2019 Update
2 min read
Just a small, un-edited update for those who watch me here. I swear I'm not dead and I again really appreciate those who watch me for the scarce amount of content I post, I am working hard to get better at being a more active content creator; no matter how long it takes.
Obviously I was pregnant and my baby is 6 months old now. Wanted to let it be known for those who might be concerned my silence after the announcement was due to a tragedy; which it wasn't my child is healthy and thriving and keeping me all sorts of busy. I'm saving the gender reveal for later, a drawing of course. I might do a poll on how I should reveal it. Other then having a baby, life has been pretty damn chaotic and depressing. There have been some hardships that have come up adding to my postpartum depression(though my emotional and mental state through the pregnancy was so shitty I would call it partum depression). I will likely tell it through art, one even making an animation in the works. Don't wait with belated breath though, it wont be done in for foreseeable future, however once I get seriously working on it I will be making updates.
For the time I will be planning out the process of taking commissions, as I need to start actually prioritizing my art, for my own sanity and the well being of my family. Lulusketches said in a video that age doesn't matter and plenty of artists start their careers in their 30's. After turning 30 this year I'm trying to take that as a motivator.I will just have to find creative ways to make time for art with everything going on. I'm sick of using lack of time as an excuse as to why art isn't a priority, but I still admit I will need to find some ways to get creative to make the time as I'm lacking in that department. Might look into how other artists do it.
Anyway thanks for reading and I hope to bring you more content soon.

A popular pony artist 
is campaigning to publish her new comic Dreamland Protectors!
I know her from her MLP fanart and I know plenty of bronies enjoy her work as well. I'm unsure if I'll be able to donate, but I wish to at least spread the word to anyone who will see this journal. You may also know her from her TMG series, I admit to not being familiar with it myself, but perhaps you know her better from that.

Story from the Indigogo
"Dreamland Protectors" is an origin story, focusing not on the greatest protector, nor the brightest, but probably the most unpredictable of all.
Panko is a middle-schooler who'd rather spend his days sleeping than doing anything else. Are you judging him as being lazy? Well, while asleep, he meets with other dreamers who take an active part in protecting the realm from all possible menaces. However, he discovers that punching and kicking is not his way, and that the biggest challenges can arise from within the team itself.
I think the concept is rather adorable which matches it's main character 
The campaign has a month left and anything she manages to make will still be given to her if the campagin falls short, so you can be sure your support will still make it to her should the goal not be reached.

CynicalHound In Need Of Work!

Hey guys! This amazing artist needs aid and is looking to take on more commissions! I've loved her work since the days of her comic Canine Tales and she has always been fun to talk to. I'll be ordering an animated icon myself once I get an idea of what I want. Hope you can help out, if not please pass the word along. Thank you!
PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS POST OR HER JOURNAL/POLL WITH COMMISSIONS OR BEST WISHES, NOT THIS JOURNAL! THANK YOU.

Update of 2016
3 min read
Man...this has been one hell of a year.
What else can I say? Not only has this year been difficult for me personally, but a hurricane of unpleasantness for everyone. I know I'm not the only one longing and hoping for 2017 and that it will bring better memories then this year leaves us.
Though it may appear that I have left yet another journal swearing to increase my activity only to once more dwindle back to the land of no productivity(unproductivity should really be a word; or spellcheck doesn't recognize it as such), I have been working. Lately I have been brushing off my old animation skills and reacquainting myself with that passion. My schooling never covered traditional animation and though seeing Moana reignites my excitement and desire to make things of it's quality one day, I never got to quench my passion for traditional animation style(being pedantic I still use tablet/stylist and not pencil and paper, but you get the idea) and I'm honestly getting sick of hoping to find a school to teach me. I've also become sick of fearing my lack of perfection based on pride; as an animation graduate and a worker in the video game industry I tear down all my work feeling I should be much better than what I am so I hate the idea of showing off my work feeling others will harbor the same thoughts I do. This leaves things to stagnate and hurt me, for to get better I have to actually draw rather that be hard on myself for becoming rusty. Of course I'll continue to rust if I don't move, and that's not meant to scold, but to help stop beating myself up.
This journal is yet more of the same of the last one, but it's more for me anyway. I'm sick of fearing my age, scolding myself for falling off the train for only two years since my time at Phoenix Online, and sick of fearing what I love and what everyone will think.
I thank
, whose response to my last journal helped make my year. I didn't know linking their page would alert them, so I was surprised and admittedly embarrassed to get a response(though of course honored). I didn't expect the attention so was a shy little blob about it. Feel free to ignore this Anima *now knowing you are likely seeing this* since its the same babbles, but again: Thank you so much.
Come on 2017, come and be my year!

Draw Dailies ::Accepting Requests::
3 min read
So my plan: I wanna return to when I was doing challenges like picking a shipping I enjoyed and doing a drawing a day for a week of that ship, or when I was doing a drawing for my favorite pokemon of each type. So I will be starting dailies again and just kinda winging it, so if I say complete a 100 Day drawing challenges I will then pick a new one to start. No rhyme or reason for any of them, just going to pick things to keep myself drawing and to beat art block.
To add to this, I want anyone who is reading this to shoot me some requests. A shipping you wanna see, a character, a genre, a movie, whatever you would like to see comment below. This isn't really a traditional accepting of requests, like taking your OC and drawing it though I'm not rejecting that outright. More so I would like to see what anyone reading this would like to see me draw and to keep the flow smooth and prevent art block. Also I would like to interact with my friends and people that watch me more. I'm so silent here, but a majority of people who watch me are also friends and I would like to interact with everyone! Just know it's a dailies thing, so any requests I take wont be like a mini-commission but rather just something to draw and let us all interact together.
Until then though, I have a few things lined up I want to begin with. So here's some things I plan to begin with and we will see where this goes:
Pokemon first 151
Favorite Pokemon of Each Type
(Lots of Pokemon since Pokemon GO, so just going to GO with it xD;...)
Shipping Weeks
(Currently MLP heavy but may change occasionally. Likely gonna start with my old Pound Puppy Ship I never got to for the second week)
Then my favorite:
Different Styles, I am going to see if I can get one of my friends on this with me since we both discussed trying to draw characters in different styles.
It will come from Nobody which I will later make a separate journal for. Until I start this here is the link:
Hopefully this will aid me to get out of this funk. Happy Drawing everyone!
