$20 Character Portraits in Daz

//Hey all! Hope everyone is doing well.

Over the past year, I’ve been working on building my skills in Daz 3D, and I’m at the place where I feel comfortable offering certain types of commissions, within a set of limits (which I detail in the site linked above).

These past few months have been quite lean financially, so I thought I’d kickstart my Daz commission work by holding a sale event. So for one week, I’m holding a $20 Character Portrait Event.

If you want a character portrait, please go to the page and read through everything carefully before sending a request. There are some limits to what I can do with this software.

Also, please use the contact form on the main site to send any commission requests; don’t send them here.

I am taking a limited number of commissions at a time, but as of right now all slots are open.

//Posting another reminder that I’ve pretty much moved to Discord for role playing now. I’ll be doing most of my writing from a group server, so if you’d like in, feel free to drop me a note and I’ll give you an invite link!

I haven’t been writing much lately (just some in-character chatty stuff) but I’ll be getting back to it when the muse returns.

//Oh, look, Beta hit and broke everything.

Once again, if you want to keep writing our threads, I'll be doing it from a Discord server, so p.m. me for an invite link.

#sending through for the evening crowd #again most threads will be done in the server #i won't one-on-one RP in private chat unless i've known you pretty well for a long time #just for my own comfort level #and even then i usually prefer the centralized location

#i'm more comfortable writing in a server than one-on-one #so i probably won't do the latter unless i know you pretty well

//Taking a hiatus from writing on Tumblr.

If y’all want to keep writing, I’ve got a small Discord server for it. Message me for the invite link.

#kinda done with this site lol #reblogging myself

//TFW you’re gone from Tumblr so long that when you get back, they’ve redecorated.

Also, hello. I miss all of y’all.

//I have a Very Important Question.

Who would win in a stubbornness contest– Harry Dresden or Steve Rogers?

#;)

//Selectively opening for askbox roleplay for Harry Dresden on @almostlikeitsmagic. So come yell at me there if anyone wants!

//Still more or less on hiatus on all blogs, but I am getting a little glimmer of muse again now that we’re on hold with the moving stuff. I might do something small, somewhere, over the weekend, maybe askbox stuff. I’m probably not going to try to reply to any threads just now though.

#honestly bucky steve and harry are all three starting to wake up just a bit #so i'm not sure where i'll hold the askbox thing if i do #i'll let y'all know #but honestly now that i'm thinking about it i kinda do want to do that #i'll post something about it after i've caffeinated

//Taking incremental steps towards building a daily art practice again.

This means... very small daily minimum goals for now. Like, very small. Until I can build momentum up again.

It feels kind of silly, kind of ridiculous. But I guess I have to start somewhere. And it’s better than doing nothing at all.

#ooc #minimum goal means i do *at least* that much #once i get going with it i usually do more #didn't tonight but #i got started late and i'm worn out

//I... procrastinated today. I meant to hit the drawing in the morning, never did. I finally sat down to do it tonight, and... yeah. I accidentally broke my Wacom pen the other day. I thought I’d fixed it but the pressure sensitivity was still not working. And the tablet’s an old model, so buying a new pen for it is out of the question.

I do have a backup tablet, an XP-Pen, and it is tiny. Like a little bigger than a post card. I installed it and played with it a bit tonight, and it seems to work okay. It’s just... very, very small. But I suppose it’ll do the trick until I can get a new full-sized tablet.

Setting strong intentions RIGHT NOW that I will actually sit down and Art tomorrow, and not procrastinate all day again.

#i mean #i guess it's good that i'm fighting the lethargy and lack of motivation #it's just... really hard to do things sometimes #seems harder than usual lately #i do plan on getting a new full-sized Wacom or a comparable brand as soon as I can afford it #just kinda tight right now #ooc

//Dreams be like, “Hey, you’ve got a pet eldritch horror dog-thing with tentacles that you’re training with positive reinforcement and lots of treats, and it turns into a regular dog as you do this, and that is TOTALLY NORMAL AND REALISTIC.”

//Today, I art.

#i ended up taking a commission to help with moving expenses.#(though now i have no idea when we're actually moving)#i have 2 projects promised now that i am going to be hitting this week.#please wish me luck because i have been STRUGGLING to do ANYTHING lately #but especially art #and i really really need to get back to it #it's really not an option anymore #ooc

//Our latest attempt to sell the house (to a potential investor) fell through, and the property we had reserved awhile back is going back on the market. So that’s a thing that is happening.

It looks like we may be here for awhile after all. To be quite honest, I think we need to sink a little money into house repairs before we can consider selling. It’s literally falling down around our ears. Nobody wants a risky investment like that.

Hard to say what’s going to be happening in the coming months. I’m going to unpack some of my essentials and try to get back to doing things again. I’ve been in a weird state of paralysis lately, and I need to pull myself out of that.

So. Maybe expect art and writing in the coming weeks. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

//Hi all. Just a friendly little check-in. I’m still alive. Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately; just don’t have it in me to interact much at all these days. I’ll be back eventually.

Yes, I’m still on hiatus. Not sure how long that’ll last at the moment.

Hope everyone’s doing okay. <3
