AttackTheMap

Hey all, I won't be uploading anything on Deviantart anymore. You can find all my newer art stuff here:
attackthemap.tumblr.com/
I like DA but my computer doesn't, so Tumblr is my new hangout. I still check this account regularly so you can send me notes and post comments and stuff, but no new art will be put up.

If you're interested in some other stuff that I do, you can also check my synesthesia-based Tumblr:
colorcodedsounds.tumblr.com/ (It's not updated much, but it's there! )

I also write and self-published my first book this year! I don't have a blog for my writing at this point, but you can add me on the NaNoWriMo site:
nanowrimo.org/participants/att…

Thanks for watching/lurking/supporting me and I hope to see some of you continue to follow me on Tumblr!

Thanks to the lovely SoapBoxShouts for giving me premium, I'm now AttackTheMap instead of RuneNeko! I've wanted to change my username ever since I outgrew my "omg I need Japanese in my name" phase years ago and started using Attack The Map, which is used only by me. Now I'm AttackTheMap on Tumblr, Twitter, Aywas, Flight Rising, Creature World, and here!

I'm really bad at keeping things updated and it's been catching up to me lately. So here's a shiny new price chart!
Note: If this journal is more than 6 months old, it's likely that prices will have changed.

I will draw almost anything, except:
- Graphic nudity / sex
- Graphic gore (blood is fine, hanging guts and shredded people is not. Zombies need to be discussed with me)
*More will be added if necessary

Things you should know:
- I will not send progress pictures unless you ask for them!
- You pay half upfront and the other half when I'm ready to start shading (I will show you a resized preview)
- USD payments are through Paypal and you must send it as a payment for a "Service"
- I work slowly and usually take 1 week per picture. If you need me to finish before a specific date, let me know and I'll do my best to hurry!
- I usually post sketches on my Tumblr and the finished piece here. If you don't want me posting the images, you must tell me before I start
- If I don't reply to you after 2 days, assume that a black hole ate your message and send me another message
- Nagging usually makes me work faster
- You might get something for free if you can guess my OTP and don't shun me for it (Hint: It's from Unwholly)
- At the moment of posting this journal, I am also taking payment through Aywas. I'm Rune Cat #18747
- Once again, if this journal is over 6 months old, my prices might have changed. Use this as a guideline as what to expect

Attack The Sketches Tumblr: attackthemap.tumblr.com/

I'll be using it mainly for sketches and WIPs, but I'll also be posting the work I do for Creature World. I've been wanting a place where I can throw my not-best work, and I don't want to use DA for that because I only post finished pieces here. So for all you Tumblr people, now you can follow me on there!
...
And all the other activities you do on Tumblr, because I really have never paid attention to the site before ._.

I seriously didn't realize my last journal was posted in January o.o I didn't want to get rid of it too soon because I wanted to give the spotlight to those artists, but... I think it's time for some me!

The Past: Acedemic
I finished my first year of university back in the middle of April! I kind of let my grades slip as time went on (and those French Literature classes KILL) so I really need to try harder in the coming year. On that note, I have an online course (or two) planned to start on the 10th in Psychology. But that's all technical stuff that no one wants to hear about.

The Current: Site Artist
Here's some news the art community might be more interested in. I'm working as a site artist on Creature World this summer! I've only done a few items since I've been tied up with pet colors, but that's where I'll be focusing my interest in the coming months. If you'd like to join the site, you can use this handy link to put me as your referrer and I think you get some bonus money as well: www.creatureworld.net/index.ph… If you want to follow what I'm doing, my username is AttackTheMap and I'm always open to messages (on any site!).

The Future: Comics
What does that mean for this account? Well, I regrettably won't be as active here. There are some projects I'd like to get started on, though, which will include more comics featuring my favorite cast of OCs, some background OCs, and random one-shot characters. I'm also crossing my fingers to start planning a short story comic with a serious plot and a human character. This story is very dear to me, and I won't be drawing any of it until I'm absolutely sure I can do it justice. The story, setting, and main character are already planned. With any luck I'll be starting it sometime later this year.

Commissions
I'm always open to casual commissions. I don't like to set prices before seeing the request because every request is different and requires more or less energy. You can always contact me through one of many sites where I frequent:
- DeviantArt (just send me a note! I take points!)
- Roliana (www.roliana.com/forums/profile… My username is Rune Cat)
- Aywas (www.aywas.com/register/referra… My user ID is #18747)
- Felisfire (No referral code, I am AttackTheMap #9907)
- Creature World (link and name above, I'd prefer to only take site-based requests for free on your part)

A Question For Watchers And Lurkers
I'm considering getting a pin/button/badge making machine. If you don't know what I mean, look up "The World Ends With You pins". I've actually been inspired from getting my TWEWY pins from a wonderful seller on Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/cherriesama?…) and I'd like to start making my own. So here's my question: Would you buy custom pins from me? You could request anything you want, and I'd be selling each 1 1/2" pin for $1 (Canadian). So please, let me know if you'd be interested!
