Hello all! I have literally not been on here in 5evers. my bad friendos XD

Summary!: I moved, laptop died, took emergency commissions, still don't have my own laptop, borrowing one from my best friend (who bought it FOR me @.@), have a new car, changing jobs again soon, moving again soon, Still with the same bf (for now), still have a kitty, still working on art and accepting commissions, dealing with some health issues but nothing major.

So I am currently using a MacBook and it's not bad but it's definitely something I have to get used to for the time being. So far it's been difficult to get artworks scanned in and for an art program to function properly on it. At least the art program is staying on here now. lol I am still not really used to it, and I am vaguely familiar with them since that's what we had to work with while I was in college and university. Oh well! I'm just glad I have the capability of being online again.

Heya guys! I'm so sorry I've been gone for so long. I realize i haven't been online since.... August :/ but I'm going to try to be more active now. I went from working 2 jobs down to one. Hopefully I'll be able to work on art more. because lord knows I need to practice more!

Ok So I apologize for not updating all ya'll more but there has been a lot that's happened recently but I am adjusting to my current situation more now. That could be a bad thing, or a good thing. I haven't really decided yet.

**Ahem**
Moving!
Alright, there are a piece or two that I'll be relocating to my PAWIllustrations page for pretty obvious reasons (IE: they were commissions) But that's not the moving I'm talking about. Also, no worries! I'm not changing everything over and leaving this account (though honestly, I may at some point due to the fact that hardly anyone is active here on this account anyways. Apparently there's 386 followers but a lot of them are no longer on the website T^T I miss them terribly... )
What I mean by "moving" is that in the next couple months, hopefully I'll be moving out of the house and in with my BF and a couple good friends of mine! I am super excited but also super nervous. I'm nervous because this is a big step in my life. I'll be moving to another state and away from home. not SUPER far, but far enough. I'll be away from my family. T^T But I'll be closer to my current job. I'm still kinda working 2 jobs which is really stressing me out. Good news is that I finally have FT hours and with benefits! Woohoo! The benefits don't kick in until June though. And even then, we will see if they will still be active and stuff *will keep an eye on that*
Moving means that I'll be busy and stressed, which in turn means I probably won't me working on a lot of art. (Oooooh like THAT'S a big change..) I know! I'm sorry. I want to make MORE art soon. Like, full illustrations. I just need a decent work space and my materials to do that.


Adoptables!!
It's official. I'm going to give this a try! My Neorivi creatures will be turned into adoptables.
I'll try to have a batch out every month or so and test the waters with my lovely beasties.
So keep your eyes open for this opportunity! I've already drawn out a couple different designs and poses. I've come up with a chart of common, uncommon, rare, and added features to the species list! I'll be doing a huge file for all the info on them. Hopefully this'll help with my digital skills (or lack-there-of) and hopefully these will get better in time! I have a new program that I've been experimenting it that's PRESSURE SENSITIVE! So I'll be able to make better lineart and cleaner lines too! Hopefully.


Try It Tuesdays!
So this is something I've been doing all year and a little bit into the end of last year too. Every Tuesday I take wacky suggestions from viewers on my Facebook page, giving them a chance at a free sketch of their idea. It's not a full blown commission. Half the time they're very messy and sketchy! But it's something that helps me thinking creatively and keeping the creative juices flowing. I am trying to be more active and interactive with art, and this is how I've been able to do it. Mind you, it's all traditional so it takes a couple of days for me to post the works but, I do what i can to get them up as soon as possible. So, if you guys are interested in participating in that, feel free to check out my artist page on facebook. www.facebook.com/PawIllustrati…

Maybe when I move I'll be able to get a better set up and possibly do streams of the art I'm drawing. Maybe. That would me nice. I know I'll have to be making more money when I move out, because rent and food and living is expensive @.@

Hectic life is hectic! To put it simply I am trying so hard to be helpful and to respond to all the new art and all the amazing things you guys have been making but goodness gracious it is being difficult. I'm bouncing between staying at a friend's house for like... a week at a time, LARPing, and maybe a night or two in my own bed. It is wearing me down. It's crazy. I am so tired. But I am trying to art. Promise I finished a commission earlier this month. lol STILL haven't submitted it to my PAWIllustrations page. WHOOPS! oh well. It's on my facebook page at least.

Hope ya'll are good! Love to hear from all ya'll lovely faces.

13 things about me

1. I am a HOOOOOOGE Youtuber commentary play through fan (i know it's stupidly shocking, super foreign of an idea) and I watch a LOT of people. I don't care about how many subscribers they have or any of that crap. But I'm happy to be in so many awesome communities <3

2. My family jokes that I have created my own language- "Janese" because I balk tackwards all the time and create new words all the time. For example - meef and spoodles. It's a food. But what food?

3. I am a LARPer. I have only gone to one LARP, and that's Dystopia Rising, a post-apocalypse horror setting with zombies. But I'm been kind of considering going to other LARPs, just dunno which ones :c

4. Music is a huge part of my life. I listen to music as much as I can and if I am not listening to music then I am playing a song in my head or remembering a song that I haven't heard in a long time, or something will remind me of a song.

5. When I was a young girl I wanted to grow up to be many things: a singer, an artist, or a veterinarian. I am happy I still retain so much animal knowledge, I still am following art as a future job, and that I still sing whenever I can, even if I'm not amazing.

6. I have vivid, lucid, and creative dreams. Sometimes I have out-of-body experiences. Sometimes I am watching someone else as if I was them and experiencing their life as if I was them. There are other times where I have a crazy wacky dream about places I've never been or creatures I've never seen. I usually end up doodling them or writing down my dreams in my phone not pad or a dream journal.

7. I was supposed to be a twin, but apparently I killed my twin in the womb and then consumed them. 0

8. One of the biggest reasons why I love to draw is the meditative state I enter while I'm working on a piece. Nothing matters but what I am working on at that moment in time, creating something and bringing life to it. <3

9. I love scary things. I love horror. I love roller-coasters. I love facing my fears. I love erasing fears. I love confronting fears, except for one or two things. I am scared of swimming in murky waters ocean/pond/pool/river it doesn't matter, because I can't see my body and I can't see what's near my body. I am afraid of the unknown but for good reasons: because it could kill me.

10. I am a rather open person and I am not afraid to tell people about things about me but there are a few areas that I don't talk about and people need to not pressure me into them or I will get mad, I will yell, and I will get aggressive (but I restrain myself from getting physical because I don't like hurting others).

11. I have a strong personality. Apparently I am entertaining, amusing, and seem confident in myself. ok I know I'm stubborn, and I know I'm strong-headed, and maybe it sounds like I am a pushover or I am too nice sometimes, and sometimes that's true too. I live and learn and move on. My past does not hold me back. I won't let it as much as possible. (haha whoops that's like 2 things about me in 1. Oh well)

12. I work as a customer associate at a gas station, part time. It's exhausting: mentally, emotionally and physically. I don't mind it too much, but it is not something I want to do for long. It prevents me from creating because I just can't get my energy up to do it.

13. I am asexual. I only recently discovered this aspect of myself and I greatly appreciate some Tumblr posts for helping me understand that. Like i know there were a lot of things about me that never really made it feel like I was "normal" but I never knew why. I never liked girls. I was never interested in dating someone. I never see people as sexually attractive. I never had a crush. I never experience sexual desire. I never experienced the want to talk or joke sexually. When I dated people it wasn't because I thought they were "the one" and every time I thought about i convinced myself it was because of something that happened in my past, that I wasn't born that way because no one is born that way. Once I read what asexual meant and what different types of asexuality existed I just felt a huge relief off my mind. It was so enlightening but it was also terrifying because I had to tell people about it.

Questions from Annamaru

1. Favorite YouTuber?
SLYFOXHOUND because YES! also Homies Unite!

2. Favorite video game? If you don't have one, favorite phone game? Don't have one of those, favorite TV series?
Dishonored. I love how it is one of the first games that I came across that plays into the idea of the player's actions resulting in different reactions to those actions. Everything has a consequence, so to speak. Yes, it wasn't the first but watching Rythian playing through it, and then watching both results of the actions was amazing and satisfying. The story was also so good in my opinion and I can't wait for the second one.

3. For one month, would you rather: do the same thing everyday but you get to choose what that one thing is, or do something new everyday that's random but it can lead to something extreme like traveling to a new country or being forced to hang out with snakes?
For a month? Oh man... Well I'm usually up for new experiences and it has lead to amazing things. If I don't have prior obligations to have to care for I would 100% be okay with don't something random every day. BRING IT ON! >: D

4. What are your long term goals? And did it happen yet?
I want to be debt free, married, and doing something that I love for my profession. Oh. wait. long term goals? Not my ideal future life? Oh.... wait, what's the difference?  They're still goals! None has happened.

5. Biggest pet peeve?
Oof.... so many and on various subjects! Well If I had to pick one it would probably have to be how some people are just closed-minded bafoons who cannot see things from a different perspective or even attempt to understand a situation through someone another person's eyes. UGH! THEY ARE JERKS!

6. Weirdest thing you've ever done?!
Weirdest? hm.... That's a rather broad term to go by. hm... Probably the fact that I stayed in a tiny tent with someone in the middle of a freezing winter. lol! extreme camping OR! OR! OR the time I shared a hotel bed with a friend's friend who I had only met that night. NO nothing happened. don't even... *glares*

7. Have you ever had a repeating nightmare? If so, what was it about?
Well, yes and no. Ok it's story time Alright so back when I was younger, living in my first home, My youngest sister once was telling everyone about this dream that she kept having about a white wolf with green eyes living in our basement. Amazingly enough I also had a reoccurring "dream" of a red-eyed wolf that was on top of a pile of human bones that lived in our basement. My cousin who ALSO lived with us had a reoccurring nightmare of a red-eyed wolf that would try to attack him over and over again, also on a pile of carcasses and the mouth dripping of fresh blood.. None of us have ever spoken about those dreams until my youngest sister brought it up. None of us shared rooms or even slept in the same room at any point. But we never had those dreams again after that.

8. What is your guilty pleasure?
Eating junk food. Candy, candy, candy!!!

9. Favorite animated movie/series?
I HAVE TO PICK ONE!?!?!?! D: Well... That's tough, but, I would say "How To Train A Dragon" is definitely up there. <3

10. What's your favorite animal?
Funny story! I have two! Ever since I was young I loved tigers and dolphins equally. lol My room is actually split with random things of both! For example, my curtains are dolphins but my blanket is a tiger. <3

11. If you could mix your favorite animal with another animal, what would that other animal be?
Hahaha i would mix them both together! Also, another funny story! I have done this, as a school project!
<da:thumb id="157558892"/> <da:thumb id="157559406"/>
12. Favorite app? Can be phone or whatever other device.
I don't really have one? But I have apps I use daily, so I guess I like them? I play Puzzles & Dragons daily and then, you know, facebook, myMail, Instagram, and Vine.

13. Favorite computer font?
Vivaldi
