Behind with a few things.
Posted 3 years agoI'm sorry to report that things have been rather busy here lately. However, thank you to all who have watched and faved things here. Your support means a lot to me, and helps other artists that I have commissioned things from. So it is always nice to see new things here.
I will try to catch up with things when I'm able to, and add more here as I have it ready.

Twitch Feed
Posted 5 years agoDuring the past few weeks, I have been experimenting with a Twitch feed.
https://www.twitch.tv/arctic_ookami
While I do not have much to share currently, I have a few things planned for it eventually.
However, in the meantime, if one wants to watch me play games like BeamNG.drive, Rolling Line, Its Winter, Okami, etc, I might have a stream with such when possible.
A good friend of mine,
nuallan created some nice intro music and a nice sound that comes on when one follows or subscribes.
He has been making some cool music lately, so be sure to check out his page too.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Posted 6 years agoMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all here who celebrate!
I hope that everyone has good and safe holidays.
Take time to remember those who are having difficult times this Christmas as well, as though this is typically a nice time of year, not everyone is doing well.

Doing better
Posted 6 years agoIt seemed like things were not letting up here when I wrote my last journal.
But as of tonight, I can say that I'm doing better than I was. ^^
Thank you to all here who showed their support and helped in what ways you could. It means a lot to me. ^w^
Hopefully there won't be many times when I feel that worn out, but we'll see how things go.

Tired out.
Posted 6 years agoThough I do my best to create interesting things that hopefully someone will enjoy, I feel exhausted lately, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to do a good job.
I'm not leaving, and will continue to do my best here, but if things seem off when talking to me, it is because I am very tired.
Things should improve soon, but it won't be right away.
Thank you for understanding.
Arctic Ookami.

Snow in May
Posted 6 years agoThe other day here, there was a wintery mix with snow.
I had seen snow on the first day of May once, not too long ago.
But to see it on the second week was interesting. :)
It was too warm for it to accumulate, but it made for a unique evening here.

Not much new to write about.
Posted 6 years agoI'm going to update my journal here, as the last one is getting old. :)
Overall, not much new to write about, though I really appreciate the new watches, faves, and comments I have been getting here lately.
Your support keeps me going, and lets me know if something I work on is good or not.
I thank you all, it means a lot to me. ^^
What will come in the next few months will likely be more of the same. (I work on linearts as I find ones that interest me, and work on photos when I have time and have new ideas.) :)
But if there is anything different that I think should be mentioned, I will try to write about it here.
It has been rather chilly, windy, and damp here lately.
Yet, it typically only lasts for a few days before warming up again.
I'm prepared for such and like winter, so its no problem. :)
It has however made for interesting weather most days.
Otherwise though, not much new to write about here.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it
Posted 7 years agoIts Christmas Eve here in the US, so I thought it best to wish all here who celebrate it tonight, tomorrow, and in other parts of the world, in the coming weeks, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Here, I will be around, but will likely be busy at times.
If I have time, I will try to work on some linearts and photos, but we'll see how it goes.
Be safe out there, my friends, and hope that everyone has a good Christmas, New Years, and Winter Solstice.

Re-uploading some old art
Posted 7 years agoGoing to re-upload some old art from the past account that was created by friends or that I feel deserves to be seen again. So, if you see stuff that looks familiar, its just stuff of mine from years ago. Feel free to re-fave, or just fave if this is your first time seeing it.
Retro Weather Channel Local on the 8s
Posted 7 years agoRemember the 1990s?
If you watched The Weather Channel then, this might look familiar.
https://battaglia.ddns.net/twc/
However, a nice feature of this one is that it can be set for any city, not just the one you are in, which is good if you want to quickly see the forecast and radar for somewhere far away.
But more than anything its just for fun. :)

12 random facts about my fursona.
Posted 7 years agoFrom the journal of Phantom_Z_Fox.
12 random facts about my fursona.
1. There is no set time or place for Arctic. He is just as at home in Japan 30 or 300 years ago, as he is in the US, Eastern Europe, and other places.
2. Besides anthro and feral, he can also shift into the forms of a kitsune and aquatic okamisune, however, shifting is limited to 12 hours at a time.
3. He is based a bit off of Okami Amaterasu from Okami and Blanca from Shadow Hearts II, but is unique in his own ways as well.
4. He is basically gay, but doesn’t go around advertising it to everyone. Keeps things subtle, and only in private settings with those he knows well.
5. He can wear clothing, but in many settings hes in, its optional. :)
6. Though many settings have him in ancient Japan, he also loves the 80s.
7. It may not be obvious, but he is just at home running a railroad as he is protecting prefectures.
8. He has special abilities, but they are different from those that most superheroes have and are more natural in nature.
9. Though typically polite, kind, and gentle, he is not afraid to fight if he has to.
10. He doesn’t charge head on into a situation. Hes careful and puts safety first so that he hopefully minimizes his chance of getting hurt, even if he does end up running towards danger sometimes.
11. His eyes are always on the sky.
12. Though an arctic wolf, being out in bitter cold for hours will eventually start to affect him.
Well, thats it. Fill one of these out if you like.

Tokyo Live Camera Featuring Railways
Posted 7 years agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVGCfXUR_yc
10 tracks of rail action featuring a wide variety of trains including the Shinkasen trains and a monorail.
There is also a busy highway nearby, so one can sometimes see things like ambulances and road crews working in the area.
Can make for good long distance railfanning, if you like Japanese trains, or a good thing to run in the background if you like the sounds of a Japanese city. ^^

1000 Pageviews/4th of July
Posted 7 years agoWell, I seem to have reached a milestone here. :)
I would offer a prize, but I'm afraid I don't have much I can really give out currently. (Can work on linearts or take photos, but otherwise, I'm not real sure what to do.)
But a big thank you to all who have watched, faved, and looked at what I have created here.
Your support is much appreciated, as otherwise, these things I work on would probably not see the light of day.
As I always say, I'm not that great of an artist, but I always try to do my best to create things that have a good feel to them or at least look cool. :)
What will come in the new few months and years? I currently do not know, but I can say that I will always try to post things here that others will enjoy.
Happy 4th of July for all who celebrate it in the USA tomorrow.
Its looking like I might be seeing storms here tomorrow, so it will probably be some of nature's fireworks for me to watch. :) But I hope that its an enjoyable and safe day for everyone else.
