Hello! My name is Megen Nelson and I am 23 years old and trying to go to college. You have arrived at my art! blog, in which you will find commissions, original and fan art and other artsy what-sits I may get up to. I hope you enjoy!

Art Blog Moving

Hello, it's been a while!

Life's been slowly looking up for me, and as a result I've decided to start fresh in some places. I've decided to child this blog to my main fun blog, because it's so much easier to manage that way. I'm also starting up a Wordpress blog.

Here's my new art blog: 

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/megendnelson

I've got a lot of old stuff queued up there, and I'll try and post as much new stuff as I can (which will probably be unfinished crap, but hopefully there'll be some nice bits in there).

Anyway, I hope if you enjoy my work you'll follow me on over! Thank you for sticking with me.

Hitting Bad Times...

So there's a reason I've been silent... I've had an extremely rough last few months. This summer my mother was Baker Acted for severe bipolar-mania after a big fight with my cousin. It's been downhill from there.

I'm now working two jobs, and am still attempting to finish college. I drive 1 and 1/2 hours to work almost every day, and still have to find time for school, which I'm not doing very well. Before I managed to trade shifts, I was scheduled 50 hours of work this week. I don't receive any federal help except in the form of loans, I don't have an extensive scholarship save for 2 out of like 50 or 60 I applied to over the summer, totaling about $1900. I may be required to repay one of the scholarships I received this semester because it requires full time enrollment (4 classes) and I cannot continue face to face classes while working 9 - 5. I'm failing another class. The others are online, so I can work with those. I have been advised to drop it, since I've fallen too far behind to catch up.

I have a 3.8 GPA and over 100 hours of community service, collected for the specific purpose of scholarships, but I've recieved rejection after rejection.

I've set up a GoFundMe with artwork as perks to try and cover my tuition for my last year of college. I've asked friends and family for their help... and now I'm asking you.

I will do personalized artwork for you in return for your donations.

If you have it in your heart to help me finish my college degree, please consider donating. If you can't donate, please share this link.

Here is the link: http://www.gofundme.com/flhq38

And here is a picture of me being my nerdy self:

I will be updating my GoFundMe with my GPA info and some other documents when I get a chance.

Thank you so much for considering me... :)

DOCTOR WHO AND TEEN WOLF BUTTON GIVEAWAY!

Wewt! So, in celebration of finally getting my crap together and setting up my Etsy shop, I’m giving away some of the things on there! :)

Above you will see my Doctor Who and Teen Wolf button sets, and I’m giving away both to two separate winners!

All of these buttons were drawn and designed by me and assembled in a professional button maker with the help of a couple of my friends (One of them was a guy named Janniel who is here!) so they are one-of-a-kind! They will also be signed :)

So, what you will get:

The DOCTOR WHO winner will receive:

All 7 Doctor Who button designs, featuring: - 1 button of the 10th Doctor - 1 button of the 11th Doctor - 1 button of the TARDIS - 1 button of the TARDIS in space - 1 button of the sonic screwdrivers - 1 button of the 3 Doctors (10, 11, and the War Doctor) - 1 button of a Dalek

A 9x12 original sketch by me! - It will feature any one or two Doctor Who characters of your choice! - Pairings okay too!

The TEEN WOLF winner will receive:

All 3 Teen Wolf button designs, featuring: - 1 button of Stiles - 1 button of Scott - 1 button of Darek

TWO 9x12 original sketches by me! - They can feature any Teen Wolf character you want, up to 2 characters each! - Any pairing as well!

The shipping will be paid by myself, so it’s completely free! Just give me about two weeks to get the sketches done and it’s all yours! :)

Here are the rules:

A blog post will also be made announcing the winners!
