...I'm done. I can't do them anymore.

My mentor, some time ago, advised me to stop doing requests at my current skill level, and it was one of the few points where I adamantly disagreed with him on. Nowadays? Too many people seem to assume that a request needs to be done, if I do so much as listen to it. I no longer have the time or patience for them--from the general public, anyhow--anymore.

So, unless I've known you for a good while, and our conversations have revolved around something other than me drawing something for you, I'm not taking requests anymore. If we are in the middle of a trade, I apologize for keeping you waiting, and will make it a point to be done this December, before taking any other trades, if I do.

Requests...

Fine! I'm making a couple more Pokémon alts. I'm weak! There, I said it.

...must...resist...making new alts...

That said, I'm making it a point to use my existing characters more often. That includes in requests, commissions, and trades.

...

...after I finish about a half dozen more. Because, quitting cold turkey isn't easy or healthy!

...I can quit anytime I want to! STOP JUDGING ME!

Any Unity users or 3D modelers here?

Seriously, stop tagging futanari, hermaphrodites, and dickgirls as "female"; they aren't.

I'm opening them up. The rules are here, if you are interested.

Anything in my gallery that's over a year old, that you'd like to see redone, I'm taking suggestions. I'm also opening back up requests and trades, and--if you're interested--commissions. Consequently, things I'm doing for game design come first. Commissions will take precedence over trades, and trades over request.

Speaking of which, any skilled 3D modelers or Unity programmers hereabouts? I'm toying with an ecchi-styled action RPG idea.

It's been a bit since I've updated my journal, so I feel that I should give a status report. Over the past couple of months, I've been in classes, unemployed, and fighting for my unemployment insurance. I recently got a job at a gas station, during the afternoons of my days off from classes, which has begun to eat into my time. As a result, I haven't started commissions yet, and any trades I want to do--and, I want to do them, I have four years of time I lost from my first departure from dA to catch up on--are slowed, at least a bit.

On Trades: I'm working on them. If we're in the middle of one, I ask that--if you'd like--not to post your half, unless you really want to, until I've done mine. Those that already have, I'm working on them, and ask that you wait a...

Delays, delays...

I'm going to sort everything into folders on my comp and compress them. Then, after that's done, I'm going to delete a great many things from this gallery, to clean it up.

Still hammering through requests and gifts, still doing a boatload of thumbnails, still preparing commission information and samples.

Well, we got hit with a tornado this past Saturday; a big one. No damage to the house, but we're not going to have power until Wednesday at the earliest. I'm in a hotel atm, and not dead. So, we'll see what happens...
