I never exactly left but with my tablet breaking down, taking forever to replace it, then taking forever to replace sai 2 and being stuck with the much more difficult and time consuming firealpaca (for me, I'm sure some of you love it, no offense to the program I'm just not skilled in it) I didn't feel able to draw much which was so very limiting. I can now get through my queue, the furbrush doesn't seem to have transferred perfectly but that's a not a big deal I can get that fixed.

So now on most days that I am home I will be drawing, especially until it warms up enough to go walking again. Though I have been avoiding drawing on shabbat for person reasons.

But I'm back and drawing so yee.

Last chance to get in the queue before prices go up. I've needed to up them for ages now. You have until a week from today to claim spots in queue at current prices.

Last years resolutions were kept small but can be found at the bottom of this one
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9728126/

Last year's:

1: get vaccinated: done and boosted and I hope yall do too

2: be kind to others: this ones harder to judge but I hope so

3: get a new tablet cord: lol! Yes I did...then a whole new tablet oof

4: lose weight (hardest one but this year I'll count it as a win if next new years im even half a pound lighter): nope I gained like 10 pounds. 178.8



New resolutions:

1: work on my ocd: any mild improvements would be good

2: be kind to others

3: get sai2 back or learn krista

4: lose weight

Recovering my art program to the nee tablet is taking longer then expected so I havent been able to draw again yet. Working on it but may be a while.

Good news: So, new tablet is here, but there are a few things before I get to the queue.

Bad news: There are issues retrieving my art program, they may make this taken longer.

Good news: I had a stash of art before this I never did get to uploading but had save to my phone so I'll get to work on them to have something posting while ya wait.

Bad news: The tablet was expensive, amazing deal for what it is, but expensive, it's been suggested to me in the past I'm underselling my art so to help with the price of the tablet there will be an increase to art price.

Good news: I will Not make this increase immediate. It will come with a warning and a chance to buy art at the current prices first. That chance is now, while the queue is long and has no guarantee whatsoever of when I will get it done, if you claim a spot in it now you secure the current prices for that art. I believe the increase will come on new years but it may vary based on the current queue and how long the art program problem takes to fix.


Current queue:

Aster:
Nursery rhyme:(unpaid) half colored

Rascal:
Mischief sticker: (paid) not started

This is my annual yom kipper journal asking for forgiveness for anything I've done to any of you (and if not possibly ways to make it up to you) and saying I forgive anything that has been done to me.
Any bad stuff is now a clean slate.

Yeee! I'm turning old. I mean...5...or..12...or 10...which fursona am I today? lol

I was gonna do a birthday stream but I still haven't replaced my tablet. I'll try to do a birthday voice call on the discord at some point. https://discord.gg/wveMpya7

Looking for one I can draw on the screen that is also a laptop...like microsoft surface pros..but..not that one...

So...problem...a few weeks ago my tablet screen popped up. I've been drawing on it since. It aggravated me so today I googled how to fix it...and basically found that I should NOT be turning that tablet on at all. It's a huge fire/explosion hazard. Sooooo...obviously art pause.

Art I currently owe:

Tanny: Yours just needs background..It has a stand in bg for now.

Shido: your birthday picture is likely just the sketch youve already seen or will be finished very late.

Aster: yours is missing eyes..design..shading...background..I sent you the file of what I have Im so sorry. If you want to back out of the picture I understand.

Rascal: still waiting on your info but it may take a long time to get gou that sticker. Yours is paid so if you want a refund I understand.

I will try to get my tablet replaced and get back to work as soon as I can though.

If I missed anyone else I owe art to please tell me.


If you are wondering how im posting art still its because I save it all to my phone because my phone has a keyboard and my tablet doesnt. So...easier typing. I have a stash to get through still. After that though..idk...hopefully by then my tablet will be replaced.

I ended up doing 7 drawings from the raffle so more then half (7 out of 12) of the people got drawn. I'll post them eventually. Maybe tonight...maybe

Livestreaming over in the cherubs server. 18 plus only (sfw just easier to moderate)
https://discord.gg/u8c7Mq2K

There will be a free art raffle sign ups are here. Please read the whole journal.
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9964361/

Okay so as promised moo a chance for free art on my stream sunday.

18 plus to join the stream (so sorry about the bonus entries moo for being present to those who cant join), but anyone may enter the raffle moo
Prizes are sketchs. I dont need to know anything about color...or backstory
My usual rules apply moo

First fill this out
Ref:
Character age:
Pose idea (simple props allowed, no furniture or complicatee props):
Outfit idea (if your character is over age 2 this cannot be diapers):
How many times does this journal say moo:

I will give you a number. Everyone in the stream moo at the time will also get a number. Then ill roll a random number generator.

I dont often post them here but ive been making a bunch and wondering if I should.

If I made a discord group to stream art in who would join?
(It might be 18 plus. My content is all family friendly and itd have a family friendly rule it's just easier to mod for an 18 plus group)

The streams would likely be random and would allow us to voice chat I'm them unlike picarto

It would also be a place we could all chat and such

So during the stream I ended up sketching everyone who sent me a ref I could use (to the one person who sent me a ref marked mature: send me a sfw ref I can open and you will still receive a sketch) I also quick sketched all of us drawing and that will be reuploaded with visual description, it was rush posted to get people to enter the raffle.
And everyone (except that one with the ref issue) who marked that they donated recieved a flat color because I had alot of time and not alot of refs.

Please note these were quick overtired scribbles, and not how I'd normally draw for commisions so major quality drop incoming just for these lol.

I will be uploading them over the course of the month as well as the rest of the pictures I've been hoarding (the rest are normal quality)

I also have a few pictures I've recieved recently from other artists I will be asking thier permission to post with visual descriptions so that may be incoming too.

Gemmy is doing a charity stream. At some point today I plan to join her (if picarto allows before 526 pm est, if not I promise to do 5 of these at a later date assuming five people or more enter following the rules.

It has to follow the rules of what I normally draw

Tell me if you donated to the charity. I dont need proof as I have no idea how to work this but...I assume yall can be trusted on the honor system when charity is involved.

Donaters get drawn automatically, everyone else gets raffle style.

I dont draw used diapers nor diapers at all on characters over the age of 2.

These will be sketches only,

Refs can be anything sfw: pictures, ref sheets, descriptions, ponytown, ponycreator, even dare I say it..secondlife


Please fill this out

Character name:
Character pronouns:
Character age:
Specific info I should know about them:
Any specifics youd like:
Did you donate?
What time am I stopping drawing at the latest? (To prove you read the journal fully)

So..I saw mention that this is maybe going to be a thing? I've been bothered by my account name for ages...but I've had it over a decade and some of you may no longer recognize me without it

I meant cub like a lion cub but the word cub is sometimes used in other ways in this fandom that I don't want to be connected with.

And amai and saphy are more me then ari..

On picarto I'm arisarts I kinda like that better then aricub problem is people keep calling me "aris" on picarto and aricub here..i prefer just ari..but really i prefer saphy.
Also thinking of seeing if I can get saphy as my username
Or tinyponyproductions

Thoughts?

For only the next 2 hours all one character sketches (no complicated bgs) will be just 2 dollars
(Background range from 1 to 5 extra, additional characters are 2 dollars each)
Must be claimed and have the info sent withing two hours of my posting this journal.

My normal rules of what I will and wont draw still apply.

I'm opening 6 different valentines day packages (opening 3 slots at a time) all far cheaper then my normal art.

Backgrounds addition $2 if detailed. Complicated characters 1 dollar extra.


Package 2/Single: $13 full color shaded valentines day themed one character with a simple background

Spreading the word

I was wrong. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't
