eveningcomes:

“Before my body’s dead and gone,

Before the moon sets below the horizon line

I have a few, a few things that I would like, that I would like to, like to complete

_

Before my time on earth is up

I only have one real wish

Just to hold, just to have

Some time to

Just to have, just to hold all of you close

_

Before my time on earth has passed

Before the glow fades from between the trees

I hope to have done something worthwhile

Something that, will make all of you and your kids smile

_

Something new, something found, something profound

Something new, discovered while burning my midnight oil

And the nights

Dreaming and dancing will be full of all, the adventures

_

I have no

No intent of letting my

Chance at fun, slip through my fingers

Before I sit

By the moon in the night sky

(If I’m lucky enough too)

_

Before my body’s dead and gone

(Before my body’s dead and gone!)

Before my life’s flame is extinguished

Before all, all the fun and chances

To live and ride, and travel through the moonlight

_

Before this sorry little flame

Becomes nothing but a warm, small, distant memory

I will fight, I will run, I will go as

Far as my, legs will hold before they give out

_

And if I don’t

Ever become something worthwhile

At least I

Know I burned until the flame was gone

Up in smoke and shadowy clouds

Hovering, over your heads

_

And even if I die

Without getting to hold you all as close to my heart as I’d wanted

I’ll at least

Know that some of you

Held me back and felt

The sense of kinship that came out

In the glow

Of the soft, setting moonlight.”

Track by Toby “Radiation” Fox, featuring Samm Neiland on viola and Clark Powell on cello, from Homestuck Volume 9.

The song is absolutely fine without lyrics - but I just had a few rattling around in my head that I figured I’d post and I drew up a crappy sketch to go along with them. I’m sorry it’s probably kinda weird and shitty but this song really hit something deep inside of me for some reason and this was the only way to help get it out of my system. I mean it REALLY struck with me and I got weirdly emotional over it especially after seeing this piece of lovely fanart and then I started applying it to my own life and how much I care about my friends and how close I’ve gotten to the ones I’ve made and the future and als;dkfhasjkldfhasjdklf

So to recap: Song is not mine.

Fake Lyrics: Are mine.

Shitty sketch of me: Also mine.

would you be willing to sing this song with these lyrics of yours?
I’ve always wanted to hear a vocalized version c:

Hmm, I’m not sure if my singing voice is any good - but I suppose I could make an attempt.

I make no promises, however.

So

Who wants to get a group together and do a series of fan-animations for “OFF” over the summer?

Charlotte gets her own little mini-post. I was experimenting with “pixel-style” traditional coloring yesterday. Obviously I need to work on it more, but it’s lots of fun so I’m going to keep at it.

windatyourfeels — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 15:12:50 -0400

WIP of Minty Senior... Who will be in the upcoming webcomic, along with mini-Cerberus sniffing her.

Whoops how did this get in here

"I dream of Baras" apparently.

Hades and Cerberus (mini) for final animation.

More Hades. "Cerberus, I met the prettiest, nicest woman today!"

Small Sketchdump featuring nothing but OCs (sort of). Captions should tell you who’s who.

Second draft of her concept. Did this one after it was mentioned in animation class that we'd be doing character design. I was not completely satisfied with it.

Some gesture/pose drawings of her made around the same time I did the new outfits.

Quickly done and colored alternate outfits! The one of the far right looks ridiculous because I didn't have the right colored markers to make it look right. Oops.

Part of her from the newer character sheet. Older than the gesture drawings and outfits, newer than the first and second character designs.

More gestures and body size/composition planning.

In between the second and third character sheets, I doodled this. Not quite her??

More gestures. Walking up walls... Gonna use that for the animation. Heh.

OLDEST concept of her that was nixed due to me messing with concepts that weren't mine to mess with. Kept the moth thing though.

First and pretty much only Civilian drawings I have of her which is pretty sad considering she's adorable. That's her buddy in the second drawing.

Moth Lady sketchdump! Uh, oh geez, these are all from varying points in her design, but they are labeled from oldest to newest. At the very least.

Also, her name is “Erika”. By day she’s actually a police officer/investigator. By night she sleepwalks and turns into a moth woman… And promptly pisses herself because she generally wakes up in the underworld with moth wings and has no fuckin’ clue what’s going on because she was sleeping.

PS THE SCANS ARE TERRIBLE

Oh God the quality is terrible but I wanted to upload sketches...

windatyourfeels — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 23:46:03 -0400

Sometimes I wanna make shitty Skyrim comics but then even the previews look shitty so...

Those are nicknames, not their actual names - except for Frieda. Also "Silent Sam" is not a silent person. At all.

Owl and Frieda I attempted to fancy-frilly you guys and it looks terrible so I can only bear to show the headshot since I didn't finish the rest, REDRAW NEEDED.

Pyro's battle-outfit. Scan was waaaaay too light.

Pyro's civilian outfit. Also waaaay too light a scan.

Slightly modded and inked Pyro battle-outfit. If you haven't guessed already, she controls fire.

The DaveKat palebros goes in this dump too.

Oh God the quality is terrible but I wanted to upload sketches so you guys didn’t think I ever stopped drawing after comms and I really like uploading stuff every week or so. So here’s some OCs and concepts woohoo.

I might or might not end up using Pyro for an animation.

-DRAWING COMMISSIONS POST-

Pricing is suggested, though I promise you it won’t go ridiculously over the suggested amount unless you request something super-duper-extra-special. Talk to me so that we can tailor the price to the commission (depending on the size/subject, it might even a lesser cost than the listed price).

*See above for some pricing examples.

Pricing is based on the amount of time that goes into each piece, materials costs, the size of the piece requested, and shipping costs.

*For Digital Art commissions, tell me if you want a print made of it that I could mail to you. However, the original price might go up a few bucks to cover the cost of the print, envelopes and shipping. I can still email you the original image file even if I send you a print of it too!

Mediums: Graphite/Pencils, Pigment Liners (Inks), Sharpies/Markers (Colors and Inks), Colored Pencils (Colors), Watercolors (Colors), Acrylics (Colors), Gouache (Colors), Pastels (Colors).

On full-color pieces I tend to go with whatever medium(s) serve the piece best, unless the commissioner has something specific in mind. If you have a specific medium in mind, then please tell me!

Details: I’ll draw for any fandom/series, even ones I am not familiar with, as long as I can find a reference for it. If you have an original character you would like me to draw - I can do that too. I just need a written or drawn reference to work from. Don’t be shy if you want something specific for your commission, please tell me!

NSFW Art: I will draw nsfw/pornographic art, though I will reserve my right to refuse some prompts, sorry. Talk to me about it if you have something in mind.

Simply click the PayPal button at the side of this blog and go through the instructions there.

If you already have a PayPal account and can send payments from there, my email is afuess@ymail.com.

I’ll begin work on your piece once I check and see that the money is deposited (I’d appreciate it if you’d tell me when you do so I know when to check). If you would like - I can update you with progress shots to let you know I’m working on it/where I am with the piece. Just let me know! I will keep your commission statuses updated at the side of the blog.

Bonus Commission Tags! I didn’t get to scan in all of them, but these were little tags I included with contact info and such in each commission/print envelope. I originally wasn’t going to post them, but I actually really like how some of them looked (I gotta draw Baby Tooth more often!), so I figured “why not.”

Everyone has gotten things by now (I hope) so I figured I could...

windatyourfeels — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 00:04:32 -0400

Jack Frost Commission

Black Widow and Hawkeye Commission

The Client wanted herself in a romantic(?) setting with Prince Zuko from A:TLA.

Everyone has gotten things by now (I hope) so I figured I could post these now. These were the last of the Genericon Commissions that I sent out. These were generally the ones I would refer to as “pencil” commissions (limited color, graphite, no ink).

Thanks again to everyone who commissioned me! I’m working on improving my skills so I can give you guys even better stuff soon!

Small Announcement

windatyourfeels — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 02:42:00 -0400

No longer making any music posts on this blog since it makes it more confusing and cluttered. If you’re interested in my favorite music to draw by, it’s over here now.

All All Commissions and Prints from Genericon have been sent out by now!

windatyourfeels — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:11:50 -0400

If you got a commission/print order from me at Genericon last month and you haven’t received it yet - then check your mail this week! If you don’t get it in a few days, contact me either at:

fuesaj58@suny.oneonta.edu

or text me at

315-380-6835

If you know someone who got a commission or print there (I know not everyone has tumblr) and they haven’t received it yet, then have them contact me (assuming they got a comm/print from ME). I tried to contact everyone I could via email or text, and to my knowledge there was only one person whose email/phone number I didn’t get.

That should be all, thank you all again for making Genericon a great experience!
