I'm gonna a live stream tonight with my BESTI Coronadofwb and sister! Recently we've been playing Sims 4 with My Hero Academia characters. So far Momo and Shoto had a child (don't worry I'm not a serious shipper, they just seem so cute together, like Deku and Uraraka ). I don't know if any of you guys would be interested. It's okay if you hang or want to ask questions regarding art or game topics. Hope to see ya guys there. Let me know also if you have any Twitch or sims 4 tips too, since I'm new to all this > u < ;; . . .well not to The Sims franchise, but yeah lol

The stream will start between 10pm - 11pm EST . . . Let me know if there's a better time I should start etc.

UPDATE 5/7 : Sorry I didn't show up to the stream these past two nights, things came up. Going to realllly try tonight to be there. Let me know if you'll be there !

Does anybody know how they work? I've seen people sell them and they look like something really fun to do! I think they're set up where you can draw the character and do whatever with the design, but do not have rights in making profit (putting it on shirts, stickers, etc). Unless that's something I have to put into the transaction of I've also seen YCH (Which I think stands for "Your Character Here" ) have the same set up as well.

If you have a moment, check out some of my social feeds and give them a follow so you can be kept up to date on everything I produce :heart:.

I'm thinking of closing both accounts, especially my DannyPhantomAddict one. I will be archiving my pages so I can remind myself where I've come from, so it'll be a while till then if I do. DeviantArt is where I have met my best friend and others at. I don't think it's professional to keep this up where anybody can go back on your journals and see everything. I've read how people make fun of having a DA account in the professional field.

Thank You Steph and Kate for entrusting me in commissions and being the shining examples of patience and kindness. Kate I'm still so ashamed that even after two years wait for it, I still have not complete your commission request. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for everything!

I don't know what has happen to me over the years. I've lost the trust within myself to do anything in life or art wise. I've tried to just go and let the pen fly, but my brain kicks in saying "no-no-NO Wrong! composition is WRONG, poses are WRONG and it's lacking that energy". And my brain is not wrong, there are mistakes I can't deny. Especially with all my training I was taught at my university. I can't even compare my work and say "I've gotten better, don't sweat it, you're doing good", because that would be a lie. My art has not improve at all in these past five years, dare to say even more. Just gotten more timid and sketchy as I lose my trust.

Turning 33 this June and have yet to accomplish anything, no steady job, not even a personal business, only thing was a BFA. Which I read is just a liberal art degree, which makes it a pretty easy thing to accomplish especially at the age of 29. Nothing in the STEM field. I know this might come off as selfish, especially after the year we've had . . . I've just had many years before similar to this, so it's like double downing on the depression and anxiety after 2020. I've stopped buying things, going to conventions, or even hanging out with people because I didn't want to spend money I could be saving. My parents who work in the medical field, haven't had fun/relax in the past ten years. So me and my other siblings are trying our best to do what we are suppose to do . . .well . . . what we think . . .even though some people tell us we are just rationalizing it. Even recently my mom had to have emergency heart surgery, due to having what they call a "widow maker". I've tried since I was 18 to get a job, and every time I was either ignored, no reply or told I didn't have the experience. Maybe its my fault, maybe I haven't worked hard enough to accomplish anything.

I've tried to only post the positive journals, so not to annoy or depress any of you guys if you're going through your own struggles. Hint my previous submission where I was trying to hype myself on my newest favorite cartoon/anime Demon Slayer: KNY, My Hero Academia.

Hope and pray everyone has a wonderful day and thank you for taking the time to read this and leaving any suggestions or guidance if you're going through the same thing. I'm sorry if I've every disappoint you, ghosted or wronged you in anyway, never was my intention, but understand your annoyance with me.

And it's called DEMON SLAYER: KNY! :love:

Now I'm trying so hard to avoid the spoilers in the manga and watch the movie that came out in Japan back in October. . .

BOY I hope I can do some drawings of this show . . . already have a title for it . . . ."The Eldest Siblings"

Finally got a Cricut Maker! (three months ago actually) Now I don't know what to do, well I do- but more like production confusion xD .

I would love to do some commissions that involve mugs, shirts, stickers, metal tags, bags and even light-weight woods like balsa. There's so much that I can do with this thing, its quite impressive. *whispers to it in the corner still in a box* . . . i'm so sorry i have neglected your talents :c . . . *pats*

Been looking up videos for the past few months on how to print and cut out stickers. I think I got that handled, all I need is some designs .

Then I learned that could do salt water metal etching, since I can cut out a design in vinyl with my machine. I saw other ways, but they require some intense stuff. Like to stay away from chemicals that need to be ventilated if I can since I don't have a lot of space.

Still open for commissions for character drawings, logo designs, Twitch layout, YouTube layouts. I even know how to design paper products like pamphlets, flyers, banners, card, business cards etc.

If any of you have some tips or are intrested in commissioning me, drop me a message here or at my email: lauren80l@yahoo.com Please bare with me when it comes to prices, still trying to get what is a sustainable cost for time, equipment and products. On top of it, Its just me running this bushiness so far. *dreams of it becoming bigger*
