I currently have a queue of 5 paid commissions; that's what's keeping me absent - and business is going well in my Etsy shop so I'm a very, very busy dame these days. If I haven't replied to your comment/message/email, don't worry - you're not forgotten.
I'll get caught up soon!
Stay classy!

Yes, I'm still alive.
Between this and business, I'm a very busy woman . . . I'm currently working on several different pieces for several different people. They should start to show up in my gallery shortly; including a special Halloween one and one for Thanksgiving. :) I haven't disappeared completely!
Once I've finished up that batch, I'll reopen commissions and will only keep them open til the end of the year, when they'll close indefinitely as a result of the fact that I'll be about done gestating this fetus thing I've got going on here. I don't want to end up taking on commissions I won't be able to finish in a reasonable amount of time. People I've worked
Commissions closed for the time being
Due to the following factors, I'm closing commissions for a while:
1. My cat stole my tablet pen, which I haven't been able to find and now need to replace - not money I wanted to spend, but c'est la vie. This already has me backed up on the work I've got slated for me. Ridiculous, but it's true.
2. A family member is having surgery this week and I will have to balance caring for them with my main business, my commissions, and taking care of the Little Dame.
3. The entire Classy Family is buying a house, closing in just a few weeks, and we have to pack up everything and move - owning our own place is awesome, but it is definitely a time si
Some stuff about drawing/improvement
I've had a few people ask me for tips and stuff with drawing, and since I am not the world's greatest artist and I am still learning on a daily basis, I'd like to point folks to my tutorial/reference favorites folder here:

There's a ton of great stuff in there - posing, hands/feet, expressions, coloring/shading, and I think a tutorial on lineart. :)
The thing is, it's all of these (and a lot of just searching for tutorials on google, youtube, etc) that's lead me this far. I've taken everything that works for me and added it to how I do things. The way I color, for example, is s
Surgery, aka Where Is My Art, You Lazy Dame?!
So, I had unexpected surgery Friday to remove the fifth denizen of my uterus that's decided they don't want to stick around for the long haul. I keep telling the Little Dame that she's lucky she escaped that prison alive. I found out Thursday that it was a failure, and I haven't done anything since then because frankly, I'm more than a little depressed.
This means everything is seriously held up - from the Tanya/Erica series to the contest winners to the art I promised ~not-rick-astley (https://www.deviantart.com/not-rick-astley) like two or three months ago.
I'm going to start working again tonight, but probably slowly. Not because it's physically hard to sit on my ass and draw,
