I'm going to go out on a limb and offer some commissions again. Prices are as listed for now till AC: Well, I start off most of my prices at about $5.00 to a sketch. A multi character sketch is $10.00 This means no color, no ink, and no background, unless I sketch that in for fun. Inking, single character. Inking is $15.00 Multi character inkings are $20.00 Colored character, single, (with inking) is $30.00. Multi character color (with inking) is $35.00. Colored character with a partial background is $40.00 A full background is closer to $60.00. Add an extra $5.00 for every additional character. <************> Another thing, because Anthrocon is getting so close, I'm open for Badge, and Icon Commissions. :) Badge Commissions are up for grabs for $20.00, while Icons are 10.00$ each. :) Please feel free to AIM me at SilvrWingsDragon.

Hey guys. Lifes been good, except than I don't have any money. So, I'm going to do something about it, or try. Commissions are still open and I'm willing to draw anything that'll get me money. Heres the regular website where you can see what my prices and stuff are: http://www.freewebs.com/silvrwingsdragon/index.htm , but if your feeling lazy, just scroll down. Alrighty, then. Here's your List. :) ***** Well, I start off most of my prices at about $10.00 to a sketch. A multi character sketch can go from $15.00 to $20.00, depending on the amount of detail. This means no color, no ink, and no background, unless I sketch that in for fun. Inking, single character. Inking can be from $25.00 to $30.00. This depends on the amount of detail. Multi character inkings are $35.00 to $40.00. Colored character, single, (with inking) is $45.00. Multi character color (with inking) is $50.00. Colored character with a partial background is also $55.00 to $58.00. A 'full' background is closer to $65.00 or $70.00. This would include depth and detail for the $65.00. The 55.00 is also in depth. The $65.00 to $70.00 is the difference between seeing the leaves inked, or leaving the leaves to the imagination without inking them in with detailed inks. Colored characters with a full or partial background. The details remain the same, except for the price. The price will vary between $75.00 to $85.00. This will depend on how many characters you want in the image, of course. <************> Another thing, because Anthrocon is getting so close, I'm open for Badge Commissions, and Icon Commissions. :) Badge commissions are up for grabs for $25, while Icons are 10.00$ each. :) Please feel free to AIM me at SilvrWingsDragon. Or E-mail me at: SilvrWingsDragon@aol.com . Please put ART in the subject line, so that I know what its about. Or you can just comment here. :D Current Mood: Oh so HopefulCurrent Music: Breaking the Habit | | Tuesday, April 29th, 2008 | | 9:08 pm |
Hey all. I think I'm going to try to use my LJ. (Shocking! XD) Lol. I'm going to start out light and things are going to progress from there on. Heres a meme of sorts I found is Caylees journals. ---Reply to this post, stating 3 or more reasons you like me. I will respond with an equal number of reasons why I like you! Once you've answered, post this in your own journal.--- ---Reply to this post and fill in the blanks: (with however many words you want) Farore reminds me of: Who I am, alot of the time. Soetimes I look athere and envy her a bit because she does alot of things successfully that I try and seem to fail at. Yay for Winning! I think Farore thinks I'm: An interesting person? I don't know. I have a fear that she things I'm a bit boring, but I hope I'm wrong there. If Farore were to save one thing from her house burning down, it would probably be:Uhm.... I think she might grab her tombone or her art supplies. But I'll go out on a limb and say one of her dresses. She loves them so! Farore and I share a common interest in: Art. I think Farore's best physical feature is: Her eyes. They're Super blue in the right kind of light. The best thing about her mentally is: Shes very intelligent and loves to have intelligent converstaions. Farore probably has: A stuffer tiger in her bed. If I could guess what was in her closet, I'd say: Clothes? If there's one thing Farore ISN'T, it's: Stupid. I'm having a hard tome imagining a dumb Farore. Above all, I feel Farore is: A wonderful person and a great artist and friend. Current Mood:  HappyCurrent Music: Does mom yelling for the computer count?

HAHAH!!! DX I'm stupid. Reson why? Well, let me just say it like this, I posted to he Furaffinity and then thought it'd echo on my own page. Apparently that is not the cse. o.o; Well, anyway, this is what I posted to the Furaffinity page: Hey guys! I'm looking into going to Anthrocon this year, and I need some help. Usually, I'm just putting up an add or two on my Furaffinity, ( http://www.furaffinity.net/user/flyingfire/) or my DeviantArt. ( http://flyingfire.deviantart.com/) But I thought I'd post it up here as well, that I am, as of now, open for Commissions of any kind. I also do Badges and Fullbody Badges. (for those that don't know, a Fullbody Badge is just that. Instead of a headshot, you get the whole body.) Badges are currently $20.00 Fullbody Badges are $35.00, but I think that its worth it, for those that would like such a thing. Others can be found here: http://www.freewebs.com/silvrwingsdragon/index.htm on my website. Let it be known that I can also do icons. :3 So, Who alls going to Anthrocon or trying? Who does and does not have a room? Info, ppl. :3 Also, feel free to let me know what you guys are up to. I'd really like to know if anyones interested in commissions. Thanks :D Current Mood:  geekyCurrent Music: nope | | Sunday, November 11th, 2007 | | 7:45 pm |

Progression There are times in which someone forgets things. I forgot about LJ for a long time, but now I'll try to update more often. My last entries were not so great, admittedly. In the time I've been gone drastic and huge things have changed in my life. I've nearly lost my mother to breast cancer, My uncle Mike has died, my Grandma Krueger has died, and my cat Oreo has gone, as well. All in the span of a year. I can say that my friends held me together and know that I'm right. I just wish that this year had been more pleasant over all. The good things that happened were at the beginning of the year when Chris surpised me with a day trip to somewhere special for Valentines day. Ice skating and finding hockey pucks in the frozen ice of lake Phaelan is really fun. On the ice, cold is forgotten when your so concerned with where to step and how not to fall into a fishing-hole! :D When spring came this year it was mostly uneventful, Oreo was lying around being his fat, lovely cute self and I miss that more than I can say. Grandma was doing as well as usual. There wasn't any worry over my uncle mike.... hell, I thought he had years left, if not decades! things were peaceful in my musty 130 year old house. I was perfectly happy, if not irked by Chris wanted to walk 5 miles a day. then... something happened. Uncle Mike fell down the stairs and died pretty much instantly of falling on his head. I was so scared, most of all because it reminds us all of how short and sudden life can be. The only good thing that I can think of with Uncle Mikes Death is that I thank god his daughter didn't find him that way. I could Not Imagine how traumatizing that would have been fo her.... After the sudden death, I was reluctant to travel. I wanted to stay with my family, even if my mourning was weak in comparison to the rest of my families. I only saw him once in awhile but I still loved him. I just felt that maybe he wouldn't want me to cry for him too much. Life isn't about missing what you don't have. so, after much coaxing from yifferfox and other friends, and, surpisingly, Mom, I went to Anthrocon in June. I had SUCH a blast! For a bit over a week I was worry-free. Everything melted into furry happiness and hanging out with my sister Jen (we're not related, but you'd never know it from how we act together! XD ) I was as happy as I could be, even if the ride to the actual con was nine hours. XD I met alot of people there at AC again. Some I saw, in wonder, that I hardly remembered, yet, they remembered me. o.o;; I hate my memory sometimes. :P I was in Artists-Alley for three days. I was astounded I got in three times! I even sat by Farore for a split second, but the angle felt wrong. I don't like facing doors. It just makes my chair feel like its gonna fall over. :P So, I moved over by some awesome guy that was a Jack-Sparrow look clone practically. It was awesome. He was totally cool. AND I still owe him a picture. ::Shakes her fist in mock anger. XD :: Damn you Sparrow! XDD You won the bet! (so wonderfully pirate-y!) After Anthrocon... wow, can you say CON AIDS? well, I had the lightest version, I suppose. All in all, poor Farore had the worst of it. Then things started to hit the fan. Grandma died not long after my AC visit and I was struck down by my cat Oreo dying as well. All within two weeks of the con, and within each other. For a long time I didn't do much. I had a sudden obsession with drawing Oreo all over my sketch books and throwing out alot of my art and staring at pictures of Grandma. I couldn't help but wonder why this had all happened, but it seemed inevitable, and Oreos death has been sudden. Putting him down was probably the saddest, most heart-breaking, soul-clenching thing I've ever done in all of my life. I made the vets cry. And vets? Well... they don't cry. I must have looked truly devastated.. I'm sorry if I'm ranting. The ranting gryphon would love me, huh? Well, after getting over everything slowly, at least, to a point I could stand them, life returned to being pretty much normal. Hlloween was fun if a bit costume-angsty. (I ended up going as a cat harlequin. Sooo pretty! SPARKLIES!!) And now I guess I'm looking at November, or, should I say, the rest of it, and thinking about Midwest Fur Fest. :3 Midwest Fur Fest should be cool, provided I can go. I fell like I need the break, plus its a chance to make some extra funds. So far I'm in real need of commissions in order to help my cause. :o Which means I'm about 150$'s away from going. Which means anyone looking for any commissions at all would be highly appriciated. <3 Pricelist: http://flyingfire.deviantart.com/art/Midwest-Fur-Fest-68816304Please comment! Carrie.

Death Dreams... I had a dream where the world had been bombed... My parents were dead, Chris, Bro and bros friends plus a gal buddy I had... We were alive still, but were were all going to die, too... the radiation was going to get us. I was dying inside as well in the dream, my depression killing me, even as I struggled to be happy that I, and some of the people I loved, were all alive still. I remember 'being' my friend, and how I was a glass maker. We were running out of sand... the world where I was was so corrupt and diseased that finding clean water was rare. The landscaped was burned red and ruined, bodies and naked bones on the streets and dead red grass. It was horrible... to see all those people just, die, just fall over and never have a chance.

I'm reslly tired of this. I mean really, truly, tired of it. I get up in a brilliant mood, and what happens? Dads parading around the house, sees me as I get out of my room, and seems fine,untilI ask him about Alex having given my dad the money hewas supposed to give me, himself. Dad starts getting grouchy, I ask whats wrong, and he yells at me. It was pretty much a yelling match to and from, less that two minutes after I'd woken up. Yippee. >:P I'm tired of having him treat 'us' like we're dog shit, and treats everyone else the way he's 'supposed' to treat his family. ::Sighs.:: Anyway, I'm glad that one thing hasn't gone awry yet. My friend Adam and I are gonna hang out.Its been awhile, so I just hope things go as planned.:) Current Mood:  but positive for future too.Current Music: air | | 2:10 am |

Anthrocon and Commissions Hello again you ppl. I know everyone on here things I'm dead or dying... my last post was really dramatic. Anyway. I'm looking for people to commission. They're only 15$ a pop, great quality and everything. I'm practicly praying I get to go to anthrocon this year. I want to go so bad I'm doing four times the amount of work whenever I can, so I can stop thinking about it and be sane for a bit. I think my art school is in love with me. I sent is four assignments in a week. Fast for a mail-in. They're thrilled. Actually, so am I. I can see my art rising in quality and satifaction. My humans are definately getting better. My instructor is telling me I should keep up the pace for as long as I can,but I'm almost never this restless, so they usually only get one mail-in per week. (Well, sorry, I know I'm lazy. Lol.) I've been doing faux badges to get myself ready for commissions, but none have come yet. I want commissions. I'm not even expensive. :| http://www.freewebs.com/silvrwingsdragon/ Theres my website I've been working on dilligently. :D Its not done yet, but I'm working on it. Things are going semi-goof in my life for now, except for my uncertainty in my boyfriend and Anthrocon. And Money. Did I mention money? Yeah. I'm doing alot of writing on my fanfictions lately. http://www.fanfiction.net/u/264750/Mostly the Warriors one. I desperately need to work on the others. v.v I feel bad for a few of my buddies though. Matt and Jen. Jen crushed her finger in thecar door.... ouch. Butshe may be getting marries soon, so yaaaay! And poor Matt is ... erm, well,I'm not Exactly sure whats going on there. Hes ver sad and lonely,or come across like it. Bloke needs a good girl, and a better job. Maybe he'd be happier then? See you all later. :D Current Mood: bouncy | | Thursday, April 6th, 2006 | | 3:19 am |
My Wonderful Precious. I feel so horrible. so horrible.... ::Shakes her head sadly:: My cat Precious is deathly ill. She's been hanging on so long now, and she's so brave to fight this thing. I admire her and every thing that she is. For so long now, she's looked death in the face and hissed. Fought her way back to stay here... I know she's getting closer to his door all the time, but I feel like she feels like she owes us, her family, something. Why else would she fight so hard? I guess it's a little strange, but Precious and I have always had a strong connection, and I get this feeling of urgency... Like time is finally running out. It rips me to shreds to even write about this because I know it's inevitable. I want her to stay, butI'd do anything for her so she could stop being in pain. The thing is, How do you put a family member, cat or otherwise, to sleep? How can you look in their eyes, after all they've faced, and all they've fought for to stay alive, only to kill them? putting her to sleep, to me, feels like I'm betraying her. God help her... What do I do? Current Mood: MiserableCurrent Music: My tears. | | Sunday, January 8th, 2006 | | 10:07 am |
SilvrWingsDragon: I is a creeped out Carrie. ::nods.:: Skarrbag: whyso? SilvrWingsDragon: I had scary freaky dreams. Skarrbag: ohohoh? SilvrWingsDragon: ::Nod nod.:: SilvrWingsDragon: I was upstairs and I was wandering around after we ate. But I was up therealone. suddenly I realize somethings with me and its not alive, and that it could meanme harm. I had ataste of anger hatred and frustration, cruel humor. I turned to seeanother ghost, yet it was a kind and gentle one. In my dream colors meant something. the malevolent one was pink with a red heart.The only one with more than onecolor. The other ghost was blue. I could scarecely hear him when he talked. Skarrbag: hmmm SilvrWingsDragon: It was like the blue ghost was trying toprotectme, soothe the fears. we walked down the stairs, and the evil ghost followed telling the other ghost how cruelIwas and could be, the things You hear when people make you out to be all evil. The Blueghost didn't belive it and defended me. Skarrbag: yup SilvrWingsDragon: After both of them faded out and away, I ran into death, or the black spirit. I couldn't see anything hut darkness. A human form made out of the black. He'd come and I was positively terrified. I kept asking if Iwas going to die, if it was my time now, and being completely terrified of the answer. Skarrbag: what happoened? SilvrWingsDragon: He Shook his head and told me that no, it wasn't my time. for me,he'd close his eyes. I agreed and knew he never lied. It was instinctual. He told me he'd need to touch my throat, and I asked him why, still very much afraidof going with death too early. Skarrbag: o.o SilvrWingsDragon: He said he had to see my secrets, if I deserved tolive, if I had any place here. He douched my throat and it was like some window into my soul had been opened, and I could see how much of everything I had in me, but I noticed bleakly that the pink (evil red hearted) spirit was by me to a distance and watching. He didn't tease or joke. He nodded and looked depressed and understanding and did nothing, just watching.I ignored him and the Black spirit told me thatit'd taken him ten thousand years to gain the SilvrWingsDragon: truth through his hands the way he did through speech. I realized then I'd been talking the whole time his hand was on me. He soon took back his hand and said something and dissolved. I hadn't earned death yet. SilvrWingsDragon: There were others, a White spirit that was all purity. Skarrbag: hmhmm SilvrWingsDragon: A green spirit to convey jelosy and greed and other not so nameable aspects Skarrbag: o.o And now everyone knows how weird my dreams are. :P Current Mood:  distressed | | Friday, January 6th, 2006 | | 11:25 am |
Sweet Birthday It's the day 'after' my birthday, but I thought I'd write a journal anyway. :3 I had somuch fun yesterday! We went to borders, and Perkins. We saw a cheap flic at the Marcus, and, yes, went to the place for awhile. I have fifteen dollars left! Better than none. I might go to Half-price books today in search of good books to scour through. ;3 It keeps getting harder and harder to find a good book these days. I re-read the whole Warriors book series so far by Erin Hunter... those guys are genious's! And you know what? It was worth it! I kept seeing things I'd forgotten or missed, and it really made me think on the series I'm doing, and how much time i don't have to catch up. They're already working on Starshine! Or star something. Lol. My art school sent me India Ink, super black... I tried the pen, and the brush. Fabulous! Absolutely Stunning results! Since I have those, I'll have a referance if i want to go outand buy more. Do they come in colors? I want to paint in inks! It's so fun! They also sent me a brand, spankin' new sketchbook to try my stuff out on. Faaaaab! I'm happy as a clam. The only thing that has me happier than the stuff I'vealready yapped about is that my best friend Chris Carter gave me a dozen red roses for my twenty second. They're gorgous! Aside from the roses, I got no physical presents, but that dosen't matter, because I'm happy with things as they are, currently. (hug) Thank you to everyone that has been with me on D.A., S.A., Fanfiction.net, Fictionpress.com, Elfwood, Pawspace, Livejournal, Pregfur, and VCL. Probably more but Ican't think of them... heh, silly me! ! On another up,Precious, my cat is still looking good. Shedosen't seem to be laboring as much as shes in high spirits. Maybe shes getting better! Thanks for reading this, and reply if you can. I like replies. :3 Current Mood: RelaxedCurrent Music: Perfect sky | | Monday, November 21st, 2005 | | 9:10 pm |
Mouse the Warrior I am mouse the warrior It is now I am vast Once I was small and spent my day unseen finding seed in the grass so easily in green sweet summer But Cat, sharp of eye and fang, found me, gripped me with her claw in my thin fur Like her kitten, I rode her mouth, stunned painless, as She took me to a strange, hard place of corners and flatness and no place to hide There She released me to do with me that Evil Cats find Good I ran but everywhere was Cat waiting batting me with clawless paw The Master of Cat loomed up behind her making these sounds of soft anger "Nesbit! kill the mouse now! Stop tormenting it! Stop it!" Cat got me in a corner-- no way behind me, no way past Cat . . . My Death I could smell . . . yet I might live I arose I, mouse I raised myself up and bristled my fur I bared my teeth, small, sharp, and challenged the Cat Cat's pink Master changed "Ah . . . warrior mouse! Hold it, Nesbit!" and He lunged for his Cat Cat obeyed his first command Quicker than rain, quicker than Hawk, quicker than snow on the wind, and quicker than her large, slow Master, She swept me out of my imposture and pierced and broke me Into the lack of blackness lost even the heart of mouse not I traveled there * * * At length came a Shadow which once I had feared-- Great Owl at my indifferent side "I am come to take you" "Has then Cat left something to feed you?" "Brother" said Owl "You mistake the meaning of things-- Come, warrior past harm" Talons took me into Light, the colors of the world I knew yet never saw together We flew! Owl put me in the grass and settled in a tree while I turned to see Fox sitting in the East Snake coiled up in the South Coyote in the West and Cat reclined to the North Many days we talked eating seed and drinking dew "Brother Mouse what will you choose? You, who have all the paths of the world" Many days more I thought-- How grand to be Coyote and travel far and sniff the land How sweet the life of Fox in love with summer's ease How wise the secret path of Snake who swims in grass and earth How great the grace of Cat whose veiled heart is terrible and pure How soft the wings of Owl to walk night wind in silence "I will be mouse, it is enough" Coyote took the Drum . . . The Terrible Powers sang I am still mouse but am now vast Cat comes upon me in the grass but I need not show my teeth My kin fear me as they do Owl but I sing for them-- I sing of Cat and the terrible heart and the path to the wise I sing-- I am mouse the warrior I am here Current Mood: cynical | | Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005 | | 4:24 am |

Snarl... >.<;; Omg grr. I'm hating my parents right now. I don't mind dad actually, but Moms been having a bitch fest ever since a week ago, and I'm the center of attention with it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what I 'have' done wrong, but she needs to stop. I can't have her breathing down my neck like some evil dragon from hell waiting for a reason to eat the kitten. I'm going to start looking for an apartment if this keeps up. even if I don't have 'that' much money, I'm not going to stay here to be the toy of angers malevolent-ness. And yes FlyingFox,Blue foxies! how dare they? :3 http://www.deviantart.com/view/24095985/ Enjoy, theres the link. I just wish she'd lay off and be normal, is all. ::Feeling lonely.:: http://www.deviantart.com/view/16332258/ Current Mood: intimidatedCurrent Music: Love is crying tears |
