I got plenty of time to hash out some more ideas for the graphic novel I want to do, and it's looking promising for the most part right now. I also managed to draw just a little bit, but the ride wasn't conducive to much more than a mess other than one of our longer stops. That's alright, though, 'cause I'd like to draw more so long as I don't feel so tired after work as much as I have. And speaking of which... I've had almost 60 hours in the last week, so it's been kicking my ass.

Anyways... I'm too tired now to think of anything else to say, so I'll catch ya'll in another month or so.

Things to keep in mind:

-I don't have a tablet, all commissions will be traditional media.
-Second note on the media, I'm most comfortable right now in doing pencil and ink simply because I've not much experience in coloring, but I'm more than willing to try.
-Third note on that is that if you ask me to color, don't expect miracles, and expect I'll be taking a while longer so I can first make a copy to color so as not to fuck up the original. Maybe if I did that, I'd send both the colored copy and the inked/pencil version.
-I will send you the originals via mail or any shipping of your choice paid by you. You paid for it, you deserve to actually have the paper with the picture, right? And don't doubt they'll be packed well, even if I have to stick a sheet of steel in there to prevent bending. (I don't trust the friggin postal service to not bend something even if marked not to) >; P

Current from 11/24/07:

Official prices set as follows, not negotiable, and only meant as a baseline. Complexity adds to cost, always.

-One character, minimal to no background (see Babsy giftart) $25
-Add a completed background for $5 on up. Complexity is key, and everyone can plainly see I really haven't done much for them yet.
-Add another character for $10 on up. If there is heavy interaction between characters, this again influences the price.
-More complex poses, as in, ones that involve lots of foreshortening, high impact, high action, heavy expression add $5 and up. My discretion to do so.
-Additional media beyond pencil and minimal inking of lines is something you'll have to ask on. A relatively easy inking and shading job like in my Laylon reference sheet should only run around $5 or so, maybe a tad more.
-Leaving free reign such as lacking any kind of reference, description, and otherwise is a big no no. Add $10 for that if you do.

Please remember that these are baseline and I will give you a final price before I even start drawing for you based on what you ask for. Also, seeing as other artists have been burned on this, I ask that half be paid up front, but I encourage full payment. I do the work I'm paid for, that's my on my word.

Current from 10/21/07:

-Basic price reference for right now goes back to Laylon's reference sheet. I'll probably have around four hours of work into it when it's all said and done. Basing somewhat on an hourly rate, something like that I would probably charge no less than $25 and probably closer to $30-35. Realize that equates to around $8 an hour, as in.. not much. I feel it's plenty reasonable. However this doesn't mean a commission is based on how much time I put into it.
-I'm not setting prices right now, either, so if you have interest, email, note, Furcadia whisper (Laylon, Jolek, and Parix are most common), or IM me to discuss.

I think that should just about cover it for the time being. Anyone and everyone feel free to tell me what you think.

I'm sick. That's it. It sucks. And working even just an evening shift with it being fucking humid as all hell sucks. I can do hot and sweaty mostly, or being sick, not both at the same time.

Sleepy time, soon. Nyquil is my friend.

I am now just over two weeks into a job at a tire shop. I work full time, it's a job I can do well and like so far, just so long as shit doesn't happen. And by that I mean either shit like theft on someone elses part, disrespect from the same said two people, or something of the sort. I'm serious, though.. Chilis in Denver wasn't so great with our latino cooks and most of them being assholes, and the two Mexican techs at the tire shop here don't look any better. I don't want to be racist, I hate it, but I don't meet many too many latino fucks that don't think they're entitled to everything in the world. That's not saying they aren't, but there are things like respect, other people's property, etc.

Enough ranting, I say. At least it hasn't been two months this time, right? Right.

Now.. I'm not short on money or anything now, but I'd like to save up some money and save quicker (for a newer car, new computer, etc.) than I can just by working at a tire shop full time. This means I want to take commissions. I'm getting serious about this now while I still remember, because honestly since I drew up the Laylon reference, I've felt quite ready and confident in my style to be able to do well with this. Saying this, I also understand I need to be able to show my art off, and I've already had the notion to do gift art to people I roleplay with on Furcadia, even if it's only once I RP. Seriously. If I find a character that sparks my interest, you might find yourself with a gift art.

As far as details of commissions go, I'm just going to go ahead and lay down some basics in this journal and maybe later I'll create a journal expressly for the purpose depending on interest.

-I don't have a tablet, all commissions will be traditional media.
-Second note on the media, I'm most comfortable right now in doing pencil and ink simply because I've not much experience in coloring, but I'm more than willing to try.
-Third note on that is that if you ask me to color, don't expect miracles, and expect I'll be taking a while longer so I can first make a copy to color so as not to fuck up the original. Maybe if I did that, I'd send both the colored copy and the inked/pencil version.

I think that should just about cover it. Anyone and everyone feel free to tell me what you think.

And that all turned out longer than I thought it would.. argh.. maybe I'll make a journal just for commission info anyway. Not tonight, though. I have work in the morning.

See all ya'll later.

I moved. Never said much about it here, but it happened. A month ago almost to the day in fact. The greatest part? My old truck made it the whole 1000 plus miles without an issue. The suck? I still don't have a job and what little savings I had is gone. The manager at the Chilis I worked at in Denver must have screwed up, I came into the one here and they knew nothing about a transfer. To top that off, they've been ungodly slow in anything about hiring me, and were supposed to contact me last. Now Applebees shows promise in hiring me instead, and maybe a tire shop. If they both want to hire me, the cool I might take both, but I still hope for at least Applebees.

In the mean time... I sit on my ass. Go me, right? It's boring, but at least it's given me time to play with Linux and learn more. I haven't run Windows for almost two weeks and probably won't need to for quite some time unless I just can't get something to work under Linux. Too bad I haven't drawn anything new. >.> Dun hurt me?

Anyway.. I'll see everyone.. whenever.

So yeh, anyway, life's decided it likes throwing more curveballs, so what's new. Mostly this just means money has gotten tighter and I spent money last month that I thought I could get away with spending and didn't, but again, what's new, I'm still here apparently. Still have plans to move at the end of July, though. Did I mention that? Mebbe... meh.

I don't have much to say right now, go figure... life's been a bit blah for the past week and one thing helping it to be better in Cortny. I love her. ^^

See all ya'll another time.

Onward!

So, first off, I'm not in school. Another bad term, couple of Bs, a D, and two Fs. I dropped... It's not worth staying, wasting time and money if I'm not going to put forth an effort. My parents aren't happy, but I'm not in school for them anyway, so I don't have financial support from them which then translates to me not having insurance to drive anymore, but having money for the most part anyway despite a lack of a roommate.

Next!

So... I'm trying to think of what else to say.. The last month has been uneventful and really so has the time since my last update, but that's just life, isn't it? OH! I know..

Sarah.. yeh... Sorry, hun about all that, but I lost whatever it was that was there and now we don't really talk, do we? It sucks and I never intended this, but I pretty much lost my feelings for her and made the decision to say we should just be friends a few weeks ago. I feel so bad for hurting her and now it seems we're hardly even friends, I don't like talking to her much.. whether it's different how we talk to each other anymore or something else, I don't know. *sighs* Here's to what you warned me of, a trainwreck and lost friends.

And... moving on.

Life has been kinda boring lately, I don't get out at all or do much of anything, even though I should, nor do I have school to take my time. The only thing I've done recently, though hardly much, was go to someone's party a few weeks ago. I have to admit it was a pretty good time with people I knew and a little alcohol, I've been tempted to invite a few people over lately, but I don't have drinks at the moment and my apartment has been in a continual cycle of needing cleaning somewhere.

I'd like to get doing some of the things I keep meaning to do, but I've had zero inspiration for art, been otherwise lazy, and preoccupied with unproductive things like sitting on my butt most of the day with the computer. So really... I'd like to go for a bike ride, draw something again, get my site redesigned yet again, get some writing done for the comic, and finish my dream for Furcadia... Oh, and fix the car my dad gave me. But again with procrastination.

Hm, so I guess I'll see everyone around.

So anyway, in the last two months I've gotten a job, gotten behind in school again, perhaps fallen in love, and now wondering just what it is I want in life.

I've been thinking lately about school and if it's really what I want right now or if I'm in the right course of study or even if I'm at the right school. It's only the second term right now, and being behind on homework doesn't help any, but I've got no motivation to do it and it seems to me a fair indicator that school may not be what I want for the moment. I need time to think though and have a lot of things to consider. I have a full ride scholarship that I could still get back or may still have and my dad isn't going to help with loans after this term whether or not I have that scholarship and I know he especially won't if I drop and go back later. Also considering which, I'd have 2600 in my own loans to pay off, plus what I owe him for this term of loans, and then what I owe my parents for borrowed money. Lot to think about with that...

My job is going pretty good, it's been fun for the most part and I'm making decent money for the 15-20 hours a week I'm working. I've got one thing to say... tips are a nice thing to have.

And on to this person I like so much... I must say I do like her a lot, and she's asked me why and I've never been entirely sure... It's been fun talking to her and we seem to have a fair bit in common. It's too bad we live so far apart otherwise it may not be as much of an issue, she's had a lot of experience with long distance and a pattern of bad experiences with it. I hate to admit it, but even she might have some influence on what I want right now... of course she does, I'd love to go see her, maybe even move closer. She says I'm out of my mind and I tend to agree. =3

Bleh... I have art to upload, but I'm going to do that later, it's already late. Also, I have a lot of art to catch up on, around 800 on SA and 1200 on DA, and some of this stuff goes back six months and even April of last year, not too much though, but there's still tons, I know SA is more from August on up.

In all honesty I know how bad I screwed up and I look at myself and wonder what the hell I'm doing and if I'm going to make it through college. Sure, I made it through high school, but I was pushing it and almost didn't... It's been almost three very hard years with procrastinating more than I ever have, why I haven't gotten it under control is beyond me, but I'm trying, this time I'm going to try so hard and I plan to win. Wish me luck everyone, this is going to be rough...

Oh, and as a last note, I got my scanner to work on my roomie's computer (the damn thing got reformatted and persuaded to function finally a while ago) so I might be putting up some art from earlier in the year and from my Commercial Design class that I took in high school, but who knows when, it's the procrastination again. Same with almost 800 pieces of art at SA and 1000 at DA...

Have fun, everyone, I'll see ye when I see ye.

I left this placeholder too long, sorry to all four or five of ye, it doesn't help me that my roommate got me hooked on World of Warcraft...

Anyway, Echostar called me a week and a few days ago to finally offer me the job, apparently Montana took forever to send back the background check, I start work today at three, so I've only got about ten minutes to type this up. I'm happy with it but I'm not because it's a full-time job (less time for everything else), I might not get the shift I need to work with school, but it's a job that pays pretty well and I couldn't afford not to take the job at this point (translation: I'm broke-ass poor).

In other news, I'm probably not going to have much in the way of real art for quite some time (sorry, raincheck on the trade BF?), I decided to go back and learn and do a lot of practice sketching so I can get my anatomy down a lot better and in general improve my skills, I plan on pretty much filling up the half-sheet, hundred page sketchbook I've got now and then some perhaps. Give me time, be patient, and when I get the chance, I'll upload some art that's been sitting around, I just need to get my scanner working or use my camera.

Laters! Wish me luck at work?

Aaaaaaaand in other news I have started working on my art a bit more, I started back up on my character reference sheets and maybe those will be done in a week. Comic planning has also made a little progress and I hope to start on those in a month or so. Lastly would be my site reworking... I haven't done too much with it lately but it's pretty much ready for upload other than a few extra little things I'd like to add and working out some issues of how it displays in Firefox (CSS borders around text boxes).

Anybody want to commission me? I'd love to be given something to draw and I'm short on cash... not to mention several hundred dollars in the hole on a credit card.... -.-;

To do list:
-homework/study etc
-artwork: character references, comics, art trade, etc
-final website work
-fix internet/computers (fixed it!)
-job?
-anything forgotten

Alrighteh, I need to run...

Anyway, yeh, I'm at school, durr, only place I have internet access. Honestly I DID come in to do homework and ended up procrastinating for the past three hours and now I'll just study tonight or somethin'. The good news is that I don't have school tomorrow, so I can always come in and work then, I don't have a job yet(but it's promising). Moving along with that, I think Echostar (Dish Network) is hiring me as a customer service representative, which will be great because it pays eleven dollars an hour and it's full-time, so I'll be busy, but have cash. I hope I can learn to keep up, I have so many problems with time management, and hopefully still have time to finally get a comic going and work on art... Life catches up quick and gets you when you aren't looking...

Oh, and by the way, Kendra, you still suck(inside joke, you can ask, I might tell =3).

To do list again:
To do list again...

Anyway... Um, yeah college is fun... Okay I have nothing to say now, and I did, belive me, I did... I just have no idea what.

I need to do shtuff again. Get a new computer, I want a tablet PC or a convertable but I have to use student loans for it, I'm broke. Once I get that, I'll be able to properly update drawn arts, my old comp is too slow for my printer/scanner software (even though minimum requirement is 233 MHz processor and it's what I have) so I have to use my camera and I'll be able to do digital art.

I'm back in Denver finally and for at least three years now. The past week has been pretty uneventful, I'm in an apartment and on my own, really it's not much of a transition for me(yet anyway). We'll have to see what happens farther down the road, I don't have a job yet and the one I want I have to wait until I'm eighteen (one week) so I'm still deciding what to do about cash in the meantime, as a result I don't have a home net connection but I'm waiting to see what I can afford with that one, too.

Lessee... otherwise, my messages are horribly backed up from the past month of no internet access and not having time before that for DA and SA. I didn't realize until a short while ago just how much time I really do spend on the computer and how much socializing I do.

We'll see what happens for art, comics, and my site, I'l trying but I'm not, know how that goes? No? Fine, be that way.

I'll see everyone eventually, ya'll enjoy the summer, I know I am and still will, school ought to be fun and I'll keep ya posted! ]]> ~Sunie http://Sunie.deviantart.com/journal/9009507/ http://Sunie.deviantart.com/journal/9009507/ Thu, 08 Jun 2006 13:55:00 PDT
Driving here is different, much different, speed limits are insane, drivers are aggressive, and there's so much traffic, I'm not even in downtown Denver, this shit is crazy! I'm screwed I realize...

Anyhow, I'll catch everyone probably late in the month. My messages have been backed up for so long, so sorry to everyone!

Copy and paste... like usual.

I couldn't think of anything better for a title, and Pink Floyd rules.

It's been raining... Um, since... yesterday? I like rain because I can (and I realize this is entirely random). Maybe I should have gone with DeVry's Seattle campus, it rains there more... dern.

And right now I'm amused by much and procrastinating horribly. Stinkin essay, just give me the scholarship! xD Like it'll happen...

Oh! I'm back now, in case it wasn't already obvious. Shoot me now? Anyway, Denver was pretty fun, we lost horribly because we got disqualified 3 of 9 rounds.

EDIT: I just took a gander through my old account... good times were had that I completely forgot... bad art I forgot... I haven't even got many of the original watchers from then that I miss having now. And now with this account, it's kinda disheartening when you find you have watchers, but nobody that views your art. In all honesty, I normally could care less if I'm popular, but I look around at other artists that get good traffic with comments about their great work and wonder how they get that just from putting art up; it makes me feel like crap and that I'm not appreciated... *sigh* What comments/compliments I do get are very appreciated though, thanks to those that do give them, especially those people who see the art in person and those I know.

Well, I'll be out of town tomorrow morning until Sunday morning. I've got a long bus ride ahead of me, so plenty of time to draw, sleep, do homework, and work on my scholarship essay. That reminds me, I'm eligible for a full ride scholarship for the school I'm going to, I need to write an essay though.

I really ought to be in bed right now instead of writing this journal and trying to catch up on 300 messages just here on SA, I need to get up at 5:15...

See you all when I get back, hopefully I'll have my WIPs finished and a few other surprises.

To do list:

finish going through HTML/CSS to update site layout
-work on a few surprises
-work on character design updates/ adding characters
-scripting and drawing comics
-getting my commission drawn that I gave away at the X-Mas gift exchange
-catch up on 300 SA messages and 400 on DA
-scholarship essay
-restoration work on my Chevy

Oh, before I forget... I have a new webhost, so the site is now [link].

Good bye....

Okay, listen up people, I'm only going to say this once. I'm tired of shit, the high school drama and all. People suck, the ignorance, immaturity... EVERYTHING. It gets old, it wore thin and now I'm done, I don't want to put up with it anymore. Thankfully, I'll be out of state hopefully by mid-June, I'm going to college at DeVry University, I won't divulge what city/campus, and school starts July 17th (bite me Kendra, whatever b-day surprise you planned ain't happening).

Nextly, somewhat because of the above said and partly from reading recent other comics, my own comic and characters are to undergo a big change. No more will it have any relation to my life (nobody cares), no more will it be set in a high school (nobody, especially me, wants more teen drama BS), so I'll be planning. In the meantime, the site gets redesigned, the characters get redone, more characters get added, the plot gets changed, etc.

Have a nice day... pft.

Things I should work on:

-finish going through HTML/CSS to update site layout
-get a proper webhost
-work on a few surprises
-work on character design updates/ adding characters
-scripting and drawing comics
-getting my commission drawn that I gave away at the X-Mas gift exchange
-finish putting the transmission into my truck (almost done

Everyone strives for popularity... is that why I want to do a webcomic? Final thoughts........

I'm not in a good mood, I won't be for a while. Everyone fuck off, I'm going to my corner to sulk. ]]> ~Sunie http://Sunie.deviantart.com/journal/6472368/ http://Sunie.deviantart.com/journal/6472368/ Sat, 10 Sep 2005 23:21:42 PDT
On a semi-related note... God bless the victims of 9-11... I've never been religious, but this is just one of those occasions... I regret I have not prepared any artwork for this day and hadn't last year either... ]]> ~Sunie http://Sunie.deviantart.com/journal/6393124/ http://Sunie.deviantart.com/journal/6393124/ Thu, 01 Sep 2005 23:40:27 PDT ~Sunie
