Hello all. It has been years.

A lot has happened since I planted my roots at DeviantART 14 years ago, and it feels weird to be making a journal for the first time again in many years. But I am here to say that I am back for now and I want to see if this is still a place I want to be.

Art has always been a passion of mine, but I have not put pen to paper (or tablet-pen to tablet) in a long long time. I don't fully know why, but I just stopped after completing my Undergraduate degree in 2012. I would like to think this is because I have been too busy, but in reality, I think I just didn't make the time. I haven't been in touch with my creative side in so long, and it has not done me any good. I miss it and I want to start drawing and creating again for myself.


Back in the day, favourites and views were what I based my creativity on. If it was liked, I made more. If it wasn't, I would stop creating and feel like my work was not good enough. I am back now to draw/sew/mould/paint for myself, for my own wellbeing and to pursue what I value - creativity.

Of course, it would be lovely to touch base with anyone who is still around from the good 'ol days. But equally, I have come back to meet new creators and develop new friendships along the way.


So here I am. I can promise nothing in terms of frequency of work, or quality, but I can say that I am happy to be here and eager to get stuck in C:

YUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I stalked that effin' firesale for 2 weeks and FINALLY I was able to have a chance at getting a ticket! I don't follow Twitter so I missed the first 2 waves of tickets, but since then, I have been refreshing Twitter every day (multiple times) just WAITING for the countdown to be posted!

As of 1hr 30mins ago, me and my partner :iconyiyan: got a couple of tickets and have booked our hotel room *joy* We have both been to Gemucon 2013, CoxCon 2014 and were devastated when we thought we had missed CoxCon 2015... but then WE GOT TICKETS! :iconlachoirplz:

So yeah, any other Deviants going????

IMPORTANT

    Ø  For now, I would prefer a reference picture if you would like me to draw an OC

    Ø  I prefer payment before I start the commission; however this can be negotiated on a case by case basis.

    Ø  Waiting time varies. I work full time. But maximum wait of 3 weeks (realistically this is more likely for full coloured/shaded art.)


The prices I have listed are almost entirely based around the time it takes to complete each type of commission. Because shading requires so much time I have made the shaded commissions a little more expensive than the rest. To combat this though I have added a non shaded but coloured commission C:

OK, since my last journal my life has been somewhat turbulent. I thought I would take some time to write about it here in my journal in order to explain my situation. Partially to help get my own head around it all and partially because I like to let you guys know what's going on xD

First off, I had to resign from the job I was so happy about in my last journal. I am not going to go into detail (for confidentialities sake) but what I can say is that it was a personal decision and not one I took lightly. I was gutted to have to do it, but relieved all the same.

On the flip side, I was EXTREMELY lucky to be accepted for another job that I interviewed for only 1 day after my resignation! This role is for a Therapeutic Support Worker in a similar role as the job I had to resign from (so, working with adolescents with mental health concerns/learning disabilities). This role is full time (not casual) and is working in a hospital (not in residences), which is great because I need the clinical experience to eventually get on a ClinPsyD training program. This job also uses my Psychology degree which is the cherry on the cake really! I didn't study my ass off for 3 years, away from home, to get a First Class Degree and not use it -.-

I have already completed all of the training, and I have had my week's induction. I get to start shadowing starting tomorrow, which will be my official start date. I am excited but also very nervous. I am not used to the degrees of challenging behaviour that I am going to face, but I think it will be a matter of acclimatising and learning the children for who they are as individuals. 

Another thing that I am going to have to get used to is that I will be doing 12 hour shifts on a rolling rota (including weekends and nights). This means more full days off than the average 9-5 worker, but less time in the afternoons on days that I do work.

This means that some days I will be able to come on dA and some days I will not. So if you send me a message and I appear to ignore you for 3 days in a row, it's not because I am ignoring you, its because I am at work or I have gone straight to bed after work! xD

So yeah, that's my situation. I really hope I will be able to help these children, and enjoy doing so even through the tough/challenging times :3


OH and I also have a cold :shakefist: I am sitting here sniffling away and hoping that I will be better for tomorrow >.<
