It's burd. You should definitely be a burd.

Burds are wonderful yes, but I am more like a penguin with back problems.

All this talk of bread just gave me a thought...
My dad works for a bakery company, and he brings home bread all the dang time. I can't remember the last time we've had to buy bread at the grocery store.
But...

Once my dad retires, where will we get our bread?

Will we have to... Buy it from the store?
Like normal people?
I'M NOT READY FOR THIS!

Calm down, Umbers. Lose yourself.

Besides, baking! Pinch a loaf or two.

Usually a dragon. Or a wolf. Or a hybrid of the two. Either way, you'll want to make it generic as hell and have no distinguishing features other than a ridiculous dong.

For some reason, every combination of 'wolf' and 'dragon' sounds like 'Dolph Lundgren' to me. Fuck I need to sleep.

What is this wonderful site...?
AND WHY IS BIG HERO 6 NOT ON IT- oh wait it's an oldish site. I'll allow it!

...Now I wanna watch Valiant.

You are awful and I love you.

Did someone say burd? That burd is the word?

@Sourdough make your sona thing an otter, of course! Bitches love cute things. And nothing can compare to an otter!

You've just reminded me that my cousin wants to cosplay as a cute character at next year's comic convention, just so he can get cute ladies to take pictures with him. :v

The skin on my hands is so dry that it's starting to split. No amount of lotion seems to help...

I hate winter.

I'm not the only one? This didn't start happening to me until recently. I solved this by applying some super healing moisturizer stuff and wearing cloth gloves when I go to sleep. Just make sure no one sees you do that, or you'll look insane.

Yeah, my hands always get this way in winter. They seem particularly bad this year... I keep reapplying some lotion but it doesn't seem to do a thing. I have been considering wearing gloves to help protect them better. I guess I should stop "considering" it and actually do it, my poor hands have gone on this way long enough! D:

...I flexed my hands and the skin on my knuckle split open. It feels like a papercut. :C I just wanted to hold a pencil so I could draw, is that so much to ask? ;-;

Yes! It is! As an artist, you must draw regardless of any pain. Girl, if I could draw with dry skin, paper cuts, and mutilation via cats; then you can do it too >:[

P.S: You should try to get yourself some super nice and natural, healing moisturiser! No skimping out! Also maybe pay attention to what's in the type you're using, 'cause your skin might be sensitive to an ingredient, or you could even be a bit allergic to something it has in it. I used to experience what you are myself, but I just switched the moisturiser I'd use so now it's all good... my hands are so smooth and soft  * ^ *

Oh, right - this sort of thing can also be caused by stress, though. Is Umbra stressed? D:

 That sounds awful! I must try harder then... I must be like my avatar, and RAGE through the pain! D:<

I do have a nice oatmeal moisturizer, doesn't irritate my skin at all (oatmeal face soap seems to have served me pretty well so far, too). So, I don't think it's that... I think what's going on is that I wash my hands too much, and might not dry them well enough... I also have a habit of using water that is too hot. : X

And huh, I've never heard of this being caused by stress! The more you know... I'm happy to report that I'm not all that stressed right now. If I was, I'd probably be getting acne as well! Not fun times.

(Since I don't have any gloves, I think I'll try out what @Lisek suggested tonight, but with socks. So much for not looking insane, right? .w.,)

One good thing I can say tonight: At least I've made some progress on my drawing!
Although I've just noticed that I forgot the character's tail. For a furry artist, I seem to forget those a lot lately. :I

I've done this more than I want to admit... I guess you just get so focused on the rest of the drawing, that the tail can become an afterthought.

1AM, sitting here, naked, unable to sleep because one cat keeps whining. x.x

Naked, you say? I got something in mind that you could do ~

Draw :v

Next thing you know, you'll start with the tail, and forget the head!

This reminds me of a character I used to draw when I was younger... Every time I drew him, I'd always forget something. Then when I finally remembered the thing I kept forgetting....I started forgetting to draw another thing. The cycle never ended! (Until I stopped drawing him, that is.)

I do believe that is what happened here. (I also tend to forget tails more on fluffy-tailed mammals more than on reptiles or otters though, I've noticed.)
Another thing I've noticed is that I tend to focus a lot on the faces in my drawings, and finish those first... Meanwhile, the rest of said drawing might still be barely sketched out. I keep doing this, I can't seem to stop myself. ;-;

That's because drawing faces is so fun! Aww, yeah. Love me some head shots and busts! 
Although it's honestly not a bad thing to focus on faces first, especially if that's the focus of the draw. But at least having basic bods sketched out helps a lot ...not that I do that so often, myself :[

The same thing happened with me describing Chaos in my story. I forgot to mention his most important marking, which is the chaos symbol on his chest.

If there's four euro in my account after rent and bills wipe it out, I'll eat for another week. Rice and beans! So basic, so life-sustaining.

Euros huh? Where're you from?

Do like me, don't draw tails at all. Way better like that! Tails only get in the way, I want to have full visibility on the ass

 

Edit: Pardon the double post, was expecting the site to merge them

Woops, forgot I had to hand in an assignment tomorrow. I'll have to finish it tonight instead.

Thankfully I've got most of it done because the teacher got us to write parts of it so she could look at them and tell us what to change, so the only bits I need to do are the first paragraph and the conclusion.

There is nothing more nerve wracking than someone commissioning me who draws light years and eons better than I do...

Well hey, they appreciate your work enough to actually want some of it specifically drawn for themselves. Whoever is commissioning the art from you cares more about the actual final piece than how much technical skill went into making it. That's something to not feel so nervous over. c:

Personally, I love being in these kinds of situations, in trying to impress someone way above your skill level,
because it really pushes you to improve and do well.

Some of my biggest leaps in skill level have been at the end of "I hope senpai notices me."
Even if it stresses me the fuck out at the time.

When you drew my fursona, you gave him a tail. Your argument is invalid.

That was different: it was how you chose to design your fursona so I rightfully had to respect your choice by drawing your character the way it is. What kind of request would it be if I started modifying other people's 'sonas to my liking? I was referring more to how I chose to design my own characters really. I wanna have full visibility on butts, I wanna witness 'em in their full glory!

Do you do other things while doing it? Like games or drinking?

Drinking yes, games no. Too difficult to hear over games. :[[[

We should totally do the drinking part in the near future! I won't be having many, mind you. But I got a hell of an empty friday coming up, unless I follow my dad to the pub or something.

It's been a very long time since we did drankcamera. Remember those tinychats from FAF's mood threads? Hazy times.

My Friday will depend on the next time I check my bank balance.

You know you like the group that pops in my video chat. :P

Yeah! I like to think I like most everybody here, even if we're not exactly friends, heh.

Do you cam with your gas mask on? I bet you do.

I would if it wasn't ancient and its filter wasn't probably full of the ashes of holocaust victims

very hazy indeed m80 because i didn't cam on those tinychats except maybe one occasion

i did go in for the text chat though, i kinda stopped coming when everyone used voice, it made it difficult qq

this is fun the few times I did t with a few people and despite being terminally awkward ended up being fun.

the awkwardness is part of the fun, i guess

funfun

I be dancin' !

Also - I've never voice chatted one-on-one with someone before, and the thought makes me beyond anxious :u

Dancing safely at that! I really do feel like dancing.

Maybe someday we can voice chat. Though I'm not sure the software could handle the double sexy accents.

Why? It's just like a phone call.

Answered your own question there. I don't like phones.
