Guys, I am seeing a new trend starting in the furry fandom. After creating random characters, drawing a nice picture of them and selling the rights of that character to uncreative folks with a lot of money, our dear artists come to the conclusion that they try to draw comics, post everything of them online except the juicy parts.

Mostly I don't see a problem with it, but recently I found out that some of these artists were even crowdfunding to be able to get the comic started. And then withholding some stuff we, the fandom, payed already in advance? On the other side other artists then do comics, print them and decide to post the first pages online and will only continue if they get enough "donations"... practically milking their cash cow twice.

So, uh... Isn't there something getting quite wrong here?

A good jackal bud from Germany is celebrating his birthday and he gives a raffle who may hump his gorgeous ass! In a pic of course :P

Hello, Fellas!

I am giving now a chance to watch me writing on Google docs for now. I am writing on a gift porn story for my dear friend Godracos, so I hope you might want to take a look.

Link to that document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....KM_G7VMNk/edit

As I feel a huge hole in my chest these days and the lack of feedback to anything I have ever created, I wondered if anyone would be interested in a story commission from me. It could be done in German or English and I'd propose a per word payment.

Would anyone be interested in something like that? How much would you pay?

Folks, I am just curious...

I almost instaniously got 4 comments on my newest close-up of me fucking Sam. (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7576998)

The other close-Up of Sam sucking me off got slightly less favs and no comment at all. (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7577088)

Personally I totally adore how he sucks me off with his closed eyes and the jizz coating his muzzle, making it way hotter than the anal pic. So is anal better than oral? Because usually I prefer a well done oral pic over an anal pic.

Areku hat nun ein hübsches, neues iPhone!

Und deswegen auch eine neue Mobilnummer:

Null Eins Sieben Sechs / Sieben Null Sechs Vier Neun Eins Drei Null

I turned 26 today. \o/

Drop by if you want your jackal drawn.

There is this new trend I see on FA getting more and more popular. I have seen it a few times so far that people try to milk even more money out of us furries by selling character concepts. I mean you can have a name or a picture copyrighted, but you can't copyright a character concept.

Additionally, are people that lazy to use their brain and come up with their own interesting and/or sexy character concept? Are they so desperate to buy even that from artists? The reason I am bitching about this is that I have seen a) Artists trying to get money that way and b) people actually bidding on something like that.

As an author and very creative person I just can't understand what it is so hard to work on a character to make him or her to something you love and enjoy.

Since many artists recently have been posting a nice 'How to'-chart about how to communicate with and treat (furry) artists,
I thought I could do this the other way round, as some sort of guideline for how to treat those who spend money on your art.


Now first of all, I'm sure many of you could just lean back and pick those with the best payment and perfect way of
describing what they want, but if you really offer commissions to anyone, and if someone picks it, AND if there is conclusion of a
purchase/sales contract, then please keep the following points in mind.

1. You sure are no mindless drawing robot and no one could expect you to bristle with inspiration 24/7.
BUT, if you offer commissions and let people pay in advance, it is a matter of morality to get things done as quick as possible.
And if an applicant gives you a detailled description, it's less personal inspiration but more 'drawing as been told', like a
construction worker bricking walls according to a plan.

Quintessence: You offer manpower, you get paid, you have to fulfill your part of the contract and get to work - and not wait until another
day because you are currently not in the mood for it. The moment you have the money, it is your job and duty!

2. If you feel your real life taking more and more free time, do not accpet more commissions than you can handle.
Again, especially when demanding payment in advance!
It is far off good morality getting hundrets of dollars within a few days and taking months for the first sketch to come up with.

3. Brief your customers.
It is not hours of work sending out mails to people and telling them about the status.
Again: If you got payed in advance, it is your duty, and not your customers' business to check on your status page
every week to get information about progress.

And also,a gain: If this seems too much work for you, don't keep on accepting further commissions to your already
towering pile of work.

4. Stay within order.
Offering Halloween commissions at the end of September and not getting them done until end of October because you
felt like doing the "Iron Artist" run inbetween is not okay!

Exceptions can be made, but that's the same as in the queue in front of the supermarket checkout counter: If someone wants
a picture as a birthday or wedding gift, ask the ones already in the queue if they are okay with a delay and don't assume
anyone who didn't set a specific date could wait for a year.

Besides, if someone gets the idea to a birthday-gift-picture two weeks before the birthday, it is their own fault if it won't get
done until then - if they are at the end of the queue and no one would let them go ahead.

5. Make a schedule of birthdays and conventions you plan attending or doing art for and offer 'independent' commissions only if
you feel you still have time for them - after cheking on what you have been planning for the conventions.
Is is not fair letting people wait for their picture because you need to squeeze even more commissions/works inbetween to make
more money at the con.

Failing at you personal planning is your own fault and in terms of trading, after receiving payment, your customers go FIRST!

6. Offering commissions for a rush of money - for a broken car or some other bill - is perfectly okay.
Still, the moment you get the money you are involved in a contract and you have to come up with your part within an appropriate
period of time. It is not okay to disregard customers who already payed you for those taking "emergeny commissions". If opening them at all,
either make absolutely clear that those pictures could take x weeks/months or do as everyone else does: Find another way to pay your bills.

Your customers waiting for months already are not responsible for what made you needing money and folks taking your emergency
commissions are no cheap bank to borrow money from. Again, as soon as you receive payment, it is a purchase/sales contract and
it is your duty to fulfill your part within an appropriate span of time.


To this point, that's all I can think of right now.
If anyone of you - my readers - feel the same about what I just wrote, re-post it and if think I forgot about some things worth mentioning, please tell me!

To the artists reading this: I'm not insulting anyone of you equally. There are many 'professionals' amongst you that do business as it should be done.
But should you feel addressed in some way, don't go right into bashing, but think about what made you feel adressed first!

Thank you.

My dear artists!

 nefer and I are looking for an artist to draw for us a little series of six pictures. Those pics should be colored with background and can be digital. The maximum number of characters on such a pic is three.

That series is of erotic and pornographic nature. The actors are three in total: Two males and one shemale, all jackals. For quality we expect to be somewhere around those following pictures.

Examples:
http://d.facdn.net/art/alexeagle/12.....u_fin_show.jpg --- Areku

http://d.facdn.net/art/alexeagle/12.....reku_small.jpg --- Areku and Anubis

http://d.facdn.net/art/nefer/128997.....pt___72res.jpg --- Nefer

For Payment we think about 150-200 Euros (Those are around $175-$250). As I am doing this the first time for Nefer I reserve the right to discuss with her about all the entries and we will decide who we gonna choose. If you have questions about what you're expecting to draw, contact us as we don't want to spoil the series idea too much already.


Best Regards,
Areku

I finally bought my first game on Steam: Civilization V

So I'd like to offer myself to get added by my fellow followers. My Steam profile is:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/arekualkhemi

Or just search for Areku al-Khemi. Beware of the rising Egypt World Empire.

With this journal I give you advice not to use this program and not help the creator to do the tagging work as he supports discrimination. Although already told of the issues with lacking tags and incorrect species he refuses to correct them to continue discriminating shemales/cuntboys, zoophilia and many other aspects of our furry community.

DO NOT SUPPORT OR USE YIFFINDEX!

Joar, neues Jahr fängt schonmal beschissen an.

Ich bin bei der MMC auf Warteposition gelandet, Ruhrcon war auch schon voll, EF kann und will ich mir nicht leisten. Scheinbar das erste Con-lose Jahr für mich.

Eigentlich könnte ich schreiben, wie ich mir für das neue Jahr vorgenommen habe abzunehmen und regelmaäßig zu trainieren. Das Schnuppertraining bei McFit fand ich schon sehr angenehm. Ich denke ich schreibe mich am Donnerstag da ein.

Ansonsten: Ja, ich hab mich ziemlich rar gemacht inzwischen, da ich auf Furbase irgendwie keine Lust mehr habe... Der Aufwand mich durch die Beiträge zu arbeiten steht in keinem Verhältnis zum Ergebnis. Das paart sich auch zu meiner Unlust auf IRC, weil im Pantherchat und Furbasechannel auch kaum mehr interessante Dinge passieren. Wer mich erreichen will, der kann das gerne über meine Instant Messenger machen.

Well, I am on Twitter as well. I doubt someone might be interested, but I'd love to see you there.

I am a lazy bun and admit it. I have some of my (I think they are good) stories, but they are in German and I am looking for someone who can translate them into English.

I do not expect anyone to read this, but I hope I get an answer.
