Bit of an update, I have been "working" on my masters thesis which is why I have been fairly devoid from most internet worlds. By working I also mean that I have been putting off working by playing minecraft. So. Much. Minecraft. 1.9 update made it into a new game. A game which I enjoyed playing. Especially after spending 200 or so hours on Stardew Valley and having a hankering for building things.... *cough*

Now there are 7 days until my thesis is due.... only have a bit left! just have to write the introduction, methods, results, discussion, and conclusion! practically almost finished! hahaha. Degree here I come!

In other news, I had a bit of a mental breakdown at the beginning of the year in which my depression and anxiety sorta reached its apex and things were reallll bad for me for a couple months. However, after getting some help, I no longer wish to make stupid permanent decisions, and I am happier than I have been in yeeeaaaaarrrsss. So there's that crisis avoided =D

Not much else to update on. Obviously requests are at a standstill. May get back to them after the thesis has been handed in, but I do have to find somewhere to live and move out and renew my visa and potentially book plane tickets and also get about 15 different licenses and qualifications so I can do my second masters degree.... so yeah may be busy for a while

I shall be back! Eventually

Sorry to those that made requests that I didn't get to. My intensive snuck up on me and smothered my in a list of 144 articles to try to read before it, and then 9 days of horrible learning followed, 4 days of which were spent on field outings and 4 days were spent frantically trying to put together a 20 min presentation for the last day.

I lived, but have been beaten down and left with naught but 2 giant reports due within the next month or so.

Now, I am packing, cleaning, and wrapping stuff up in anticipation of a flight home in the next couple days. So very busy


I say this sorta flexibly, since I do have some free time. Unfortunately, a certain game has been consuming that endlessly. I finished a pacifist route in said game and have been currently (and for the last 8 hours of gameplay according to steam) getting the living shit kicked out of me by a certain pun-loving skeleton. It is hard to be determined when you get to the last move and die so many damn times. Needless to say, I am having a bad time, and will continue to have my free time consumed until I finish what I have started.

Cryptic mentions of Undertale aside, I will be getting to requests again (ish) once I am home. Surprisingly enough, I will be putting family-time first so the speed may be reduced.



Remember folks, if you are making a request you HAVE to give me a series and preferably a character you want it of. Please, just jump right into what you want and how you want it! Having to wait for back and forth communication as you decide what you want and how is a 100% guarantee for making me forget about it.
 If you can find a render for me (i.e. a pic that you want me to use with the background removed) then that will make everything quicker!

Fun times have been had in my short break. Mostly boring times. Kinda wish I had friends in the area. Or in the country... meh

Now I have but 3 days left in my short break before the intensive. It is called an intensive because it is a full 1 term course compressed into 10 days. 10 days of hell and sadness. It turns out that this is technically the last course I will ever take as part of a degree (assuming I don't do another degree by coursework later in my life).

Btw, I am still taking requests!

I am in a sort of meh-mode and don't really have anything I reeealllyy want to make. Well actually, that is a lie in a ways, I want to make something with a certain pair of skeleton siblings despite never playing the game they are from. Unfortunately the official art in the game they are fun is not conducive to wallpaper-making. Thus my block, and desire for requests.
Please make sure there are images I can use to make the wallpaper with before requesting though!

So if you read my boring journal, or have seen my last entry, you may have known that I damaged my right hand a bit by poking a giant hole in my median nerve with a broken plate. After a surgery, the flu immediately after surgery, sympathetic dystrophy causing my fingers to swell and my nails to stop growing, chronic paraethesia in my thumb, and several frustrating months of trying to keep up with school and hold a pencil, I have come to this amazing state! The state being very little recovery, still unable to move thumb properly or feel half my hand. So doctor dude told me that I have to be very patient, and if nothing happens in the next several months, I may need to re-position a tendon to take over the work of muscle that doesn't work anymore.

I am in for the long haul for waiting for my hand to recover, but I have been practising and have determined new ways to get around injury and thus make a triumphant, albeit very slow, return to wallpaper-making. (Sherlock by SHINee plays in the distance)

Now for the more important part that actually concerns what people probs follow me for which is wallpapers

I haven't kept up with this past seasons' anime so I have noooo idea what is good or bad or what is up with anything.

SO here's my issue. I want to make wallpaper, but I do not know what I want to make wallpaper of. Thus far I have some random renders I looked up on deviant art for random series/characters. May play with some of them.

If anyone reading this has ANY kind of request for a character/series to do, go ahead and request it. I am off university until November 27th, I have no friends here and nothing to do with my life, so now is your best bet for making a request and getting it done. 

If you submit a render (preferred) or any image, make sure images are within wallpaper size
(bigger the image = more likely to get HD wallpaper)
Smaller images are cool if you want a signature/banner.
Feel free to either comment here or message me or leave a note or whatever this site calls it.

Requests or not, expect several "random people" wallpaper.

So I will be going on long hiatus probably. Here is the story behind it, warning contains some mentions of blood and bleghh

So I had a huge bout of deadlines for uni that I was dealing with, leading to a temporary hiatus...

And then 2 nights ago I had only two assignments left and was doing dishes, ready to finish one of my last assignments... And I dropped a tempered glass plate onto the counter. I put my hand out to catch it and it basically exploded into my hand. Glass went everywhere and there was pain in my hand. I look and a 1/2 inch thin shard of glass was sticking out of my lower palm. I pull it out, and realized that the shard was actually 2 inches, the rest was just embedded in my hand. Some swearing, me holding a dish cloth to my bleeding palm and sitting at the kitchen table ensued.

After the pain, imminent fainting/vomiting, sweaty shaking stopped I began searching google for when someone should go to the hospital for wounds, but then I noticed it wasn't bleeding thaaat much so I was totally fine... and then I noticed that my thumb had gone completely numb and was probs not fine.

A trip to the emergency ward, an xray for loose glass, and a lot of time in waiting rooms had a nurse saying my symptoms didn't make sense and there was probably nothing wrong, just some swelling pressing on a nerve, it would go down on its own and there was nothing to worry about but she would tell the orthopaedic ward to give me a check up later. she gave me a bandaid and sent me home.

Morning after, orthopaedic appointment led to doctor telling me that I had a textbook case of severing a nerve which leads to index finger and thumb. Basically I can potentially have permanent nerve damage, but they are going to perform some fancy hand surgery tomorrow morning to try to repair what they can and hopefully things will work out well. Recovery will take some time, potentially in the several months range....


So yeah. My right hand is out of commission for some unknown time. Digital art making would be highly difficult like this. Sooo hiatus upcoming! who knows how long! yaaayyy...
