The Turkey Has Landed

Well, no one took me up on my Free art for the 10,000th pageview on my DA page, my subtle hint for freebies in the last post went unnoticed, and my commission queue is non-existant. So I guess I'll try this.

One free character sketch to the first 5 people in this thread to say that they want one. No gimmicks, no games, no tricks. 1st five people take it. Please leave ref shots and any other relevant info in your post. If you've gotten art from me before, you're welcome to try again.




TL

Okay, got my five. Sketches should be done in the next two weeks or so. May have color, may not. Depends on my mood and concept of the picture.

Dang i missed it.

I haven't forgotten about these. RL has me in upheaval what with a death in the family, dealing with a new job, and being solo with my little one while the spouse has been doing the theatre thing. I haven't even had time to mow my lawn...our dog went into the back yard last week and we haven't seen him since! Probably those darn chipmunks.

Anyways, I do have some pencils down, I just need to find time to throw inks on top of them. Hoping to have said time this weekend sometime.

In the meantime, enjoy this:




TL

Damn brother, looks like ya got your hands full. So sorry to hear about the death in the family as well. Was the death in the family the dog i'm guessing?

I know how it is going solo for a bit as well. Sassy is gone for a month


Take your time my friend. Hopefully life gives ya a break at some point so you can get that lawn mowed

Bwahahahhaa you do know me all too well

No, there was no dog. That was just hyperbole about how long the grass in the backyard was.

Hi all, long time no see.

Lots of craziness going on in my life lately, which has kept me from drawing, and making me true to my name (the "Lurkey" part, not the "Turkey" part). But I find myself asking for a bit of help if possible.

My mother took ill last week, and we had to take her to the ER. Long story short, several of her organs have failed and she is currently in an ICU downstate in what's basically a coma. I'm finding myself in need of funds, but I just don't have the time to do commissions (plus I still have those freebees I promised to do still) and I'm not the kind of guy to ask for or wants free hand-outs.

However, I have this t-shirt shop, Creaux Industries, that if you happen to find something you like and were to buy a shirt or whatever, it would help out greatly. All profits from the shop are currently going towards her medical expenses and my travel expenses.


Thanks for your time.

(Mods, if this is against the forum rules, go ahead and delete this post.)


TL

You should be okay - it's been done before.

Sorry to read about your mother...I'll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.



I'll go check out the store and find something to help out whatever bit I can. Hopefully you have tall sizes.



Take care, and I hope everything turns out well!




Edit: I must have failed my geek cred - I didn't get some of those references. Still, neat stuff! The Spoilers pad is cool looking.

Edit 2: Great stuff - I can get the can huggers and cups and stuff, and know they won't shrink on me! Everyone please check this out - there's more than t-shirts, if you're not in to tees.

Best wishes and "Good Mojo" sent for you and your Mother, TL!!!

There are some can huggers, mugs, mouse pads, and the like, too, so something for everyone, and every budget! (hint, hint)

I had to look up a few of the references to stir my memory, though...I'm getting too old to be hip...ow, my hip!

I hope for the best for you, although your site was giving me a lot of random broken pictures for some reason. Sometimes they would show, and sometimes they would be broken.

Thanks everyone!

DE: I hear you about the t-shirts. I have a long torso myself, and lots of "insulation" too. Plus, I enjoy a nice loose shirt, so I got 4X and it fit me quite comfortably. Of the shirts we got for my family, there hase been no noticible shrinkage after several washes, and they still all fit pretty much the same as we got it. They're pretty decent quality (which is one of the reasons why I went with Printfection instead of Cafe Press), not sure about the other garments. Of course, you have to pay extra for the larger sizes (above 2x), but that's the price we above average persons have to pay. =)

Bubba: Yeah, it's doing it for me right now too. Not sure why that is, it was fine this morning....


Thanks again!
TL

I was tempted to get a shirt, but ended up going with just the hugger, water jug, mousepad things.

I wonder if you could do a Freem one, or of NCSoft trademarked that?

I want to thank everyone that helped out by purchasing something from my shop.

Unfortunately, my mother did not make it and passed away. However, her sister, my wife, my daughter, and I were able to be by her side when she died (the extra funds from your purchases helped make that possible), so that was a small measure of comfort.

Thanks again, you are a wonderful community.

Just dropping a note to say so long.

I know I haven't posted much lately. I've been lurking around here checking out all your artz and admiring in silent like the silent fowl protector I am. However, it's time for me to move on. Truth is, I've lost interest in my art, and have grown bored with the game. Current RL issues have indicated that it's time for me to pack things in for the time being and make room for another feathered defender of the night.

If you want to keep in touch, I'm on twitter as "turkeycreaux" and I still check out DeviantArt everyday, even though I'm not posting anything.

So may your pencils stay sharp and your inks not smear. The Turkey may return someday, and I'll always be watching....
