Now Playing

Journal Entry: Mon May 6, 2013, 11:26 AM




The most common question I get is "WUT SONG IS PLAYIGN OMG SOME1 PLS ANSER!" I only get that question during streams, but it's asked so often that I'm sure it's #1. And it's the ONLY question I get that genuinely irritates me SOOO MUCCHHH RRRGGGGG I AM NOT A DJ I'M JUST TRYING TO DRAW. BESIDES HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF GOOGLE? GOOGLE THE FUCKING LYRICS. NO LYRICS? GET SHAZAM.

*Ahem* /serenity now

ANYWAY… As some of you saw in the stream last night, I've finally found a use for my twitter: twitter.com/slugbox. Since I don't give half a poop about twitter, and it honestly has no real use for me for publicity OR social fun, I'm using it as a Now Playing service. Whatever I'm playing during the streams will be shown there! NEAT!

I DON'T RECOMMEND ACTUALLY FOLLOWING THIS TWITTER BECAUSE I'M PROBABLY GOING TO BE TOO LAZY TO TURN OFF THE NOW PLAYING FEATURE AND IT WILL PROBABLY SHOW WHAT'S PLAYING 24/7. Which will be very annoying for your feed. Unless you want music suggestions all the time! Regardless, that's where you can check what's playing! The Livestream banner will inform people of this from now on, but since this IS the most common question, I figured it's worth posting about too!

Woo!

My inability to sleep is really stressing me out, and the stress is making me really tired, which slows down my life... not to mention art... which stresses me out even more. So basically I'm really tired, really stressed, and have nightmares whenever I sleep, if I sleep. I bought tickets for Iron Man 3 this morning but I'm so exhausted so I don't know if I'm even going to go...

36 HOURS LEFT IN GIVEAWAY - VITA, 3DS, Dakis!

Journal Entry: Mon Apr 29, 2013, 1:15 PM




FIRST OFF: EVERYONE WHO ALREADY HELPED OR DONCRIBUTED IS ALREADY ENTERED!! YAY!

Alright. As I'm sort of safe thanks to everyone, you wonderful people, I haven't been hyping this up as much! But I'm still trying to recover my savings, and I figure one more announcement is warranted for anyone who wants a shot at winning stuff!


Basically, you can win this cool stuff!






All you have to do is spend a dollar on me on anything except my T-Shirt store. I would love to include shirt sales, but I have no way to track who buys what there, and I don't get any email or contact info from there either! SORRY!!

• Winners will be drawn on 4/30/13! So enter before then!

• Contribute/spend up to a dollar, and you'll be entered once! If you spend more, you'll be entered AGAIN for EACH dollar more!! More chances! Any dollar spent during the month of April!

• Now, I seriously mean ANYTHING except the T-shirt store. So if you bought a Daki this month, that's 185 entries. If you bought prints, that amount counts. If you got a commission from me, that's 25 - 75 entries! If you paid any amount for the lineart pack or tutorial pack, you are entered that many times. And if you bought anything from ASM, that counts as well!

• There will be FOUR winners! 1st place picks one of the prizes, 2nd picks from the 3 remainders, and so on!

• Winners will be contacted by their PPal emails!! That way it's DEFINITELY a working email!! WINNERS WILL BE CONTACTED WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF THE DRAWINGS. SO MAKE SURE THIS IS A WORKING EMAIL ADDRESS
</i>

FYI, if you'd just like to donate, you also get the lineart pack in return:



It's pay-what-you-want, so I'm considering that as donations! Yay!!


Thank you all so so much. Really. This whole month has been the worst and best month of the past few years simultaneously. Like... horrible HORRIBLE situations but wonderful, AMAZING people. It's been heaven and hell. But it could have just been hell. So thank you all so much. Really.

It's been a really enlightening month too. Enlightening enough that I will be moving to have more "Pay-What-You-Want" content for everyone. At least, once I'm done all this other work... Whew...

OKAY! I gotta run to the post office!!! WOO!

TO DO LIST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS

IMPORTANT INFO - LIFE UPDATE!

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 12, 2013, 12:30 AM




Just a quick update!

- Taxes are all filed... Thanks to you all. Really. Thank you all. You saved my life. If you're reading this, your probably helped save my life in some capacity. Thank you... It's a huge weight off of my mind. I now focus on rebuilding my shattered savings!

- I have finished the really TERRIBLE graphics contract I had taken on. So hopefully things will be back on pace soon. I also have a few other jobs to do, but they're much more enjoyable work.

- New commission notes will be sent out tomorrow! I'm trying me best to get through the notes I HAVE, before taking on any new ones, so I've closed commission offers!! I have well over 600... And I will try my best to take as many as I can. THANK YOU ALL.

- RAFFLE IS STILL GOING ON until 4/30/13, and ANYONE who contributes ANYTHING to me, for any purpose, is entered to win Dakis, my PSVITA, and my 3DS!!

FUNDRAISER GIVEAWAY! PSVITA, 3DS, DAKIS! FUCK!FIRST OFF: EVERYONE WHO ALREADY HELPED OR DONCRIBUTED IS ALREADY ENTERED!! YAY!
Alright. As many of your know, due to ridiculous new policies regarding digital income in the US designed to punish self-employment efforts, I apparently owe the Govment TWICE AS MUCH AS I SAVED UP FOR. $8000. YAY!
Luckily, I've acquired a sort of big (and really boring) graphics design contract. I'm also doing commissions in between working on that!! But honestly, contributions to this fund are what are keeping me alive right now… And I'm super thankful to all of you. Really. I hate to do this. I really, REALY hate it. It makes me feel just… all over bad… But thank you. I would not survive without the support of my friends here. /actually crying lately.
So yeah… that's my plight… I've lost all my savings instantly and am trying cover the difference. But even then, I've hit rock bottom and can't even pay any bills next month. String is also taking efforts to help us out. It sucks that our fucking cat
