Well December is here. Christmas season is here. Cold weather, snow, all that fun stuff. Black Friday was really mellow in my hometown this year which was kind of cool as far as getting stuff done but less exciting than usual. Went with the family to get our tree that's always fun. As far as projects go, i'm making a 4chan wallpaper which will be taking up most of my time besides school and commissions. Though school will be wrapping up in 3 weeks, then winter break.

So my new commission prices are up and i'm running a sale on busts & portraits until December 12th. ($10 for black & white, $12 for flat-color, and $15 for celshaded) Great gift idea.

So i updated my Commission rates. I've been saying i was going to raise my rates and finally have gotten around to it. Now if you've been waiting on a commission and now your like "OH GAWD! THOSE PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS!!!" don't sweat it. I run sales just watch my blogs for them.
Speaking of which seeing as Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year and everyone always runs crazy sales, well i think i should too. So I'm making 5 commission slots, these slots will go on sale at midnight on November 27th. These slots will be for 75% off any commission. That's a pretty sweet deal.
I'll also be doing the 5x7 portrait & and bust sale again because it was so popular the first time. It'll run from Nov. 27th - Dec 6th. The prices for these are $10 for Black & White, $12 for flat color, and $15 for cel-shaded. Again this is a pretty sweet deal too.
So take advantage of these sales, you could even get art as a gift and get some Christmas shopping done or just get that piece you've been waiting on for awhile.

November happenings.

So it's November, the holiday season has begun. Great time of year for diets (hahahahahahaahhaahahahahaha lulz)and as i mentioned i'm trying to lose 50lbs. by Christmas so home for the holidays will be interesting as my family shoves delicious treats at me from every possible direction. I got robbed last month (on my birthday ftw + bonus points), lost a lot of art supplies, my skool id, flash drive, and keys; so even though the the mugger is thinking he didnt get anything valuable, bastard made off with a lot of my work and the best part is it prolly wound up in a dumpster somewhere. My Grandma got a new car, well used but at least it works unlike the former "new car" she had. My 360 burnt out so i got to get a new one yay! at least i only had to shell out 200 for this one but I needsiz it for playing Fallout 3 (rocks!!!) and in a few days, Gears 2!!! Thanks to everyone who bought commissions during the special the extra money did really help us get caught up and i think i will be running some sort of special again towards the end of nov, so if u missed out u may have an opportunity again. Warcraft account is back up Akumi on Etrigg is my main if you wanna say hi, raid, etc. Lich King comes out soon too but i think i'll hold off on that for christmas. I don't know if i'm digging these 2 week breaks between episodes in the Sarah Connor Chronicles, it's a little annoying. I'm actually enjoying skool this quarter besides trying to catch up bills and getting robbed and whatnot, classes are pretty cool; i think its really starting to show in my work too, this whole skool thing. My Godzilla Pumpkin wasn't good enuff (too many damn Jokers). As far as projects go for me this month after i finish up commissions i think imma start some of my holiday workload, cuz a few peeples is getting da artzwerks fer christmazz.

So MD5 and i were chatting in Oneliner about a pic i had wanted to do with Josie cleaning her bathroom and tentacles creeping up from behind the toilet or something to get her. Well i've been thinking of a unique little project for this. many of u know i'm a whore for seeing others takes on my OC's. So this project would involve artists drawing progressive illustrations which would tell the story of the whole scene kind of in the spirit of the Hacomic. I'd start then the next artist, would do the next pic, and so on like that, i'm thinking of way to allow writers to participate aswell. anyway there will be more info when i put it officially on the forums.

I also plan on doing an Hacomic cover at somepoint this month.

Alright dat b it fo now, l8r all.

Hey all,

my grandmas car just died. this is bad my gma is very active, still enjoys work, and does a lot of taxi work for the kids in our family and is helping me pay my way through the art institute which isn't cheap. The really crappy thing is she still owes like 4k on this hunk of junk so i've decided to help make ends meet i'm going to run a commissions special. I'm going to offer 5x7 face and bust commissions, (see my "how i spent summer vaction" pieces) of original characters, non original characters, photos, etc. and i'll be doing these through the end of the month. Only $10 bucks for black and white $15 for flat color and $20 for cel shaded style color. plus if anyone would just like a donation to help us please email me and let me know, we would really appreciate your help. thanks.

Blogging time.

The enter key on my laptop is destroyed, makes typing hard at times. Hopefully i'm getting a new one though, HP artist edition (Intel duo core, 3 gigs of ram) should be nice but i have to wait at least till the end of the month.

I've been making teh artz just not alot of the adult variety so i haven't posted anything new but I'm a big supporter of breast cancer awareness, study and prevension so i will have stuff up for that this month.

Finally getting my commission workload caught up and should have the last few finished up within the next couple of weeks.

My fall break is coming to an end, tomorrow i drive back to Pitt. I gotta say i'm bummed I had a lot of while i was home, partied, hung out, had good times with friends and family. I have a whole slew of bad news to head back to in Pitt which isn't helping either. My one roommate got mugged while staying in Pitt over break. My other roommate decided to eff us over and move out with no notice cuz she needs to be a "hermit". My previous roommate that eff'd me over still owes 700 bucks and is avoiding me at all costs it seems. My nieghbor, who i let rent my garage to store tools also owes me money, 80 dollars to be exact. X]

Did anyone else feel really bad for christopher walken in the deadzone?

Fall is here which means my BDay, which marks another tick on my death clock. Oi. And the quick approach of the holidays. I think i'm gifting art this year which seems cheap and easy now but i'm sure will turn out tidias and expensive.

Steelers have started off good but are getting beat up pretty badly. Go Favre, 6TDs. Hockey season will but starting soon which rocks, theres a Pens game that I want to go to the day after my birthday but i dont think i will have the cash unfortunately.

I'll prolly post some halloween themed stuff this month too, any suggestions may or may not get used - lol.

I also don't think ill be able to to get back to NY to run my annual All Flesh Must Be Eaten: Survival Zombie Horror Roleplaying game halloween story for my local gaming group. It'll be the first one i've missed in 5 years if i don't.

I got new shoes and clothes, pretty exciting first time in a year - lol

I wish the King would reverse pickpocket me.

I have no morning classes this quarter and i am so happy about that.

Pretty psyched to see the express (ernie davis was basically from my home town plus its a football movie) that western apolossa or W/E it is looks pretty good too.

I hope to get back to snowboarding some this winter, i havent gone in awhile and I gotta say i'm kinda missing it.

Plan to lose 50lbs by christmas (we'll see but thats my goal).

Nice to see what could be the most important election of our time has become a media travesty, you'd think Palin is actually running for the republicans the way people talk.

Great Depression part 2 averted by congresses retarded bailout bill...prolly not, let's see shall we.

I think i'm just about out of stuff to ramble about, l8r all.

So the site has a blog which means i should drop random thoughts. So which random thoughts to drop in my first blog.

Well I've decided i absolutely love Eve Lawerence, everytime i see see her in something i'm just like "WoW, your fucking hot! I want to do everything to you!" I'm using her pics for photo reference and manips all the time. She's in a naughty america scene where she plays a pizza delivery girl, so hawt.

The green hues of reagent have been filling my mind lately i'm on a big time Re Animator kick lately taking it so far as to do a painting of Herbert West as a final.

I've actually started putting together the story for my H-Manga story, the scifi space opera thing with KaiLik, so i may actually start working on that aswell as the to non H webcomic projects that i've been planning for a while. Matterville (comic strip mixing science and comedy and my comedy super hero epic The Raping Friends).

F*CK!! I have class at 8am, that's so lame.

I really have been wanting to watch the Serpent and the Rainbow and Lord of Illusions lately.

So like I just discovered Rings' gallery. and i love his style. I think his stuff is super cool. If you ever want to draw any of my OC's have at it man.

Speaking of OC's may have a new one to post soon a teenage cyberpunk techie named Tick.

Sarah Connor Chronicles is back on and has been pretty sweet so far. I like that they brought a T-1000 in, I always thought the T-1000 was really cool. Also having Cameron snap like that and now she's all broke and loopy, i guess Summer Glau is typecast for that though after Firefly and Serenity. Anyway it's pretty much my favorite show right now but i'm pretty stoked for Knightrider.

I didn't figure i would win jezebel's most recent contest but i didn't think i'd be in last either, it's killing me, i put a lot of time into my entry for that.

Holy Crap I can't believe hockey is starting on the 20th, football season just started. I'm may be going to a Pens game for my B-Day though so thats pretty cool. Go Steelers! Go Penguins!!

I bought the new madden and it won't play longer than 15 minutes in my 360, that really pissed me off.

I'm working with a lot more traditional mediums lately, paint, colored pecils, inks; it's fun to get back to basics sometimes.

I'm trying to finish up these few commissions, I got into that slump and just didn't do anything but i'm wrapping things up finally, so if your waiting on something, I'm sorry, sit tight, you will get it.

well that's about it for me now but i'll have more thoughts to post soon i'm sure.

Catch ya l8r,
V
