Wow it's been over a year since my last journal. Well long story short I neglected this account over another account (not on DA) and I was getting way better business and experience over there so yeah, I didn't feel the need to return to this account until recently. =w=

For those who just stumbled upon me recently hi there my name's Clawshawt! 8D I've become more known to be a furry artist lately but I draw all sorts of different things I just don't always post them up. 

My apologies to those who have been wondering where I've been! I'm still around just not on DA as much anymore. 

I've finally graduated college and I'm expecting my degree in the mail real soon. ^_^

I'll hopefully be working at this part time job for the time being until I can get a gig for animation or what have you. 

For any personal projects or practice work I'll be posting it here. Be it finished or unfinished I want to fill my gallery with more variety!


Also my birthday is coming up a week from tomorrow, gonna be old as a dinosaur. QwQ Seriously where has the time gone??


I'll try to reply to comments again as best I can but I still get quite a lot (shockingly) so please don't feel bad if I haven't replied to you yet. ;n;



Thank you for reading! Peace out~ <3

I've kinda been everywhere but here. TuT I don't think anyone reads my journals but if you're wondering what I've been up to, you should read this time. If you want~

It's just a weird cycle I go through where I'll be super active on DA then suddenly disappear from it. I don't mean to, it just happens with me sometimes. ;A;

I want to apologize for being absent this whole time. Those of you who have shown me kindness and gave me constructive feedback are truly wonderful people! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! ;u;

I think what makes me shy away from DA lately is the continuous changes to the layout and the messages I get can be overwhelming. I feel really bad when I don't reply but believe me when I say I do read them and I highly appreciate the support. ;u;

Also now that I have quite a few accounts on different websites, it's really challenging for me to keep up with each of them. @.@ Hats off to anyone who manages all your accounts successfully. 


Other than that, classes were killer this semester! >~< I'm ecstatic I passed my Ethics class with a B! I was struggling because there was a lot of writing involved. So, sick, of papers. >8(

Character Design has kept my hands tied as well. It was a lot of work but I really enjoyed it. =) The Fluttershy character sheets I posted is an example of one of our assignments. I'm not gonna post all of them because some of the work I did I'm not really that proud of. XD

Me and :iconkafae-latte: also had this Advanced Animation class that was, well.... it was bad. |'D I think the idea of the semester long project wasn't so bad, but because we had very few staff members that aren't experienced in animation (or can't draw squat) it slowed things down immensely. It also was extremely worrying when one of our classmates disappeared off the face of the earth. No joke. She no longer was active on Facebook, she didn't answer her phone, she stopped attending her other classes, and her parents thought she was at school this whole time. That, is terrifying. I can only pray she's all right. =( 
I think we barely passed the class because we weren't supposed to have any scenes missing, and guess what. We have scenes missing. So we made a snarky "scene missing" message that we displayed in the video as the audio played for that scene. Better than nothing. ^_^;
I'm sure you're curious what the final product looks like, but you're not missing much. |D 
Still, everyone who pulled their weight did a great job and I'm thankful for their cooperation. 


Anywho, now that it's winter break I can relax. TuT I do want to keep improving on my work though, so I'm keeping myself busy with my own art projects and any commissions I receive.


Thank you all again for being patient and sticking by me through thick and thin! Happy New Year my lovelies! ;u;/ ~<3

Since it's October I do what I can to celebrate Halloween every day of the month because one day just isn't enough. >= D

Super stoked for tomorrow, it's the 3rd annual St. Louis Zombie Walk and who better to make a guest appearance than our beloved zombie werewolf? 8D It's gonna be my first year wearing Kryme to the walk! She's gonna go wild meeting new zombie friends. Anyone in the St. Louis area should definitely join us, it's free and all you gotta do is dress as a zombie and join us at the Delmar Loop at 7pm where the walk will begin. =)

Better yet, next week is fall break. -heavenly chorus- About time it got here seriously. |'D

I mean don't get me wrong I do enjoy my classes but it's tiring work, we all could use a break. ;v;

Also I know I'm late in the game but I now have a Twitter if you wanna follow me uwu twitter.com/Clawshawt Didn't need one for a long time. >x>

While I have time off I'll still finish commissions but I'm also taking it easy so I can stand back and breathe. Thus I may not be able to accept as many commissions this time around, but don't hesitate to note me for one. I'll accept if I'm up for it. =) I can use the money right now. TuT


All that aside! I'm looking forward to the rest of this year for more Halloween tricks and treats! I tend to have a movie or soundtrack playing on loop in the background while I work, and even play a horror game or two in my free time. ^_^

Speaking of which, I might even host another LiveStream for a scary game next week. ;)


I suggest you all do the same and celebrate the spookiest time of the year! 


Does anyone else have any plans? What do you like to do to celebrate Halloween? =D


Post your thoughts in the comments! 

Have a horrific Halloween! 8D

Shawty Plays: Slender by Clawshawt Come at Me Sucka by Clawshawt Let's Draw SPG! by Clawshawt





Rules:

1. If you're paying with PayPal, please type your username in the "message" box when you send money.

2. I'm not too comfortable with drawing yiff/porn, but tasteful nudity is fine. You may ask me what you want, and I'll let you know if I'm ok with it.

3. Please no haggling, do not ask me to do so. I'll be happy to work with you, but I do not tolerate harassment.

4. I will get started on your picture once I receive payment. I'll gladly show you works in progress if you like! That way I can change details if need be. =)

5. When commissioning a character picture from me, it's very important that I have as much reference material as possible. A detailed written description is great, and reference pictures of your character are even better! If you're writing, I need your descriptions in "Big-Words Dummy Talk" so that I know what I'm supposed to be drawing for you!

6. Asking me if I can make your picture look slightly more cartoony or realistic is fine! If you want me to mimic someone else's style, show me an example and I'll decide if I can do it.

7. When requesting a commission, please be clear and concise about telling me what you want. No chatspeak please!

GOOD: Hello, I'd like to commission you a Base Colored picture of my character Jeremy. Here are some reference pictures of him and you can send WIPs through my e-mail. Thank you!

BAD:hey can u draw mah char Jeremy? ill pay when i get mah check lol :)

If you have something specific in mind like a colorscheme or an angle (full-front view, profile, etc), please let me know.
I want to be more varied in my art, so unless you tell me what you want, I am going to probably get creative with details like that.

Due dates are not really a good friend of mine. I'd appreciate it if you let me work on the commission for as long as I need to, especially since I'm schooling and working. Unless it's for a birthday present, then I will try my best to finish the commission on time.


As far as trades go, shading and background will depend on how much work and effort the other artist is willing to put into their's.


Thank you! ^-^
In order to commission me or ask for a trade, please send me a note. It's easier for me to get back to you!

Back to the Future Stamp by Blue-Fox Steam Stamp by badtrane Steam Powered Giraffe by RefiTheNudibranch  
:heart: :iconxxunderrainbowsxx::iconclawshawt::heart: 

:iconfeelingfreeplz::iconbummy1::iconbummy2::iconbummy3::iconfeelingfreeplz:



Phew okay, been SUPER busy this summer, and I sadly didn't get around to completing some projects I had planned. ;.;

BUT plans change and it's not always a bad thing. =] Didn't originally plan to go to Natsucon but when I did I helped a good friend of mine with her cosplay contest and she won Best in Masters. So a mighty congratulations to :iconrawrsuitgirl: once again for her prized Xerneas fursuit! :clap:


So yes this year has been loaded with convention weekends and there's still more events to come. |'D

Yes, I'm mainly going to Metacon to see Steam Powered Giraffe, I can't thank :iconspectrelope: and :iconcenseredsinner: enough for allowing us to share a hotel room with them seriously thank you guys. ;.;
I didn't wanna go all the way to Minnesota without something to stand out from the crowd, so I have a HUGE surprise for the band and the fans and I really hope they like it. TuT Won't be showing ANY pictures until maybe the week of the con.


I'll also be going to Midwest Furfest I'm hoping to get Roxy made in time for that event but if not, Kryme will make an appearance instead. =]

There's also a Renaissance Faire in October! RawrsuitGirl, FuzzyBunsOfSteel and I are going and GrizzledDog will be wearing her upcoming werewolf Tusken and I'll be wearing Kryme. We'll be two werewolves rampaging the medieval lands of Kansas City~ Be there and be square dawg.



To answer any questions you may have about Metacon here you have it:


Where are you staying?
I think it's the con hotel which should be the Hyatt

What day are you getting there?
Hopefully Thursday

Who will you be rooming with?
My close friends RawrsuitGirl Spectrelope and CenseredSinner

Who will you hang out with during the convention?
My buddies and hopefully the band ;//w//;

What is the best way to find you?
I'm usually either checking out the Vendors Room or just roaming the main floor of the hotel/convention center.

Are there any panels you might be attending?
Anything SPG related lol

What do you look like?
Look out for a petite, short, scrawny lady with short red/copper hair and glasses.

Will you be in costume?
For sure! I ain't gonna say what yet cuz it's a surprise. ;D

Do you do free art?
I can do a quick sketch for ya if you have pencil and paper or if I bring my sketchbook (which I normally do most of the time)

Do you do badges/commissions?
Not on the spot, but contact me on DA and we'll talk. =]

How tall are you?
5'4"

Can I talk to you?
Yes! Don't hesitate to approach me I don't bite

Can I touch you?
If you insist then yes~

Can I visit your room?
What for? ;o

Can I hug or snuggle with you?
After you buy me dinner XD

Are you nice?
I think so! I'm not confrontational and mainly just want everyone to be happy and in a good mood.

How long are you going?
Likely Thursday evening to Sunday noon.

Do you have an artist table?
Nope!

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
Shout out my DA name or my real name =] (Clawshawt: k-law-sh-ah-t, Elicia: ah-lee-sha)

Can I look in your sketchbook?
If I have it on me you can~ ^_^

Can I draw in your sketchbook?
I suppose? If you really want to I'll flip a fresh page for ya~

Can I come with you for food/fun/etc?
If everyone's okay with it, totally!

Can I take your picture?
Definitely! Be sure to get my good side. ou~

What's your goal(s) for the con this year?
I wanna make some new friends and hang with the old! Plus I hope to meet the band members in person for the first time, and I hope they like my surprise for them. ;u;



AND REMEMBER:

I truly love and appreciate my fans for all of your support. You wouldn't believe how much it means to me, I apologize if I don't show it often, but I'm utterly grateful. ;~; Thank you <3
