So...I see we are still lost in this NSFW thing.
Ok, so, and I hope more people spread this around....we need to fix this misinformation that loves to come around.

If you are an Artist that makes NSFW Artwork. YOU - ARE - FINE.
What paypal has a strict rule against, IS - SEX WORK

Drawing a Dick, Drawing a Wolfdude Fucking a Fox Guy, is NOT - SEXWORK.
You are NOT breaking the Rules or TOS for Drawing Pictures...pornographic or Otherwise.
ART, IS NOT, SEX WORK

But, Paypal isn't going to know, or investigate weather your Message means a Drawing, or maybe its just code for sex.
It sounds suspicious, so they are going to Fire 1st under the assumption that their TOS is being broken....AKA, somebody is doing SEX - WORK.

Once again...a Drawing, is NOT, Sex Work. But the weird and NSFW stuff you might post in that Box, is NOT going to be clear, and they have no reason to assume somebody isn't trying to be sneaky.

What do you do? Whats the Solution?
DONT - TYPE - ANYTHING - IN THAT BOX.
But if You REALLY need your customers to do so, like as a sort of Tracker to make sure you get payment....Learn how to Generate Invoices. Or at least Create your Own Order#.
Like, Discuss in Notes to type in Order#2276948934. Or create any number salad you can think of. That way, you can track who paid if you dont want to learn to use Invoices.

Paypal is Collaborating with FA with Shinies.
If thats happening, then IT - MAKES - ZERO -SENSE - THAT PAYPAL WOULD BAN YOU OVER NSFW
Dragoneer (Before his Passing) Got this whole system set up, OBVIOUSLY, he would need to tell Paypal about the website, and he wouldn't be able to hide it has ALOT of Adult Content.
So think about that for a minute.....it means NSFW Artists and Buyers ARE FINE.

Just once again, the Raunchy Crap that might be typed in that Box, MIGHT sound like Sex Work.

Just Stop Typing Weird Shit.
Set Up a Order Number between you and your customers for tracking.
Or, Learn how to Generate Invoices.

Please, Spread this around to everyone in Panic.
Stop this Hysteria

Thank You for attending my TEDtalk

Post your OCs / sonas in the comments below and I'll have a look at all their pictures and I'll pick out what my favorite picture of them is.

Randomness as I wind down for the evening and get ready for the next day.!

~Stay Safe

Thanks to a friend (you know who you are, ya bastard XD)
I MIGHT have another character...or 2 in the works.

But as Im planning and writing, it kinda hit me....
Any of you have Shy Characters?!
I do have one....ONE....Alterise. She has Herd Mentality deeply ingrained, preferring to be in groups for safety...and she is inherently fearful of Predator Species. Sharp Fangs, especially on a beast MUCH bigger then her do trigger her Flight Response.
But besides typical PREY behaviors, she is shy, and soft-spoken...usually.

Just randomly curious (and I love OC conversations) anybody else have shy characters/Sonas?

Do you actually Plan to use them in the Future?

When you see an adopt and you place a Bid in an Auction, or Purchase Via Buyout for the Asking Price, do you actually have plans or intend to use it?
I know a couple of people who have admitted to me, they just want to support the Artist, and that is absolutely AMAZING of them, especially the People that Spend the Big Buck and do the complete AB - Autobuys

But then...a few of them I notice....dont even use them....and its...VERy upsetting.
I wont rant about about Money, because thats not the point, the point is, just buying a design to claim the rights to it...and then...quite literally never using it for anything.
And not just myself, but Ive seen people get very upset about this, because maybe they wanted it and had plans, and now its gone to somebody who just lets it sit and not see ANY use. Ever

Its the Owners Right, dont get me wrong or misunderstand me being a Crybaby. (Even though I am)
But IDK, just kinda sucks y'know.

Sometimes I wonder about attempting to ask the person, if I compensate them 50% if I could Co-own. I know that probably sounds very silly and stupid. But for real, its very upsetting to see people just buy a design, and NEVER use it.
Again, its their Right. They won it and paid for it fair and square. Again...just sucks lol

Anybody else agree or disagree?
Just ramblings.

Stay Safe.
HAPPY 1st of TURKEY MONTH

Ill admit, MAN, this Holiday really snuck up on me...but Ive been distracted with IRL crap....
And I hate that I can't Contribute to this Years Halloween Holiday with any Sexy Or Spooky Themed image.
Sorry gents, maybe next year.

Might try for the next 2 Holidays.
Not 3, because I dont do New Years Art.

Happy Halloween & Happy Holidays!~

Stay Safe

Im not here for it

I know you cant escape it, and its 100% involved in our lives, worldwide. And this is one of the few place I can - HOPE - to escape it, at least temporarily.
I hate this phrase, but consider it My Safe Space

I can live dangerously in reality when I step outside.
But inside: no beef, no drama

I try to be tough, stoic, and uninvolved.
But Im human like everyone else.


Stay Safe

My newest batch of Bullshit is uploaded!
Sometimes I forget how much I commission, but its always fun!~<3

Hope Everyone is good.
Happy Fall (FUCK YOU SUMMER HEAT)
depending where you are....

Stay Safe

Maybe its a Language Barrier, or...something else.
IDK.

An artist whos work I...mostly like, uploaded a type of image, and I liked it enough to looking at possibly commissioning in the future.
I study galleries, and TOS.

But, I saw what they JUST UPLOADED...listed as a NO.
This...confused the fuck out of me. I double checked the whole TOS, and saw no...specifics or leeway. So...I sent them a Note for Clarification.

The responses I got were short and Blunt.
Thats FINE!

But...they didn't answer my question AT ALL, and it sure AF didnt address the fact they had a type of image...that is listed as a NO. I just try to ask if its specific, or if its just a once and blue moon thing....and they dont seem to understand,
They just pretty much said "No in genera; (Paraphrased) but Im still trying to get clarifacation....Its listed as a NO...but you drew it....and as a commission...

IM CONFUSED AS FUCK.
If you dont do NSFW of it, FINE.
But do you do SFW of it?....I cant get a clear answer.

And....the lack of clarity here, just killed any small amount of interest or love I had in the artist.
Just...shitty customer service.

((No, I will not namedrop. Do not ask))

I don't normally do these, but its been a while, I wanna give it a shot, and I wanna give advertisement to this artists skills <3

Part of me feels like I made a journal like this already, but eh, I feel to lazy to sift through my Previous Journals.
WHO KNOWS, I might see some new OCs, or I will recognize some with new images!~<3

Specifically OCs....YOUR OCs...not Canon - Fanart of per-established Characters in Media.
Im a Lover of personally made ORIGINAL Characters.
Naturally, they can be inspired from a Character / Series. Thy just need to be Human....but Ill bend a tiny bit and allow Human - like. Cause Im sure this community has more of those then Outright Humans

Anyway, SHARE BELOW!
I have No issues or Preference for - General / Clean, Mature / Sexy or Adult Images.
Share them All!!!

So far (Posted at least) I have
Helena (Mature)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18981182/
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/18981217/
She is literally just a Human Version of Sixty, same....everything minus the canine details.
I guess if ANYTHING else could be different between them. Helena is much more of a Cage Fighter, and depicted more as a Vampiress while her Canine Form is more of a Actress...but still equally Man-Eater lol

and
SilmaGC (Adult)

Traveling Well Seasoned Sage...that...often Finds/Puts himself into "Situations" wit the Local Fauna Beastmen and Demons

Uploaded my newest batch!
Honestly, I took a little longer to do it then intended, Ive been sitting on a few pictures, but just finally decided todays was the best day XD

Also, Im 35 today
w00t!

We survived another FA Update.
Hope nobody lost their login info!

Back again with a classic Spirix Rant
Noting Major or important, no alarms, just annoyed venting
Getting it out of my system in a healthy-ish way.

So, I wasted some money on a handful of Portraits to try and get basically a "Panting Dog" type of image.
(Nothing expensive, I am a great bargain hunter)

But, all but one image, seems to draw the tongue small and still mostly in the mouth, even though I have pointed out: WITH IMAGES/PHOTOs as Reference. And, I notice they all look like basic human tongues, and not canine/dog tongue.
Again, I went out of my way to get references, CLEAR VISUALS.....and all but 1 person just insists on drawing a short and small looking human-like tongue.

Are they that hard to draw, even with references (with different angles...but Im detail oriented)
Or they just scary and alien? "To real" like some people say about "realistic Animal-accurate" Junk?

SO FUCKING HARD TO FIND?!

And yes, there are quite alot of them, but whenever I ready for something, they are just gone or unavailable!
And even worse......most are just Wolf or Dragon Artists.....and are both quite expensive.

Only Solace I have, is there is no shortage of Feline / TLK artists...just once again...bloody expensive!
Just sucks they arn't a focus atm.

But LoL just complaining to give SOME activity on my page....and a very light request to see if ya'll know any feral artist I might have missed that might be open..and are NOT Wolf & Dragon Artists
I need variety, Im not part of these Clans XD

(Thankfully TLK is plentiful)

Thank You to everyone who posted in my previous crybaby journal.
I just needed to vent my frustration.
We all have these moments, at least I didnt go scorched earth.
XD

I already talked to the artist about it.
MAYBE they'll make the needed fixes, but if they don't, its whatever, Ill grow up and get over it in time.
Life Moves on...

Stay Safe Everyone.

The issue was resolved
A firm reminder, I was just venting (being a baby) that my description for a free picture wasnt done correctly, potentially because I opened room for error by sharing to many ref links for an idea.
Its a bad habit born from past commission experiences

Regardless, the artist was nice enough and quick to make the corrections.

Journal will remain for archiving....
Even if irrelevant and frankly childish.
Im not afraid to show Im human
And will not share the artist....

Im just upset and being a big baby here.

Got a free picture (yay) and its for a tiny idea. Provided the neccessary refs n details, but the refs are on a separate image hosting site because I didnt upload them yet.
So because of that, I provided a link to my gallery here on FA, solely as proof I own the character.

Thought I was just covering my bases.
But I get the art (yay) and I noticed the art includes details from his VERY 1st ref, that I didnt provide in my description, that is buried in my gallery.
Part of my description, I posted his new ref (soon to be posted) and, it got completely ignored.

Im looking at this and wondering, if this would have been avoided, if I didnt try to be considerate and link to my gallery as proof of ownership.
Because, doing so, gives people the excuse to ignore my details and just choose what they like instead.

Its free, so I cant complain that much.
But it makes me fume, that I took the time to write something, just for it to be ignored.
Is it My fault for being considerate and linking to my gallery just to prove ownership, and that Im not stealing a character?!

Why?.... WHY do people apologize for flooding my inbox with new uploads?!
DO EET

UPLOAD MOAR

I WANNA SEE THE NEW COOL, BADASS, AND SEXY

.......Soonish I should be doing the same...its been a while.
Just trying to get a few more things done 1st, because I just like Batch Uploads, lol

Hope everyone been good-ish

Stay Safe

For the Longest Time, I used to think this was FUCKING LAZY.....
Literally just taking a Pikachu and saying this is My OC/Fursona.
But, over time, Ive seen some people do fun things and add some personal touches that, actually sometimes make them look really cool.

Digimon: especially Renamon and Veemon.
Pokemon: pretty much every cool looking and popular pokemon gets made into an OC.
Monster Hunter: I dont see them as much, but since Rise, Ive seen a small uptick in OCs (Mainly Palamutes)
101 Dalmations: which, really surprises me, I didnt think the Cartoon created such a Fandom
Lion King: TLK...this one Im slightly apart of, TLK being my fav disney movie, this fandom is FUCKING MASSIVE.

Of course there is more that I haven't listed, but over time I kind of found this kind of neat.
I kind of avoided it for abit, but Im finally starting to stop lying to myself.... -Kaji- is a Fanmade OC of Red XIII.
-His original Art- looks more Feline then Canine, so I was kinda able to skirt around that association (At least in my head) But, Im starting to come around to the idea....as much as Im a Cat-Person, I think I wanna make Kaji more Canine, and stop hiding the fact he's based off of Red XIII....besides...we only see Red XIII / Nanaki, but its obvious that there is more like him

Anyway, Slightly Bored Ramblings, haven't done one of these randomass journals in a while.
Hope everyone is good and healthy

Stay Safe

The Long and Short.
Dont Eat Junk Food, at least not in excess.

Should be a no-brainer, I bet most of you know this, but Ive done it to a point that I was in the Hospital for 2 and a Half Days. It sucked, it was painful, scared me straight.

I guess its true...you have to face the Consequences and have a Near-Death experience to finally Learn.

Take Care of Yourself.

....uploading.
Thank You and Enjoy.

Until my next Upload Batch

Love 'Yall
Stay Safw

This is silly and stupid, but I miss just being that. Life should be Fun and Random
(Stupid life and political stresses)

How much do you like your Characters / Sonas?
Are they just pixels on the screen and nothing more, or do you have some feelings towards them?
Im not judgemental (within reason) obviously we create these creatures with SOME Drive, either mental and/or Physical, or otherwise.
Do you have a Characters you just love to bits andmoredontbeshyletyourinnerdemonsplayout

And I mean YOUR characters. Not a popular pre-established character from media or a popular Figure
okfineiwilladmitiusedtobeazigzagsimplikeforreal

Post below....WITH LINKS
Help me stay fat and lazy and not search your galleries myself

NOTE:: I love how yall dont post links

I'll admit this is very premature, but I hate feeling isolated and anti social.
I like randomass convos with people.

Anybody got combat focused and badass type characters?
Blades, Magic, Guns or Martal Arts.
Post em, id love to see em! And maybe muse some ideas of combat commissions in the future.

This isn't new, but Im seeing an uptick in people getting scammed by Imposters.
(Following over 10k people W00)

Not like I never got scammed, Im just paranoid now and follow a process so it NEVER happens again. (To the best of my ability) so from my own experience, and from somebody who is paranoid and tries to be uber professional when I commission........some advice.

If you win an auction or comment for a Commission: Custom, YCh/Prepose, and even adopts.
Talk to the artist first about communication. If they are gonna talk to you on Twitter/X, bluesky, Discord, telegram, etc..... ask them to DIRECTLY link you to their page 1st.
Unless you have previously worked with them before, or if you can be 100% sure the person messaging you is the actual artist.

Double-check, look at the people messaging you. To be safe, message the artist on FA (or whatever) 1st to make sure its actually them messaging you. Set up a keyword / safeword if you have to. Its good to be paranoid and safe. Scammers depend on you being ignorant and trusting, and hope you never double-check.

Be Paranoid, be Safe.
Double-check everything, be ULTRA safe, and talk about communication 1st, if they'd rather do things on another site then set up a way to verify its that person.

Dont lose your money, your trust in people, or your passion for things you love because you got hasty and to excited to verify you are talking to the right person.
Make TRIPLE SURE you arnt sending your money to a fraud.

Be Safe
And Happy Easter
