Regarding NaNo, Art Trades & Requests, My Life




So, I've finally decided what I'm going to be doing for NaNo, and using FreeMind, mind-mapping software, I think I've got a pretty good idea how it's gonna go.

Sorry, , no lesbians this time. :/

But I have recruited four NaNo first-timers, and it makes me feel special~ ;D




I have done base-outlines for all my trades and requests, save for , because I still have no clue what she wants. xD;




So, now onto the less-important stuff: my life.
I'm still jobless, but I've put in applications in more than 330 businesses (not an exaggeration) in the tri-state area, and I've still got nodda. =_=;

I'm also replied to more Craigslist posts than I care to think about.
(Nothing too sketchy, but close enough.)

I tried to get involved with a green company, but they wanted me to pay for training, and the like so... I said I'd keep them in mind, but I cant really afford to do anything like that. ($199 and it'd take three weeks before I could even think about seeing any green of my own.)

I'm also going to be missing somethin' fierce while she's off at school, and I'm already missing 'cause she has disappeared. (Not irl, I don't think.)

With any luck, I'm going to be spending a lot of time with , helping her prepare for her first NaNo. >3<~

I'm also addicted to the facebook app, City of Wonder.
...And the home-design program, Autodesk.

...Seriously.

And I've decided, my goal in life is to have a Shire Horse and own a house that I designed, somewhere out West. :3
If you want to see what's going down, check my tumblr: burntcorn-crossing.tumblr.com/

So, I am now the terrified owner of a 2008 Kia Spectra.




It's freaking adorable car www.facebook.com/album.php?aid…
, and it allows me to position the driver's seat so I'm actually COMFORTABLE (as I am vertically-challenged, this is an amazing thing for me.  Seriously. You have no idea how hard it is to find me a seat that will work and work /well/)

So, while I may not make some cross-country trips, I will, at the very least, be driving around town, tootin' my horn and forcing my seat to make a quack-quack sound (it seriously sounds like I'm sitting on a duck when I adjust it.)

...And so with new transportation, comes a new job and... the destruction of my immense quantities of free time. =_=;

I refuse to let it affect my NaNoWriMo participation, however, this means I'm going to do my best to get all the trades & requests done in the next few days or so, but if I don't, I'm sorry. D,x

I am however, terrified that I will fuck it up somehow or not be able to pay for it. =_=;

Because I don't have a cooler idea for a subject-title.



So my wisdom teeth decided to start coming in last weekend, and due to multiple procedures done to my mouth during my adolescence, I get to enjoy them for the full duration of the teething process. I've been having these crazy, out-of-nowhere fevers that completely wipe me out. So anything and everything I'm working on is going to take twice as long (though I am trying to get stuff done.. its just not going so well. Dx )

To-Do // On-My-Mind List:

Finish the Bad-Guy meme.
Work on character-sheets.
Work on Astral Bindings.

So, I'm going to be out of town, and most likely without internet access until I get home late Sunday evening, but I felt I should update my journal in anticipation of my absence.

_{(Apologies to those who were on my Art Feature post, to be fair, I'll put you at the bottom of this entry. <3)}



So, getting right to the point!
Since I seem to be getting an unprecedented number of pageviews, here's my first Kiriban for you! Who-ever is the 1,112^th person to view my page, you'll get free art.
Free. From me. Rejoice. (Or cower in fear as my art is just bleh.)
Notes: *Please screencap it and send it to me in a Note~
_{** If you get to 1,110, 1,111, 1,113 or 1,114- if no one reports anything closer, you'll be chosen.}




In accordance with several of the groups I've joined, I need to create a journal entry in regards to my Art-Trades and Art-Requests status, preferences, and mediums.
So here goes:
Art-Trades:
I deal in digital art and that's about it, until I can get my scanner to work with my laptop.
I'm a fairly busy individual, running my own business, so I can only take a limited number of Art-Trades at a time (this number will fluctuate as my work does), and it can take up to a week or so for me to get your work done, I'm sorry, but I want it to at least look decent.
Regardless of what you would like me to draw, I would like you to link me to at least one ref.
In Exchange: I would like to have art of my own characters (we can discuss which and refs privately) or if you would rather do something a little more definite, please send me a note or comment so we can work something out.
Openings:

Waiting List (In Order):
None~




Art-Requests:
If you want me to do something for free, please keep it limited to your OCs or Humanoid Anime/Manga-characters, I can't draw animals very well at all, but I do all-right with animal-aspects (ears, tails, eyes, and I'm more than open to trying animal-patterns on skin). Give me their background-story and as much information about their looks and clothing as you can, if you can't provide a ref.
....I'd also like to know as much about them as possible, especially if you RP. *hinthint*
