Hello! >(^-^)
Is it too late for me to welcome you to the website? ^0^

Not at all c:
I still consider myself new here lol.

Then I shall welcome you and be among your first fans. >( o.o)
How new are you still? Have you gotten the hang of all the controls and features yet? ^-^

Haha, well that is very kind of you ^^ Im a lot more atuned and used to being on DA so i dont intend to be on here a 100% often as i am there but i will try to post as much as i can c:

So far ive got some of the basic gists down, especially the coding since here uses the same coding format as FR did so i can spoofy my page a little bit better then on DA but note quite. Uploading stuff ive gotten down pat though checking mail and faving things are a little...well different then im used to.

Yes, I thought it was a little clunky at first too. :>
But I certainly do hope you post at least a little, as this site could really use more dark art so to speak. ^-^
Just to make sure you know, this website doesn't seem as strict as some others with the furry content theme. So always feel free to upload even non furry pictures too.

Im happy to provide what is missing c:

Ah yeah ive noticed, its nice not having to go through the extra hassel of censoring and cropping things or making sure something isnt too graphic or what ever, DA isnt as easy with such things and i prefer my stuff raw and now so confided so im happy to see im able to let loose here at least.

^0^
This really is an easy place to be yourself and you can upload virtually anything. The culture here is pretty sex charged but it's nothing difficult to ignore if it's not your thing, or at least in large doses. :p
But I encountered an error when I tried to load your deviant art to see what was up there. >( o.o) ?

No idea what caused that, maybe try this way?: http://dysfunctional-horror.deviant.....m/?rnrd=172068

As for the sex stuff im fine with it, just some of the fetishes that normal make me...well uncomfortable but i turn a blind eye to them o3o Im likely to post some of my own NSFW but nothing furr-ish as im not a furry but i do have a sort of animal-sona sometimes i draw. Personally dont consider it a fursona but i guess its okay to call it that since its just the animal version of my persona.

Ah. Thank you! I'll have a look right now. ^-^
You've got some very cute stuff up there. Props! I see the gifs are particularly creative! >( >♡.♡)
There are plenty of great non furry artists here. ^-^ I can recommend a few if you like. I tend to count neko as human in spite of the ears and tails though. I look forward to seeing more from you in the future!

Gotta warn you, my gallery is sort've a mess lol. Though the folder titled "My creations" is pretty much what others would call an "Oc/Character/Fancharacter" folder, its where i place my characters which i have many of and do plan to post a few here though there's a lot there already.

Its alright, i like exploring c: Thus far its lead to a few neat discoveries, even finding some artists i watch on DA here haha.

My advice is to create those folders and folder groups here on fur affinity before you reach a point of regret and it becomes a days chore to organize it all. ^0^
Understood. ^-^ I tend to stalk my watchers favorites while I'm at stalking their galleries so I know it's the easiest to find humans from humans. ^p^ I myself am a fan of hoomans.

So far ive been good with it, its only bad on DA cause i was young when i made that and not very good with organization. Plus i have like thosand+ arts there lol.

Haha, good method though my favorites are certain ranged from humans to monsters to animals and gore plus more~

Gore fans are so rare these days...! >( 0.0) Welcome, my sister in guro... >( o.o)
So you've been drawing for quite some time! How quickly so you produce works of art? ^-^

They are? Im surprise, i know of many on DA, least most my close friends looooove gore.

Hm, depends really. I, as of late, have been having my on and off bursts. Sometimes ill pump out a few peices in a few days and sometimes ill have a dry period where i'll post maybe a doodle page or rough sketch and nothing more for a while.

Recently i had a very high season on that but its sortve died down these past few days.

That's alright. Just make sure you go at your own pace, especially if you draw only as a hobby and not for business. (Of course you already know that and don't need me to tell you. >(0.0)! But I will anyway. ^-^)
I will say you might be surprised at how much money people can make for a simple doodle too. ^o^

I try to but i get all i guess "panicked" if i take too long from the countless times ive seen other artists get treated like dooks for not being a "machine" for some one.

Ive been contemplating doing more money commissions but on DA thats almost impossible to ask of, most of my watchers cant afford it or are too young for such things or they rather not, not sure on the "rather not part" since only 6% of my watchers on DA are active and i have like 500 or so. Kinda sad but oh well, what you gonna do o3o

Course DA has site currency so that too is why they dont go well, many people prefer it over money and its okay but site currency cant do anything for you outside of it.

Site currency? 0.0 That sounds both good and bad as far as ideas go I guess. ^-^ I can see why, but I also... Can't. ^0^ It's like one of those throw-back audio shows where they play music and talk shows from the 1920's. It's hard to tell if it's brilliant or just crazy. >( o.o) I think the number only matters if you have over a thousand if you're not on comfortable speaking terms with them. I've found that even some of the most talented artists will only receive meaningful comments from those they like enough to reply to every now and then. I think people are shy. ^-^ I am, actually. I have to break the ice like how we've done here now before I feel like I can comment with sincere admiration. Otherwise I never know what's too excessive to say. >.>

The site currency proves to have zero profits really, unless you have some one giving you a lot and even then it has to be sent a certain way in order to be trasnfer into real money and even even after that you have to wait 14 days for it to clear which is such horse shit, pardon my french toast x3x

I think the only reason i have that many is from either brief encounters going well so they watched me, some seeking something from me, a few probably only adding me to make their "friends" list a heafty trophy to show off and then the reast who genuinely enjoy what i do and some of them do speak to me, not frequent but i always reply like 99.1% of the time. No matter what.

But i get how you feel, i tend to keep to myself and only really talk when i have something to say or have a comment in mind, otherwise its almost like im just a shadow on the wall \o3o/

It seems so convenient only for those who don't have money on hand. It means they can-wait... They can still trade art for money the exact some way with paypal. }( -..-) So it actually just seems downright pointless...! For some those numbers really matter I guess. It can put a small dock in their social life sometimes though. ^p^ Some people like me are quick to assume that users with a gigantic abundance of friends on their list just won't have the time to talk to us, so I find myself refraining from trying to initiate anything with those. Then for some I found out that they had no activity and were lonely. That depressed me a lot. >( .__.)

Eh, more so kids too as they probably dont have jobs or dont want to bother their parents. It is, even then paypal has a lot faster a clearance time period then DA. Which i mean, if i charge the price of points it would take to, for example, say make 5$ (Which is 500 points in DA's site currency) i'd have to wait 14 days for that to clear so i can convert the points to money to be withdrawn to my paypal. But if they just only threw the 5$ at my paypal instead i'd have the money quicker and not have to sit around waiting as Paypal clears almost immediately after the money is sent.

I tend to think the same way sometimes but in the end on most people i was afraid to talk to it always went well, in fact a few of them now see me as a friend c: Which im thankful for since most Artists with a lot of fans and watchers sometimes get an ego. x-x;;

I haven't seen any in particular myself, but I've heard some ego horror stories before. ^-^ It's always a big popularity contest with some. >( o.o) *shrugs*
I need to make a paypal myself in the coming days so I too can start purchasing some art. ^-^ Hunting the wild bargain will probably be either the toughest or the funnest part of that. ^0^

Pfhftt, its sad thats how it is but oh well. o3o
I know i'll never get an ego. No matter how much "fame" i seem to get i know where my heart lies in the matter.

Not sure really, ive only ever purchased art maybe twice and that was rare of me to do since im poor asf and i had to use some of the money i made helping some one move. Im considering opening money commissions at some point but i think the highest price ill probably charge people is 5$. I dont really think highly of myself to be honest o3o;

I'm certain you could try for more. The $5 price will tempt people, yes. But you could add various types of commissions to try and get more that sum for those who are willing to pay more. ^-^ Adding on the ability to add extra characters/content to the picture for more, for instance. Some artists charge for revisions over a certain number too but I think it might be frowned upon by some. I've never done or bought a commission so I'm not too sure. ^o^

Hmm, will have to think on it more.

I know some people charge per character and stuff but im not a 100% confident in some things, mainly full bodies or more characters or certain actions.

Also backgrounds sometimes add to the price. Even if you clarify that you won't draw them clients will still ask for them. >( ^0^) I see that rant/argument go down a lot. But it is true that a background will usually add a considerable amount of value to the picture.

Ehh, personally i dont like doing backgrounds, my limited experience with them makes me hate doing them.

Now simple just design and/or colored backgrounds i have no problem with but im not one to charge for every little fart done on the picture, typically im a one price kind of gal and i dont like making people feel like they have to throw in a bunch of fees for this and that. Makes me feel like im intimidating.

Ah. ^-^ I see what you are saying completely. When I imagine if I were the type to do commissions I suddenly do feel like it would be difficult to ask for fees... I have no social skills though. >( ;=;) Your prices look very fair and I think if you advertise it around a little you can get a lot of customers. If business is slow YCHs and raffles are a good way to draw attention to your page. ^-^ If you're ever willing to draw a free picture I strongly recommend trying a raffle.

I always reserve free are of my own choice, In other words i only make gift art when i want to for some one, i only ever draw for close friends for free and i only open free stuff when i feel up for it and even then its normally the basice sketch with flat color.

Ive tried a YCH before, didnt go well, had to give refunds because of it. Course i did it wrong that time and it was my first YCH after all.

Never done a raffle before though i wouldnt be good for it.

Right now im just trying to at least sell that adopt i have posted but so far nothing is working x3x im really not used to submissions here in that sense. Over on DA im able to post my art in groups so many people can continously see it but here its either freshly post over again , post reminders with links or hope some one gets curious enough to check your page out and see it x3x

Yes. It is hard to make something noticed in a timely manner. A friend of mine told me it's easy to sell commissions here but not enough to rely on them or predict a steady flow of sales. Not off the beginning. Being active qnd posting lots of comments between art is all you can really do besides reminders. o.o
My last piece of advice is to make sure that you have a ref sheet. ^-^ I need to make one myself and would be happy to make one for you if you would like. Without a ref sheet it's hard to buy commissions and some will turn you away from trades and raffles. u.u

It says on your profile that you stream so I'd like to follow you and watch you some time if you're in the mood to stream later on for the public. ^-^ (I stalk all guro artists I can find. but right now they rarely stream if ever...)

As of right now im not confident enough to try money commissions here though im considering doing a quick and simple 5$ YCH but im still thinking over for what exactly o3o

The only thing im really trying to do though money wise that i can do is Auctions of Adoptables, which i have that reaper pup posted and so far no dice with it :/ Here or on DA.

Ref sheet? Im not sure really, im terrible at pricing and i dont have nearly enough examples to be used. My style is always changing, things become outdated quicker then i can upload updated versions.

Unfortunately i am also like the others, its not often i stream and even more so not often that when i do stream its gore. I owe so many people so many things right now that i havent been able to set aside my own art time. I get so stressed so easily that i have a hard time doing my own art because of it.

Even if you don't specify anywhere that you do them you will likely be approached if someone is interested. ^-^ I have a friend who does commissions here if I didn't mention that before and he has been helping me prepare for the possibility of doing some myself which is why I know so much about this. ^-^
Noo, I wasn't asking to charge for it. ^0^ I'm trying to practice with my talents by taking on requests and helping people. I like to do gift art very much. It's just a me thing and I don't expect a trade or payment. >( ^-^)
But you shouldn't become stressed and wear yourself thin. Artists here are expected to take their time and if you're not relaxed and enjoying your hobby then the art won't come out looking as good.

I have it all set to ask on my page though im still iffy on anything right now.
I do need cash perferably lately, like really badly but i owe too much to be able to stress over more right now x3x Reason ive been trying to use Redbubble and such to help earn money.

Nah i dont mean charge i mean by i personally dont price well and i dont have any real decent sort of commission previews ^^; Im not really ready for a commission ref sheet.

Though i always do want to be nice and give something back ;v; sometimes i feel like i dont deserve what i get and i feel like i owe that person in return.

True though i cant help but be stressed, i dont like making people wait ;;v;;
And ive made quiet a few people nearly wait a year for some things that i still havent finished yet.

No, not a commission ref sheet. ^0^ A character ref sheet. It means I would draw a character of your choice from the front and back to show what they look like so that other artists who draw them have a reference to their appearance. >( ^-^) When a person offers you something it means they want to do it. :P To feel like you owe them something is natural yes, but for me, you don't owe me anything. Agreed? ^0^

Nearly a year...? o.o That is a long time but what kinds of projects are those and how much was paid? ^-^

oooooh.
Yeah i probably wouldnt be good for me since i dont have nearly enough images worth using to help build a ref sheet. But if i could i'd probably ask for one of my Animal sona or as people here refer to them as "Fursonas" though mines not really that, just an animal version of my persona i made a long time ago and loved too much to let go to waste.

Actually i think none of the nearly year old ones are um...paid.
Some are AT's i havent finished, ones a set of custom adopts i owe and a few others are general art stuff.

>( ^-^) I will be happy to! All I need are all the details about the character written down including the head, torso, arms, hands, legs, tail(if any), and feet described. Would you like a human and animal version?
Do you have a very busy life? :P

I could do you one better and doodle the character o3o
The one in question is actually what currently my ID here is. The goat i mean but her design isnt really offically made yet and the picture was made by a friend who didnt really have a lot of ref things to work with, most being out of date ;v;

Actually? I have the opposite of a busy life.
But my motivation, My stress, my own problems is what make things getting done hard on me.
I beat myself up all the time, not intentionally mind you. Thoughts become burned in my mind and i start to down myself which makes me loose motivation.

Its funny how after so long of being the victim for others amusement you start to learn to hurt yourself worse then they have and it really takes its tole on my mental being.

Just like my current living situation just adds to it along with the fact i rarely leave my house out of fear.
But more so a fear of discomfort and people. I feel unsafe outside my space yet i cannot stand being in it. Odd huh? Reason why im trying to move so quickly. I have a friend willing to help me out and come pick me up to go live in their state far from mine and get better but in order to do so one needs money and so far im on the shit list when it comes to that x3x

I desperately need this escape but its out of my reach and it makes me hurt knowing that.

Ah thank you! That's much easier. I look forward to the doodle! >( >^-^)<
High stress is no good. This has been going on for almost a year too? Thinking negatively about yourself will worsen both the progress you make and your whole life all together. I understand that emotional abuse from others does in fact change the way you see yourself however. It is funny how it happens, but if my advice means anything, rely on your intellect to overcome the primal urges your brain ticks on. Apes used intimidation and force to assert themselves over lesser ranking apes and inforce the role of humility on those below them in rank. And while I greatly respect animals, we are at a higher level of understanding than them and have to rely on our ability to pan out and see the bigger picture.

If anyone bullied you either physically or just emotionally, it's because they have a primitive way of thinking and behaving. >(o.o) I could ramble about it more but I'm sure you understand what I'm saying so I'll stop myself. ^-^

I too have trouble leaving my home unfortunately... I have to to go to school and run errands, but I never get used to the feeling that I'm in someone else's territory when I do. We're the same in that department. ^-^ A fresh start is good for you and I hope you can make the move. Is your neighborhood hostile or simply uncomfortable from past experience?

Crap sorry ;;v;;
I havent been on here in a while ;u;

I also have a tendancy of being intimidated by huge comments cause i always worry about not responding to everything in them so imma try as best as i can.

But yeah i totally get what your saying ;;v;; too many people stay in their high school mentality or well, the bad side of socity dictates them to thing their idea of normal is okay and everything else needs to be mocked and rid of. Lot of kids at school didnt like me and i wish i didnt let them win. I ended up becoming a reclues years ago, still am in a way. I hardly leave my house, not so much just from them a several other factors in my life lead to this but ill be fortunate once im free from it.

because of the whole move thing. I have so many plans and ideas, i want to be better and not feel afraid like i have to stay inside. I want to be able to have some sort of life, sometimes feel like i wasted mine even though im only 19 and ive far from wasted it but i think its just my child hood i feel like i wasted ;3;

sometimes anyways.

I left school unfortunately, well, more so not by choice. Its a long sortve story to be honest, confusing at that but i guess for now my schooling life is on hold until i figure out the rest. I mean whats more important, getting a job and a living situation set up or being homeless but going to school still? Yanno?

My neighborhood is quiet..well apart from the fact i live on a main road and cars drive by constantly and that noise drives me up the wall. I hate listening to cars, city life is really not my cup of tea and im not even in a city but still...its not very quiet in that aspect. Otherwise just a lot of quiet old folks that dont do much anymore.

I live with my family which...my relationships with them arent...good. Most of the time i just feel like i live with strangers that take most my money, dont have an option on the money i do have coming in. Always left with just 200 for food for the month but well the food never lasts for a month as food is expensive here and i end up half starved for the rest of the month until the vicious cycle repeats since once i get paid the first of the month im normally so hungry i just eat out.

Reason im trying to hard to earn money but i feel its a fruitless task at this point :/

^0^ I'm sorry for writing such gargantuan comments all the time. >///< But you don't need to feel pressured to write replies of equal length. Communication shouldn't work like that. ^0^ Only type when it isn't a chore to.
You are young and the best video games and films have yet to come out. That alone is enough to make me look forward in all honesty. But I don't pay attention to much else in the world though. .__.
It sounds like you've had a really rough life, having to leave school for an income source. But it isn't too late to turn back if you can at all. I hope you are at least working towards a ged.
I agree that the sounds of nature sure beat the sounds of horns and car alarms. @-@
Oh... o.o That's awful. Is there any emergency food you can buy early to avoid those situations at the end of the month? I know no one likes instant ramen... >///< But it's very affordable. Just don't eat too much or the sodium will give you diarrhea and nightmares....

Its fine i just feel bad when i make my comments too short ;v;

Haha, to me there's hardly any modern movies that ever take my fancy, i prefer the old way in things and all these new movies bore the hell out of me or just look the same no matter what. Its like a constant feed of Speed, loudness, half naked chicks, explosions, some one beating up a bunch of people in a short amount of time, relying on predictable jump scares to "make a horror movie", honestly i could go on but i just, modern movies are shit to me. Too techy too. Something im always saying is modern man relies too much on technology, its nice and all but not always nessiscary in life and one day its going to hit them and bite them in the ass, mark my words.

As for gaming, i can never afford the ones i want to play or at the very least am able to as i only have one laptop and its wayy too full and not nearly as updated as it needs to be to run some games. Like i bought GTA5 on steam when it was on sale but i cant play it because i have very little memory space and my computer isnt beefy enough to handle it. I wanted to save up for a gaming desktop but uh...given my money situation thats not going to be any time soon.

Just like i may need to buy a new tablet for art since mines getting up there and ready to die.

im still unsure with the whole school thing. I mean in a way i dont really need it since the skills it provides isnt much help with a desire for an art career, yanno? Science isnt going to help me paint a picture lol.

Sadly no, once i spend that left over 200 there's nothing i can do. I cant do anything really. My housing situation isnt uh...optimal for cooking, its rather...disgusting here and i hardly like leaving my room just to cook microwave bacon let alone attempt to actually make a real meal ;;v;;

As much as i wouldnt mind just buying ramen i'd probably get high blood preasure, especially how i prepare it xD

I don't watch many movies myself. I usually just watch anime. o.o What older movies are your favorites? ^-^ The newer horror movies really are nothing but recycled plots and topless teenagers any more. ^0^ I abandoned the horror genre fandom long ago when I realized no new horror film would compare to the classics or creepypasta. o.o
I like to play really old games for the sega genesis and snes. ^-^ No matter what, any computer can play them.
It's true but if you can make it to college you can take very nice courses for art too. Don't forget. ^-^
I love to cook and live for it. ^0^ It's one of my favorite things but it does get a little more expensive than I can afford when I try for certain recipes that require unusual ingredients. >.< Pasta and rice are cheap and go far. I also keep a little garden for things like peppers, strawberries and tomatoes. ^-^ We have an apple tree but I can never get to a single apple before the bugs do. >{T T}
It's a good way to save money on produce but it requires a lot of care and space to plant on.
How do you prepare instant ramen? ^0^

Oh you know, The Omen, The Exorcist, Frakenstien, Childs Play, those sorts. Im not a 100% into many black and white horror's but i also dont really like anything past 2001 unless something brought me to watching some of them and i ended up liking them. I watched a little bit of Drag me to hell and i can honestly say i didnt feel bad for the main character, she deserved it. I also finally watched Cabin in the woods too and i liked it but towards the end after all hell broke loose and things started escaping it became messy to me and that ending was shit in my opinion.

True but im almost 100% self taught and i like learning and developing on my own and through my own Observations, its how i've reached where i am now.

I used to a long time ago love to cook but now a days if i cant make it quick with limited need of utensils then i wont cook it but thats because of my current environment and im also sortve a picky eater but not really? its confusing to explain sometimes. x3x

Unfortunately here i cant really grow anything without the neighbors bitching, we have a few new ones and one became noisey as their new while the others have done nothing but start problems all because of an old willowe tree my great grandfather grew on the property, which is now half a neighborhood on one side. The tree is between three properties but is technically owned by these bitchy neighbors who insist my uncle needs to pay to have it cut down which he doesnt want to do and cant really do from how tight money is. I personally love the tree, willows are my favorite~

I honestly wouldnt mind having a small garden or even a fruit tree to care for but i dont think that will happen unless when i move me and my friend score an old house to fix up and love that has a yard.

Well when im not feeling up to doing the boiling pot method i normally break it up, stick it in a bowl, cook it from 1:30 mins to 2:00, or at least until cooked, add a little salt and pepper with its normal seasoning and three drops of original Tabasco and bam, some nice ramen \o3o/ could do it without the tabasco of course as i used to just make it that way and it still tasted bomb.

I also only do this with chicken as so far thats the only flavor i like so i have no clue what these spices would taste like in other flavors o3o

I think I may know what you mean about being a picky eater, yet not. ^0^ Someone in my family is that way. They will eat the cheapest of processed foods without complaining but can't try anything new. ^P^
Willows are beautiful. Why would anyone accuse such a tree of being a menace? o.o The only reason I wouldn't plant something so beautiful is because it would raise the property value and thusly the rent. >.>
If you're dedicated you can grow a few little veggies or berries in a window planter. It requires no yard but the pots are so small and a tomato plant might be too large for it. (And it would block the whole window.) I think strawberries are worth looking into for something like that though. ^-^
Sometimes it is harder to keep neighbors away from my garden than bugs. >{ T T} A lot of tomatoes go mysteriously missing the moment they begin to ripen. >( ._.)

I like to add frozen peas and corn into mine. ^-^ I hear some add canned tuna but I've never been quite brave enough to try it. Now I am craving some instant ramen! ^0^

Its hard to explain for mine.
Like, i'll eat deli sliced pepperoni but if there's like one of those presliced pepperoni bags for a brand i wont touch them or if its a pepperoni stick i wont eat from that either. Just like i prefer fresh fruit/food in general over canned or premade but given my current living situation i can only really afford premade or frozen food so right now im kinda eating terribly because of it and my phobia of cooking in this house.

The tree is very old and slightly dead in the upper branches and a few have fallen in the years but nothing super huge. Guess their afraid of it breaking their shed? though the shed is junk anyways just like our barn is.

Perhaps when i move in with my friend he will want to have some indoor or porch gardens since the apartment he's in is one of those two story ones with a shared giant porch. Dunno about anything else regarding it though. Most my family has black thumbs while the other half has green thumbs. My mother is one of the unfortunates who's plants die in a matter of a week lol or get a natural disaster happening to them.

Ehh, like i said im not a fan of frozen veggies or fruit so i probably wouldnt be into that lol.
Ew canned tuna? o-e My brother adds like milk, butter and mustard to his and it grosses me out xP
