Day Dreaming

A very inspiring piece I drew. I am very pleased with the outcome of it.

Sex on Fire

"Don't mess with a Black Heart, you won't win."
-G-Money's quote

FAQ's

Q. Hi, can we be friends?
A. Sure, get to know me first and I'd love to. I can be a really nice person, given the chance.

Q. Do you take request?
A. No, not anymore. Too many request and not enough appreciation, sorry.

Q. Want to do an art trade with me?
A. If I feel like it then sure.

Q. Do you take private art trades?
A. Yes, but only to long time watchers, well known artist or really close friends. Note me if you wish to make a PAT (Private Art Trade).

Q. Can I draw your characters for you?
A. Why sure, who doesn't like gift art? I would be honored if you did. ^^

Q. What characters am I allowed to draw?
A. Any of them as long as it does not say POC (Private Original Character)

Q. Can I use your art on another site? I'll give credit.
A. No. Even with proper credit applied, I cannot trust that someone else might come along and take it for themselves. So the answer will always remain no. This isn't photobucket or flickr.

Q. How many characters do you have?
A. 156 and still counting. Most of which will not be in Stand Alone, though.

Q. Why so many?
A. I enjoy designing characters. And besides, they are needed for all the herds that will be in Stand Alone. ^^

Q. What are the rules for making a request or trade with you?
A. See my main journal for official rules. They are quite simple to follow and not complicated to understand.

Q. What inspires you the most about drawing?
A. Hmm, good question. I would have to say music, my horse, and pretty much just life itself.

Q. Do you take commissions?
A. That would depend on what you want exactly. Equines=yes, anything else=no.
It's best to note me with your idea and I can tell you otherwise.

Q. May I create one of your Timber Horse breeds?
A. No, that is my privately created breed.

Q. How many books are going to be in your Stand Alone series?
A. As many as it takes, I presume.

Q. Is it alright that I fave your work without leaving a comment?
A. Trust me, I think that someone "faving" my work is a huge compliment all in it's own. I'm not like most people, I don't throw a fit just because you don't comment after you fav, lol.

Q. Who is your favorite character that you've created and why?
A. G-Money all the way. He is what has kept me going through the rough times in my life, so I owe him a lot for it.

Q. Why don't you fave my artwork or my friend's work?
A. I fav the art I like. And perhaps I don't know of your friend, maybe you should introduce them so I can admire their work too. ^^

Q. How come I draw you gifts and you don't draw me anything in return?
A. Someone that expects something in return should not even bother drawing me a gift. That's just plain selfish and rude. I'm not here to draw everyone gifts. I wish I had the time to do that, however. But I'm only here to tell my story, share my art and admire other's work. And any friends I can make along the way that's fantastic too. 'Cause I have met some really amazing people on here, I know that. ^^ (Love you guys!)

Q. What do you support?
A. Team G-Money, my watchers, fans and amazing friends on here, equine artist, and also breast cancer awareness.

Q. Can I give you some advice on your drawings?
A. Sure, if I ask for it. But I don't honestly intend on ever using it even if you give it to me anyway. I have my own style and I am proud to draw and be the way I am. No one is perfect so why should I expect my art to be. I come as I am. ^^ But thanks anyway.

Help for the Holidays?

Journal Entry: Thu Nov 19, 2009, 9:26 PM
---------------------------------------
I never thought it would actually come down to this, but I am near desperate. My Mother’s birthday is on the 19th of this month, and when I looked in my wallet last night and a big puff of dust choked out from the emptiness, I realized that not only was her birthday coming up, but Christmas too. I have no way of getting a job right now so I am left with selling off some of my things so I can buy her something nice for the holidays. I always have money and can always afford her nice things like perfume and jewelry, but this year has been super rough. I’m not coming here begging for you guys to buy my stuff I am just listing it incase you or someone you might know would want something and it would be helping me out.

As if the holidays weren’t hard enough on me. It’s been three years since my Paw-Paw passed away. And ever since then it’s just been me, my Mom and my Maw-Maw, so the holidays are always depressing for us now. But this has really topped it off for me. I have so much expenses coming up. My horse is going to be needing the West Nile vaccine, farrier, a worming and a new fly mask, not to mention his board is fixing to be due. I am just about ready to start pulling my hair out. Stress is really taking it’s toll on me this year. I am seriously thinking about selling off my entire Anime collection which would devastate me, just so I can give my Mom a nice Christmas. She better not ever question my love for her. :rofl: Just kidding. ;P

Anyway, I will probably be adding more stuff as I take pictures, so keep an eye out. It may come down to it and I might start doing minor art commissions, which I would so hate, lol. Let me know by sending me a note if you like anything. Or you can email me here: Monacallisino@aol.com

This tack set was from the Limited Edition Breyer Paul Revere and Brown Beauty set back in 2005. It is in perfect condition and won many live and photo shows back when I showed them.

Okay, as dumb as I’m sure it looks, I made this leather halter and lead set myself. I was so proud of it the day I made it, and it even won in some shows. I was so happy. But now that I have stopped live and photo showing, I have decided to part with this as well. I need the money for the holidays more than my beloved hater set. *tears up* Anywho, I will take $5.00 USD for the halter and lead set. The horse does not come with it, though.

Oh my God, my Mother would so kill me if she knew I had my prized Twilight bag up for sale. She knows how much it means to me. I bought this at the midnight Twilight event the night before the release of the Twilight DVD. I stayed in Wal-mart, yes Wal-mart all day until midnight that night just to buy Twilight. And yes I am a Twi-hard gal. However, desperate times call for drastic measures, and desperate times are upon me, so I must sell off some of my stuff to make money so I can buy my Mom something nice for Christmas. Anyway, this bag is in absolutely PERFECT condition, it was my favorite. On the inside it reads “What’s if I’m the bad guy?” I will take $15.00 USD for it. I paid $22.00.

Again, my Mother would crap if she knew I was selling me clothes too. :rofl: This shirt was given to me by an old friend who never wore it. I’ve wore it may five times, so it’s in great condition.

And no I am not turning into a Twilight hater. I just bought the set for the Team Edward bracelet, which now I wish I had Team Jacob instead. :faint: I never wore this, it never really fit my tiny wrist. (I have tiny wrist, lol).

I’m selling this one for my Mom, she said I could have the money if I sold it, so here it is. It’s a real silver horse charm. Full body. It’s really cute, I should probably keep it for myself.

And yes, this one hurts most of all. I spent over $250 USD on the saddle set alone. Over all I spent about $300 USD on the horse and tack. However, the horse does not come with this set. This is only for the tack on him. The saddle is made of real leather and the saddle seat is made of 100% pig skin suede. The Conchos are real silver, they will be polished before they leave my house. The bit and buckles are made by Rio Rondo. Here is what the set will include: Single ear leather headstall with Rio Rondo buckles and bit. Fully adjustable and will fit most any Classic sized Breyer models. A leather girth that is also fully adjustable. Western Pleasure show saddle with real silver Conchos and Rio Rondo buckles and stirrups. Matching leather engraved tooling breast collar. And lastly, the Navajo show saddle blanket. This is sure to win in your model horse show string, just like it did for me. Everything is in PERFECT condition and will come to you neatly wrapped. $100 USD. (Horse not included)

These Miller "lights" would be a perfect gift idea. They are in perfect condition and all lights work. They are about 12ft long. $8.00 USD.

Hello, I am Briana Monakino, author of the Stand Alone book series. I am also a digital equine artist.
I am inspired to draw my artwork on a daily bases. Music is a great passion of mine and really helps me decide on different subjects to draw.

I joined this amazing site to share my artwork creations with the world, express myself in the only way I know best, and meet new people so I can further admire their work.

I currently own a horse named G-Money, who has inspired the well known character. I was very shocked to find that his simple design made such an amazing impact here on DA. Who knew?

I am quite different compared to most people, which is another reason why I joined deviantart. I can express myself and just be who I am when I come here, which is really a great thing, in it's own way.
