As of today, all art supplies are packed up and ready to be moved.  God knows the next time I will lay pencil or pen to paper, but when I do, the results will be posted here (assuming that they are results worth looking at).

Well, my cross-state move is rapidly approaching, and that means soon the art supplies will be going into a box and goodness only knows when they will come back out of the box.  Moving takes a TON of wind out of my artistic sails, and since I'll be back in school full time and (hopefully!) also working, I don't expect much art will be forthcoming for awhile after.

SO, if you're interested in a mini-commission from me, now is your last chance for the foreseeable future!  You can see examples of some that I've done recently in my Commissions & Art Trades folder here on DeviantArt.

Prices are as follows:

$5 for a black & white, one-character piece.  No (or extremely minimal) background.
Additional $3 for each additional character in the same pic.
Add another $5 for color.
Add another $5 if you want the original snail-mailed to you, instead of just a scan emailed to you (the original will be about 5 x 7 inches)

Email me or send me a note if you're interested!

I have a million and a half things I want to be drawing right now.  But the latest thing I've finished is a Kingdom Hearts 2 drawing that I sketched in 2007, then put away until now, when I was suddenly inspired to finish it: Sora in Master Form, to finish up the set (already drew Valor, Wisdom and Final back in 2007).  HOWEVER... I need to do some tweaks to Valor Form's border in order to make the set truly complete.  That is probably my next project.  Happy 10 year anniversary, Kingdom Hearts... I love you like whoa.

Other things I want to be working on include (but are not limited to): the epic Pigs in Space poster, my half of a Muppety art trade, Harry Potter Tarot Cards, X-Files fan art, etc, etc, etc.....  on the plus side, it's good to be inspired.  On the downside, I'm supposed to call in to work in 3 hours to see if I have clients, and I haven't gone to bed.  Uh... maybe I should attempt to sleep instead of drawing fan art for a half-decade old game.  :B

Dude, this "April Fools" cat propaganda is unbelievably annoying.  Maybe I'm just a humorless wretch, but I'm glad there's a way to disable it.  Color me unamused, DevArt.

In other news, I am still accepting mini-commissions, starting at $10 for a B&W piece, prices going up from there.  Shoot me a note if you're interested!

So, I've just posted a new Pigs in Space work-in-progress sketch in my scrapbook, and I'm desperate for constructive feedback/criticism/suggestions/thoughts/etc. Even if you're not a Muppet fan, even if you don't even know what "Pigs in Space" is, if you love me at all, PLEASE, take a look at it and help an artist out.  Thankies!

Also, reminder: still accepting commissions!  See the previous journal entry for details.

So, I have a bunch of goats that I need to have transported a few hundred miles. Since my petty cash fund is quite low at the moment, I've decided to try taking on commissions for a bit to see if I can raise the money needed to move some sweet retired dairy goats to their new home at a sanctuary.  
Usually I only do full-on big fancy commissioned pieces for $100+, but I know that's not very realistic in this economy.  So, I'm trying out the "bargain bucket" style, and instead will be offering mini, quick little commissions.  Here's what I'm thinking:

$5 for a black & white, one-character piece.  No (or extremely minimal) background.
Additional $3 for each additional character in the same pic.
Add another $5 for color.
Add another $5 if you want the original snail-mailed to you, instead of just a scan emailed to you (the original will be about 5 x 7 inches)

Of course, if you want a larger, more detailed (and thus more expensive) commission, contact me and we can talk about it.

Interested?  Wanna help me rescue some sweet goats in need of retirement?  Want some cheap art?  Email me!  Nasubionna@gmail.com

New Muppet fan art added to the scrapbook, since it's a little too quick and sloppy to really count as a real finished piece, in my opinion.... but still, twas super fun to draw.  Can't... stop.... Muppets... fan art.... and I'm glad!

So, I've made myself a Tumblr, since that seems to be a good place to post new art.  You can check it out or even follow me here:  [link]
I've got some more Muppets fan art in the pipeline that will hopefully be posted soon.  But kidding season has just started at the dairy, so if I get too busy that might hamper the art production.  We shall see if I have enough manic Muppet energy to keep drawing anyway instead of just coming home and falling asleep in front of a movie, haha....

Added my goat Christmas card for 2011, featuring the late, great Nefertete, who passed away this year.  She was the most gorgeous and dignified goat I've ever known, and I miss her greatly.  :(

On a happier note, I LOVED the latest Muppet movie and it got me all inspired to do fan art.  :B  In searching around the web for Muppet fan art, I noticed that there is (and rightly so) a ton of sultry Miss Piggy fan art.  It made me want to show Link Hogthrob some fan art love, because he's one of my favorite Muppets and is basically the male equivalent to Piggy in many ways (handsome, egotistical, snappy dresser... but unlike Miss Piggy, Link is pretty dense, lol....)  I loved that he had his first speaking/singing part in a Muppet feature since Jim Henson's tragic passing.  LOVED IT.  Now, if they did new "Pigs in Space" sketches, my life would be complete.  I think I shall try to do some Pigs in Space fan art next.  :B

So, I got my 'Drink Goat Milk' illustration professionally scanned, and it's now available on DeviantArt prints!  I ordered a 20 x 30 inch one (holy crap, it's bigger than I thought, lol...) to check the quality myself, and it arrived yesterday.  I can confidently say it looks awesome, even at that giant size!  So, if you're hankerin' for a poster or print of that picture, order with confidence!  :D

Well, back in the art saddle with a little sketch of Sark that matches the ones of Tron and Yori from way back when.  Posted it to the scrapbook.  
Here's hoping I stay in the saddle for some time and make some art worth looking at!  I'm trying my best.

Added two super-old Disney-themed sketches to the scrapbook.  I have just moved, and so have not been drawing for quite some time.  Have a sweet new set up, now that I'm settling in, though, so it would be nice to start drawing again sometime this century.  Bleh.

Man, so much for updating on a regular basis!  Well, I'm in school full time so art has been minimal, but there you go.  I am slated to graduate in Feb, so we'll see!

Well, kidding season is pretty much wrapped up, and I have a new place in which to do art.  I am very, very happy about this.

To celebrate, I have added my first art in like, 5 months, one that I have been working on since December.  I am very pleased to have finished it.  RIP, Kandi and Vanilla Bean.

Hopefully more to follow, and sooner than half a year later...

OK, so now kidding season is in full swing and I lost my studio space, so commissions are now closed again!!  Hope to do 'em again in a few months...  we'll just see what happens.  :B
Added a new scrap of Janine and Egon.  That is all.

OK, so apparently I lied.  Some unspeakable force (called "obsessive nerdiness") conspired to aid me in the creation of another drawing, despite having pretty much zero tools but a pencil, an eraser, and two black outliner pens.  With those items I added a little 'Real Ghostbusters' line drawing to the 'scraps' section.  Hopefully I'll color it when I get my markers back in November.  But in the meantime, if anybody else wants to color it, lemmie know before August 12 - I can email you a larger file.  As long as the line art is credited to me, it's all good.

So, I guess this teaches me to sign off before literally walking out the door.  Who knows, maybe I'll squeeze out another drawing before August 12....

Well, this is it for a few more months... got two more Ghostbusters calendar pin ups uploaded, but poor Winston's didn't get finished before I had to pack everything up and put it in storage (he always gets dissed, doesn't he?)  Hopefully I'll post him (and maybe more GB art) when I get settled again... but that won't happen until November at the earliest.  Sorry!

Hopefully see you near the end of the year....
