~Murrahnithahn-i-ia
I make stuff, and I'm trying to make a business out of it! I created a business-page here on FA, so if you wish to commission me, please go here: alien~eyes~creations
Personal characters:
Murrahnithahn-i-ia: opal dragoness- gentle, reserved, can be painfully polite. Bows a lot, especially when embarrassed.
Mona Ratt: black and white fancy rat- very punky, grouchy and apparently Scottish until further notice.
Grayver Gryphon: purple, acid green and white gryphon- hokey, silly, over-the-top, and he can be obnoxious, but is really a big, floofy kitten at heart.
Miasma the skunk; uber Goth skunk girl who likes corsets, hairfalls, loud music, and being adorable.
Draw them, play with them, have fun being silly, even stupid, but please, if you wish to do so, note me and ASK, first, OK? If you DO get stupid- try not to be insulting to them (or, by extension, me), Murrah especially- she's special. <3
<3 May our love shine forever!
Something we should all have a listen to when we get too wrapped up in our own self-importance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86BPM1GV8M R.I.P: Carl Sagan, you were an amazingly intelligent man.
Other folks who've died in the last several years that I'll miss on the world-stage:
George Carlin, Sally Ride, Peter Steele, Anne McCaffrey, Satoshi Kon (anime director who did "Paprika" and other cool films), Douglas Adams, Arthur C. Clarke, Heath Ledger (what can I say? He was a good actor)...

So, I've been gone for too long, and I'm offering refunds...
6 years agoBasically, what happened was this:
My health took a serious nose-dive, and I'm in pain nearly every day to the point where concentrating on work is nearly impossible. Some nights, I crawl into bed half-way in tears because of it. The list of problems is long, as is the pharmacy of drugs I have to take these days. I laugh whenever I have to fill out yet another fucking form that asks for a detailed listing of the medications I have to take and the amount of space given is too small. Doctor after doctor, specialists and therapists, tests after tests after yet more tests, even physical therapy. I have an appointment for a neurologist tomorrow to see what can be done about the constant migraines, and another with a different specialist to have a probe go up my back door. Just to add icing onto the cake, I'm going through fucking menopause. Well, at least pregnancy will no longer be a worry.
Then, there was the trial of the Step-Monster. The first trip up had me so wound up in knots, I was having daily panic-attacks, nightmares about the Step-Monster, and nearly got an ulcer (the doc said I skated on that one. Yay?), and I even got hives for the first time in my life, ever, on my fucking face. Lovely, dealing with some of the scariest shit in my life and I need to look good for court, and I get to have a disfigurement to add to the already overwhelming anxiety load. The final event came a year ago--the full trial--and it was back to the nightmares, panics, stomach pain and vomiting. Oh? I didn't mention the puking? Yeah, there was that, too. So, I head up to Winnipeg again (why can't I go up there for fun? We have a nice little sci-fi convention that's been around for thirty-five years), preparing for the trial and all the ugly questions I'll have to answer without crisping the defence-lawyer, and land... only to find out the fucking shit managed to die before facing me and what he'd done. Literally the night before his first testimony. The court was trying to get a hold of me that night and the next morning to tell me the trial had to be cancelled, but I was still in flight. FUCK. In fact, the first anniversary of his demise will be coming up in two weeks...
And I got to learn that paralysing guilt is really a thing. I froze--yes, for seven years--I couldn't work, I couldn't make reasonable, rational decisions, I felt sick whenever I thought about it. And I retreated and hid. I know some folks might think, "So just do it! Face your responsibilities, ya lazy dragoness! Fucking get off yer ass and work!" Easy to say, not so easy to do, it turned out. One of the joys of having multiple issues associated with mental illness is that the things in life most people take for granted as shit we do on automatic pilot becomes a struggle: get out of bed, eat, remember what soap is for, have a conversation with your friends and loved ones in something other than a robotic monotone... doing your job...
So, I'm finally starting to accept that the commissions I'd agreed to are never going to get done. The guilt just got harder and harder to face as the time went on and the deadlines and dates I'd promised got further and further into the past. I couldn't go forward, so I just... stopped. It's something I never really believed in, a thing I only ever saw in books or movies, and here I am, thinking, "WTH!?"
The only solution I think is right, is to give everyone who ordered a commission from me a refund, my sincerest apologies, and to take any lumps from my customers they feel I de
