Happy Belated New Years Everyone!

Can I just say that I'm glad that 2011 is over with. I've never had such a hard year. Mentally and Physically draining. Though I can't say it was all bad, but there weren't many happy memories either. I failed ALL of my PT tests this year, work had me break down so often I didn't think I'd make it past this year, I lost contact with friends, and I had no motivation to do anything most of the time. But I did get to meet some online friends and attend my first Anime convention, which by the way, was amazing. And I got into some pretty good animes and TV shows.

I have high hopes for this year though! It'll be the start of an exciting new adventure. I'll be out of the military in about 6 months and I'll be living the life of a civilian and more likely a college student. I community college student, but a student non-the-less. LOL There is still business going on about my failures, but even being forced out wouldn't upset me as much anymore. Even then I'll be at least getting out of what's been causing my anxiety and depression problems. But not only that, I have high ambitions for my art this year. I'll soon be getting a new Cintiq tablet sometime in the new future and I'm EXCITED. But also, I've made it this year's New Year resolution to finish all the art I start. Meaning, less sketches and more completed art. Not that it matters much here since I don't really post unfinished pieces here that often, but hopefully it means I'll have more stuff to post regardless! Also I want to be able to finish all my commissions, trades, requests in a more timely manner. The list of art I owe is very old. I feel really bad that I've been neglecting them. If any of you want to change what you requested for something else, let me know. Like I said, it's been a rough year, but it's a new year and I'm going to try harder!

To make things easier, I'm completing the art I owe in a specific order. Commissions are top priority whereas requests are bottom priority. Until the current list is finished, I will not be doing any commissions, trades or requests. I'll let everyone know when they're back up again. I will be working on stuff for this year's Anime Expo, seeing as I will be attending again and other personal art in between.

(Commission) SasorixKagome
(Commission) ItachixOC
(Commission) OC, Ari
