Updates

I swear I am uploading more stuff soon xD!!
I'm working on two things currently, almost finally done with the promised Halloween picture. Just have to finish the background.
I went to my dad's house today, or his ex house now that he sold it. The buyer was there today with her two little girls. They were so cute, the three year old wouldn't leave me alone and tried to make me play princess with her, something I never was into even as a child.
The other one was only three months old and was the cutest baby I had ever seen. After I went back downstairs I discovered that they had ninja painted my elbow when I wasn't looking. WTF How did I not know that?
When I came back to my mom's house, I had successfully locked myself out of the house, so I had to pop out the screen in the window and crawl through on a milk crate. It probably would have been amusing to any by standers around.
So what's new with all of you?

Oink Oink

I think I might have actually caught the swine flu O.o But regardless of what it was I'm pretty much over it now, just coughing a lot... A LOT. No seriously I'm pretty sure that I hacked up a lung a little while ago.
Anyways, more artwork is to come very shortly, I am currently working on 4 projects. One of which you will not be able to see until Halloween. Hehe.
I'm also getting a paycheck in a few weeks, so when that comes after I set aside the needed for saving and other important items, the extra will go towards more art supplies so I can amuse you all with pretty pictures. Or okay pictures, whichever you prefer xD

Baroque and Rococo commissions

The info about the Baroque and Rococo commissions is at the bottome of the page.
I should apologize first off, for my English is not the best xD
Moving on, My life has been a bit crazy recently. There has been a lot of people pulling me in each direction, and nearly no support for me what so ever.
I've been having trouble with finding the motivation to even get out of bed, let alone do artwork.
My mother, although I do love her has really been depressing me recently. We woke around 7h00 in the morning and the first thing she does is start yelling at me for no obvious reason that I could think of. Turned out she was mad that I had not thanken her boyfriend for buying dinner. Well first off her boyfriend hates me and told me that straight to my face before, secondly he treats me like his slave and makes me do all of his ranch work and chores and never thanks me for it, thirdly I flat out forgot to thank him. I would of, but I forgot and I did feel bad about that. But she blew it out of proportion saying that I was a rude inconsiderant, spoiled brat. So I asked her why she let's my other sisters get off the hook for stealing things, running away from home in the middle of the night, and throwing parties in her house while she is away, yes treats me like the black sheep if I even sneeze without her permission. I mean the worst thing I have ever done is........hmm.....forgot to bring my cell phone so I could call her when I got to my friends haus?
So I just say what the hell and call her boyfriend to thank him. After that my mom follows me into the guest room where I am cleaning the bedroom a little bit and proceeds to lecture me about being a bad child and her being the authority of this haus.
I just stand there staring blatantly at her while she proceeds to yell at me. And then she says that if I get out of line one more time she will make my life miserable. I couldn't help it so I said "well my life is already miserable, how could you make it any worse?" She started screaming at me and told me quote "You better fuc*ing apologize to me right now!" So I started laughing, I don't know why, I just did. And then she said "And wipe that dumb ass grin off your face before I slap it off!"
This went on for a while longer, and I thought it had cooled off until about 20 minutes later when she came into my room and suspicously asked me what I was doing. I looked around and said that I was just cleaning my dresser, which was the truth. And then what she said next gave me the weirdest emotion, something like wanting to punch the shit out of something, cry, laugh, and go into hysterics at the same time. She said "I smell weed, are you smoking?!"
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WEED SMELLS LIKE! I would never touch the horrid stuff in a millions years, you couldn't pay me to touch that shit. I was shocked into silence so I just stood there staring at her, which of course she took as being guilty so she started playing the bad cop and trying to interrogate me about it.
Finally it was over and she started acting like my best friend again for the rest of the evening which was really weird because one minute she is going mentally insane and the next minute she act like she is actually a good mother.
O.o I am so confused. I don't know who is worse, my mom or my dad. At least my dad only drinks when I'm not there, and instead of pursuing me and yelling at me he just sulks off and wont talk to me for weeks. Anyways, I saved my commission information for last, I didn't want this to seem like all I cared about was getting commissions, which is not what I care most about, by far.
So here it is.
I am going to pick up both the baroque and the Rococo style which was popular in the late 1700s. You can see examples of it here.

Rococo is an art style that followed after Baroque. It uses softer tones and more pastel colors.

baroque is more exciting with brighter colors and more intense scenes. If I were to offer these for around $20.00 to $30.00 would anyone be interested. Or do you think that these styles would be sought after at all?

Wolves in Our Backyard

Okay, so my friend Katie came to my house over the weekend. And in case you didn't know we live way out in the woods. So Katie wanted to go horseback riding, so we caught my saddle horse and rode her into the front pasture. Katie was riding towards me when we both heard a wolf howl xD I started laughing and asked her if she had heard it to. So I howled back and all of the sudden about ten different wolves howled all around us. We both laughed and thought it was really cool until the pack closest to us started yipping and running towards us. Keep in mind this is at 9:30 PM so we can't see that much because it is dark. Plus the pack is under the cover of a thicket of trees.
So Katie and I are like "oh shit" because a pack might actually get aggressive either towards us or my horse. And these guys were really getting close so I yelled at them and after about a minute they went quiet. I was still picturing them watching us unsaddle my horse from the thicket of the trees but I didn't see anything. After the horse was safely in her pen we went back to howl at them some more now that we could weren't burdened with the horse. I howled once, there were a few distant howls coming from the mountains, and then a closer call coming from a lone wolf by the river to our right.
It was the first time Katie had ever heard a real wolf and I couldn't have been happier to have been the one who was with her on that experience.
Next time I'm going into the mountains to call in this pack again. I'll try to get pictures of the wolves for you guys, from the safety of a tree stand or a good distance away of course if it is a large or aggressive pack.

Sick

Ugh, I do not feel good at all today, but I did get this finished last night.

It took forever but I am happy with how it came out. The funny thing about this picture is I was drawing it around the time my cat Ezra disappeared. I was so worried, every one was stressing that he probly died so that made me even more depressed because I thought he was gone for good and I would never find him again.
I know he is just a cat but i've had him since I was two years old. He is one of the only good things from my childhood and when he dies a little peice of my childhood is going to die to. So the whole day I was sniffing and sobbing over that picture thinking at the same time how ironic it was that I was drawing it.
Later that evening after we got home from my sisters, I heard him meow at the door. I was so relieved. I think I really shouldn't listen to my family, I'm still mad at my mom for telling me that I should be on the lookout for his body when I was trying to find him.
Well at least he is safe and sound, and trying to eat my headphones again. So all is back to normal.
