RoboSquid

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that I have a Twitter you can follow if you haven't already:
twitter.com/RoboSquidDA

I've been pretty active there for a while.  You can find art and sketches that I haven't posted here, ranging from rough to polished, serious to funny, as well as some of those wacky quips that I call humor.

As for here, I haven't abandoned DeviantART, at least I don't think.  I've just neglected to post as often as I used to for some reason.  I'll likely post art from my Twitter to here in an art dump at the end of the year, and then try to post on here more after that.

But yeah, I've been more active on Twitter these days.  Give a follow if you want!

Technically July marks the halfway point, but I've waited on this long enough and, seeing as nothing has happened against me yet, feels like a better time than ever to make it.
Last year I made a bit of a big stink about how life wasn't going so great, and how it got a bit better a few weeks later.  To be honest, it wasn't that much better at that point either.
In fact, let me just say that 2017 was quite possibly the worst year I have ever experienced in my life thus far.  Literally all throughout the year there were constant bumps that kept bringing us down.  Bills weren't being payed and were significantly building up, things kept getting shut off, general inconvenient and interpersonal problems were rife, and I found out something that admittedly made some things make sense, but I refuse to divulge it here.  In general, it was just an unhappy and frustrating mess.
To make an already long story short, our house ended up getting foreclosed on in November, and we had to leave.  Due to even more poor choices and trusting the wrong people, it's really a miracle that we even managed to find a new place to live in the end.  I guess connections with people really do make a difference.
Which brings us to the present.  We've been living at our new place since early December, and I finally got a job back in February. Money worries are gone (for the most part at least) and bills are back on track and I ENSURE to keep it that way.  We're all generally better off and doing well now, and I actually feel happier as a result.  Are things perfect?  Well, nothing really IS perfect.  But I can say for certain that so far this year has been a giant leap upwards from the disaster of 2017, and I hope it continues like that.
I guess I'm telling you all this because I feel I owe you a bigger explanation in regards to my vagueness and secrecy in that other journal, and keeping it to myself after that is like a giant tacky curtain.  I'm sorry for that vagueness and I'm sorry if I caused any worry, but things just became too critical that I couldn't bottle it up any further and had to vent, but at the same time I tried to keep it as minimum as possible because I'm just not used to talking about my personal life and woes.  But what's done is done, so let me reassure you and reiterate that things are indeed better, and I hope to go up from here in the long run.  And if life throws another curve ball my way...well that would just suck, wouldn't it?

Please read through everything.

Okay, so we aren't doing so hot over here, especially financially. I'd really like to bring some sort of money in during my job-hunting state and store it for when we can really use it. It might end up not being much, but at least it's something. That's why I'm opening up these basic commissions.

Basic commissions are self-explanatory; pay for either a bust or fullbody drawing of a character of your choice. There honestly isn't much variety here, but that's intended. These specific choices are relatively simple and fast to do, meaning I can take on many at a time, as well as get it to you in a short time and not worry about anything going wrong on my end were life to intervene once again.

Basic commissions are come one, come all. I don't have a limit to how many I'm accepting (Unless I happen to run into a problem down the line, at which point I'll announce), so feel free to come in whenever you can.



Procedures and Rules:

• If you want a commission, note me regarding so as well as the information (What you want, what character(s), any poses or extra details, etc.). I will put your details down and add you to a slot.
• When I am ready to move onto yours, I'll let you know.
• I will ask for payment when I finish the commission, at which point I'll link my PayPal so you can provide the money and then receive the finished product. You will not get your commission until I receive payment.
• If at anytime during the process you no longer want the commission, please let me know and I'll cancel it.
• You're free to post the commission up elsewhere, but I ask that you credit me if doing so. I reserve the right to post them on my own if I want.
• Things I will not do include real life people, copyright media, and NSFW. I'm pretty much open to everything else, though I still have the right to deny if it comes up. If you're not sure about something then let me know.
• PayPal only. Please do not commission if you cannot provide money through PayPal.
