Patreon 'Relaunch' (Note- Alorok is still dead)
Posted 6 years agoHey Everyone! This is an important announcement!
It's come to my attention that Patreon may be changing how to launch or re-launch a patreon page in the future. And, so to be completely certain that my page has been verified for future use- I've relaunched it.
HOWEVER- My schedule isn't prepared to use the patreon how I was using it before, or how I'm planning on using it for future paid content. It's currently empty. But, due to the way my hiatus went, lots of people are still pledged, and may not be wanting to stay pledged. I'm not wanting anyone to be charged without their knowledge- so I'm putting out this announcement- if at any time you were a patron of mine, please check your account to see if you're still pledged to Alorok, Alovera, or Lushaani. And change your pledge or remove it entirely.
Essentially- My patreon is currently only functioning as a Tip-Jar, and no exclusive content will be being posted there for the time being! So please- remove your pledge if you don't want to support a tip jar patreon!
https://www.patreon.com/lushaani
And if you like my art but haven't followed me there- I'm Lushaani now!

lushaaniDiscord Group!
Posted 7 years agoAnd so- between deviantart's content policty, Tumblr imploding, and me shutting down this account.... It feels like the right time to make my own little corner of the world. I'm resurrecting my old patron discord server as an art dumping ground.
https://discord.gg/FFBfxGu
And it looks like my new lushaani account here on FA will be the only "art gallery" that's actually useable.

Every Year! Ouchies!
Posted 7 years agoI'm afraid I might have lightly sprained a finger- nothing serious. It doesn't hurt and is just a tiny bit swollen the day after.
But it does mean that the next couple Aloween pictures may be a bit sloppy, as I try not to aggravate it.
I should still be able to draw, as it's just one of my hotkey fingers, but warning in case tomorrow's or others end up being posted really late.

The Last Aloween...
Posted 7 years agoThat's right- this is a, I guess a "let you know now" that this Aloween, Aloween 5, is going to be the last one...
. . .
. . .
But I'm still intending to do month long Dark-Themed Halloween Events! XD
Clickbait title for the win. Anyhoo. What's actually going on is I'm going to be re-branding my work! I've been brainstorming new names. Moving away from the "Alo" title, and with that goes the pun of "Alo-ween." I'd say of that, the Aloween pun is what I'm going to miss most TvT
Sometime in the next month or two, I'm going to be either making new accounts on Tumblr or Fur Affinity, or changing names and site names! So this is a heads up in case they catch you off guard! I'll probably make a new Furaffinity account soon, but post Aloween 5 to Alorok regardless. I should probably also start watermarking my work- or at least signing it XD So that will probably pop up in my pics from now on.
As well, I'm going to be making more liberal use of Scraps and even deleting older works. So if you've got a favourite SUPER old sketch, like older than 5 years, you should probably go save it.

Safe and Sound!
Posted 7 years agoHome sweet home! Hopefully! You know the new place jitters 9v6;;;
But I've successfully made the journey from Vancouver BC to Kansas Kansas. Settling into my new place! Getting the work station set up, learning the lay of the land, and stuff! The butterflies and anxieties of such an adventure are set in of course- but I'm also excited. It's like... I dunno. Like- my future is mine again. Looking forward to getting back to work, streaming, game streams, and Aloween preparations!
Thank you all for all your love and support- I couldn't have done it without you- nor gotten though these months in general.
But yesh- I'm well, I'm starting the settling process and hope to find a new normal in the next week! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Journey Begins...
Posted 7 years agoWell, it's time to get going. I'm leaving to start my journey to Kansas, a little earlier than expected.
But it's exciting! New place to stay, new opportunities, new schedules! I'll be on and off as there's wi-fi for the next week of travel. But I'll be safe and hope to be in my new place by the 29th or 30th!
When I land there will hopefully be all kinds of new art! Finishing Hope's Night Out, getting back to Airy Shamans, and possibly Aloween prep! I dunno! Part of my journey is going to involve a lot of pondering about what I want my pervy works to be. But at least commissions will open once I've settled XP

Moving Next Week!
Posted 7 years agoYou know, the sick and twisted sense of humour in me was tempted to name this journal "Time to move on" or "moving on" but I realized that isn't funny.
Anyway, I've finally found a place to live again after these crazy few months. I'm moving next-week, the 22nd/23rd, and the drive will take me about a week. And since I'm packing up, and saying goodbyes's this week- I'm going to be on sporadically from now until I settle in early September.
I've found a friend and roommate willing to put me up for a while, and at this stage of my life that's the most I could hope for. Don't know where I"m going or ending up anymore, and so a safe bed is a great start! I'll be living in Kansas for a few months or longer, and like, we'll see what happens in the long run! Kind of time for an adventure, y'know? Leave the little island behind and move on!
Naturally, when I settle again, Pervy Art will come more regularly- commissions, comic projects, I've got a lot I want to finish and do. So- hopefully see ya'll much more often when I'm safe and sound!
Though, I am debating a name-change, and might make a new FurAffinity page to reflect that- so hey, might be moving in multiple ways in a few weeks/months.

How to pick just "One"?
Posted 7 years agoThere are so many amazing animals to be! I just can't choose one to be my main Fursona!
I draw mainly humans, but I love furries and want to get better at drawing them. But like- I guess I kinda want to have a more consistent animal form for my avatar. I just can't choose... as a Transformation Artist I would just do animal-TFs to become all sorts of animals.
But like- my favourite animals I've been are- Cow/Buffalo, Wolf/Husky, Bear, House Cat, and one shots of various others.
I'd want to pick something from North America, and ideally fluffy....
So I guess out to ya'll who have a fursona- how did you choose yours? :D

Back From Sizecon!
Posted 7 years agoHey ya'll! I am back from Sizecon 2018 woooooo!!!
sizecon

sizecon
It was an, amazing trip.
Adventuring around New York was quite the experience! I was shown around by a friend, getting to see the Rockefeller Center, Central Park, quick glance at the Museum of Natural History, Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, Times Square- and so much stuff I wish I had the time or funds to stop and visit in detail! Though, it was hard cause of just how hot it was- humid, loud, beating sun- it was intense and I only barely made it TvT
The con meanwhile, was, the best of the best. It was so comfortable, so open, and just had a wonderful time being open and meeting up with people! There were so many artists and friends that was fantastic to meet in person! People who recognized me- even though I hadn't a booth or card or anything. And so many new people whose passion for Size-Kinks and content was infectious! I loved talking to people at the socials, hearing stuff at the panels, and just bumping into peeps around the convention <3
I spent a lot of time, especially hanging out in the nights after the con, with
milkybody
eikasianspire and
owlizard !!! And met a bunch of new peoples to hang out with in and around too <3
Speaking on two panels, the Dark-Side kinky panel, and the Diversity panel was so great. I loved answering questions, hearing other perspectives, and just seeing the intensity that some people have. Learned a lot and the inspiration flowing right now is *intense.* There were relaxing game corners, booths with prints, buttons, shirts, books, commissions, props, photo-editing. The adorable cosplays of busty anime gals or pretty fairies was the best. (Peoples really liked my Eiken Cosplay >v>) Lots to see and do- but really it was spending time with people that was the absolute star <3
Although- participating in the Breast Expansion Cafe was also probably a big highlight +v+ It was really an experience to serve snacks and drinks while wearing progressively bigger and heavier prosthetics, improvising with the other gals, and having fun!
The trip, was really worth it. It was one of the most comfortable, peaceful, but exciting conventions I've ever been to. I knew so many people there that it always felt like a friend, new or old, was around. The encouragement for me to set up a booth next time, love for my work even though I didn't even really have a sketchbook, and the excitement when I realized who I was talking to here and there- was, amazing.
I'm definitely hoping I can make it next year- and possibly even do more to help out and make it the most welcoming place for those who like things getting bigger, Bigger, HUGE, or SMALLER, Smaller, Tiny-

Super excited! And I'll be sure to tell ya'll about it when I get back : D
Also really Nervous, it's my first time to such a big city or travelling so far on my own. Going to be an experience for sure! Meeting artists and friends in person, wearing a silly busty cosplay, checking out panels and stuff. An adventure!
Okay, see ya'll on Tuesday ^^

Sizecon Next Week!
Posted 7 years agoHey everyone~!
I've been getting back on track at a decent pace. Been getting sketches for my waiting commissions done, finishing up offline appointments and responsibilities. And, while I've hinted at it, an official announcement makes sense!
I'm going to be at Sizecon in New York next week!
http://www.sizecon.com/
Arriving Friday, leaving Monday afternoon-! So a weekend of Size-things in the biggest city I've never been to!!! I'll be participating in a couple of events, but for the most part I'm there to visit! Got a silly "cosplay" in the works. And put together a little squishy thing for it! If you happen to be out there- I'd be pumped to see ya'll!

Everything will be okay: Update
Posted 7 years agoHey everyone, thank you so much for the well wishes and the patience for while I was away.
The past few weeks have hit me with some really big changes, but, with your support, donations, and others- I have a safe place to stay until I find my own place, paid my debts, and will be able to get back on my feet as soon as I’m working regularly again. I don’t know what the future holds anymore, but I’m ready to take it one day at a time. I’m still doing my best to not just let depression rule each day, doing a little more every morning to find a new normal. And, making progress.
I’m going to be around a bit more, but no promises on when I’ll get to streaming with any regularity- and I’ll try to start posting again in the next couple of days.
For now, I’m letting you all know- I’m okay, and things will hopefully become more stable soon. Thank you for all the love and support- and hopefully, this is the last update on the ups and downs of Alo’s life for now. Back to stability and ups.
…………………………………
Commissions: They’re closed for now- I will be answering all the messages I received about commissions, but starting today: June 28th- I won’t be accepting new commissions, just the ones I was messages before today. And I will get to sketching those hopefully in the next week.
Donations: While I’m back in the green-, no panic or fear. Every little bit helps! I’ll be starting a ko-fi expansion sequence, and every 50$ gets a full expansion! I can hold a lot of coffee alright? :P Currently at 5 parts.

I'm Sorry- I need more time
Posted 7 years agoThank you all- so much for the work and the donations-
With it- I've been able to stave off most of my debts- and was almost ready to fully get back to a solid work schedule.
But, some really intense things have happened today. And- I'm afraid I need more time.
I'm sorry to those whose notes I haven't responded to yet- and to those waiting for sketches.
I don't have a time estimate on how long I'll need to recover from this. But, I'll try soon.
Thank you- everyone. So much.

I'm Blown Away QvQ
Posted 7 years agoI can't believe all the love and support you've all given me in just the first day of asking for help. I really can't.
After this first day, between ko-fi donations, paypal gifts, commissions, and even Wingman hosting his own donation stream- I'm out of absolute Red Alert TTvTT <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I'll be able to pay for my room, renew my insurance, and make a minimum payment on my credit debt. I can't believe it. I am so grateful- I am just- happy crying and shaking and can't keep up. Thank you all, so much <3
Moving into Amber- I'm going to keep accepting more emergency commissions and donations at my Kofi- I'll make it through this week, but getting back on my feet is going to be it's own journey. I'll do my absolute best to keep up with the commissions- and find some way of thanking everyone. You all mean so much to me- Thank you <3

Commissions: Per character: Sketch 20$, Lineart 35$, Flats 45$, Shading 60$

I need help- Commissions and Kofi
Posted 7 years ago...........................................
So everyone, I have to swallow my pride and admit something. I've been in a really tight place these past few weeks- related to the hiatus I took a few months ago, life has gotten a bit harder to manage and it's finally caught up to me in ways that I can't deal with. I don’t have any resources to pull upon left, I can’t afford my bills, and though I have a safe place to stay- it’s stressful in its own ways. I’ve done my best to not burden anyone with my situation, something I struggle with is worrying about bringing anyone down with my problems. But, I can’t afford that right now.
So, I’m opening up emergency commissions. There is no limit on how many commissions I’ll be taking for this- But- Acknowledge that there is also absolutely no time-frame for when they’ll be done. Depending on how much time I can work or if my computer gives out like it’s been starting to- it could be more than weeks before I’m fully done. And- I’m also afraid I’ll need to take payments up front- before the sketch phase like I prefer to do. Emergency and all that.
I’m needing to renew my car insurance, about 200$, my current rent is 200$ as well, a minimum payment for my near max credit is 100$- so my goal is 500$ USD. I’ll worry about food and other essentials after that. (I can mooch food off my brother in the meantime) But in all honesty- that *is* a minimum goal. It’s what I need to do before the 10th. I need to work harder to fully get up on my feet- pay my debts- and fulfill promises.
It’s been a crazy few months- and I’ve been struggling to keep up the strength to do the minimum, much less my best. But, it’s do or die right now. So the best is all I can do. Thank you all so much for the support, fun comments, and love! Regardless of what happens to me offline- you all make getting up each day a little easier!
…………………………………………………….

Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/alovera
I have a Kofi- it was for my little Mayternity thing that didn’t fully spread its wings and soar, but I do have it. And- though I am offering commissions- anything, even just 3$ helps so much.
I’m considering doing something fun if I meet a 100$ goal on Ko-Fi alone. I don’t know what- can’t really brainstorm right now- but if such a thing happens I’d want to do something super special.
…………………………………………
Thank you all again for the support over these years- and the patience these past few months. I’m sorry for pretending everything’s been “Fine.” In the end, I know that such stubbornness doesn’t really help anyone. I hope that I can meet up and exceed my own hopes.
I love you all <3

So, I’m opening up emergency commissions. There is no limit on how many commissions I’ll be taking for this- But- Acknowledge that there is also absolutely no time-frame for when they’ll be done. Depending on how much time I can work or if my computer gives out like it’s been starting to- it could be more than weeks before I’m fully done. And- I’m also afraid I’ll need to take payments up front- before the sketch phase like I prefer to do. Emergency and all that.
I’m needing to renew my car insurance, about 200$, my current rent is 200$ as well, a minimum payment for my near max credit is 100$- so my goal is 500$ USD. I’ll worry about food and other essentials after that. (I can mooch food off my brother in the meantime) But in all honesty- that *is* a minimum goal. It’s what I need to do before the 10th. I need to work harder to fully get up on my feet- pay my debts- and fulfill promises.
It’s been a crazy few months- and I’ve been struggling to keep up the strength to do the minimum, much less my best. But, it’s do or die right now. So the best is all I can do. Thank you all so much for the support, fun comments, and love! Regardless of what happens to me offline- you all make getting up each day a little easier!

I have a Kofi- it was for my little Mayternity thing that didn’t fully spread its wings and soar, but I do have it. And- though I am offering commissions- anything, even just 3$ helps so much.
I’m considering doing something fun if I meet a 100$ goal on Ko-Fi alone. I don’t know what- can’t really brainstorm right now- but if such a thing happens I’d want to do something super special.
…………………………………………
Thank you all again for the support over these years- and the patience these past few months. I’m sorry for pretending everything’s been “Fine.” In the end, I know that such stubbornness doesn’t really help anyone. I hope that I can meet up and exceed my own hopes.
I love you all <3
One More Update
Posted 7 years agoHey everyone- you all probably know that I've been going through some things. While I don't believe in airing out "everything" that goes on in my life, the past few months have been enough that I needed to take some time off the internet, been all over the place in work and streams and chatting. And in general, been... more chugging along than anything else. Well, it's not "over" but it's definitely reached the major shifting point.
I've been struggling with dealing with issues from my youth and childhood that have left scars on how I think and act to this day. Improving day by day, week by week, facing things that I had hoped I'd never have to think about. But, the things I've said and mistakes I've made. Sometimes it's not enough. And a lot has changed these past months. Things that I thought I could always rely on, and trust to always be there. It's a sudden and intense change- but I guess that's what happens when you try to avoid thinking about who you *are.*
Naturally, it's affected my ability to create. But- I assure you all. That this is the temporary part. Once I'm more on my feet, I intend to take my pervy art to new heights. With new projects and returning old ones. Hopefully without the weights on my head I was trying to ignore. I want to thank you all- for helping me live the life I want to live. For being this opportunity to do what I love to do- and be able to get by on it. For always being a source of smiles, laughs, and heartwarming. You're all the best.
I'm still on the road to recovery, but... I'm hoping that the hardest is over. But regardless of if it is- It's time to think about a new future to strive for.

Mayternity is Here!
Posted 7 years agoHappy May everyone! It's another May! So you know what that means! It's Mayternity! And I can sit and draw this year!
So- what am I doing? Well, I announced it last week- I'm doing the "Fertility Shaman" series of sponsored pics.
Full details here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/27149695/
But essentially, the focus is on belly tattoos and backgrounds. Anyone can buy any spirit, element, animal, anything fantasy oriented- for 40$ and it will be drawn to lineart! Donations to my Ko-Fi add towards adding colour and finishing the background! (If you'd prefer paypal directly, note me) And I'll make an edit here- for 20$ at any stage of completion, lineart, flats, full painting- can buy a Size, Transformation, or other small edit to any piece \ovo/
https://ko-fi.com/alovera
Here's the first one I've completed of the starting three- The Orca Spirit!
https://imgur.com/jH3Y0Je
The Moon and Mountain sketches can be found on my Ko-Fi.
And now- something a little different but similar.
I want to practice patterns and tattoos- so I'm opening Belly-Art commissions!
https://imgur.com/0DNjDw3
Examples of composition- belly, upper torsos, face, and arms.
Essentially- for 50$ get a belly/bust pin up of any character (within my normal character restrictions) pregnant with some belly art! (The belly art need not be native or tribal inspired tattoos, but that's the focus)
And it will be given basic colouring, bit more than flats.
So- drop me a line if you're interested! Check out the previews on Ko-Fi. And I hope to make some pretty art on pretty bellies this year! :la:

Update!
Posted 7 years agoI'm not back to normal, in fact, may be starting to find a whole new "normal" schedule. And, while I'm not back to being online all the time- I will be online in the mornings for the next few days or weeks. Gonna be booting up streams occasionally, and plugging away at work.
So, what's been happening?
Some of my deep rooted psychological issues were reaching a fever pitch, and I needed help. Professional help. Digging around hidden traumas, and trying to break life long bad habits. And, I've been making progress, but it's one step at a time. As well, I've been increasingly concerned about my health; exasperated when I lost a family member to the condition I'm worried about. So, I'm looking into new health plans, to see if I can heal myself from this.
Essentially, a lot of emotional and physical healing has been going on. It's been hard, I've missed everyone, but it's what I needed.
And, hopefully continue on the path- and in a few days, weeks, or months- be better than ever.

Patreon Closing...
Posted 7 years agoHey hey peoples! This is more a shout out to my patrons that might not actually check patreon that often. But, I’m letting you all know regardless- I am closing down my patreon.
I haven’t been able to meet the amount of work I wanted to for it to the consistency I feel is professional. And so, I’m going to be shutting it down. Now, this isn’t “Forever.” I have some big plans on how I’m going to handle my comics and commissions, that will lead into a patreon reopening sometime later this year or so on. But for now, I’m closing my patreon’s doors in the next couple of days.
To my patrons, there’s one last goodie to enjoy.
Thank you for all the support over the years. And I look forward to bigger and better things. <3

Sabbatical Extension
Posted 7 years agoHey everyone, it’s been nearly two weeks since I decided to take a break from pretty much anything but posting and receiving commissions.
Been doing a lot of thinking, soul searching, life style changes- etc. And getting enough art done~ But, because of some more personal things, I feel the need to say I’m not going to be back any time soon. So there won’t be any streams, I won’t be on messengers, or responding as much to comments or notes. Unless they’re about commissions or I need a pick-me-up.
One of the larger decisions I’m making- shout out to my patrons- is that I’m closing my patreon. Going to be focusing on commissions for a while. Hopefully re-opening sometime later this year or someday.
Thank you all for the well wishes, and offers to talk about it. Even if I feel like I can’t talk about what I’m going through with anybody, knowing people care really gets me through each day.
You’re all wonderful, and I’ll be back when I’m back.

Taking a Break, Cleaning the Slate
Posted 7 years agoHey all. Some things have come up. A lot of personal business that I'm going to be giving time to figuring out. Making appointments, taking time off, that sort of thing. There's no health risks going on- just some personal stuff that's making me rethink a lot of my life. So, I'll be off of social messengers, not responding to as many comments, and not streaming- starting in the next few days.
Now, part of this is cleaning my current slate. Before I caught that really bad flu bug a few weeks back, I opened up for more valentines commissions. I'm afraid, that for ease of mind. I'm going to have to refuse those commissions. I'll be finishing up the commissions I have paid for, and sending them off of course.
Despite being more offline than usual, however, I will not be stopping my work. I will be opening some commission slots in coming days and focusing on them in between personal business. And still trying to post every day.
I hope not to worry everyone, and that everything goes smoothly. I don't know how long I'll be gone- could be a little while, could be a long long time.
You're all, such a huge support. Thank you all for everything.

Little Sick-
Posted 7 years agoSorry for the lack of activity- I seem to have caught some kind of flu or cold right after Valentines.
Difficulty focusing and so Valentines commissions have slowed down. I'll get to them as soon as I feel capable again!
Thanks so much for all the support everyone <3
