hello y'all, long time no see!

i've been slowly getting back into a daily routine regarding online activities and projects, with finally starting to record my own music, some video editing projects on a seperate youtube channel, and also finally setting up a redbubble and etsy shop!

on redbubble there'll mostly be artworks, such as warriors fan art, or original designs, such as space kitty(already available on many products)! so, if you want to financially support me in any way and also get something cool in return, that's one good way to do it - even when redbubble only leaves a relatively small amount of profit for the artist themselves, but thats another story.

etsy is less art, more vulture culture! people who follow me on other social media might have noticed i've been actively getting into vulture culture in the past year, and now i finally got the chance of selling some of my specimens. the first ones are a bit older, from back when i hadn't as much experience, but i swear upcoming articles will be of much higher quality. so, in case you're interested in vc or curiosities, it'd mean a ton if you'd take a look at the shop! :)


that's all for now, i'll keep you updated on projects and hopefully also art in the near future,

see ya!

hey there, whoever might possibly read this.
i'm still alive, but life has gotten a bit much to handle in the past weeks/months. i'm not going to vent about my life here, but a brief summary might be a good option.
at the beginning of summer break around two months ago, me and my girlfriend broke up, which was(and still is) hard to believe and process. four weeks ago school started again so there's that, i'm kinda drowning in school work, my own thoughts and some other mental shit but whatever. i'm still drawing/sketching things almost every day, but being active on deviantart isn't a priority anymore- i can't say if i'm ever going to be active on here again, since it's kinda difficult to manage from my phone(as i'm mostly online via phone and less via pc these days) but i'll give it a try to at least upload full artworks/scenes here still.
also, even though i'm not active on this platform, you can still follow my art or get in contact with me via instagram(art/general(more active)) or tumblr, especially when it comes to commissions(in this case you can also dm me on deviantart, i'll log in every once in a while), which are still open - and i mean open as in i'm in need for money to pay for work materials and food. it'd mean a lot to me if you could spread the word.
so, all in all, i am low on money and stressed out, but somehow? surviving? so yeah, that's all for now.

see y'all,
joan

heya,
as i'm currently (and in general tbh) in need of some money, i figured i'd do a proper commission journal again!! O:
they'll most likely stay open all the time, as i don't expect many people to actually be interested, but who knows?


terms/general stuff


- there's no guarantee i'll accept your commission! i'm usually not too picky and don't have a problem with more difficult requests though.

- all payments must be made upfront. i won't start your commission if i haven't received the payment for it.

- speaking of mOnEy - in case i am unable to finish your commission, you'll get a full refund.

- because i'm not able to draw every day/work on commissions daily because of personal projets, health, school etc., it can take up to 2/3 months until i finish your request. if i haven't finished until then, feel free to ask me about it, in case i have forgotten. (sorry in advance if this should happen,, whoops)

- i'm usually only drawing felines, but will also try other species like canines, rodents, maybe even humans(most likely not, though).

- when ordering a commission, please fill out the following form(if you order multipe, use multiple forms!):

type:
character reference: [stash/toyhouse/whatever links work too - the more references, the better!]
pose/expression:
background: [if none, just leave it out]
anything else: [maybe a color scheme, a song inspiration(i love to work with those) or special instructions relevant to the piece]

got tagged in this kinda thing by just-a-shade-of-grey and as i kinda enjoy talking about my characters, why not? (:
also, amalia's storyline is somewhat "finished" up until now, so i'll be able to tell some rather unknown/newer facts about her, too.

Rules:
1.Post all the rules.
2. Post 8 facts about your character.
3. Tag 8 other people.
4. Post the characters' names with their owners.


Amalia
Amalia Icy | Official Reference 2018 by joan-does-art

1. she was born in (future) stormclan, but always felt llike she didn't 'belong'. around age 17[human years] she left the clan, including her family who she had 'disconnected' from already, to go find a place on her own.

2. "amalia" is not her birthname, but icykit/icypaw. she renamed herself after she left stormclan. amalia kept the prefix "icy" as her last name, though.

3. she's constantly being surrounded by the ghosts/spirits of icy heart and icestar as they were supposed to be part of a prophecy, told a long time ago. the two have been with her all her life, initially to help her fulfill it, but turned more into kinda companions when amalia decided not to follow said prophecy.

4. amalia had a littermate named violetpaw. she died when they were around 11[human years], what lead to amalia losing more and more faith in her clan.

5. because of the rather harsh and turbulent family/clan life she grew up in, amalia is pretty emotional, and would often have sudden aggressions on things or cats because of minor things. she doesn't care about others noticing her sudden mood swings or feeling guilty because of it.

6. violy was her first and only real love. even though amalia broke her heart, she loved violy and deeply cared about her for the rest of her life.

7. amalia has a deep hatred of humans, as her father and a friend of hers from stormclan got TNRd and taken away by them.

8. even though she left behind her old life, family and nearly everything she grew up with, amalia never lost her strong faith in starclan and would often pray or ask them for help. she also believes the cats she lost/that died would go to starclan and that she'd see them again there as long as she didn't give up her faith.


sooooo that's it, basically,, had a lot of fun!! (:

also feel free to do this yourself, as i won't tag any people in specific O:
