I hope everyone reading this is doing well!

I have, what I consider to be, exciting news!

   

I've gotten a lot of requests lately, and since I've got some spare time nowadays, I've decided to open commissions!
(Something I have never really done before.)

Super thanks to my good friend, for helping me compile a ton of information and helped me off the ground! She's amazing, and I couldn't have started this without her!

Also I have to thank my good friend because he helped convince me to just do it and see how it goes, as well as start my webcomic! *more info on that eventually* 

As well, thanks to everyone who has supported me! I do not have a lot of confidence in my artwork, nor in myself, so y'all's support has helped me so much, I don't even have the right words. <3 Keep being amazing, hopefully I'll catch up one day~

If you're not interested in commissions and stuff, my features are at the bottom!

Rules of Service:

PLEASE READ- I will ignore you otherwise.

I will finish your commission to the best of my ability, and will list your name in my journal until your commission is complete. I do not want to be heckled if things get busy, just trust that I will finish.

I require 50% payment up front, as a sign of a commitment to our contract; I have been burned many times before, and I won’t repeat those mistakes.

No refunds. I will not return payment for hard work, when I can’t just “undo” said hard work. If you have a problem with me or my artwork, I will do my best to resolve any conflicts privately via note or e-mail.

 

Will not draw:

-Fanart OCs- originals only

-Someone else’s OC- (I will with their written permissions)

-Grotesque or excessive violence- I'll hold the right to determine what is too violent.

-Incestual, rape-y, or pedophilic activity- don’t even ask.

-Anything that directly insults a group of people, or is a direct attack on anyone else- respect is mandatory.

 

Will happily draw:

OCs! Characters! Settings! Groups! Classy nudes! I will try my best to draw whatever it is that you want, within my personal boundaries. It doesn’t hurt to be transparent and ask away! Send me a note~

 

I require a note, listing all of the following:

Username:

Type of Commission:

Summary of EXACTLY what you want the painting to look like:

References:

Points or PAYPAL:

Additional Requests:


I like to think this is a fair starting point. I'll edit/change things if I need to, and if you have any suggestions please feel free to offer an improvement idea! Just don't be mean, of course.

Also, I'm going to do a set of commission prices for crochet as well, and if you're interested in anything right nooow, note me!


 FEATURES 

So, I really want to start doing an art feature of the month, because I believe my journal can be used to promote artists that I think are deserving of, or more of, attention! I mean, geez, Deviantart is for the artists right? Everyone deserves a highlight every now and again!

I DID NOT FEATURE YOU IN ORDER TO RECEIVE ANYTHING IN RETURN. (I.E. watches, favorites, or anything.) I KNOW PEOPLE HERE ON DA FEATURE IN ORDER TO GET PAGEVIEWS AND POPULARITY; I DO NOT DO THIS. I featured you because your art is beautiful and well done! <3 So, from me: Congrats!

Update update!

I am soooooooo sorry I am an awful online persona and I just freaking suck and have been using my free time to learn how to crochet and watch Forensic Files.

;_; I hope all is well with you all, and I miss you and I still wanna be friends and do art and stuff.
Because y'all are great. /I'm not/

I guess I'm really making this update now, because I've had a really rough couple of weeks. Many of my IRL friends don't follow me here on DA and I feel I can speak a bit more freely here, and maybe I want to vent. (as well as actually update my features! *whoops*) If you don't wanna read about my social problems, skip this and go look at the great art down near the bottom! VVVV

I had to break up with my best friend, of almost 15 years, recently. I've never had a break up of comparable pain and difficulty to this experience, and it was... so long, and draining, and emotional, that I've pretty much shut down over and over again. (And developed some bad coping mechanisms, to boot.) I don't like putting my personal stuff "out there" but this is so heavy. Like my limbs are weighted down with grief and anger and stuff difficult to move. It's so hard to accept, overcome, and move forward. Even though I have a great support system of people who truly care for me, and not just what I can do for them, it's still so freaking hard. I just want to lash out and make her understand, but I know that will never work, which makes my want to fight and scream like a smoldering coal, sitting on my bleeding and broken heart. I have put up with a lot. I would never turn on my back on a relationship that was once so strong for trivial reasons, and my patience for everything up until the breaking point is commendable; I have waited out storms for her. (Most of which, were her own storms.) Why she couldn't see my own reasoning, and continue to blame me for not seeing hers, I'll never understand.
Some things are the final straw. You can only be but so selfish before you will lose everything truly meaningful, and sometimes I just have to say I can't put up with it any longer. If anything, my choice should be a lesson, and a strong one, but somehow I know it won't be. Somehow, everything I've said will mean nothing except how much I am wrong; the loop will continue, one after the other after the other.
I just hope you take medicine when you need to, and eat enough food everyday. Maybe I'll dig the pictures out of the box again one day.

VENTING OVER
for now

Thanks for reading if you did. <3 I feel a little better, just for writing it out.

ALSO PREPARE TO BE BOMBARDED WITH STUFF, I have some stuff to post, I think. <3

So. Hey there. <3

I apologize for my profuse absence, which is a theme in my recent journals I see. HOWEVER.
School is slightly more important than my internet life.
Which is sadness.

Anywho, I'm now a creative writing minor!

 

So instead of adding such a persona onto this account, I made another one.
So I can just post the writings I do out of school, and for school.
Less clutter, in the long run, I'm hoping.
So if you wanna go give me a little love on my other account, please dooo <3 <3 <3
I love love.



MORE IMPORTANTLY, MOREOVER, IS THIS UPDATE!
My instagram account has a lot more of my day-to-day artwork on it, so if you wanna see more sketches and traditional works from me, go there! Digital work, which is what I post here, takes so long... ;w;

You guys, I am still alive and drawing! I promise!

 

I have a legitimate excuse for my few month absence, however! I AM NOW A HOMEOWNER!

Whoooot~ So now that my family is all settled in and we've got the area a little more understood, I am making my updates. <3
I apologize profusely for not getting back to things sooner, I was really busy. ToT

Anywho, to add more fuel to this fire: I have made a twitter and instagram account!

  Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "Azul, you can't even keep up with DA, why you try to fool us??"

Well I wanted to make something to put my art so that my friends who aren't artists here on DA can see my arts and progresses. I also intend to post more of my traditional arts and WIPS on those accounts.

Please check them out! I'm thinking of offering free sketches for followers for a short time... when I have a free day soon.
