This trailer is actually pretty epic. I never played the first because I didn't think it'd be a good reaction after watching everybody else play it, but I should totally play this one blindly.

By update, I mean completely new reference images.
I like to update my refs about twice a year, so I want to be making a new ref for Ace & Keruza (as well as Buddy's first ref) soon.

If you have either bought or made ref images, how often do you get new ones? Have you had the same one for over a year, etc?

Come on...
Just a slice...?

I said that I knew I wouldn't be going to AC2014 because of the fact that another con in my own city was happening 2 weeks after, and I couldn't go out of town at that time. I said I would definitely be going next year, but now things don't seem so clear. I have been offered to be able to study abroad in Italy from June 21 - July 22, 2015, and my decision should be due by the end of October. AC happens between those dates, so I would not be able to go.

Because it's a little too early, not all will be clear yet. I'm still planning on going to maybe one furry con between now and AC but the big con is currently undecided for me now. I'd like to take the opportunity to go to Italy but depending on what's happening in my life we'll see where that goes. Either way, it should be an awesome summer next year.

I'm all moved into college and the wifi here works great too.

Since this is college, I have a little more free time in terms of not having as much class time or having as many classes to study for, so I am glad about that.

Hopefully I can use enough free time to work on art too.

And if you haven't read about it, I made a new DeviantArt page for my photography. If you like some of the photos you might have seen on my furaffinity page, you should check out http://photosqrl.deviantart.com/

Thanks! To another year..

For those who like my photography, I have made a new deviantArt page purely for it. I normally don't post all of my photography on furaffinity, so if you would like to see more, follow PhotoSqrl on deviantart. Thanks!

College starts for me in 1 month. August 22nd.
I'm not readyyyyy Dx

Why I'm seeing a bunch of Tony the Tiger art out of nowhere? Is there some kind of contest going on? XD

I think 15 slots is enough for right now. Thanks everyone who wants a free sketch from me, I'm happy to do them for you all ^^

Hiya, I was going to start this yesterday but I got too distracted from other things. So, I am going to start giving out free sketches to those who want some free arts. They are traditional sketches hand-drawn and scanned.

As a bonus, however, I can offer to digitally color these sketches if you choose. The catch is there is a fee for that. For just $5 USD I can add in the color, and I will give you both the original sketch and the colored version. If you are low on money but still want this, you can always just claim a sketch and ask for a colored one later.

Sketch example: http://i.imgur.com/tFEPvaX.jpg
Colored example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13765254/

In order to claim a spot, either comment below or send me a note with the following info-
Character ref: image links only, please. I could try to work with descriptions but I fear of drawing wrong or something. Also up to 2 characters in one picture please. Ref can be either SFW or NSFW
Color: Yes or No (Color is $5 USD)
Info: What do you want them doing. I can do one or two props. No backgrounds
And anything else you want to add :)

I will draw the sketches in the order of the claimed slots. But if you decide on a colored sketch now, you will be moved 2 slots up if applicable. If you decide a colored sketch later, you might stay depending how close I am to your slot.

As a reminder, I am going to San Japan from July 18-20.

I'll go between fursuit to cosplay to just me XD If you happen to be going (commentt~) I'll be wearing my Ace badges 24/7 so watch out :D

After that, I can finally start on those dern sketch requests/commissions.

stay tuned!

I would love to go to Anthrocon this year, but there's 2 more cons I wanna go to weeks after it and that's a bit too much traveling for me XD.
I will be staying home for San Japan (July 18-20) where I can make my Ace Squirrel fursuit debut.
Then a week after I want to travel and go to Megaplex (July 25-27) for my fursuit debut at an actual furcon.

Next year for sure I will go to Anthrocon.

Sure why not, I need to post more journals anyway lol

Re-Post as "I Cost $_________ a Night"

If you don't wanna know who's now playable in Smash Bros do not continue reading beyond this point.




So, Charizard got confirmed as a playable character (By himself, no stupid trainer) and so did Greninja. But wait, where's the grass type? Hmm. This may be a hint for one more new Pokemon to come who's a grass type. We'll see! I can't wait for this game!

I have asked  sheevee to make my Ace fursuit since I don't think I can do it myself XD It's going to look great. I can't wait for it to come, I'm so excited I've been thinking about it ever since I talked to her. Can't wait :D

...and upload them :) I kid, I kid.
...or do I?

I have been uploading pictures of my new fursuit, made just in time for Halloween. I went out for the first time and everybody loved it.

Originally, I was going to make Ace Squirrel, but I have decided to create a brand new character named Kazuma, and he is a bat. The reasoning behind it was that I wanted to practice and get use to the process of making a fursuit, and I learned a lot, made a lot of mistakes, and learned from them. My next fursuit will definitely be Ace, and I still have plenty of leftover material to make him. The only thing I need is the fur, since Ace has 2 different colors than Kazuma does.

I have drawn art of Kazuma, but I never uploaded it anywhere. I might shortly, just so you guys can see my original ideas. I might even color a few of the sketches I've done. First quarter at school has ended, so I'm going to try to keep back on track with my uploads. Before my pictures, my last upload was 3 months ago, and it was a freaking summer picture :/ I'll continue to upload what I can and draw some more art. I am getting better with every piece and I hope you will enjoy what has yet to come!

--Rant begins here, news is below--

On websites that don't show the (full) caps in a username (like TwitchTV or Transformice), people will call me Aces. What kind of name is Aces?? When people see "Acesquirrel" they see the "q" as a stopping point, and so they think that's where a space would have to come in. But with "AceSquirrel" the S is capitalized and you can clearly see it says "Squirrel" not... "Quirrel"??? What is a Quirrel, even?

I apologize for that little rant. I never thought I'd do that. But I reallllyyyy needed to get that off my chest.

--Rant ends here--

Uhhh, soooo... News! I just got home from a vacation. Saw a lot of furries, took a lot of pics! I also went swimming for a while, and I scraped my knee on the floor of the pool while getting out of a tube, and it still hurts to this very moment. Judging by my poll results, a lot of people (3... ok one of them was me) are going back to school on the 26th. That's one week from now! By the way, I forgot my sketchbook at home... sooo yea I couldn't draw anything. That leaves me with work up to my elbows. I better get started, then. My next Art To Do journal will be up when I DO SOMETHING SINCE THE LAST ONE... Cya later :D

I never post WIP images on FA or DA because I always post them on twitter. You can follow me on twitter here: https://twitter.com/AceSquirrel

I finally thought of my sketchbook idea for the summer. So far I've just been drawing random things (even humans, and they come out pretty good now. I STILL make their heads too big, though >.<). But now I have decided to do something different. I'm gonna practice my furries!! I've only been drawing squirrels and dragons. I've drawn turtles, dogs, birds, and other animals, but I want to practice drawing their forms. So what I want to do is, each day I will draw a different animal. On each page I will draw the realistic feral form, then the furry anthro form. While doing so, I should practice posing.

What kind of animals do you think I should draw? Comment below!
