Xaos-Wolf

Heya gang!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, you guys and gals are the greatest. <3
Was away in New Zealand during it so there was pretty much zero internet to access without buying it.

And now for an apology for not being around for like 8 months. Medical stuff knocked me out for a few months and then just started catching up with things I wasn't able to do.
An theres still one more operation to go to fix an incisional hernia from the last one! Once thats out of the way I can settle back in to some normalcy and put something on here again for people to (hopefully) enjoy.

Til then, go play DOOM or something.

Still alive and kicking!

Had some pretty serious medical stuff happen at the end of EGX and then spent the rest of October convalescing.
Long story short: Most people come back from a convention with con flu, I came back with Crohn's Disease and a chunk of me cut out...

But dammit I missed out on any Halloween artwork. D=

PS: NYEH HEH HEH!!

Finally got my La-Mulana thinger all finished! Go download it now, even if you don't own the game!
Sorry I've not updated in ages. Really no excuse, just been playing games and being lazy inbetween work shifts.

Will give recommendations for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate if you have a 3DS, same goes for Majora's Mask 3D. (One of the best Zelda games out there)
On the PC side of things, I recommend Besiege and Catacomb Kids, and One Finger Death Punch which I just got round to actually trying out.

I'll keep you guys posted. Really should at least be typing up a Journal even without artwork.
I can just gush about the things keeping me away from drawing stuff - Video Games. =3

After a brief exchange between me and DanSyron, I ended up making a Crypt of the NecroDancer for his wonderfully music-based Syron the Fox.
He thought I'd be able to set these up as something people could commission, alongside my other avatars. (This list will grow as I get the time to put ideas down)

Now, I'd love to set these up for purchase via dA Points, but currently there's a few reasons why that isn't feasible:
1) Each of these takes time to customise and animate, so the minimum price would be a fiver (£5 = $8~ right now)
2) Conversely they would have to be 768 dA Points each to take into account both the 80:1 conversion rate and dA's whopping 20% cut on each commission/conversion
3) Custom Art really does cost more than people think it does and people should be more up for charging a reasonable amount for their time and work

Now this may now be a crazy dream, and I do enjoy making these, but if I'm gonna start any sort of commissions I need to know if pricing like this is at all feasible.

Please feel free to discuss in the comments, honestly want to know what you guys think on this subject.

Well I'll be darned! I actually finished it!
Proportions were changed a little in the process, but I'm happy with the results.

I also threw together this new desktop for myself and my brother:



He's very happy with it, and that makes me happy too as I don't see him often enough nowadays.

I have other WIPs to finish too, though this one is even further out of date.
In the meantime Xaos will be taking a quick boogaloo into another game.

These two'll be dedicated to makai-ryuu-smm, the Purple Dinosaur.

Also: Guardians of the Galaxy tomorrow! YES.
