Hello! Firstly I wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented on my last journal. I haven't been active on here in a while so I didn't expect to get many responses from it. Thank you! I've decided to keep my account open so that the artwork won't be taken down. 

Initially I wanted to delete the page because I've been doing some spring cleaning online. Deleting old profiles, emails and bookmarks etc. So that then led to my DA account. But it would be lovely to keep the old comics up and to see people's work; I've had such a lovely time on here! Thank you for all of the memories on this website. I've met some really lovely people on here and I hope to keep in contact with you all on other websites. I'll pop links to all of the sites I'm on. Best of luck to everyone!


Take care of yourselves!

Hi, I hope everyone's been ok! It's been a while since I've been on this website and I never really use it anymore. So I figured it was time to delete this account. In terms of any Nuzlockes or any other ongoing things I won't be continuing them anymore (though I think that was obvious with how absent I've been here. Sorry if anyone was interested but thank you ever so much for all of the support these past years! <3)

I've had a blast on this website! If anyone's interested, at the moment I'm mainly on Instagram but I'm also on a few other websites so I'll put links to them below. I'll be closing this account down in a few days time! See you! x

I’m opening commissions! I’ve done some private work and now I’m really excited to start advertising here! But before we rush into things I’ve written some rules to take into account if you’re interested in commissioning me.

For now I’m offering Bust Commissions.

~ Commissions are closed! ~

BUST CHARACTER

Sketch - £8

Lineart - £14- £18

Flat Colour - £18- £20

Shading Effects - £22-£26

 

These are my opening prices though they may be subject to change. I live in the UK so payments will need to be in GBP. I have examples of what each of these choices look like as well as my terms of service here: 

 Commission Sheet 2016 by such-a-wally 

Commission Rules

Send me a note or email suchawallyart@gmail.com to apply for a commission slot. Payment is through PayPal only.

In your note or email please give a description about what you would like me to draw as this will have to be approved. I can then judge how much the commission will cost. 

Please give me as much information about your character as you can. Please send me reference pictures if you have any. Sending pictures of other characters that have a feature you like is fine if you do not have your own references. Additional information such as the type of pose, facial expression or the kind of lighting you would like is greatly appreciated and helps speed things along immensely.

The pricing of your commission will depend on the complexity of the character. It seems unfair to charge the same amount of money for a simple design and a detailed design.

I will reply to say whether or not your commission has been selected. First come first serve basis.

If there is a queue I will send an email when I am starting your commission and will then ask for payment in advance. I will send an invoice to your paypal email address (if you sent a note please have an email that I can send the invoice to). After I receive that I will start the commission.

You can request changes to the initial sketch. You can make two big changes for things such as the pose. Smaller changes can be made up to four times.

But once I have moved on from the sketch stage no more changes can be made.

If you would like to use the commission as an icon and need it to be a specific size please tell me. I’m more than happy to do so as long as I have the information at hand.

Alrighty! Thanks for reading this far! Let's start making pictures together! <3

Hi everyone!

I wanted to give a big thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! I had a blast! Thank you so much for your kind words! ~ <3

Just a little update regarding artwork, I'm going away for a week soon so I'm trying to get some pages done for Second Wind. I no longer have a buffer but I'm hoping to change that. I'm also going to be participating in Inktober this year! It seems like a really fun challenge and I'll mostly be posting that stuff on Instagram & Tumblr and some compilation pictures on here! 

Also, I got tagged by the lovely :iconkrisantyne:! Thank you so much for the tag! 
I also saw that the lovely :iconhasling: and :iconcharpiearts: did this meme so I've included Joules as well. Sooty still hasn't been introduced properly so let's look at the only two characters we've got so farrrrrrr ~

Rules:
1.) Post the rules.
2.) Post 8 facts about your character.
3.) Tag 8 other characters.
4.) Post Their names along with their creators.

Joyce:

1.) Joyce originally lived in Cianwood City. She hated being stuck on an island so she was eager to start her journey across the Johto region.
2.) In Joyce's original Pokemon journey her starter was a Chikorita called Petal.
3.) Joyce's favourite type of Pokemon is Fire.
4.) Joyce has travelled across many different regions but has settled down in Johto for personal reasons.
5.) One of the reasons she chose to live in Cherrygrove City is because it was near her friend Mr Pokemon and because it had a beach. 
6.) Joyce met Mr Pokemon on her journey across Johto. They've been friends ever since.
7.) In her youth Joyce was extremely athletic. But now that she can't run so much she feels a little restless at home. 
8.) Unlike many of her other Pokemon, Joyce bought Sooty when he was a very young pup. She's spoiled him. A lot.


Joules:

1.) Joules has lived in Cherrygrove City for the whole of her life.
2.) She has no memory of her family but has a brotherly relationship with Terry the Sentret. They usually steal food from each other.
3.) Joules can be very possessive. Especially with anything that she feels she has earned. 
4.) Joules has a reputation in the park for scrounging for food. There are some people who she refers to as 'regulars' who give her parts of their lunch.
5.) She doesn't like Flying type Pokemon that much. This is mainly because Spearows, Pidgeys and HootHoots are her main competition for food. She's watched them fly away with her lunch far too many times for her liking. 
6.) Joules does want to go on a journey taking on the League Challenge. But she thinks she's too good for a regular trainer.
7.) Joules can be a little scrappy! She enjoys a good fight. Terry usually tries to calm her down.
8.) And finally, Joules is extremely messy. But she'll make a conscious effort to organise things she cares about.


I'm always pretty lazy with tags! Feel free to try this if you want! It's super fun! ~ uvu

Hi everyone!

Wow it’s been a while since I’ve been on this website. I’m playing catch up with a lot of stuff on here. How’s everyone been? Just a warning, this journal is going to be a buttload of information in a single entry.

Firstly, this is painstakingly overdue but thank you for all of the birthday wishes from ages ago! I’m looking at them now and feeling so guilty that they haven’t been replied to. Is it too late to reply to them now? Regardless thank you so much to everyone who sent a message to me! <3

I’m pretty much finished with my third year at university now which means I’m free! This year we made another film for our final year project however we’re hoping to spruce it up some more before we put it online. My final year has been a real roller coaster experience but overall I’ve really enjoyed myself. I’ve met some really lovely people throughout the three years and have learnt a lot! I’ll be job hunting throughout the summer but I’m looking forward to just relaxing for a while. I haven’t had too much free time over the year plus I had some personal stuff to deal with from September to around February. Now I have some time to breathe and enjoy drawing again! <3

I’ve looked into starting up commissions for two years now so I’m hoping to get that sorted this summer. If anyone’s interested send me a note! Nuzlocke-wise I’ll still be doing a comic. However I have some news which may be a little sad? Though with how infrequently it got updated I suppose it might be expected?

The Times We Shared has been on hiatus for ages and it never really got updated. I want to work on some original stories and artwork and that kind of fully rendered style is too time consuming for me. I thought about changing the style a lot but I know that I’d want a generally consistent art style throughout the comic so the perfectionist in me would want to redo the first few pages to match it. I’d be forever stuck in Viridian City!

I’m still super proud of the comic but it’s something I made years ago and to look at it critically the story looks a little cruddy to me! I have a new story with Second Wind that I’m much more confident in telling. Plus I’m not too far into the story that there’s anything that I think anyone’s dying to find out the answer too. Though if there is anything you’d like to know I can answer it! Thank you to everyone who helped me and liked the comic!

Goodbye and Thank You! by such-a-wally

So I’ll be working on Second Wind from now on! I’m really excited to show you the characters! <3

Oh and is anybody on Tumblr or Instagram? I don’t really go on Tumblr too often but I kinda float about on there. I’ve just started using Instagram and I’m more active on there! I’ll put links to my stuff on here but if anyone has an account send it to me if you wanna!
