One looking for feedback on the calendar art so far. How are you all liking the fantasy seasonal holiday theming of the calendar pieces so far.
Two, what sort of pieces are you all looking forward to seeing in the near future to just put up fore everyone to see?
Three, my commission and are open, but I don't get much engagement there. What would make my commission and YCH art more appealing. As much as I don't like the idea of having to sell art to make money, I do kind of need money for food and bills and housing etc. yay capitalism 🙃
Should I like... Make a blatant "commissions open" piece, examples, price points thing?

Also also, my patrons do get a gradual acquisition towards a commission instead of one lump sum. So if you wanted to gradually pay to a commission in the future, you all could take that route if that sounds appealing? I recommend noting for that what you are building to since it gives an idea of at what point you get that reward.

Feel free to DM me or comment me here with your feedback

A day meant for military casualty remembrance, but screw it, Remember all the people in your life who you've lost and have a day of remembrance. Have something they liked to eat or drink or play a game you used to play together. do something for you in their memory

I am Officially free of the Military, my last contracted day was yesterday. now I just have to wait for Household goods to take my stuff to where I told them, and move out of my apartment. It has been a very... 6 years... a very very 6 years

Really where to even start. So some clown has been stealing my art, claiming my character, and just running amuck.
We all know there ain't much that can be done in the community, besides spreading awareness.
This guy probably isn't even on FA, or well not one I can track down.
So what's my response, a free art raffle for those folks willing to help out.

Happy New Years, here is to hoping for a better 2025 than we had for 2024.
I am personally looking forward to my military contract finally being over in about 4 months, though it will make things maybe a little financially tough for a while. but between using the opportunity to actually finish my degree and look into actually doing work I would like to do and not be in perpetual state of Jet Lag from having a schedule that flips my day and night 12 hrs every other month for the last 5.5 years. I think I should be more consistent as well ^^

https://artistree.io/faywild
Made myself an Artistree account for anyone who wants to commission me. has multiple forms to select what you would like and fill out details about the commission under any given option.
Commission prices are the same roughly as they are here but just organized in not a 5 mile long journal. Commissions are open and there is an option for 3D art just keep in mind I am rusty because I don't get 3D commissions as much as I do illustrations
https://artistree.io/faywild

Looking for suggestions of what to draw next
Also coming up with my own hypnovember list so if you all have a particular prompt you want to see drop it down below

Maybe it's just that it falls on or around Labor Day, which I've never really seen as a big holiday, just kind of a random set of days off in September. But having consistently had family and friends simply overlook and do other things on the day, even when I do attempt to make plans for it, kind of just reinforces the melancholy I get this time of year.
My father at least texted me, everyone else I had to go out of my way to contact. Tried making plans with my mother since she lives nearby to go to some museums or something simple, but they went down to their other home like they do every month.
Like there is that simultaneous feeling of, I don't really care anymore and haven't for a long time. But also of, I kind of wish birthdays were ever a more positive experience. Like, if I hadn't gone out of my way to call people I would have gotten a single text that day even acknowledging it. My mother, despite me having brought up plans for it, completely forgot about the day.
Is it just middle child thing, is Labor day a bigger holiday than I think?

I am at Anthrocon, cube say hi if you are here as well.
I have a head I made myself it is not very good XD

Would you all be interested in me making a discord server to chat and share art and updates more regularly. Or is just posting art fine?

Birthday is coming up on the 2nd of September, but having just moved to the DC area a couple months ago I don't really know anyone in my local area, and have no desire to hang out with my coworkers. And while I have family about 2hrs away, they are going to be out of state for a few weeks.
So I once again have no one to spend my birthday with.
Debating going to the Smithsonian that day since the have it off work and I've never been.
Should I do an art stream for the first time in forever or a meet and greet in VRC? Maybe do an art raffle to get my mind off of spending my b-day alone again.

Just moved into my new apartment after traveling halfway across the globe from Hawaii to the DC Metro area. My household stuff just arrived today so I can get back to work on art and upload stuff I didn't before I left Hawaii on the 26th of last month. My car apparently has still not shipped, gotta love US efficiency. my home goods arrived before my car even leaves the dock

Just moved into my new apartment after traveling halfway across the globe from Hawaii to the DC Metro area.

My car apparently has still not shipped, gotta love US efficiency. my home goods arrived before my car even leaves the dock

I just moved from Hawaii to DC for work. My stuff arives in about a week, the car some time after that even. And if anyone is interested in splitting rent for a roughly 1k ft apartment in MD just East of DC I'm open to offers. Also since my stuff is coming in soon I'll actually be able to work on art again that I can upload.
Commissions are open still if anyone is interested in getting something. just be aware there is a delay till my art tablet comes in

I want to redo some of my oldest art pieces. I have already picked out a couple that I want to do again, but if you have a favorite piece from the past that you want to see me redo after years of improvement throw a comment down below with a link to it
Only redoing my own art, if it is a commission I got from someone else I cant "Redraw it" but I could still redo the pice in my own style

Went in earlier today to get my impacted wisdom teeth removed. All went fairly well, luckily I didnt feel anything durring though I was suposed to be fully sedated but either they changed their minds or the sleepy meds didnt work cuz I was awake the whole time.
Face feels a bit weird especially my lower lip and right side of my jaw but that should dissipate in the next few hours to days. If it persists for a week I get to go in again and get examined for nerve damage.
I'll be uploading 2 pages of mindless this week as the next one is pretty short.

September starts my class on 3D fundamentals so I may be making little short 3D projects to post here as I go through the class. It's only a month so I likely wont get anything polished out put if any of you are interested in seeing what I come up with or have tips and tricks for Z-Brush, Maya, and Blender it would also be useful.

So it's been up for about 6 hours now, and the reception so far has been positive. now that's of the 12 that have reacted to or commented on it so far. but as of yet haven't gotten any hate for it

So maybe surprisingly given the art that I do for the most part. but I've yet to come out to my family and friends. Well till later today. I set a time and day that I would do it just to hold myself accountable and after work this evening going into my next few days off I'm making it public to my family and friends. The anxiety is honestly kind of killing me and I don't really know what kind of reaction I'm going to get. So here is to hoping for the best

So I have the final quote with all the parts and a timeframe for it to be done. Looks like it'll be about 8-14 days before it'll be done and I can pick it up. Eating up most of my savings to both fix and upgrade my computer. I'll see about hooking up my tablet to my old garbage laptop and getting some quick simple work done or some YCH's if anyones interested.

So I was going to start uploading a comic I was about done with, it's a remake of the mindless image series but with some level of story and diologue. Unfortunately my graphics card went kaput. My computer is currently in the shop being fixed up and I'm upgrading everything while I'm at it, it's a 5+ year old computer.
Anyways while I wait the several weeks itll likely take to get a new graphics card in. I can still upload the first kind of cover page of the comic in its sunshade or partly shaded form if you are all interested in still seeing that.
Also you can view the fully colored version on my patron though it is currently only available to paying members, there is also rough of Dwindling soul and its fully rendered cover as well as some exclusive content and alternate versions of some of my art.
There is also a community Discord in there for members, if the link doesnt work let me know and I can let you in. Once I get my computer back I plan on streaming semi regularly as well as posting poles.

Hope this isnt to much of an info dump, I hope you all have a great day

To start, No they did not get any of my info or money from me.

There is a scam ring that has been targeting artists posing as hiring agents with different gaming studios, actually going through an online interview process to gain peoples trust and then asking them to pay for supplies and training with a "guarantee" that they will reimburse you later once they have the fund.
1: if you receive an e-mail asking for an interview from a gaming company, check their website to see if they are even hiring for said positions and to check their hiring policies
2: most Hiring agencies will not ask you to download anything, or request they talk with you over a Private Messaging app like Telegram, Skype, etc.
3: if you do decide to take the interview know that no company is going to hire on the spot, any real business has lots of candidates and will usually get back to you via email or by phone for either a follow-up interview or to inform you that you have been accepted.
4: no interviewer will ask you to pay them or a third party for supplies or training, especially not without a legally signed contract.
5: they may offer you forwarded payment to "pay for the supplies and training"
Basically, if it's via IM services most likely a scam, if they offer or ask for money scam. If they say you have the position on the spot probably a scam.

If you believe you have been a victim of such a scam, you may fill out a complaint form at https://complaint.ic3.gov/ and https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ detailing as much as possible.
Also, make sure your bank's security department is open in case the put your account on hold after making a report

I set up a Patreon account with some unique benefits not found here or on other sites. though I am not entirely sure how to set everything up so if anyone knows how those shenanigans work it would be greatly appreciated.
On there I currently have 3 tiers for 5$/15$/30$ but I just kind of picked the tier prices at random. I also wanted to know if I should give the private discord server to all patrons or just the last 2 tiers for now? currently, it's set up with only the last 2 tiers have the discord server which admittedly is also a work in progress, but it at least exists.
I wanted to set it up to be product-based instead of monthly but something about my current plan doesn't allow that so if anyone has insight on how that works?
The intention is to have a source of income for when I start working on my comic, as it is there has been little incentive to work on them as they don't make me any money and they take a long time to create that I could otherwise spend doing commissions. On top of that, it'll allow me to interact with and get feedback from people who are interested in seeing a good product. I'll finally get around to completing "Dwindling Soul" as well as start working on in a fan-voted order my other characters backstory comics. that is Arawn, Viata, Kalani, Alvacraft, Nalini, and Luka. as well as getting out some general world-building info

Also also I am working on making a portfolio website using WIX but I've never built a website before and if anyone is willing to help me get it set up it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm working on making an application sheet but in the meantime, shoot me a note here or on my socials if you are interested in getting a commission.

Rules:
*You will pay in advance before I start working on the image. However, you will pay in the order of commissions. That is when I am ready to start working on your piece is when I will ask you to pay. Please pay within 2 days of being notified that your piece is ready to be worked on otherwise I will skip over it and move onto the next person in the queue. If for some reason you are unable to pay at that time but are expecting to have the money soon, please let me know in advance and I can push you back in the queue.

*If you have a character reference sheet with at least a front and back that is very helpful as well as having a good idea of what you are looking for in advance, even if it's several ideas I can work with you to figure out what exactly you want to be made. I say this cuz I know what it's like to want to commission someone but not know which idea you want them to make, so just put the options on the board and we can talk about it.

*Limit of 3 alterations during the sketch phase and 1 minor alteration before the final draft. don't ask me to draw something entirely different when the image is basically done. if you want another picture you need to pay for it.

*If you want to keep the image private, tell me in advance otherwise it will be put up on my page when it's done and by extension scooped up by bots and posted on just about every site, that I will not track down for you because they won't take it down anyways. trust me, I have tried.

*I do NOT draw cub/child porn, if your character looks like a child I will not put them in a pornographic image.

*I do NOT draw watersports, scat, gore porn, age play, diaper fetish, CBT, inflation, extremely over or underweight, vore, and likely more. Ask if you are unsure and I will clarify.

*If you seem sketchy. I will not do business with you.

*If you are a complete ass I will not do business with you. If I have already started working on your image I will refund your commission and then quit doing business with you. most likely followed by me blocking you. And yes I will take screenshots as proof so if you try slandering me I can show people just how unreasonable you were to work with.

*I will give regular updates to keep you informed on the progress. If I haven't updated you in 2 or 3 days, it's probably because of my day job where I work 12+ hour Panama shifts so I'm probably exhausted and sleeping.

Commission form:
Commission type: eg. Sketch, line art, painting

Pose and scene details: include references if you like
