Dear Deviants,

It has been a long while since I have actually uploaded anything, but I have recently uploaded a few more deviations, including "Grew up too fast" and an art trade with booski. Expect more soon, because I have climbed out of my art rut and i'm enjoying drawing again. I'm trying to work on my shading techniques, but I am a very impatient, lazy artist and so it will probably take me quite awhile.

I am open to trades and commissions right now, preferably commissions because I am in such desperate need of money. You can go here [link] to see what I charge, but I will haggle. I take payment through the mail and through paypal, so it is all safe and good. Also, I would be happy to be commissioned to design characters.

My life is beginning to balance out, in case you are interested. My parents have decided it is okay that I dropped out of Uni, because I very much intend to go back. I dropped out because my roommate attacked me, I became severely depressed and stopped going to class, and instead of talking to my professors of what I was going through I withdrew, afraid that if I didn't I would fail because of the harsh attendance policies. Anyway, around February I hope to be renting a house with a few people in San Marcos (the town that my University is in) so I can live closer to my job (I am a Print & Design Clerk) and my friends. However, I am in need of a second job (which I am in search for as we speak) and I need to save up money and such. This is where commissions would help me out a bit, so if you are able to do that, it would be much appreciated!
My boything has had to move back home for a few months unexpectedly, so that is stressful. The finding a second job thing is stressful, but I can manage. I know I'll find one. And my parents are supporting me now, they just want me to be happy, which is a relief.

Neo-wise I am still working on Kohinor's story. My greatest friend Liz has agreed to illustrate it when I am done (thank you liz!).. she is incredibly talented and you should visit her- she is ecw321. It is a huge, long, insane story and I worry that I will not be able to do it justice, which is freaking me out and I am writing it uber slowly.
In the meantime, I have been drawing. I am applying for a Lunuhr x Exha puppy, and I will find out the result of the application process from that in early february. If I find out I am lucky enough to recieve a pup, I will be creating my cute little shadow pup on valentines day, adorning him with his nc mall background and wings, and creating a petpage for him.
Until then, I have drawn a picture that I want to use as Rhennium's petpage, so I am going to code that and write up some content and get myself back into project puppy.
Also, I am redesigning Cupivi and redoing her page.
After ALL OF THAT IS FINALLY DONE I will most likely make a new page for Boli.

Whilst I am slowly working on all of those projects, I am VERY INTERESTED in taking trades/ COMMISSIONS. So don't be afraid to note me about that.

Thanks for reading, I love you all very much and if anyone would ever like to note me just to talk (about something specific you think i'll relate to or just anything troubling you/on your mind, ANYTHING) please drop me a line. I do care

xoxo
Kate
