Does the word "busy" look weird to you yet? Anyway, I apologize for not sharing any new art in a little while, guys, but as you would have it, back-to-school season is in full swing, and Best Buy has me working steady yet irregular hours to make sure these students get the shit they need. Literally every other customer I've had has either been a student or the parent of a student ready to send their little darling off to college, and with the increase in closing shifts I've had lately, I haven't been able to get a whole lot of artwork done, personal or otherwise.
Thankfully, though, I had a couple days off in a row, and with the free time I've had, I've finally been able to continue what I've been working on! In fact, I can even tell you right now that I will be uploading my next commission piece TONIGHT. It is very nearly done! I think a lot of you will be quite pleased with what you see~ Although now that I'm taking these on and knocking them out, and as I approach a soon-to-be empty plate of necessary work to be completed, I have to wonder...
What should I do to celebrate the completion of all of these commissions? Any ideas? I'm open to any and all suggestions! Save for "draw my oc" or something like that, of course. I don't take requests. I'll say that again: I DO NOT TAKE REQUESTS. Still getting a lot of notes from people who want me to draw something for them for free, and I'm sorry, but with my schedule, unless I'm being somehow compensated for it, I really can't be spending my time on that.

*CLOSED* OPENING FIVE COMMISSION SLOTS!
AAAAAND *CLOSED!!* THANKS SO MUCH FOR REACHING OUT!! Due to an emergency financial situation, I am opening commissions for the first time in ten years!! These will be limited to only FIVE SLOTS, and they're gonna go fast!! If you're interested, DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS JOURNAL! Instead, send me a note with a BASIC SUMMARY of what you'd like to see! No walls of text! Please confirm that you also understand my rules and rates! Once your slot is confirmed, please allow between 1-3 weeks for your commission to be completed. This will depend on complexity! I will work on each piece one at a time, so as not to become overwhelmed! I'm still job searching, after all! If you're unable to secure a slot, but are still interested in commissioning me, please let me know and I will place you in a waiting list. If production goes smoothly, I'll create a queue for future commissioners. Please note that I cannot guarantee that I will have time to take your commission! I hope you understand! Thank

NO MORE SECRETS! - Kyanite + a NSFW preview..?
I have a nasty habit of being exceptionally secretive about my projects and characters... And frankly, I'm tired of it. Up until recently, what would usually end up happening is the project would never get started, and I end up having to shelve entire concepts and characters that no one else has ever seen. It's time I pull back the curtains on some of my forgotten projects, starting with one of my fan characters that's not often seen these days: Kyanite. Despite being little more than a fun fan character created at the peak of Steven Universe hype, I had grand aspirations to make a full-fledged fan comic dedicated to telling her story. What's more, is that Kyanite was never intended to feature alone. There were always plans to incorporate two more brand new Gems into her story. These two went through a lengthy development process, carried out entirely in secret. No one else so much as knew they existed, beyond this teaser doodle I drew over four years
BACK TO WORK! + Memories of Arcadia update!
Hey, deviantART! Been a little bit since I shared a journal here! I have some important news to share! I got a call from my manager just the other day. I'll be returning to work on Monday, June 15th! I'm no longer furloughed! This is great news, to be sure! ... Except for one major problem... While furloughed, I've been able to draw on unemployment insurance, as well as receive $600 a week from the CARES Act. You'd think I should be sittin' pretty now, being a married man, assuming the two of us should both be reaping the benefits. Unfortunately, that's not the case. My wife was furloughed well before I was, and received her first two unemployment checks... But that's it. Not only has she not received her last three unemployment checks, she's not received a single CARES payment. We used that first month of mutual payments to pay down credit card bills and other necessities, but now we've been relying on my CARES funds to keep stable. Once I go back to work, I will no longer be able

This is why I don't wanna do retail work. Too demanding! XD Then again we could all be working for the guys in Office Space...
Good you have some time off now though! I'm getting 6 days off next weekend to go to a convention, woo! XD
In terms of ideas? *rubs chin* Well I loved how you did Marceline, so either perhaps drawing currently popular chicks in your own style or perhaps practice drawing your own OCs in other styles? My missus does that now and again. She's already done DBZ, Adventure Time, Scott Pilgrim styles, just something funny to play about with. Just a thought. X3
