I will do both original characters and fanart. A reference picture would also be recommended over a typed description. I don't care how bad it is just give me something to work with! 8D

Please understand that I am also enrolled in college but I will email/post mile stones to assure you that your work is being drawn. If you are interested please note me and we can discuss what you want

ALSO: Please please please don't comment saying I'd love a commission but I don't have the money for it right now. I'm not trying to be mean but this is strictly for people who are seriously interested in a commission. I appreciate your support.

EDIT: WOW! I didn't think I'd be getting so much so quickly! Bless you all! Once the ten slots are filled I won't be taking anymore until I've finished all of them. You can still request a commission but just know that you won't be put up on the list until I've finished the ten.

Bless you all and thank you for your support! <3

NEW!!

My paypal account has finally been set up/confirmed and I have decided how I'm going to do things. Firstly I am very flexible with payment with this being my first time doing commissions I am going to be doing this out of trust.

When I have finished with your picture(s) I will ask for payment via through paypal (I will send you a message when I am finished) Once I have received the funds through Paypal I will email you the full pictures. If you have any other special requests or problems regarding this policy send me a message and I will be happy to work something out.

EDIT: Well all slots are filled now!! Thank you everyone for your support!! (Especially Perdi because without her I wouldn't have gotten business from all you wonderful people!)

Minor updates just to prove that I'm not dead. College has been kicking my ass as of late especially when it comes to Intermediate 3D modeling and Literature.

I think just being remembered says more than what we receive. Even if someone wishes you a Merry Christmas or sends you a card I think that does more for a person when they are remembered by loved ones and friends on the holidays =3

Comissions Update! Please read!
Irving
[info]aquasnake08
Hello everyone,

Due to the extreme workload I have this quarter between Animation, Modeling, and Texturing I am posting to say that Commissions are on a temporary hiatus. I didn't want to do this however with everything going on my attention must be devoted to other projects right now.

I will try to get some work done over the long thanksgiving weekend if I have the time for it, if not I will be sure to start up on work again over the winter break (I have three weeks of doing nothing at that time so I will most assuredly get them done by then) I thank you all for your continuing patience and support.

If you absolutely positively need it by a certain date please drop me a line, I know a couple of things were supposed to be gifts for friends so if you ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE IT by a certain time please PM me and I will try to work something in.

Once again I am very sorry but college is pretty much my life right now @.@

Thank you all for your continued support and patience, it really means a lot to me!

IT'S ONLY WEEK ONE D8
Irving
[info]aquasnake08
Homg I knew this quarter was going to suck but it is only now that I realize how much it does.

I have 3 of my core classes this quarter + one general and I'm only on day four of week one. I already feel like ripping my hair out.

- Advanced 3D Modeling -

Granted this class hasn't been bad YET...however I have two models I have to complete on week 5. One of which is an old WWI British Nighthawk which honestly doesn't seem so bad but we'll see how it all goes. Another is a product that someone else wants me to model however I don't know what that is yet.

The thing that has me worried is what's called our 9th level review. In it we have to show examples of what we have worked on through our year. Included are 2 best illustrations, 2 best models (which shouldn't be a problem, I have an idea for one at least) and 2 animations. The animations present a problem since I've only had ONE CLASS that relates to animation and that was my INTRO to 2D class...and I've been told they don't want to see that.

So essentially that means I have to come up with two. One I'll probably use from my intro to 3D class but another is a Flash that I'm trying to do on my own (and failing miserably)...better than nothing I suppose.

-Lighting and Materials-

This class isn't bad, it essentially has to do with unwrapping and texturing the 3D models we did in our Intermediate Modeling class. This is the fun part in my opinion. So I'm actually kind of looking forward to doing this. I'll probably be able to put the textured models in my 9th level review to 8D

-Intro to 3D Animation-

URGGGHHH. URRRGGGHHHHHHHHH. This class is such a pain for me. I hate using 3Ds Max, it's frustrating to because it won't let me undo the changes I make to one of the objects when animating. So if I screw up big time I have to essentially re-open the file. Which happens...A LOT and I don't save that often. *Sigh* Hopefully I'll come out of this alive

-Contemporary Art-

The gen ed I have. I've had the teacher for art history before and she's a down right pain in the ass. She gets overly emotional and doesn't enjoy doing her job...or perhaps enjoys it too much. Blegh...hopefully it won't be too bad. Art History was a PAIN.


Needless to say, I'm going to be swamped with work for a while. To all those waiting on commissios I'm going to have to ask you to be a little more patient as I'm not really able to work on them right now. 8< Sorry guys, I didn't anticipate it was going to be THIS bad.

I hope I can get through this quarter without suffering a mental break down. X.X

SQUEE aka I HAVE AWESOME FRIENDS
Irving
[info]aquasnake08
In case you all didn't know, my friends are awesome....

I got a package today from [info]madrhapsody consisting of wonderful swag she bought me at comic con along with two items from her personal stash.

1. TOS Kirk and Spock figures (Woo!! more to put on my shelf 8D now Nero won't be so lonely up there with all the Heroes guys)

2. 3 Star Trek comics + a Metal Gear Solid Comic = <3 this chick knows me

3. Her copy of Grandia II, now I just gotta find the time to play the stupid thing.

4. An especially lovely and touching card she wrote in and her 'lucky' card which she gave me. Bless Mel!! <333

I love that girl soooo so much! We're like sisters despite the fact we live thousands of miles away. God Bless and thank you honeyy!!

*Goes back to work on Commissions*

EDIT: Found hidden away in the Grandia case in a little black back- a silver necklace of an N with faux diamonds 8D 8D 8D it's always the little things in life that make you the happiest <3

Finals are over. Now I get a week to rest/work on commissions.

I'm rather proud of how my phaser came out, this is just the occlusion pass render. Color/Texture will be added in my next class Materials and Lighting 8D




Reference- http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/blueprints/fts/page103.jpg

EDIT: Holy hell that thing was huge...just click the link to see the reference D8

Not bad considering I didn't really have a front view reference...and that it was impossible to find one from the show! D8 Fun to do though, just need to fix a couple of things.

Oh well, back to work 8)

Finals again D8
Irving
[info]aquasnake08
Ugghh Finals suck, they basically cause me to become a hermit for about a week or so.

To those waiting on commissions fret not I haven't forgotten about you, I've just been backlogged with class work. But the good news is I get a week off after so I should start finishing some of them up soon! <3

For my Intermediate 3D modeling class I modeled a Romulan Phaser/Disruptor. Came out pretty nice, but I still think my friend [info]miss_ho's phaser came out nicer 8D Now hopefully mine is acceptable in terms of detail because I honestly don't know what else to do with it. Just gotta render it.

My environmental science project is the one that's giving me the most trouble. I got a storyboard to do and write a 3 page paper all by monday. FML...I totally don't wanna do it D8

Lit I pretty much have to throw a book together of five poems+ a statement...bought a cheap notebook at target that i'll just cover with some leftover fabric we have laying around. Just need to write two more poems + the statement.

Ugh why did we switch over to digital tv?! Superior my ass, I can't even get channel 9 or 11 up here which are the two channels that provide me with my fall shows!! Bought a new antennae to see if it would work...but I can't hook it up since I can't get a screw loose to connect the stupid thing.

Better get it to work by Monday, Heroes comes back on....though I honestly don't know if I'm going to get back into it, season 3 left a terrible taste in my mouth =/ Oh well, least I have House to look forward to.

Can't I just time travel to a week in the future when all this will be said and done? *Headdesk*

I <3 my friends
Irving
[info]aquasnake08
Uggghhh when can school be done yet?! So much to do and so little time to do it!! Ugh, I thank you all for your patience on the commissions. I'm getting them done little by little at a time, come my week off between quarters I should really be making headway! Bless you all again <3

Today was fun, got to get out of the house a bit an attend the State Fair but it was also a little sad seeing as how my good friend had to go back to college (I MISS U ALREADY BB!). But before she went she made this awesome little thing for me!! 8D




IT'S BONES!! <333 I couldn't decide between the original doctor or the nu!Trek one, but seeing as how she made nu!Kirk I had to go with the nu!Bones so as to have the trio of awesome. She made Spock to but he wasn't finished yet when she was over 8<

THANK U SO MUCH NICKI!! WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW AWESOME THIS IS!!

Blarg I need to be writing that paper...hopefully my stomach doesn't hate me tomorrow for gorging today 8/

Vacation Time!!
Irving
[info]aquasnake08
OOH YEAAHHH I DON'T HAVE TO WORK FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK AND I GET PAID!! God bless you Paid Vacation time.

This will give me much needed time to just sit and work on projects and commissions and I don't have to deal with the people at my work. I was getting a little sick of work anyway, so a break is just what I needed.

Unfortunately I've been having trouble accessing my bank account online to see my bank statements in order to confirm that the paypal info is correct. So I'm going to have to talk to them tomorrow after class...bollocks 8/

Those who ordered commissions don't worry, I'm still chipping away at the to do list. However college decided to be a whore and tack on a bunch of drawing assignments two days after. *SIGH* I'll have to finish those first, but I'll work on stuff when I have downtime. I'm not going to ask for payments until I have everything sketched out and how we can do it we can discuss through the message system.

Again thank you all and a big thank you to [info]perdiccas for bringing me the much needed business. Bless her heart!

In other news my birthday was relatively awesome, except for the small fact that the tornado sirens went off midway through the party and we all had to huddle down in the basement for about an hour and a half. Couldn't go swimming like I had planned either *Sigh*

But it was still awesome, we played a lot of Xbox, I'm starting to really like the game Worms thanks to it! Thinking of buying it for myself. I got some sweet loot to-

$65.00 in money/gift certificates. Will probably put that to use in buying the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series. (Why must you be so expensive DVDs?!)

A communicator keychain from TOS that lights up/recites quotes from the original series when I press a button. (Thank you Lan and Masha! <33) I want to pimp it so bad, but I'm afraid to put it on my keys since my keychains have a habit of falling off/getting lost without me noticing 8<

Nero figure from Star Trek XI. Thank you Danni, now I have another thing that will judge me/ try to kill me in my sleep. He's sitting up on my shelf right next to Sylar. hmmm... dunno if that's really a good mix. (Seriously though, I love it <3)

Final Fantasy Tactics for PSP- Thanks Jose!! Might be a while before I get to play it though =(

Earth Defense Force 2014 for Xbox360 (YOU SHOOT GIANT ANTS WITH B.F.G.'S WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?! 8D) + 15.00 down for Left 4 Dead 2. Thank you Ben!!


Well, off to hunker down and work work work! (But this time it'll be something I actually ENJOY doing)

"Cant you see I'm being decidedly UN-FABULOUS right now?!"
[info]aquasnake08
^ Thought you might appreciate that Nicki 8B

Ugh yeah, mediocre week is mediocre.

I've been feeling rather apathetic these past couple of days, which isn't honestly like me. I feel bitter about certain things while full of does not care for others. I suppose the fact that things keep going wrong doesn't help much. Also I can't seem to draw anything to save my life anymore 8/

I tried to make some leeway on the latest 3D Modeling project I was assigned today and ultimately wound up spending 3 hours doing NOTHING. My goal was to at least get two chairs modeled for our architecture project by tomorrow seeing as how I don't have the bloody program at home (again) I decided to stay after my morning class and sit and model before I had to go to work.

The program crashed twice because apparently the computers we have at our school can't handle the program. way to go. So I got the basic shape of it modeled but it was all crooked and I couldn't make the right adjustments without screwing something up...after 3 hours I said eff it and deleted the damn thing 8/ Soooo I made one of the cabnets which took about 5 minutes. FML.

Yesterday was kind of a crap day to but [info]nielrian made it so much better by coming over to my house and watching both "The Wrath of Khan" and "The Road To ElDorado" with me. We were in hysterics. Thanks hon! We have to get together again sooooon! I wish I could find "Super Troopers" though!!

Eff..I don't wanna work today ;_;

Hooray of course shit goes wrong when I'm left alone in the house for two weeks!!

So a couple days ago I noticed that the pool level dropped quite a bit, which was rather odd as I've never seen it do that before. I jumped to conclusions such as "Must have evaporated" and "Maybe the storm blew it out"

I put the hose in to refill the stupid thing when a couple hours later my neighbor behind me comes to the door informing me that water is spurting out from one of the hoses connected to the system. Turns out the stupid thing had a hole in it and in turn was the reason the water level dropped so suddenly.

Bless the guy for informing me and offering to fix it, I'll have to send him a thank you + rembursement for going to buy the part.

Tried getting ahold of my parents but they're not answering. Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow... it's too dark to deal with it at this point.

Why does this stuff always/only happen when I'm left in charge? 8/

FML Letter to Self
Irving
[info]aquasnake08
Dear Self,

Why did you think it was a good idea to buy coffee from a chain that has made you sick twice in the past? When you thought that maybe it was just the kind of drink you got that was making you sick? That you did this when you had work right after class? That said decision caused you to double over in pain from nausea and nearly throw up at your register thus causing you to miss out on yet another shift in a month? Good going.

No love,

Me.

PS- STOP STAYING UP AT UNGODLY HOURS OF THE NIGHT AND GETTING ONLY 3-4 HOURS OF SLEEP KNOWING DAMN WELL YOU CAN'T KEEP THIS UP.

Urgh Balls, I don't know what it is about this particular brand of coffee that makes me so ill? I've never had problems with it before in the past, it's now only recently that it's started making me sick...that combined with a nasty bug that's going around school which I probably caught since people don't have the decency to COVER THEIR BLOODY MOUTHS!!

I hope it's just a one day thing, I get super weary about having to take off from work or having to call in sick since my boss doesn't look too kindly upon it and that we should be working for the greater good of the company blah blah blah...plus if we take too many absences we get the book thrown at us.

This is only the second time (At least so I think) I've had to leave early because I was so ill I couldn't work. I love my job, I do (save for some people who make it difficult) and I try not to. But the last time I had to leave because I was sick was last month so I'm hoping I don't get nailed too hard.

I suppose it might be my screwy sleep schedule to...I haven't been sleeping much and having to wake up early and stay awake for the majority of the day (nearly 24 hours at times) yuck... well I've napped all day and feel a little better than I initially did so I'm going to try to get to sleep at a more reasonable time tonight.

Oiii I am SO not ready to go back to school...I didn't even do anything remotely productive over the break other than write horrible fic.

MEANWHILE-


Your result for Roleplayer Test!...

The Soap Opera Star

Plotful, Character-Oriented, Sexual

You're the Soap Opera Star, the center of a massive web of characters -- and more importantly, character relationships. You roleplay mainly for character dynamics, and romantic character dynamics at that: if you didn't start playing with a ship in mind, you're definitely shipping now that you're playing. But it's not random relationships that appeal to you. You like your plots! It's just that most or all of them are personal in nature and revolve around either getting characters together or developing relationships once they've formed. But if given a plot like that, you're a determined, reliable RP partner. However, of all roleplayers, you're likely to be the ones most emotionally attached to your character and to fall in RP-love with the players of your ships.

I suppose that's accurate, I like character and relational development and it has to make sense plotwise for the most part. And yes I am guilty of this...8B

[info]aquasnake08
Yarrr it's so nice to relax and not have to worry about any big projects due...but at the same time I feel things are becoming a little stagnant and I only have a year left of college. I wish my USB drive wasn't stolen, I had a lot of stuff I wanted to use for a final portfolio 8< oh well, still figuring things out.

So I went to go visit my friend who is in prison today for the first time. At least I went up there which was about an hour and a half of driving. Of course they have security measures in place for when you visit people so we had to go through a metal detector.

I made sure that I took off all my jewelry, wore plain clothes and didn't bring my wallet and cell phone. So I thought I was pretty good, my two friends who were with me pass through no problem and then I go through and it goes off. So I'm pretty much like 'well what the hell?' I took off my shoes and tried again but it beeped.

The guard calls me over saying that I must have an underwire bra on (Which at the time I had no idea what the hell that even meant) so he hands me a pair of nail clippers to try and get it out. Again I had no idea what to do with them so I'm standing in the bathroom trying to figure out what the hell to do. Eventually my two friends came in and tried to help me remove the wires, shame the clippers were next to useless and dull as hell. So after twenty minutes of trying my friend Danni gets the idea to switch bras seeing as how she saw him once already. She gave me hers and I gave her mine and tried again. But it still went off!

Ultimately we couldn't get the wires out and we had to wait in the car for two hours while my other friend visited with him. I felt bad that I wasn't able to see him 8< But now that we know what's wrong hopefully the next time we see him I'll be able to.

So aside from that I haven't been doing too bad, I haven't really done much artwise unfortunately (Burnout much?) but I've gotten a bit of second wind when it comes to ficcing. I've been trying to write the rest of my entry for the Star Trek XI Kink meme 8D *Sick puppy* I'm having too much fun with it, srsly.

Gahhh what the hell? Really? Really? FML.

I was so looking forward to the next season and the show getting back on track. Vol 3 was an absolute MESS. Vol 4 was great, we were getting back to the bare essences of the show and next season looked so promising. Now it's probably going to wind up being another train wreck.
