9-puzzle's Journals -- Fur Affinity [dot] net

"Offending" images deleted.

General | Posted 2 years ago

And so the images in the previous journal have been deleted.

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10697762/

I am not happy about it, but I would rather not risk someone reporting an image and me getting suspended.

I am mostly posting this journal to say I did the task so if anything does happen to my account because of an image people can vouch for me. Heck, you can even check the linked journal and see that ALL of the images I was told I needed to delete have been deleted.

Time for me to redesign my small bat OC Baphrim, luckily the small body shapes of some of my other characters were okay so easy enough change...

Attempting to give up Coke a Cola.

General | Posted 2 years ago

So just as the title says I am wanting to give up Coke. Most of my diet is kind of cereal, which is something I don't wish to give up, so I obviously consume a lot of sugar. Since I have dropped down to 1 can of Coke a day I have been tempted to give it up entirely.

Now I know there is Coke Zero or Diet Coke, however if at all possible I wish to avoid aspartame as well, which I believe both of those drinks have,

So my question here is if anyone happens to know of a soda with less sugar and Coke, and without aspartame. At home I can likely omit soda, but times when I go out to eat at say Cracker Barrel, Wendy's or Zaxby's I would like to get a drink which is usually a Coke product. So does anyone know of such an alternative?

Another 6,000 piece puzzle done.

General | Posted 2 years ago

It took me 20 days to complete this one.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme....._Assembled.jpg

If I did not know about the trick to how giant puzzles are cut I wouldn't have likely given up on this one. So think puzzle in quadrants. Each of the 4 quadrants is the same exact cut. So you can use finished sections as a piece guide for the other sections. And since the water was roughly 13 x 94 pieces, that's 1,200 pieces, I was not about to do that all without any kind of help/cheat.

I love the image but boy howdy am I glad to be done with this and never have to do it again. =P

For what it's worth the puzzle is 94 x 64 pieces. And roughly 5 1/2 feet x 4 feet.

Random talking about real life.

General | Posted 2 years ago

Might be a tad bit of a downer journal but whatever.

I am 36 years old, will be 37 in December. I live with my parents and have a part time job. I can afford all the things I want as I have no real wants outside of video games, jigsaw puzzles and the occasional side thing like toys, actions figures, Legos etc.. The issue with the part time job thing is that there is the whole "what are you going to do about retirement issue."

Then of course there is the fact that I don't really have any IRL friends or relationships. Yes I have loads of online friends, but none of them are like right next door or in the same town or anything like that.

This is going to hit me hard eventually and I know that. My father turn 70 this year, and my mother turns 65 next year. Now I am not nihilistic and not thinking they will just vanish tomorrow, but it will happen eventually and then I will be alone.

So why not get into a relationship? The sad problem of being a home body and an introvert, so I would feel very uncomfortable approaching a random woman. Furthermore being 36 I would want someone no more than 10 years age difference as that'd be weird otherwise.

Then that bleeds into another problem. If I were to find "my perfect girl" and get married and all that, on the woman side of things the older a woman is the more difficult a pregnancy is for them. Luckily on my end there isn't too much of an issue, because I realize my father was in his 30's by the time I was born and being raised.

Anyway, a common thing people mention about being a homebody is "you are wasting your life" and I am starting to feel the sting of that. Yes I am mostly happy with what I have, I have activities, games, online friend interaction, but it's all a bandage over a wound that is only going to get worse the longer time goes on. I do have some days where Saturday, my first real work day is drawing near and I worry that I wasted my free time of that "weekend" I had not working.

Now I am not really posting this journal to garner sympathy. Nor am I suicidal in any way. As I said I am mostly fine with my life, it's just the regrets are starting to show through. I know 36 isn't necessarily too late for me to at least find someone to live with if I did not want a full relationship, I just don't know where to start.

I guess a reason to post this is to say, hey, if you are feeling this way you are not alone. You aren't the only one, I am not the only one, there are tons of people like this.

Looking for hyper male images as reference.

General | Posted 2 years ago

So I am in the mood for drawing some hyper male characters. However I am in need of pose/angle references. The kinds of sizes I am seeking are of the "larger than body" kind of sizes, similar to the following:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53019899/
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53016153/
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53015075/
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53004353/

Now the images don't necessarily need to features sizes like that as I can take a pose image that features smaller sizes and boost the size. Mostly this is to get some ideas of poses and maybe activities with which the character is doing in tandem with being huge.

Secondly, if anyone knows of some male characters from video games, cartoons, whatever that would good with bigger than body sizes toss them at me as I am always open to some character ideas.

Nearly every image backed up on InkBunny.

General | Posted 2 years ago

First and foremost I am NOT leaving FA.

Secondly, I received the message from FA stating that my trouble ticket is acknowledged to exist, and that no actions will be taken against my gallery until they are able to properly respond to my trouble ticket. I have yet to receive a response since.

In the mean time I decided to back up most of the images posted on FA onto my InkBunny. You can find the link to my InkBunny either in my artist profile or the website info area.

Some images were not posted there, like a few images that were just my coloring of someone else's image or the lewd human stuff since IB does not allow that. But at least 95% or more of my gallery is backed up there.

Again I can understand people's issue with InkBunny given the content they allow. I will once more reiterate that IB DOES have a black list in which you can add keywords you do not wish to see. Usually it will show autocompletes to certain keywords so you can see something and be like "Oh hey, didn't think of that one, well I don't want to see that so added to the black list."

I am personally not happy with FA's decisions. I do not wish to attack them over it, I do not wish to leave FA, but I certainly am NOT happy with it. In most of these cases they are fantasy animals with no baring on reality so it's a little silly to consider them as something they are not. But whatever.

Lastly, I did create an Itaku account, however I don't think I will be using it.
This may seem childish or even "boomerish" but I don't like the layout and general feel of Itaku. One of my BIGGEST issues is the scroll feed style to the gallery set up. I STRONGLY prefer FurAffinity, InkBunny and e621's gallery pages. After all, it's a lot easier to get to page 25 of 50 than it is to get to the exact middle of a scroll feed. So because of this it is not very likely that I will be using Itaku.

Now if someone knows of any sites that allow what you see me posting on FA let me know about them. But please only share them if they are like FA, IB and e621 with the gallery page setup as I do NOT wish to use the scroll feed style.

Anyway. As said I believe most of my art is on InkBunny. I do still need to double check everything which is going to be fun since I categorized the images into various posts. If anyone wants to double check in tandem with me that'd be cool, but obviously I am not demanding it.

Indie Legend of Zelda-like games?

General | Posted 2 years ago

So since Nintendo doesn't seem to have any interest in traditional Legend of Zelda games I need the itch scratched by some indie games that are similar.

So if you know of any indie games that are like 3D Legend of Zelda games, or 2D Legend of Zelda games on the Switch please toss them at me.

I already own both of the Blossom Tales games, so no reason to mention either of those.

Banjo Kazooie turns 25 soon.

General | Posted 2 years ago

So recently I rewatched this, and in the thumbnail you can see the release date:

https://youtu.be/1ggDvo03VXk

June 30th 1998, granted things online say it was the 29th, but the fact still remains that Banjo Kazooie turns 25 years old soon.

The reason I mention this is a few reasons. One reason is because I like this game, it may very well be my second favorite video game of all video games I have ever played.

The second reason is because I want to make an image of Kazooie celebrating the game's birthday. Likely just something of Kazooie hyper with something she is wearing showing 25. =U

The last reason is to hopefully inspire others to want to make some Kazooie pics in celebration of the game's 25th birthday. If not, well, no harm no foul in asking. Just figure some people draw things at the drop of a hat for arbitrary reasons, at least this there is some kind of reason.

More Kazooie fanart would be nice to see, especially hyper stuff. >w>

Images possibly pending deletion. journal

General | Posted 2 years ago

Since I like giving advance warning of these things I will be talking about this upcoming July 1st event.

First and foremost, nothing has been deleted yet. That will only happen more near to the end of the month, in other words closer to July 1st.

Secondly, I did send a trouble ticket to the FA staff on June 1st and have not received a response yet. I am not saying that to say anything negative about the staff, merely saying that I am ATTEMPTING to comply with the new rule change but I do not have all of the information to make this action.

Furthermore I have no desire to leave FA. It may not be the best site, but I actually prefer the simplicity of it compared to other "furry" art sites. Since I rarely break the rules I rarely have to deal with the staff, so I don't have much of a negative point of view of the site based on the staff. I know bad stuff likely goes on behind the scenes, but really welcome to the internet, bad stuff happens with MOST higher ups on a website. So, sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad.

In the previously mentioned trouble ticket I have linked just under 150 images. Most of these images are of canonically designed Pokemon. Some of the images however are of non Pokemon stuff that are on the smaller end of things. The latter is likely something I did not have to send, but I do still worry about it as I don't really want to be suspended from FA just because I have a shortstack kobold named Dezzy, and a small bat character named Baphrim:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46958859/
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/34700232/

Obviously I did not create these character to be children. They don't act like children, they don't talk like children. But you know, all it takes it someone's personal view point.

I will likely be posting these images to my InkBunny account which can be found here:

https://inkbunny.net/9puzzle

I do understand people's discomfort with IB on account of certain content there. I will say that IB DOES have a blacklist which you can add any offending keywords to and you will not see them. I learned of this recently and did start adding said keywords so I no longer see such content. I may like small characters with hyper endowments, but not when the actual focus is them being a child. As shown above with Dezzy and Baphrim, the appeal is more so a small (in stature) character who happens have oversized endowments.

Anyway. I will be posting a separate journal with the 150 images so this journal isn't cluttered with 150 URL links. Said journal can be found here:

An art and poses related question.

General | Posted 2 years ago

As some may have seen I have been trying to add a little pose variety to my art. I feel that this has been a success but I think I need a way to make this process easier.

So before I explain two methods I use I want to start by saying having a pose fit the character I am drawing is important. I don't draw this character but a good example would be Fluttershy from My Little Pony. I wouldn't wish to draw her in some kind of slutty pose as from my perspective it doesn't suit her, so I would likely choose something more subdued or gentle looking in terms of posing.

I know it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things but it matters to me.

On my computer I have a folder full of reference images. They are divided into a few major categories, basic pose images, breast focused images, breast larger than body focused images, cocks larger than body images, muscle focused images and astronomical hyper.

When wanting to draw a character I have two options I typical go with:

1: I select a character I wish to draw, (let's say snake form Zorayas from Elden Ring) and I begin to look through all of the images in my pose reference folders. The problem is this is HUNDREDS of images so scouring through until I find a good pose may take a while and runs the risk of getting a defeatist attitude about finding the right pose.

2: I select a pose, and then try and figure out a character to adhear to the pose. BUT, this runs the risk of my personal mood for the character maybe not being on point and I don't want to draw this character in this pose that suits them.

I feel like I'm at an impasse here and I am not sure what I can do. Just had a moment where I was just kind of looking through images on my computer and looking at my paper and clipboard making little progress with ANYTHING.

So does anyone have any advice? I did consider maybe sorting the images more finely, like by pose type.
Laying on back/stomach/side
back views
walking
sitting
sexy pinup styled poses
and whatever else. I just don't know really. I mean I don't mind organizing things, I just don't know if that would be the solution or not.

So, any thoughts?

The recent rule change on FA.

General | Posted 2 years ago

The one spoken of here:

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10552819/

Now I have NOT deleted anything yet, still do have until July 1st. But oh boy this sure as hell is a fun one...
I have a number of OC's that are quite small/shortstack. Granted it doesn't SEEM like those are part of this, but with how vague things are ya never know.

Furthermore I do have some feral Pokemon in my gallery which, heh heh, means they may need to go.

I mean, my art has been more leaning towards the taller side of things anyway rather than the small or shortstack ways, but I do still have a liking for that and do have several images of it.

I do still have an Inkbunny account, and I may go and log into my Weasyl account and add to it because of this. But man, this sucks, I KNOW I'm going to have to delete several images and I HATE deleting images.

Why I stopped masturbating & a discussion of self control

General | Posted 2 years ago

Yeah that's a title, and talking about this may seem a little TMI but it's all in service to talk about self control.

I am 36 and I believe I accidentally learned how to masturbate somewhere around 11 or 12 years old. Raging puberty hormones and all that. I haven't done this every day since, but certainly around twice a week if not a bit more.

A few things to speak of in regards to this, I would often times couple a masturbation session along with a drawing session. So thanks to this I would often be distracted with wanting to draw things that arouse me, so basically defaulting to certain things. Well back near the start of April I got sick, nothing serious just a minor cold. Well when I am sick I am not in the mood for masturbating which also prevents me from wanting to draw as well. Well over the next few days I started to give it some thought, "do I really need/want to masturbate anymore" and the conclusion I came to was no, I do not.

And over the past month I have no slipped from this and have still been able to draw the things I want and control myself from getting aroused.

This has had beneficial effects in that I am able to focus and take more time in figuring out and attempting to draw some more poses. That's why some of the stuff I have drawn lately have had a little more pose experimentation.

In the long run though I have been more and more leaning to the side of favoring simple pinup styled images. I have never really liked buttholes, never likes vaginas, am not terribly fond of overtly sexual things so I do really see it as though I like more tame things in the long run.

So the reason I speak of this is to talk about self control. I find it interesting when that whole "No Nut November" thing rolls around and people talk about failing this in a matter of a week or so. At least from my perspective this shows a lack of self control.

Having self control is not a bad thing, there are so many benefits to be gained from it.
You don't have to buy this thing that is by all intents and purposes optional or unnecessary.
You do not have to masturbate for that quick few seconds of pleasure.
You do not have to play a video game for excessively long periods of time.
You do not have to overeat and so on.

Being able to tell yourself no is a very useful thing that anyone can do if they are willing to try. Take it from someone who has masturbated for nearly 25 years, I was able to give it up at the drop of a hat and I am okay with it. In fact I am happy that I gave it up. No longer do I have to worry about being interrupted, no longer do I have to worry about disposing of the aftermath, no longer do I have to think about my next fap, I am just over it.

But anyway, sorry for the TMI journal. Don't take it as disgusting, take it as something to think about. Self control can be a good thing.

Like Dreamer, a shmup game suggestion.

General | Posted 2 years ago

So for those who may enjoy shmups, bullet hells danmakus or whatever you like calling them I very much suggest "Like Dreamer:"

https://store.steampowered.com/app/...../Like_Dreamer/

It is also on Nintendo Switch which is where I have it.

So I will admit that the main reason I bought this game is because of the busty girls, but upon playing it I greatly enjoyed it. Now I doubt I am good enough for the hardest difficulties, but the two lower difficulties feel very approachable.

I will also say I wanna draw the bunny girl at some point.

Anyway, if you want a fun shmup with some nice eye candy this is one that will be fun to play.

Looking for art-trades involving my octopus OC Cirishi.

General | Posted 2 years ago

Just as the title says. I get stupidly apprehensive asking people for art-trades, so I will ask publicly.

The character in question:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50871645/

Obviously I am wanting anything involving hyper, typically anything from the sizes in the picture all the way to astronomical.

Looking for animated gif examples.

General | Posted 3 years ago

Okay this is a weird one that needs some explanation.

As you have seen I have made a couple of animated gifs as of late. I personally am terrible at thinking up/making things with no form of reference so that is why the 3 gifs of Ophira I have made were based on gifs that I find.

So then, what I am seeking are things like this:

Simple light swaying as I do NOT like twerking or VERY exaggerated movements. Like intense breast/butt/cock movements.

Things like maybe bending over.

Undressing, or putting on clothes.

General breast/butt/cock expansion, maybe even upwards of astronomical.

MAYBE some strip pole dances.

Basically anything that isn't rapid exaggerated movements and all that.

Updated latest gif submission.

General | Posted 3 years ago

I typically don't do journals about updating my works, but given the overhaul to the gif I feel like mentioning it.

The Ophira running gif was updated:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50549571/

If you look at the gifs on their own side by side you can tell the differences:

Old version:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme....._Run_Final.gif

New version:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme....._Run_Fixed.gif

1: The arms were not swinging in the right way, the right arm was forward with the right leg being forward and that is not right.
2: I made the left arms and legs a darker tone so it makes things more clear.
3: I made her upper body "bounce" a little more with every step.

Just felt like bringing it all up because a gif is a lot more work than a singular image. ._.

Looking for people willing to draw Wetgal from Shantae.

General | Posted 3 years ago

So I have come to REALLY like the Wetgal from Shantae:

https://cdn.staticneo.com/ew/thumb/.....ae7_wetgal.jpg
https://steamuserimages-https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/shantae/images/8/84/7S_card21.png/revision/latest?cb=20210131193116

And as such I would like to see more art of her.
As usual I am posting this journal in the hopes of maybe doing some art-trades involving her, but if you just wanna draw her that'd be cool too. >_>

But yeah, not enough art of this enemy and I need more art of her. =U

Looking for a super fast running animation.

General | Posted 3 years ago

So I am looking to make a side view running animation of my character Ophira. What I am seeking in terms of speed is something like Sonic the Hedgehog, Saitama from One Punch Man or just general crazy super fast running. Not so much like classic Sonic spinning legs, but something where you can see the legs moving albeit motion blurred.

I'm likely going to just go with the whole "Naruto run" method of having her arms simply held straight back as I find the arms moving to and fro in crazy fast running to look a little silly.

So if anyone has any gifs or videos of what I am seeking that would be helpful to me so I know where to start with this.
