Character is playing laser tag in a laser tag arena and tries to "cheat" by leaning out a gap, only to get caught.

They are now stuck in a wall.

She ain't a furry, so she's up on my DA (with a png on my patreon) https://www.deviantart.com/bar1scor.....art/1150779636

SO!
Needle pulling threat.
There's not a lot of news on the convention circuit, other than conventions are harder than ever to get into. So I'm mostly just trying to find time in Michigan.
But in March, I've a spot for a 1 day convention-not-a-convention.
In Texas. The Antarctic Press Birthday Bash March 15th in San Antonio, TX, the home of AP.
Yes, Gold Digger, Ninja High School, an insane number of indy comics almost too many to bother naming, but you may remember titles like Furrlough and the like.
Well, plan is to drive down there and back. I've been itching for a long-haul road trip. I'll see you guys there.

On sale through.. Idunno. https://www.amazon.com/Sidearm-Sorc...../dp/B09P7RCZVZ
But it's an anthology, so that means a bunch of punchy stories just 99cents on Kindle!

Old paper got a bit of water damage. Not big, only about 10% of each sheet, but it was a stern reminder that I hadn't touched 18x24 sheets since college. So instead of throwing it all away I took the bristol & drawing paper to a local FedEx/Kinko's to recut it all into more easily handled 9x12 and 11x14s with scrap areas cut into 5x7s that I can draw 4x6 images on (Which is now what I do for badge designs. Why use 8x10 image area for an image that gets shrunk to 3.5 inches and used for a joke print?

Anyone else find themselves doing stuff like this?

>Be me.
>In the home stretch on Barbarian Babe Coloring Book.
>Realize I overplayed several pages in finale to get a decent cover.
>Realize I won't have an indicia page if I make and actual 80 pages in art
>I made about 5 8x10 images of highly detailed B&W cheesecake WASTE ART. I have to redo the ending to fit it all in 78 pages (39 drawings)Ir was... such a pain to draw all those scales on that Medusa Mummie's butt...

Run Guns.
Sell Drugs.
Nail sluts, and fuck the law (Fuck the law!)

Commissions-
Thinking of adding some YCHs and opening up some more right now- I'll be scanning in some poses and ideas in the next few days. I haven't tried to dip back into "March of Robots" but I do feel the urge to draw some cyberpunk.

Also maybe some quick-and-easy half-image YCHs for St Paddy's Day. Basic image of your character, wearing a derby or cheap felt top hat, maybe some of those silly glasses and light up necklaces, and a beer. Like, five slots. Comment here if you're interested.

NSFW? Not likely. Hell I've given up candy/chocolate/desserts, alcohol, and went nofap for Lent. Last thing I need is to try and brainstorm that.

Conventions-
April I plan on attending Motor City Furry Con... I'll try to get a spot in the Artists Alley if they're still doing it by raffles, but I don't have a dealer's table there.

After that I'm planning on heading out to East Coast Haunter's Convention in Philadelphia, April 25-28. That's just me having fun and doing a bus tour of haunts I wouldn't have the chance to see otherwise.

If you don't follow my instagram, that's where I usually toss up random wips, at least there's a signal that yeah, I am working on stuff. I'm actually 30 pages into my second coloring book, but the Barbarian Babes aren't coming along as quickly as the Halloween stuff did/does.

Made a new drawing, this will probably become 4x6 prints and laminated badges like you've seen me sell.

No, hear me out. I'm not upset, I'm impressed.
The audacity of slapping a watermark on what are clearly ai-generated furry images and then releasing those as "Adoptables" is astounding.
FA needs to allow gifs in journals.

Just sent in my payment, so I'll be in Chicago (Well, Rosemont/Shaumberg) May 19th-21rst.

I have no room confirmed as of yet, so if anyone else is attending and has crash space, I'm all ears.
I'm also doing my tazes right now, but I did finish the Fright Fall drawings.. I just haven't scanned any yet.

Haven't lined up any for the next year, aside form Bloodbash in Jackson, MI.
That said, I can't think of a single furcon now that I'd want to go to.
Holy heck is there a single convention on the scene that hasn't descended into drunken debauchery, diapers, drama and divorce?

Dear MCFC 2022 Attendees, An Open Letter
by Mcfc Posted on 6 hours, 9 minutes ago
To the Attendees of MCFC

Today we want to thank the vast majority of our attendees for making MCFC the amazing con it is. We appreciate your donations to our charity and we are overjoyed by the fun you have when here. This makes all the hard work over the year (5 months in this case) totally worth it.

However, we unfortunately have to address several issues that were brought to our attention by the hotel after the convention. We are lucky to have a good hotel team that is still willing to work with us and these problems are not irreparable, but these issues do need to be addressed. We have chosen to break these down and ask everyone who has attended to read through them. MCFC is your con as much as it is ours and some of these issues, whether you were part of the problem or not, will require all of us to fix.

The first part of this statement is a rather unpleasant topic. We were informed that in the late night hours the public bathrooms were left in varying states of unsanitary conditions by our attendees. The hotel noted that some guest rooms had sanitation issues as well. The hotel went as far as to describe the conditions as a “biohazard.” While it is the hotel’s responsibility to take care of the restrooms and clean the hotel rooms, this responsibility extends to “normal use” and the conditions present significantly exceeded that threshold.

Vomit in Public Bathrooms and Guest Rooms
MCFC is well known for providing a party atmosphere and we understand that there is a desire to go a bit harder partying seeing your friends once more. Getting a little drunk and partying has never been something we wanted to limit but this year there were reports of excessive cases of vomit left unreported and found by hotel staff in the public bathrooms. Several hotel rooms were also left in a poor state. Going forward, we ask that our attendees be more respectful of the hotel. Please watch your alcohol consumption. Take your time and manage yourselves and your friends, if necessary, so everyone can have a good time. We do know that the inevitable will happen on occasion, but the frequency with which it occurred this year was not acceptable. In the future, please try your best to clean up after yourselves, to the best of your ability, or offer assistance to the hotel staff, especially in your own rooms. That said, we intend to increase the frequency of safety sweeps, adjust some things in the Sponsors Lounge, and ask the hotel to keep track of any rooms that tend to be problematic and will act accordingly if needed. You may also be subject to additional cleaning fees for your room.

Leaving Public Bathrooms and Hotel Rooms in an Unsanitary Condition #2
We received reports of multiple occurrences of feces on public restroom walls and private room bathrooms in a manner that is inconsistent with illness or accidents. Some guest rooms had feces left on beds or in sheets. This behavior is unacceptable and we have encouraged the hotel to assess fees and keep track of what rooms may have been left in this condition. Accidents can happen, but please clean up after yourself, ESPECIALLY in your own room, and notify the hotel about the situation if needed. If they need to take care of that sort of issue, sooner is better than later.

ABDL/Adult Diapers
This is a subject that is quite volatile in the Furry community as of late and we want to begin by acknowledging that the ABDL community as a whole is filled with good people who know how to act properly and this section is to address the bad actors. We have reached out to the local community and asked them to talk to their members, but we want to implore the ABDL/Baby Fur community as a whole to work within themselves to address these shortcomings. There were reports of several instances of adult diapers left in public bathrooms, in stalls, on countertops and trash cans filled with them. We understand that wearing diapers is part of being in the ABDL community, but we are asking you to not leave these items in public spaces and to return to your rooms to deal with them. We also ask that, out of respect for the hotel staff, you double bag and dispose of them in a manner that requires minimum contact between the hotel staff and these items. If you need extra trash bags, please ask at the front desk. They would gladly supply you with extra rather than encounter a nasty surprise in the room.

Public Displays of Affection
The furry community has always been a rather affectionate group of people. Between consenting adults hugs, cuddles, kisses, or even a friendly squeeze of the butt are not uncommon. We respect this. However, we did have a few reports of people, shall we say, rounding 3rd base sliding for home. Please if you want to put on a show invite your friends back to the room but we ask you keep the PDA to appropriate levels for a hotel lobby/public spaces.

Sleeping in Lobby/Cars/Other
We understand hotel space is limited and we are working with the overflow hotels to offer more space. That being said, we had reports of people sleeping in public areas of the hotel, their cars, or locations other than an appropriate space. We can’t allow this to happen and we request you do your best to make sure you’re in a condition to drive home, make it to the overflow hotel, etc.

We are sorry to have to post this letter and take some of the joy away from an otherwise good experience of MCFC 2022. We ask for your understanding and cooperation in making improvements in these areas. If you see something going on that shouldn’t bring it to the attention of security staff. If it’s your friends please tell them to stop. We are a small staff and can’t do it alone. We appreciate your help in this matter. We appreciate your help in continuing to prove to our hotel what an awesome group of people we are that can outshine these troublesome complaints this year and put this in the past.

The MCFC Board of Directors

Something something, "limp-wristed rainbow apocalypse", 2 vindicated once again...

Wrapping up the last of Drawlloween 2021... hm, I think I forgot at least one image.
Okay, so I don't think I'll dive back into Drawlloween again- I may do Halloween images, but- I saw Retro Supply Co.'s FrightFall. Streamlined, and I think what I'll do is, inked, your character in a costume themed off the FrightFall prompts. https://www.facebook.com/OfficialRetroSupply

Nowhere near where I want to be on the next coloring book and the playing cards, or my next webcomic, but I will be doing some conventions.
Put in for conventions throughout Michigan. However, every state does their commie coof compliance differently, so it looks like I won't be going to most of the furry conventions anytime soon. More the better, I guess.

The only convention I can confirm so far is the Palladium Open House http://palladium-store.com/1001/pro.....e-Weekend.html

I'll try to whip up some YCHs over any other kind of commission, if I can think of some ideas, or dive into other theme months like those fantasy/rpg theme challenges or whatever. Meanwhile I need to work harder on my original fiction ideas.

For fun, I've been going to local indy pro wrestling events in my neck of the woods. Not like Furry Bowling in this area is happening anymore.

I don't suppose this time the coloring book will get any better traction- but I'm crowdfunding on IndieGogo (flex funding, will ship even if we don't reach goals.)

https://igg.me/at/DrAtavismsHalloween

I'm also adding individual pages for pay downloads on my deviantArt, and adding them (Slowly) free on my patreon.

New (non furry) image up on my DeviantArt account! https://www.deviantart.com/bar1scor.....ooth-869458485
Our cute, creepy clown girl has manned (er, womaned) the KILL-er... KISSING BOOTH (yea, that's the ticket...) at the Haunted Carnival's special off-season Valentine's Day weekend limited engagement! So come on over for the perfect date night, or alone! Step on up if you're brave enough and ask her to plant a big wet one on you! (Just don't get upset about the sponge in a bucket behind the counter. And *definitely* don't ask for tongue...)

If you like this piece, it's available for premium download as well as physical copies as a 4x6 print or 5x7 cards, all available through the DeviantArt store!

Planned convention appearances for 2021!

Nerdaggeddon, Lansing, MI, Feb. 12-14 https://www.facebook.com/chaosevents20

Grand Rapids Comic Con Spring Fling, Grand Rapids, MI, April 9-11 https://www.grcomiccon.com/

Frankenfest, Lansing, MI, July 10th https://www.frankenfest.com/lansing

PulpFest, Pittsburgh, PA, August 18-21rst https://www.pulpfest.com

I'll update and add more posts.

Look, you Michigan Furries, I know you've been pent up, without so much as a bowling night because of Big Gretch. WELL, That's why I bought a damn tent, I'll even be doing Art in the Parks with 20 feet so social f***ing distancing so you better be there! Why? Because when no hotel is a furry con, every public gathering must become a furry convention

https://www.patreon.com/posts/45005843 A public poll on my patreon, in case anyone's interested in input. I have 4 main ideas on where to go, these are projects that will be something I can sell, but also won't eat away too much energy from any "big-big" publishable work ideas I have going (Novels or Webcomics, etc.)

The ideas will all be of limited.. well okay, I have no plans for furry or were content (Maybe a werewolf bookmark to round out a "Universal Monsters" inspired set of bookmarks.).

*Sigh* as I work through these autographed editions of PitW book 2, being able to complete the current commissions listing is looking less and less likely. I'll likely be shifting back to YCHs and the like next year, just to keep things simple. Poses I can hammer out, put on sale, and then ink quickly. Not sure if I'll even do color works, as I need to focus digital editing time towards.. well, some story ideas, ideas that have been delayed for about 4 or more years.

So answer the poll if you're inclined? Do chainmail-clad bikini babes (Like this but less lewd and B&W to color in: https://www.hentai-foundry.com/pict.....ssy-Submission ) strike you as an illustrated book? Or should I continue the Dr Atavism's Horrible Halloween Haunt Coloring Book inertia? More of the Bookmarks like these: https://www.deviantart.com/bar1scor.....Muse-854053229 ? Or do a playing card deck of 26 images?

Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway

Guys I've got a table at a convention!
