Another Update

Alright. Things have finally settled. Turns out the problem with the AC was actually a problem with insulation. A good chunk of the apartment had no insulation and, though the landlord and head of maintenance swears up and down that it was only missing in our bedroom, when the people finally came out to install the stuff, they brought nearly 4 times the amount needed for the bedroom... so... someone's not telling the truth. Soon after that, my mother-in-law came in from Mississippi and has been ...

Update on WTF is going on.

First off, I'd like to apologize for such a long span of inactivity. It was planned to be far shorter than it ended up being due to several things fucking up all at once with this move, and to top it off, a little relationship turbulence.. I wont go into details on here but if you'd like to know the full story just ask. I'll probably post a journal on FA about what all fucked up on the move and stuff later.

So I'm moved in to the new apartment now, I still have a lot to unpack, but we finally ...

Man, I forgot how time consuming video editing was. But OH GOD I MISSED IT! Hopefully the quality is ok, i did the best I could with the equipment and programs I have.

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to do this. I hope i get to do it again soon and I hope you all enjoy it!!

Delphox

Hey hey!! I'd like to thank you all for supporting this pinup! I really hope you enjoy it! There are 9 different versions of this one. It's proving to take a good bit of time to make so many versions, so I might have to tweak some things here and there. But it's all good! I had a lot of fun getting to do some pokemon art again. I'll be making 2 versions public, as I usually do. That will be this on and the one attached.

It seems like everything was against me finishing ...

Goals

So it doesn't seem we'll be making the 550/tutorial goal for July. Unless someone jumps in last minute, it looks like we'll be just over $25 short of it. I'll keep you all posted in case anything changes.

Please note, these are directed toward me as the person not Rika the character and will be answered as such. You can ask things like "would Rika like to ____" or "Does Rika ___" or whatever you'd like about the character Rika, but I will not be answering AS her. But yeah, feel fr...

Charge Up Front

Okee, so I mentioned this before in previous posts, and they finally allowed me the option to do it and I will most likely be taking it.

Why are you taking this option?

      Because I have had SEVERAL people/bots whatever, jump in on a tier only to pull their pledge before the month is over, skewing the number on my page, confusing people as to why certain goals weren't met at the very end, skewing my estimations for the month... all t...

TUTORIAL WINNER!!

Thank you all for voting on the tutorial for this month. I really hope you're going to enjoy the tutorial that comes of it.

This month's winner is Canine heads! So I will be showing you how to sketch and refine a generic canine head as well as define some features for some specific canines like wolves, foxes, dog breeds etc. I think this is a decent one to start on, and can be used in a good variety of situations ^^

I'm trying to figure out if I want to make this a video or just ...

Late Weekly WIP

I apologize for not sending out the weekly WIP pack yesterday. My son fell down a flight of stairs from the top yesterday afternoon and hit his head on the tile. He's seemed ok, but I've been watching him closely and giving him all my attention for the past 24 hours to be sure he's completely ok. Nothing has shown up so far, he's been 100 percent responsive, active, hungry, thirsty, and running around.

I will have your WIP packs either later tonight or early tomorrow, depending on how thin...
