INCOMING NSFW...
Posted 8 years agoHEYA soooo I think I've decided I'm going to post questionable/nsfw on here! So be prepared for sumsexy stuff of various calibers~~
I think I mostly had more apprehension with my "personal" characters that I made when I was younger/are more associated with me - so creating characters that are JUST for exploration of whatever has been, quite cathartic TBH haha.
So just a warning for anyone who would otherwise be alarmed! :>

Poll results!
Posted 9 years agoThanks to everyone who participated in my adopt poll!! I really appreciate it <3 and if you wanna vote, the link is in my last journal, I'll be checking the results this week later too :)
Basically it looks like CUTE, CHEAP adopts are prefered over others but only by a vote. It looks like there's a lot of interest for all types of adopts which is good news for me since my ADHD ass could never concentrate on one type of character/body/theme :D
I'm planning some cute adopts soon!

Poll for adopts! Tell me what you want!
Posted 9 years ago!!!
http://www.strawpoll.me/11813865
http://www.strawpoll.me/11813865
http://www.strawpoll.me/11813865
!!!
MULTIPLE CHOICES CAN BE SELECTED! Select as many choices you feel applies!
I'm trying to judge interest in adoptables, and what sort of adoptables people would be interested in! In the past I've done small and cute which sold really well, and feral which didn't sell at all. I wanna gauge interest in adopts vs, say, standard commissions!
What kind of traits do you like to see in your adoptables/what do you look for? I know this is a broad question but any input would be appreciated <3
Also, how much do you think is a fair price for a typical on-base adopt? How about a unique off-base adopt? I have seen anywhere from $5-$10, $20-$30, and up with adoptables.... I've been thinking 25 but is that too high? :P
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO POLL!! I'm really looking forward to the results!
HIATUS (update on life!)
Posted 9 years agoHello everyone and hello to all my new watchers!! I've been extremely busy with real life - sometimes it just gets you and pulls you in and doesn't let go. I mainly work a 9-5 job and until I can find a way to pay my bills with my art, that's just how it has to stay, unfortunately :P
I want to start uploading more often here, no matter how long I'm away I always feel like the community here is so warm and welcoming <3 I never feel like a burden on people here or scared to be myself!!! Thank you all for that!!! Mostly nowadays I've been uploading sketches and the occasional more finished piece to my Twitter, (a)bryn_alyn. For some reason I feel less pressure on that sort of site that it's very easy to post things without my usual overthinking/shitty guilt-trip feelings... but like I said above, I'm feeling that change slowly but surely. I feel safer to talk to people like I want to, instead of hiding away in fear of god knows what (really, I wish I knew where that fear came from but it's a mystery to me :/). Eventually I wanna make more friends and talk to people too!!
In that vein, if anyone wants to talk to me, I have a telegram! I'm brynalyn on telegram as well :) I'm terribly shy so forgive me for my distance, it's not personal and reflects my personal fears and also my severe ADHD which makes it so I forget convos and leave people hanging!!
Okay now that I have sufficiently rambled I think they about wraps it up! I'll be uploading more this week so I'm looking forward to that <3

Comic recommendations and advice for starting a comic! :)
Posted 9 years agoHi everyone! I've been thinking recently that I want to maybe work on starting a comic, and I'd like to get recommendations of comics you think are good art/storytelling/layout etc! I'd really like it if you maybe said what's attractive about it and why you read it and what it's strong points are.... I feel rather lost confused and lost about what style to use and how to go about it so, any input will greatly help me!!
Plus, I potentially get to read a bunch of super fun comics!! >:)
General comic-starting advice is also appreciated and if you would be excited to see certain things, please tell me!! :D

Request/opinions?
Posted 9 years agoSo I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this, since I'm having a really strange dilemma!
I did requests the other night, and I really enjoyed doing them. It was fun, no pressure, and I had a couple challenging critters that ended up being my favorites....
... but I do try to take commissions and, I didn't know if that detracts from potential commissions! This is such a weird conundrum because I don't want to undersell myself but at the same time, it seems really self-centered to care about the money (even if it's the money I need to feed and clothe myself...)
Basically, id really like to keep doing requests because I REALLY enjoy them, but I don't know if that's a good idea if I'm trying to be more "professional". I feel extremely dumb even worrying about it, haha. I've actually been considering maybe referring back to my tip jar when I open requests, in case anyone was inclined to throw money at me, not that they would be required to of course!! (Eesh I feel so weird talking about this, it really kicks up my anxiety n makes me feel so full of myself ughhh)
If anyone has any advice, I'd really like to hear it! Or input in general; I feel extremely lost on my path but I take a lot of enjoyment out of drawing for others.... yeah, anyways I've rambled enough hereeee :X

^link to examples!
I'd really like to get better/quicker/looser with my sketches so, I'd like to take some requests for practice! They won't be high quality and my main focus will be on ignoring my mistakes, as weird as that sounds I have a huge issue with getting hung up on all my little mistakes, and I'd really like to try and break out of that!
Will take any requests, feral, anthro, human, even like a little setting maybe?
*~*~BOOSTS/PROMOS APPRECIATED~*~*

NSFW opinions?
Posted 9 years agoI'd like to post my more explicit NSFW, but I wanted to gauge if any of you thought it would be a good idea? I feel kinda insecure about it and I do it pretty rarely :/ if I could handle multiple accounts, I would do it but I can't handle that really?
So, just asking opinions!! :) how do you feel about sfw artists occasionally posting naughtier things?

Thank you!
Posted 9 years agoI never personally thank followers, because I really don't remember to follow up on that (thanks severe ADHD!!) but I just wanted to shout out to all my new and old watchers!!
Thank you so much for watching me!!! I really appreciate every like, watch and comment I get <3 y'all are the real mvps!!!!! :D

Requests/suggestions?
Posted 9 years agoLooking for some drawing inspiration, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or requests? I'd like Pokemon, animals, animal fusions, and interesting ocs!
COMMISSION SLOTS OPEN! :)
Posted 9 years agoI've been on a drawing rampage with my new iPad, so I'll be opening FIVE (5) Wing-It Style Commissions!!
PRICE: $15 first slot, $10 for extra slots!
EXAMPLES HERE:
example 1
example 2
example 3
SLOTS:
1. Open
2. Open
3. Open
4. Open
5. Open
It's would be a finished pic with color/shading and a basic BG, the "wing-it" part refers to my tendencies to make a snap judgement on full-body vs chibi vs head-shot vs pin-up, but I spend equally as much time on each type (2-3 hours on average!!)
YOU CAN REQUEST if you want NSFW, full body, chibi, or something more specific! I don't mind working with those things in mind or catering to your specifics, within reason! :)
Comment/Note me if you're interested!
BOOSTS AND PROMOS HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!! :D

Posted 9 years agoDOES ANYONE EVER FEEL SCARED TO TALK TO LITERALLY ANYONE EVER OR RESPOND TO ANYTHING
because i constantly feel scared to like, make a personal connection with people?? Like I literally just don't know how. Its so fucking hard. I just, like, entirely shut down as soon as anyone makes a move remotely resembling niceness past a professional/socially accepted stranger level.
and the weird thing is, you wouldn't even know it from meeting or talking to me. I'm entirely an outgoing, friendly, talkative person. I've been a salesperson my entire time being in the work force, I'm very good at my job and a big part has to do with how good i am with people. I can talk with someone about deep things for a very long time and i genuinely enjoy it!!! But, its so weird, even if i had a really nice time talking to them, If i see the customer again (and this applies to everyone too, not just customers) and they try talking to me, or being personable in a deeper way, I entirely shut down and begin deflecting any move to befriend me. Not in mean ways but it happens every. single. time.
It's fucking wild and I don't get it. I just want to have friends, I want to make friends and talk to people! I want to share my life, and randomly talk to people and take up their time, and i want to draw fanart for people and draw characters and I just, Cant. I can fantasize literally all day long about it but i cannot convince myself to open up or talk to people. Even people who have definitely expressed an interest in being my friend, people I went to school with or met, we can hang out even!! But after that I'll experience such a huge amount of anxiety, stress and discomfort i literally feel like i am just god awful and I should not talk to them ever again.
WTF is wrong with me. Have I always been like this?? It doesn't even feel right venting about it, I should have just kept it in. I can't even properly talk about my feelings, I have no one to talk to. Probably because of abuse/trauma but still this fucking sucks. I don't even feel entirely comfortable talking to my SO about it because more often than not, he doesn't get it. Sometimes he actually takes it personally for some reason????? URGH I JUST DONT KNOW WHY I CANT TALK TO PEOPLE GFJDKSDFSJLG

Adoptables!! :3
Posted 9 years agoLife Update
Posted 9 years agoSo it's been pretty quiet on my front for a while, and that's because me and the BF just moved into a new house! This whole past month has been lots of moving and adjusting and I was also working heavier hours to pay for the move :) I might be opening some commissions soon, is there anything anyone would be interested in? I've had icon commissions suggested before but I wouldn't even know where to begin with the price.... @_@;; I suppose I would charge it at a typical hourly rate??? NOT SURE AHHH
I' mean at least now I feel like I'm in a stable enough environment to actually work on commissions! That's a first for me: I've always struggled with the fact that my home life was really unstable and not very good, my parents have always been very abusive and either from lack of motivation or from extentuating home life problems, I've never been able to regularly take commissions.... Let alone regularly draw.
I feel so super lucky for that all to change!!! It's so crazy that my life can turn around so differently. My BF is super amazing and I don't know what I would do without him.... Sorry for the long blurbs but I need to let it out, I don't have a safe spot to vent/talk and this is about as private and safe as I have right now.....

Almost 100!!
Posted 9 years agoOh man, I'm almost at 100 watchers!! I know that's not very many but I'm still super excited about it omg!!!! ;u;
I wanna do like, a raffle or a prize for when I hit it - I'm 6 watchers away, maybe I can do a sketch commission prize like in the style of my profile ID of Bryn!!
Any suggestions?? YEAHH! IT FEELS GOOD MAYNE!!
On a slightly different note, I feel so pumped right now.... I was away from social media stuff for a long time but honestly, it's been absolutely awesome to be meeting new people again, and trying to draw and improve again! I finally pulled myself out of a years long battle with mild depression that pretty much stopped all my art..... And it feels so much better now that I'm semi-regularly drawing and posting. Before I wasn't even drawing at all, and now I'm not only drawing, I'm actually FINISHING things!! It's such a huge improvement and I don't plan on stopping >:3c ILL KEEP IT UP!!! KYAAAAA!!!!! *anime poses dramatically lmao*

Hm!
Posted 9 years agoALRIGHT so, directed towards my watchers, do you think this submission-
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19592252/
-is main gallery quality, or should I put sketchy stuff in scraps? I don't have a preference and would put it in any category! I want my gallery to be busy and full and I want it to look good, and I don't know whether it's a good enough thing. What do y'all think??
I also don't know if a scrap will show in searches or how that works?? I guess I'm really confused about how people browse FA and look thru people's profiles, to be honest.
ANOTHER THING, does choosing the "gender" or "species" options change how the submissions show up in search? Does it do anything?
VERY CONFUSED @___@;;
