Only Commissioning Artists on Roomy/Discord
General | Posted 7 months agoHey there! I'm going to apologize in advance because this introduction and explanation is a bit lengthy.
I have ADHD. I take Ritalin to keep it under control when necessary but it doesn't cover every moment of every day, because I am happier without medication. As a result, I often buy commissions when I can't afford it, to the extent that I have more debt than I am comfortable with (to the tune of $10k). The fact is that commissions are one of the few things I can buy that makes me happy and feels worthwhile because I am supporting other creative people directly with my money. I tried to support artists via Patreon for a few years but my income is not stable enough. Some months I can't afford to support every one I want to and Patreon makes it impossible to compensate for that.
The problem is that a website like Bluesky or Furaffinity is a minefield for someone with poor impulse control, but for a long time those were the only places to commission artists. But I can't afford to keep doing commissions the way I used to. So Discord is my solution. You can reach me Diegeiros on Discord and I'll send you an invite to my server.
Now, I don't like Discord. The company is entirely profit-driven to the extent that they allow toxic and dangerous communities to proliferate on their platform while harassing users for more money. I have created a chat room using the open-source platform Roomy and if you, like me, are hoping to move away from Discord to a service that is operated and owned by the users and not a corporation, here's my private chat room: http://degs.chat
***Any artist who uses my Roomy server to solicit a commission from me will get a tip of 25%, if they allow for tipping. Any artist who solicits a commission from me via Discord will get a 15% tip.***
This channel will serve 3 purposes:
1) You will get a notification when I am actively looking to get a commission. This is the most basic purpose of this channel, but there are other aspects of this I'll elaborate on shortly.
2) I will post commission ideas here and artists can sign up to take on that commission idea if they are interested, when I am able to buy commissions
3) Accountability. I believe in fairness and transparency. Everyone I commission should know how much I am paying for art from other artists. And everyone deserves to be able to compare their work to what other artists offer.
***In the spirit of fairness and transparency, I will post weekly updates on my commissions***
***THESE UPDATES WILL INCLUDE ^^UPDATED^^ ESTIMATED DELIVERY TIME INCLUDING DELAYS. NO EXCEPTIONS.***
I only do this because I believe that most, if not all the artists I commission, undercharge for their work but that there is no incentive to be candid about how long it might take to deliver a commission.
***I HAVE NEVER AND WILL NEVER DECIDE ON WHO TO COMMISSION BASED ON TURNAROUND FOR COMMISSIONS***
I have waited literal years for art and the **only** reason I will ever, EVER be anything other than pleased with a commission is if I have to check in with an artist more than is expected, given those expectations are set beforehand.
As I mentioned before, I spend *most* of my disposable income on commissions because they are an immense source of joy for me. I am, said with no moral color implied, addicted to commissions and I'm not ashamed! I think it's a noble addiction. But like any addict, if I don't know when my next fix is coming, I will absolutely be anxious. And soothing that anxiety is as simple as checking in with me on the status of the commission should it take longer than anticipated.
***AS A MATTER OF FAIRNESS, ARTISTS WHO PORTRAY THEIR TURNAROUND TIME INACCURATELY ON A CONSISTENT BASIS WILL NOT BE TIPPED AND EVENTUALLY TURNED AWAY***

Came Back To Ask A Question
General | Posted 6 years agoMaybe this is just apophenia but does anyone else think there more hentai-influenced artists on this site than there used to be? I'm okay with it whether it's true or not, I'm just curious if it's just my misperception.
Where To Find My Creator
General | Posted 9 years agoSo, since FA seems to be operating sporadically and, perhaps more importantly, there is a lot of people leaving, you can follow my creator at http://twitter.com/teenmethuselah so hit him up there if you want to see more of me!
ISLAND #6
General | Posted 10 years agoIf you have a local comic book shop near you, please go there and buy/order issue #6 of ISLAND from Image Comics. It's the first time a mainstream comic has featured an openly furry comic.

Anodyne Transformations Pt II
General | Posted 10 years agoI have good news and I have bad news.
The good news is, the "recursive autofellatio" story is already in progress at my Tumblr! Here's Part One: http://anodyneprime.tumblr.com/post.....g-problem-pt-i
I'm definitely committing to updating it bi weekly at least, and it probably won't take long to finish.
Bad news: more people voted on the journal after I started working on the recursive autofellatio opening, and their votes pushed the "mass gain harness" story into the lead! I initially started the poll because I honestly didn't know which story I wanted to write but, as you can tell from the previous journal entry, I quickly developed more interest in the mass gain story as I wrote the summary. And given the increased interest from you, my readers, I feel a tug towards putting the autofellatio on hold while I switch stories. That being said, I've also already kicked off the other one and I should just try to retain the momentum I had, right? I mean, it's not like most of you didn't have the autofellatio story as your second choice anyway...
So, here's the deal; just comment on this journal saying whether I should keep going, or if I should switch stories completely. Or, alternatively, I could try to do a part for each one in turns, though that would make my life quite harder.
Also, make sure you're following me on Tumblr because I'm going to be doing something I think will be a lot of fun with this story, something I've been wanting to do for a while; I'm going to read my stories to you!

Anodyne Transformations
General | Posted 10 years agoI'd like to address a specific line of inquiry I recently got on my Tumblr [Check it out if you want to ask me questions directly: http://anodyneprime.tumblr.com/ask]. Essentially, they were curious about what happens when my collar malfunctions and I lose control of my body.
About 50% of the artwork you see of me is the direct result of such a situation, whether that be inflation, hyper, muscle expansion, whatever. That being said, a lot of it is not nearly extreme enough. I mean, when the collar comes off, anything is possible.
So with that in mind, there are three situations in particular that come to mind, and haven't yet really been addressed in the form of art, as they're maybe a bit extreme. I'll probably end up writing a journal for each of those mishaps, but I'd like to do an informal poll as to which one my fans would like to read first. Your choices are:
A) Recursive autofellatio - The collar suffered a short circuit, triggering a massive dump of a month's worth of pent up symbiote goo into my balls. Relieving myself didn't go the way I planned.
B) Cock transformation - During the development phase of the prototype collar, a lab intern unknowingly released the harness during a stimulation threshold phase. By the time they figured out what happened, the stimuli response feedback loop had exponentially consumed my entire form.
C) Mass gain harness - While the collar is a feat of engineering, it's still forcing my alien biology to do something it doesn't want to, which is conform to a normal sized, humanoid shape, as well as to repress its reproductive instincts. After so long, I have to undergo an embarrassing but necessary period of controlled enlargement, which is monitored by a clunkier harness. A byproduct of both the enlargement and the harness is a perpetual state of euphoria in which I often attempt to engage in my typical superhero activities, hampered by the periodic "release" intervals, which my discombobulated state usually forgets about.
D) Cock vore - One of the experiments conducted during the collar prototyping stage was an attempt to replicate my symbiote/human hybrid state. By inserting an experimental node into my reproductive structure, a feedback loop was created, which lead to the birth of a symbiote creature controlled by an AI! Unfortunately, it couldn't maintain its stability and I had to reabsorb it before it fell apart.
So, rank them according to which one you want to read first!

General | Posted 11 years agoCommissions On Hold
General | Posted 11 years agoFrom my owner,
sion_mekos
For the foreseeable future, I won't be buying commissions of Anodyne or any of my other characters. I've dug myself a pretty deep little hole of debt that'll take at least until the end of the summer to crawl out of. At least part of the problem has been, in fact, the rate at which I was buying art, so I'm asking that anyone who can spare any amount of money to help me at least have some degree of pocket change while I pay off my credit card, overdrafts, car insurance, car repairs, rent, utility payments and (most importantly) traffic tickets. I've been on FA since December 2005 and fairly active throughout and this is the first time I've ever asked for money so understand I take this request very seriously.
If I get any donations, I'll keep track of them in a journal on the :sion_mekos: account, and of course once I get out of the red, I'll be grateful for any suggestions or requests per future commissions, should any of the donors want to.
If you want to keep close tabs on me so that you know I'm not stealing your money, keep an eye on my Twitter, which I'm on nearly 24 hours a day. http://www.twitter.com/teenmethuselah
My paypal is incideus[at]yahoo.com if you're feeling generous.
My current plan, FYI, is to talk to my bank about arranging deferred payments on my debts. If they can't work with me on that, I'll have to sell my smartphone and possibly my TV so I can afford to pay my traffic ticket (technically, pay a lawyer to deal with my traffic ticket). THEN I'll have to figure out how to pay all that other stuff. It's not that I don't make enough money to eventually pay it all off, but it's all due at once and I just can't afford it all right now. If my bank decides to help me out, I'll still need your donations to cover smaller things like utilities (specifically the electric bill), credit card payments and overdrafts.
Thanks for humoring me and if you can't afford to help, thank you anyway for your support.

This is trouble. I probably shouldn't be here. I'm a good guy. That's why I have that plus or cross or whatever on my chest. And you just don't think of the "good guy" as the one who has pictures of himself all engorged and engaged in the kind of crazy stuff on display here.
How do I justify it? I guess it’s all about publicity. Putting a good spin on things. The way I see it, letting all of you enjoy this lovely smut (you freaks) will put it all in a more positive light. I mean, you’re enjoying it so even if I personally should be at least embarrassed (and I am), I can shrug and implicate all of you.
Did you ever see that movie, “Funny Games”? The remake’s not bad (Michael Pitt is amazing) but I recommend the original German flick. Anyway, it’s got the same basic motive for the kind of deranged activity contained within and one of the characters even breaks the fourth wall to bring the audience in on it. If you enjoy it, even if I think it’s wrong, why not?
I know my creator had a bunch of journals at his profile that went into more detail about me and my background and my alien nature and all that. If that’s what you’re interested in, I strongly recommend you go back to his profile. Everything from here on out is just me, mostly being sexually deranged. He’s got some written accounts of it too but it’s just not as fun as this, is it?
