Hello all, i swear i'll stop going dark soon.  ^.^;

I have my PC back but Sal's was dead on arrival and has to be sent back, so were both still unable to play.

We also have someone interested in buying the house.. Fingers crossed!

Im signed up to go work two arts and crafts fair in July, as long as the car doesnt break again, I should be able to go make a little cash and unload some originals *whee!*

Sal took up a hobby.. He is now a RL LW!  in training.  Current skill level is two.. xD  So he'll get to work events with me and with a bunch of farmers in the area his should go over well!  

I hope all of you are well and I hope to get to actually hang out in game again soon!  if this house sells I should see yall in July!  If not.. Then maybe when BfA rolls around.

If you like mermaids I'm doing #mermay2018 including taking game npcs and making them Mermaids.  If your interested I post to twitter and instagram daily but instagram is the best place to see the art since I rave like a mad woman on twitter!   Instagram.com/kiritawindwalker

If any of you are also doing #mermay even if it's not the full month let me know, I'd love to check your stuff out!

Hello all, and a big thank you for birthday wishes!  So sorry to be MIA but still looking to get my PC fixed and Sal's is going down too... But luck him, he has some cash to get a new one and if we stay in budget I can afford to fix mine too rather then letting him get a bigger TV!  If we stay under budget, maybe then we get new TV depends on bills.

I hope we'll be able to join all of you in a few raids this summer before the next expac hits, eep!  It was so fun hanging out with everyone on the few event we got to join.

And to my WoW/Blizz friends looking to go to Blizzcon, gratz if you got tickets, good luck with Saturday if your still trying!    Feel free to look me up if you want a Character Badge, i'll give you the Guildie discount ;D

Everyone else, just have a great day and a fun weekend

Hi, hi, im poking in.  Basically no word on my PC since last time but we've finally got a firm move date, i've got a possible interview for part time work and im broadening my work load and doing events and parties after doing a charity event where I ended up alone doing Caricatures, Face Painting, button/stickers, coloring pages, and the scavenger hunt... I was suppose to have a group of artist to help with this while I focused mostly on the DIY buttons and stickers since they were my machines and helped fill in the others as needed... No one showed.. x.x  So I had to handle ALL of the kids activities solo.  At least Sal was there to handle Popcorn..  

On a less personal note I hope all of you are having a awesome month and a safe pinch free St Paddys Day!  ^.^  Sal packed his only shirt with green in it..  So he had a slightly painful day, hehe.  

My Pc finally gave out on me ;_; 

Neither me nor Sal are too skilled with tech so if anyone has some cheap recommendations for a decent rig that can run Wow on fair settings and handle the process of digital painting in PS. I could use some suggestions.

Money's tight so under 1k would be great.  We've never done it but we can try to do a build... a prebuilt that we might could upgrade along the way would rock too.

All suggestions are super appreciated since I can't even work without a running rig.. ^,^;

Eep!  Im sorry I havent been around.  Sal and I are finally moving this month and I personally let my time lapse till were moved!  Sal's time might lapse too since we might not have internet right away...

I probably should fill out a LoA form... x.x  I miss WoW, im going into gaming withdraw with all the hype over the new expac!

Not bragging, just informing.  As of the 31st Sal (Salivan, Gaunter... ) and I are married.  ^.^  If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram then you already saw the post and heard about my webcomic too.

Were both reaallyy hoping to actually do more with the guild this year since we should be moved soon.  If all goes well no one will have to seek new job at our new location and this dump will sell fast meaning were free to have fun, be social... Or i'll be free to be social.  Sal will probably keep hiding under bushes stalking the chat and randomly poking people in Dal..

Last thing, I dont like advertising here but i'll be doing a few specials this month on head shots.  Mainly will be doing   silhouette and one shot greyscale shading sketches for $3 through my ko-fi as rewards.  I'll be putting details up tomorrow but if you wanted cheap art of a character that might interest you.  Best place for the info is on Twitter.com/huntressfinoa or ko-fi.com/kiritawindwalker  I'll include details with the post if anyone is interested.  I dont usually do them this cheap, im just practicing with certain things each month and offering specials around them.

Happy New Years everyone!

Happy only-One-Hour-Late-Birthday! 

Doing a limited time commission offer if any guildies wanna join in.

Coool... We have snow and lights!  How festive.

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and Safe Black Friday if you celebrate that stuff... Or fear it depending on where you are in the world *shudders at the videos of black friday*

Its not guild related but i'd hate to leave my guildies out.  Im running two giveaways.  One on my twitter, one on my facebook business page.  Both are independent and both will have winners picked on the 1st.  The prize for each is a free chibi of you or your character (or a similar priced commission).  Both post are pinned at the top so their easy to find.

Links below, happy holidays I have to get back to work!  ^.^

Oh my feet.. I stood for 7 hours straight drawing and did not wear sensible shoes...  I dont care if you do it everyday, I havent done anything like that since April so shh and let me whine a little... xD  

Today I spent my 7 hours greeting vistors, trying to explain what digital art was to people in their 70s (This week I have all my equipment and a spare PC at a local business... I am a "Live Artist Working for Tips" no really, that is what they called me x.x), and trying to pawn my prints and merchandise off on people... Many business cards were taken for the "Cute puppy."  I drew 8 different fully colored, lined, and shaded chibis... I finished a digital painting, and started sketching out Drakea to work on tomorrow in all her engineering glory.

And it starts again tomorrow... And all the way to Friday.. Then every Thursday and Friday till 2018 in multiple mediums.  I suppose if you have to work anyway its not a bad way to make extra off tips but the locals are so stingy >>;  Quick to take a freebie and ask if they can have a clearly priced item though..  "Everything is $10" somehow got translated to "Ask nicely and i'll give it to you, but if I dont throw a fit and THEN i'll give it to you!"  This wasnt even kids doing this.. x.x;  Here's hoping tomorrow has more sane or reasonable people!

I spammed in some pictures because I had some freetime.. Im sowwy..  ^.^;  Im between commissions and wont be doing my art shows till next week.

Next week i'll be doing Daily Art Shows for the local museum... Then the local artist showcase is Thursday... Then I have to set up another booth Friday...

The week after i'll be doing hour long shows twice a week till the end of the year... To those wondering, Sal and i will also be getting married at the end of December... ^.^;  (Sal, not Saal..    That fuzzy DK that rarely speaks... That one.  He likes to make puns... We've had that confusion... )  But being gamers, our honeymoon will probably involve WoW or him screaming as I make him play FNAFs or PT demo... Why?  Because I love his horror.  Its adorable and im actually quite evil.  

That being said, im going to try and get my last two prizes done tomorrow or this weekend.  I hope to do the Friday Leveling with friends in WoW with all of you this time.. ^.^;  And if im lucky, I can do the casual raid this weekend again.  I

Over all, I hope to just be more active on both the forums and in game within the next few weeks.  

On a side note, if any of you like my style and would like to see a certain NPC or something in any medium, please let me know.  I need ideas for my art shows because next week will be 5-8 hours each day.  I'll be doing digital, acrylic, Ink, Watercolor, and Marker for sure.  I might branch over and work in some oil paints, charcol, and pastels since the museum is offering to let me poke at their inventory since im doing this for tips.  ^.^  I will work on commissions and custom ornament, mug, and pendant orders as well im sure. 

For lack of better terms, im setting up a office in the middle of a museum so people can see what a artist does and hopefully drop a few tips in a jar and take my business cards.. xD  The one up side to my unemployment is I can really donate a lot of time to my local museum.  

Thank you!

Oh hey, I won the day?  Okay.. xD  Soo... I came back... After a time of not being here or only poking in to talk to those I owed prizes to... (Busy with Inktober, Drawtober, Booth, Commissions, Prizes, looking for work.. ect... )  Needless to say, last time I really poked the forums (which wasnt much) was when Clubs was started and there was this whole thing on if clubs were good and bad that I think turned into the issue being closed or private clubs... Now its elections or something...?  o.o  I am a new member.. My main interaction ingame was with the WoW division and my time on the forums has mostly just been me posting art, pictures of pets, and cracking a few jokes...  But I gotta say, the drama that popped out of no where... I really hope that isnt a normal thing.. o.O

On a personal note, I have 2/5 prizes done, I am working on the others, I promise... I hope to get them all done before the next Friday now that inktober/drawtober is over I can focus more on the prizes and commissions again.  

I also will be in a art show this month and running a few booths in December.  ^.^  But once I catch up on commissions and finish atleast one or two of the prizes I plan to run a few giveaways on my twitter and instagram for followers if anyone is interested.    If any other artist are on those platforms, i'd love if you let me know, I like to follow and support fellow artist on my art accounts... Because that makes sense... And I like having pretty pictures in my feed. 

To those I owe art to, im working on it, I swear!  My booth opens tomorrow so i've been scrambling to make a few more originals to sell.  Want to make sure I break even so I can get a profit this weekend!  Experience is great, bills paid is best.  All the same, I will get the sketches to those of you I still need approval from and to the one I have it from im inking it between paint layers.

Personally, i've discovered a love for water colors... Use to hate them.  Still dislike acrylic but I can do some realistic leather with it... Its terrifying.  When I catch up with all my work im going to try a multi media piece again I think and start up a online store for originals and prints.. And at some point I will remember its raid night before it starts instead of an hour late... Seriously, I need a damn alarm clock to come track me down and remind me!

To anyone who wants art but didnt win it in the raffle, I will offer a 25% discount till mid Nov for those who donated, just another way for me to pat you on the back for being so giving.    I will also have a discount on traditional style head shots till mid Nov in two styles:  Ink'd and Color'd (which is inked then filled with color.  I'll be doing them on 3.5 by 3.5 in card stock with mailing if your interested.  I'll be posting those prices on my social medias in the next few days but your welcomed to message me if interested.  (I accept Paypal but I might accept WoW Gold based off current token cost.  I have a plushie addiction and I pay for game time via token.  Its worth a ask. )

Wish me luck tomorrow at my booth.  <3

Sal left me alone in a arts store... Things were bought.  Many things.  Im back in the red... Oops x.x I place all blame of him for leaving me unattended around art/book stores...!!  Upside, my booth is going to have tons of inked shit to sell on the 14th.  ^.^

I just entered the Shadow of Argus Contest... I am filled with instant regret.

Happy National Coffee Day!  Feel free to check out a live stream I did making some art to celebrate to love of bean juice!  

I have an addiction to Micheals (the art store!)  I use to think it was a overpriced shit hole... Then someone told me they have coupons...  Constantly having 50% off items or whole purchases, I now understand why they were so high and have spent close to $200 in supplies...  But the original total would of been closer to $600...  I have issues with sales and Sal is wanting to ban me from the Art store... he already bans me from anything with books and animals... ._____. 

Unrelated note, i've got 10% off on Halloween themed pieces till Friday the 13th (October 13, 2017) and after that i'll be doing a blitz sale on Inked Headshots via my ko-fi to celebrate Inktober since this will be my first year joining.  

I do digital and traditional (which is apparently very popular since thats all people seem to want from me!).

I have been AWOL for awhile... Getting things ready for Booth selling in Oct... Possible exhibit in Nov... Painting gaint wardrobe... Not worth the 300 bucks, noo....Going slightly insane... But im gooood im greaaattt...  I need more coffee... Pumpkin Spice needs to die... *eyebrow twitch*  cant scroll on facebook without seeing pumpkin spice.. including some strange creation involving spiced filling in hot dog...  Strange creatures are these humans..  How is the rest of the community..?

Its cooling off early and I love it... My PCs are cooling off, my tablet isnt scalding my hand, I took a plunge and ordered some copic knock offs...  Great weather for coffee... So I can paint pictures of coffee... Because Pumpkin Spice season is a thing and I bet I can sell 12 paintings of lattes and pumpkin coffees faster then a single fantasy painting in this area... 

Grumble, grumble... I hate doing traditional mediums too but atleast I love coffee... Not the pumpkin spice stuff... I like it black or mocha... I need sleep, im pretty sure i've gone bananas... Hmm... Zzzz...

Gah, cant sleep... My throat hurts.. x.x  Damn company and their false promises of boneless fish...  I hacked one up but im not sure if there is another lodged or if my throat was just scratched!  Its a dull, aching pain that is more annoying then having all my fingers broken!  (I can say that because it has happened!  There was a lesson learned)

Im a extra excited artist.  <3  I got some recording software for screen captures so I can require unlimited footage and finally do speed paints!  I've wanted to do this for ages!  Just another excuse for me to blow off packing and work!  

Someone may have to remind me about the raids Saturday...  Im getting reeaaalllyyy into this...  I've never got to see myself draw before outside of real time tablet to screen... The only things I need to make life perfect is a new tablet and a new version of photoshop... After nearly 15 years, im dying to upgrade... But for now, im just excited to have a new.. toy.  

Now im going back to my Gollum stance, calling my computer my precious while my husband to be completely blows off the fact that I am clearly messed up in the head...

Ugh, sorry I havent been on much lately.  Finally finished with the Charity Auction and ended up with more work.  I have two paintings and a chair to recreate...  I specialize in digital and everyone wants traditional stuff. Q.Q  At least the lack of work means I can do it faster.  So even at 4 dollars a hour, its still nearly a weeks pay doing something I enjoy.

Kills my gaming time though.  :(  So very sorry im MIA since Trial ended.  I hope to try and keep doing Saturday stuff as long as I can between work and packing.  It would be nice to join in on the PvP stuff again and maybe get into the RP stuff... After I figure out what the heck the guild is lore wise.

But I ramble... I do that when tired, stressed, happy... Uh.  Always.  I always ramble.  But I entertain at the very least!
