Sorry for lack of my own updates. Sleep issues and the like have me off again, so I'm mostly just catching up while I try and set things right. But for now:
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/zeara/ Is in a really rough spot himself, and I'd like to help get a bit of attention out for him. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7319025/ Check here for details. He's taking as many emergency commissions as he can, including animations. If interested and able, please, drop him a line and/or possibly spread this info around if you can.
Everyone needs help sometime, and maybe there's something you guys are interested in from him.
