Help for a friend - cheap adopts!
2 min read
Closed- I have enough people! Thank you!USD through paypal is preferred due to the holding period of points.
But I will accept points, as I understand it's all some people have sometimes.
Boo, my tablet pen is acting up severely lately and it's frustrating. A replacement for my model costs $60 (ouch) but it's significantly cheaper than a new tablet, and my tablet is working just fine as far as I can tell!
My pen has lost so much sensitivity that sometimes it doesn't register at ALL with light strokes - a major problem for someone with an aggravated wrist injury. I need to be able to press lightly for the sake of my wrist.
OPEN ADOPTS:
(The first one is now just $5 usd!)
Anyway! This means I'm gonna be opening CUSTOM CHARACTER DESIGNS!
Due to the nature of this, I want to only use bases. If you link a base of your choice, please be certain I am able to sell USD adopts on it. I don't want to step on anyone's toes.
My good friend
is in need of a new tablet pen and is opening up some adopts on many bases! They currently prefer USD via PayPal, but are also accepting dA points! Please take a look if you're interested, and there is a lot to choose from. They have bases for humans, anthros, canines, felines, equines, and more. Erradox has an /incredibly/ cute and fun loving style and you will not regret having some of it for your favorite characters!

You must be able to pay via PayPal, before December 15th.
No payment by that date, no art. I'm normally willing to haggle but this is a very time-sensitive emergency.
My friend's father was recently diagnosed with cancer. She is currently scheduled to leave the country to attend graduate school this coming January. Her father has expressed his wishes that she go to school and do what she loves. Round-trip tickets are currently around $1,000 USD.
A group of us are trying to raise enough money so that she can come home an extra time during the coming year. Right now she is not planning on coming home again until the 2018 holiday season.
This is where you guys come in! I'm opening emergency pre-paid USD commissions to help raise some funds towards these plane tickets.
They will be a little bit pricier than my normal pieces in the hopes we can raise enough. Thank you for understanding.
I also almost never ask for payment up front because I understand how crazy busy my life is. However, I will be on break from graduate school starting December 15th and lasting until January 31st, a long chunk of time I can dedicate to working on commissions.
***Everyone who pays before December 15th WILL receive a commission! If, by chance, I receive many orders, I will immediately contact you about an extended deadline***
Thank you all again for your consideration! Details about what I can/cannot do and more exact pricing will be worked out privately. My prices and examples are listed below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Full Body, Full Scene: $50 USD
Full Body, Transparent BG: $30 USD
Headshot/Bust, with or without BG: $20 USD
'Fakemon' (of YOUR design*), drawn in my style: $15 USD
*to be clear, I am NOT offering to design Fakemon for you. This means you provide an existing Fakemon design and I recreate it using my Fakemon style
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PayPal information will be discussed with those who are interested. You may send me a note on here or email me at thestormunleashed@gmail.com

I got this from:
10 Features:
1.)
GoldenGolden is this sun of mine
Bright and pure and old as time.
A blinding passion, a flooding rapture
with outstretched wings my heart you capture.
A sweet melody, a burning heat
a love that sweeps me off my feet
Your fire burns inside of me
It burns all walls, it sets me free
But there is pain, the deepest kind
a burden on my heart and mind.
It steals my breath, it rips my soul
Like sudden death it takes its toll
It dims your light and floods my heart
I'm drowning in this world apart
The cold and darkness eats away
I fall to my knees and begin to pray
The world falls away and I feel your power
A beacon in my darkest hour
I hear you calling and I run for you
Your light grows brighter and you pull me through
I know I can survive the pain
I know my love was not in vain
As hope and love my heart you embolden
I'll dream again because you are golden.
Missing YouI don’t know where I am.
I feel like all is lost.
What’s the point in living,
If this will be the cost?
How could I have lost again?
How could you have gone?
What was the point in knowing you,
If pain is all I’ve won?
Grief is in my heart again.
It’s in my soul and mind.
It touches all my memories,
It’s all that I can find.
But if you were here and saw my pain,
You’d hold my hand and smile.
You’d tell me it would be okay,
It might just take a while.
I remember how you made me laugh.
And how we’d laugh together.
I remember all the stories we made,
Are you really gone forever?
How can a memory make me laugh,
If it also makes me cry?
How can the thought of you make me happy,
When we have said goodbye?
If I had never known you,
I wouldn’t be so sad.
But maybe that’s the point in life,
To cherish what we had.
So now may be the time for grieving,
But my memories are true.
They remind

DeviantArtist Questionnaire
4 min read
How long have you been on DeviantArt? 3 years
What does your username mean? My username on all websites contains some form of the word "storm". I'm not sure exactly where this came from, but I wanted something that was more of a statement or title, and this came to mind.
Describe yourself in three words. Intelligent, Loyal, Humorous
Are you left or right handed? Left handed
What was your first deviation? OH GAWD
What is your favourite type of art to create? Digital paintings/drawings, and I do a small amount of photography (and would love to do more). But i'm also a sucker for acrylic on canvas if I can get a hold of it.
If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be? I'd LOVE to one day be super good at that classic 2D animation/movie style for doing comics and such.
What was your first favourite?
(so my first deviation and my first favorite are both pokemon XD )What type of art do you tend to favourite the most? Mostly digital art and photography
Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist? I can't pick a favorite, I have so many I look up to, whether it be for inspiration on style, anatomy, or just sharing a love for a different world.
If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be? ViolentFumes SongsOntheWind
How has a fellow deviant impacted your life? In art, countless deviants have inspired me to never stop improving. I've learned to try to things and styles and to never give up. In other aspects of life, ViolentFumes and SongsOntheWind have been there for me when it's gotten REALLY rough. I don't know what I'd do without these girls. I most likely wouldn't be in a state of mind where I could be sitting here and writing this journal if it wasn't for them. They've done more than I can ever repay these last 5 years <3
What are your preferred tools to create art? Wacom Intuos Pro tablet, SAI, PSCS 6, and a Sony Cybershot camera
What is the most inspirational place for you to create art? When at home, I sit either at the dining table or in the living room. While at university, I love the great room of our dorm hall in front of the fire place. No matter where, I listen to music when I can.
- What is your favourite DeviantArt memory? Probably the first time I got a fave or comment, or the first time a piece got requested to be in a group. It was amazing how much that made me want to get better, for others, not just myself.
