So the "honeymoon" of the New Year is starting to wind down, and we'll go have a few things to do that can be serious for me and you- so I do have things being done in arts, and also things to do for pictures relating to the con I just attended-yes, pictures. So read on if you like...

~Arts~

I may plan on having to budget on having arts from here on as I still have no replacement job after being laid off last September, but I do have the easy backup one.

What I can say here is that I may not have more than 12 per year, but I can say that the extreme maximum will be 20 for my account this year. I will go for the simplest arts the drawers will do on a canvas. I will post a mature art here and there, but I will debut Sairy Oleanne Rosenboom the fox this year, and it will be a ref sheet first before individual arts of her will debut. It won't be right away as I have not made the final description of her yet, but I'm getting there.
In the meantime, I do have ideas for a few arts that I have an idea on, and as mutual followers have the first priority before others, I think I have assigned some that would be perfect for the upcoming arts that I'd like to see for my fursonas. If you do see your FA name here, do get ready for me to talk to you:

Mutuals:
 Zelaum-Hunter/ NSlukieH -full body color, 3 characters (FANART)
 Iceshadow13 -full body sketch (can be kinky/mature-provided that sketches are still open: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10757828/ Ashley is the character)
 Garphan95/ ShadowStar95 - full body sketch of Alfred Wizard

Other artists that have done an art, not mutual:
 Pew246
 duskhusky64

New artists with interest (in terms of priority):
 Siberio
 ZoulEtSentiment

So for these three not assigned, it would be Cory wolf, but of course, these are subject to change with how the mutuals are open for commissions, and I will see what they will say. A wildcard here is an artist's fursona included in a SFW art, and I will pick who it is provided that they allow me permission to use.

For me, I will try my hand at it now that I have a schedule for being free at home on Fridays and Saturdays with less craziness, and I will go do on my spare time my own and see if I can improve on arts. I have to start on kiriban gift arts-I still have to do aliendog  Lu123! Hope to clear that list soon...

~Fursuit Pictures, and mine (Cory)~

Yes, it will be that time again when I will upload those pics-I have 2024 of  FurCon to do, but if you have recognized, 2023, I have stopped because of life! So if it is that I should go and do in terms of accounting, Last In, First Out (LIFO), FC 2024 will be done first, then 2023 will be done next, however, I can slip in '23 at times- be ready for little skips here and there.

Well for me, in trying to get Cory, I still have  KamenHamster ( https://www.kamenhamster.com/ ) as interest as my replacement for Cory's fursuit head, and I will allocate the funds to do so, and I guess in perhaps April after taxes are done, I will commission the constructor to do him. I will still keep the sleeves and leggings along with the hand and foot paws from  RumWolf ( https://www.rumwolf.net/ ). HOWEVER, as I was working as constore representative at FurCon and the perk here is that I could venture into the Dealer's Den for things, I did see that 10 fursuit constructors were there gaining my interest. So I can look carefully to see if others can take my interest from Kamen in having me have a replacement Cory head. There is more though, if it is that in their gallery the fursuits are to my liking, it can be soon that Alfred red panda or Ashley otter can be made by them!
Here they are that attended FC and are open (now or soon):

Of course, the thing I can say is if there is a first impression and they give a card, that CAN win over my interest, therefore for these ten, if they do have things that would garner my interest like, emotions for my fursuit head, moveable jaw, sleeves for arms AND legs (I call them leggings sometimes.), potential for refurbishment, and more, then I can go for it! So to those that attended FurCon, thanks, I look at what you offer seriously to potentially have Alfred and/or Ashley come to life; let's not rule out Cory being fixed or replaced!

So those are my plans and FF'dom-related resolutions for 2024, and hopefully, I can fulfill them to the fullest, as of now, there's 7³=343* days left in the year when this was posted, and I've got to get to work when life allows me! Wish me luck, and stay tuned!

*: Fun useless fact- in terms of exponentials, it is the cube of seven that is the largest exponent that would hold the maximum possible amount to fit in days in a year with 22 or 23 days left over. In terms of number, it is 361- this when you take 192, and the date is either January 4 or for leap year, January 5.
