If I can, I'll figure out a way to keep in touch. Until then, I'll be gone and this journal/gallery/whatever is now closed.

Thank you.

Goji's is at 75% done; I've decided to do two versions- digital and traditional.
Sion's is about 80% done, however I've stagnated on it and most like am going to have to strip it back down. -_- Will be sending in-progress pics to see which stage he prefers me to go back to and improve on, although my dumb ass should have been doing that all along- I'm terrible at communication, especially with all the shit I've been going through lately.
Zexnon's is at 45%.

If there was anyone else I've missed, it's most like due to the fact that I've probably only have the bare skeleton frame down and, really, nobody really wants to see that.

THURSDAY is commission working day. Do NOT hesitate to IM me and keep me company so I can work on your stuff while we talk. I tend to get things done that way better.

Will be on hiatus indefinately until it's over.

Long story short:

Mom: ... GTFO my house you failure, kthx.
Me: ... well, shit. *homeless*
Friend: Oh, hay, come live with me.
Me: Oh, cool. *lives with*


SOOOO WITH THAT DRAMA ASIDE.

I highly apologize to those whom I owe free art to. If it's any consolation, I'll send out what I DID do of your request, finished or not. Unfortunately, when I tried to go back and finish up, my style has changed so much that it conflicted with the original ideas drawn out and was a lot more trouble than it was worth.

ANYHOO.

So now, it's ALL CLEAN SLATE. And I'm open for commissions, however, there's a catch:

Digital Art is going to rape you in the ass price-wise as I've drawn mostly with pencils recently and my ability to use the tablet has dropped to shit.

This also means that character art will NOT be coloured unless requested, and if that is the case, it will be done digitally and therefore rape you even moreso in the wallet.

Ports can be remappable or 24-bit. The End.

I've stopped undercharging myself. :[

Furc Digos are useless to me as well. Except maybe port spaces. No friggin wings or avvies or anything. :[

Commission form will be made. I will demand a retarded amount of detail from you. I hate being given artistic license unless it's something I KNOW I'm gonna love drawing.

OK DONE RAMBLING I'M GOING TO NEKOCON NOW GUYS.

You can find me at the AngelJules Art Studio table in AA.

And that means I can now begin on my Free Art! So far, I have received compelted forms for the following characters:

Digan
Arlen
Loraen
Siena
Viraj
Marsten
Izumi
Ronney

If you are on these lists ( [link] ) and have not sent me your FREE ART FORM, please do so as soon as possible so I may go ahead and get started on the rough outline of everyone's characters. I understand that a couple of people don't have access to my dA account and I will be posting this announcement everywhere as soon as possible so I can go ahead and get started.

Also, as an afterthought, if I receive any commissions, those are of higher importance level and I will work on those to completion before going back to the FREE ART. If that's the case, I'll make sure to complete them swiftly, but I'd rather not rush.



God, I am the LAZIEST and SLOWEST artist ever. Period. LOL.

Please fill out this form! Send me the completed form either VIA PM @ The Golden Tether forums ( T'Awh Ni there ), a note VIA DeviantArt, or email me at bikkushin@aol.com.

So you know what that means?

FREE ART.

I've been rather lucky to only have... let's see. A few things on my list of things that definately need to be finished sometime soon, a kiriban and a commission for a regular who, really, doesn't mind me taking my time, then my Wyndrah stuff, buuuut. I rather wait until I've got my mojo flowing to make sure those are done correctly.

So.. I'm going to use this to my advantage, especially since Wed. is the last day of the school quarter for me.

Ten Slots, people! These will *NOT* be sketches. These will be inked, fully cg-ed pieces of high quality along the lines of... of.. Uh. Well, OK, I don't HAVE anything finished, but it won't be anything quick and easy. These free art pieces will be COMMISSION level, but without the price-y fee.

There are THREE conditions, however. One- I have the right choose to do a different style than what you are accustomed to seeing from me. No ifs, ands, or buts. I'm doing this to help generate and get my creativity and productivity flowing once more.

Two- and this is RETARDEDLY important- Keep asking me constantly on the status of your artwork and I'll delete the file and give your slot to someone else. I'm not playing. I *panic* when people start asking 'Is it ready yet? Can I see?' because a) I start rushing b) that leads to a sharp decline in quality and c) it's irritating. No nagging allowed. D:

Three- Sorry, but let's keep the requests PG-13. I want to be able to post all of my work on dA and not have to branch off to my other two galleries.

With that said~ Ten slots and only ten slots for this period! If I get a greater amount of interest than that, I'll start up a wait list. ;3;

1. Ronney [ [link] ]
2. Siena [ [link] ]
3. Therius [ [link] ]
4. Digan [ [link] ]
5. Drystan
6. Fujiyama Izumi
7. Kangaroo Kim
8. Marsten [ [link] ]
9. Ferabird [ [link] ]
10. Vyrvrhovat [ [link] ]

Tally-ho!

Edit: welp, that filled up quickly. Annnnd looks like I WILL be ending up with a Wait List. XD

Wait List

1. Loraen [ [link] ]
2. Moriko00 [ [link] ]

Kay, guys, that's it for now! I'll be starting up and working my way to the bottom on Wed.

While working on my Rourk drawing, I made the mistake of COMPLETELY erasing his hand- then saving it.

UGH. That was probably the best hand I drew ever, but I was trying to clean it up and messed up. Sadly, I can tell now that the hand is gone ( erm, this would be his RIGHT hand ) that I messed up on the anatomy and perspective once again. Sigh.

I don't really care much for it, I'm willing to turn a blind eye and accept the mistake. But I just want this damn hand fixed and there's nobody around that I can ask to red-line it for me.

***

Also, I tried digital painting. It was awful. I feel like I'm stuck in a rut and everyone is advancing at full speed ahead. I can only draw headshots and shoulders and I have trouble fitting a whole person in a drawing. And, I dunno. I'm beginning to regret becoming a predominately furry artist. No matter where I go or how hard I try, my furry stuff just isn't accepted or wanted as much as my 'normal' art. And that makes me sad, that furries have developed such a stigma that it's not even a particular style of art anymore, it's just a pure damn nasty fetish. I keep thinking of just getting up and taking my furry characters and making them human, and leaving Furcadia. When I really think about it, I honesty just don't really care for art that much anymore because it's all just one huge popularity contest- who can draw the best fanart, who can emulate so and so's style, etc.

There's one person in particular that I've been thinking a lot about recently on the subject of art and popularity and why I'm viewing myself in such a negative light, and, well. I don't talk to this person anymore. Long story, I'll try to condense it before getting back to the main topic.

I think the reason why I just gave up on them was because of the way they handled a certain situation pertaining to a mutual friend. With the way they treated said friend, who was genuinely confused and was trying to make things better, I knew that I didn't want to stay friends with someone who acted like that. And then I got the impression ( and by impression, I came to realize ) that about 75% of the time said person talked to me, it wasn't because they were generally interested in what I was up to, it was to show off what they did and get compliments. The second the conversation steered away from them, the interest dropped. I also remember IMing them pretty often when they had been online for a bit, only to either receive a)nothing or b) an away message that just *happened* to pop up mere seconds after I IMed. If I was lucky to get a response, it was a 'I'm busy'. So, yanno, after dealing with that for a x amount period of time ( oh, say, what? Three, four months? ), a person would get the notion that they just aren't interested, right? So why bother anymore? I am not going to sit there and wait like a dog waiting for it's master. I have things to do and other people to talk to. In any case, I felt as if I was dragging them down anyway. I was nowhere near their level, I don't even know how I became friends with them in the first place. Pure damn luck, I bet. Maybe even pity. But yeah.

After the connection just dropped, it wasn't as if I didn't stop caring for or admiring said person. Perhaps I was a bit bitter and angry, but that didn't mean I wished ill on them. So I pretty much lurked, watching their dA, reading their little entries.. and then I noticed something. The instant that whatever connection between us snapped, they all of a sudden had a surge of good fortune, prosperity, and artistic flourishment. You can imagine how I felt about that. My self-esteem? Dropped. Like a fucking *rock*. It was like, oh shit, the very second the strings were cut, I was wallowing in filth and they leapt into the clouds of heaven. It was like a slap to the face, yanno? No, I'm not saying I was jealous or anything. But it was like, 'haaaaay, you WERE dragging them down'!

Anyhoo, while I still have this person on my dA, I'm not sure if they ever bothered watching me back even when we were friends. I don't think so.. I think they commented only when I sent them the link to something I drew. I dunno, it's been a while. So, yeah, I don't have to worry about them reading this. I just really wanted to get this off my chest and, well, have SOME sort of excuse as to why I haven't gotten *anywhere* with my art for the past year. I've only really talked to three people about this- two of them weren't even involved. So.. havng something this heavy on my conscience wasn't exactly the greatest.

Right then. Ok. I think this has gotten long enough. Shutting up now.

I'd like to start taking commissions PROPERLY for once in my life, but I know I'll never do anyone right by them.

Like I said, pot, meet kettle!

Poor Maus-chan got annoyed with me because I took it upon myself to wriggle my way onto her dA gallery and post the same comment she put in one of my friend's entries, which eventually turned into a long chain of inappropiate, immaturity on her part.

SOOOO I did the one thing the muffin is best at- annoy the fuck outta her in return.

Not so cute when someone else does it to you, isn't it? I do believe you are the one who needs to 'grow up'. Telling people that they suck cock is not very lady-like and mature indeed when they defend themselves from unnecessary commentary. ]]> ~buttermuffin http://buttermuffin.deviantart.com/journal/9147324/ http://buttermuffin.deviantart.com/journal/9147324/ Thu, 22 Jun 2006 11:22:22 PDT

Who wants to buy art off me for cheap? :/ Hell, I'll do remappable ports. I'll do normal, IC ports instead of OOC ones! I prrrrrroobably don't have the time to do any full body sketches, but headshots? I'm game.

Tell me what you want, make me an offer, but I won't take anything less than 5$ for a port. Link this entry everywhere. If you need more OUTSTANDING examples of my artwork, which isn't really saying much seeing I just now started drawing in a way that I find pleasing, you can look at my y!gallery under the name fauxfaia ( just google it, I'm too lazy to post a link right now ), or my old dA account which is :icon-fauxfaia:. ... and that's proooobably the wrong link coding, but oh well. Just remember fauxfaia.

Yes, my journal entries are chock full of merit and value. Yes, I am SO professional.

This isn't really serious, seeing that I really don't need to be going to an anime con all of a sudden, but I don't intend on buying much while down there. And since I'm not in an OUTRAGEOUS amount of debt, it's not really all that important that I get the money anyway. ]]> ~buttermuffin http://buttermuffin.deviantart.com/journal/8803256/ http://buttermuffin.deviantart.com/journal/8803256/ Wed, 17 May 2006 23:32:01 PDT

He asked for 'Advanced Critique', and I gave him an advanced critique, thank you very much, so don't try to get in my face and bitch at me for doing what he ASKED me to do. He even told people to be harsh, he wanted it, so I'd appreciate it if you'd stop kissing his ass long enough to pay attention to what's going on.

And if you'd take a moment to notice, I DID praise him for his work. So sit down and DRINK YOUR GODDAMNED TEA. ]]> ~buttermuffin
