@wildfire: Mango chicken tacos/burritos!? :o
I've never heard such combination!

Awee I can relate, I have one big eater twin brother on my family lel
I'm doing good actually. It feels awesome when you finish an artwork your very proud of or really like

@Purpsy: mango salsa with shredded chicken, tortillas / taco shells, lettuce, onion, etc. and corn on the cob. It was a good dinner - or at least that's what my guys told me (and I liked it). I may even use the mango salsa on the salmon I'm planning to cook tonight, but we'll see...

Yes, finishing a piece of art is always a good feeling and it's even better when you like the piece! Is it something you can share?

@Wildfire: Oh gawd your making me haaangrrryyy =q=
That sounds so delicious!

Soo true! And your already looking at it~
I've drawn this specifically for my fall theme post style but I might post it on my socials sometime later.

@Purpsy: lol <3 If you weren't on the other side of the Continent, I'd invite you to dinner! XD

I was wondering if your new post graphic was what you were referencing - it's very cute! :3 <3

My art is not cooperating with me today. My eyes feel a little strained and I'm a little tired - not the best combination if you're trying to do digital art - lol! I might just shelve it and try again tomorrow to do some work.

@Purpsy: your avatar is so Fall/Autumn! I love it. <3 Makes me wanna decorate my house for the season. Inspiration! <3


@Wildfire: oh gosh! I love sweet potatoes! <3
I'm over here wishing I had shorts and tank tops I could wear. Too cold for tank tops, too hot for hoodies.

@Wildfire: Awwweeee that would be nice TwT
Thanks! Yep is honestly fun drawing post styles. If I stop procrastinating and create my art shop here already, I might sell some of them here ^^
I wonder if that's a thing here already...

Yeah I get what you mean :/
That was practically me last week then I took a weekend off and by monday I felt ready to draw again. Definitely put yourself and your health first!

@Koah: lol - always want what we don't have, huh? XD Today was actually cooler than it has been lately, so that's good... but it's still hot.
Oh good - I'm glad you like sweet potatoes - they are so versatile! maybe you can find some recipes with them that you can eat or snack on? <3



@Purpsy: Yeah, I can't work on my art stuff right now - there's just too much glare on my screen that is giving me some eyestrain. We really have to reorganize this room now that hubby is working from home FT and permanently.

You should open a shop. I could definitely use something more interesting for a post style than my little clipart banner XD Too bad I'm broke now from the stupid orbs that gave me a gazillion pair of the witch's boots and not much else...

@Koah: Thanks! I might add one more item for this one to be complete! That mushroom item from the recent common orb fall might be the perfect fit :3

Yeah ugh I feel you, for some reason I feel more festive for fall season this year.

@Wildfire: Ahh I see, is better to get that done so you'll have no worries drawing next time.
Yeah I know... I'm just... lazy and hesitant about it right now. I'll get around it umm eventually xDD

@Purpsy: Yeah, we really need to do something about this room. There's just so much junk in it right now, it's not necessarily a simple couple-hour-long project (some important files that need a new home, etc., and too many musical instruments!) but maybe we'll try tackling it this weekend.

@Wildfire: Yep then you got a fresh new week to work on your art and other stuff ^^

Voltie Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/09/23 20:00:38 )
@Purpsy: yeah, that would be nice to start fresh, without the eye strain. This needs to be done before the 1st though... But I've given up trying to work on it today- my eyes are killing me. I've actually left the room and am now hanging out with my phone.

I understand about the "being lazy" in opening a shop btw- it's a big investment of time and attention!- but I don't think you're being lazy... Just careful maybe

@Wildfire: That sucks :/
I hope you lower the brightness on your phone maybe it would help? Or don't use it very often.

Yeah I'm somewhat careful. Is not the first I create an art shop before. I remember it being very time consuming and dealing with quite troublesome customers. But it was overall not that bad. I'm just not sure I'll fully commit to it yet.

@Purpsy: The new fall items are adorable. :3 I got 3 orbs, witch boots, eyes, and .. a lamp stick thing.
I'm totally loving the fall/autumn decor this year. I feel like the last few years have been swallowed up by Halloween decor. Especially Nightmare before Christmas-themed stuff.
I might go to the store and get some fall stuff, or make some stuff to decorate my door or something. C:


@Wildfire: My summer was a bit stressful, so I didn't do enough outdoor stuff on the days that I should have. So I need to be patient until next summer and make sure to do more outdoorsie things. C:
But I'm glad that I had a good first garden year. My zucchinis and strawberries didn't do well. I just need to plant them somewhere else next year and give them another shot then.

@Purpsy: I understand completely. There are reasons why I don't push doing my art on sites like this...

Yeah, lowering the brightness on my phone might help but just getting off the computer where hubby's lights for video calls were bouncing off my screen is helping enormously...

@Koah: What was it about this summer? It sucked! /Annoyed/ lol! Maybe next summer will be better.

I've pretty much given up trying to garden here- it's too... Everything! Too hot. Too rainy. Too sandy. Too dry. And my garden is the only place the grass seems to want to consistently grow! XD. It sounds like you're well on your way to having a successful garden though. I think half the fight of gardening is trial and error...

@Koah: I haven't bought the orbs but I always look forward for unique set items ٩(๑^o^๑)۶

True, fall is very much under-appreciated. I just really love the colour scheme and aesthetics of fall. But have fun with the decorating!

@Wildfire: I see is your eyes better now?
Mhm but I think setting up an art shop here won't be too bad. People are generally really nice here compared to Gaia Online.

Voltie Posted 3 years ago ( 2021/09/23 21:07:24 )
@Purpsy: Gaia is it's own beast. I haven't even looked at that site in probably a decade. I'm sure my accounts have been confiscated/frozen/something by now. It was always the lowest common denominator of people... kids, really... which is unfortunate. Yes, everyone here is nice but having an active art shop is still an investment of time and energy. At least here, people would be more likely to understand if you needed to limit the commissions you accept, or if you need a break, or something...

@Wildfire: You said the words right out of my mouth. But it was truly fun while it lasted, back when I was young and didn't know any better. Ended some friendships terribly there too.

I'm fortunate I haven't dealt a lot of terrible customers there, just honestly some sketchy ones the often ghosted me midway working on their commissions. Also made a rookie mistakes of sending them the art first before them paying... Which led to ghosting ugh ( -᷅_-᷄)

Switching here is a big game changer.
