They will not be uploaded here until the revamp is complete.<br /><br />I will still comment on things, and answer notes and the like.<br /><br /><b>Rules</b><br />- No stealing artwork, duh.<br />- NOTE OR EMAIL ME COMMISSIONS! Email is debbies@crazedcamel.com<br />- Don't bug me when commissions will be done. I am a college student and have a full-time job, but I do my best to get things done quickly.<br />- You cancel...no refund. Sorry.<br />- Anything left vague, I have the right to interpret as I see fit. Therefore, giving me a completely vague description is a bad idea.<br />- References are loved, but descriptions work too.<br />- I'm selling my art to YOU, not to your business. If you want a commercial artist...We'll talk. I have done commercial design before, so I am no stranger to it. I may be cheaper than many people out there with degrees, but I am still not cheap. Just slightly inexpensive.<br /><br /><b>Will Do:</b><br />- Gaia Avatars (or other if you have references).<br />- Both Genders.<br />- Gender Bending.<br />- Original Characters.<br />- Fanart.<br />- Mild Anthro.<br />- Shoujo/Shounen-Ai.<br />- Images with mild blood/dark overtones.<br />- Partly mechanized. (Like automail limbs!)<br /><br /><b>Will Not Do:</b><br />- Ugly characters (whether fan, original, or avatar). I'm not good enough to draw them yet.<br />- Complete mechs. (Yes...I'm a Transformers geek...but I can't draw them!)<br />- Furry. (I'm still learning!)<br />- Crinos form. (I can't draw the WtA battle forms yet...)<br />- Obscene amounts of blood or gore. (O.o; I'm not sure I'll ever be able to draw this...Something about a 'healer instinct'.)<br />- Yaoi/Yuri/Hentai. Uh...not good at it yet.<br /><br /><b>Payment Regulations:</b><br />I accept both Snail Mail and Paypal. Paypal must be used for international buyers, Snail Mail only for US citizens.

I'm trying to get down to PA so I can see <a href="http://ladynyoko.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/l/a/ladynyoko.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconladynyoko:" title="ladynyoko"/></a> at Tekkoshocon, since our attempt to get her up to Sakuracon was bombed. Her mother is still about 200 dollars short for everything relating to Tekkosho, not including spending money. Nyoko and her Mom are doing what they can on their end, and I'm doing what I can here. I've got a couple oddjobs that'll pay me a little...But I'm gonna do what I do best here: ART. So...I present to you my 'Tekkoshocon for Poi' Effort commission price list!<br /><br /><b>Rules</b><br />- No stealing artwork, duh.<br />- NOTE OR EMAIL ME COMMISSIONS! Email is debbies@crazedcamel.com<br />- Don't bug me when commissions will be done. I am a college student and have a full-time job, but I do my best to get things done quickly.<br />- You cancel...no refund. Sorry.<br />- Anything left vague, I have the right to interpret as I see fit. Therefore, giving me a completely vague description is a bad idea.<br />- References are loved, but descriptions work too.<br />- I'm selling my art to YOU, not to your business. If you want a commercial artist...We'll talk. I have done commercial design before, so I am no stranger to it. I may be cheaper than many people out there with degrees, but I am still not cheap. Just slightly inexpensive.<br /><br /><b>Will Do:</b><br />- Gaia Avatars (or other if you have references).<br />- Both Genders.<br />- Gender Bending.<br />- Original Characters.<br />- Fanart.<br />- Mild Anthro.<br />- Shoujo/Shounen-Ai.<br />- Images with mild blood/dark overtones.<br />- Partly mechanized. (Like automail limbs!)<br /><br /><b>Will Not Do:</b><br />- Ugly characters (whether fan, original, or avatar). I'm not good enough to draw them yet.<br />- Complete mechs. (Yes...I'm a Transformers geek...but I can't draw them!)<br />- Furry. (I'm still learning!)<br />- Crinos form. (I can't draw the WtA battle forms yet...)<br />- Obscene amounts of blood or gore. (O.o; I'm not sure I'll ever be able to draw this...Something about a 'healer instinct'.)<br />- Yaoi/Yuri/Hentai. Uh...not good at it yet.<br /><br /><b>Payment Regulations:</b><br />I accept both Snail Mail and Paypal. Paypal must be used for international buyers, Snail Mail only for US citizens. I need to ask WaMu a few things before I can accept Snail Mail from out-of-US...<br /><br /><i>* If paying by Snail Mail, your commision will not be started until I recieve the payment.

                <description><![CDATA[ Commission Status: [OPEN!!!!!!!!!!]<br />
<br />
So I've realized something...I care far too much...<br />
Yes, this post may be slightly emo, but I can't really put it on LJ at the moment for reasons I won't say.<br />
<br />
I can't stand seeing people I care about hurt, or in trouble, or struggling, and yet I can do so little to help myself right now. And when I try to help, I end up failing because they won't take my help...or I stretch myself too thin and just break down. Poi breaking down...VERY bad thing. When I break down, I cry for hours, even after the tears are gone, and I become very anti-social, which hurts everyone around me. And then I bury everything inside me, and the cycle starts over...<br />
<br />
I guess that's why I've been banned from healing until I finish healing myself. But it's hard, because I seem to attract the people who need help more than I do, even if they don't say it or show it...And I can't do anything without them asking. So what am I supposed to do? I can't shut myself in, physically or emotionally. I've tried both before, and I hate the person I became during those times. But...it hurts so much sometimes, and I'm a coward when it comes to pain of any sort. I loathe hurting so much...<br />
<br />
Ugh...<br />
<br />
No responses to this are needed. I know I'm being emo, but I just find getting things like this out of my head keeps it from festering...And who knows, maybe someone else is in the same situation as me, and might learn from what I have? I'm not sure...<br />
<br />
But I am certainly not looking for pity or sympathy. Strange, isn't it? That I post something like this, and then say I don't want those. Well, ya know...I've never been one to follow the path of least resistance...I was born different...and I'll stay that way. And that's just the way I like it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Yeah...so Poi has been attempting to find someone to do backgrounds for a comic I want to do...Of course, this hasn't been a very fruitful endeavor.<br />
<br />
So...I'm going to attempt backgrounds on my own. So once I start getting my comic online...warning: the backgrounds are likely to be SHITTY for a while. But...at least I'll be trying. -grumble-<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yes...it's true...Poi is now open for commissions!<br />
<br />
<b>Rules</b><br />
- No stealing artwork, duh.<br />
- Don't bug me when commissions will be done. I am a college student and have a full-time job, but I do my best to get things done quickly.<br />
- You cancel...no refund. Sorry.<br />
- Anything left vague, I have the right to interpret as I see fit. Therefore, giving me a completely vague description is a bad idea.<br />
- References are loved, but descriptions work too.<br />
- I'm selling my art to YOU, not to your business. If you want a commercial artist...We'll talk. I have done commercial design before, so I am no stranger to it. I may be cheaper than many people out there with degrees, but I am still not cheap. Just slightly inexpensive.<br />
<br />
<b>Will Do:</b><br />
- Gaia Avatars (or other if you have references).<br />
- Both Genders.<br />
- Original Characters.<br />
- Fanart.<br />
- Mild Anthro.<br />
- Shoujo/Shounen-Ai.<br />
- Images with mild blood/dark overtones.<br />
- Partly mechanized. (Like automail limbs!)<br />
<br />
<b>Will Not Do:</b><br />
- Ugly characters (whether fan, original, or avatar). I'm not good enough to draw them yet.<br />
- Complete mechs. (Yes...I'm a Transformers geek...but I can't draw them!)<br />
- Furry. (I'm still learning!)<br />
- Crinos form. (I can't draw the WtA battle forms yet...)<br />
- Obscene amounts of blood or gore. (O.o; I'm not sure I'll ever be able to draw this...Something about a 'healer instinct'.)<br />
<br />
<b>Payment Regulations:</b><br />
I accept both Snail Mail and Paypal. Paypal must be used for international buyers, Snail Mail only for US citizens. I need to ask WaMu a few things before I can accept Snail Mail from out-of-US...<br />
<br />
<i>* If paying by Snail Mail, your commision will not be started until I recieve the payment. I will keep an updated list of who has paid me and who hasn't.</i><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Post these rules<br />
1. Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting) facts about themselves<br />
2. Tags should write a journal of these facts<br />
3. At the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named<br />
4. Go to their page and leave a comment telling them that they're tagged.<br />
<br />
I was tagged by <a href="http://faithom.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/f/a/faithom.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconfaithom:" title="faithom"/></a> ....<br />
<br />
So...interesting things about me...<br />
<br />
1) I have turned out the way I am, yet have grown up in places that could be best described as the 'Hood', or similar things.<br />
2) I'm planning on going for an Amateur Drag Night...as part of the show. Yes...Poi is thinking about crossdressing every now and then. XD<br />
3) I am a HUGE RP addict. Wanna RP? Just note meh. I've played AD&D 2nd ed, D&D 3rd ed, World of Darkness (old, not the new shit), Marvel Heroes (I love my Cat...^.^ Bad luck follows her everywhere), online RPs of various series and original ideas, and -gasp- Cybergen!<br />
4) I seem to attract people of all walks of life. Poi ish clique-less!!!!!!!!!!<br />
5) I very strongly LOATHE Sasuke. WTF is with people adoring his emo-ness?! I mean...His emo even seems to override his character development!<br />
6) I have remembered only one dream in the last 6 years...and that was a few weeks ago.<br />
7) Yes...I'm one of those abhorred ghost readers of fanfiction. -cry- I'm sorry...but I SUCK at reviewing!<br />
8) You could say I'm pansexual...I don't give a crap about orientation or such. Love is love, wherever it comes from. (Though there are exceptions...like pedophilia...yeah <.<; That's just wrong right there.)<br />
<br />
OKay! Now...to tag people...<br />
Uhmmm....<br />

Now...this is FREEWARE, so there is NO PROFIT for anyone involved. HOWEVER, your name will be attributed to it, and you will keep the rights to the picture. (Works submitted and used CANNOT be sold. They are licensing it under FREEWARE, so that everyone interested can enjoy.)<br />
<br />
If you're interested, send me a note and I'll get you in touch with the development team. I will, however, check your gallery first to make sure you actually CAN draw mechs...<br />
Again, send me a note if you're interested!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I hate putting 'drama' on dA...but I can't go post on LJ because then various people will see it and start bitching at me IRL. And I REALLY do not need that. At all. My day/week has gone bad enough already. And it's only Wednesday. So here's my 'rant'.<br />
<br />
I.HATE.BILLS. Yes, I know this is a statement every American has, at the least. But my deal is the people I owe can't understand I only work ONE day a week, for FOUR hours at MINIMUM wage. I can't make enough to get a subscription to dA, so I can't make any real money off prints and the like, and now my stupid bill is going to collections, because accounting forgot I get paid SATURDAY not FRIDAY. So the hours I worked this last Saturday didn't count, so I was short 12 dollars to begin with to pay my damn bill. Doesn't help I had to WALK 50+ blocks round trip to cash my damned check Monday because the bus drivers were being anal retentive that day, and I think I sunburned my boob somehow. Don't ask me how I managed it, I have no idea. But it is REALLY annoying. I missed school on Tuesday because I didn't have the money to get to school from where I was house-sitting, and I have been having a lovely time trying to find a job. I'm even trying to apply as a Subway sandwich slave. I'm that desperate for an income right now. And then today, I missed a dice roll contest on a Breedables shop on Gaia because I went to go sell some of my Yu-Gi-Oh cards so I could have the money to pay the bill. Guess what? They didn't want to buy the ONE card I KNEW they were looking for because it was the 'common version'. <a href="http://Piss.Me.Off">[link]</a>.<br />
<br />
Now that I've finished my rant, you are free to comment as you wish EXCEPT for flames. I am in one of those moods that if you are outright flaming, I WILL tear you apart online.<br />
And trust me...those moods are few and far between.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay...I know I haven't been heard from in a while. Wanna know why? I've been swamped.<br />
Work on Saturdays. Trying to find more work for weekdays. School weekday mornings from 7:30AM to 9:30AM. Trying to get my Take Two B&Cs done. Working on a paid work for a company logo for someone. Was sick for 10 or so days. Yeah...haven't had more than a few minutes at a time to be on a computer. This is my first time in a while, and it's because a new buddy of mine is letting me use her puter. So...in short...DON'T ask me to do any artwork for you for a while. I'll let ya'll know when I'm all good. As for status...<br />
<br />
Schoolwork: Don't ask.<br />
Take Two: 2/3 lineart sets done. 3rd set 1/2 complete.<br />
Logo: Working on final sketches.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

And I have decided to post my sister's photographs for her...just because she's too young to have her own dA account, according to Mom. Eh...no biggy. Will hopefully have more art up soon, just waiting for scanner access.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Alrighty...Life sucks. Royally. With great vigor.<br />
<br />
My Grandma has been in the hospital more than at home the past couple of years, and it's now official. Today was her last day of dialysis. In about ten days, she should be dead. She's been one of the biggest mainstays in my childhood, and it's hard to remember a time in my life without her. There's been many times where my family would have had it harder than we have if it wasn't for her and my Grandpa. And...it's hard to imagine life without her. But she's already GONE in a sense. The woman lying in the bed at the rehab home is NOT my Grandma. Her soul is already gone. But her body is still going, though she's far away already.<br />
<br />
And I broke up with my boyfriend. I love him dearly still...but it's as a brother and not a lover. Also doesn't help that most of my 'little crushes' now are gals. Fairly 'masculine' gals, but gals none the less. So, my life is a bit hectic.<br />
<br />
But there's good news.<br />
<br />
I'm getting back into the Running Start program this Winter Quarter at TCC, so hopefully I can graduate high school by the end of March, so I can start at Art Institute of Seattle. I REALLY want to start there soon, but I need this high school diploma. And if I manage this, my Mom and I will be going to the same school; different degrees, but the same school none the less. I'm planning on doing either a double major in Graphic Design and Animation, or a major in Graphic Design with a minor in Animation. I'm finally getting my life put back together, and my Grandma won't be around to see it...<br />
<br />
But I'll find a way for her to see what I've done. I ALWAYS find a way, eventually.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ got tagged by <a href="http://mikit-yorinao.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/m/i/mikit-yorinao.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="mikit-yorinao" /></a><br />
<br />
Rules: The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" in their devpage comments and tell them to read yours...<br />
------<br />
<br />
1. I can make my voice sound like I sucked in helium without actually sucking helium.<br />
2. My parents are into BDSM...I think that counts as weird...<br />
3. I cry easily at emotional movies...even the first Pokemon movie. (I'm not kidding!)<br />
4. I can sing in the helium voice previously mentioned...quite well, in fact!<br />
5. I like pretty men...No offense to my boyfriend...but J-rockers are GORGEOUS! =<+<;= I'm not much of one for the 'rugged' and 'manly-looking' men....<br />
6. I still have an obssession with stuffies and cute, fluffy things...<br />
<br />
Now...who shall I tag...<br />
<a href="http://shattered-cho.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/h/shattered-cho.png" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="shattered-cho" /></a>  <a href="http://kupocake.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/k/u/kupocake.gif" width="50" height="50" alt="" title="kupocake" /></a> ....I'll add more people once I find out who I know on Gaia that have dA accounts...<br /><br /> ]]></description>
