settling debt.

July 19, 2014 - 8:32pm — cicadia

This journal is directed to anyone associated with me in the past. If you're a newbie, not really any need to read.

For the record, I'm not back. The community's drama has a negative impact on my health.
Since I was here at the beginning of the year, things have basically gone to hell. I'd rather not discuss it in length, but I now have a pacemaker, chronic fatigue, and possibly permanent memory loss due to lack of blood flow.

I'm not looking for sympathy, nor am I looking to get out of commissions I owe. What I am looking for are the people who bought from me and didn't receive their final products. At the moment I have a list of three who bought $30 paintings. I will be contacting you within the week. Regardless if you are them or not, please email me at Point.eight@hotmail.com if I owe you. I'll finish your work and provide you with an additional sketch of your choice.

I can't promise it will be quick, but I'll try to make it good.

Thank you for reading as well as your time.

Would someone be inclined to help? Pretty please.
This is his picto. He's located east of the crying idol in a mushroom circle.
As I know it can be time consuming, I'll offer sketches for whoever decides to help.
Just post here so I know who you were...Thank you so much in advanced.

I'm trying to talk myself into making a chibi and possibly design tutorial. however, not sure if that would eliminate my business or if anyone would particularly find them helpful. both would be fairly tef themed if i do make them. any thoughts?

Lu's designs.

May 3, 2013 - 5:20pm — cicadia

Designing just makes me stupidly happy. All my creations will go here from now on...art dumps will be reserved for doodles. Everything is for sale, and negotiable. Nothing under $5 or €3.80. If multiple people ask for the same design in 24 hours, I will organize an auction.

A couple important points:

° I don't encourage short term characters. When you buy a design from me, I hope it's because you really connect with the design and have multiple ideas concerning how to use it.

° I'd prefer players try to limit the amount of new pictograms they claim to play the characters spawned from these designs. A relatively short time ago, TEF ran out of pictos for new player due to hoarding/mass creation. If you can, reuse an old one.

Each individual design can be dragged to your address bar for a larger version.

o|| Community Poll; Several questions

March 7, 2013 - 8:43pm — cicadia

Because...I'm still trying stuff.
Don't feel obligated to answer them all. Just one or two is alright.

Question 1:
What types of incentive/prizes are you most interested in?
Examples- Full character art, signature art, layouts, interaction, money, physical prizes such as small figurines, picto necklaces, etc. Feel free to answer with something not listed.

Question 2:
Do you feel the community lacks something? If so, explain in detail.
No bickering. In fact, it would be preferred that you don't even reference what another poster has said.
I want it in your words, not 'I agree with so-and-so!'

Question 3:
Why did you come to the community? What drew you in?

\\ in need of rp.

February 6, 2013 - 1:56am — cicadia

Any kind will do...just need some easy character interaction. Please keep replies sort of short (not over 3 paragraphs) and don't leave me hanging for over ~~24 hours~~ about two days. If you need to stop, just say so...it's fine. I'll return the favor.

Characters I have available are...

*BrightEyes Font
Massive quadrupedal human-faced raven monster. May or may not wear a bird mask to hide said face. He is relatively unstable, sickly, easily offended, and swings quickly between moods...small factors will affect how he reacts to your character, could be cuddly, or could decide to lash out. Always makes for an interesting story.

*Dota Font
Small, stocky, built as a sambar doe. May seem 'cute' from a distance, but reaks of oil and musk. May bear a middle eastern human or deer face...either one with a repaired cleft lip and dull eyes. Is extremely slow and dim, but not without a sense of humor. Asks a lot of questions, and will answer just as many. She treats nearly everyone the same. For best results, play with someone who can tolerate her dragging pace or grow angry due to it. A childish character probably wouldn't work.

*Belenus Font
Thin furred, spike-lined-spine stag. Human face, appears strong and early 40's. Has old man issues. Sits and broods in silence quite a bit. Has a soft spot for those who are chill and/or young. Lots to be decided. Experimental rp encouraged.

Anything at all is appreciated...
