Hey guys! Long time no journal. I just wanted to let you guys know that I graduated from the Veterinary Technician Program and :drumroll: by IceXDragon passed my VTNE meaning once I turn in my transcript and get my official document in the mail, I am officially a licensed veterinary technician. I'm still working at a Hallmark store but hopefully soon I land a job at a vet hospital/clinic/shelter(/zoo?). Wish me luck. I have technically had more time for art but after having not drawn in so long its been hard to have the motivation to get that ball rolling again between...continuing to get my life together. That's about it <3

The title of the journal is a reference to this video

Thanks for reading c:

And I'm still a live! Hi guys. I just wanted to make a quick journal thanking everyone for the birthday and well-wishes <3 I've had quite a few people reach out to me, a surprising amount really, and its been really nice knowing people still think of me, watch me, look forward to my artwork and comic. I'm truly grateful. I have been making progress on the story still, with nearly 75% of the story written, another 15% in some sort of outline/conceptualized state, and the remaining 10% slowly being figured out. I have also been slowly working on new character designs for the first arc, as well as making a website for the series. As always, work, school, and life have been slowing me down. I'm nearing the end of this semester, and next semester will be the end of my second and last year of my Veterinary Technician program. After that will be internship and taking the exam to become licensed, so you could say education is becoming more intense. Things like intubation, assisting in surgery, and working with large animal are on the horizon. Its intimidating but also exciting. 

Things have been positive other than recently needing to put down our cat :C He was ancient though, and sickly. RIP Snuggles. 

I had a wonderful Birthday, and tomorrow I'll be flying home from spending a week at my boyfriend's family's house for thanksgiving, having met them for the first time, its been a blast!

So again, thanks for reading and thinking of me. I'm sorry I have no art to offer, but perhaps I will be able to be a bit more active in the, hopefully, somewhat near future.

Hi Everyone

4 min read
This post is very over due. I just wanted to update you all on what has been going on. I'll try to keep it brief as I can without leaving anything out. First of all I want to acknowledge that I haven't really been active ANYWHERE online. This is for a few reasons. While I was able to maintain a some what consistent existence on a few sites during my last school year, things changed afterwards. Over the summer I had three jobs, and that changed to two during the beginning of last semester. My classes for my veterinary tech program have been both difficult and rewarding and between school and work its been an emotional ride. I nearly failed one of my classes last semester but I managed to pass with a decent grade. This semester I have twice as many classes, but its come with a different challenge. Part of the reason it took me so long to write this journal is because I didn't want to say anything before I was certain of how things would be, but still nothing seems certain. There was a financial aid hiccup and while I'm starting to see the end of that issue, its still unclear how I'll be able to maintain my classes and two jobs after solving that. 

While I have had free time here and there, my motivation to do art plummeted from stress and guilt, and with it went my desire to look at any social website. I apologize for my silence. 

I still have very little inspiration for art. I haven't drawn anything truly substantial digitally since April. I have managed to draw some things traditionally though so it hasn't entirely left me.  

While my art has been at an all time low, I've managed to stay creative in another way. 

After giving it a huge amount of consideration, I've decided I want to start TLB from the beginning. It was in dire need of redoing with improved artwork and more solid writing. I saw so many flaws in the last iteration and I know I started the comic not worrying about the artwork because I just wanted it to be made as a challenge to myself, the story has grown into something much larger and I intend to treat it as such in its next incarnation. 

I've completely rewritten my world building, and I've written a new script all the way up to chapter 13 at this time. 

When I start drawing again, I plan on posting all of my concept art online for you guys to comment on, make predictions and hopefully enjoy. 

I plan on giving the comic a new and improved style while still keeping to its semi-realistic and dark roots. I hope you guys will look forward to it as much as I do! 

One more thing worth note would be, over the course of December, me and Hobbes(Dehaha1) have happily formed a relationship <3 He makes me so happy. I wanted you all to know who has been helping me through these hard times most of all. Send him all of your love!

To end this, I want to say there are quite a few of you I miss talking too. I know its not the easiest to reach me online anymore but I am on skype almost all the time now and days. So feel free to ask for my Skype, I'd love to talk and keep in touch <3

Thank you for reading! I hope everything is well with you all.

I’m going to multistream with my friend Hades for a while if anyone wants to watch and hang out. I’ll be working on a design commission - a poisonous war hound - so it should be fun.

COMMISSIONS

2 min read

Thats right! I’m doing commissions again and I would appreciate it if you would consider commissioning me, or at the very least, tell your friends!

I am in DIRE need of more money. After needing to replace the gas tank in my car, a lot of the cost was taken from my rent money, which puts me in a hole of debt. Not only that, but unless I’ve get a deferment, I will need to pay a student loan payment soon with money I simply do not have. I did have three jobs, but I had to quit one to make sure I had time to study and clock in required clinical observation hours for my Veterinary Technician classes. The textbooks were very costly as well, even after renting/buying used for most of them. To top it all off, I’m going to need to save up money to pay for rabies vaccination shots. Without them I will be unable to complete my Vet Tech courses, and they are very costly shots that are rarely covered by insurance. That’s why it would mean a lot if you spread the word!

Commissions start at $10 for a full body, detailed sketch! Additional cost for line art and colors can be discussed. Also, headshots are half the price! I accept most fan art commissions, and I also do character/creature designs. I only ask that the commissions are mostly SFW. I don’t draw porn, however I will draw nudity and gore at my discretion. 

THANKS FOR READING!
