Hey, DeviantArt. It's been a while.

You have not heard a word from me other than posting here and there, mostly from the help of PostyBird. I want to give you an update on my life and where I am at right now.


I am currently back in college, but I'm going to a bigger and an actual college campus, rather than art school. It's actually one that my family has ties to, so they were really excited that I chose the one that they went to. I won't say which college, but it's pretty big that it has a lot ties to many big animation and video game companies. What came as a shock to me is that this college has it's own airport. To be honest, I don't know how many years I have left and credits I need to finish my degree I have since transferring from an art school to a big college. I've also got my room remodeled. I have a new bed, new shelf and, best of all, a new computer desk. More space and bigger desk for me to move around. I'm still drawing to this day, if that wasn't a surprise.

I will say, with being in college and having a day job, it is a little bit harder to maintain a financial budget a bit more, which I've dealt with before, but it's forced me to give up on certain things just to make sure I have enough for things in college. Sometimes, it does get bad when it reaches single digits. I'm good for now, so no need to worry now. I post every now and then when I really need money that I need to take emergency comms.


That being said, with all the art I am doing, I am still open for commissions for anybody who wants any at all. Prices for commissions will be right here. You can DM me if you want one.

If you don't have any money to spend on a comm, that is totally fine. You can spread the word to friends to see if there interested, or you can give me support by joining my Patreon for rewards monthly, or donate to my Kofi.

You can just join to donate, but when you join on Patreon for higher tiers, you get a sneak peek at an artpack I'm working on, see wips of other projects, and get discounts on commissions if you join. Currently, my artpack is focusing on my character, Beda, my warrior cheetah girl.

Anyway, that's what I wanted to say on the matter. College for me is going good so far and expect a whole lot of art from me whenever. Help support me by either getting a comm, donating to Kofi, or becoming a parton on Patreon.

Hope you've had enough self promotion now, but I wanted to do this cause, as much as I love what I do, I don't want to work at the same day job forever. If you want to know more updates or just things I'm thinking of, you follow me on Twitter. If you don't, honestly, that's totally understandable. I have other places that I'm on, so don't be afraid to check them out.



Thanks for reading all this if you did! I'll be around.

So, because of my financial situation and my school closing in December, I need to make some extra cash in some way. My current job barely helps.

So, I was thinking of selling a bunch of my pony adopts that I have bought over the years, but I've never had a use for. I feel bad that I never used them, but I just couldn't find anything about them that I could do with them.

So, you guys have a chance to get to have them.

If you find any that you like, leave a comment in Sta.sh on the pony that you are looking at.


**UPDATE!!!**

Some more ponies were added! I found some that I didn't know were in the back.

Would anybody be interested in more T-Shirts?

I've been thinking about making more. I've only got two, but there very old at this point. I might update them, but I'd like to make more t-shirts, specifically of Tiny Toons.

I have more ideas, but will see in the future.

I'm starting to get into drawing more and more by the day.

Though, I wanna ask a question in terms of getting popular.

Normally, I just draw whatever I feel like, but now I've gotten to a point where I wanna draw more characters from popular series.

I've drawn video game characters, anime characters, cartoon characters and so on and so forth.

So, just wanna ask, what kind of characters should I draw more of? And should I draw them similar to the art style or my own interpretation?

It's always a back and forth process.
