January 2023 Update

Hi All,

To those who have been following, I want to apologise that I have been MIA since April of last year. After the accident and with the job I had offline, my mental health took quite a tumble. I have since moved jobs and am looking after myself a lot more, which means that I will hopefully be starting up commissions again in the next couple of months.

Stay tuned for updates!

In the meantime, the following skins still have a couple of slots available for sale:

#NA-001: Noctem Aeternus - US$10 (1/3 slots available) #NR-004: No Rest for the Wicked - US$15 (1/3 slots available) #COM-007L: Cycle of Malice Light - US$40 (0/3 slots available)

Hello there. I just wanted to reach out and ask if/when you will be available again for a skin commission? Also, I wondered if you did animanga-style websites? Generally speaking, I prefer to communicate over Discord (HeroOfCamlann#0001). So let me know; thanks so much.

Hi There,

I sincerely apologise that it has been a good six months since you sent this message. I have been offline due to personal and health related reasons. I am hoping to get back into commissions sometime this year (hopefully after I have settled into the new job I just acquired and can figure out what my time is like.

April Update

Back in November of 2021, I was in a car accident that has had me incapable of using the computer for a long enough period of time to both complete my work, take time to write and complete other hobbies, as well as complete commissions; I could barely get two of those things done let alone three. Over the past six months, I've been healing from that injury (with several setbacks along the way), and while I am not perfect, I am feeling a little better than I was before.

All this is to say that I will be starting up with commissions again soon, although I will be extending my turn around time based on my capabilities in the offline world (and how much free time I have). As I have some people still in my queue who I am working with, I likely won't be starting new commissions until around May or June, so stay tuned to this space for an update and the changes to my Terms and Conditions, etc.

In the meantime, I am also offering all of my previously coded skins for half price to clear out old stock and get everything fresh and ready for the new year, so if you're looking to get a skin then look no further. I will only be offering each skin to 3 people after which, they will be gone forever.

#NA-001: Noctem Aeternus - US$10 (3/3 slots available) #NR-004: No Rest for the Wicked - US$15 (3/3 slots available) #COM-007L: Cycle of Malice Light - US$40 (3/3 slots available)

Update

Hi Everyone!

It's been a long while since I've posted something here. I have been experiencing some health issues over the last few months and last November I was in a car accident which resulted in some restricted computer access. I am healing up well (thanks to everyone who has been so understanding of the situation) and am working at clearing my commission queue and getting a backlog of questions answered.

For the time being, commissions are still paused (and my Discord is currently not accepting friend requests), but watch this space as I will provide an update when I am accepting commissions once more. I am available via email for anyone who needs support or has questions.

Hello, I am reaching out with an interest in a fully commissioned Jcink skin set. I do realize you're on a break - totally fine! When you are back to work, I look forward to hearing from you and moving forward with discussions on what we can do for my site <3 Feel better soon! --Ciel

Hi! Feel free to add me on Discord if you have it (BlackPhoenix#5945) and we can discuss your ideas further so that I can get started once I'm off the break!

Temporary Pause Due To Health

Over the past couple of weeks, I have been in and out of the doctor's offices for a series of tests as my health has not been good. Unfortunately, they are still attempting to figure out what is wrong and so I will be putting commissions of all kinds on pause for the time being. Anyone who is currently in my queue will still be contacted, but please expect delays in contact times as a result of this situation - it has been rather physically and mentally taxing.

I will post a new announcement when I am accepting commissions once more.

New Payment Method Available!

My current stock is now available in my new Payhip store in addition to being available by contacting me via email and Discord. View the links to my current available projects below:

Skin #NA-001 - Noctem Aeternus Skin #NR-004 - No Rest for the Wicked Skin #COM-007L - Cycle of Malice (Light)

SKIN #FA-010 - FALLEN ANGELS (personal jcink skin + templates)

A few more previews of my #FA-010 skin that did not fit into the previous post.

SKIN #FA-010 - FALLEN ANGELS (personal jcink skin + templates)

Yet another ambitious personal skin. In addition to the standard features I typically include, this one also includes:

A tabbed main profile

Custom profile/mini profile for OOC accounts

Isotope filtering member list by STARBUCK at SOURCED

Auto-Updating claims list by STARBUCK at SOURCED

Dark/Light Toggle

This skin is a personal skin and is not for sale.

SKIN #COM-007L - CYCLE OF MALICE-LIGHT (multi-sale premade jcink skin + templates)

Final Cost: USD$80 (3 Slots Available)

Included Features:

Colours for ten (10) member groups.

Custom HTML Templates for: forum rows, post rows, board stats, mini profile, main profile, member list, topic rows.

Main Profile coded as a Profile Application.

Header reduces in size in forums and posts.

Affiliates Section with room for: 6 directory affiliates, 24 static affiliates, unlimited scrolling affiliates, and site's button.

Notes and Rules: This skin is one of a set of two personal skins I made approximately a year ago. The two skins together represent approximately 50 hours of coding work, and that is without considering the updates that it has received in that time. As the second (dark) skin in this set is still being personally used (and not available for sale), I am discounting the price of this skin.

The avatar size for this skin is 250x400

There are only a handful of items left in my 2020 stock and they all need to go! If you were ever on the fence about one of my skins or templates, now is the time to purchase as I am reducing all costs one final time! From now until April 30, 2021 purchase my remaining 2020 stock at the following prices (click the titles for skin previews!):

Skin #NA-001 - Noctem Aeternus [US$20]

Skin #NR-004 - No Rest For The Wicked [US$30]

Template #ILS-001 - I Like Shapes [US$5]

Come April 30, 2021 these will no longer be available for sale! Get in while stocks last! You can purchase by emailing me at [email protected] or by reaching out to BlackPhoenix#5945 on Discord.

Due to a sustained wrist injury that has had me offline for a long while I am extending this sale to clear all stock. There are three slots remaining for each the NR-004 and NA-001 skins and two slots left remaining for the ILS-001 template before they are gone for good. If you’re looking for a cheap and easy to use skin or template, then look no further! Sale will be extended until July 31, 2021 or while stocks last.

Injuries are not fun!

As a result of a wrist injury, I have been unable to be on the computer let alone code for some time. I was not aware how much I missed it! I will be working to catch up on all messages and the like over the next week and then will hopefully open up my schedule to more commissions soon. I apologise for any delays in responses that have occurred as a result.

Another set of templates that were made as part of the #AAL-011 commission (albeit after the fact) includes this dating template set. It's loosely based on the OkCupid website set but incorporates some of the same features as the Skype and Instant Message templates previously released to ensure consistency. It is actually a three part set, but I only grabbed screenshots of the first two parts.

The more work I do with this skin and these templates, the happier I am with each subsequent one. It's definitely been mildly challenging (but in a good way!).

Skin Commissions Temporarily Closed

Just a small update to let everyone know that skin commissions will be temporarily closed as I transition into a new job and get used to my new routine. I anticipate that I will reopen commission requests in April, 2021 and will post another announcement at that time. Template commissions will remain open, but please understand that I will be running on a slightly longer turn around time than previously advertised for the foreseeable future. I'm hoping to get settled into my new job and get everything sorted as soon as possible.

Premade skins and templates are still available for sale.

It's been a rather tumultuous start to 2021 for me; with a few projects on the go, insanity at my offline job, and terrible reactions to the COVID vaccination (though I was lucky to get it thanks to working in Healthcare here in Canada), there have been a lot of ups and downs. One thing that has kept me rather grounded, however, is the opportunity to work on different coding projects to keep me focused.

One such project included the design for this music player (not for sale as it was part of a commission) which I am very proud of. Yes, the player actually works and the song and artist name will update as they change! It was rather ambitious as I have never done something like this before, but I've enjoyed the constant challenges that I've been able to experience throughout my last few commissions.

New 2021 Stock Coming Soon!

It has been a rough start to 2021 for everyone, and I’ve certainly been feeling it myself. Hopefully things will be returning to normal soon enough, what with vaccines already being distributed, but who knows what the future holds. One thing the future does hold, however, is some new stock from Black Cat Creations coming over the next few months. I have a couple of skin projects in the works and some ideas for templates that will also be available. If you want to be the first to learn about these new releases, feel free to join my mailing list (simply email me at [email protected] to be added) and you may also get some cool discounts to go along with it! To facilitate this, all my 2020 stock has been discounted to ensure that it clears out before the new 2021 stock comes in, so if you’re interested in purchasing a skin, take a look at what’s available today.
