I suppose now that I have a proper computer again, I can address this whole dA Eclipse nonsense

I, for one, hate Eclipse's layout. I can't figure out how to use it and I don't want to use it if I don't have to, and I'm pretty pissed that dA has decided to force it on everyone and do away with the legacy site format. But I've been on this site for over a decade, and a shitty new layout isn't gonna chase me off. I'll probably still operate as I always have, as a place to upload my art in a single location.

That being said! If anyone else is leaving but wants to keep tabs, here's where to find me elsewhere:

we just got back from the vet to say goodbye to our Italian greyhound Sam.

we took him in this last Thursday after my urging to get him looked at - basically he was very lethargic and hesitant to eat (very out of character for the dog that has climbed onto counters and tables to get at potential leftovers), and I could see that his ears and gums were pale, which is a very bad sign that us vet tech students have been told to look for once we get into clinical settings. 

they told us that he had two masses on his spleen, and he was severely anemic - just barely on the cusp of needing a blood transfusion. he hadn’t gotten any better after they gave him some medication, and the blood test told us that his body was not producing any red blood cells, and that he was breathing so heavily because he just couldn’t get the oxygen he needed. he struggled just to get up and walk over to his water dish nearby and we’d been having to hand-feed him. he was too old to undergo surgery, and with how his condition had been, any treatment would just prolong the inevitable for a short time.

he was still his feisty self in the end, though - he doesn’t like having his feet touched and even when he was drugged up from the relaxation meds he still tried to bite the vet, even though it was the slowest lunge in the world and he missed.

at least he was comfortable and basically just went to sleep. no pain.

goodbye, Sam.

My tablet that I've had since at least 2008 just died. Stopped working when I was in the middle of a brush stroke, and cannot be revived no matter what I try. So I'm hoping to get a replacement and get that replacement working.

Until then, I can't really work on anything digitally, and it's going to be very strange to be without a working tablet for the first time in over a decade.

Remember these plushies? And how I said I'd be making a journal once I decided when I'd be putting them in my Etsy shop for sale?

Well, I've decided.



My Etsy is over here, under LampshadeStudios. Based on the responses I’ve been getting, this will not be the only chance to buy these. I’m not sure when the next time will be, but I definitely will be making more in the future to put in my shop.

Armed plushies will be going for $70, unarmed ones $65. Shipping prices are dependent on where they'll be shipping to and are added on after the initial price.
