Policy Changes~
2 years ago
Hello everyone! As I'm certain most of you may be aware already, FurAffinity has once again upset a lot of people with a poorly worded and vague policy update, in which they expressed their desire to place additional scrutiny on NSFW content surrounding a couple franchises that are likely responsible for turning many of us into furries to begin with, namely Pokémon & Digimon. As it happens, I've discovered that I may have in fact drawn a little bit of Pokémon throughout my commissions and personal projects, so I thought this might be worth paying attention to.
Now, as far as I understand, these restrictions apply only to NSFW artwork of Pokémon and Digimon with "childlike proportions" or are depicted in context as children in sexual content, etc. etc. After some backlash to the original statement, some very helpful clarification was added to place great emphasis that this only applies to to Pokémon/Digimon if they proportionally/anatomically represent a child. What exact proportions/anatomy represents children I'm sure I do not know; I was fairly certain before I wasn't drawing any to begin with. But as we have witnessed in cases of artists and styles, one person's Cute is another person's Cub. So to be safe, I am announcing a few changes to my commissions in order to fully comply with FurAffinity's updated policy as best I can:
*As we all know, the more cute a character is, the more liable it is to be called a cub. Therefore, I will catering exclusively to gritty realism. This means no more big round eyes or plump paws. They will instead be replaced with realistic human fingers and toes. Y'all are gonna be really reeling from this realistic realism.
*Emotional & facial expressions are now limited to angry scowls only. Smiles and happiness are a mark of youthful innocence, and must be phased out.
*All poses for each character must include one hand outstreched toward the viewer holding a state-issued ID or drivers license that prominently displays their date of birth.
*All characters must now be drawn anthro & bipedal, no more feral characters. Male anthros must be a minimum of 5'9 in height, while females must be a minimum of 5'4 in accordance with current CDC adult-height metrics.
*And finally, in addition to height requirements. I myself will be preparing to slowly fade out of this existance, since I do not meet the aforementioned height requirements in real life. Wait times to receive your completed commission may increase as a result.
Thank you all for your understanding! I'd love to hear your feedback if you'd like to leave your comments, insights, suggestions, and/or jokes below~
If I cannot meet these new standards and find myself suddenly vanished, or if you are unwilling to adhere to the new guidelines. You can feel free to follow me on my Telegram channel, a future Discord server once I figure out a name, and this POS social media platform.

Seriously though, I hope you can figure out something out!
Fortunately for me, I don't rely on art to make a living, so the worst FA can possibly do is inconvenience fans and myself while trying to find the next space.
(Yes, you can post your commission. This whole journal is being facetious to commentate on the FA announcement today. uwu)
here.
Made me giggle
in all seriousness though I hope you'll be alright. discord isn't a great archive but since I can't be assed with telegram I'd sooner take it, so name yours already lmao
Just go to the Support and Report a Problem and open a ticket under “NSFW Underage Content” to see if this is in violation.
Just for my suggestion.
I mean you should be doing things you love to do and have fun with and find fun doing, not the polar opposite where its less enjoyable
Without that "magic" you loose interest because whats the point of doing a project if its not fun to do. It hurts you more when you find what you love to do just doesn't become fun anymore
But. I do hate, ech, cub art, with a burning passion... I do still like NSFW work of adult characters (when it's marked as such)
So this situation, honestly has me feeling conflict
