nesil and I are married, and have have settled into our townhouse! I'm trying to ramp up my general involvement and work, so i hope i'll be adding smiles and such ;) to ppl's day.

Artwork reposting: it's fine by me. anything off my old cds or sites is ok to repost.

Artwork modding: i have no prob w artists working off my stuff, poses, coloring bws, etc.

Commissions: I have started taking the occasional commission! I'll post via image/journal submissions when I'm taking :)

Background: I grew up on the comics of the '90s. The splashy, bold colors and linework really influenced my overall style. Colors thick enough to stand a spoon in?--yes plz! Currently, I work in a mix of physical media and digital retouching. For the physical pieces, I use a wash of markers and watercolors, and then layer color pencils, some paint, and inks for details. Afterwards i scan it in, and use Clip Studio Paint for line reapplication and color work.

I really got into the fandom ~1995, as online access became more widespread and some sites were hosting furry art. My first furcon wasn't much later, and it wasn't but a few cons until i started selling at tables myself. It was fun, gave me something to do, and was a fantastic way to meet a ton of great furs!

In Dec 2009, i was taken out of action from a sudden onset disability. Both my inner-ears broke; i lost the balance function from them, lost the hearing in my left ear, and stuck with a permanent insane tinnitus and headache, and severe pain from any head movement. I lost a number of years in a haze of confusion and pain, with trips to i forget how many experts, scans, and tests. Finally, with lots of help from family and friends, was able to find someone that could help. Now after several years of prescription med tweaking and physical therapy, i'm back in the fandom. :)

In late Nov 2020, i suffered another bout of hearing loss in my right ear, affecting several registers of my upper hearing. With the help of furries donating, commissioning, and sometimes tipping on those commissions (which feels <3 ) , I was able to afford hearing aids! These helped me hear from my deaf left side, transferring sound to my right ear, and also helping me hear what I lost.

Now, on Dec 2021, i suffered /another/ bout of hearing loss in my right ear, this time much worse, affecting my hearing across the the board. This time i was able to get to a doctor in time to see what was causing it, and it seemed it was fluid build up in the ear canal without being able to drain. The pressure was killing the hairs inside the cochlea used to hear. I'll have to see what i can to do prevent this in the future, because looking at the graph, i can only do this maybe four more times before i'm completely deaf.
