Ok, found out there's a chance that I might be able to get a gaming laptop and be able to pay for it in 5 installments instead of all @ once; I'm waiting for Prime Day to see if I manage to get a good deal above that.

If that happens, that means I can stream @/better quality 🧵

That being said, been thinking about for a long time and these are things I'm hoping to stream a least weekly:

1) FFPW (the main idea, hopefully with a co-host)
2) Paladins/Killing Floor 2/Rocket League
3) Drawing

And once in a while, a variety game (also w/co-host).

1) Some of you already seen what I've done with Fire Pro Wrestling World, but I want to make it official as X-Verse (Cross-Verse) Dynamic Brawl Wrestling with all the characters I made/hosted and make an official show of it. https://youtu.be/NLjIvmZnTVw

2) Was thinking a multiplayer game because just to chill and talk about whatever and not freak out too much (unless playing Ranked... 🤬) and depending of the game, have people join in.

3) Drawing either commissions or personal stuff; enough said.

Oddly enough, I'm the most talkative when drawing, I noticed, mostly because I'm explaining my thought process in most cases.

And like I said, once in a while would like to play particular games (retro or recent) that been saving for a long while for when I have an audience; time will tell.

And if you have read all the way thru here, I would like to hear your thoughts.

These past months have been honestly horrid and I can't put on a happy face at the time being.

I'm extremely pressed for money to cover up for insurance and other stuff, and with no car at the moment to at least do drives, I've been severely limited.

Need to at least cover $500 for the end of the month.

I have slots available, info here https://www.furaffinity.net/view/8844875/

For anyone requesting from now until the end of the my, I'll be willing to take $5 off the original price.

And if anything, I also have a ko-fi available https://ko-fi.com/atmanryu

Thanks.

Just erasing some submissions, since long story short, I no longer want to be associated with them.

They were kind of old, so not like they'd be missed or something.

I'll be running Pay What You Want Streams tonight and tomorrow, as often as possible.

Will be going for fast sketches and seeing how far I can go in said two days.

Well, went ahead and added the shinies feature FA added a few days back. Let's see how that works out at the end...

Ok, honestly fed up with arguing to myself about whether to go to #FWA2019 or not, so I decided to do a logical approach and write down the pros and cons to compare.

Reasons to go to FWA:
• One (known) friend is attending. (Note: said friend is local, so it’s not like I could organize a visit under normal circumstances…)
- Will be busy at Artist’s Alley, so it wouldn’t be fair to aggravate him during work

Reasons to NOT go to FWA:
• Too expensive to go one day, yet hard to justify going 4 days of the facts pointed below
• No Badge
• No Fursuit
- Not even a partial
• No panels of interest
• Not interested in dances
• Not interested in Mystery Skulls
• Always wanted to try Escape Rooms, but again those are best experienced with FRIENDS; not crazy enough to attempt to do it with total strangers
• No portfolio/prints/Business cards/other material required to be at Artist’s Alley
• No money and time to gather all of these on time
• Meet-Ups are minefields as it is…
• If going just to play videogames, I’m better off going to a Dave n’ Buster’s…
• Same with board games
• WORST place to MAKE friends
• If going to be alone at a crowded place, I can just lock myself in the library room for free for the same experience

...Unless anyone gives me a proper counterargument, I guess the choice is obvious...

I know I'm just wasting nmy time by this point, but gotta try at least:

Who's going to Furry Weekend Atlanta this weekend?

I just gotta make up my mind...

Ok, things not working out as I hope for, a again opening 10 color slots to cover up for this month's insurance to gather before the end of this month.

Can note me for details.

Would like to have a heads up towards this coming month's insurance, plus additional expenses, and cleared most of the queue from last month.

Will let me get used to working everything on Clip Studio Paint as well.

That said, I'm opening slots for B/W and Color commissions to work throughout April.

You can note me, contact me via Twitter/Telegram/Discord as well. (AtmanRyu in all of them).

Will most likely be working on stream, but definitely working offline as well. You can also keep track of my workflow via here: https://trello.com/b/IRGjXort/commissions-workflow

Opening 8 slots starting this weekend and forward for pencils drawings, $25/$35 (simple/detailed single char) to cover expenses for the remainder of the month.

Will most likely be working on stream, but definitely working offline as well.

Can send notes for details.

Hello there.

Since released from the last operation back in early October, my health has been improving quite a bit, mostly not feeling as tired as I was before and less issues. Sure, still having the occasional hiccup here and there (had to go to the hospital today due to a clogged catheter...), but back to spirits and being able to work at a decent pace, and getting back to my original stride.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm ok to open commissions properly.

Some of you may noticed I have made changes to the prices ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8844875/ ); said prices were reviewed by several people, plus a reflection on the efforts I've made to get to a point I can be more productive.

However, I'm running like at 75% efficiency (still having bathroom emergencies that might keep me from working prolonged periods of time), so for the time being things like sequences and comics may be put on hold until further notice; single images are good to go however.

Also you can always tip me some coffee at http://ko-fi.com/atmanryu ; I appreciate your support.

That being said, will aim for now for more frequent stream at more convenient hours.

Thank you for your understanding and moral support.

Well, at this point seems Dwaggie will be the obvious choice, and since still at the hospital hooked to a bunch of cables and stuff, the least I can do is write.

I already have some ideas brewing, but I wouldn't mind some help here.

If you got some specific questions/topics you'd like Dwaggie to tackle with, do me a favor and note me those as to keep it as a matter of surprise. I may use them as long as they they're not overly inappropriate.

Being stuck in a hospital bed for days has made my mind wander and hope to realize doing something positive.

I haven't got the change to practice making visual novels yet and the thought came to start practicing with a 1 on 1 chat with an OC of mine.

Nothing fancy, just enough to get to know the OC better and give a sense of a conversation flow instead of a text dump. Also if possible, to make things interesting (i.e. add interactivity), the pools of questions available will vary depending whether the OC finds the questions/options interesting, pleasing or rude.

Of course, to begin working on this I'd need an initial set of questions, from which I can work my way down from there.

But before I even get into this, I need to choose which OC to use; that's where I need some help.

The options are:

1) Sylvester "Sly" Hartwell (Breakdancer/"Rhythmmancer")

2) Terry Nova (Heroic wrestler with ninja training)

3) Dwight "Dwaggie" Kurita (Toon Mute Dragon - Don't worry, he can ASL, thought the software will translate it to you) https://t.co/XkIgrdUC2M

That being said, if interested in the idea, which one you'd like to see?

Any input is appreciated.

After all these years, I’ll be opening up an Instagram account.

Never occured to me to do it earlier, since I’m not that fond of posting photos like crazy.

Regardless, gonna be posting my drawings and such.

Here it is:

I believe I'm able enough to work on things.

Currently available for commissions. Can note me for details.

Really hate feeling useless and inactive for these past two months...

And fully aware I'm the only one who can fix this situation, but something keeps me from remedying this...

Three catheter CHANGES (and a CYSTOURETHROSCOPY to boot) in less than two months...

That amount of pain is unbearable.

And yeah, back in the hospital, horray... -_-

Gonna try working on streams again, starting tonight.

And yeah, reopening commissions, since this is going to be my main source of income for some time, until something changes or go the extra step as a matter of speak.

However, I'm more than likely be sketching random stuff as a warm up, at least tonight, before I do some commitments.

Thank you for understanding.

Sorry if I haven't been active for the past month.

Still trying to get to a point in which I'm not crippled by pain and be able to work on this, but far from it. Still hurts to cough or laugh, but at least better than I was a month ago.

I honestly want to get back in track, since I need to have income coming.

Should update you when I can get back on track.

Hi.

The surgery on Thursday morning went well, but was excruciatingly long (+12 hours!). As expected lost a huge chunk of the bladder and most of the abdominal muscles, alongside with the affected colon, but at least still have the bladder, so thanks to the surgeons and the powers above who made it happen.

Now it's a matter of recovery, which is gonna be another long trek...

But getting there.

I'm hours away from surgery. I'll be turning off cellphone by then. Updates will come eventually.

See ya.

Well, after having meetings with the surgeons involved, it was certainly confirmed that I'll be having surgery to finally remove the afformentioned tumor on March 8. I'll be losing a big chunk of the colon, bladder and abdominal muscles in the process also, but that was unavoidable at this point (it could've been a LOT worse back then, hence why I was on treatment first). Meaning that after operation I might be hospitalized for a while, just to make sure no complications appear.

That being said, this time I don't just want to be lying down all of those days, so I'll arrange to bring my stuff with me and try to get online to work on streams and such, since the income would help a lot.

Keyword TRY; I have no idea how I'll be coming out of said surgery to guarantee anything.

I will try to and updates however.

I won't lie though: I'm kind of nervous, since well aware life changes WILL happen after this surgery.

Just a friendly reminder that I'm open for commissions for the time being; I normally let people know otherwise.

Also to those whose pics I sent via Dropbox, make sure you have those files saved, since I'll be emptying that folder soon.

Just a reminder that I'm open for commissions. Somewhat short for these two weeks, so want to make up for it as I know I can. And yes, doing my best to complete them before the end of the year.

Also my Ko-Fi is available if unable to request something. Again, thank you.

Ok, opening slots for commissions.

Come and get 'em!
