First off, I want to thank everyone who gave me giftart on my birthday or are in the process of a late gift or simply taking the time to say happy birthday. You guys rock.

Now onto the more serious topic.

Lately I've been gazing through other fursuit commissioner's websites and it shames me to think I don't have one. I use to have a website but the sever on which I hosted my commissions and whatnot years and years ago was so filled with holes and bad icky stuff and google ads up the ass to choke a horse, that I closed down the site and haven't gone back since.

However, being that I am getting into the swing of commissionings and I really am in a pinch for money with job seeking still a walk in bile-filled sewer water, I probably need a website to display my commissioning prices and whatnot so others can go "Hey! This person's got a little bit of talent and me without a costume for (insert event here), maybe I can hire this person out." and share with friends and fans of the same genre.

So, I want to hear from Fur fans, friends, and cosplayers what website site I should try to open up a free account web page to that won't be so eat up with ads and viral crap. Also, to the furry fans out there I know visit my page once and a while, where is a good place to advertise my availability in commissioning suits without having to be already popular to receive attention. I have yet to attend any Fur cons so that asset is not yet apart of me, once again money issues.

I may place an ad of my availability here on DA's ad page and keep it updated until the site is up or I have a few commissions.

Also curious if there is any such thing as Steampunk gatherings? Not an a convention like cosplayers and fur fans go to, but more of the live action role play type. Loving the fandom, I have of course branched off into designing wears for steampunk just for the LARP world, from potion bottles, to iffy little gadgets from junk and costumes and sofore. I would like to join a group, preferably in the Georgia/Atlanta area.

Thanks for your time, and will be finishing off DarkNation pretty soon ^^

Still open for commissions. I don't want to miss out on a convention or go and fookin' starve because I didn't save enough money up to other's standards and be more miserable than enjoyable (and no... I still don't have a job, where I live sucks more than a drain pipe on any openings. I hate begging but when people want me at cons and places, I don't want to disappoint unless things happen beyond my control and can't go. )

Copy/pasted from .... Sadly its true...

People need a damn wake-up call. >:-|

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain
Why the early bird gets the worm
Life isn’t always fair,

and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

He declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an Aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home without the burglar suing you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers: I Know My Rights; I Want It Now; Someone Else Is To Blame; and I’m A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

Birthday coming soon...... whoopie.

Where has the time gone? Definitely need to do more things in life... like.. I dunno. I'll think about it.

And as to why I'm not really excited about my birthday on the 19th... pretty much given up on the idea of wishful thinking of people doing any sort of gift art. People use to, only because in the past I was reminding them constantly as if it was a big deal to me. Was in the past so I didn't feel like just roleplay fodder and only appreciated for fanart I did. Now.. turning 22.. I don't care anymore. I don't expect anyone doing anything for me much anymore on birthdays. I use to do giftart for a few friend's birthdays but even that seems to be glanced over.

So what am I gonna be doing on Monday, the 19th as I turn 22? Work on costumes all day before going out to eat dinner as I have been doing every year to a japanese restaurant as unlike alot of city dwelling folks, I don't have the luxury to go more than once a year, twice if I'm lucky with a cosplay group.

So yeah... whoop-dee-do. Nothing's fun anymore.



And I'm still broke and trying to get commissions to fix my damn car and pay dentist bills. I need better recognition for my commissions, mainly my fursuit costumes

Shameless self promotion of two new AMVs I made for the Resident Evil fans. Comments greatly LOVED.

[link] : Leon is Indestructible

[link] : Degeneration: Breathe Into Me


Need to find cutscenes of Crisis Core, I know there's a way without clipping off the bottom to remove the subtitles in the Japanese version for the HD scenes. Just can't figure it out. Help me out?

I need to finish one more Resident Evil AMV and then work on some FF7 ones.... as well as video for fursuits when I get full suit orders in.... if I get any in :/
