I lost my best friend/ making up some cash

Wed Sep 2, 2009, 2:40 PM

September 2nd - I'm having a hard time figuring out how it got to be September already. I don't know what happened to the summer. Frankly, it sucked so much that I'm glad to be rid of it though.

Still taking on commissions (see info below) and still have stuff up on Ebay (again, see below). We've also updated Mythos Mixtures with our Halloween/Fall scents (FYI Angelitos is still - to this day - our most popular scent ever). Check it out:

August 24th - I just wanted to thank everyone for all the love and support regarding our loss. I am still having a difficult time and just trying to work my way through the grief process. I am just taking it moment by moment.

I have been unable to draw - it has proven far less carthartic than I thought it would be. I apologize to anyone waiting on art from me, I will get back to it as soon as I am able to do so. David and I are selling things on Ebay again. Currently, we have some games and anime up and we may or may not add things over the next week as we sort through other offerings. You can find me at ebay under username briannedahlin - here is my link:

I also have a large list of new and gently used cosmetics items from all sorts of brands - Urban Decay, Stila, MAC, Bare Escentuals and lots more. If that sort of thing interests you, please let me know and I'd be glad to direct you to my listing of items.

August 20th - We had to put down our dachshund Logan tonight. He had been getting quite ill and at 11 years old, we did not have any other options other than to help him at least not suffer.

I have not been so sad that I can remember of. I feel a heavy feeling in my stomach and my heart just feels sick. He was my baby and my best friend, and my life will not be the same without him. RIP Logan, we love you.

Despite our emotional suffering, we have to unfortunately take a realistic look at our financial issue. As I had been posting, we needed the money. Tonight, we spent the last of our money on Logan. We need to make up for what we spent and so on top of taking commissions (begging for them really) I will be offering our Wii and all the games for it for sale. We have not discussed whether it will be offered here or on Ebay. I will post more on it when I am feeling like taking a look at it.

Updates:
August 19th - Had to take the cat to the vet this week so we still need the money pretty bad. Still taking these on, and will take on coloring jobs as well! It's $15 for most coloring jobs, unless it has a TON of detail or more than 2 characters.

(PS I'm also deleting a lot of my old DA journals as it's just too cluttered at this point and there is no reason for it to be. Sometime in the next month I'll also be deleting really old artwork from my gallery).

August 7th -
Thanks for all the well wishing and support you guys! We got lucky and were able to borrow most of the money we needed to pay off our property tax (which was earning interest every single day). The property tax is paid, but obviously, we're now in the position of needing to make that money back (not to mention that this week our microwave broke to top it all off). Because of that, I'm still taking on (read: need) some commissions.

I can only accept Paypal, and I do need payment in full and upfront.

I am accepting (please note that I just am not that comfortable skill-wise with anthro stuff. I'm always willing to try but there's no telling what the results will be lol):

Full resolution character portrait with background - $35

Full body character sketch (no background, loose lines, no color) - $11

Icon (300x300 picture and 100x100 version with simple blink animation) - $11

Mini (200x600 image with simple bg) - $22

Single character, full body with background (full resolution) - $100

If there is a type of commission you'd like to see but isn't listed here, please let me know

Now, I know a lot of you people out there are very generous and sweet and I appreciate that so much. You guys have always been there for me and it's been a real blessing. That being said, however, I would appreciate if the only money I received were for work. I would like to earn the money I get towards this, so if you'd like to help - let me draw for you!

Secondly, I just genuinely want people to know that I'm not trying to be a drag here. I'm a very lucky person who is blessed with awesome friends, an amazing husband and a life full of happiness. Like many others though, we've hit a bit of a bad spot and we're just trying to find our way out. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and sweet during this time. Every kind word has helped. Love you guys!!
