.....looks around Dang, it really has been a long time. Seems like an empty room lol. I hope some of my watchers read this, as I've missed you and art soooo much!
Here are some Updates on Life, and when the "heck" I'm gonna post some NEW art stuff!
Life Updates:
- About 2 years ago I changed my deviant art name, from Grim-Raider, to GrimzyRaider. Sounds better don't it? lol
- About 2 years ago I submitted
and then disappeared from existence. (here on DA) This makes me really sad. >_>
and then disappeared from existence. (here on DA) This makes me really sad. >_>- About 3 years ago I got promoted at my RL job, and working 60-65 Hours a week. The new income was great, but my free time was limited, and still currently is.
- About 4 years ago I got rekindled into retro video game collecting. I actually made a YouTube channel, and posted live footage and recaps. www.youtube.com/channel/UCCUtG…
As of 2 years ago, I haven't updated the channel. This makes me sad as well. ):
- In 2017 I started playing Pokemon GO. At first I was just a casual player, but later in the year I got more and more into it. I became hard core. This consumed most, if not all my free time, aside from work.
I ended up with 2 level 40 accounts, my main account has 110 Million XP. This year I made a THIRD account, and got it to level 33. lol I also played ingress and got to level 10 so I could help my community and submit new stops/ gyms. Later this year I stopped playing for many reasons (this month actually) since I rather invest my free time in art or Youtube, I want to rekindle both. PokemonGo wasn't all bad, as I met really reeeeallly good friends IRL because of it. I am greatful for that. If I do play again, it'll only be causally again, no more hard grinding. I still remain active (reading) in my Pogo Community Discords, as I am an Admin in it.
- About 1 year ago I bought my first ever house. Moving was good, but because of my busy life: work and very little free time that was drained by PoGo and friends, I still have a lot of work to do on the house till Im happy with it.
- I'm still single lol So many of my friends and family have gotten married and stuff, kinda makes me feel lonely and out of the loop. I am happy for them. (:
- I made an Instagram account where I sometimes post updates and fun stuff. www.instagram.com/grimzyraider… Haven't posted on it that much, but might change that. lol
AND now for ART updates:
- Commissions are closed until further notice.
- I've recently started to work on several prints in hopes of attending anime conventions next year. One is a One Piece piece, the other is a Fairy Tail piece.
BTW just want to mention I've watched ALL of fairy tail, I'm so sad it is over now. I do miss it. It had some touching moments, and I LOVE the series.
Both of these art pieces will be posted here when I finish them.
- I tried to apply for an Art table at AX but they sold out (currently on the wait list). I have also applied for Fanime 2020, hope I can get in. I really want to attend another convention, since this both inspires me and makes me want to work on stuff!
- I will be working on a Halloween Piece this year as well. Should be up by Oct 31.
- I DID post an art piece this year, even though its just an ID:
.
. - As far as my webcomic Invader ZIM: Operation Doomsday, it is still on hiatus, mainly because I need to find a flat color person to help me out.
BTW I did watch Invader ZIM Enter the Florpus. I loved it! Might do fanart.
-If your still reading this ILU lol, thank you for taking the time to read this and still following me.
Anyway, that's whats been going on with me. How have you guys been? Anything new?
Thanks! Next update will be art! See you soon!
Even if no one reads this, just wanted to put my thoughts onto paper perse lol

Commissions OPEN! Updated prices :)
5 min read
So now that I'm all done with requests, I thought it would be a good idea to open commissions! 
It's been a while since I last had taken them, so yea, feel free to note me if your interested!
This time around I've lowered my prices a tad, since I need some extra money...... I'm flat broke right now! Dx ALSO! I'm able to make bookmarks and buttons of your commission as well! Just let me know if you'd be interested in that!
Here are the details:
Sketch Commissions = Inked Line Arts (Best Deal!)
Examples:
For a full body/knee up drawing of 1 character I charge: 5$
For an additional character, I charge a +3$ for up to 3 characters.
Note: There is a 3 character limit per commission.
Only restriction is no backgrounds.
If you commission me more than 3 times, I will offer a free sketch of 1 character.
Regular Commissions = Fully Colored Finished Works
Examples:
For a full body/knee up picture of 1 character I charge: 10$
For an additional character, I charge a +5$ for up to 2 characters.
Note: For any additional characters past 2, I charge 10$ again, and then +5$ for any additional characters after that. (The only reason is because drawing more than 2 characters takes me a longer, plus I think it's fair)
Simple to no background only. Please specify if you want a simple background, otherwise just say blank. IF you'd like a more complex background (please specify), it will be a little extra.
Bonus
If you commission me more than 3 times, I will offer a free commission for up to 2 characters, fully colored, with a simple background.
To order a commission, please read the following:
Send me a NOTE with the subject of "Commission" and fill out this below-
Email: (To send you files, if you'd rather me send them to you through notes, just say "notes").
Number of Characters:
Description: (Here's where you tell me what you want. Be as descriptive as possible XD).
References: Link me some references. If you don't have references, please describe the character(s).
Background (if applicable):
After you send me a PM I'll confirm your request and ask you to send payment. I accept payment through paypal. I also may accept payment through mail, BUT IF possible, please, through paypal.
Imporant: Please send your payment as a Gift/Other so I can get the full amount. ;_; Please pay the fee yourself. Thank you.
As the commissioner, I reserve the right to post your commission in my gallery/ portfolio. However, the picture/ the rights belong to you.
Note: I will start drawing out your commission when payment is sent.
ALSO, pretty please, do NOT rush me. I WILL finish your commission, just not the second you request it. Hope you understand.
I want your picture to come out the best I can possibly make it, and sometimes it takes a little extra time.
Thanks for watching, more to come!

Happy New Year! And Half a Year Update!
3 min read
Heelllooooo, everyone, well if anyone still watches me on here. lol! HNY to you all!
I know, I know, I've been MIA for more than half a year as far as art. There really isn't an excuse, other than just work and conventions. It was mostly laziness, though.
I've got a couple of pieces that were almost done, but was too lazy to finish, so I might be posting an art dump soon on that. I DO have good news however!
I will be working on all new stuff this year! ZIM stuff and not ZIM stuff! Posting artwork at least 2 a month is my New Years Resolution! Aanndd I will hopefully keep true to it. XD
SO! In order to start achieving this, I will be opening 4 Free Requests starting now! Send me a note or comment on here to reserve your slot! These requests will be cleaned linework only, but I will send you the .PSD so you can color it if you'd like. Kind of like a late Christmas present! 
As a side note, I will be working on new and improved convention merchandise! So keep an eye out on my online store! grimraider.storenvy.com/
Conventions I plan on attending: Anime-Expo, Fanime, and InvaderCON 3: Final DOOM. I'll make an update journal once I can confirm these and more.
ALSO, Add me as a friend on Pokemon Y! Always looking to trade and battle! My Friend Code is: 3625-9440-4961
So yea, help me out, take advantage, and once again Happy New Year and happy late holidays! Hopefully this will be an active and prosperous New Year!
ALL DONE
1. Flairina DONE
2. PiggyTornado DONE
3. Taijey DONE
4. klnq DONE
5. animemaster9009 DONE
