Hello, everyone!
So, for those who don't know, Twitter has been banned in my country for an undetermined amount of time. It could be a week, a month or it might never get lifted.
For as much as it annoys me, given the fact that a sizable amount of my audience (and therefore, my clients) had Twitter as its main contact, I'm grateful to be able to say that I have some lovely people across all my social media that keeps me going.

And don't worry, I am not going away so soon. In fact, not only all my social media are available on my Link.tree, but I also have some plans for the future!

First of all, I'll be opening a Tumblr account, mainly for previews. I know that place got nuked years ago, but it still can be worth a shot.
For now, my main sources of contact are:

- Of course, here in FA;
- Bluesky (you can follow me there, as I catch things up);
- Discord (But please, only message me if you're 18+);
- Telegram (Same as Discord);

Thank you all for your support!

Hello, everyone!
It's been a while since I've last done of these, huh? :D

To make things short, I've just been extremely busy these last year. I'm trying to juggle my commissions and personal projects like a proper job, and sometimes I have to delay any updates. But I'll be updating all my social media over the next few weeks, and I've decided to open with FA!

First things first, my social media AND my Patreon are now properly in my bio. They were kinda hidden, but now they're a bit easier to access.
Next, I'll be organizing the commissions tab in my bio, just so that my followers will also have an easier access to them, instead of me having to add everything, every single time.
And finally, but not least, I'll be updating my FA with the current commissions, PLUS some artworks that I've been delaying a bit, of fault of my own. I'm sorry for not posting them here as well!

Thank you so much for your understanding and for your support! I'll post these journals more often again, just to keep you folks up to date!

Hello! It's been a while, huh?

So, before I start the updates, lemme explain where I've been for the last three months.
For those who don't know, I'm planning on getting myself a second graduation, as well as moving countries, so things have been (and will continue to be, in a sense) pretty busy. Since my schedule was a bit all over the place, I had to choose between focusing on my English proficiency tests or focus or taking care of my social media. Suffice to say, the former won ^.^''

Now that I'm back, I'll be working on full steam, not only on the commissions and the comic, but also on some projects I kinda want to start. Especially since I'm kinda starting to enter an experimental phase when it comes to coloring, so you might expect some changes in textures, styles and things like that XD

Don't worry, they'll still have some high-quality beef to them!

As for commissions, I still need to finish the slots I grabbed when I was in the study, but I'll most definetly one more slots this month. And also, I'll be spam-posting here for a couple of days, to catch things up with the rest of my social media.

Thank you all for the patience and I hope to deliver in the future.

Hello! Sorry for being absent from FA.

First of all, where have I been, these last few months?
Well, the bad news is that my student exchange will probably take a couple more months for me to get it running. But the good news is that I'll be able to organize a lot of my long-term projects I've been working on.

The first of them: I've decided to open a Patreon!
Don't worry, the Patreon page isn't a paywall. Sure, there'll be some WIPs and sneek peeks only avaliable there, but the main bulk of my artworks and future things like animations will still be avaliable to the public a month after the Patreon posts.

For those who wish to give me a little help, the link is: patreon.com/baogacc

Second of all, about the commissions. Well, good news! I'll be opening more slots this week for the next two months! And also, I'll take this last week of March to post three/four more artworks from Twitter here. I'll be honest, I've been delaying them too much for no reason, and I'm sorry! >.<

But before I start the early posts on Patreon, I'll make sure to keep both Twitter and FA up to date with the commissions.

Thank you all for your support, and I hope I'm able to deliver more in the future!

Hello!

Owa damn! This year flew by so fast! >.<
Here are the updates for the last month, as well as some changes I'll be making in the future:

- For the commissions, I'll be opening more slots on the second half of December. Won't be near Christmas, but I think it'll be around the 20th or so. It'll depend on how the commissions will work. If I'm not able to open them until the 20th, I'll only open them at the start of the next year, just to give everyone (including myself), a holiday break.

Speaking of which, for the next couple of months, I'll still be opening the usual four slots per month, but I'll already warn you all beforehand that I'll be reducing the slots for a couple of months, since I'll be doing a student exchange in another country, and I really want to relax a bit.

- As for SUITING UP! I'll try and release at least three more pages until the end of the year. The current one is already in the lines part. I just need to find some time to work on it.

- And last, but not least, about Twitter. So, I don't think the website will just get Thanos-snapped, but just to be sure, I'll post my artwork, not only here and on Twitter, but also on Itaku and Cohost. I already have one, but I'll update this post as soon as I make both of them.

Good holidays to you all!
Baogacc.

Hello! It's been a while, huh?

So yeah, I've been very busy these last four months, and to be honest, I wasn't thinking on many updates noteworthy to put here. But now that my commissions are almost done, I feel like it's a good place as any to address the next steps I'll be taking:

- First, about the calendar. I know I'm four months short, but I'll try and catch up with some extra characters. After that, I'll probably open the last three months for a raffle, to celebrate my followers. It's still not confirmed, but I'll make sure to give you all a heads-up;

- As for SUITING UP!, I'll also be catching up with the fourth page onwards on the next month. I just have a couple of artworks that I'm almost finished that I'll be posting in the following weeks.

- And lastly, but not least, when am I opening more slots? Well, that's a bit easier to explain. I'll be opening more of them around the first two weeks of October. Still don't have an exact date, since that'll depend on how fast I finish the last commissions, but don't worry, it'll come then. Unfortunately, I'll be raising the prices a little bit in a couple of tiers. Especially the comic and reference sheet tiers. Those are taking way too long for me to finish for the price I'm charging.

Hope you are all doing good these last few months. I'll make sure to keep this journal rolling once more.

Baogacc.

Hello! So, here's the update journal for May of this year!

So, I'm almost done with the last commission batch I had, but I ended up getting so many requests for other commissions, that I'll have to tackle them first before opening more slots. So, for both May and June, I'll be working on my waiting list.

And also, I've finally decided on how I'm gonna tackle SUITING UP! (the comic):
- First, I'll be doing it in cell-shading (It'll be a great opportunity for me to practice :D
- And second, the pages will be released at the 10th and the 25th. This way, I'll have two weeks to find a free spot to work on them.

Of course, like, I said, if for some reason I get a two-page commission or something that would require a lot more time for me, I'll have to postpone my comic in a couple days. But for now, I'll try and keep up the dates at a consistent schedule.

Speaking of which, I know I'm behind schedule of posting some of my commissions (as well as the April calendar) here. Don't worry. I'll be posting them once a day starting tomorrow. :D



Thank you so much for your support

Hello! Here I am with another monthly update!

First of all, I'm sorry for not setting up another update. I've been a bit busy with the current commission batch and I'm having some personal life setups to make (most of them regarding some payments I'll have to make in the future), but other than that, I just didn't have much to say for this month. It was THAT slow.

BUT, regarding the next month, I have two new surpises to make!

First of all, I'll be making another livestream next Sunday, April 2nd, where I'll make the sketches for the two YCHs I'll be working on for the next months of the not-so-rumored-anymore hero calendar, in celebration of the 5k milestone on Twitter!

Second, but not least, I'll finally start updating all of the Stray Dogs's reference sheets. Those were made a year ago, and they aged...not very well. I've made a LOT of improvements and consolidated a lot of the character's styles. Especially regarding to Joel. So, expect some new reference sheets in the following months!

Don't worry, I'm doing fine. This month was just quite slow that I kinda stalled the update ^.^'

Baogacc.

Hello! As always, here are the news for February of 2022!

So, first things first, I'll be opening some commission slots in the following days! Before that, I would like to keep a few points clear:
- First, I have a TOS document, as well as a proper price list document, to keep things extra formal;
- Speaking of documents, instead of the whole "first come, first served" model I've been doing (which I think it's a bit unfair, since I have both FA and Twitter to manage), I've decided to add a form for the comissioneers to fill with their ideas. This way I can sort out both the slots AND the waiting list, plus it'll help me in the situations when I get two or more comics in a row. I tried doing that once and it ended up being too much of a strain on my arm.
- I'll be opening either six or seven slots. Enough for me to work at a comfortable pace for February AND March. So, if everything goes to plan, I'll be opening more slots in either April or May, depending on how many people are in my waiting list.

Well, I think that's it. You've all been very patient and supportive, so I wanted to keep things somewhat organized. :D

Next on the topics is the calendar! I know, I know, I posted Joel's on the very last day of January, but rest assured the second sketch is almost done, and should be posted on the following week.

And also, also. I have an extra topic I want to tackle for this month, and that is the stickers. I have some of the sketches ready, but I need some time to sit down and think on them a bit more. But the first sets should be finished by the end of the month.

Thanks for the support!

Hello! Well, this month was...a bit interesting.

I've been able to follow schedule for a bit, but right at the end of the month, my PC's power box stopped working, so I had to stay out of commission for a couple days, and since I was buying another one, I've decided to get myself a small upgrade, getting a SSD hard drive. Luckly, nothing of value was lost (aside from my brush configurations, of which, to be honest, I didn't have any), but just for good measure, I've sent most of my files to my Drive.

But anyways, here are the plans for 2022! This year was quite interesting. I've managed to get myself to a comfortable place when it comes to workflow, and I'm starting to move - very slowly - to improve myself. Since I'm planning of moving countries for the next few years, I intend to keep working on commissions full-time to cover up my expenses.

First of all, I have some good news! I'll open more slots for commissions in FEBRUARY! I dunno the exact date yet, since one of the commissions for this batch is a comic, but rest assured that I'll open enough slots for both February and March.

Second, I'll be starting my first project in January of 2022: The not-so-rumored hero calendar!
Yes, after joking about that one for quite some time, I'll be doing some pin-ups, using for reference those firefighter calendars, but with some hero characters, both mine, as well as some raffles, so look foward to that!

And last but not least, thank you all for supporting me this year. You really made me want to improve myself and motivated me to aim even higher to fulfil my objectives, as well as delivering the best I can for you!

Happy New Year

Hello! Here are the updates for December of 2021 (on the right date, this time :D)!

So, for the updates, I'm rushing to get some of my projects done before the start of the year, since I want to start some personal work in 2022, like the comic I've been planning. So, expect a few more commissions AND the stickers to be done by this month (I'm actually posting some previews on Twitter!)

As for the commissions, I'm still working on my waiting list. However, I should be able to open more public slots at January, maybe February, depending on the clients's replies, so stay tuned!

And I might work on a Christmas-themed artwork, if I have the time. I was commissioned to do another card by the wonderful , so look foward to that!

As for the monthly stream, this month's will be the last one of the year, since I want to spend the holidays just chilling. (EDIT: The stream was postponed to next Sunday, December 12th. I forgot I had a family dinner this Sunday.)


Thank you so much for all the support you've been giving me, and I hope I can deliver even more in 2022!
Happy Holidays!
Baogacc.

Hello! So, here are the updates for November/2021!

Sorry I didn't post the updates for this month. I've been having quite a busy month, and quite large commissions to do, so I didn't have the time (nor the energy) to make an update for last month. But for this month, I'll be having some news!

For commissions, I'm working on my waiting list first. I think it's best to work on all the commissioneers who wanted a slot for a while, before opening them to the public, rather than having to reserve slots and only opening one or two for everyone.

I'll try and finish the stickers and add some personal artworks in the meantime, but I'm still quite busy. Don't worry, I'll make sure to keep you all up to date.

Thanks for the patience!
Baogacc

Hello! Sorry for the little delay! Here are the updates for September of 2021

Well, this month has started with a lot of things to work on. I'm currently working on the commissions on my waiting list, was invited of working on a side-project (don't think I can mention anything more yet), and started working on some personal artworks, as well.

For the commissions, I'll have to delay the opening slots for November. I ended up getting enough people to message me to fill up another month of commissions, and I want to open my slots once my waiting list is gone.

As for the side-project, like I said, I don't think I can mention anything about it for now. But it's a project that will take a bit of my time, and I prefer to save some weeks to work on it, to avoid busting my wrist due to overworking.

And as for my personal projects, I'll probably work a bit more on Locke, to develop him as a character, work on some more Stray Dogs artworks, and maybe finish one of the many separate artworks I have on my folder. Now that I have Clip Studio Paint, I'll probably make a slow transition to it, just to test the waters.



As always, thank you so much for your support!
Baogacc

Sorry for the small delay, but here are the updates for August/2021!

So, for those who have followed me on Twitter, you know that I'm working on some general anatomy studies to raise my skill level a bit. From my calculations, it'll probably take a week or two before I resume working on some personal artworks, since there're still some points I'm struggling with.

Another thing that will happen for this month is that I'll start sending the revised commission prices for those on my waiting list. As much as I would like to keep the prices where they were, I'm thinking on moving to a new home soon, and I need a higher income, so I'll raise the prices a bit. Don't worry, I'll also add more options for different tiers, like half-body, waist-ups and avatars!

For August, until mid-September, I'll focus on the waiting list. But at the start of the next month, I'll release the revised price list for everyone, just to get things ready for when I actually open the slots. And for this time, I'll keep the price list on my profile (maybe even create a document for it), so you all can have a good grasp on it.

As for my hero project, I had to put it on hold because of the studies. I had the idea of making a month focused on a certain character, but that would end up taking too long, and the waiting list is already starting to pile up.

But for those who want more of the Stray Dogs, worry not. I didn't forget about them!

Thank you all for the support!
Baogacc.

Hello, there! So, here's the montly update for July of 2021!

These last few weeks have been quite difficult to work, since I got my first pair of glasses. Since my level of astigmatism was a bit too high, it's been rough to adapt to them. But as of writing this journal, it's only been a few days, and I'll be sure to give you all an update on Twitter.

As for the projects, the raffles ended up taking longer than I expected because of the eye situation, so I'm finishing the first place for Twitter, maybe next week. After that, I'll be having an off-list commission, and then resume on my personal work.

I said I would start my studies last month, but with the raffle and my eye issue, I'll have to move it to July.
But once the raffles and the commission are finished, I'll stay away from commission work for a month or two, and then resume it at September with an new price list.

Until then, take care.
Baogacc.

Hello! And now, for the montly update for June/2021!

First of all, happy Pride month for everyone! I hope you all have a fantastic month!

For the updates, I'll spend the first week or two working on the last prizes for the raffle, as well as an off-time commission. But in the meantime, I have some surprises!
I managed to finally get a new suit for Kai. I'll post it probably during this week. After two days trying to get his armor into a design I was satisfied with, I finally managed to make all the pieces fit somewhat well.

After I post this one, I'll host a few livestreams working on the next project: The Telegram stickers! Yes, I got into that train. :D
The first set will also be Kai's, alongside one or two extra artworks featuring him.

And maybe I'll also post some of my studies, in the meantime. This month, I'm focusing more on anatomy, so expect a lot of beffyness!


And last, but not least, thank you all for your support!
I didn't imagine the amount of entries, and most of all, the amount of nice messages I got from you all. You are beyond amazing! <3

Thank you!
Baogacc.

Hello! As always, here's the monthly update for May!


First of all, I'll spend the first days of the month working on the last commission. As always, my early calculations were a bit off, but hey, better take my time and work slow, than to bust my wrist again and stay inactive for a whole month.

And now, allow me to announce the results of the Twitter poll, and how things are going to work for the next few months:

- In first place (29,3%), we have Kai, as the winner! May will be the month I'll focus more on him, both for my studies, and for his character as a whole: Working on the redesign of his armor, doing some standalone artworks, sketches, his part of the Telegram stickers...I'll work as much as I can on any given character for the month.
- In second place (28,3%), we have Buster, who will have his spotlight moment in June! Just like Kai, he'll also go through a suit redesign. Although not to Kai's level.
- In third place (25,3%, we have Joel, who will have his spotlight in July (funny enough, since July is actually the month I'll have my birthday. ^^"").
- In fourth place (17,2%), we'll have August to focus on Cassius! I'm overall happy with his design, but I'll probably make one minor tweak, here and there.

Now, that doesn't mean I'll ONLY make artworks for my own characters. There'll be two major exeptions for that:
- One of them is the upcoming Raffle! Since I'm almost with 3k followers on Twitter, expect some major news in the following weeks!
- And of course, I'll have some other studies and projects with other characters and fanarts. They've been piling up for a while, and I'll have time to clear them a bit.

That also doesn't mean I'll only open my commissions in September onwards. If my waiting list gets too long, I'll take some time to work on them before that.
Plus, who knows what might happen, in the future! In overall, I was needing the break time for working on commissions, and get to study a bit more to raise my skill level.

I hope you enjoy what's to come!
Baogacc

Hello! As per tradition, here's the montly update for April!

So, I'll still be a bit busy this month, focusing on the commissions for the waiting list, but I'll try to squeeze in a few more things, like finishing Grigor's concept, and doing more livestreams.

By my early calculations, I'll finish all of the commissions at the end of the month. As for May onwards, I'm seriously thinking about what to do next...
First of all, I'll give an early idea of what to expect for them, in the future.


- After I take my break of a few months, I'll try to open my slots a bit more frequently. However, I'll work on fewer slots. Maybe four or five per time. Having a long list of commissions puts A LOT of tension on me, so I think it's best if I just get fewer slots, and take my time with each of them.
- The second point is that I'll be restrictiong the amount of comic commissions I'll get. Don't get me wrong, I love doing these. But having four-five comics in a bit complicated to juggle, especially since I had cases when I needed to extend the number of pages. I'll probably just make one or two comics per batch, just to make things a bit easier on my end.
- And finally, I'll remove and add some extra tiers on my price list. I'm getting a few questions about half-body vs full-body prices, and there're a lot of tiers that don't get much attention, like the lineart tier, so I'll be just remove them.

And for my last topic, I'll host another multi-plataform raffle, like I did with my first raffle, having winners for both Twitter and FA. I'm still thinking on the details, and I still have some time until I get to the 4000 followers milestone, so I'll get the details later.



Thank you so much for for everything, and take care!

Hello! So, as promised, I'll host a livestream on Picarto.

The exact date will be tomorrow, MARCH 19TH!
Since time zones can be a bit confusing, I won't give an exact time, but it'll start between 2-3 PM (EDT / GMT -4)
But don't worry. I'll make sure to give a heads-up on my Twitter for when I'm starting (https://twitter.com/baogacc)

For this first stream, I assume that half of it will be me being trying to configure my stream properly, since it's my first time doing it, at all.
The other half will be focused on some concept sketches for the fifth member of my hero team!
Of course, I'll be chatting with you all, in the meantime.


See you there!
Baogacc

Hello there! Here's the monthly update for March!

As I mentioned on the last journal, I'll focus this month on finishing the commissions on the list. By my early calculations, I'll probably finish them by the end of the month, maybe at the start of April.

After that, I'll take a few days of break, and then I'll start working on the small number of commissions from last year's waiting list. I can't give an ETA, since I'll try and take things a bit slower this time, to avoid busting my arm again.

And about the arm, don't worry. It's already healed. I still feel a bit sore at night, but I'm slowing my workflow a bit, after that. I should get back to doing some regular exercises to help with that, as well.

Finally, I have one final update: I'll be hosting a livestream on Picarto (well...at least, I'll try ^^''), so you guys can follow the concept for the fifth team member of the STRAY DOGS. I've recieved some interesting suggestions from my followers on Twitter, so it should be interesting to try some new possibilities.
The exact day will still be decided, but I'll let you guys know, beforehand.


It's been a slow month, and I thank you all for following me for almost a year (And of course, I'll have some surprises for you!)

Take care!
Baogacc

Hello! Here's the montly update for February!

Unfortunately, there's a major setback that I'm still dealing with, that ended up hitting my schedule hard since the start of the month.
I've been dealing with some frequent wrist and forearm pain these last few weeks. Probalby because I overworked myself these last few months, and now it's come to bite me.

I'll probably go to a doctor in the following weeks, but for now, I'm slowing my workflow a lot. I took a few weeks of rest and minimum wrist movement, and these last few days, I can start to work slowly.

For that, I'm sorry for my current commissioneers. I'll probably have to delay the commissions for a few weeks, meaning I'll most likely finish them at the end of March, maybe the start of April, depending on how the situation turns out. I'll make sure to keep you up to date. I'm still working, but at a much slower rate. I'm still keeping the commission list updated with the current progress, just so you know that I'm not going to radio silence mode for long.

That's mostly what I'll be dealing with, this month. I'm sorry if this was a short update, but that health issue really threw a wrench in my workflow.

Take care!
Baogacc.

Hello! First of all, happy Holidays and I wish a better 2021 for all of us.

Here's my monthly update, and a sneek peek for my plans for the new year:

COMMISSIONS: The first two~three months will be dedicated for me to finish all my commissions. Both the official ones and the waiting list. I want to get them all done before I start working on my personal projects. I won't open any other slots for a couple months, because I want to get this time to study in some areas I've been lacking a lot. I noticed that my skill level still need some upgrades, since I'll be raising the prices for my commissions. I'm still not sure about the exact amount, but it'll probably be between 10 and 20$.


PERSONAL PROJECTS: Starting from 2021, I'll start posting a lot more sketches for my own studies. I know there're a lot of people who like to see the ins and outs of the art process, so I thought it would be nice to share with you guys. Of course, I'll keep with my regular full paintings, but I'd like them to be a bit more polished.

Also, I've finally decided on the name for my hero project: The team will be called STRAY DOGS.
I'd like to explain the meaning of that name in a proper way, so I'll start working on a comic in the next year. It'll be a short story about how Joel and Buster met each other, and I've been planning on this one for a while.

Of course, I'll also be planning on posting more of them, inclunding some redesigns for Kai and Buster, and also the addition of the team's fifth member!
(Spoiler alert: I already showed him once, in one of the sketches I've posted on Twitter~ ;D)

Also, kudos to for reminding me to keep the team's artworks in a separate folder. I really forgot about how the gallery has grown.



And last, but not least. I'd like to thank each and every one of you who supported me throughout 2020. To be honest, I didn't know what to do with my life at the start of the year, and you all have been so supportive and friendly. I never thought that so many people would like what I do, and I'll keep working hard to continue delivering!


Thank you all, and Happy New Year!
Baogacc

Merry Xmas! Even though it's still November!

Anyways, first of all I'd like to thank you all for the 2k followers on Twitter and the +800 watches on FA. Never I thought that I would managed to get this far in less than a year. Seriously, I can't thank you enough. You are all the best.

I actually have an artwork to celebrate, but unfortunately, I won't be able to finish it before I open my commission slots at the 29th.

As for my commissions, I'll do something a bit different. Instead of opening some few slots, I'll keep my commissions open until I hit a certain cap, or until a week has passed. Whichever comes first. This way, I'll be able to give some chance for people who wanted to commission me, but never got the chance, due to time zones or just because they got filled up too fast.

Of course, I won't be working on them all at once. I'll take a week off during the holiday to recharge, and come back at the start of the year.


Thank you all for your support!

Hello! So, here are the news for this next month:

I needed to take a break for a couple days in October, because I got hit with a massive burnout after finishing the commissions, so I didn't have the time to work on personal projects as much as I wanted. However, I managed to get myself on tracks again. I'm working on two commissions on my waiting list, and on some personal projects. I wasn't able to finish the Halloween piece, but there's one last surprise for October coming soon!

Due to those delays, I'll be moving the commission slots to mid-November. For that, and because I know that the start of the month will be quite chaotic, due to the voting period, so I think it was for the best if I delay them a bit.

Thank you all for the support!
Baogacc.

Hello! Well, this month went by faster than the last one. Unfortunately, it wasn't for the best of reasons.

For those who didn't follow my Twitter, I got infected by COVID-19 at the start of the month, and stayed two weeks completely exausted due to the sickness. I wasn't able to draw at all. That, combined with the fact that some of my family members got hospitalized due to the infection, and things got really complicated.

But don't worry. Both my family members and I got through with no major complications. Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish all the commissions before the end of the month, like I wanted. So that's why I won't open any slots in October. I'll tackle the two or three commissions I have on my waiting list, but otherwise, I'll focus more on personal projects.

And on top of that, it's October! We have Kinktober, Orctober...Orcatober...Anyways, there're a lot of ideas going on this month. Unfortunately, I don't want to pressure myself with doing a drawing every single day. But I'll make sure to give my contributions for the occasion!

The next commission batch will open probably at the start of November, because at December, I'm planning of opening another raffle for Christmas. I'll make sure to keep you guys up to date.



Thank you all for your words of support. You guys really are the best.
