I usually don’t do this, but the reasons why I am are very important. My life situation right now is stressful and very frustrating, but I’m trying my best to cope.
It’s difficult for me to say, and I’m REALLY uncomfortable talking about my personal life openly…but essentially, I’m having serious issues with my medical insurance at the moment. They are refusing to pay my medication and treatments.
I’m very sick. I’ve been dealing with this illness since I was a child. Because the medical insurance is denying me coverage, we have to pay my treatments out of pocket. It has drained us emotionally and financially. My family has resorted to hiring a lawyer with money we don’t have. We are also behind on our bills because of me. It’s painful for me to watch my family struggle.
This isn’t a peg for a sympathy party, I really hate trying to get into details and even then this is all a little vague, but I am very serious that my situation has reached a point where I can not keep quiet any longer without risking the safety of my entire family. I need to help out.
So by doing commissions, I hopefully can at least help pay for everything. I am unable to work regular jobs because of my condition and as a child I did not feel like my drawings were good enough to sell but…I hope they are now?
As of current I feel my prices to be reasonable, and I will do my best to keep a consistent standard of quality in regards to the commissions.
Freelancing art is what I will be doing for a while to help support my family as best I can. Please understand I’m going to dedicate most of my time now to doing these commissions, this is a very serious matter. This will be treated as a job for the time being.
I will open a few slots at a time so I can concentrate on each of your requests and give my clients the 100% they deserve. If you’re interested please email me at Kiddybro@hotmail.com.
If you have any questions please shoot me an ask.
Other than that, signal boosting would be great and I would be forever thankful!

say horuss really fast
sister: who’s horuss
me: say his name.
sis: horuss.
me: ….repeat it and say it fast.
okay, i’m doing this.
hi, my name is tracy aka runes, runesby, etc. i don’t usually like to blog about my private life very often, but i’ve reached a point where i’m absolutely desperate. very recently, i’ve been experiencing a pretty killer pain in the left side of my mouth. upon closer inspection, i’ve discovered i have a wisdom tooth coming in AND two deep cavities on my back upper teeth. they’re both causing me an INSANE amount of pain and discomfort and it’s hard for me to eat and sleep.
i don’t have dental insurance. now i know it might seem trifling to most, especially since people usually resort to donation posts for very serious things, but i’ve reached my wits end. i don’t have any money. i don’t want to ask my parents because they’re already taking care of my mom’s medical bills (which include 10+ medications). and even if i DID ask, they probably don’t have the money.
i’d offer commissions, but i’m currently at a point in life where i honestly can’t promise them due to time constraints. if you’re willing to wait a while, maybe until i’m done with the semester, i could possibly arrange something. until then, though…
this is probably going to run me a couple hundred dollars, and i swear i wouldn’t be asking if i wasn’t in serious trouble. even if it’s a dollar, i’d appreciate it wholeheartedly! my paypal is runesby@hotmail.com iirc, but if you have any questions, please message me on tumblr!
thank you so much. :)
tracy is near and dear to me and it hurts to see her in pain. you have my deepest appreciation for helping her out :C
halloween season has just about killed me but i’m poking my head out the woodworks for this!! signal boost for the day crowd!
my original plan was them fighting but then it turned into this

✿‿✿ short story about that roxy in the black skirt, 4th photo:

what are you cosplaying as, and she’s like
o it’s from this webcomic, and i’m like
i knew it.
moral of story, if you ask for gray face paint, you are probably a homestuck.

- shatterstag: soselfimportant: REBLOG if you can, we both worked really hard on this. Thanks! - James I have been working on this for the last few days, mostly because of waiting for this AMAZING ALBUM ART. (Seriously if you haven’t checked out Vickybit’s comic yet, you are missing out.) Let me walk you through what is happening here: 0.00 - We start with the Showtime intro, which is really downplayed in remixes. Its a pretty cool and well written part, hopefully I do it justice. 0.19 - here the arpeggiated line from showtime is played in a middle register. Nice. 0.35 - was that Zillyhoo? 0.42 - the melody finally comes in, in a middle voice as well. 1.05 - The middle melody descends into Explore 1.23 - Black stabs its way in there. 1.29 - [S] Key: Ascend to D minor we are introduced to a bass register here. 1.48 - man you really like that zillyhoo line don’t you. 2.17 - Harlequin 2.29 -Harlequin played over zillyhoo? This is MADNESS. 2.42 - How low do you even have to be to play this melody 3.05 - Things seem to be clearing up. What? Why is it getting louder? Is that ZILLYHOO AGAIN 3.29 - You know what fuck it just play harlequin on top of Showtime. 3.41 - Zillyhoo smashes its way into the clusterfuck. 3.53 - Melody in the higher register. This is the part I wrote first, believe it or not. Climax of the piece. 4.18 - The ending is in sight. Listen for harlequin right at the end. this is so mindblowingly fucking amazing. /glory

I found an old drawing of mine that I never posted so I thought I would make a companion of what I had worn recently. Seeing as I had wanted to draw one of my recent outfits anyways. I love drawing my clothes sometimes! They can just be so cute.
AK’s Guide to SuitsAn introduction to the finer details of menswear, and how to get them right in your… aw, hell, why am I describing it here? Read the intro!
I stumbled upon a website that allows you to blend any colors evenly no matter how opposite on the spectrum they are.

Thought this would be useful for other artists!
- Art Reference Post
I’ve seen a lot of art reference masterposts floating around the tumblrsphere, figured I’d toss mine into the ring. A lot of them are just lists and lists of tutorials and it’s kind of overwhelming! I’m going to try to shave mine down to just a few things that have stood out to me over the years as being particularly inspirational, and give a little info as to how/why I use these resources. I’ll break it down into general, character, and environment. :)
Because tumblr will shrink it down to unreadable size, CLICK HERE to view the full tutorial!
Part I is a comprehensive breakdown of different hair types and techniques I use when drawing them.
i love this tutorial! i remember trying to learn how to do this on my own when i was a teenager because none of the LEARN TO DRAW THE ANIMEZ AND MANGAZ art books i looked at said jack about it? having stuff like this at easy access is one of the reasons ~i love the internet~
even though i no longer draw whoops
- Notes on Dreadlocks!
So the first thing to remember is that, essentially, dreadlocks are just pieces of hair that have matted together into a semi-uniform consistency. Some people make them into more elaborate styles, but the core essential of the dreadlock is this style and process right here:
In this style the hair has been allowed to naturally dread, without any kind of styling or separation. This results in big, matted chunks of hair, with the ends often having a much lighter color than the roots.
Drawing hair like this is a good way to practice the shapes, textures, and penstrokes you’ll be using without the frustration of drawing a lot of individual dreads.
The short, circular penstrokes I use for a lot of dread stuff (and kinky hair in general) is called scumbling
I’ll also point out early on that kinky hair will lock up much differently than finer hair! I’ll address this more further down the line. Shakira will be helping me. But first, let’s look at how styled dreads work in kinky hair.
One of the more irritating things about drawing dreads or braided styles is that, unlike loose hairstyles that you can describe with layers of flowing lines, dreads have to be defined individually from root to tip to read correctly.
But, we can use a similar technique to drawing loose hair to define more complex dread styles. By defining the shape of the style and the flow of the hair in the early stages of the sketch, it becomes easier to pick out individual locks and make the drawing more detailed. I’ve used this process here to draw a style from a reference image:
Kinky hair tends to lock up faster and neater than finer hair. The roots are often tighter, and the tips blunt, though there may be some unraveling. Using a spiral-style scumbling and darkening it in some places (roots and tips, shadowed area) gives both texture and value to the lineart.
I usually use one unbroken line for each dread. Once you get a rhythm going it goes very quickly!
I used the same technique to make this one look a little more cartoony/stylized. On the top set, I used the same scumbling technique that I used in the last drawing. However, sometimes a character might have lighter hair that doesn’t look so great with that style. In that case, try basket-weaving or cross-hatching to give the dreads form and texture, but not darken them up so much.
I used the same fill color for both sets, but you can see that the top one looks much darker!
Finer hair dreads much differently than kinky hair. Obviously this isn’t the best example of what dreads in white hair look like, but it does show the differences very clearly.
Fine hair will take longer to lock properly, and will be more prone to unraveling. The dreads tend to be looser at the root, and taper more at the tips.
Because of this, people with finer hair tend to put products in their hair to encourage locking. This can cause their dreads to look stiff or even waxy, and bend at odd angles. Like tentacles!
Now of course these are natural dreads, but the same concepts apply to artificial dreads. There are just a few things to remember! Clicking on photographs will take you to the source pages, which often have more photo reference and information.
These are yarn locks, a popular type of style that emulates the style of dreads but is much quicker to create and easier to take down than real dreadlocks. They are made by coiling yarn around parted sections of hair. These have a distinct texture and shape, and are often melted/frayed at the ends to keep from unraveling. Since this is a temporary style, new growth isn’t much of an issue. The parting between the locks is often neat and uniform, and you won’t see new growth/loose hair unless the style is several weeks old or poorly maintained.
These are kanekalon dreads, made by twisting/backcombing artificial kanekalon hair and heat-sealing it once the appropriate shape and texture is achieved. This is an inexpensive, if time-consuming, method, and is often used to achieve colorful styles, not to mention that cybergoth look that the kids love so much.
Dreadlock extensions are also very popular. Even natural looking styles are often supplemented with extensions, to give more length, volume, or a more uniform texture and appearance.
Well that’s about all I have for you guys! If there’s anything else you’d like to know about my style or process, let me know! I love putting together things like this. I hope it was helpful!
