Apparently last year I thought my lost $50 counted as an emergency. Well, given the emotional upheaval I was going through at the time maybe it was.
This year, and today more specifically, I'm talking emergency dental surgery. I've mentioned it a time or two over the last few months, but I've been in and out of the dentist's chair since early December. Fillings and root canals and tonight is the eighth appointment, scheduled this morning because ha ha ha ha I can't eat anything. It hurts to open my mouth. It hurts to close my mouth. Talking hurts and chewing is out of the question; every time my teeth come together on the right side it is goddamn agony.
I can't really afford more surgery. This appointment is going on my visa because, obviously, I cannot live without eating. I am lucky that my insurance is covering a portion of the bill, but I've also stretched my compensation to the breaking point. I don't know how much they'll actually cover at this point.
So. Commissions. Haven't done those for awhile. First in, first out. Currently no limit on slots.
Headshots, flat color: $10
Headshots, shaded: $15
3/4s, flat color: $20
Full body, Lined with simple background: $30
Full body, Lineless with simple background: $40
this example should actually be like. $75 because of all those feathers. I like drawing feathers. but wow those took a long time.
Complex backgrounds for all types will need to be negotiated.
Pokemon Crescent Cavern commissions are separate from this, but my brain can't focus past the pain enough to determine prices for that right now. Please drop me a note if you're interesting in a Pokemon commission.

New Set Up
Oh man oh man. I got a monitor arm for my Big Honking Tablet, and it's so much easier to move around and use now. Does this mean I will Art More? God I hope so. There have been so many times where I wanted to draw, but putting the 22" monster into position and then trying to find a way to balance it on the desk (at an angle because. that's how I draw.) without it tumbling off or having to use my upper body strength to brace it was just exhausting to think about, let alone do. I used to pull the little 12" thing into my lap and balance it against the edge of the desk if need be, but definitely can't do that with this one. I've already completed a sketch idea for my deck (which. uh. for those who don't follow me on instagram, ahahahahahahaha oh. oh man. that deck needs SERIOUS repairs. fucking twisted and rotted joists. One day I will get back to art and cosplay on instagram, but for now it's me renovating my house. thanks quarantine), a handful of designs for Crescent Cavern, and I'm
New Drawing Tablet
Welp, it's finally happened. After eight years I'm replacing my Wacom Cintiq. Probably for the best; it's getting harder to source replacements when the animals accidentally destroy parts of it.
Amazon had the Huion Kamvas Pro V22 on sale for roughly 50% off, and when I called mom to get her to talk me out of buying it, I instead got the recommendation to buy it. Mostly because starting next month I actually have to start paying my property taxes. Let me tell you, the palpitations I had when I got an overdue taxes notice from the city practically choked me. Thankfully my lawyer got that straightened out because those were supposed to be paid
Remembrance
Tis Remembrance Day.
Grandpa died one year ago this afternoon.
I'm. not entirely sure how I feel today.
Drawing a lot of pokemon. Not that this is any different than every day of the last couple weeks, but. I dunno. It seems wrong, like I should be doing something more, but at the same I don't know what I would be doing.
My aunt wanted mom to come out for the anniversary (and to go through the last of his stuff. mostly so they could go through the last of his stuff). Mom said no. I'm kinda glad she did. With the snow and the ice and all that fun stuff, I wouldn't want her driving through the mountains thinking about her dead father for se
Vacation
Going on vacation!
This is my first non-convention related vacation in almost seven years. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do without cosplay and schedules involved.
Mom and I are headed to Hawaii for my 34th birthday. The only thing I know for sure that I want to do is see the Pearl Harbor museum, since I am exactly that kind of history dork. But that's not going to take two weeks. Sleeping in the hotel is definitely not what mom is going to want me to do even though that's like. my favorite part of a vacation.
I like sleeping. sleeping is nice.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Other than that, my wrist is finally able to work witho
