[July 7, 2015] 400 Watchers!

  So in about a week and a half, it seems like a hundred more people have come aboard the train, so thanks a lot for that! As little as I ever imagined 300 people, 400 just seems like I've hit the lottery somehow...Seriously though, thank you. q.q

Streaming

  I've been holed up trying to finish/start a ton of stuff, so I figured it'd be easier if I got back into streaming. I'll be trying to do that more regularly at night, since my bedtime isn't getting any earlier anyway. This ensures though that if there are days when I find myself relaxing for the majority or just being burnt out, I'll always be able to get a little work done at the end of the day, since I can't exactly just get on a stream and do nothing. Minimum of an hour, will probably be it. I'm not gonna promise every day, but I'll be doing it as often as I can and it'll be around 12:00 EST, most of the time if I remember to do it.
  

Character Contest

   If you've noticed your journal section getting spammed by updating the journal, you're probably aware by now that I've got a contest going on. Sorry about that, if it's annoying, but I do wanna make sure everybody knows, since technically, even though it's an art contest, the raffle portion is free. All it'll cost you is the amount of time it takes to make a comment saying you've added it to your favorites, any you're in. :3

Also, as an update, the raffle portion is up to 500:points: now, rather than 200.



  Self advertisement feels annoying, to me, so I do dislike having to do it...but here I am. I would love it if you joined, but I'm not gonna twist your arm. Speaking of joining though, here's a list of people who have the contest in their favorites, but  have not entered the contest yet.

Pending Entries

  If you're in this section and intending to enter the contest, please post a comment on the official Contest journal that you have added the journal to your favorites and you will receive your raffle numbers.

Commission Price Ideas [Poll]

  I've continued to receive commissions from friends and by referral so far and while the prices seem to be working out alright in that regard, I'd still love to see some input on that poll on the front page. I'd very much appreciate some answers there. :3



Discount Ideas

  I've been thinking this one over a bit and I think what I'll do is an idea I got from Tercium that I appreciated quite a bit. What they did was have every third commission half off. In this case, of course, there'd be some restrictions to it being the same category and order, so no mix matching there. Can't order two $1 commissions to get a $25 one half off.

  But yeah, I'd just keep track of who exactly bought what and after buying two, no matter how far it is between, next one's half off. I think that'll work. Certainly got me buying more of Tercium's commissions. (Check out their art, it's awesome. :3)


Finished Pieces



  This was a fun one to complete and took me by surprise, honestly. It was a commission, as well. Always happy to get one, especially without being open yet. It's sort of encouraging to think of people valuing my work like that even without me trying to sell it. Also made for a relaxing day of tablet practice, so thank you again, Ahumanstory . :3

[Request] Alavon - (Colored Sketch) by Voleno

  This was for AKFeniks for the 1 year anniversary of their story. Occasionally when special things come up, I've been jumping people ahead in the list. While it does create some more wait for the other projects, I do feel like it's the right thing to do. Either way though, this was a fun one to finish and I got to experiment with more. Was especially happy with the jean material and some of the foreshortening. Background I'm not too thrilled on, but hey...still a request. :3

Art Trades

  I will be addressing To-Do list items when taking a break from working on commissions.

Kiriban Prizes

  I will be addressing To-Do list items when taking a break from working on commissions.

Requests

Will be addressing To-Do list items when taking a break from working on commissions. Emphasis will be more on the ones I've already started just 'cause...well, I've already started them. It'll be a simpler task to finish them.

 Also, as usual, you're welcome to confirm your place in order still with just a note. It's gonna mean a little less right now though, since I'm trying to get the ones done that I've started.

Conclusion

Thanks for sticking with me so far, everybody. I look forward to growing and improving my skill and being able to do even more for all of you and for myself.

Also...this is a total aside, but if anybody could recommend some good stretches for people who sit at home all day...I'd love to hear your suggestions...We'll say it's for a friend. XD
