Hey guys, I've been active posting art on an instagram account my best friend and I made. It's a portfolio of sorts, I guess haha. Here's the link!
www.instagram.com/valitanartis…
I've been posting more art on there if you're interested, or if you're my friend on here I'll PM you my facebook so we can chat
I'm also super sorry I haven't been posting on here terribly much, I've honestly been losing interest on this site, and just graduated college with a BA in Graphic Design sooooo yeah. I don't really expect any of you to forgive me OTL

My dear friend online Jeshika-Haruno is doing a Kickstarter for a game called "Puppy Dogs from Space" (which is very cute btw). You can help by donating, reblogging or just spreading the word (because I more or less abandoned tumblr., I made a journal here)
P.S. Sorry I haven't been on much. Real life and disinterest for the site and all.

After doing a big project for Cheferoni which involved coming up with some journal designs and page designs, I though of something: Maybe I could do this as a commission offer?
I just think this would be a decent idea. Since I'm a graphic designer and I'm used to the stuff that's involved with page decorating (coding, typography, etc), I could try to make money off of it.
What does everyone else think? What would be a reasonable price for everything? (like journal page designs and banners) I don't think I'd go through with this unless I get approval with a few people. I'm mostly terrified of this idea blowing up in my face.
(sidenote: I've done journal designs for people in the past, including my friend Mindsebbandflow, so I've had experience before, but for points rather than money)
BIG HONKIN' EDIT:
My friend Cheferoni asked me to make a poll with the possible prices, and since I don't have a PM, I decided to make up for it by making a journal of possible prices. I just need anyone's approval before going through with this.
Banners (examples: i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a… i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a… s1286.photobucket.com/user/Art…)- either: 
$5 a piece
$10 a piece
or 
$15 a piece
Journal pages (no examples for now, and I'm not sure why :C)- either:
$10 a piece
or
$15 a piece
Custom box backgrounds (examples: i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a…) either:
$3 a piece
$5 a piece
or 
$7 a piece
Let me know if this is reasonable or if you have suggestions of your own. Thank you!

Because so many others are doing it for deviantART's birthday and because I wanted to delete my mopey-ass entry from before  I think I'll tell ye a tale of how I started here.
So it all started when my friend Logan (aka Etid-Frost) met in high school. We had the same gym class together, and he asked me if I had an account here. So against my parents' will, I decided to make an account to keep in touch with him a little better under my old alias- xxNINTENDORKxx, because I found it just hilarious at 15- and to get to know him a bit better as well. And it was then I posted this piece of shit:

And it was from there I just posted more and more. As a lot of people who've known me for a long time know, I had an old Fan Character, going by the name of L-chan (or Lauren. Whatever.). She was Paul's lover, and wheel-chair bound. And of course, I had that embarrassing crush on Paul, from Pokemon. 
One way or another, though, I made a lot of friends here, and became a "popular" artist on here. I liked how I could make new friends with people from places I could only dream about travelling to. I have Asperger's Syndrome, so I don't make friends well, and my brother is pretty much the golden boy in my family whereas I'm....well, not... so I liked the attention I was getting from this website. Even though I was a fucking dumbass and my art and writing was mediocre at best, people liked me a lot, and it felt good that I was being praised this much.
Of course, this kind of came with negative attention too. People denounced my character as a "Mary Sue" and gave some less than helpful comments on my arts ("Why does your art suck so much?" and "kill yourself" come to mind), as well as posting my stuff on some "fuckyeahshittyart" tumblr. blogs. That didn't feel very good, to say the least, but I kind of woke up after that. It was kind of an epiphany, and I decided to give my characters a makeover and mature a bit, too. I also saved up some cash to buy a tablet, and learned how to use Paint tool SAI for my artwork. 
I also decided to try new things to draw, too. One of them was My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. 

Something else happened a while later: I got a job as a caricature artist in 2012. I also made a new series called "Academy of Misfits", and developed a new art style. It took me a while to grow into it since I was so used to drawing anime, but I found something that works for me. 

Mature Content

Even though I'm not "popular" anymore since I've been on and off on this website (busy as a bee), I'm glad I made so many friends, and improved my craft so much in the span of five years. And here's to improving even more five years from now.
   
I also have commissions up now (for real money), and I'm starting some projects for graphic design, as well as cosplay and needlework (pssst....I'm cosplaying as Nanami from Dangan Ronpa for Halloween this year!)

You know the drill by now.
Blah blah blah school, blah blah blah taking two summer classes
Blah blah blah work, blah blah blah got my old job back, blah blah blah working 10-12 hour shifts and stress and pressure galore
Blah blah blah more school, blah blah blah got accepted into a university, blah blah blah probably be spending more time there in the fall since I got a scholarship
Blah blah blah relationship stuff, blah blah blah seeing him more often to escape stress, blah blah blah still wondering if he still loves me and all that crap.
Blah blah blah mental health, blah blah blah depression coming back and having PTSD relapses
Blah blah blah physical health, blah blah blah going on the paleo diet to make me less fat and it's making me tired and dizzy (google's your friend if you don't know what that is btw)
Blah blah blah family, blah blah blah I'm a disappointment, blah blah blah I'm not perfect like my brother
Blah...blah...blah....
At this point I'm making excuses. Sometimes I wonder how I didn't lose all my watchers since I'm barely around anymore and working on original stuff and not self-insert bullshit I was into when I was retarded and in high school. You all know the drill. If you're wondering why I'm absent, I'm just going to be sounding like a fucking broken record.
Also premium running out, if it does I'm not going to be doing point commissions since I want to make real money. UwU I take PayPal, and it's actually sorta reasonable so if you want art from me, either commission me or do an art trade. I'm not doing requests since I got a particularly rude person who was badgering me on when it was done (not saying who she is).
I'm leaving I guess.
