Hello all.

I guess I'll just keep editing this journal, rather than filling all of your dA accounts with a brand spankin' new message everytime I scratch my ass. Cause I don't think you want to know anyways. So, without further ado, my journal.

Talisturo's information

I was wondering, is there anybody else, besides those who have already asked me, that would like to hear about Talisturo's backstory? I've gotten a reccomendation to post some of it, and because the novel is getting so long, I feel if anyone should get to see it, it should be you guys first!

Thought I might let anybody who wants to know in on his secrets. I keep forgetting that I tend to leave people in the dark, because I know everything about him, and automatically expect you to as well.

If I do post an excerpt of his life, I fully REQUEST and almost DEMAND critical comments on my writing and the scenes. Even though I do tend to get uncomfortable answering questions, I do plan on publishing this book someday, and might have to deal with the dreaded of most authors; fan mail.

Yep. Just tell me what you think.

Challenge

I'll be participating in the "Draw 100" challenge. Somebody do it with me, we can challenge each other! It's like a never ending art trade of doom.

deviantART; lack of attendance.

Well, highschool just started for me. Get to stretch those unused things that I call legs finally! Yaaaaaay. *cough* Soo, actually I lied. Highschool started Wednesday August 30th, however, today I just got all my classes switched up and am now in ALL honours classes. *egotistical glow* So check this out, I'm in Air Force ROTC, and have already earned my first stripe! But, on the downside to all this.. glow.. I've got extreme amounts of homework. So much, I don't even know if I can handle it all. I've got 3 hours set aside for homework, every night, and might still need more. Since school is my first priority, I'll give you guys a nice second. Art is still my passion. Just don't expect as many responses from me.

Sloppy Artwork

I've actually gotten complaints that my artwork is "sloppy" and "halfassed" Weeellll. I've actually gotten several complaint emails mentioning to me, either discreetly, or in very snide fragments, that "My art sucks and I should stop drawing." Though I usually get extremley pissed at the remark, with all of your guys' support, I don't even take a second glance at their remarks. Which really probably isn't even a "They" it's probably just some stuck up snotty ass little teenager emailing me under 10 different screen names.

haha, you start noticing patterns sometimes. Yanno? Without further ado, if you would like to complain about my art, please send me a note! Entitle it, "Art complaints" so I don't even have to waste my time reading your bullshit.
Thank ya kindly.



Stress

Okay, so the stress of school has already been mentioned, here, you can all listen to my angsty IRL whining.

There's this dog..

Yeah, I'm taking care of a small Jack Russel Terrier, AKC, UKC, & TBSC registered, so I was pretty baffled at getting this dog. She's got an 8 generation pedigree, and is basically a pretty damn expensive bitch. Well, I told the owners, "Yes, I'll take your dog - no, this is NOT for sure. If I can't handle it, at least I'll be giving you back a dog thats trained." -- they agreed.

However, a week later, when I deem my grandmother (who would actually be the one taking the dog) can't handle it, and my mom goes and pulls this shit, "Why can't you MAKE it work?" "Just because you have other dogs doesn't mean you can't take this one too." "I would've made it work; you're a lousy dog trainer."

That hurt. Bad. My mom's never insulted me as far as that. And that really hurt. Around this time, I went upstairs and started doodling the piece you all know now as, "Cold"

In short, so my mom can prove a point, she's going to take the dog and "MAKE" it work. In otherwords, even though I have 3 pitbull terriers, one of which is already fucking dog aggressive and HAS killed another dog through no fault of her own, she's going to take this little jack russel 10 month old puppy and MAKE her get along with my pitbull, with whom IS dog aggressive.

I'll be coming home to a dead dog soon enough. I promise, I won't post pictures. :/


AIM

Again, just mentioning that I'm seldom ever on AIM. I might come on 4-5 times a week, I might come on once in the month -- I might not sign on for several months at all. So, waiting to contact me by AIM is at your own risk. Your best chance is to contact me via deviantART. Please send me a note with any questions. I try to check deviantART everyday, and if I can't at least it's checked once a week. However, if you really want to contact me, I check my email every Friday.

AIM: Talisturo

Talisturo@yahoo.com



Less Responses.

If I can't respond to my own comments, please don't expect me to respond to everyone elses work too! Just keep in mind, that I really do try. I try to check the first few on the top, last on the bottom, and randomly in between, that way everyone has a fair chance of me seeing their stuff!

Art

With whom do I have trades with right now? If we have a trade going on right now, LET ME KNOW ASAP, or I will NOT finish your trade! And believe me, I don't want a bunch of hormone-raging artists mad because I didn't draw your yiffy anime wolf girl character.

Just let me know.

Commissions

I don't want to say I'm "open" for commision, because I have alot of shit to finish. Buut, if you ever wanted a commision, send me a note, or an email, or...something. Contact me somehow.
These commisions are not free.

Price: $10.00 - $20.00 USD

Ten dollar commisions are for things that don't take as much out of me, where 20 dollars I'll be putting very hard work into them. Currently, I only accept Paypal, or you can send me Cash.

I am not responsible for any money lost in the mail.

All of a sudden, I have this dire need for money. I've got 200 dollars funded for my car though! So yay, good news.. only about 10,000 dollars more to go.
