HELLO TO EVERYONE, both new and old! I haven't updated this journal in... almost six months. Oh my. I'm so sorry to everyone who's been expecting me to update more! At the very least, I've been trying to keep up with thanking for watches, but if for some reason I haven't gotten to you, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I sincerely appreciate the supports and every watch, fave and comment, even if I don't reply right away. Lately I've been trying out Tumblr for a more low-pressure atmosphere to post sketches, since I've had very little will to really move forward with finished pieces. I have very little time in the evenings after work, and I'm often just too exhausted to want to do anything in-depth, which has led to me posting much less here, and much more on Tumblr as I finish small sketches. Rest assured I'm still making art all the time and it can still be found SOMEWHERE; it's just that it's never anything big or finished enough to warrant posting here. If you're interested in my lazy floating heads and Copic or Col-erase doodles, please check out Tem on Tumblr!

But really, the real reason I'm updating now (after my long hibernation) is to pimp some commissions!

, a dA friend, is in some financial trouble right now and could really use your business, and her art is both beautiful and very reasonably priced. Look at these colors and gorgeous linework! Right now she's having a sale on couples where you can add a second character for half price. Check out her info here: [link]


is taking art card commissions right now! Her spots are full, but she's still open and she'll be taking more as she finishes the current ones on her plate, and her prices can't be beat. If you're not familiar with ATCs/PSCs, or sketch cards, they're 3.5"x2.5" rectangles of original, one-of-a-kind traditional art, and hers are real gems- the amount of detail she crams into that small space is stunning! Her info is here: [link]


is always a joy to work with, and although she's very busy with school she's still taking commission bookings (and completing them so quickly!). In general, she's very speedy and her work has so much dynamism, expression and fun- and she does great backgrounds, too! Her info is here: [link]


does amazing work, guys. Her prices are every inch worth it! Beautiful desaturated colors, fantastic attention to clothing detail, and her poses feel so natural. She's very communicative and open, and overall just wonderful to work with! Her info is here: [link]



If anyone else has commissions open right now, or a friend they'd like to pimp here, please let me know and I'll give them some lovin'!
