Got those Dishwasher Blues




"...from my hat to my shoes~" :sing:


Ahem, sorry. Anyway, since our old dishwasher was kinda dying, Mom and Dad ordered a new dishwasher from Best Buy. It was scheduled to come Tuesday of last week, but the delivery got delayed into the evening of the following Friday. When that finally arrived, they had already uninstalled the old one when they realized that--due to an error in the sale--they'd brought the wrong color dishwasher and had to take it back.


That left us without a dishwasher for the next couple of days until yesterday when the correct new one came. ..........I'd like to say that, but the dishwasher was a no-show again. Dad's been on and off the phone with customer "support" today, but he keeps getting the run-around and never gets anywhere. Meanwhile, I've gotta do all the dishes. ALL OF THEM. :|










Ask Koops




Meanwhile, I started one of those ask blogs on Tumblr a few months back. One for Koops of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, to be exact. The blog is both an ask and an RP blog, and I'm even willing to have Koops interact in RPs with not only non-Paper Mario characters but non-Mario characters in general.


Overall, it's been a fun experience. I've enjoyed playing Koops and expanding upon his character to act as him posting on the Internet. And I've met quite a few really good friends playing as other characters with me. Koops reached his 100th follower about half a month ago, and he's currently at 119.


If you want, you may feel free to come ask Koops a question yourself. If it seems like it's taking awhile for him to respond, chances are I'm probably drawing an illustration to go with it.










Other things you'd know if I didn't ignore my journal thing too much lol




Well, in case you're wondering, my dog has perfect 20/20 vision again. She still had to get drops in her eyes for some time after getting her clean bill of health, but she's thankfully seeing clearly again.


I got a few nice things for my birthday, which was early June. Things like a couple of sketchbooks--since my last one was just about out of paper at the time--and rechargable battiers to replace the ones I had that kept losing their charge every other day.


I'm also learning to drive. A few months back, I registered for and soon after passed the test for a learner's permit. I got into a driving school and was pre-tested last month, and from the sounds of things I may be starting next Tuesday. Wish me luck, guys.










Still shamelessly plugging these things




I'd like to take this moment to advertise a few sites. First is for the web site for the comic by Mister-Saturn called sChIzO. And for a comic about a schizofrantic young anthro cat woman, it's quite funny and endearing (albeit tearjerking sometimes) with a lovable cast of characters. The comic's main site can be located at schizo-comic.com.


The other site I'd like to plug is a forum owned by an old friend of mine that's pretty much for general discussion but mainly centered around play-by-post roleplaying. If you have a host of characters for an original setting or you want to play the roles of existing franchise characacters in their licensed settings, there's a board for either of those. We're willing to extend a warm welcome and any help to any newcomers as long as they follow the rules, and registration is currently open if you want to join. The site is located at z9.invisionfree.com/Roles_You_Play.









Commissions





Still trying to do this. I prefer PayPal (I'll tell you via note what my e-mail address is), but if you must pay by check, I suppose I could also note you my s-mail address. Check out my gallery to get a general sense of what I draw. Also, please only request images with either your characters or my characters unless you have written permission from whomever else owns the characters in said commission request. I can't afford a lawyer...:paranoid: I've based my prices on what I've seen other people do (I threw in the extra on the background thing, 'cause backgrounds are no fun :().


Prices

  • Uncolored sketch of one character - $5 (+2 per extra character)
  • Colored sketch of one character - $10 (+2 per extra character, and +2 if you want a decent background other than the generic grass-and sky)

Please note I will not draw any mature or squeamish content. I'll start as soon as I receive payment, and I will e-mail you the start sketch to see if you like where I'm going with it. If you like it (and don't mind me showing people), I'll post it in my scraps. If you wish to post up your own modified version (i.e. you colored a black and white commish I sold you), please post it in your own scraps rather than your main gallery and be sure to link to my version. :)
