Homeless for the Holidays

My Storm Hawks Club: :iconworld-of-atmos:

Where I come from, A person who currently does not own or rent a space that they can support and live in on their own qualifies as a "Homeless" person. I, a Navy veteran of 8+ years, am one of these homeless persons. Why am I homeless? Because I chose to go to school.

Yeah, bet you kids didn't see that one coming. Yes, its true. I am homeless and disqualified from getting affordable housing because I am enrolled in an online college. I discovered this when applying for an apartment, and I was supposed to move in this month. When moving day came, I was slapped in the face by a "technicallity". Though I was under the impression that I was only "going to school" 3/4 part time because when I enrolled that is what I was TOLD would be my student status, and because my GI Bill only grants me 3/4 time tuition, I assumed I was a part time student and was content.

Turns out, my online university lists ALL their online students as FULL TIME. Aparently, there is no such thing as a "Part Time Online Student". Seems its a lie and a myth. So, "Affordable" housing won't take me, and I can't afford any of the regular apartments. I don't make alot of money with my job, I probably qualify for food stamps with my wages, but I'm too proud to take that route, I am pratically in the poverty level of society with my earnings. I cannot afford apartments that cost $800-$1000 a month, and Lord knows I am no where near owning a house. Every aspect of my current way of life qualifies me for "Afforable Low Income Housing", but my status in the University automatically disqualifies me. So, moving day was abruptly canceled and I am forced to live with my sister until...God knows when.

I am seriously considering quiting the University just so I can get a place to live, but I am one year away from my teaching degree...question is, is the degree really worth the trouble anymore?

Honestly...I don't know what I am going to do. I'm pissed off, I'm depressed, I am extremely emotionally unstable right now.
Keep in mind kids, This is happening to an Honorably Discharged Navy Veteran who served her country and sacraficed 8 years of her life, only to end up homeless because she decided to enroll in school to get a degree.

Think about that when you get ready to go to college yourself.

Setting Up For Commissions

STATUS
Commissions: Closed
(Friends Only)
Trades : Closed
Requests : Closed


~: What You Are Paying For... :~
I draw all my images by hand, so more or less, you are paying me for the actual time, labor, and physical materials used (ie: Pencils, lead, paper, ink, pens, erasers). All coloring, shading, highlights and effects are done in Photoshop.
For a Sculpey figurine, you are paying for the Sculpey, Wire for skeletons, paints and glaze. All prices are calculated to ensure fairness. Trust me when I say I am not making much for actual profit gain.

Please keep in mind, the more detail demanded, the longer it takes to complete. Patience is required for the commissioner when an image/figurine requires multiple details. Also, my real life takes priority over artwork, so be aware that I do not have all the time in the world available to me. I go to college, have a job, bills and responsibilities I need to take care of. So please be understanding of these conditions if you choose to commission me.

***Fair warning ahead of time!***
I am good at obscure and nature backgrounds, however, I suck at cityscapes, and I can’t draw any complex vehicles to save my life. So Cars, Motorcycles, Ships (Sea or Space), and just about everything else. What can I do? Roller-skates and Board-thingies. I am trying to improve on those areas, but I give no guarantees.

~: How to Contact :~
Send me a note if you are still interested after looking at the price listings. If you just comment a request on my profile or journal, you will be ignored. Make sure the note's subject is entitled as "Commission Request".
I will only take three Image and only one Sculpey commissions at a time, and its first come first served.
Also, there is no "Wait List". If you don't get in for a commission, you have to "re-apply" when I open back up again.

~: Payment :~

I will only accept paypal. Be sure to send it to; saturn848@yahoo.com
