Kennel Hiatus + Stable Account
3 min read
Okay so... this has been weighing on me the last couple of days so I finally went ahead and did it. I made a new account for my stable that is not a group. I'll be keeping the group open so I can easily organize art from others, but I will be uploading all my horse art on my new account ZyathEstate. If you enjoy my horse artwork, please watch me there!
The reason for this new account is I feel like it's hard to differentiate my kennel hiatus with all the horse artwork I've been submitting lately. I don't want people to think that I'm totally shifting focus, I don't want people reclaiming my dogs, etc.
Zyath Kennels is STILL on hiatus.
I'm not currently doing artwork for my kennel dogs including references, breedings, and shows. I likely won't answer inquiries about my dogs. They're on vacation. xD
Why the hiatus?
I originally took a hiatus due to my summer school getting absolutely crazy. After summer school was over I was on vacation with my boyfriend. Now my Grandma is in a life or death situation after having surgery. I don't think I've cried this hard in a long time over something. I'll be completely honest: DARPG is far more stressful than HARPG for me right now at this point in my life.
I love drawing dogs, and I love all my kennel dogs so much. I love competing with them, I love wracking up titles, and I love all the people. <3 However, I've really been feeling my stable lately due to just how... chill it is. With DARPG I feel pressured to do more realistic pieces, even in my RNG entries my big group Huskies are top notch. In DARPG I have so many dogs to show, so many disciplines, I have references to do, pedigress to figure out, point systems to add up... I just don't need that kind of stress right now.
With my stable I feel like I can experiment and play and draw derpy looking horses without people being disappointed in me. I feel like if I suddenly started drawing all chibis in my kennel people would stop watching me because my kennel art used to be so awesome. People probably already HAVE stopped watching me because of all the RNG stuff. My kennel has totally been eating up all my time that I could be spending with my horses, so I'm enjoying the change of pace, the change of style, and the different atmosphere.
When will the hiatus be over?
My hiatus will continue till I have a verdict over my Grandma. Everyone in my family is hoping she gets better, but right now it's pretty up in the air. She isn't getting any better but isn't getting any worse. If she doesn't get any better (and goes downhill), then the hiatus will expand to give me some time to grieve if worse comes to worse.
I really hope everyone will stick with me and respect my desire to draw something else during this really stressful time. I know that it's my account and I can draw whatever I want, but I've built up a fan base over 1 subject and I don't want to bore you guys or let you down.
Thanks guys!

I'm just going to go ahead and say it. She's officially dying. Her lower intestines aren't working, and despite her being coherent and her blood pressure looking good, it's going to come down to asking her if she wants the plug to be pulled or not. My dad is already looking for her will and... that pretty much sums it up. I'm losing my last Grandma.
-----
Last night around 8 PM my dad got a call and had to go to the hospital. He didn't come home till around 2 PM today. In the middle of the night Grandma had gotten worse to the point of having to be shocked back to life two to three times. They found out she now has pneumonia and are working on treating that.
I was up all night worrying and guarding the house. Mom went to sleep and told Dad she was keeping the house unlocked so he could come in when he got home. Well.. as I said before he didn't come home till the afternoon. I laid down to try and get some sleep when mom left to go to the hospital but.. just couldn't sleep. When she got home she made me some pancakes and I crashed. Just woke up pretty much.
After Dad had woken up from his nap (since he didn't get any sleep either), he went to the hospital again. Right as I woke up, he came back with pizza and good news. She's doing okay right now and is "fighting". She's coherent and really wants to go home.
-----
My dad came home from the hospital around 4 pm. Turns out Grandma is doing all right now and where he was all day was at the doctors himself. His blood pressure was up in heart attack range (from stress even through he says it isn't) so he's got an appointment to see a cardiologist. The doctor instantly got his blood pressure under control though within like a minute so it wasn't /too/ serious. He's on new medication so hopefully this one works. -----
Now more to the present. Several weeks ago my dad me that my other Grandma found out that she had an aneurysm, something that is potentially very dangerous. If it would have ruptured, she would have died. Yesterday at 7 AM she went into surgery to have it removed. I was away at my boyfriend's and we got home around 4 PM. I asked my dad how she was, and he said the surgery had gone fine but the doctor found and removed a lot of 'disease'. I shrugged it off, glad that she was well, but about four-five hours later my dad left the house after getting a call that she wasn't doing so well anymore. He was at the hospital from 8:30 PM till midnight or so I overheard this morning while pretending to be asleep.
Dad left again at 8 this morning. I don't know what's going on and I'm scared. I don't want to lose my other Grandma, not yet. And what's even worse then all of this is... this morning I was laying awake wanting to ask my Dad if I could go with him but I didn't. I don't want to go there... to the hospital. All I can imagine is curling up in the hospital bed with my other Grandma and she telling me she was going to be okay. She gave me her desserts sometimes, let me wear the little heart monitor finger thingy once or twice. When she died she couldn't even remember who I was. I don't think I can do this again.
I need a hug.

Panda Breeding Slot Art Auction Thing
5 min read
Since I have 5 or so slots open, I've decided to open up an art auction for a slot to my Panda girl Sultanne. Sultanne is an nPan related to only ONE Panda starter (Desert Royalty). You MAY use your slot to make a PanPan. I really don't care, however with ALL of my foals I require a slot to the foal produced. That's my only stipulation.
Sultanne has a very short lineage. Click HERE to go to her reference!
She is related to:
128 Dane's Remento (Grandfather)
1861 ArDes Silver Winds (Father)
908 Dane's Shionita (Grandmother)
506 ArDes Desert Royalty (Mother)
4966 GLS Oh, Your Fancy Huh? (Daughter)
4986 Toy Store (Daughter)
Rules / Stipulations:
- Slot won can be used right away, or saved. She is ready to breed at any time.
- I must get a slot to the foal produced.
- Slot can be used to make an nPan, PanPan, or no mutation at all. Doesn't matter.
- Only enter if you actually want this foal. Don't just sell the genotype.
End Date:
August 15th, 2013 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time.
How To Enter:
- Participants will draw SHOW ENTRIES for the horses below. Not just regular images. Show entries!
- Shows can be mini or full shows. 1 High quality full show entry could easily beat several lesser quality mini show entries.
- Shows cannot be Halter or Liberty! I want to see the horses actually doing something.
- Images will be scored with a points system. The user with the highest overall score will win a breeding slot.
- Multiple entries are allowed.
- You MUST MUST MUST link to the show you plan on entering BEFORE you start on your image. I don't want people entering the same horse into the same show, ESPECIALLY for full shows.
My stable colors and tack are Black, Silver, and Blue. Please use your own riders.
Points System:
I will be taking into consideration each artist's skill level and comparing their bids to their gallery. Images will be awarded points between 0 and the max number for that category (listed below). You may add whatever you feel will help you win. Like stated above, a high quality full body, full detailed background image can easily outscore several headshots
- Headshot = 0 to 3
- Full Body = 0 to 5
- Background = 0 to 20
- Handler = 0 to 10
- Story = 0 to 5
- Additional Details (Animation, Multiple Horses, etc) = 0 to 10
- Mini Show Entry = 10 Points
- Full Show Entry = 25 Points
Maximum Score you can earn (with all the bells and whistles) from 1 picture is:
58 for a Mini Show / Headshot
60 for a Mini Show / Full Body
73 for a Full Show / Headshot
75 for a Full Show / Full Body
Horses To Draw:
All horses listed do Driving, Weight Pull, Jousting, and Dressage.
Eventide does Endurance.
If levels matter, Ru and Ichigo would be in intermediate and above level Dressage. The others would be beginners.
Any other questions, please comment or note me!
