There's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall...

Yeah, wow. Pose references have been working for me like crazy. I'm really proud of these. Like, really.



Also did this for suzanami because Cartwright is pink and green which is pretty much the most amazing thing ever.

Our food stamp card came today and, let me tell you, that was a blessing. Lots of food bought, almost couldn't close our freezer! Found a few ~amazing~ places that accept the Direction Card, like the Asian Food Market in Cuyahoga Falls and Krieger's Market where I bought the biggest strawberries ever.

I gotta buy Angie some noms, as well, in exchange for her helping me with the kitchen the other night. Because, believe me, that was quite the undertaking. But now downstairs is nice and clean and yay!

We're probably also going to BBQ tomorrow night for Supernatural, as long as it's warm out. Should be fun!

I scheduled an appointment to get the cats spayed for free next week. Since we get government assistance (the food stamp card) we qualify for their grant program. Which is awesome because I don't want yowling cats.

So things aren't TERRIBLE at the moment, but they're still iffy. Internet might get cut off, which will suck and I don't want to happen. But at least the library is close by, as is the student center on campus.

I have two job things to look in on. Gotta go up to Save-A-Lot and get an actual application from the manager and we have to go up to the Ryan temp services in Streetsboro and fill out some more papers. But the biggest problem with the latter is a lack of gas money, since the buses don't run up there on a regular basis. Krieger's Market was hiring, something I was PERFECT for (dock unloading/stock), but I wouldn't have a way to get out there every day. :/

We helped Greg out with All-Americon on this last Sunday.

Things went really smoothly! We had almost 400 in attendance and everyone seemed really happy! Which is nice to see.

I acquired a Star Sapphire ring and TJ got a Red Lantern ring. :3 :3 :3 We also chatted with James for a good while about art and comics and other conventions in the area.

My mom called me today to let me know my grandmother's back in the hospital. I guess she went back to the nursing home the other day, but was only there 20 hours before having another respiratory issues. The DNR order is still in place, so my mom wants to know if I can come into town in case the worst happens (or is foreseen to happen). Chances are, they're going to take her off the ventilator and things are just going to go from there.

In other news, to help get rent money together, I'm taking commissions in the style of the ones above. They're $50 each for 1-2 characters (which is $40 less than my normal commissions of that style). Downside? They're completely digital (no traditional sketch), but I'll likely get prints made and sent out in the future.

I can complete these relatively quickly, as I pushed through those three in just a few hours at a time.



For more information, click the link above. I also have a FurBuy auction up for the same thing.

Can't get a commission right now? Advertise for me!

i love that asian market! it's right up by where chris used to live and we've used to walk there from his house. *__* (and omggg i haven't been to that krieger's in forever)

The only thing that makes me sadface about that asian market is that it doesn't carry the ramen I really like. Or the brand of curry paste. BUT, it has everything else I could ask for, so I can't complain too much.

I'd never been to a Krieger's before and I was all sdlkgfjhdklfg at such cheap fruits and so much tasty stuff.
