hmm...

Felt it probably best to get the last journal off my page. The next Date Night auction will be launching in the next few days!

Hey folks,

So, been pondering an idea. I'll preface it by saying my current objective for doing commissions at all is that I'm trying to help a friend and colleague in dire need of help, namely the lead programmer on my game project. I've been toying with doing YCH's, but had another idea. What about a date night auction with Benji? Buy him for a night and get used/abused like in this pic: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29890536

I know a lot of folks don't particularly like auctions, but they're undeniably good earners for artists. The idea is I'd be doing these alongside regular commissions. Benji would be pretty tweakable to a degree, like bigger/smaller/buffer/slimmer, but always dominant, since that's kinda the character. Maybe powerbottoming in some way though.

Let me know what you guys think.

I'll be gradually uploading bits and bobs, new things and old things over the next few days/weeks.

I plan to open for commissions publicly again soon, once I build some confidence. Since I was posting regularly here last a lot's happened, but most notable is that I have the issue of chronic pain to work around. I have some options for managing it still to explore, but it's here to stay.

Personal and art just for fun are things I want to make sure I do more regularly. There was a time when art was a hobby and I enjoyed the balls off it, so hopefully I can find that again.

We hit 95% of the funding goal. It’s not 100%, but fuck it, I’m counting it. Carnal Souls is happening!

Three days and 20% remain for the Carnal Souls Indiegogo! You can read more about the plan forward here: https://www.carnalsouls.com/three-days-left

Spread the word, retweet and reblog, tell your friends, tell your grandma to let her bridge club know.

Also, Boosterpang will be streaming for us tomorrow at the usual time and place (check the link above for deets).

Hope everyone had a lovely holiday time and here's to an awesome new year!

Just got done making a long post about the parser and dictator systems! Some of you might remember a journal in which I meantioned the dictator, 2014 I think. Well, now you can see it in action and an explanation of what it does. :3

Short answer: It's gonna make scenes awesome.

Today we hit 70% funding, with 530 supporters! Cannot thank everyone enough <3 We're nearly there and still almost two weeks to go. Carnal Souls is gonna be awesome thanks to you guys <3

Tonight’s stream will be with Booster drawing some lovely big Marley boobs for the game. I’ll be sitting in on the stream chat to hang out and answer questions about the game as usual.

However, if you have any questions related to the recent staff change, please do not ask them in the stream chat. I would greatly appreciate if your questions were asked here on the site, so that the answers can remain in one place for everyone to see.

Everyone has been supportive and civil, for which I’m very thankful. I’m more than happy with the community we’re building. That being said, I don’t want anyone badmouthing Fenoxo or Gedan. I won’t tolerate anyone stirring up trouble when Booster’s being nice enough to stream some art for us. Let’s keep it civil and enjoy ourselves watching him draw some stonkin’ tiddies.

Stream is here: https://picarto.tv/CarnalSouls

There's been a change to Carnal Souls staff. If you've backed the project, I encourage you to read the following post:

Hi folks, just a little update to let everyone know we’re past the half-way mark, and we’ve also sold out of the Legendary Sword +5, Mythical Sword, AND Mythical Sword +5 tiers! Given that I’ve recieved a ton of messages through Indiegogo from people holding off to see more streams or until after Christmas, I’ve made second batches of those tiers at a slightly higher price. I’m not sure if we’ll be doing a third batch, but we’ll see how long these last.

We’ll also be doing another stream Saturday at around the same time, 8-9pm GMT, though this may well be later as we’ve been working long nights and have messed up sleep schedules. We’ll post the videos here for anyone that misses them. Thanks so much to everyone who’s pledged <3 If you can’t pledge, you can still help by spreading the word.

Until tomorrow!

I've been working away at commissions as best I can - it's my hope to get them all done before the end of the year and the IGG campaign. However, if you're hankering for some beefy dudes and girly boys right now, my Big Book of BNG: Boys Edition is now on sale at Fur Planet! http://furplanet.com/shop/item.aspx?itemid=832

Phew. Busiest year yet. Until next time!

It's taken a while, but we've finally launched the Indiegogo! It'll run until 31st of December, 11:59pm PST. :3

We just got the go-ahead from Indiegogo!

We’re just putting the finishing touches on the Indiegogo page and we’ll be able to launch sometime within the next 12 hours! The Indiegogo should run until December 31st – so we can start the new year (hopefully!) in full development mode.

I’ve made up lots of pretty forum badges for different account types, as well as some extra ones for contributors down the line, like writers and artists. I also roughed out one of the origin stories in full. There are ten origin stories planned out for now, but they’re just jobs and occupations – how you play the character is up to you.

IT’S HAPPENING

http://www.carnalsouls.com/

Apologies to my currently-waiting clients, I can't convey how busy I've been trying to juggle game development/planning/directing and also working on commissions. Now that the announcement's been made and the site's up and running for Carnal Souls, I'm going to refocus back on my art and get those commissions done.

You can check out the site and learn about the game here: http://www.carnalsouls.com/what-is-carnal-souls/

So yeah, more art on the way, and sincere apologies for the delay. Can't thank you all enough for your patience with commissions. <3

Emails are going out with links and stuff to download the digital versions and bonus content for those who backed the Indiegogo!

I'm more or less in the dark as to the details and process, but I've heard there have been some problems. We're having to verify each person's registration by hand (not the preferred choice, trust me) so it could take up to 24 hours to get it.

But if something looks like it's all gone wrong, please contact clubstripes@gmail.com. I don't handle any of the distribution or the Indiegogo stuff myself, so emailing me about it will just mean you'll be told the same thing. They should be able to help you out!

Hi folks,

We're still working on getting everything sorted so we can send out the PDF's. People have been asking for it, so I'd like to remind everyone that the estimated delivery for everything is August, as it said on the IndieGogo page. This includes the PDF, and while we're working to get that sent out as soon as possible, please have patience. It may not seem it, but we're ahead of schedule. Everyone will get all their goodies, you have my word. :3

The PDF is pretty much done, we're just waiting to hear back from some people before we can set up the distribution system. It won't be long now, and I will let everyone know with a journal/tweet when the PDF's are going out.

Thanks again to everyone who pledged and made it possible <3

Apologies for my clients currently waiting for their commissions. Been a bit of a month with some pain problems and family issues. I am getting back on track, and happily the book and everything with it is unaffected. I am attempting to keep the proceeds from the book kept aside so that I can use it to fund a month or so of working purely on my game, which I'll be able to do once all my current commissions are done. That will mean a short hiatus from commission work, but I'll be quietly building my game in the hopes of getting something playable together soon. :3

Thanks everyone for your patience, I really do appreciate it. <3

YOU GUYS DID IT <3

You are all beautiful wonderful individuals

First, thanks so much everyone who's pledged for the book, I can't believe it's doing so well. <3 There should definitely be a female/herm one to follow once this one's all done and shipped. I've also got a few more stretch goal ideas, which looks like I may need them, which blows my mind!

Still working on commissions, as much as I can. Long story short, old accident as a kid left me with a messed up hip. It hurts now and again, usually when it's super cold and/or damp, but it's been pretty much constant for a few weeks now. Seen two doctors already, got painkillers of all kinds, none of which work. Got another appointment tomorrow.

I'll either get it fixed or just nut up and deal with it, but I appreciate everyone's patience as it makes sitting and drawing a pretty difficult thing to do. Worry not though, even if it means getting put in traction for four weeks again (when I was a kid) I'll take my laptop and tablet and continue working in hospital. If it comes to that, which will be a last resort for sure. I do NOT want my first book project to get delayed, nor do I want to keep my commission clients waiting any longer than needed.


tl;dr : You are all awesome, Benji's body is crap, delayed commissions and sincere apologies <3

I got yer stretch goal right here. |3

I mean uh, yes. Indiegogo stretch goals! It's been a hectic month with conventions and such, so apologies on the delay for getting more rewards up on the IGG page. Both I and the folks at Club Stripes have been working hard to figure out something good for you, so here's the plan so far:

For each stretch goal (actual amount for the goal to be announced soon), I'll furnish a bonus section of the book with a brand new image and character bio plus an interview, using some questions I pick from you guys. :3 The first one will be for Orbitas, so that will include a new lewd image of the big malamutey dragon hybrid plus a page of information, a short bio, and the best questions I can get for him! Rather like a tumblr 'ask' thing but formatted more like an interview. :3 The bonus section will also be included in the PDF version and on the USB. :3

Here's some old work of him (I don't drwa enough of him ; ; )

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/898065/ By Meesh!
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2115265/ some brotherly love :9


Future goals will possibly include a bonus section for Janus, a slinky girly cat boy who has heretofore been solely on Club Stripes, one for Big Willy, Calvin, Mike, and of course, Griggle. :3


The goals themselves will be announced as soon as absolutely possible, I want to get some rewards up there for all you awesome folks who've made this possible <3 So, feel free to start posting your questions here for Orbitas! Be as lewd, funny or interesting as you can. You can also tweet them at me BenjiFoxy :3

Hi everyone!

The Indiegogo campaign for my all-male art book has begun! Containing art compiled from over five years of work for Club Stripes, as well as the possibility of new stretch goals and content if the campaign does well. :3 There's also a nifty, foxy USB drive option which will only be available to those who pledge, as well as digital download versions too.

My comic 'The Outing' is in there, as well as a follow-up series of images featuring Big Willy and Calvin meeting up for another round in the woods. :3

Please pledge and spread the word so we can get this made <3



As a side note, my game is still very much in development, and proceeds from this campaign will greatly help to support me while I work on making it awesome. Officially this campaign is purely for the book, but any money I can make from it is more time I can spend building my game. :3 The better this does, the more time I can devote to the game!


EDIT: Holy shit, just a day and a half in and we're at double the required funds to make the book. You guys are the fucking best. <3

Sorry for the slump lately, guys and gals and all between. Once the christmas stuff calms down here I'll be able to get back to it proper. I have some things I want to do besides commissions, most notably a celebration image for hitting 15,000 watchers! You guys are all the fucking best. <3

In the mean time, everyone have a lovely festive period, buy each other more than you can afford, spend time with those you care about most and MOST importantly eat until your heart explodes. MERRY SEASONS. <3
