Upd8!

Firstly, I have a job! :D I was successful at my recent job interview and they have started me working there immediately. First three days on the clock? I'm working 19 hours and that gets me about £120, in the first week alone. That's almost a quarter of my month's rent and bills and if I get nothing but just 19 hour weeks for the rest of the month I break even. So that's fantastic.

However, I only break even. I'm getting some limited help from my family, and I still have some left in my savings, but I am still a little short for now unless I get some seriously lucky 8r8ks and suddenly get a bajillion hours. That, and my contract is temporary for 12 weeks, and my minimum hours are not 19, but 8. Unless I impress the upper management (which I am striving to do, believe me) it is very likely I will be out of a job come summer, when the market will be even more slim with University students looking to get summer jobs. So with that in mind, I want to announce that I will still be taking commissions.

However. I have something of a backlog of commissions after my recent bout of flu- I am still very much intending to do them. I have one in the works, two or three not started. Once I get those, I'm going to open for commissioned work again, but I may only take a few slots at a time to avoid you the customer experiencing long delays while I schedule working on your art around my work rota, which promises to be busy and taxing indeed. (You see why I didn't want payment up front? Stuff always gets in the way of me being able to sit down and draw, and usually the biggest obstacle is my health and energy levels.) I want to bring you the best quality work that I can provide in the least amount of time, with the least amount of revisions, do-overs and planning time that further delays production. I cannot stress this enough; I draw better animals than I do people! They take a lot less fussing for me to sketch because I can wrap my head around the cartoonism more clearly, for whatever reason. So I will love you to bits if you do commission me in the future, and I will hopefully be able to deliver anything involving animals, anthros, and mythological beasties a lot faster and with a lot less mistakes. Just a little tip for you there. ;)

I am also open to making character icons, sets of roleplay blog reaction images, banners, clip-art style page elements, and I am also open to colouring existing line art so long as permission from the line artist and/or legal copyright holder is given.

I will keep you posted on all developments regarding my financial and artistic situations. I'd like to extend a massive thank you to Ursula <> for her advice and support in my very first professional artistic endevour, as well as a thank you to everyone who has asked for work from me- I promise I will get to you if I haven't yet, and I will let you know as soon as production begins!

I'd also like to thank you all, my followers, and my dear friends who have reblogged my commission info and provided signal boosting when things were looking hairy after I sprained my ankle (which is still giving me trouble but I'm much better now, thankfully!).

Just from the bottom of my little bloodpusher, thank you all!

I think toler8, celebr8 and emancip8 would beg to differ. Also gr8.

I see your point, but I'm going to need at least one example of a person who decided to use the word "emancipate" in a text or other written document, and then also decided that they had so little time, they had to go with the text speak spelling.

(and I know this is not a rational hatred. But can you look at 8 and tell me it's a number you can trust?)

lovesthesoundof replied to your post: For some reason I feel compelled to bite into one...

Ooh, chilis? What sort?

This one is a Serrano. I have the weirdest craving to bite into it. I think I may well do it.

This is for Loves, who wrote the cutest frakking Helena "Five of Twelve" Wells snippet at me over Google chat. I made her a deal before she went to sleep where I would post this and she would post the story after she had some sleep (and it was the easiest deal ever cause that little mini story is so frelling cute it needs to be shared)

SO HERE YOU GO. Helena/Fives effing pet tribble, assimilated to stop it breeding (and making it look fooking adorable in the process if I do say so myself). I hope it is somewhat passable to the one you pictured. I tried to get the description you gave me right but you know ;D. (Also Race look a fucking Borg Tribble!)

Yes, she threw a massive embolism and died. This was meant to teach Eli Stone that he shouldn't have upset the good-true-Christian couple by telling them their recently dead daughter had been questioning her faith, thus persuading them to allow her heart to go to Diane-the-atheist, and that he doesn't get to decide who lives and who dies because that's God's job. (It's that kind of show.)

Seriously? Sheesh!

Oh, I know why I don't remember it; because I only watched Jaime's scenes in the episode so if they talked about it after she died, she wouldn't have been there and I didn't watch it. And here I thought Diane was such a nice, kind, understanding character and that it was great to see an atheist be so understanding of Christians instead of the usual conflict between the two that we always see on TV. Well, I still like Diane but this has definitely put a damper on my appreciating the show.

Thanks again for the info. I'll be sure to add it to the list as soon as I'm done watching Warehouse 13. :)

To add to your Jaime Murray list for "dead": her character in an episode of Eli Stone, Diane Rundlet, died of complications after a heart transplant.

Did she actually die? I remember she got the heart but I don't remember her dying because of complications. I'm not surprised though. It is Jaime Murray after all. I'm more surprised when she survives than when she dies.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping people would point it out if I'd missed something. :D

Spotted your post in the Warehouse 13 tag - if you like Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit", it may be worth your while to look up Blue Man Group's version of the song. (Welcome to the fandom, by the way; we're mostly harmless!)

I will look them up after this episode of Warehouse 13 :) Thanks! I'm sure this fandom is amazing haha :)
