Hey everyone, long time no chat. I had some serious life issues come up last month and took some time to sort things out and recover.
Everything is okay now and I am eager to get to work on my upcoming multi-species group, Planet Curos!

I have struggled to find any resources specifically for customizing a Super Group. I am totally capable of making my own graphics, backgrounds, and I do know basic CSS/HTML.
However I am hoping to find some basic guides/tutorials/resources that will help me get started quickly so I can launch the group sooner than later.
I am also open to commissioning coding or graphics if needed, so please share any links you may have that would help me!

Also for the Tundrayena DTA held in October, there were no submitted entries (partly my fault due to not opening the group lelll) so I am going to put it aside for now.
It will still be raffled off as a DTA, but I think I will wait until the group is finalized before I host another event. Thanks for your interest!

Hey everyone! Sorry for being so quiet lately, my life has been hectic to say the least (ending a 4 year relationship, moving to Toronto, switching jobs and now trying to find a new place to live again...).
I have launched a Patreon to help me out with my bills/tuition and offer you cool rewards in exchange! Please check it out, and vote on the first poll: what monster girl should I paint next?

As a follow up from my last journal, I am going to start taking "mini" commissions for character art that has simple shading, lighting, and "chibi-ish" proportions.
There are a few restrictions to what I am willing to draw, just to keep me motivated and to help me churn these out at a reasonable rate!
As well, since I want to be fair to myself in how I price these, I won't accept characters that are so complex they will take more than ~2 hours to draw.
I will not value my time below minimum wage (~$12 in my province) so please understand this is not because I don't like your intricate designs, it's just a matter of keeping myself paid fairly!
You will receive the full-sized drawing as a transparent .PNG with a white border and light texture unless otherwise specified.
I hope to complete at least 1 mini a week, but for this first round it will be a bit of an experiment to see how I manage my time with college and work, so please bear with me if it takes a bit longer.
Each slot is for one (1) character only, though you may purchase more than one slot at a time.
If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Restrictions
- ONLY accepting "quad" or "feral" characters, ie. no anthro, humanoids, etc; two legged animals like birds/dinos are fine
- I reserve the right to decline a commission if the character is too complex and would take me too long to complete; if you are okay with it, I may simplify the design
- I will only draw MINIMAL clothing/accessories, like jewellery or a scarf or shawl, nothing complex or time-consuming
- Payment must be upfront, I will not start on a commission before I confirm payment is received
- Each slot is $20 USD to be paid via paypal. I will invoice you so please don't send me money without speaking to me!

Slots
1. Ultravires - Paid
2. Ultravires - Unpaid
3. OPEN

Hey errybody, sorry I have been so quiet lately. Aside from school and work, I recently picked up the new Zelda game and all of my free time has been sunk into running around collecting mushrooms and taking pretty screenshots :')

I wanted to write this journal to make sure I am up to date on everything that I owe to people so I can work out a plan to finish it and clear my todo list.
However many of the commissions I have on my list are extremely old/overdue, and I haven't had any contact with the commissioners in a long time. I believe only one of them has already been paid, though please correct me if I'm wrong.

I want to ask those who have previously asked for a commission/trade/custom design/etc from me to let me know if you still want it, because I have so little time I would prefer to just refund you and clear my list.

I am sorry if this disappoints anyone, but I want to start new commissions that are restricted to simple drawings I can do quickly and easily to reduce stress. I need money, being a broke college student, but when my list includes detailed digital paintings with backgrounds I become overwhelmed very quickly and it's not fair to me or the commissioner when I make them wait for months at a time. There are a handful of people who I have already spoken to and whose commissions/trades I will absolutely commit to finishing (Morghie, KingCorvidae, etc) but if we haven't spoken, please let me know if you are okay with me cancelling the commission and refunding you if applicable. You are of course welcome to commission me again when I open up commissions, though as I said they will be specific simple drawings to keep me motivated and stress free as I finish my college semester.

As well, if you have purchased an adoptable from me and haven't received your full-sized images, please remind me! My Sta.sh is unfortunately quite cluttered and I have lost track of who I need to send these to.
Thanks again to everyone for your patience and support, and I hope to have some simple commissions available in the near future :)
