How Kalhoun came to have an Iron Horde wolf by his side was through an act of desperation on the battlefield. His rifle jammed, his wolf companion dead, he found himself separated from his battalion. 

When attacked by a houndmaster and his beast of war, Kalhoun had no choice but to throw a Tame onto the charging beast and set it upon its owner. It’s lucky that he was able to keep the required eye contact long enough.

That’s also how he acquired an Iron Horde weapon; the houndmaster no longer needed his.

President Obama after Oregon shooting: “Our thoughts and prayers are not enough.”

Hours after today’s massacre in Oregon, President Obama took the podium for the 15th time after a mass shooting. Sounding stern and appearing frustrated, Obama challenged Americans to respond more forcefully to this shooting. His full, impassioned statement is one every American needs to hear.

stop associating asexuality and aromanticism with negative traits

stop equating asexuality and aromanticism with childish behavior and naïveté

stop assuming asexuality and aromanticism automatically means a person absolutely must have been abused

stop deciding asexuality and aromanticism equals never wanting any kind of relationship, whether sexual, romantic, or platonic

stop equating asexuality and aromanticism with aloneness, loneliness, and brokenness

stop assuming asexuality and aromanticism means a person is cold and cut off

but also:

stop shitting on asexual and/or aromantic people for fitting into these stereotypes

and most importantly:

stop saying that asexuality and aromanticism is a thing that should and needs to be “fixed”.

A tool that I’ve found is really handy is a called the Cash Clock. It’s a simple program that measures both the time that you’re working on a piece as well as how much money you should be earning. You can adjust the hourly wage to whatever you feel is right. Simply start the clock whenever you begin working on a project right up until you’re finished. It can give you a clear indication of what you should charge for commissions.

No artist should make below minimum wage for their artwork.

The Cash Clock is found as a download here

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD USE THIS INSTEAD OF CHARGING PEANUTS FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK

Please, please, please at least make sure you’re making minimum wage.

I am reblogging this because even if you don’t actually go download this thing (I personally just keep track of my own time.) – you SHOULD be aware of exactly how much time you are spending making a commission VS how much money you are making.

Please do not make like 2 dollars per hour. That not only hurts you, but it hurts the rest of the artist community because if enough of you work at 2 dollars per hour thinking “This is fine” – it means more and more people will start to expect artists to pump out amazing work at just 2 dollars per hour.

Usually when I talk about this, someone mentions how their art isn’t really good enough to make commissions at minimum wage.  They might have even had someone tell them straight to their face “your artwork isn’t good enough to be this expensive.”

1) That person is a huge dick and can go eat their own ass.  Even if it was true, that’s just a rude fuckin’ thing to say.

2) You’ll actually surprise yourself by how willing people are to pay an artist what they are worth.  If they like your artwork, they will save up for a commission and buy it.

3) If you sincerely think it’s true, then that just means to work harder at your craft until it’s not true anymore.  However, I CAN tell you that every time I make one of those blog posts, it’s because I saw some artist on tumblr charging WAY too low for art quality that deserves way more compensation than what they are charging.
