Anyway, I make due with what I have for now and so I’ll be grateful that I can even do digital art at all. I’m just so frustrated by money. I know my mom is too, it’s hard on everyone. Perhaps I can snag a few actual paying commissions soon and buy myself a new tablet. <3

So for now, here is my latest speedpainting. It’s a Gaia commission piece I did for Arashi Erina @ Gaiaonline .com and I had so much fun with it. Particularly feathering her hair. Speedpainting – Arashi Erina

Anyway, it turned out really well. I’m quite pleased, even if this piece wasn’t my best. +1 like for the video if you see what I did with the hand. ;D Click me for the video!

It also bugs me when I lose to a team that’s utter crap, but my team couldn’t pull it together long enough to make any progress. -__-

Anyway!

I’ve got a commission on Gaia (not for real money) to finish up and I’m doing some freebies in the Valentine’s Day event thread. It’s been wonderful passing around art for free and I’ve even got a few pieces myself. ^_^ I’ll have to wander around to different threads after the event and keep chatting with people, there’s just so many awesome artists to keep track of.

On another note, I had to take my big fluffy kitty Junior to the emergency clinic last night. He had a big ball of poop stuck to his fur and we  weren’t sure if he could go to the bathroom. I was trying to get it out myself, but I think it hurt him. He would hiss and growl at me, but Bitty Junior is so sweet that not once did he try to scratch or bite me. Poor thing. $200 later, he was doped up on pain meds and had a shaved butt. Now we need to find a way to get him to the vet for shots and a groomer to get the ugly knots out of his fur. D: We also bought our own shaver and some waterless shampoo, so we can groom him ourselves once he’s initially taken care of.

It’s been a busy weekend.

Also, on a side note; kneeling on hardwood floors for any amount of time makes me soooo sore. x_x It doesn’t help that I banged my shin last night in the dark.

On top of building up my community ties in SWTOR and revamping this blog (which my mom will probably do most of, not gonna lie) I’ve got to find a job as well. I’ve been staying with a friend and using his desktop all the time, but once I move back with my mom I’m going to need my own setup. Which means I need a laptop. Which costs money, so hence the need of a job. Besides, I can’t stand sitting around doing nothing but artwork and social networking all day with some solo gaming thrown in. I get antsy. A job would be good for me for many reasons. However, with the economy the way it is… Well, jobs seem hard to come by and the ones that are actually there are being fought over like hyenas over a freshly abandoned carcass.

I did indeed just liken a job to a freshly abandoned carcass.

Well, while I’m sitting here sipping at my Godiva Dark Chocolate Raspberry coffee with Bailey’s Hazelnut creamer, I suppose I’ll post one of my latest art pieces. I’m actually quite fond of it. I’m taking commissions at the moment too for some quick cash. If you’d like a piece, let me know what you’re willing to pay for one (no less than $20, this stuff takes a lot of time) and we’ll see if we can’t come to a deal. ;D They are digital paintings, done fully in photoshop. I’d be willing to look into printing them as well, though that will cost a lot more than $20.

So here it is! My latest pieces, a painting of my Jedi Sage, Adala. Cheers!
