Returning to FA: Commission Info & Free Art Details
9 years ago
I'm Back, But Why?
Albeit reluctantly, I am returning to FurAffinity. I've been gone two-and-a-half years, instead choosing to be active on Weasyl, Twitter, Tumblr, and recently Furry Network. I still have issues with this site, so why come back now? Because of the userbase. I'm transitioning away from my job, and breaking into full-time art. I could get by with less of a spotlight before, but that's no longer the case.
I am an optimist, still! On the positive side, it will be nice to see some old, familiar faces. I love meeting new people too.
What's New
I'm bringing a whole new tier of art skill to the table, compared to when I left. I've had a couple of years of practice and study, including military exercises and operations as a production artist, and not one but two bouts of the Illustration Master Class! My graphic design skill has improved, my illustration has gotten a hell of a lot better, and I'm working damn hard to become a great fine artist. I've even learned how to oil paint, and have been producing promotional art for Anthro New England.
The Plan
I will still be posting to my other galleries, especially since FA is well-known to be insecure and unreliable. Whatever I put there will end up here too, and vise-versa.
Without my job, I'm producing art more frequently. Expect to see a lot.
Commissions, Streams, & Art Giveaways
First and foremost, I'll be taking a lot of commissions. General art, mature art, graphic design, fine art, illustration, digital art, graphite, oil paintings, portraits, character design, macro/micro, furries, animals, humans — I'm open to a lot of stuff in various media! Realism is my forte in drawing, and I've also made logos for various people and companies. If you're interested in something — even if you don't see it listed here — note me and I'd be happy to talk about it.
Keep an eye on here and Twitter; I'll be streaming on Picarto. Expect to see commissions being painted, as well as personal work.
On a tight budget and looking for something for free? I'm planning art giveaways! Time permitting, I intend to give away a sketch to a lucky follower during each stream. Looking for something bigger or more elaborate? You'll see that on follower milestones. When I reach a certain number of followers in each of my galleries, including Twitter, I'll be giving away a more valuable prize. I'm not far off here: I'll be doing that at 1000 followers on FA. If you have Twitter, when I hit 100 on my new art one, I'll be doing a giveaway there too.

Thanks for reading this. If you have any questions or commentary, please go ahead; I try to reply to everything that I get. You can also shoot me a message any time on my personal, non-art-specific Twitter; I'm on there pretty much all of the time.

Any which way, always hoping for the best! Keep up the hard work!
Seriously though, I'll be commissioning you soon to help out with this goal. It's win win ^^
Thank you, Xili!
