Got a new furnace

---

MAGFEST: 23-26 January, National Harbor, MD
Table stuff fell through, so I'm just going for the video games and music

Katsucon: 13-15 February, National Harbor, MD
May go, may not. If I do, it will likely only be for a day.

BronyCon: 7-9 August, Baltimore, Maryland
Submitted a request for a table. Won't know whether or not I got it until mid-March.

Any other conventions are pending time, money and interest.

I DO take requests in that I will entertain any request. Whether or not I will actually work on the request is another matter entirely. The fact of the matter is that a request is just that: a request; something that you would like to see me do. This said, I am under NO obligation to do it at all.

If you're still here and want to request something from me send me a note or email and then wait. I will either do it or I won't. If you ask me whether or not I got your message about the request, rest assured that I have and that I have at least skimmed it over and am considering it. Good ways to ensure that I will NOT do your request include, but are not limited to:
- Requests that are outside of my interests (take a look at my gallery and faves to get an idea of what those are).
- Requests that put my characters outside of what they normally do or suggest that they behave differently than how they normally would.
- Badgering, pestering or otherwise being a nuisance is a quick way to see your request sent to a quantum singularity never to be heard from again...you are on my time and I've got stuff to do.
- Should a request actually get completed, you accept it as-is. Period.
- Friends, family and business partners get special dispensation and are far more likely to be considered. Those people know who they are...and no, just because you are on my 'Friends' list here or are watching me does not make you my friend by default.

If you find that these terms are unreasonable, then put some money on the table and commission me. You will find that I am MUCH more reasonable and FAR more inclined to bend over backwards for you.

As you all know, it's snowing up north. We happen to be up north. The other night one of the roommates smelled a gas leak. Got the gas company to come check it out. Turns out there was one. The furnace in this house is about 20 years old and is finally trying to kill us all because it just decides to stop working in the middle of this snow storm.

So right now, the gas is off in the middle of winter in a house where pretty much everything heat-related (stove, oven, water) is all gas-powered. So in addition to it being cold, we also can’t cook and have no hot water (meaning no showers, can’t do the dishes or other stuff you need hot water for). Making matters worse is the fact that the gas company will not turn the gas back on until the repairs have been made.

I have done some price-checking and we’re looking at something between $3,500 and $5,000 for a new furnace. This is money that we just don’t have right now, so we’re reaching out to the internet for help.

I can do commission work (I don’t have a proper price-listing just yet), and I know that my roommates also can do this as well and I am also accepting donations.

If you want to commission me, drop me an email (animefreak40k@gmail.com), DA or Tumblr note with ‘Emergency Commission’ in the subject line, this way I will be able to organize and prioritize things. Also, because I am working a full time job *and* presently a full-time student, I cannot guarantee any sort of quick turnaround. To be clear, I WILL do what I can to get any artwork that is owed out as quickly as possible, I just ask folks to have patience because any time to work on projects is limited.

If you want to donate, I have a “PayPal Donate” button on my Tumblr or just send the money directly to my PayPal using my email address: animefreak40k@gmail.com

I understand that things are tight right now for a lot of folks, so even if you can’t afford to send any money, just getting the word out would be a huge help as well.

Thanks!

Between all of the help from folks online and my sister, I was able to purchase a brand new furnace from Sears on Wednesday and it was installed on Friday. While I did have a bit of a row with the gas company (would have been nice to know it took 24 hours to process a request!), the gas was just turned back on not too long ago. After everything was turned on/checked and a few tests for no new leaks was done, we are now good to go!

Again, I want to thank everybody who helped or just got the word out. I really appreciate it. Thank you!
