=====+NEWS AND NOTES+=====
You know, ever since I moved into my apartment some 15 months ago now, I've just been horribly slacking on doing anything with this site. Maybe it's the stress of always having to eke out a living from month to month. Maybe it's having to work like, what seems to be all the time in a part-time job. Whatever it is, this little hideaway of mine on the internet has been suffering from some massive, serious neglect.
I have been doing a little bit of arting, but every time I get into it it feels like I'm trying to climb a mountain and I just go "fuck it". Shit my inbox has been suffering from months of neglect. I just cleaned out stuff that's been there since October for god's sake.
Truth be told, right now I'm not really doing all that well financially. It's stressing me the fuck out to the point where that's all I can possibly think about anymore, and most of the time I just sit home and can't get out of the rut. I've been trying to call more people to be social and stuff, with mixed degrees of success. Needless to say being out on my own has been absolutely nothing like I expected it to be, and all for the worse. I mean granted, I didn't have my head in the clouds and pretend everything was going to be ideal, but I had no idea shit was going to be this bad.
I got my tax return and I'm using it for a much-needed trip to Anime Boston. I could've saved it for some rent I guess, but I really need to do something to make myself happy for a bit, even if it does cost me a fuckton of money. I'd like to forget that I'm horribly fucked in terms of my financial situation, and it doesn't seem to be getting better in the future too. I've had interviews, been passed over for at-work opportunities, been ignored most of the time. It's sucked. Thankfully I'm getting a little bit of help from a pal of mine doing some work for him, which'll stay hush until I get the OK to say what.
I don't usually go off on life shit in these things. I hate to do it. I know no one really reads these things (and no one would unless I were, y'know, actually doing art and trying to make a niche out of that), but right now it's just a good vent I guess. It's why I've had 650+ deviations to look at, nearly 200 journals, and no money to throw at people doing commissions as much as I want to. Like, seriously. I really, really fucking want to support all you guys, even the ones I don't know, but I can't even support myself right now.
So yeah. Guess this is the thing that I'm wiping the Robot Rumpus request thing off the front page with. Depressing, but I just needed an outlet right now I guess. Not looking for ass-pats, just looking for an outlet, found it, and basically dumping whatever I'm feeling here at the moment.
To everybody, I'm so sorry to have neglected everything of yours. I'm interested, I just haven't commented or look like I've paid attention. I'm trying. :/

If it gets to that point, I'll try and post something for it around the time it's hit.
It'll probably take a gajillion years at this rate, BUT HEY! Update! :D
Robot Rumpus pt. 5!
Yeah I'm doing this again, guys!
So basically, I'm pretty simple for my wish list. I like Ice Man and Centaur Man quite a bit, but really, I'm down with any of the robot masters! I figure I'll leave this fairly open this year. As long as it has one of those two robot masters in it, I don't really care what you do! Just have a lot of fun with it and let your imagination go wild! :3
I do like the X and Zero series too, so if that's more up your alley, go for it too. :3
So yeah, like I said, go nuts! I'll work hard on a picture for my person! I hope this gives you enough freedom to do what you'd like.
Well...
I think it should probably go without saying at this point.
The last few years I've just...kind of lost interest entirely in this site. That's not to say I still pop on quite a bit here, but I just haven't felt nearly at all the same spark to draw and post up here, follow people, etc. that I used to have. It's just kinda become...not fun anymore. I don't think it's so much as getting old, but shifting priorities. I work a lot, and I really wanna just feel free to dabble in hobbies in my free time instead of putz around here and do things like I used to.
dA has also changed quite a bit. People have moved on, more people have taken it's place
Robot Rumpus pt. 4
=====+NEWS AND NOTES+=====
Because it's tradition for me to do this every year now. I love this little Secret Santa thingy and it always keeps me jolly. :3
I'm pretty much flexible with what you want to do, just make it a surprise! :3
I do enjoy silly, comedic pieces! I'm a fan of cartoony-looking things, but I'm non-judgemental on style. Do what works best for you! Also friendly things too, to keep with the Christmas spirit! Just have fun with it and as long as one (or more)of the characters I ask for is the focal point of the pic, feel free to include any characters I didn't ask about as well, if you need someone for background character

I'm always late when it comes to responding to DA stuff, because I've been neglecting my DA too :/
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that an awesome opportunity comes up for you and things get better. At least you were able to take a break from it all and go to AnimeBoston! Wish I could have been there ;___; I'm definitely trying for next year!! Hope I'll get to see you sometime. It's been so long!!
