I had stopped doing bigger projects for a while to focus on the basics of sketching and drawing stuff right as well as to work on organization and deal with some irl issues.

Well, I'm happy to say that's now over c:
Commissions queue will now resume, and you can enter it by sending me a note here, messaging me on discord or whatever other way you find of talking to the cacuu.

More information and queue here:
https://cacuu.notion.site/Commissio.....e44edeb84dffc3

Hey, I opened some comm slots for next week. Will close the form sometime around tomorrow night. If you've been looking forwards to commissioning me, now's a good chance c:
More info here:
https://forms.gle/5z6LyYsghFfTA6yN8

Hey, you guys probably saw the arts I've been doing here for a while now. I'm now opening a form for commissions! You can find it here:
Form for December commissions
I'll be picking from this form every week to do my arts. So if you have an idea that you want me to do, here you go!
I plan on doing around 10 to 12 sketches this month, plus a few paintings and upgrades to sketches.
The painting slots are already booked since I am clearing the backlog from my old queue before fully switching to this format, but they will be available in the forms eventually, too!

Feel free to ask me questions here and I'll do my best to answer, too!

You probably saw a bunch of submissions from me. Sorry for the spam :P
I'll try to get back to posting my stuff online. I scheduled a good lot of old art but I wanted to get the really old ones out of the way so we can get to the cool stuff faster.
I should post 3 pictures a day from here on out until we catch up to present.

I stream on twitch most days. Right now, I'll be painting a picture for :fatheonlyskywoof:.
My stream is usually up MON, TUE, FRI and SAT. If you want to see some fluff happen; that might be the place!

https://twitch.tv/cacuudraws

You probably seen a bazillion of em by now.
If you're wondering where they're coming from, I do one a day on my stream at http://twitch.tv/cacuudraws (and more on friday!) If you want one, drop by on my discord at https://discord.gg/S2pTnqC . You'll also get to see when cacuu is live next :D

Hey, I recently started using twitter more and like, have not a whole lot of followers there.
If you guys use twitter, I made a raffle there for some sketches! Would appreciate a lot if you could give me a hand!

Link to raffle:
https://twitter.com/CacuuArt/status.....41021923250176

Anyways, Thanks and good luck!

PS: might do something here when we hit 1.5k too!

Hey, Ive been inactive here for a good while. I've been doing art in the meantime, just was drained socially and decided to take a break.

I'll post, over the course of the next few weeks, some of the works I did in the meantime (it was a lot of stuff!)

I've also started streaming daily on twitch.tv/cacuudraws. hop on for some dorky chat and possibly piles of sergals!

Thanks yall for following me, though; it's crazy to think theres so many of you now :O I might do another raffle soon!

Hey people! Long time no see! It's been crazy these last few months. Life just doesn't seem to want to give me a break, so I am going to get back in action without one anyways.
As I type this, my kitchen is under renovations. So that's... fun. Like, coffee made with microwaved water kind of fun.

But this isn't about that. After all, That's not even in the title!

I've wanted to do this for a long time, and finally worked up courage to announce it:

Trick or Treat! A Halloween event throughout October!

If you think this means cute girls and fellas in costumes, you are absolutely right! In fact, I got one for you right here, as an example:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/33255539/

Interested? Good! here's how the event will go down:

There will be 13 slots. 13 is a good number for this.
Each slot is a flat 75 USD.

I can ask for a little more if your character is too complex for me to do in the timeframe I have allotted for each picture, but for the great majority of the characters, this is the asking price.

All pictures will be SFW.

Can be risque. In fact, I don't mind that at all, but keep the dongs and the vagenes in check.

Before you boo me for it, I am currently in a situation where I don't have too much privacy and I would rather not have people watch me draw porn haha.

The characters will be wearing a costume and out for trick or treating. The costume, character and general situation is up to you, though I am always up to help you decide on an idea, if you need a little push.

The process will be as follows: 3 pictures every week. with sketches happening first: You will get a choice between (usually) 4 sketches and we can negotiate the idea in more detail in the first 2 days of the week, and in the other 3 I will work on rendering each piece individually. If needed, I'll extend the rendering time over into the weekend, though it's not part of the original plan. I have worked in tighter schedules than this, so this leeway will let me bring out a higher quality of art, when compared to previous events, as well as have time to deal with any issues that may occur during the work.

To claim a slot, Send me a note here in FA or message me in your favorite social media in which you know where I am. I prefer to talk and do business over discord, but anywhere will do, so long as I can get reasonably fast replies from you.

Sorry for the tight time window! I wanted to put this out a little earlier, but I was not able to do so because of how busy things were here at home. If it so happens that a slot goes unclaimed, I will do a personal character or fanart. I dunno.


Thanks for reading! I hope you all enjoy it!

Week 1: 1st to the 5th

1:Sorakasergal
2:TheHyperblast

Week 2: 6th to the 12th

Hey!
After finishing (well, mostly finishing) Vaganuary, I felt some rest was needed, so I took a week off drawing, let my arm rest and all that stuff.

Now that that's done, From this month onwards I'll be opening a few speedpaint slots every month. The advantage to those is that they will be done somewhere in the month they are announced on.

I will still work on my queue work, which, by the way, is now public here: https://trello.com/b/WiicvhDW/cacuus-commissions (it makes things easier. :P)

I will be opening three slots only this month, for two reasons: I had already accepted some speedpaints before I decided on this format and I don't have the entire month to work with; plus I am still getting my schedule back in order.

The slots are as follows:
Couples: Tialdo and Draekon
Solo 1: ladyArendale
Solo 2: Magni

1x Valentines day couple slot (110 usd) - to be finished in week 2
This one will be done before the 14th.

Here are a few theme ideas for it:
Spooning,
Hugging from behind,
Nuzzling under chin,
Kiss,
Movie date,
Matching outfits,
Riding on shoulders.
You can also submit your own idea (though it can be declined.)

2x standard speedpaint slot (80 usd) - to be finished in weeks 3 and 4
Single character, can feature actions, poses, outfits and whatever else you can imagine. I will keep the background light and the focus on the character, though.

Some Ideas:

SFW
Looking up at camera curiously;
Valentines: Bringing chocolates to a lover;
Under the rain, with umbrella, moody;
Eating ice cream. Yum;
Posing with new outfit;
Sprawled on back with arms outspread in the grass;
Ready to pounce!
Going to school;
Using cellphone;
Finished workout;
Licking a lollipop innocently. Or "Innocently".

NSFW (Feminine)
Trying out new lingerie;
Striking out sexy pose;
One leg raised, camera from below, gazing down at viewer;
Cupping one breast, bedroom eyes towards viewer;
"Showing the goods"
Leaning on something, raising up backside;
Sitting with legs casually spread;
Submissive with a leash.

I am honestly better at coming up with ideas for women; as thats what I've drawn for the most part, haha. But if you have a male character, feel free to submit one if these don't appeal to you.



I'll be writing a few theme ideas to spark some imagination on you guys along with these slots. Feel free to ignore them if none of them appeal to you. I will also only draw each concept once.
You get to pick the concept of the picture, I get to choose the posing and camera (though I will offer you a few alternatives to pick from). I find that working like this helps to create more appealing and natural pictures.

As I had some trouble with some Vaganuary pics where the commissioner wasn't around; I will require you to be either on stream or available via discord for these. You don't have to be actively waiting/watching, just available so I can discuss ideas and show you some sketch options, as well as correct mistakes as I work.

These will be done over two days (though most of the heavy work will be done on the first), but can take longer if I feel there's a need for it.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment here or note me.

To claim a slot eithernote me here at FA or PM me at discord if you have my info. (if you don't, feel free to note me about it)

Thats all! I will be posting the last Vaganuary pics soon.
Thanks everyone ~Cacuu.

Congratulations to:
 Athiesh (2nd)
and
 Elader (8th)


... yes. Elader won again. Dunno; She should try to play on the Lotto one of these days :P

I updated the Journal with that information.

Thanks everyone who participated! The event was a lot of fun! I got a -massive- amount of watchers over the last month thanks to it. It's crazy. (was somewhere around 180 watchers)

And, at the time of writing, I am two away from 1k.
... Does that mean I get to join the four digits club?

Anyways, that's all!
Thanks for all the support, y'all. You are amazing~!

Vaganuary - It's That time of the year again!

Vaganuary is an iron artist challenge, flavored towards Pin ups:

This is a challenge created by  furlana
It consists on doing a series of consecutive female pinups over january. (I swear next year I will join in for Dickember as well)

I improved a lot since last year; It's time to show it!

The only difference between this and last year's is that I will not work during weekends this time around, as I was really really spent after I went through all 31. I don't want to put my wrist into that much strain again.

---

So how will this work?

The artwork will be similar to my speedpaints. Simple background, complete focus on the character.
Check the gallery folder "Speedpaints" for examples.

The entire process, from start to finish will be streamed starting at 1pm BRST. While not required, it is greatly recommended that you join in the stream to be able to give me input while I work. If you arent able to be on stream, but are available via DM on discord or telegram, we can work that way as well.

you can access my stream here: http://picarto.tv/cacuu

I will do a final round of revisions in the morning of the day after. So at the end of the stream, let me know if you think something is off or needs to be changed. This will be the standard practice for speedpaints from now onwards.

The price for each slot will be $65 USD (discounted from 80)

By the end, on the 31th, I'll do a FREE 2 characters piece raffled between the participants.

Reserving your slot:

Leave a comment here with:
- date you'd like to claim
- reference
- pick one: SFW / ARTISTIC NUDITY / NSFW (adult content)
- Any additional information about your character you may desire to add, about the pose or any noteworthy points of the character you want done right (like breast size certain facial features, for instance.

I will send you a note (or a message over discord) confirming your slot and asking for contact information. Other than that, I prefer to work over discord: It's free and allows for much faster communication between us, which results in a better picture overall.

Please try to pick a day at which you will be available.

I'll send the invoices in batches per week.Each invoice should be paid in up to a week from the date it was sent, or your slot will be forfeit.

I am willing to offer refunds to any piece that hasn't been started already, but keep in mind that doing so will likely leave a hole I cant fill in the schedule. So only claim a slot if you are sure you can follow through.

That's all. Thanks again everyone for your support last year!

So: I've been practicing my speedpaints for a while and I think I have gotten pretty good at them by now. If you want some examples of these, I have a folder with all my speedpaints in my gallery.

Each speedpaint slot will be 80 USD. To claim them, send me a note about it and will get back to you asap.

The rules are as follows:

-First come, first serve: I will work through the requests and pictures based on the order I received them. I may refuse your request if I don't think I can do it or if I deem it too complicated or the idea/character doesn't appeal to me. I prefer to work on things I am excited about, as I feel that makes the entire process better, as well as the final product.

-Somewhat Winged: I will go over the idea with you on what you want out of it, the scene and composition and the general concept for the image; But once I start the image, I will only stop at the end, when I think the image is good enough for delivery. After that I will submit it to you. I will do small changes and fixes for free at this point, but bigger ones may be refused (if it requires too much extra work) or will be charged extra.

-Streamed: I will do the entire process in my stream. I will let you know when I'll be working on it. If you are able, you can join the stream and point out changes and other ideas on the fly as I work on it. I highly recommend you to join as that will give you better control over the outcome. The entire process takes anywhere from 3 to 5 hours on average.

-Preferences: I prefer working with SFW or Risque(pin ups, sensual) material over adult content. You are free to request it, but be aware I may refuse it if I am not interested in the idea. I am more experienced in drawing female characters, so I may favor those as well.

-Theme: These will be character focused and christmas themed; including simple background props where they are needed and jolly bright christmas colors. Feel free to suggest things you think will work well with the character, so long as they adhere to the overall theme of christmas.

-Communication: I favor discord as my main method of communication. It's faster and easier to exchange information over IM. I am also willing to use telegram, if you prefer that. I don't like to discuss picture details over notes as that usually takes way too long.

-Payment: The entire value will be paid upfront after you request the slot. I will hold the slot for up to three days without payment. I am willing to honor any refund requests up until when the picture starts, though be aware that it will mess up my schedule as I probably wont have time to pick up another one in your place. So only request it if you are sure you will be able to make it!

-Schedule: I am planning to do them a week or two before christmas. I will announce the exact dates once it gets a little closer.

Slots:
1: Shinyuu
2: BryceAshcret
3: Nuppinup

Well That was quick. haha. Thanks everyone! I will be opening speedpaints regularly every month next year.
If you wanted one but couldnt get it, I will also do the Vaganuary challenge this year too. So there will be plenty slots up for the taking in that one.

So I set up a twitter account god knows how long ago and well, Twitter is pretty cool so I started using it again. its nice, I guess.
If you guys use it, give me a follow there haha.
I'll be posting not-quite-finished work and other stuff there, as well as the usual pics and stuff you see here. Also maybe occasional art rants and tips.

So, first and foremost,  Athiesh won! Congratulations!

So with that out of the way, an issue cropped up: I've had some issues with the delivery of the new tablet:
Turns out the prepaid import fees never went through on the delivery side and they asked me to pay them again. So I am currently talking to huion to see what happened. It should be resolved soon, in any case.

But until then, no new tablet.

I also decided to take a week off drawing because of how I've been feeling burned out with art in general lately and this seems like a good time to do it, as I can get back to it with new gear and feeling fresh.
The raffle drawing will be done once I come back to it.

Thats all, and thanks again everyone! I really appreciate all the support the community has given me thus far.

That's quite a number of people isnt it!

Thanks to everyone who's followed me so far. It's been great!

I have been awfully busy lately, so it's been hard for me to get in here and do something, but
I will be getting a new tablet this monday and I'll be playing around with it for a bit to get used to it (It'll be a Huion KAMVAS Pro 13)
So what better opportunity to commemorate as well as practice?

So, to enter you need: to be a watcher (new watchers are welcome), of course,
comment here with a reference for your character, a simple outline of their personality,
And, to make things more interesting, link to me your favorite picture that I have done so far. (I am curious to which one is the most liked.)

This time I will be raffling a single colored speedpaint. Details on it will depend on the character and what idea I have for it, and will be done with my new tablet :D

The raffle will end this monday (3/9). With that being said. Good luck!

I kind of skipped some milestones since I was really busy at the time with vaganuary. I hit 500 around that time. I meant to do something but never got around to it.

Anyways, we're at 600 now and that calls for some commemoration of course~

I'll raffle away some expression sketches. 6 of them (as proper, for 600!)

So here are the Rules:

You may only enter with up to two different characters that have each their own entry (make two separate comments).
If you only submit a single character, it'll have two entries.
Each character can only win once.
You need to be a watcher (you can be a new watcher, though.)

Ready? just post here with a reference of your character and a general outline of their personality.

That's it!

The raffle will be open until monday.
I'll raffle the slots and draw all of them on the same day.

So if you're looking for some quick cute doodles, look no further! If you're wondering how those sketches will look like, take a look at the few I posted a little while ago.

The days drawn were 19, 26 and 6!

Which means the winners are:
A -  swiftfeather
B -  Jaelri
C -  Elader

Congratulations!

It's been a great month so far; I hope you've been enjoying the arts.

I just got the last slot reserved. It's amazing. I never thought I'd get them all filled in.

Thank you all so much!

On a side note, I will be doing the YCH that will be raffled between everyone who participated soon.
I've had a few things IRL that I had to do along with Vaganuary and it's been pretty demanding, so I couldn't spare much time for it.
I think things are settled now, so I should get back to it.

Vaganuary challenge? What on earth is that?

It's an iron artist challenge, flavored towards Pin ups:
The theme is a drawing female pinup each day for the whole January.

I saw  Aomori joining in and figured it'd be interesting. I love drawing pinups.
The challenge itself was created by  furlana

---

So how will this work?

First of all, the artwork:

I'll do one pinup a day for the whole January. It won't have background outside some complimentary colors shapes. The picture will have slightly rough lineart, and a simplified shading scheme.

Example 1.

Example 2.

The pose will ultimately be up to me. Feel free to send me ideas both about the pose, as well as the personality of the character, though.

The price for each slot will be $45 USD

By the end, on the 31th, I'll do a FREE 3 characters YCH piece (that I'll draw soon) with the 3 slots raffled between everyone who signed up.

Reserving your slot:

Leave a comment here with:
- date you'd like to claim
- reference
- pick one: SFW (black lingerie) / ARTISTIC NUDITY / NSFW (suggestive adult poses)
- Any additional information about your character you may desire to add, about the pose or any noteworthy points of the character you want done right (like breast size certain facial features, for instance)

And send me a note with:
- your Discord ID (if you use it, if not, that's fine. I just prefer to work over Discord)
- your Paypal address.

I'll send you an invoice 5 days before your piece. You need to have it paid by the day your picture comes up, preferably at least one day prior.

3 characters YCH piece


Thats all! Thanks everyone!

First and foremost, I now accept NSFW pictures, officially. I have done them for some time but never bothered to change the terms since I kept pushing back these changes to when I was ready and all that.

Anyways, here are the noticeable changes:


Speedpaints are gone. Not much interest in them. Might offer them on occasion, but for now, they're out.

Illustrations was broken down into Character art and illustration.

Character art is for simpler pieces focusing solely on the character itself, it's details, personality and features.
Illustrations are for pieces focusing on the action, which will accompany an actual background and will have more objects and items in the foreground.

A new kind of picture that I'm now offering is sketchpages. These are a page with usually around 6 doodles of your character as a cheap way to get several ideas and concepts done. You can opt to later get some of them done as full pieces or keep the sheet as is.

Finally, some changes in the reference sheets part. Just a slight change in price and simplified types of pictures included to make it easier to understand and use.

The main goal was to make it easier to understand and less confusing, especially when it came to big illustrations, where the price would skyrocket compared to the start. Now things should be more straight forwards and less confusing.


All commission types will get new images, but for now, they're imageless. Talk to me for examples on each. These pictures should be done soon and updated into the commission info. For now, bear with it!


If you have suggestions or comments about the new page, feel free to post here or talk about it and I'll make sure to answer.

That's all. thanks everyone!

Sounds like it's time for another raffle, as tradition demands!

Thanks a lot, everyone. I know I have slowed down a bit with my uploads, since i've been practicing a lot of things and most of it isn't really suitable for posting. Regardless, I think i'll start to upload a lot more frequently now.

As for the raffle, same rules as before:

You must be a watcher, of course. You can be a new watcher if you want, but if you do watch me, do so because you enjoy my art, not just because of the raffle.

Being a watcher all you have to do is comment here with a random number that hasn't been picked before from 1 to 200, your character reference and whether you want a NSFW or a SFW picture.

I'm not sure of how I'll finish the picture yet, but it should be at least good quality.

And if someone invited you to the raffle, you can add their name and number in your post. Mention your relationship with them as well (friends, gaming buddies, lovers, etc). If you win, I'll draw both characters together. That means that the more people you invite, the higher your chances are to win.

So, with the rule-bits out of the way, thanks again! And good luck!

EDIT: Number 7 Wins! Congratulations  keytotruth12
Here's the piece!
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/25131019/

I was away for 10 days. I forgot to make a journal about it, but that's the reason there has not been any new art or update in these past few days.

The course was wonderful and I feel refreshed to get back to work, so expect me to resume my projects, including the youtube videos in the upcoming week with a lot of passion.

May all beings be happy.

https://youtu.be/wyFkCvheiy0


This is the first in the series. Subscribe to the channel for some more~

Heya. I thought it'd be nice, as a side project, to maintain a youtube video with speedpaints and tutorials.


Here's my first one, concerning not how to draw sketches, but rather, what you should be looking for while doing so.
Hope it helps!
