Just a journal where people can post a link to any fanart I've received in the past, and fanart to be received in the future.

I missed a lot of it the past couple of years due to depression, a lot of it got overlooked or I didn't have the energy to comment.

So, in a last grasp at redemption, this is just going to be a neat little journal where I can archive fanart in a place other than my favorites, in a neat little link in my profile accompanied by links to references of my characters. :) (My poor babies have been just as neglected)

Even though I was sad and terrible at talking to people, I still saw all the fan art and I vaguely recall smiling at each one and hoping I'd have the mojo to say something, because I really wanted to, but I think, if I could just examine myself for a moment, I really didn't feel I deserved any of it. Woops! Silly me. Depression sucks, but the best thing you can do is fix it. :)

I am treacherously sorry that I didn't give the time to you that you put in for me, but I'm ready to freak out like SpongeBob on any given day.

I want to know if anyone has found a way to deal with the intense feelings that come with empathy, the thing that allows us to put ourselves in other people's shoes.

I have moments a few times a day where I almost feel like I take on the sadness or happiness of others to the extent that I become over-excitable or cry. Sometimes I get so happy about being alive, I cry. I really want to help people feel better, but sometimes it's hard to deal with the overwhelming emotions that come with being sensitive to other's feelings. I cry because someone has written a book on colored girls who considered suicide, I cry because people don't want to change and be happy. I cry because I feel so many intense, fuzzy, sharp feelings all the time, and I don't know how to shut it off.

I'm trying to create an outlet for it by writing and painting, and doing my best right now, because I'm going through a growth period right now, but everything is just way too sensitive. My friends are telling me more often than not when I'm excited and really happy about something to "calm down". It's so hard for me to grasp this because I don't think I'll ever lose that childlike essence that makes life so intriguing and enjoyable. I get excited over facts, I get excited over new thoughts, I get excited just from being with the people I love, and then I feel alienated because I've become aware that I'm acting strangely to these people. I just laugh a lot, and make jokes, and it's hard for me to relax, and I can't just "calm down" when I'm in that mood, I'm a very in-the-present-moment person, so I grasp the feeling before it slips away as a memory. I love being happy, but I think I need help in thinking differently.* My dad told me that "not every one is the same, so you need to be careful about how you act." It just feels like I have no self-control sometimes, and I become hyper, curious and 8 years old again. I love this part of myself SO much, but it seems to be getting harder as people get older and start to assume social responsibility for the way they act. I just don't seem to give a fuck ever, pardon my french. I just have such a care-free view of life that I can't seem to shake, no matter what the world throws at me. I'm starting to believe I'm a strange breed. My greatest friends love this quality in me, and I love how it inspires them because it takes no effort on my part to be so peppy about life, but it worries me also, that people shut themselves out from their playful selves.

Is it something we need to tame in order to not seem like a freak in life?

Are there other people who have the same sort of zest for life?

How do you deal with how others feel?

I know we're all different, but if you'd have the time I'd really like to hear your story and what you have to say. I'm having an existential crisis over how happy/sad I am to feel all the time.

*EDIT: I realize now I'm fine the way I am, and I just need to surround myself with like-minded people. I just love people so eaily, it's hard for me not to open up immediately. I don't fake the "first impression" ever, I can't ever stop this feeling. It isn't wrong to think so positively, the world needs more of it. Thank you for helping me remember that!

Here’s another one of my rambles. None of it is to be taken as scripture, but I write it in the hopes of finding like-minded people who need that little oomph in their inner support system. I hope to provide a way of thinking that makes it easier to deal with life as an artist for most, if not all people.

So, you’re thinking about becoming a freelance commission artist.

Are you ready to take on such a job?

Let’s see... Ramble commencing in 3... 2... 1...

First off, commissions should never be regarded as “work” in the art field. It may not seem too negative now, but in the grand scheme of things, eventually that word will become a hindrance to you should you get into that inevitable artist rut (it’s a part of life!). A lot of people have negative stigma in regards to “work”. I refuse to see art as “work”, and the only time it becomes “work” is when you aren’t enjoying what you’re doing. Art is play, it’s fun, it’s an outlet, and it’s freeing. Never limit yourself to regarding your “play” as “work”. You can be as responsible for your play time as your work time. Art is the baby you must nourish and love unconditionally if you are prepared to set out on this venture. You MUST have an open heart and mind in order to maintain balance mentally as an artist; otherwise you will be shoved into the box of stagnation, impressing absolutely no one – especially not yourself. You are about to be paid for looking after your lover. ;)

“Choose a job you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.”

When I first started taking on commission work, I was aware of the people who half-assed their commissions, and had a few disappointments where what I asked of the artist wasn’t their frame of mind or forte, and I spent money on something that looked forced. No one wants that of art, especially not art people are paying for. I did NOT want to be like this, but I knew if I kept trying and pushing myself and absolutely LOVING my work, it would show in the art I produce for others. I try my best not to repeat a pose or color schemes, and think about that character and their place in the owner’s world. Then the fun part; who they are in MY world. This is the biggest thing to remember; who is this character in your world? Invite them to your canvas, and see how they are. Trace them onto the page as you would your own creations, because this person has trusted you with their baby for such a task.

Remember, also, that art is a luxury, and nobody needs to buy it in order to survive. This creates a struggle in our inner world as we try to express ourselves while still catering and advertising our skill to the public, and we may feel that people “owe” us money because we actually DO need it to survive. A lot of people will seemingly “half-ass” commission work, and this is simply because in the artist’s mind, being paid for one’s play becomes work, and they’re only drawing to get by in life. NEVER LET THIS BE YOUR WAY OF THINKING. Adapt to thinking with high empathy for your customers; do not half-ass your work because you have more pride in what you can do for yourself. Take pride in making your customers happy with their art, and put life into their characters through your vision. That is what every commissioner wants to see of every artist they hire for work.

This way, I believe, you can still have respect for yourself – you can still draw for yourself, because you never put up that wall between drawing for money and drawing for fun. ALWAYS DRAW FOR FUN! The money you receive for your services will just be a free benefit. There are also plenty of resources and ways you can sell personal work, if you feel you need to keep that emotional/mental relationship with sharing your own inner world with the outer world while still keeping your financial security. Even if you don’t have customers, you still have fans. So make everyone happy! It will help bring peace to your mind.

I’ll have more to ramble about later. Hope this helps someone. :)

Love and light!

Let me know what you think. I'm going to be starting my patreon regarding artist's mental health and growth, but I want to run this by you guys, and see if I'm on the right path. If it inspires you, let me know. I want people to feel better about themselves, so I'm going to start here.

DEALING WITH ANXIETY, DEPRESSION AND BULLYING AS AN ARTIST

Everyone makes mistakes.

Things will get a lot better for you when you adapt this kind of thinking. None of your heroes are perfect, and nobody can please everyone. I know as an artist, many of us feel the need to please; otherwise we wouldn’t share our blood and sweat with the world. We want to please ourselves as much as the next person, and that’s why we share our gift – art, a gift which every one as human beings possesses – with our friends, family, and strangers viewing our art in various galleries.

But, there are some people who you just can’t please, and it is absolutely crucial to yourself, not only as an artist, but also as a human being to always remember:

NEVER TAKE IT PERSONALLY.

A lot of the times, when someone is trying to break you down, it’s just a reflection of their own suffering. They haven’t learned to utilize that negative energy to something more positive, such as bettering themselves with something they’re good at. They are lonely, and jealous of your relationship with your skill that you choose to share with yourself and the world. There is a huge danger in expressing yourself anywhere, but what separates you from the rest is how you handle it. Everyone has critics, because everyone likes different things. Some people are well off, and content with their lives, and are in a position of success to help forward you with your endeavours. Others are stuck in a rut, and in their attempt to grab out to people, they end up getting them stuck in the same mud as well. We all need help to see that the world is not a bad place, and these people are no different. Treat your enemies with respect. You might get an amazing friend out of it, because you saw something in them that no one else has cared enough to vocalize, due in part to that person’s reputation as a whiner or hater.

However, I am not saying help everyone. There are some people you just can’t help. These people are stagnant, and afraid of change. They make no conscious effort to want to stop being sad, beating themselves up, or completely miss all the small, amazing things that make life worth living on a daily basis. They are depressed, don’t want to go outside and get the amazing sunlight that gives us life.

You might think I am stuck-up for assuming this of people, but I know it to be the truth.

Why?

Because I was that person.

I know how it feels to feel worthless, to feel like the whole world is trying to stop you, when you feel that you have such a perfect vision for how to make the world a better place. You start to misunderstand why you keep having all these shortcomings, and eventually you stop fighting, sit in the corner, and let the darkness beat the pulp out of you. You think you’re trying, you think you’re getting somewhere, but let’s be real. At this point, with the fear of success and growth, all you are really doing is surviving. You keep pushing against something that hasn’t stopped since the dawn of time: change.

You can cry, scream, yell, freak out and hurt everyone you love all you want, but it isn’t going to get you anywhere. Eventually, people are going to try helping you, and you have better not torture any of your friends who have tried for months, years, or even decades in some cases, by not allowing yourself to change. These people care about you, they think about you, and they hold you in their best interests. Do not disrespect them. Everyone needs their down time, and it’s okay to be depressed for a little while. You need darkness in order to see light, and you must never think that you, and you alone are God’s gift to the world. We all are, so you really need to relax. We’re right alongside you. But you must never let the depression become the core of your being. We are giving, loving creatures by default, and to slip into the stream of selfishness that comes with the depression will do nothing but kill you (figuratively, of course).

It will make your friends happier beyond belief to get out of your dark spot and start living up to your calling. Everyone believes in you, and even if they don’t, you’re still there, aren’t you? Believe in yourself. Know that there’s people like me out there, even though I may not be able to talk to you personally in this lifetime, am holding you and all like-minded people in my thoughts while I write this, in an attempt to let you know you aren’t alone and that I fully believe in you. You have the ability to be as amazing as your idols and heroes, so why don’t you? You could be my hero. Why aren’t you?

So, it’s come to this. How do you beat the anxiety, depression, and bullying that comes with expressing yourself as an artist? How do you stand strong, knowing that you may not be the best now, but you’ll get there someday? How do you keep moving forward against a world that only seems to be pushing you backwards?

Fight.

Fight as hard as you can. Not against others, but yourself. You are your biggest enemy on your road to success. You, and you alone, are the world you see. Don’t like it? Fight against it, push back. Let yourself know that this isn’t what you were meant to be, and that you can be so, so much better to yourself, for yourself. No one is going to coddle you, and if you are getting loved and supported for being a stagnant person who isn’t doing much for the world, if you’re surrounding yourself with people who back-up your selfish, shitty behaviour, you might want to reconsider your friends. Get someone in your life that you can trust that can tell you the honest, cold truth. Just one friend like that will do. And if you can’t do that, because I know a lot of artists slip into the hermit mentality, tell yourself the truth. Take 30 minutes of your day to listen to some uplifting music and wipe your mind of your emotions – your sadness, happiness, love, hate and anger – and ask yourself, “is this right?”
You will be surprised at what you know.

I know it’s incredibly-super-mega hard to get out of that negative state of thinking, but you have to want to change. You wouldn't have read this far if you didn’t want to change, or see if I have anything to offer you. So, there is a sliver of hope. You’re on the right track.

----

Let me know if this helped you and I'll keep writing more. You can ask me questions and add your own tidbit of info; let's just help people get better and make the world a more happy, creative place!

I think it's about time I start giving back.

All throughout June (I've already started), I'm going to be documenting all I've known and learned about art, working as an artist, and making it by being a freelancer. I am very savvy on all of these subjects, so if you want to suggest themes regarding:

My techniques and tricks regarding digital and traditional media
Finding your style
Business & freelancing
Managing on your own
How much you are worth as an artist
Dealing with bullying, depression and anxiety as an artist

or anything else you think I have strengths in, please let me know. I know I haven't been the best artist in the past couple of years, but it's about time I start giving back. It's not like I never planned on it, I just knew I wasn't ready, and didn't want to teach any thing wrong. I know some things won't click with the more educated audiences, because I know my art pisses me off after I read up on fine art, but I'm going to do my best to help those who can't afford an education but want to make it as an artist, or even just make some cash on the side doing something fun. :)

The patreon will probably be 5$ a month for every one, with journals on coping as an artist and an art tutorial each month, along with high-res files of the finished tutorial pieces.

Much love and light to all of you. Thank you for being there for me, loving me, and letting me know I didn't have to give up when I really, really wanted to.

Thank you so much for your interest and helping me out, and for checking this out, I appreciate it!

Hey guys, I hope you're all enjoying spring so far!

I want to start taking monthly lists that meet a quota so I can get my life organized since it's been hbfdwhjf for I don't know how long. I got the help I needed so far but I need to deal with my anxiety a little better... and a lot of it is financial because I've had amazing friends that helped me when I was left with nothing, but I didn't have the strength or even really notice how sick my body actually was and kept biting off more than I could chew. I was getting sicker and sicker, not knowing or really noticing or even caring, and with the sickness came weakness so my mind slipped into a dark place for a long time. It's still there even, but I'm trying now to get out of it as best I can by getting regular testing done and maintaining my health. It's hard but it's something only I can do really, as long as you guys still like my art because this is the only way I can pay my rent and bills and debts, and maybe get rid of some of the anxiety associated with that and maybe actually do something fun without feeling overwhelming shame and guilt. I'm really sick of being this draining tumor to everyone around me and I want to be able to make people happy again.

So, each month on the 1st I'll open for X-amount of commissions at 9pm EST to meet a goal and give a little status update to let you know how things are going. I know I'm terrible at following through with things but I really do want to try and think this would be a more suitable approach because I even feel anxiety about posting commission journals all the time. At least all commissions will have a month waiting time, so I'm going to set an alarm on my phone so I actually don't forget.

And I apologize to those who asked for a commission before, I get so swamped and my mind is cluttered to the max, so I hope you don't mind that those who have not paid and got a spot in my queue may have to contact me again, but to be honest I want to stay with a present queue. I apologize if I did not get around to your commission, please do not take it personally, I just may not have the energy to fulfil your request at the time. I prefer to take on commissions that pique my interest and aren't too stressful for me to accomplish right now. I still like to draw 95% of things so please don't be afraid to ask, if I don't get around to it, it's just because I couldn't or quite bluntly, lost interest. Depression sucks but I have to be assertive for myself. At least I don't take payment first, so it's just a matter of asking.

And I know my prices will be expensive, but they are for a reason; to help me out of the rut, and to have as little stress as I can manage so I can have some time to adjust to my medications while still being motivated to function.

For those curious, here is the price list. There is a 2 character option again now! And they all come with backgrounds - COOL!

I'll be opening these later tonight at 11pm EST.

Thank you for checking this out, I really appreciate all the help and support I can get right now and always, it's super cool that I still have wonderful people who like my art where I don't and still help me along through life even though I don't say much or express my gratitude as often as I should. I'll post that journal soon and close it when it fills up. Thank you to all those interested and for all your words of support. I read all of your nice words, no matter how shaky the voice. <3

My life is very very hectic right now and I can't always be online while I'm working, and this get lost in the disarray, if you haven't received a commission you have paid for please comment here and I will send it to you. I apologize that this extra step has to be made, I am barely online any more and keeping track is incredibly difficult right now :(


This is for commissioners only, thank you for your understanding that I'm scatterbrained right now!

This post: http://blog.loish.net/post/11185645.....on-my-blogpost

It's true what she says, draw what makes you happy, there are no rules to art. If you're happy drawing the same face and people like that face you draw, then draw that face a million times. If you never like drawing the same thing twice then by god there is nothing stopping you but yourself. Loish explains it better, but this was a big inspiration to pull me from stagnation, was that it's okay to be me and draw like me. Only I can do what I do, and only I can improve on it, not brood in it. If people don't like your way of doing things, they don't understand how it makes you happy. And that's okay! We're all allowed to think what we want, it's what helps build character and diversity in an artistic community when we all have different eyes to see with.

:) Peace

I love you SO MUCH! You all make me so happy with how much you love my art and support me through the hardships and then some, WOW! We all have our struggles but I'm just really glad I went through my struggles with people who neither spoiled nor deprived me. I love you guys so much. I love doing art for people who love it as much as I do. I know I'm not very talkative but I love speaking through my art for you, you make me so happy whether you view, favourite, comment or watch. Bless you all, I hope 2015 is a metamorphic experience for you!

um, so i've somehow got friends in my little old town now finally and to be honest THEY ARE WICKED AWESOME AMAZING and they care about me a lot! which is super exciting because i was starting to get sad and lonely again since i havent been in the city since the spring

uh yeah! so... excitingly, my boyfriend paid for the repairs on my old touchsmart tm2, at first the pen didnt work but i deleted what file conflicted with it and thank the heavens above i got the pen and the pressure sensitivity to work last night so i have a second place of work. i just hide in my boyfriends room when the parties happen downstairs and they respect my space which is wicked!

so yeah i thought i would pass on an update because this is exciting for me and i just need to vent :)

unfortunately, a month ago i woke up t my hd on the floor and a lack of connectivity and the repair shop said it would take 3 MONTHS to get all my files off, which is heartbreaking because literally all my art is on it and i really wanted to start doing prints but hey, everything happens for a reason right? I'm still a baby artist and always will be :) losing 4 years of art is nothing compared to the rest of my life ;)

So I've been really enjoying my summer and I actually have a tan this year and overall I feel cleansed and happy. I feel enlightened. I can really say that. Not Buddha enlightened, but I can tap into my sixth sense again and that really makes me joyous! I've been longboarding almost every day this summer and just getting out and keeping active has really changed my life for the better.

For art, I really want to practice character design so I'm not sure about commissions in the immediate future. I love being able to bring something to life from my mind and practice my anatomy while I'm at it. I really appreciate all the support (financially and artistically) that you guys have given me. I know my designs aren't what they could be, but I'm working on it and I love every step.

I'm also working on getting better at handling my money. I had a scare last month that really shook me up but I emerged unscathed thanks to help from the people around me.

I also want to mention that I don't have immediate access to the Internet at the moment so my online use will be sporadic (once a day or two). Personally, I really enjoy it. The peace I have in my house is really helping me clear my head and keep it that way. My house isn't even messy any more, which is a good sign of a healthy mind :) for me, anyways.

Anyways, just wanted to let everyone know where I'm at. I'll probably actually have Internet soon as long as I keep this up, I miss streaming so much ;_;

I've been thinking about this for a while because I'm really bad at saving up for things, but my life's getting better so might as well try this out

I'm looking for a few things to spruce up my life and it will probably be good for people who can't afford my art but have something to trade for it, so here's the list

CLOSED, DISCUSSING - GameCube or WII with 2 controllers (preferably) and connection cords - a painted bust and a sketch sheet
- A laptop - negotiable, since they vary in price, looking for something with 4gb ram or higher
- A WiiU - negotiable, probably a full body painting or a two character piece
CLOSED, DISCUSSING - A TV - 30" flat or more with HDMI port - A full painting or more depending on size
- A cintiq or touch screen laptop or tablet, something I can draw on the screen - art is negotiable seeing as these items range 200$ and more. However anything over 500$ will have to be... Talked about, seeing as I'll probably be your slave for this trade.
- A pot and pan set - a colored bust or art equal to preferred asking price

Shipping and handling - I can either pay for this or do art for the alloted cost

I'll add more to this list as I remember what I want or need, all of the offered art is completely negotiable and I prefer you not to ship it until my work is done. However I will need proof that you have the items so I don't get skimped (and i don't want you to get skimped either!) I guess if you want you can buy these items from amazon or something but we will need to discuss that! I solely want these items because I'm terrible with money and I have GameCube games but no GameCube for this treacherous reason

If you want to do a trade like this please email me at falvie[at]live.ca with your item for trade as the subject and i'll hopefully get back to you soon. :) don't be afraid to nudge me if I don't reply, I'm a turd when it comes to that sort of thing!

It might be a little absurd coming from me, but i seriously need help with speedpainting. I know not zooming in is good for it, and focusing on the whole, but i need inspiration more than anything.

If you know any tutorials on speedpainting (YouTube or Deviantart, Tumblr, art website or anything) of a more professional grade, if you don't mind sharing I'd be really grateful. I pretty much only use SAI but any tutorial for any art program will be fine. Livestreams don't even work on my phone so that's been hindering me because I always love to watch purplekecleon's streams but i can't even do that @_@

I deleted the last guide by accident, but it was kind of outdated anyways, so here's a new one! Someday I'll make a picture guide to go with it.

Fionbri are a species of mine that hold psychological traits within their colors, which manifest as auras. Their coat has a minimum of three hues:

Sensory Markings - (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, paws, eyebrows and insignia) the aura color of these markings symbolize how the Fionbri experiences the world. For example, pink sensory markings mean that it experiences the world with love. These markings never fade, and so are never grey, but can be black or white.

Primary Coat - the main coat, symbolizing the Fionbri's conscious and present state. This aura color represents the Fionbri's mind, and can change over time although not extremely unless the mind has gone through extreme stress. Coats that fade to grey are a sign of depression and anxiety, but they can be restored to their former luster with patient tender loving care from the Fionbri to itself.

Secondary Coat - the under coat, symbolizing the Fionbri's unconscious state. This is usually close in hue to the Primary Coat in mentally healthy Fionbri. A mentally ill Fionbri will have radically different hues in their coats because their conscious and unconscious are struggling with each other.

They have other attributes that help differentiate them:

Insignia - the insignia is the marking on the rump of most Fionbri, although it can be located elsewhere. It is a sensory marking, and can be attributed to instinct. The shape of the insignia represents predisposition, and come in many shapes and sizes:
- Basic insignias (such as circles and geometric shapes) mean that the bearer has simple instincts when they are needed and their minds are very good at tying up loose ends.
- Complicated insignias (such as swirls and interlaced designs) mean that the Fionbri has many pathways and choices to consider before making a final decision, although since this is also instinct, it happens very quickly when needed.
- Broken insignias (cracks, patterns that don't meet an end) allow very scattered and spontaneous intuitions, which may not always work in the owner's favour. Think clutz, or someone who can't seem to make the right choices all the time.

Eyebrows - the eyebrows of Fionbri are actually another sensory marking, and they take care of clairvoyance - they allow the Fionbri to connect to one another and other species through intuitive knowledge that allows them to see and decipher the other party's intentions and feelings. Not all Fionbri are skilled in controlling this and it takes a lot of practice, but most have it as a basic lens to view truth in the world. Fionbri that have mastered this sense are able to see into the minds of others and the natural universe, and may also be able to see accurately into the future, although this is more rare.

THE AURAS

I need to go work on other things and don't have time to finish the guide so just refer to this for now for color meanings: http://www.reiki-for-holistic-healt.....rmeanings.html

So the lucky winner is...
