Some External Hard Drive Problems
Posted a year agoOk I think it's important to give an update to my problem here
I think my external hard drive is failing on me. How do I know? It's giving me a beeping sound from when I plug it in. I searched up the problem and seems like my hard drive is starting to fail on me, which is kinda bad.
How old is it?
Well I bought this while I was in college, and I graduated college in 2014. I don't remember exactly when I bought it, but I know it was over 10 years ago.
When did this problem started?
Today. Some hours ago. It was on my desk in its normal spot but some water got onto it. Didn't get drenched but it was on top of it. I was working afterwards but started to give that beeping problem soon after. Tried to restart my laptop and unplug and replug the cable to see if that would help. It helped a few times but now its just beeping for a few seconds til it stops. My laptop doesn't recognize it when its beeping.
How bad will this affect your art?
I think none so far but I have good news and bad news on that.
Good news is that I can normally work on my art without the hard drive
Bad news is that I cannot access my drive for any of my references and art that's stored on the drive, or any other stuff that's on my hard drive. Plus my list of people that have asked me for a commission when their turn is next x.x
So yeah, so far it sounds like I need to either figure out who can fix my hard drive nearby and think about getting myself a new hard drive to safety precautions, just to make sure if the current hard drive does gets fixed but on a short lifespan after that. I really do hope that I recover my files cause if I cannot, I can say goodbye to all of my art I've saved and gift art I've recieved x.x;

Sharing my other medias
Posted a year ago1. No I'm not leaving FA
2. I have made a Telegram channel for my art some time ago. Just never really said much about it publicly
3. Also made an Itaku account. I may upload new art there
Itaku - https://itaku.ee/profile/marquis2007
https://linktr.ee/Marquis2007 - link to all my other accounts if you wish to follow me ^^
I wonder if I should start to upload new art to my FurryNetwork and return to uploading on my PillowFort again. I think I should at some point

Commission Updates
Posted 4 years agoHello everyone. Just a short update on the current commissions I have on hand
So far I'm being slow on commission work as of late for 2 reasons, which one is kinda no reason while the other is more of a good reason x.x;
1. The less important reason: Animal Crossing New Horizons! DAMN!!! This game have me hooked so much since getting it x3x
Hopefully since I got Nook's Cranny now and it closes around 10PM, I can actually stop playing and get back to work with these commissions cause this is no excuse for me to be lacking x3x;;;
2. The more important reason: Lawn care have started up again for me. Normally I would wake up and get to work on commissions but now that I'm back to working on yards in my neighborhood (yes even through this Corona Virus pandemic) I still got to work to pay bills. Corona Virus isn't going to help with that ><
So far, I will continue to do commissions but at a slow pace now, so I greatly apologize for the 4 ppl who are currently awaiting for a commission from me and I also apologize on those who have asked me recently that are on my list. I will get my butt in gear and get to work when I can x3x
That's all I need to announce. Thanks for your time. Have a good day~

On second thought...
Posted 5 years agoAfter seeing some other journals about the potential cons of the Shiny system, I'm going to disable mine and see how things play out later
Shinies? FA has Shinies?
Posted 5 years agoJust saw the news about shinies on FA, which is ability to donate to your favorite artists.
Huh... kinda neat. And I was thinking about creating a Ko-Fi at some point instead of a Patreon, but was really unsure x3x;
I enabled mine, so feel free. All up to you =3

Updates: House Moving and Commission Status
Posted 5 years agoSorry for being super quiet for the pass few days x3x
The reason of being so quiet over the days is cause I was busy doing some house moving. Who's moving? My mom & I did, that's who! Along with a friend of my mom's XD
But yeah we officially moved to a new house. We've been living in the old house for about 30 years that my late grandmother was staying in for a long while. It was getting worse and worse as time passed, and even my grandmother wanted to move, but she couldn't due to some problems she had. We didn't really want to fix up the house cause it would cost us more money just to fix up the building problems that has been growing for over 30 years. But now since some updates for my mom was able to capitalize on, we finally done it, and it was long overdue~
How's the new house? LARGER (not that larger hehe) than what the previous house was. We went from a house that had only one bedroom, living room, kitchen, and 1 bathroom to a house that has a living room, dining room, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, and 1 bathroom. Oh and a larger backyard than what we had, so our dogs have more room to move around than before. Also we have all of our utilities up in the new house: water, lights, gas, garbage, and internet =3
Now that we are settled (still got some stuff to finish setting up though) I can get back to work on commissions, though I will be juggling art commissions with my lawn care service. Right now I have a big comic commission to work on currently so I will be abit slow on progress with that. As for those on my current list, I will be taking AT LEAST 1 at a time for now so I can go down the list quicker. If I have you on my list and you wish to commission more than 1 picture from me, don't worry, I can re-add you back to the commission list. I just need to work on one picture per commissioner at a time to be more convenient ^^
Also I do have 3 commission pics to upload that I haven't done yet, so I will get to that after posting this journal. Sorry for the inconvenience ^^;;;;
So that's it for updates: House moving and commission status between lawn care.
Thanks for reading. Cyas ^^

Updates!
Posted 5 years agoHello. Been a month since my last journal. Most of you know I'm bad with updating on journals x3x;
Well my updates are this...
Electricity is on at home for 3 weeks so far hehe
I know have internet back at home, so no more relying on libraries now ^^
My house is back to the way it was 5 years ago X3
Thanks to a few friends that helped with this cause that I really needed =D
Sadly it came with some negative effects, namely my fridge and freezer x-x
Fridge works but not getting cold at all, just blowing air. Just surprised that it comes on at all for being off for 5 years
Freezer not even coming on at all
I will have to see if they can get fixed, or just buy a new one instead
Well that is all ^-^

Disappointing update, though don't want to give up!
Posted 5 years agoOk so I got some disappointing news regarding my last journal. Not really extreme bad news but its more like a speed bump in my progress for restoring electricity x-x
Apparently the electrician was set to get the permit yesterday, but there was a snag. He told me that City Hall cannot issue a permit until a garbage tax was paid. I had to go and check it out today in the morning (window was only open from 8AM to 12PM). and here's the speed bump that ruined the day for me, abit...
I have to pay a $1000 garbage tax in order to get a permit issued to my house... SHIT!!! And progress was going so well too x-x
Every time I'm a few steps ahead, I'm set back about 10 or more...
DAMNIT!!! I don't want to give up! This permit is the next thing in deciding for my lights to be okay-ed by the inspector to come back on and I need it!
I'm going to need to start working heavily again and saving my money. The money I do have was for me to pay the other half for the permit (before knowing about the garbage tax price) and getting my clothes washed (I literally need them x-x)
That's all. Have a nice day

Electricity & Commission Update
Posted 6 years agoAbout the electricity being restored back at home....
It's coming along nicely! So far last Friday July 27th, the electrician came out and installed new service wire along with another better meter box, outdoor breaker box, and indoor breaker box for the $1000 that he charged for. We really needed that indoor breaker box to be replaced really badly x3x;;;
So far, we are currently waiting for the permit. It was charged for $425. I've paid $210 to him on Tuesday July 31st. Once he bring's the permit back to us, I will pay the other half of $215 and he can go ahead and call the inspector to see the stance on that. This was his idea to pay half now then half later. He has given me a receipt on both occasions of the electric work and permit ^^
Once we get the permit and the electrical inspector approves the work, he will give the OK to Alabama Power to cut our lights on. I will have to worry about the deposit after that. I don't remember if it was $250 or $220 to get them cut on. Then after that, I'll have to call the electrician to discuss the payment on the electrical plugs in the house. I don't want to use those old plugs with old wiring to them. The house is old so it's best to be safe than sorry x3x
As for commissions, I think I'll be temporarily closed until the college library opens back up to normal hours (which is closing at 12AM), which will probably be until Monday August 13th. With that extra time, I can dedicate to commissions than trying to do so with the public library closing at 5PM and no work at all on weekends, plus some times where I'm busy cutting yards and I have to skip the library for that day. If I do accept a commission between now and then, it will have to be a quick one to do with the limited time I got x-x
You see why I want my power restored, so that I can not worry about no way to work plus not worry about losing time due to libraries closing on holidays, certain events, or busy with lawncare x3x
That's the update for now. Thanks for reading =3

Update about commissions and other news
Posted 5 years agoWow a journal from me? How sudden lol
Ok let's get to what I came here to explain
I know a few of you all have asked me about a commission (including some that asked when I was still working on that comic I've submitted. Don't worry, I'm still going down that list).
Q. Why am I being so slow on commissions lately?
A. Here's the answer. I'm working on commissions at the public and college libraries. Plus working on yards that cut my time away from the public library if rain suddenly gets in the way during the weekends. UGH!!!! x-x;
Q. Why are you working your commissions at the library? Can't you work on them at home?
A. No, I cant work on them at home. Why? I have no electricity to even turn my laptop on x-x
As some of you may remember or forgotten. I haven't had electricity at home for 5 years since February 2013 (I have made journals about it before). BUT THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE!!!!!!
I wanted to surprise you all about it when it actually happened and the lights were officially fixed and turned on, but I guess it's best to explain now. I decided to finally locate an electrician to help with our problem. My mom and I decided to just get the wiring of our house rewired completely (we live in a small house) because that wiring is super old and we also have an outdated fusebox that needs to be replaced. Though later I decided that if we get an electrician, we don't need him to even try and gut the walls to get to the old wiring. It would be better to just get a new fusebox and place some electrical outlets in the kitchen, living room, and bedroom. We also need to lower out meter too.
Q. Did you find an electrician?
A. Yes we did. He already gave us a price of $1000 to work on things we need for the house
Also we have the money thanks to a couple of friends of mine, myself, and my mom before near the end of June
Friend 1 - $400 (donated)
Friend 2 - $200 (donated)
Myself - $200 (working on yards)
My mom - $200 (given to help)
So what's taking so long? The electrician was looking for a person that can do a cheaper permit to work on our house that goes with the asking price of $1000 he asked to work on the problem. He still haven't came around yet and we are still keeping in contact (and no we didn't pay him YET!!!). I do understand that he also has work he has to do, though it would be nice to put us on his schedule. If he doesn't fulfill this promise for this work, we may need to find another electrician, but the problem to that is that they might charge more than what he charged. I really wanted this to be done before August rolls in. No reason why before August. I just want them on. It's been 5 years and I'm sick of it now x-x;;;
I'm dead serious on getting our lights back on so I can no longer worry about not able to do commissions when the libraries are closed, especially during major holidays, plus don't have to worry about going to other places to charge my phone and such where I can stay at home and do that
Again I wanted to surprise you all with this news but it's better to give you all a heads up
Thanks for the time to read this. Hopefully my electricity will be back on and I can finally stop worrying about having overdue commissions and having people waiting so long x-x

Opening 3 Commissions Slots!!!
Posted 6 years agoI was planning on opening commissions in this month but I guess I choose a slightly bad time in doing so, due to having some lingering ideas of my own to get out first ^^;
Also to the fact that next week is Thanksgiving week, meaning that both the college library and the public library will be closed for a while during that week. Same situation at home with no electricity so I'm not going to fully open up my commissions like I did before. I'm going to set up slots to be easy on on myself and not have a long list of commissions for people to wait on for weeks x-x
So I will be opening up just 3 commission slots just for now so I can work during this week

Update On Art Status
Posted 7 years agoHey everyone! Just wanted to make a quick message concerning about my art status.
I know most of you know that I went on a bit of a break on commissions. To be honest, I really needed this break compared to the other small breaks that I took, which is mostly due to the libraries that I go to closing up for holidays or whatever. This is the first break that I've had in a long time where I had finished all of the commissions that I've had on hand on the current time, and that feels wonderful. It even give me a chance to work on something for myself, which I haven't done a whole lot these days, though I'm really not complaining when I don't have any good ideas to fall into my head, besides fan art and gifts.
Reason why I went on a long break (closing up to 2 months it seems) is because of how my last batch of commissions was kinda handled. I didn't expect that those commissions were going to be backlogged to heavily like it did. I didn't want to let that happen again. The last time that something similar happened is when I use to take requests several years ago, and that was getting out of hand quickly x-x
I don't want that to happen again. I normally work at a steady pace to keep up with the current ones I had on hand, plus with incoming ones too. So, I don't want to have you all to wait over a month for your commissions to be finished ^^;
Don't worry, I'll open commissions sometime soon. When that will be, I'm not sure but I'll make another journal about it or upload a pic mentioning that I'm open again =3
Thank you for your patience ^^
Have a wonderful day =3

Spring Break Updates to commissions
Posted 7 years agoThis is just a heads up to the following week. Commissions will be somewhat slow for the following week since it's Spring Break, so I maybe busy during that week. I dont have anything planned though nothing really special going on for me.
College will be closed throughout that week so I just have the public library to go to, but again, I may be busy on certain days. I will be back into the swing of things, such as back to work on commissions when Spring Break is over and the college is back open again (which is until Monday, April 3rd).
So temporarily I will close down commissions for the following week for any new commissions coming my way. I do appreciate you all for commissioning me. It has kept me quite busy for the past few weeks working at my own pace =3
Also most importantly, thank you for your patience ^-^
I may open back up after the week or after clearing the current list I have (probably the latter).
That's all for now =3

So temporarily I will close down commissions for the following week for any new commissions coming my way. I do appreciate you all for commissioning me. It has kept me quite busy for the past few weeks working at my own pace =3
Also most importantly, thank you for your patience ^-^
I may open back up after the week or after clearing the current list I have (probably the latter).
That's all for now =3
Quick Updates and Birthday Thanks
Posted 7 years agoJust letting you all know that college will be closing up so I'll be at my public library working on the current commissions, so work will be abit slow til next month. Just will be working between 9AM to 5PM on Mondays through Fridays but closed on weekends. Not exactly sure if I should except more commissions throughout this time but if I do, it will be a tad slow due to clearing messages out before I work x3x;
Also I want to thank everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes from yesterday! So much thanks to you all <3
That's all for now, cya laters =D

Thanksgiving updates
Posted 7 years agoHey there everyone. Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving =3
Also quick updates about the current commissions I have on the list. They will be on hold until this Monday. Since Thanksgiving is upon us, I'm in a position where I can't work on them. In other words, both public and college libraries are both closed until Monday. I will be back to work on them when that day comes.
That's it for now. I'll cya til then =3

Quick Announcement to All current Commissioners
Posted 8 years agoI have some good news and some slight bad news.
GOOD NEWS: I have all commissions sketched and ready to be viewed =3
SLIGHT BAD NEWS: Why haven't you all seen them yet? Well at my college, one of the buildings that has the mainframe and where the main area of the connection is broadcast has been hit by a storm. The connection is still up but internet has been down for 4 days. I have no idea when they will have internet back up and running. I had asked about it today, when I thought the connection was being faulty as always, but I was wrong.
What does this mean to you? Well the only way I can stay in contact is during the day and after I return home from the library after closing. I will be using my iPod to be in contact via friend's wifi connection. It sucks for me but at least I can work on commissions to pass the time of doing nothing & waiting for the internet to be fixed at the college. Upside is that I don't have to worry about distractions from artwork hehe
I will try and note all the current commissioners on my current list their sketches to check if they need edits. For those who think that the sketch is fine, I will get to work on finishing it. As for the ones that think the sketch need edits, I will make the necessary edits as needed but I can only show the updated sketch on the next day when I'm at home via friend's wifi until the college connection is fixed.
I can hop onto my laptop to check and clear messages, but thanks to the electrical problem at my own house (yes I still don't have electricity at home), I can only stay on as long as the battery holds out (which is about 20 to 40 mins on battery life when running Google Chrome). At least it's enough for Dropbox to connect and update on my iPod to share the sketches with their respective commissioner.
That's all of the news. Just will hold out when the connection is fixed at the college. Thank you for your patience ^^

Quick notice
Posted 8 years agoThis has been brought to my attention, not just once but twice. I have been noted by the same person here on FA about them getting some people trying to privately sexually RP with them due to the fact that I fav a pic that's just about fursuit paws that the person have made and they're searching through my favorites.
They say that it's not ok, and to be very honest, I agree with them 100%.
Of course it's no secret that I like paws, both in artwork and fursuits, but to those who are searching through my favs just to try and rp with the artist when they don't want to or not looking for that kind of attention, please kindly stop. Those are no friends of mine.
It is not my intentions to send people towards their work to try and sexually RP with them, and I certainly do not want to do that either.
I do search for content that I like via FA's search engine each day but if its bringing unwanted attention towards you and you do not like it, kindly block them and dont give them any time that you want to waste.
If it happens soon after I fav something from you or it happend several times before, I am truly sorry. I do not want to bring any negative attention your way. Once again, just block them without hesitation.
If the unwanted negative attention bothers you heavily due to me faving your work (artwork or fursuit creations), go ahead and block me too. Why do you want to block me? Two reasons why:
1. I don't know who is bringing negative intentions towards you and your work, like trying to sexually rp with you when you dont want that kind of attention
2. You dont have to worry about me anymore about faving your work that's causing this unwanted negative attention to come your way. It is never my intentions to do so.
Thank you for your time

Quick update about Spring Break, commissions, & trades[Edit]
Posted 8 years agoWell due to the weather today, I probably expect that the college library will be closed today. Also starting tomorrow being Good Friday here, I wont be online much via laptop due to Spring Break coming up on the following week.
As for any new commissions and also current commissions, I can still continue to work on new ones cause I will be over my cousin's house in the meantime. Hopefully my friend's wifi doesn't cut off on me at a bad time during the week cause I can still stay in contact via iPod and his WiFi. It does happen sometimes x3x;
As for any art trades, I know people have been asking about them. I want to say that I still like to do art trades every-once-in-a-while. I don't want to be overworked with them between commissions. I do accept then one-at-a-time so I don't feel too worked up on them, mostly between commissions when waiting feedback or on my free time when I'm clear from commissions. Please note that I cannot take every trade opportunity that comes along or those who ask at certain times. Really don't want to burn myself out with too much work ^^;
Well thats it for updates for the following week =3
Edit - Well I was wrong on the library being closed today but the weather situation is still kind the same but not bad here, so I will be able to continue work on the current commissions I have, unless the library closes early tonight.
As for the rest of of the info I mentioned, still the same ^^

Possible Job Opportunity
Posted 8 years agoI had mentioned this via Twitter that I would explain so here I go X3
My mom and I were watching the last football home game at my college Saturday night. Before we left, we stayed for abit to listen to the small concert band the president had at the balcony of the library. My mom left to the restroom then came back and join in to dance with the small few that were doing the electric slide.
When that was over, I was ready to head back home, though my mom wanted to speak with the president really quick. She mentioned to him that I wanted to get a job out there at the college (reason is that I lack transportation to get to other better places, also don't own a car, don't have a driver's license, and not reliable friends to take me back and forth to look for jobs other than here x-x; ) cause its close to home and in walking distance. I walk to college in about 10 mins walking speed.
He mentioned that he could be able to help me out getting a job, so hopefully with his help, I will be able to get a job here at the college =D
I have applied for a spot at the library twice when I heard there was an open spot from the attendance that were willing to help me get it. I sent my resume to the head of the library some months back but no luck. During the summer semester, the spot was open again and I applied for it again but sending it to the head of IT. Again, didnt get it.
Later during one of the home games, my mom got to see her friend she use to work with at the college. We mentioned about me getting a job at the college and she was willing to help, but she came up short due to telling me that they are hiring the students that have high bills and wanting to clear them.
I still didn't give up hope on working at the college to at least get on my feet with my first job.
Well continuing with the small story from Saturday night, She was speaking to the president and he told me that he was willing to help. All I had to do was send my information to his email.
Though he ask for a requirement from my mother. That requirement was to dance with him during the small concert. He also had me to dance with the First Lady (his wife that is) too. Nervous and I was I tried to deny request but he insisted. So I danced with her while I feel like I'm dancing on two left feet. I never felt so nervous x3x;;;;
So yeah, thats the story. My mom is overjoyed by the news. I felt nervous for a while. I have sent my resume to the president, and I am now playing the waiting game since he will possibly see it tomorrow on Monday.
Again, I sent my resume to the head of the library, then the head of IT department, then a good friend of my mom, and now the president of the college himself.
I do hope he can help me out. I'm praying for this miracle <3

Question for the Apple Techs
Posted 8 years agoI have seen tweets about the new iOS 9 going around so I somewhat know about it coming out today
I've been thinking about saving up to get a iPod 5th or 6th Gen iPod 32GB at some point to update from my 3rd and 4th Gen iPods I currently use. Reason why is that I use my 3rd Gen for my music and my 4th Gen for video watching and checking my messages and what not.
Technical problems is that my 3rd Gen likes to glitch when I insert my headphones and randomly plays the song, fast forwards it, or randomly pull up voice control. Its really getting annoying at times x-x;
As for my 4th Gen, it tends to crash at times when too much is going on, and I normally use that for Youtube, Twitter, Facebook (alittle cause it loads like a brick at times), messages, etc. Again its annoying with the crashes when on Youtube, Twitter, or sometimes on Safari. Also cant do much to upgrade to the new stuff sticking with the old iOS when it will no longer be supported x-x;
My general use will be for MP3, video watching, and message checking (mainly). Nothing outrageous.
My question is this: Is it wise to look into buying a 5th or 6th Gen iPod right now or should I wait later? Even though the new iOS 9 is out now and some like to wait just because of bugs and whatnot, I just want to know if its a wise / smart choice to invest into one sooner or later.

My thoughts on FA Gallery Folders
Posted 8 years agoThey are quite useful in my opinion. Very very similar to how DA uses their folder system in artists galleries. Its a great way to keep your art organized in separate folders, like commissions, trades, gifts done for other ppl, gifts done for you, your own concepts, etc. I think you get the point X3
I really do like the new folder system since I'm already use to it from using DeviantART so much =3
Now it would be useful if the message system start stacking the image into groups based on the artists submitting them, just like DeviantART. Makes it abit easier and trim down on massive submission count all at once X3
For example: I submit about 10 pictures in the spand of one day but its scattered all in ppls submission messages with 20 messages or more but with the stacks, those 10 submissions I submitted here can be stacked into one solid message, though click the message and you easily see all the submissions based on I uploaded =3
If you have a DeviantART account, you know what I'm taking about. Its called stacks (ironically lol)
Well those are my thoughts for the FA gallery folders =3
If there are folders for the Favorites, I dare not even mess with them for me cause I have way too many favs XD x3x;

Commissions Heads Up
Posted 8 years agoI'm letting you all know that commissions will be worked on BUT I wont accept new commissions UNTIL next Monday
Once again, college library is closed for this week, though this is the first week before the Fall Semester starts on the 17th of August, so this is pretty much orientation week I guess
I can now be online via laptop BUT only for about an hour to check messages and what not. Remember I only be online as long as my battery last (I have 2 batteries due to my very first one not working very well like it use too, so I use the better battery for going online on my friend's wifi which conveniently can reach my house)
As for charging my laptop and working on commissions, I will be doing that over my cousin's house but no internet. Good time for me to focus on sketching up the last remaining commissions I have on my list (except one due to not enough details that is specifically wanted in the commission or still deciding)
So yeah, just a quick heads up. Possibly I will be able to at least upload the new ones I've already finished since they are cleared for submission =3
I do apologize for the inconvenience. Being at home with the situation I'm still going through isn't easy with me trying to keep work on commissions x-x
Things have changed about my situation at my house but still have hurdles to get over ^^;
Thanks for your patience =3
