Londonfurs 2moro and Shine book reservation and other stuff
7 years ago
So Im gonna be going to the Londonfur meet tomoro for the first time in ages. https://londonfurs.org.uk/ Im gonna be taking my Gemsuit too and crayons so I can scribble when im in suit for people and you'll get a silly Gem crayon art (which really does look like a kid has drawn it). So if you plan on going and see me there hugs/headpats will get you free drawings hehe.
A work collegue of mine is randomly coming along too. He knows im a furry but doesnt know Im a babyfur so things may randomly get a bit interesting on that front. he knows My character is called gem but none of my online handles or anything like that so err...Yeah, we shall see how that goes...Ho hum. I think he'll be a furry before the end of the day LOL He's pretty geeky and a gamer and I'm drawing him a charaacter badge (he's a hedgehog)
In other news I'm revamping my patreon a bit https://www.patreon.com/squiggle Making things a bit more organised (submitting monthly folders at the beginning of the month so folk can see when wips and finished pieces come in daily rather than submitting the folders at the end of the month) and generally trying to be more on top of stuff. Theres gonna be a monthly free base/ref (this months one is a little kitten boy/girl) and i'm gonna be doing a weekely patreon stream on Sundays. But dont worry for those who arent patreons I'll be doing regular streams for everyone (probably fridays), so it'll just be one stream that's patreon exclusive
If you're a patreon and are owed art please get in touch. I find a lot of patreons very kindly are on a tier that has rewards but never actually see to claim the things they' pay for and that always makes me feel guilty Its very kind folk support me, It means I can work on comics and art and help other folk and have time for all those things so Its really cool of folk to help me out like that, But i do want folk to get the art that they're owed and theres never any problem with poking me and asking for updates on anything, So if you're reading this and havent poked me, please feel free.
It also looks like I've been accepted as a Cushypen artist. http://www.cushypen.com/ This means I'll be doing one image for them a month starting in february. (I already did Februarys submission, its a comic page that I'm pretty proud of) I must admit it's kinda something i always wanted to be a part of but never thought I would have good enough skills to be considered.
I know some folk might be a bit like "Star! You're a sellout putting art behind a paywall" But before anyone starts that, lets just point out that i do private commissions all the time, stuff you will never EVER see. With Cushypen you will see the art free eventually, it'll just be a year later than those who opt into the site. Also with such talented artists already on the site and the fact I'll be able to work on a pic of my own ideas and design means I'll beable to try different techniques and ideas Ive been wanting to play around for ages with but havent been able to cause I cant really experiement with style on someones commission, and get proper constructive criticism and hopefully hone my art a bit cause jeez does it need it. So If this all goes well you could start seeing some artistic improvement from my stuff which will benefit everyone so HUZZAH for that!
I was off dieting whilst christmas new year happened but im back on it now and losing weight again so feeling happy about that, still a million to go but definetly on the downward trend which has gotta be a good thing.
OOH And hopefully next week the new box of Shine books might be here so for anyone not in the US (people in the US can get a copy here https://www.rabbitvalley.com/item/9.....nastasia-Bryce ) But anyone not in the US who didnt get a book from the first batch They're £20 Drop me a note with "shine book reservation" Your name and address and I'll put one aside for you.

It pleases me that you're happy and busy.
Hugs you and pats your headfur, and messes it all up for you, too!
Wish I could be there to see you.
By the way, what ever happened to that 8 month visitor you were supposed to get? Did that happen?
Keep up the awesome work, Star. Don't worry about the ones that are haters and what not. Just do what you think is far. <3
Congrats on being a cushypen artist! First I heard of Cushypen.. o.o! *goes to check it out.*
How I wish i could meet up with you there too and give little Gem some much needed head pats, but alas, I live over on the other side of the ocean from you, in the USA... It's easy for me to forget sometimes that you hail from the UK, I do hope the weather is nice enough for you around this time of the year~
And Gemma! *gasps* I never ever thought you felt that way about your art, but I guess all of us artists are our own harshest critics...
If it ever means anything to you, to me personally, I rank you right up there in the higher leagues of ABDL/babyfur artists/writers out there, as I always have since your humble beginnings on Devaintart as Toddlergirl/Sammy all those years ago. Your stories have always enthralled me, and your art has only gotten better over the years as you kept on at it! (^^)
You seriously rival the like of Carotte and Pink-Diapers in my eyes. Speaking of Pink, she misses you back on DA, we'd wish you drop on by sometime if only to say hi.. But I can see you are a very well adored and busy person nowadays, so you do you honey- just peeze don't over stress yourself too much with all this new found attentions! ^^; dats all i weally ask
