So for the past few days the area about 45 minutes from here has like... 3-6 forest fires burning (can't remember how many really) and its smelt REALLY GOOD. like every day i go outside and it smells like burning forests and its like such a good smell haha I LOVE IT. minus the fact that the poor, poor people living there are getting evacuated.. but hey, its good for the forests and smells nice. just as long as it doesn't turn into this huge natural disaster like 7 years ago or w/e where basically the whole valley was up in flames with fucking forest fires everywhere. YAY DRY AIR!!

I've got a little good news! Paypal got back to me with my claim, and I received my payment back in full. Yay!


I'm moving slowly today, but may be up to a little costume work later, we'll see.

So after work, all of my co-workers use the tip money to buy alcohol, have a lot of fun, and enjoy life.

I was always too busy with homework to stay, and finally, tonight, broke down and was like "screw my homework, I'm going to hang out, guys"

This is how I realized that they do this practically every night after work... AND I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT!

Apparently, I just get really talkative when I drink.
So, this means I'm nothing different from before. I guess I'm not fake.

After making, and failing my first two attempts, of my first head. I need to order more foam for my thrid attempt :P

What do you get when you take a Scottish artist and put him in Berlin with an LJ account? The Click Opera, that's what. Momus offers up a daily kulturkritik on whatever takes his fancy, from modern architecture to conceptual art.

Fans of novelist Catherynne M. Valente (aka yuki_onna) flock to this community to discuss the latest chapter in her online novel, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making.

So I decided I'm going to make a coyote partial (which will be up for sale in the near future :3 ) Basic foaming is done, but now it's time for redlines and refining! I did my own set of lines, but if anyone has some suggestions or a better set of lines, please let me know =)

Planning on building a cow head.
Info and concept under the cut.
( Concept and concerns.. )

Requests for icons and dragons are open again! Ask for free art or leave me a tip! I will be adding all requests to my schedule. I have no set cutoff time for today. I'll close requests if I feel like I've got enough to tackle, or when it starts getting late, whichever comes first. Remember, one request per person. Tell your friends :D

just got the nearly finished painted results of my new 'suit head for shadow! and I'm very happy with how it came out :) its made by artsquish~


also, as the title of the topic sugguests, I'm gonna be trying to fit his mane onto the head, which can be seen basicly in my icon, but for a better image of his mane..

( images below )

i have a commission inqury for a Skiltaire and i remembered some one else made one here and mentioned that the character/species belonged to some one else. i already made the mistake of making a crux not knowing it was not the commissioners personal creation (and thankfully the real creator was fine with it and gave me the all clear to make future crux suits)
so does the species belong to some one and do you know if its okay to make suits of one?
if you do not know if it is okay to just make a Skiltaire suit then can some one lend me the contact info i need to find out?

So..

Basicly ALL my fishes died today.
I know the reason behind it (Or I believe that's it)

but dang.
I had 8, have 1 left..
And that last one doesn't look like it'll make it through the night. :/

Fuck.

Well, for his birthday my boy asked me/begged/puppy eyed me to make him his sona's ears and tail...(If anyone remembers on fursuit auction, it's the one I posted XD)
So, I finally finished it the other day! I'm very proud of it...It's my first real tail (of COURSE it had to be a skunk XD)...Although it is my first real tail, I have been sewing for over two years now so :3... I also got a few pics done...(I really want better ones...There was horrid lighting and only me...so the pics suck atm XD)
( See this come to life! )

Dearest customers,

I'm really sick right now, and am having a really hard time doing my best work. Instead of working slowly/not very well, I'm opting to not work on commissions for a day or two until I kick the worst of this. This will create slight delays, but everyone who is expecting finished costumes in July will be getting them in July.

If I don't get back to you right away via email, just give me a little time. I'm taking it really easy. Michael is just getting over this head cold thing, and he had three or four days of feeling absolutely horrid. I'm on day two.


Thank you for your patience and understanding,

~Shadow
