Hello Everyone, Tanner here. I'm going to be making a pretty damn long journal here so please bare with me.

FWA

I had spent that last several days away from my hustle and bustle of work life to go on a much MUCH needed vacation.
This vacation may have changed my life permanently for the better, I had struggled hard with feelings of identity, who I was and who I am.
What my place in this crazy world is.
During this week, I had gotten called my name, the name I had made for myself so long ago that I never thought it would stick with me.
FWA was such a lovely experience, I stayed in a small bubble of people and didn't really spread out too far, competing somewhat in a smash tourney and a tekken tourney.
But that was enough, enough for me to realize that this is a community, that, with every little fur there is a real breathing entity behind it.
I have realized this, you don't really feel love from something until it gets a hold of you.
Til it holds you close and tells you your name, how it is happy to see you and see you well.

THE FUTURE

I had a revelation during the con, that, I needed to see myself made more real.
as of this journal I will be re-doing my commission prices and will be making a more transparent way of viewing and seeing my queue.
What do I mean by re-doing me prices?
Simply put, my old price layout was back when I was worried about doing commissions, that, I wouldn't make anyone happy with my art.
But that's changing, I'm reducing my prices.
I'll have a more formal change to them in the coming days but for now, just know that 70 is going to be the new 90.

And with those changes comes what I said be being more real. I am going to be doing more auctions, more in-general here and on twitter.
You don't get to meet people without talking to them, without engaging, without showing things people wanna see and I wanna be that.
I used to just make jokes that I'm the "I'll draw your ass fatter than you can imagine." and that swiftly turned into full on anatomy studies.
I do goofy work now, I do toony work now, I feel comfortable even breaking my only drawing large norms.

I want to pursuit making Tanner real, I want to get a full partial of him, and than if I feel that a full partial is where I am happy with ,than pursuit the full thing.
I want to make this real with help, and I don't like getting things for free so, from this day forward if you put ANY amount of money into my Ko-fi message me directly.
depending on the amount sent I'll draw whatever you want for the equal price.
You send ten dollars? You get a cute doodle.
you send a thousand? I'll be your artist fox for the whole damn month.

AND MORE?

FWA has set my mind ablaze with the creative passion, the fire of want the fire of need and the fire of creation.
I have never felt this way before in my life, in all my 29 years of living I have never wanted something so badly before.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me this far, thank you to all that have helped me.
And thank you to those who are no longer here.
I hope I can make you proud.
