Basically, I'm moving over to FN as my main gallery.

all art will be posted there as and when it's completed.
FA will be updated once a week at MOST. (Aiming for Thursdays to be my FA update day.)

I'll check here for messages and comments and stuff, but I strongly advise you go watch me on FN!

FurryNetwork: https://beta.furrynetwork.com/keihiko/

as for commissions announcements, as usual it'll be patrons first, then the mailing list, then furry network. If there are any slots left over after a week, i'll post the remainder here. But if you want a commission it's best to either sign up for my mailing list (here) or follow me on FN!

Got home about two hours ago after around 22 hours travelling. needless to say i'm super tired cause i never sleep well on longhaul flights. And still super tired after two weeks of walking around Tokyo havin fun~

for those of you who wanted to check out my holiday snaps, they're mostly up on my instagram! https://www.instagram.com/monsterkei/
I felt it was easier to post them there as i went instead of making a folder somewhere.

As for what I'm doing now, I'm going to rest up for a day or two, hope someone on the flights hasn't given me some kinda illness, and rest my back (cause hot damn all my bags were only just under weight allowance oops n that killed my back, plus airline seats are evil)

I'll then be going right to work on the commissions I didn't manage to finish before I left.
So the Daki YCH, waywardlaycan's badge, and my friends commission will be finished ASAP.
It'll be about a week max.

THEN I WILL BE OPENING COMMISSIONS. Ya. Mainly, terrarium badge commissions.
I WILL BE DOING A LIMITED NUMBER OF COLLECT AT CONFUZZLED BADGES! So if you are going to confuzzled and want a badge by me for it, then that's your best bet. I don't have a table or anything, but I'll organise with people a time and place to collect the badges. (I wont take cash on collection for them tho you still have to pay via paypal before I'll draw it)

If you would like to be informed of my commissions opening via email, a full 24 hours before they're open to the general public, please sign up for my mailing list here: http://weebly.us12.list-manage1.com/subscribe?u=e009d61b82ccd0aef63060b48&id=0126437850
and an email will be sent as soon as I can!

ALSO COMING SOON:
I have a bunch of ideas for little keychains and stickers and stuff, They will be of my characters (as commissions for them could bee a lil too pricey for most peoples taste i think due to manufacturing costs), so if you wanna have a say in which of my characters I make keychain and sticker designs of, please vote here: http://www.strawpoll.me/10171859

I've come back with a head full of ideas, so look forwards to those!

as I mentioned in my last journal, I'm about to go to Japan for two weeks!

I'll be flying out there on monday, but i'm staying in a hotel near the airport tonight so I wont have reliable internet from the moment i leave home really. (in england mainly because it'll be on my phone, which doesnt like FA, and in Japan I'll only have my phone and the hotel wifi since my phone is locked to 3 and i'd need to unlock it to use a japanese internet sim)

anyway, so yeh, I wont be on FA much if at all for two weeks from today!

if you need me for anything, i'm most easily reachable via tweet KEIHIKO_GALAXY
or if you leave a comment or note, I'll get back to you as soon as I return to the UK!

Also if there's anyone who wants me to link them to my holiday photos when i get back, leave a comment here! ^o^

see you all in two weeks~~~

First of all is:

Sometimes i get people in stream, (and i dont know if they're regular followers or if they just come for the streams) who repeatedly call me 'she', especially when my mic is on and you can hear my voice.

I would just like to remind people that I'm a guy and to please only refer to me with he/him/his pronouns. thank you.

of course I will excuse and initial confusion, but if I correct you (or someone else corrects you because I'm terrible at noticing things when i'm drawing), please don't make a big deal out of it going "OMG I AM SO SORRY I DIDNT KNOW BLABLABLA PLEASE FORGIVE ME I JUST THOUGHT BLABLABLA" like, really, just say "oh sorry" make the change to the correct pronouns and MOVE ON.

If anyone is corrected but then constantly, repeatedly calls me she/her/hers without trying to correct themselves, or who make excuses as to why they wont change, I WILL be blocking you on everything I can find you on. because of the high likelihood that people who do this are anti-trans or just general dickheads.

this goes for any site you talk to me on, not just streams. I'm a guy, please treat me as such.

SECONDLY:::

I am about to go on holiday to Japan for two weeks.
While I'm there I wont have reliable access to the internet, and even if I do, the likelihood of me coming onto FA is VERY LOW.
I will respond to any comments/notes when I get back.
so please keep this in mind and don't spam me asking why i haven't replied.

I'll be trying to take a lot more pics this time around, but i wont be posting many, if any, here. If you'd like to see any pics I take, please leave a comment about it and I'll link you to the FB album when I get back!

If you have any questions before I go (I'll be leaving on the 24th) ask em quick!

got questions about ANYTHING?
art? general life stuff? trans issues? w/e you want

Ask em here and I'll answer.

nothing is off limits to ask but i reserve the right to not answer any questions that make my too uncomfortable (such as giving my home address and stuff)

In case people missed the submissions!

I currently have a dakimakura YCH going on until the 15th!
The winner will get both the high res file, AND a physical copy of the pillowcase provided by InkedFur in a fabric of choice (from 3 available)

Right now current high bid is $205

you can bid no matter what country you're in (though please be aware that shipping outside the US may cost extra. Shipping inside the US is covered in the auction price)

Any species is welcome! and you can chose if oyu want it SFW or NSFW. and can pick an outfit of your choice!

check it out here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19652734/

Also coming soon!!!
you might have seen me working on it in stream, or seen the full front preview on patreon. But soon. SOON... you'll be able to own your very own Beni... being a cocktease.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19652856/

So I really love drawing outfits, and was wondering, if I made up a base and did some outfits for people to 'adopt', would anyone be interested in them?

What you'd get is your character drawn into the outfit.
they'll be all different kinds of outfits. from gothic, to pastel, to fantasy, apocalyptic, ect.
and you'd be free to stick them on ref sheets n such if you wanted.

They'd be sold at a flat price rate. probably around £15 for flat colour or £20 for shaded.

leave a comment if you'd be interested!

Just to remind everyone,

People subscribed to my FREE MAILING LIST get access to commission slots 24 HOURS before the general public.

Patreon supporters get access to commission slots 48 HOURS before anyone else.

Patreon supporters pledging $20 or more per month get access to commission slots 48 HOURS before anyone else AND 10% OFF COMMISSION PRICES along with all the other rewards for pledging that much. (only valid after 1st months payment is received)

And you can see if I'm still open for commissions by checking my TRELLO

All other commission information including Prices and ToS are on my WEBSITE

I was so so tired all day after the intense wind and rain kept me up all night yesterday night by beating on my window and whistling through the wall vent, so i went to bed as soon as i'd eaten dinner after work and expected to sleep all the way through to at least dawn. but no. alas. my body is fucking weird and decided that 5 hours of sleep was enough and i woke up at 2:30am... i just... what the hell body usually I can't even fucction without like 9 or 10 hours sleep and sometimes i've literally slept for 24 hours... ;A; why can't I wiiiiin?

UPDATE: after 4 & half hours I'm ready to sleep again for fuck sake why body why. at least I'm not at work today xD

I thought I might share/reply to some suggestions I've had on that lil survey, so you guys know I do pay attention to them!
the form is here if you wanna suggest anything/contribute! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b2.....xtm5Q/viewform

Some of these date back to the start of the year~

Under 'more other things you'd like to see from me'
"Bases/Lineart F2U or P2U would be awesome! Not a lot of P2U customizatible refsheet bases are out there that I like. Maybe make something similar to Waitress's base files"
That would be fun! It would be a lot of work so I'd have to plan it out and it'd take some time. But It's something I've actually been considering for a while. Just gotta find the time!

"ych flatprice (where u reuse the base for multiple slots) could be fun & easier for you?"
ah, like the little 'absolute territory' series I did a few years ago? That could be fun! I'd have to work out what to do for it pose wise though! hmmmm

Under 'What kinds of kinks/fetishes would you like to see me draw in future?' / improvements I could make to my work.

"More kinky anal porn. Creampies, rimming, butt plugs, etc. I'd also like to see you improve on your anuses. They're better than most but I think there's definitely room for improvement."
-melts- yissss those are things I'd definitely enjoy drawing more of! As for anus improvement, it's something I'm working on currently! Just trying to work my brain around a consistent way of drawing them for me.

"Watersports, Shibari, Collars"
ALL OF THE YES. Tbh I've wanted to draw more watersports for a while!

About Commission Pricing
"I just wanna give advice about your commission prices! If you don't want advice for them then ignore this, I'm only mentioning it because of the question.. but I was looking over them and I think:
-You should make additional characters +100% of the base price, not +50%
-You should make the difference between a half body and a full body wider (20-40+ pounds between a half body and a full body painting would be reasonable)
-I also think you could charge more for backgrounds! E.g. between 50-100% of the base price, depending on complexity
Basically your prices are fair for the lower priced stuff, but as you get higher in complexity I think the prices should go higher then they do. Just my 2 cents though!!"
I'm not comfortable making additional characters +100% of the base price, but I have upped the price for additionals since this was suggested! I've also upped the prices of the higher complexity stuff. I still find it terribly hard to price myself ;w;

Other comments
"I'm a newcomer to your artwork but I'm really enjoying it so far, your sweet and personable style is inviting and fun to watch, I can't wait to see more from you in the future!"
I'm really glad you've been enjoying it and hope you continue to do so!

"Keep doing what you do best^^ Look forward to see more of your work in the future! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/"
Thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy my work and I'll work hard to keep improving!

if you haven't already, or if you filled it out before the start of the year, it's be really helpful if people would go do this lil survey to help me see what kinda stuff my followers think i should go more of or anything that needs to be improved in my art! (the survey was updated in January so if oyu filled it before then, it's different now and would be cool if you could fill it again!)

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1b2.....xtm5Q/viewform

So, I have only a vague idea of what an Iron Artist challenge even is, but it's something I might be interested in doing.

It would be great if anyone who has done one/knows what it's all about and how it's done could fill me in, that'd be great!
I literally need to know everything possible as I have no idea how they're usually set up or run or anything.

Just to remind people of a couple of little things!

you can keep up to date with any delays to commissions, ect. by following my twitter. I'll post there about any times i'm unable to draw. (for example I'm going away this weekend so wont be able to work on stuff then.)

Happy 23rd to me.

I have bacon.

It's my 23rd birthday next friday and I'm glad I finally get to spend it doing some fun stuff!

Iku (my best friend and waifu) is coming for a few days before and we gonna get some cheeky nandos with the squad (the squad is the two of us we're very picky on who is allowed in the squad)

Then I'm off to Brighton on Saturday/Sunday to hang with Ani (who shares the same b-day as me and is hosting a party) and people!! Ahhhh It's gonna be good!

since my 18th, my birthdays have gone really wrong some way or another and left me feeling like I should just give up even remember I have one xD. But I'm actually excited this year ( ; w ;)

My friend  oniphile has a YCH up or $35 (USD)
