Mike Renner Commission: Part The Twelfth

And Nene Sword, if you can read this, I DID get your email regarding your commission. However, every time I tried to reply, I kept getting a mailing failure message, like, a second later. So don't think I was ignoring you, I was just literally unable to reply.

Uh, yeah. If any of you guys go to Hell when you die and you see me there with a Glasgow Smile, know that this TRG Episode is PROBABLY the reason why. : D;;

What? Don't you find it a LITTLE creepy that this, of all things, was his dying role?

July 6th, 10:30 A.M.

It's time to end this.

I think I more or less explain my feelings on the matter, but in case you're still sore about my decision, I think almost FOUR YEARS is a long enough time to throw in the towel and move on with your life. I've thought about this for the longest time and my choice is final. Also, one of the reasons I decided this is because I fell out of love with the storyline, so I would appreciate if everyone kept their commentary on the matter to themselves.

Part 2! "Francine Continues to Loses her Goddamn MIND".

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that's it for that scene. Nice to have finally given it visuals. But man, was Francine pissed while working on that. I'm about fixin' to take a month off from COLD so she can calm the hell down.

No, seriously. Finances are still pretty tough, so COLD is going on a month hiatus so that I may, yet again, begin another Month of Commissions. My goal is to clear out as many as I can by next week so that I'll be able to take up new orders, so all who are interested, but know the ungodly size of the current queue, keep an eye out.

June 7th, 1:37 A.M.

Gods ye damns, it's already the seventh?

Sara Johnson Commission: Part the Sixth

Just a quickie commission to get out of the way since some of the more detailed ones higher on the list, I lacked the proper details to work with (in some cases, I still do. If I sent you an email, PLEASE respond so I can at least get started on them. If you've already responded, unless more issues arise, we're good to go).

Don't Call It A Comeback

For anyone not in the know, it was recently announced that Capcom is bringing back its famous Vs. series for another go. They tussled with Marvel super heroes and fellow SNK fighting legends in the past and now, they are going to do battle with classic anime faces in "Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes". Tatsunoko was responsible for many classic animes such as Speed Racer and Gatchaman, but one property that throws itself in front of me the hardest would be Kyattou Ninden Teyandee.

Better known to us American audiences as SAMURAI PIZZA CATS.

While the chances of some Pizza Cats Vs Street Fighter action might not be as slim as I thought, seeing how KNT/SPC is a bigger staple in Tatsunoko history than I imagined it to be, there is still an absurdly strong chance that this game may never see American shores (strong enough evidence being that this is, so far, only going to be an arcade game and where do THOSE exist anymore here in the States?). Regardless, I would LOVE to see, at the very least, Speedy/Yattarou in the roster to prove to me that KNT/SPC is more than just an underground internet cult classic.

June 2nd, 10:17 P.M.

Everyone remember way back in CD3, the "Eggman Rapes the Computer" scene? I think Wil said he was looking forward to drawing that scene or something. Well, whatever the case, this is my version for the graphic novel I'm illustrating. Only there's no computer raping. It's just the start of a scene that I've been wanting to do ever since I took on the job of drawing COLD.

I call it "Francine Loses her Goddamn MIND".

First post of solo life in my own apartment GO!

First off, even though I already did at DA, I want to wish Madfather warm welcome to the family. I've been watching his stuff for a while now, REALLY good Looney Tunes-ish material. Highly recommend it if you haven't already checked out in the past few days I've been gone.

Secondly, I want to dish out the three quickie commissions that I had sketched before I moved and before I lost a steady internet connection. Once I get it back, it's first come first serve yet again, but ANYWHO BEHOLD.

The Wise Mankey Commission: Part The Twenty Fourth
The Wise Mankey Commission: Part The Twenty Fifth
The Wise Mankey Commission: Part The Twenty Sixth

Next, if you by any chance watched me at DeviantArt, you may know that I had declared that account, as well as my Sheezy and FurAffinity ones dead, buried, and defunct. Then I started to use the DA one to promote commissions. You may all remember me saying this, but I did this all in hopes of trying to get traffic over to Fireball by keeping stuff strictly on Fireball. Well, I'd like to think that plan did nothing but make things worse. SO! Soon enough, I will be posting back on DA at the least, since the majority of my fanbase is over there. Just a fair warning to board up your inboxes.

Finally, I can't stick around since this is a hot spot, but I wanna let you guys know that I just may be getting my own internet connection again come Thursday before I head to work if I'm lucky. Cheaper than I expected it to be. Hell, cheaper than it was back in Massachusetts. So if all goes well, I'll see you all then, ey wot?

May 19th, 2:37 A.M.

Sorry I wasn't able to wish you a happy birthday or make you anything, Psy. I just hope that my wanting to finish the new COLD pages before I move later today (The date was changed to today. If you're a wrestling and Kane fan like I am, you might see the humor in this) AND the return of a character we haven't seen in exactly three months will make up for it.

May 12th, 1:30 A.M.

I don't normally like to share Transformation related artwork on the Fireball front page lately due to it being a smidgen difficult for TF Art Haters to find by posting it on my front page alone, but I need content for an important announcement and here it be. So if you are one of those aforementioned TF Art Haters, no one is forcing you to look at the following commission but yourself.

ShineofRain Commission

ANYWAY. Two orders of business. I'm making room for five commission spots. Everyone else on the staff, do not worry, I'm sure they'll be filled by either Mankey or Renner in about a minute. XD;;

Next up! You all remember how I said I was moving out of Ame's place come mid May? Yeah, that day is fast approaching. With any luck it'll be sometime within the next two days when I'm off from work to actually move stuff, but definitely sometime after the 15th, I will be rocking solo. Now what that means is that since it's going to take everything I have financially to pay off rent, electricity, and gas, there's a stupendous chance that I won't have my own personal internet connection for a very, very, VERY long time. Don't worry, though! As far as my obligations to both the site and Commission Shop customers, I will still be able to supply. There are plenty of places around that offer WiFi connections, closest of which being the local McDonalds. I suppose once every week, I swing by, get a double cheeseburger so I'm not loitering, and upload what COLD pages are due and everything else that I have to share.

This more hurts things like checking and responding to email or any sort of other communication people may have with me. Those who email me know that I am quick to respond, always keeping a Gmail tab on Firefox open in case someone surprises me (if not that, then the GMail Notifier). Through this move, I'm not going to be able to be as responsive as I normally am and I ask you to bear with me on that fact considering the circumstances.

Sooo...yeah, I suppose that's it. I've already been semi-nonexistent these days as it is, so I guess it shouldn't be too much of a difference, now should it?

Having finished some practice pieces, commissions, and otherwise important projects, I thought I'd take the time to finish a pic I had sketched in an age ago for a familiar face that got a new face...face face.

New World Vikki

Oh, and this goes out to all the Commission Shop customers out there, but just as Ame is moving to a new place, so too am I in mid May. I'm not opening new spots up YET, this has more to do with the current queue of orders. If you see the outdated to-do list that I don't update anymore floating around anywhere and see the commission queue on there, yet see that I am taking care of whatever orders that are on there OUT OF order, do not fret, I am not skipping over people without a reason. For the time being, I'm trying to take care of orders on the list that can be done faster than others in order to make new spots available before the move date. I apologize to any customers this may affect, but this is only until I move into my new place. After that, it's first come, first serve as usual.

Thank you for understanding, if you indeed understand.
