With RF on the horizon I've got to save a bit of extra money for food and travel expenses (darn Frontier tacking on fees like no one's business)! So, I emerge from the shadows to draw one of you lucky folks a one-character, fully-illustrated pin-up!

What Will I Be Bidding On?
Not just any pin-up, but I've become really passionate about painting and hard brushstrokes, so it'll be a side of Aixarata you've never seen before (unless you follow my other account)! I think part of the reason I distanced myself from drawing this past spring was due to some good ol' artistic stagnation. Gotta keep it fresh!

The Content
Please please PLEASE bear in mind that I am not exclusively a pornographer, and I relish illustrating cute little snippets of everyday life! That being said, if you would like pornography, I wouldn't draw anything I'm not interested in myself! This includes the ladies (sorry, can't say I'm any good with female anatomy, in more than one sense), waste, children, diapers, micro/macro, blood/guts, little ponies, etc. If you're unsure about something, always feel free to send a note and just ask!

Well Wait, Why Just One Character?
I haven't touched digital art in a few months, much less any commissions. I'd like to ease back into it with something that I know would make me feel a bit more comfortable, rather than getting overwhelmed with someone going in with his 18 friends to get an orgy pic. And especially if I'm going to be treading the waters on a fresh style, I'd like to start small! HOWEVER I will say that if the bidding gets above $200, I'd consider throwing in another character at your request (trading in one comfort for another, I suppose!)

The Bidding!
...will, as per usual, take place in the comments below. I'll start the bidding and subsequent bids will be made from there.
PLEASE BID ON THE HIGHEST BIDDER'S COMMENT, SO THEY KNOW THEY ARE BEING OUTBID. I may be running the auction here, but I can't be expected to note you folks every time you get outbid!
And please, if you bid, make sure that you’re dedicated to it. No retracting bids via hidden comments please.
Minimum $5 bidding increments!

The bidding will end on Sunday, September 14th at 7:00 pm (GMT -6).

AND HEY, if y'all want to advertise this journal, I'd super duper appreciate it, bidding or not!

Hey guys I'll be at RMFC for most of Saturday (might be heading back before midnight but still yeah)

see you there!(???)

Hey folks! It's been about a month since my last posting so I figured it'd be a good time to give y'all the rundown on what's been going on lately.

First and foremost, I've been playing some live shows with my own original music! My first show was back in February but I had another a couple weeks back, and it was a hell of an experience, enough to really motivate me to put out another release! A lot of my artistic energy has been poured into that, so that may explain the lack of art.

ALSO, and this probably pertains to more of you guys, but I'm taking an indefinite break from commissions. I've found that nothing really drains my willingness to draw like taking the subject matter completely out of my hands! I've also had a nagging desire to push myself into pursuing more serious projects with my visual art, and now is a better time than never to make that jump! This doesn't mean I'm going to stop drawing porn, though I'll definitely me focusing a lot more of my energy into my clean account. I've also been planning a comic on and off since 2011, and I think it's about time to bring that to life (after I graduate, probably this summer).

SO for the time being this account's kind of going to be secondary to my clean account over here:  hygge

If you'd like to follow me someplace where I post all my music, art, and pornography in one place, check out my Weasyl!

These songs chug along like trains

And this song is just really really good despite its lack of previously mentioned train qualities (it's a well-oiled dream machine)

MY TUMBLR

I should say, initially, that I don't really mind at all. I absolutely love seeing that other people appreciate my work enough to post it themselves, and seeing the amount of notes those posts get.

HOWEVER, I don't see the need for those kinds of postings when I usually post the exact same image the second I'm done with them to Tumblr. I realize I hadn't been keeping good track on my Tumblr before, and that some older images of mine may not even be posted, but I've been doing my best to post images there as I put them on FA/Weasyl.

And why? I just want to be able to keep track of things like Likes/Reblogs, because I like being able to keep tabs on how my stuff spreads, who likes it, etc.

Hope this isn't too much trouble! If you've got an image of mine you'd like to post, feel free to check my archive to see if I've posted it already!

Be the first to snap a screenshot of my pageviews at a nice & round 75,000 and you'll get a one-character flat colored picture for free!

Here's what you need to win:
Your screenshot needs to display both my pageviews and the time.
You need to be the first to send me a note with your screenshot and character references.

Good luck. ;O

Hey guys! Just letting you know that I cleaned up my adult Tumblr and tagged everything proper, give it a look! - http://aixarata.tumblr.com/

Also, for the heck of it, here's my normal Tumblr if you're interested - http://fevrier.tumblr.com/

I'M GONNA BARF

For those who are frustrated with current events, just a gentle reminder that I'm active over on Weasyl as well: https://www.weasyl.com/~ataraxia
If anyone who has commissioned me before is joining Weasyl, let me know so I can send you a collection offer!

And, grabbed my name over on SoFurry in case I decided to cross-post over there as well. Think it's worth joining?: https://ataraxia.sofurry.com/

And please, keep your opinions on the drama out of this journal. This is a gentle reminder, not an assertion of my or your opinions. :V

So here's a fellow who grabbed  spiralstaircase's name/character and is using him to do things inside asterisks with random other folks on Twitter.

Is blatant character theft like this normal? What kind of person does that? :'V

Ah well here's some new St. Vincent.

https://youtu.be/-7LsBjrqqHA

--apartment in my underwear groaning and sobbing because it started to take a lot out of me but I got over it and pulled some good grades (hooray).

I should be returning to making art as soon as I can. I have a list of commissions/potential commissions lined up in an imaginary queue for people who(m?) I feel I owe. It goes as follows


1. I'm gonna keep this one a secret for now.
2.  partran
3.  shiacoft
4.  arium
5.  littlethefoxy

SKETCH COMMISSIONS
1.  arium +1
2.  arium +2

Arium's done me a lot of favor's in the past few months. :V

Consider me mostly closed for the duration of winter break (sorry aaaaa)! I'm going to be mostly switching between drawing, working on live music (!!!), diving into MGS, and cooking.

I also am going to try and grab a job and work part-time over next semester.

ALSO in case you're curious, I'm going to be keeping up on my weasyl account in light of recent events. This is especially important for those of you who commission me and like to stay in touch with me about their art. In the instance that FA goes down for any reason, you can rely on me floating around on Weasyl.

That's about all, nothing's super new besides that elated feeling that comes with getting through another semester. :3

There are no more spectacular aging milestones in my life unless I'm the kind of person who gets super jazzed about renting a car at 25.

*confetti*

hello

I had a pretty dang pleasant time in Chicago/Rosemont this year! There were some pretty excellent adventures, particularly a wonderful Saturday expedition out into city led by cubetriangle that involved many taxidermic animals, ant hell (Field Museum), and strange Chinese fungi courtesy of Chinatown (Dearest Cube, dogteeth, pierrezaius, artdecade, and other fellow whose name I never caught, you were all a pleasure in and outside of the convention! Thanks for letting me tag along).

I'd also like to give shout-outs to chazamataz87, forneus, and haruka.pyrocat for commissioning me (and the sweet jegermaistro for trying, though I'm bound to draw him in the future!) during my short stay in the artist's alley on Sunday! Y'all really helped with my financial situation (was put towards some very rewarding meals)!

There were so many people who made this a dang special con for me, but as usual, it was beautiful to see so many friends, old and new, and for us to be goofy as buttheck together.

Y'all made this con super special for me~~




And of course, BOYFRIENDOOOOOOOO  spiralstaircase~~ <3

And please PLEASE forgive me if we hung out a bunch and I somehow forgot you, because at this point I've been awake far too long and I'm already coming down with con crud. :V

See y'all at the next con! (I'm thinking RF, Seattle seems like it'd be a ton of fun)

https://youtu.be/Lmbv5CnxKYs


What day are you getting there?
Friday afternoon//evening!

Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
I never have a solid agenda for these things. I can expect myself to have an outing to downtown Chicago at some point though.

Who should I be looking for?
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11711022/ - Flowery hoodie included.

Who will you be rooming with?
- This fine lil' collection o' critters.

Do you do free art?
See below

Do you do trades?
Yes yes yes, but only when it's appropriate (no trades in the middle of the dealer's den yo)

Do you do commissions?
I may set up in the artist's alley at some point, probably Sunday for some cheap doodles. :>

Do you have prints/ CDs?
Behhhh, not enough money for prints this time around. Can't decorate your walls with colossal wieners. :C

Do you do badges?
blehhhhhh

What is your gender?
The beard

How old are you?
Enough

Are you taken?
A'hoy

Do you have a fursuit?
Yes but it's a horrible frankenstein of a suit and the jaw is falling off and I don't like to talk about it.

Can I touch you?
Ask yourself if touching strangers in any other social situation (besides professional handshakes and fistbumps) is appropriate and there you go.

Can I talk to you?
Absolutely :'>

Can we hang out?
I dunnnooooo?? I guess if we hit it off sure

Can I look in your sketchbook?
Yeah (but I think it's the same one I took to MFF last year)

Can I draw in your sketchbook?
Only if I ask you to, I try to maintain some control over the content of my own sketchbook.

Can I buy you a drink?
Yeah but it'll probably make me sick.

Can I take your picture?
Only if you're tommy

Hey guys! School has, surprisingly, lightened up in the weeks before MFF and Fall Break. Money's been really tight for the past couple of months due to the lack of a real job, and I thought I'd be able to stretch out what I saved from the museum job until MFF, but I don't have as much as I'd like to! I've got the plane tickets and hotel fees covered, so all I need now is some side money for cheap food. :V
So I'm offering some cheaper sketch commissions to be completed before MFF! They'll be pretty simple, 1-2 characters, plain background, etc.

So, $25 for something like this - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11977517/

And $35 for something like this - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11977057/

For another character, add $5! I'd rather not do any backgrounds or anything, just keepin' it simple. I'm also gonna take this as an explicit opportunity to experiment with poses and angles and whatnot.

Copying and pasting my usual fetish spiel:
As far as adult content goes, I enjoy drawing crossdressing, hyper, sounding, degradation/embarrassment, horse wieners, latex, and light bondage.
I've dipped into kinkier stuff, like fisting, heavier bondage, watersports, chubby folk, etc.
My no-no’s are the same as ever: No poop, diapers, children, blood/guts, macro/micro, little ponies, etc.
If you don’t see whatever fetish you were thinking of getting above, always feel free to ask if I’d be willing to draw it in a note or comment! I like to think I’m willing to try new things!
You also may have noticed that I primarily draw dudes, and I can’t claim the same level of anatomical knowledge of the female form. Keep this in mind if you’re planning on getting some tits drawn. :V

Mind you, just because the paragraph about the fetishes I like to draw is the largest doesn't mean it's all I draw, please feel free to commission some clean or tasteful stuff.

SO HEY if you're interested drop a comment below with a general description of what you'll be wanting and some refs. I'll pick 'em based on preference (I'll send you a note as well as responding to your comment).

I'll start off with 3 slots and add more if I feel I can complete them in time!

1.  chipfox - 2 characters, shaded
2.  longblueclaw - 1 character, flat
3.  jegermaistro - 2 characters, shaded, +alt version


And as a side note to those who I've promised full commissions (partran and shiacoft), I still intend to draw your commissions, but if you'd like your picture to be in this particular style, you've got priority over these slots.

I wish FA could embed soundcloud songs - https://soundcloud.com/yellowyear/t.....wind-moves-pt1

Like that's a bad thing.
I'm actually really enjoying this semester so far. All the reading's been really engaging, and my art history seminar is being taught way differently than I'm used to (which is a lovely thing). Only trouble is that with the amount of effort I've been putting into classes so far, I can't say I'll be able to produce much art besides the occasional notebook doodle. I'll try to have myself working on a commission in the background when I have the time, but I also can't promise that my free time away from textbooks won't be spent out with friends (gotta maintain balance and keep my social life alive).
And usually I'd at least post up whatever products come from my more creatively-driven classes, but I won't have too much from this semester. Whatever live sets I do produce will likely be posted over to my soundcloud (I'll post some updates here if I do bother posting anything, gotta let you folks know I'm alive).
And if I do eventually find myself with free time and an aching to draw, I'll prolly try and host a sketchstream or two!

I just can't in good conscious leave you guys artless without an explanation. :V

Some rainy autumn day tunes for y'all.

COMMISSION QUEUE
1. - 2 characters

Check out this journal! - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4929420/

School's startin' up again! Excited to get rolling with some of these classes. So far I've got-

Capstone seminar on Romanticism,
Literature of ancient Rome,
Basic (music) composition,
History of ancient philosophy,
Special study in which I dink around on my MPD-32 and make live sets,
(Dropping) Shakespeare for non-majors,
(Dropping) Drawing with alternative processes/materials,
(Maybe) "Preparation for the soundcheck" (recording class).

So you can imagine my semester's going to be pretty packed, alongside working 15-20 hours a week over at the museum.
SO ONCE AGAIN I can pretty confidently say that my commissions are going to be limited to auctions and sketchstreams, since that's all my schedule will really allow (figured you folks should be the first to know).

But in the meantime you can expect to see me working on these fully rendered commissions during the syllabus-week.

QUEUE
1. & - Auction
2. - 2 characters



And here's the usual lil' tune,
