I have SUPER GREAT NEWS!

I just finished filing for my 2014 taxes. And guess what? My commission money from last year didn't get taxed! Apparently I make so little at my job that I was waaaaay below the line for the point that I would have to possibly pay anything back to state or federal. And so that means... I'm going to be gearing up to try to re-open my RL commissions in February! I know a couple people asked about them, so I'm putting this out there to let you know! : )

(Oh my god, I'm so happy! I was so worried about paying taxes, since my sis-in-law warned me that taxes were a doozy on commission artists. But I guess because her family/husband makes a lot of money, that made the difference. Lmao, I make so little that I got exempt! It's kind of funny in a sad way. XD;;; )

Ahh, thank you so much! It has definitely been making me smile all day (among other things). Today has just been so great I have barely been able to stop grinning! I feel like 2015 is really starting to take a turn and I'm definitely going to make the most of it!

Yeah, it is kinda sad, but at least it saved me a lot more stress and hassle without having to pay the government large taxes on commission money. That's a really big weight off my shoulders and gave me free reign to open commissions this year without any worries whatsoever!

Thanks again and I'll do my best! : D

YOU HAVE UNTIL FEBRUARY. Lmao, nah, I'm kidding. I'm sure I'll have commissions open for most of the year, only taking breaks when I really need them.

There are a few people who reserved spots, but I have yet to see if they still want said spots or not. lol It's been awhile since I've had to leave people on hold. XD;;

I SECOND THIS IN ITS ENTIRETY

Waaaahhh, thanks, Azu! I'm definitely going to be saving up to get a commission from you!

Lol I understand, I go to an arts school, but that's great! I just wanted to pop in say that I love your artwork! I especially like the pieces of zelda and link on the first page. Keep on keepin' on!

Thank you so very much! I'm really honored that you enjoy it! I need to do more Link/Zelda fanart this year. The fandom is really great. : ) And I'll do my best, thank you!

Haha, my actual job isn't art-related. I make dough (from scratch), for a local pizza shop. And I make ALL the dough that the shop uses. However, since I live in the middle of nowhere, they don't sell a whole lot all the time. And so my hours depend on the amount of sales, as that's how much more dough I have to make. My hours are really terrible and they give me a lot of extra days off when sales are bad, but I can't complain too much, because it's a job. And having a job is something I'm thankful for, even if it's not a good one. lol Better than nothing at all!

Good luck with art school! I always wanted to go, but they cost sooooo much money.

Streaming Mario Kart 8 Monday Madness in about an hour! (8:30PM EST)

Stream will be here: http://www.twitch.tv/shiirahime

Feel free to come and race/watch the races! Should be a fair amount showing up tonight, and possibly even an appearance in the races by my RL little brother and possibly his girlfriend, too. (His work schedule is pretty crazy, though, since he's an EMT. So he said he "hopes" to make it.)

Gonna sneak this in here...

Art and final thumbnail for the "Summer" season in my Harvest Moon: Animal Parade Let's Play. Finished on Sunday. Features the protagonist (Molly) and the bachelor that was chosen by the viewers vote for the LP (Chase). Who also just happens to be my favorite, so I wasn't going to complain. Hehe.

Much happier with the results of this compared to the rushed thumbnail I made for the Spring season. At least it's good to know I'm working my way up in quality.

 

[azukitan]

Awwwwww, this picture brought a smile to my face. I adore everything about it <3

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey~

;alfjs;s Azu, you are too nice to me. ;-; I'm glad that you liked it, thank you! I find sunflowers and happy and I'm glad it could make you happy! (I also kind of associate them with the pairing, too, because of a certain fanfiction. As usual I am shipping trash. But sunflowers only grow in summer in-game, so it seemed appropriate. XD)

It's a sunny day today, too. : )

First finished (and full colored) art I've ever done of my mayor:

Chibi because chibi is cutes. Dress was a design by me. : ) Will be used as a reference for my mayor from now on. Pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Edit: Added a nose. I'm always torn between whether or not my chibi styles should have noses or not, but I think they look better with them, generally.

 

[Kairi-Kitten]

Oh my, the HM pic and both your mayor are vibrant and beautiful : ) But oh gosh, I do so love HM 8'D

Thanks so much! ;-; I'm really flattered that you think so. I'm trying to add some more flair to my coloring style this year and experimenting a bit more.

But oh gosh, I love HM too! Story of Seasons comes out in the next month or two, I think. Animal Parade is still my favorite, but A New Beginning was also amazing! I enjoyed Tale of Two Towns and Sunshine Islands for the DS, too. Which ones have you played? Do you have a favorite?

Well they turned out so gorgeous *_* You did a fab job ; )

Oh gawd haha I could go on about HM forever xD I actually had three marriage files on Animal Parade, I decided to start a brand new game to marry god knows who lol xD But the point of the matter I felt intrigued to start it again<3 And I must say A New Beginning is probably my favorite hehe, oh my Allen<3<3 And Amir as I still need to get with the prince huhu 8'D I also do love Animal Parade and my fave would always be Luke : D

Oh geez, I was sad when I found out my pre-order was expanded to a later date T_T I am terribly excited for SoS; so beyond everything I hope it will be an epic game as I absolutely love Xseed and the way they have localized : D

Overall my ultimate favorite is A New Beginning, just have this attachment to the style of gameplay and unlocking blueprints : )

Thanks a lot! I decided to put that image of my mayor into one of my sigs as a shipper. Hahahahaha XD

I have a file set aside for a different marriage, too. XD Either the Wizard or Gill... I can't quite decide. I'll probably try ALL of them, eventually. (But I ended up shipping Molly hardest with Chase. Angela I ship with Gill, so I'd probably have her marry him in another file. lol) And A New Beginning is definitely fantastic! Neil is a cutie and Allen is nice too, but I ended up going for Sanjay. XD I need to get back into it sometime so I can finish romancing him. (I'm hell-bent on getting a reverse proposal, so it'll be awhile.)

Yikes, I can imagine. D: I haven't preordered just yet. But I'm so glad they're still going to continue making the Harvest Moon titles, even if stupid Natsume took the rights to the name and is trying to use it to sell their Minecraft wannabe HM. :S I don't mind if XSeed changes the name, since it's not the name that makes the game. It's their wonderful localizations.

The blueprint addition was really fun! I genuinely enjoyed that, too, though I still can't understand how quickly they can build something. XD Hahaha. And man, I LOVE that you can finally customize characters and make lots of clothes, too! I'm sure both of those are bound to come back with Story of Seasons, along with new gameplay elements. I haven't let myself look at the bachelor and bachelorette lists for it yet. I want to be surprised. Hehe.

Ahhh, thank you! I'm glad you like her! I feel that pink is definitely her color, lol. Though I like blue for her, too.

Tale of Two Towns was great, though! I still need to finish it. I'm pretty sure I was romancing Cam for Lillian. I adore them together. X3
