Apologies for that, not really been feeling uploading stuff on here for the last year and a bit (I wonder what's happened that might make that the case, lol). I'm way more active on Twitter, though my feed is basically a mix of memes, shitposts, politics, RL stuff and furry smut. You know, as you do haha.

Anyway, I'll be SLOWLY uploading stuff on here that I've commissioned over the last year or so, but it might take a while. Apologies in advance if this ends up spamming anyone's inbox!

Hey all! Realised my last journal was like a year old, so just a quick hi to everyone following (thank you!) and wanted to let you know that I'll be uploading things soon enough, and of course just to remind you all that none of the art I upload is drawn by me!

Flattering of course that some of you think I'm a talented artist, but I'm really not and please stop PMing me asking for my rates haha. (Although all pictures uploaded in my gallery credit the original artist with a link to their page; check them out!)

Thanks for reading, hope you're all doing well, and enjoy the art!

Hey guys, gals and everyone else as well! Had a very pleasant surprise from  DNP101, who out of the blue linked me to a picture they did of my shark gal Vishka. Go check it out!

I'm always taken aback when someone takes the time and effort to create art of my characters, and moreso when it's done as a surprise. Hope you all like it as much as I do!

As they asked very nicely, and it's for a good cause, I'd like to invite you all to go check out this person's journal over here:

I'm sure anything you can do to help them, even if it's just support or journal re-posts, will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey all, been "away" for a bit (in terms of not updating or posting on this site), but that's more to do with laziness than anything else. I'll be uploading some of the newer pictures I've commissioned over the last 4-5 months, but as there's a fair bit to get through I'll be being super-lazy and not including my usual spattering of text to go along with each picture; I'll simply be listing who is in the picture, and who it was drawn by (with the relevant links).

This isn't to say I'm not hugely grateful to the artists, or don't see these pictures as worth my time to write about as I upload them, just that there's a few to get through so uh... Yeah, it'll all be a bit more spartan this time around.

As seeing as lots of other people have been doing this, thought it'd be a good idea to do it myself. After all, chances are I won't really be updating my gallery here as much anymore, as I'm trying to branch out onto other sites.

A great artist I know (I won't presume to use the word friend, but they're a wonderful person) has an adorable kitty who's trouble, and the little girl needs some important surgery done. The price alas isn't cheap, but in order to raise funds they're offering some amazing deals on their artwork, some of which you can find in my gallery!

Please, if you can find the time to check out their page I'd really appreciate it, and hopefully you can snag some of their wonderful art for yourself too! They're offering sketches for as little as $10, chibis for a bargain $20 and have a whole 72(!) page sketchbook up for auction starting at a measly $200. They're also open for regular commissions too!

Thanks for reading.

I probably should've posted this BEFORE flying out here, but I'm currently on holiday in the US (California) staying with friends, and will be attending FC as well next week. Will be a bit quiet with replies, but thanks for the comments/favourites and hope you're all doing well!

Noticed this on  muzz's page and thought it'd be pretty neat to give a go to myself. Plus, it'll replace the previous, outdated journal entry.

Write a comment with an assumption you have about me and I'll let you know if it's true or not! I've always been curious how people see me, especially those I don't talk to often but who have followed me for awhile.

Even if its personal I'll try my best to answer!

A good friend of mine  smokescale is looking for a hand and I'd appreciate it if anyone can lend him one. Check out his journal over here:

So I know it's a new MMO and there's probably not a whole lot of you playing it right now, but I'm thinking of starting up a (mainly trading, but also social) guild in ESO of my own and wanted to see if there was anyone else about who played? If you're on the EU server feel free to add me; I believe my username is "@talashgreydrag" (the "dragon" part of that is outdated, true, but what can I say? Names tend to stick around!).

Also, if you play Diablo 3 on the EU -or- NA servers (mainly on the EU, just starting off again on the NA one) you can find me there under Talash#1447.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not a very "chatty" gamer, but it'd be nice to see who else plays and perhaps meet some new people to play alongside.

Sorry guys and gals, I've been putting off uploading stuff for so long that there's quite the backlog... Although I won't lie, at least it's blowing the cobwebs off! The last journal here was wishing you all a Merry Christmas after all... >..>

Wishing you all the very best, and I hope y'all have a great few days and a fantastic New Year!

Take care, stay safe and don't do anything I wouldn't do!*

*This is obviously a fairly limited restriction.

Hey guys, just noticed I'm getting close to an arbitrarily large number of pageviews that just so happens to end with more than one zero, so it's time for a kiriban announcement!

If you PM me a screenshot of the number I'll reward you with a note back that will personally thank you, and I'll even try my best to spell you crazy username correctly.

Honestly, you simply can't afford to miss out on a deal as amazing as this. I'm too kind, I know.

Honestly, you simply can't afford to miss out on a deal as amazing as this. I'm too kind, I know.

So, against my better judgement (and to nudge down a journal entry well out of date) I've decided to ask y'all a few questions that might help me out.

1.) What do you like seeing, and what would you like to see more of in my gallery?

2.) What (if anything ;_;) do you dislike seeing, and why?

3.) Are there any artists you'd recommend my way? I keep finding new, talented artists all the time, and more suggestions can't hurt!

Also, feel free to ask anything you'd like to here and I'll do my best to reply honestly. Thanks!

If it's you, then you'll hate this...  SpaceCadet ( Meesh's girlfriend) is offering up to three lucky people the chance to get some free art from them!

Go check it out here:

These guys?

No? Well you ought to be. >:C Some awesome stuff in their gallery already, not that I'm biased or anything~

First of all, here's a DISCLAIMER: Without wanting to be horrible, this won't apply to you unless I know you at least in passing. Having fave'd a picture of yours or commented on your artwork doesn't count, we'd have to have actually talked at some point! I'll be honest, you'll know if I consider you a friend enough to be in a commission with me.

So here's the deal; I've already got a few names thanks to Twitter, but if we're friends feel free to send me a DM or reply here and I'll put your name on a list of "people to eventually appear in a commission with Tal". All I need is for you to declare your interest, and to state if you'd be interested in non-adult commissions or adult ones (not both, to give each group equal billing) and if adult how kinky do you want to go: Vanilla, kinky (vore, BDSM, etc) or extreme (alternative vore, sounding, etc).

I won't expect people to pay for appearing alongside Tal in the picture, but if you'd offer to pay for anywhere up to a quarter of the cost (25%) I'd be more than grateful.

All commission ideas will be discussed with the chosen person/people beforehand, giving plenty of time to pull out and for me to offer the place to someone else, and people will be chosen once and then removed from the list; the idea is to eventually get everyone who's interested drawn, and the perhaps start all over again sometime! I will be choosing people based on their interests (from what I know and what info you give me) and their character.

So yeah... Seems fair? I hope so, haha.

Comment below or PM me if you're interested, AND BEAR IN MIND THE DISCLAIMER AT THE TOP OF THIS POST.

So I have a problem that I'm sure a lot of you guys and gals have as well: I've had a few friends say to me "We should totally get a commission together sometime", and I wholeheartedly agree with them. The problem? Time, money and (I'll be honest) my awful memory.

So here's a little idea I have that I'd like your feedback on...

Basically, the idea would be to take down the names of everyone who'd be interested in getting something alongside Tal/Sharklash, and then each time I get a commission that requires a second/third/etc character I use RNG to select someone from the list. When they're selected I'd message them to give them the option of withdrawing, otherwise they'll be in the picture and their name would be taken off the list. This would mean everyone'd get a fair chance, and hopefully, eventually, I'd get through everyone on the list.

Now, one problem is I only really want to let people I -know- onto the list, so I won't be opening it to everyone, and if they have multiple characters they'll only be added the once. The other problem is... Kinky stuff. This is something that ties in with the first problem thankfully, as if I know you well enough to add you to the list, I'll know what you'll be into well enough to keep you out of commissions you'd not be into!

So yeah... Good idea? Bad idea? Any better ones?

Basically I want to actually start getting these pictures done with other people, but don't want to play favourites or make people feel left out. :x

HALP.

You have been warned.

I'm so sorry. ;_;

Or whatever the site's name is supposed to be an amalgamation of, just letting you all know I'm over on there too:

https://www.weasyl.com/profile/talash

Probably won't be using it too much, but it's always a good idea to have a) a backup and b) your name reserved. Will probably upload a few pieces to my gallery over there, but for the time being I'll still be far more active here!

AND get some awesome art?

Well look no futher than:

GIT MOVIN'.

I did a journal like this a year or so ago, but basically I'd like to hear from people who watch my account exactly what it is you like in my gallery, and what you'd like to see in the future.

Bear in mind I'm not asking for "oh you get too much of this", because even with all the best will in the world I'll probably end up taking critique like that badly (hey, I like what I like~) but I'd definitely be up for hearing what you want to see MORE of.

And hey, is there anything I've not had drawn yet that you'd like to see? Any scenarios or kinks you'd like to see Tal (any gender) or Sharklash in?

PS: Just to let you know there are some fetishes you'll never see my character involved with. If it involves bodily waste or underaged characters you can be sure it's a definite "no".

Yeah, you. You want some awesome full colour artwork? Course you do, so let's not waste any more time.

Go check this out and grab yourself some awesome artwork in  arupaka's auction.

You still here? GEDOUTTAHERE.
