My active Instagram accounts

1 min read

Hi everyone! I am not an active member here anymore, but it always warms my heart when I do come around for my annual checkup and I see that people are still looking at my art, adding my works to their favorites and collections and even leaving comments every now and then. Truly, thank you so much!

I've just created new instagram accounts for my art and graphic design works. I will repost some of my favorite pieces from here to "nashmus.art" and "nashimus.design" is mostly for projects I've done at my day job. Look me up if you still want to keep up with my artsy stuff! I don't have much energy to create new things during my free time (thanks for that, children), but I am feeling inspired and I keep buying new art supplies. So maybe in the near future I will make my grand comeback at "nashimus.art"?! Yeah, let's aim for that. :D

Goodbye Piipero

2 min read

A week ago we finally said goodbye to our cat, Piipero. She had a difficult spring. We took her to the vet often to have some teeth removed and then even x-ray examinations. Everything started with brown discharge coming out of her eyes. She ended up having a tumor on her face, near the nose. There was very little we could do. In the end she wasn't able to eat anymore, with all the pain and swelling, so we did the humane thing and put her to sleep. Not an easy decision to make, and I'm still coping with it.

During her last day she was very cheerful. We took her outside in a harness and gave her treats she could eat along with lots of pets and hugs. I kept petting her as she stopped breathing. I wish I didn't have to do anything like that ever again, but I know I'll have to one day. We have another cat, after all. I'm thankful she's doing well for now, better than me.

Having a sick pet is stressful and I haven't been able to enjoy my pregnancy to the fullest. Even though I'm still really sad that Piipero is gone, I'm also a little relieved. Now she doesn't have to adjust to a life with the baby. I did hope they would be able to meet, my first cat-baby and my actual baby. But that wasn't meant to be.

This was an end of an era for us. New one begins in August.

Rest in peace dear Piipero.

Life update

2 min read

Hello! It's been a while, how is everyone?

My previous entry was almost a year old so I wanted to update something. In case someone is reading!

I still work at the same place, using 95% of my creative energy on graphic design. I've sometimes thought about posting some of that stuff here, but in the end I want to keep this place separate from it all. There's something on my portfolio page (link is in the deviantID box) but I'm generally speaking really bad at posting my graphic design works anywhere. Even though sometimes I'm really proud of my accomplishments.

Life is good right now, even though I don't do many interesting things. 5 days a week I'm pretty tired after work and don't do much, I need a lot of time to recharge (introvert problems). During weekends I try to see friends and family and do something nice for myself. "Nice for myself" currently seems to be reading, books about human behavior and schemas have been on my reading list for a while now. Along with several Lezhin comics!

One worry I have is our older cat, Piipero. She is 16 years old and has had some health issues, we've been taking her to the vet several times this past year. But right now she is doing fine, so we're just happy for all the time we can spend with her. We, as in our other cat, my husband and myself.

And that sums up my life at the moment! Such excitement!

Winner decided!

3 min read

Thank youuu, I've reached the milestone thanks to everyone of you!

So far nobody has reached out to me with the exact kiriban (100 000), so I will give the winner another 24 hours. If they don't contact me during this time, the runner-up wins (and I already know who that is).

It's been decided, the runner-up won!

---
Core deal is out I'm afraid, back to regular kiriban prize!
But guess what, while I was waiting for this to happen I got a commission! So I'll be working on that for now... because it happened first!

---

If I reach the 100 000 views during 2017 and the winner also contacts me with a screenshot of the 100 000th view BEFORE the year turns I'll throw in a 3 Month CORE membership as an extra prize! Or maybe my prize drawing becomes the extra?
Dunno but I REALLY wanna reach this milestone!
126 views to go as of right now!

---
YES, that would be AMAZING! And it is also POSSIBLE!
Because there's less than 200 views to go!

Don't forget the kiriban!
I have a delightful 2 week vacation so I'm super optimistic I could also MAKE the kiriban prize during this rare free time.

Now, my journals have become awfully short but that's pretty much all I've got to say again.
... Wait!
Happy holidays! Happy New Year! Happy EVERYTHING!!!

Photobucket noooo

2 min read

I don't know when Photobucket decided to stop free 3rd party hosting, but my site certainly looked like a wreck today! I hope it didn't look like that for very long...

Kiriban is starting to get super close! And also I'm really excited about the dA 17th birthday art template thing, I'm working on my piece but at the same time I've also started watching Game of Thrones so my pace is.. you know, slow. Like usual.

But anyway, I wanna see what you've done with the template, so link me your work if you feel like it!

To Switzerland and back, kiriban and commissions. by Nashimus, journal

To Switzerland and back, kiriban and commissions.

Jun 18, 2017

Well hi! Summer is here again, the busiest time of the year for me on the work department. But I'm starting to get used to the drill and am not as exhausted as before. I've also been working in the same company long enough so I get more paid vacation days, which is nice. I already used some of them for our honeymoon; hubby and I spent a week in Zürich, Switzerland! I don't really like big cities but Zürich was really neat and the public transport system worked like a dream. Everything was quite expensive well priced but heyy, I live in Finland so I'm used to it. Concerning art, I'm still most active on my instagram account

Hellooo~ Just letting you guys know I'm most active on Instagram nowadays. Yeah, I caved in. I recently bought a new phone so it finally made sense to create an IG account. 'Nashimus' and all reasonable variants of the name were already taken so I'm just going by annimammela there. Lately I've only made doodles and sketches that I don't want to post here, but insta is a great place for such sketchdumps and other shenanigans. I'll still lurk in the dark corners of deviantArt but will only submit finished drawings on this site, if I happen to make any. See you around!
