I just wanted to drop a journal apologizing for making all my recent commissioners waiting longer more than expected. Sorry everyone!

A number of things piled up both online and in real life and delayed my schedule by two weeks. I'm working hard to catch up as soon as possible.

If anyone has questions about the status of their commission, please let me know. For now all I can ask is for some extra patience. The list of commissions is still perfectly valid and I'll work with your commissions in order as soon as possible.

Sorry again for making you wait this long!

Feel free to leave your comment requesting a spot first and read the rules after. But, you'll need to read them before I confirm your spot. If your comment doesn't fulfill the rules, your spot will be canceled.

Rules:
1.- Just leave a comment to this journal requesting a spot. Comments not explicitly requesting a commission won't be taken into account.
2.- Only one spot per account. Only one commission per spot.
3.- Once you leave a comment you'll have to wait for my reply to confirm that you were one of the winner comments. In the meantime you're free to send notes and ask as many questions as you may have.
4.- All spots can be of full-body pinup quality or lower (costing $150 or less). Example of full color: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46987522/
5.- Single character per commission. Theme restrictions here: https://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/abluedeer/
6.- Information and references regarding your commission, should be sent via notes, before next Monday.
7.- These commissions are planned to be delivered between this week and the second half of the month of August.

Once all slots are filled up I'll update this journal with the tag [CLOSED] and will write a list below with the names of the people who got a spot. In the meantime, if you were one of the first to comment and you requested a spot, I'll reply to you telling you that you got a spot.
After I confirm your spot, you're free the send the info of your commission in the following format or something similar. Just take into account that I request only the info that's important, so if you don't send the form, I'll probably ask for the details anyway:

*a- Type of commission
*b- Paypal address
*c- Email address if you prefer to use it or specify if you prefer to use FA notes
*d- Theme of the picture and references of your idea. Also if you're willing to give me artistic freedom on the subject, please give me hints of what your character likes and what not, and situations you may like to see depicted.
*e- Write here the most important element of the picture that I need not to forget at all. Or anything that you think I need to pay special attention. (Leave empty if unsure)
*f- Idea and references of the background if you want it. Background will be limited in this batch, so keep that in mind.
*g- The character that you want drawn:
-) Name of the character
-) Gender and species if they're important.
-) Graphic references of the character in case you have them (Ref-sheet are awesome here). If it's the first time you'll have your character drawn, the most detailed written description you have of it will do (Character design comes with 10% extra charge)
-) Description of the main personality of the character in short.
-) Very specific details of the character that can differentiate it from similar characters and that are very important and specific such as special shaped fur patterns, tattoos, unusual eye colors, jewelry, type of tail, etc.
*h- Also just to avoid any problem, here let me know if you want for this piece to be kept private or not.

As always, if you have further questions, please let me know :)
Good luck!

Hi folks!

I've updated my Ko-Fi. C-Chan is a CatGirl is now a Goal on Ko-Fi that will release one issue as we reach the goal. Go to https://ko-fi.com/abluedeer for more info.

Our IndieGoGo campaign was approved by the platform to be InDemand for some extra time. This means that, if you didn't manage to get in a tier before, you can still do it.
The campaign is temporarily open for some extra time, so make sure you don't miss it!

The InDemand mode has no deadlines though, and it can be shut down any time, lasting between a week and a month, depending on multiple factors. So keep that in mind in case you still want all the goodies being offered during this campaign!

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bethellium#/

Thanks a lot everyone for your incredible support so far!

Thanks, everyone for your amazing support so far with this campaign!

And only through the duration of this campaign, can you get things such as wall scrolls, posters, keychains, enamel pins, bookmarks, prints, stickers, and the most popular item of all, 3D figurines of Zoana and Katherine.

Make sure to check what's in store for you there. I'm already working with the material and some stuff will have completely new art created for it, exclusively for this campaign. Some spots are limited, so better check soon!

Make sure to check it before the campaign finishes by the end of the month:

NEW Perks Arriving:

We will be adding more & new perks to the campaign Friday, January 14th.

Chromatic Mage Reload ($620) (6 more available) Demand was intense for the painted figurines- especially now that Katherine will be joining Zoana. Liz has determined that she can paint 6 more Chromatic Mage perks- but that is her limit, so be sure to catch them on Saturday if you want in.
Familiar Face. ($420) (2 available) Everything from the Personal Keepsake perk, with an added bonus: Your OC will be making a cameo appearance inside the graphic novel! Bethellium has crowds of characters- and one of them will be you, drawn in by ABD himself. (Note that these are the equivalent of crowd-extra cameos, so your character won't be delivering any dramatic monologues. If you want details on possible character placement, just chat with ABD and he can tell you what the cameos will entail.) And a note to the Arch Alchemist backer in the campaign- this bonus has been added to your perk as well.
Thank you everyone for lighting up the possibilities for Bethellium! We're thrilled to see the world unfolding, and will make the most of the creative possibilities you are bestowing. The campaign has already exceeded our wildest hopes- so who knows which of these stretch goals we can unlock?

One way to find out! Let's share the magic, and explore more of Bethellium.

Hey everyone!

I just want to share with you some great news! I'll be launching my very first Indiegogo campaign in January 3rd. We'll be getting the first volume of my comic Bethellium printed in graphic novel format!
You may be seeing frequent repetitions of this type throughout my multiple accounts. I apologize beforehand for that, I just really want to make printed versions of Bethellium and painted Zoana figures a reality, so we need all the support we can get!

If you want to keep up to date with the campaign for the printed books and figures, please join our news letter, if you haven’t already:

https://landing.mailerlite.com/webf.....landing/w7s9n2

There will also be exclusive rewards offered that may only ever be available during this campaign:

---Hand painted figures
---Bookmarks
---Wall scrolls
---Keychains
---Possibly more!
If you’ve ever wanted to hear me answer your questions in my own voice, this is also your chance to hear it, because we’ll be live streaming the launch on January 3rd!

Also please share this with anyone you think could be interested! Remember this whole event is about Bethellium, a fantasy epic story that's only starting and that you don't want to miss from the beginning!
If you know someone who likes fantasy magic stories, interesting characters, hidden lore, large worldbuilding and/or beautiful female furries, then you need to invite them to check out this comic.

I promise, neither of you will regret it!

I really, really hope to see you all there! :)

Hey everyone!
Sorry for not being able to open commission spots as regularly as before. Lots of personal and cooperative projects have kept me super busy the last few years.
I want to be perfectly clear that I'll still open non-auction spots in the future. I'm not making auction-based commission spots the only way to get a commission from me. This spot and a handful of others in the future are simply special spots that I'll be offering from time to time. I suggest that, if you're interested in my regular commission spots, you wait until the next time I open them. I should be able to do that at some point during 2022.

Now, what are these "Open Theme" Commission Spots?
Well, these are special commission spots for people who'd be interested in getting a commission from me, with a less restrictive set of rules of what "I Don't draw" than the usual. I'm opening these spots with the idea in mind to try new things and maybe practice out of my comfort zone. My usual "I don't draw" restrictions will remain in place after this special commission spot is finished, so now's the time to push the boundaries a bit and see what comes out from it. If this goes well, I may open similar spots in the future from time to time.

This doesn't mean I'll accept to draw everything and anything though! So, the extended and wider set of rules of what I'm willing to draw for this "Open Theme Commission Spot" is the following:
1.- Anthropomorphic creatures of any kind are accepted with standard proportions. Tails, horns, wings, ears, and other common alterations are also acceptable. If the characters include further alterations from the standard humanoid shape in size or form, please make sure to ask me first before entering the auction.
2.- Feral creatures of any kind are accepted as long as they are well-known real or fantasy species (felines, canines, dragons, centaurs, etc.). If the characters are not known species or are involved in sexual situations, please ask me first to make sure the theme is acceptable before entering the auction.
3.- Any gender and sexuality are acceptable. If you are unsure if your character would be acceptable for whatever reason, feel free to ask first.
4.- I won't accept themes that are clearly illegal. You all know what those are, so I won't list them here.
5.- In case your theme is sexual, I'll accept any situation and/or fetish that real-life people could practice in conditions of mutual consent. There's a very wide range of possibilities here that I'm willing to accept, even in terms of personal fantasies or roleplay. Feel free to ask if you're not sure if your idea is acceptable.
6.- In case of sexual situations that can only happen in a fantasy setting, I'd need to discuss the idea before entering the auction. I'm still open to accepting a multitude of ideas here, but the possibilities are so vast, I can't simply agree to accept anything blindly. So, please ask me before entering the auction.
7.- Any other situation or character I didn't list here, should be acceptable in general. But, if you're in doubt, feel free to ask.

Are you interested in getting this spot? The following are the rules of the auction:
++++///// STARTING BID- $300 - Includes two characters full body pinup in full color with simple background. The highest quality I can offer. This commission would also be given top priority, being worked on as soon as the winner pays and finished as early as possible. \\\\\\++++
Autobuy: $1000
a.- After $600, additional elements can be added to the commission. Such elements will be discussed directly with the winner. The higher the bid goes, the more additional elements can be added, with a limit of 5 characters, a fully detailed background and/or 3 alternative versions, close-ups, etc.
b.- Just serious biddings, please. If someone wins and doesn't claim the prize I'll announce publicly the name and immediately give the prize over to the next higher bidder
c.- If you want to bid, you must reply to the comment below if you're the first to bid, or reply in the bidding chain with the amount of the new bid. Any comment placed outside that thread of replies won't be taken into consideration.
d.- Each new bid must increase at least $20 from the previous bid. Replies with less than that will be erased if spotted.
e.- The auction will finish 24 hours after the last bid. With every new bid, the deadline is pushed forward another 24 hours.
f.- I'll confirm the winner once 24 hours have passed or the auto-buy amount is claimed. Please do not do anything until I confirm your win.
g.- Payment must be made with Paypal. The details will be discussed once the auction is finished.

I'm open to hearing comments and suggestions about this. If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Thanks a lot!
And if you participate, good luck!!!

I´ve been so extremely busy this year, I have not found good inspiration to what to do for this year's Halloween event.

So I thought of asking you all, what would you think would be a fun idea to draw this time!

We've already had "Trick or Treat", "Costume dance party", "monsters in the cemetery", "monster summoning", "winged monsters in a tower", "Halloween tree", "dancing in the forest" and "big pumpkin field".

I've tried to sketch a couple of ideas for 2021 event but nothing truly feels good enough. Maybe we could try something simple again?

What do you think? Do you have any suggestion?

Oh! If you don't know what the yearly halloween event is, you can check what we've done in previous years: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38547909/

Apparently this piece was nominated to 2020 Ursa Major Awards.
