Moving Accounts+Rebranding!
Posted 6 years agoHey guys! I debated on making this post or if I truly wanted to start over fresh, but I know a lot of good folks on here through this account and I didn't want to just truly disappear from you all. So Im here to tell you that I have been working on rebranding myself and my work!
hedgehoundart
Is my new account and HedgeHound is my new artist name. I've been starting to post on various other social media and Ive even started to take commissions again! After finishing college ive been really motivated to work on my own freelance business and this fresh new start is something ive needed for a while.
I would really love to see many of you over on my new account! Even if you dont plan on commissioning me I will be posting all art I make over there. If you want to keep up with me personally I still have my
goodnoodle account that I will be posting to soon. I am almost done with several personal pieces over there, and when I start making more money there are several artists I want to commission that I will be posting on that account. :3
So please, if you'd like to stay in touch with me and my art find me on and if you've been wanting to commission me I am open for commissions! Im even running a special on badges for AWU!

Posted 6 years agoI don't normally share my birthday or really celebrate it at all but I've been having somewhat of an existential crisis centered around my 25th birthday. Y'know. Quarter of a century, halfway to "retirement", supposed to have my life together, everyone else I know is getting married or having kids.
ANYWAYS, I feel like I should celebrate or at least commemorate my birth tomorrow. Do any of y'all have any ideas?
Depending on how feasible it is for me to do I'll comment back on your suggestion of how it went :3

Making furry fun again
Posted 7 years agoThis morning something woke me up about how much fun I used to have when I was first introduced to furry. And now that I've been around long enough to try my hand at art commissions, and around furries that loved drama and popularity status, I got a bit jaded about furry. I became obsessed with the numbers game, wanting more followers so I could make more money off art. I wanted people to know who I was and be someone in the community that was looked up to or just even looked at. I was never happy when I started to obsess over making money over furry art. I started hating the stuff I made or my skill level I have. Ive had an overall bad experience at the last con I went to because I was so upset no one wanted to hang out with me because I don't have a fursuit.
This is all stuff that I used to not care about, especially way back when I joined. I was just happy to be around like-minded people.
It's not something I wasn't aware of happening, I just didn't know how to stop once I started being obsessed with my status in the community, because it just mattered to me somehow.
Today I think I finally accept that I'm never really gonna be a "somebody" in the furry community, a good artist or a fursuiter or anything, cuz I just don't have the tools or talent.
But at this point I'm okay with that. I just want to have fun like I used to. And create things because I want to make them, not because I think it'll sell.
I still might work on stuff on the side to sell. But from now on I want to focus on just having fun being a furry and making new and interesting things.
Here's to having fun and being creative and sharing with people that appreciate animals with human qualities. 🍻
Thanks for being here with me.

Debating on Tattoo Apprenticeship
Posted 7 years agoIve thought about getting into tattoo work for a couple years now. A lot of people have told me that my artwork reminds them of a tattoo style. I know that apprenticeship lasts for a couple years without pay so I haven't tried because i'm so poor. But maybe I should start working on my portfolio so it's ready when I can handle the financial struggle.
Anyone have any tips on tattoo work or tattoo apprenticeship?

To my Pagans, Therians, Otherkins, and Witches
Posted 7 years agoI suppose this is a coming out and a reaching out journal.
If you don't believe anything I say or the things I believe then I don't blame you, you are entitled to what you believe. Whether I seem crazy or not, I know what I've experienced and what I believe.
I've never really liked using the terms, because the labels aren't exactly best at describing or all inclusive. The labels are also associated with so many negative connotations, I never wanted to claim them. Much like being "furry" growing up i never knew what it was or the community behind it, I just knew i had a liking and a passion for furry art. The curiosity and interest in furry stemmed from my experiences as Therian, and because of that I haven't always felt like a part of this community. Eventually I did come to like anthros in the same way I came to like anime. It was an interesting artform. But similarly to anime, furry was a short lived passion. Something that I like to dabble in from time to time.
-Trigger warnings for mental illness and suicide-
I awoke as a Therian, and later Otherkin, when I was about 13. Which seems to be a common time for people, because it's a common time of self realization and becoming yourself as a human. But I wasn't just awoken by myself. I had spirits following me, some malicious, some good, some neutral. They told me what I was, explained to me why i felt the things i did, the things i saw, and the things I felt. The malicious were always the loudest, followed most closely. I became very, isolated, lonely, depressed, and suicidal. I was told that I was different, special, and I shouldn't be a human. That I didn't belong in this world and I shouldn't be alive. That I should kill myself. This was way before I had any access to internet, before the internet was a common thing. I had no way of knowing that people could have similar experiences, so I was confident that I was different than other people. Often times I just considered myself crazy and mentally ill. But at that point i didn't care. Having the spirits around made me feel less lonely, and them telling me i was different and special made me feel better. So i ended up believing them.
And then I met her. My dear friend, one i could call Soulmate. We confided that we felt same things, we were haunted by similar things. We grew very close for the next few years. We worked so hard to figure out why we were alive, what we were here for so we could leave and go somewhere more peaceful. And we were sure that we shouldn't be alive and shouldn't be human. And then she got in a car accident and she died. And I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready to say goodbye, or to be alone. When I was with her I felt like I was home for the first time in my life, that I could be myself and not have to worry.
I attempted to take my life shortly after hers but I was unsuccessful. I decided that, if I was a human now, then there had to be a reason, so I was determined to find out why. I forcibly killed my otherself and my memories of my past life, so i could find a purpose in this life. The spirits left after that, mostly. The loud and malicious ones left. I heard no more voices, and saw few unnatural occurrences, that were easy to brush off. I began my new life of trying to be a normal person, and learn that I had more things in common with humans than I was different from them. That I was in fact a human even though i despised them. And to get on with my life rather than whining about it and giving up on it. But my memories of the spirits, of my shiftings, of her, never went away. I suppressed everything I could, but memories would still come back. I was mildly successful at being a normal person. I finished school, moved out, went to college, graduated, got jobs. But Ive always been unfulfilled. Ive never felt truly understood or at peace. Ive never felt at home since.
Its been about a year now since I reawakened. I stopped thinking of my experiences as mental illness alone or that I was schizophrenic in my youth. I learned about Paganism through learning about Wicca. I came to terms with the fact that the malicious voices I heard and the demonic things I saw could in fact be explained through spirits, or beings made of energy not from this plane of existence. I accepted the fact that I was otherkin, a spirit from another plane inhabiting a human body: Something I used to believe before I decided to kill that part of myself and embrace humanity. I accepted that I believed in reincarnation and rebirth. That many of the feelings and thoughts I had came from past lives. I began to ponder if I chose to live a human life to learn things I couldn't otherwise. That I had a purpose in being here and living.
This is the first time I have ever shared this story publicly. Up until now I have shared bits and pieces with 2 or 3 people Ive trusted. And only within the last couple of years could I do that. The reason I'm sharing this now is in hopes that people with similar experiences will find it. Maybe they will find solace in knowing that they aren't alone. Or maybe reach out to me with their stories, so I feel less alone.
In honesty, i'm writing this because i'm selfish and I want to find someone like her again: people similar enough to me that we can bond. Maybe i'm doomed to feel this way for the rest of this life, because I lost my soulmate at the beginning of it. But I hope that there is a possibility that you can have more than one soulmate, or at least, more than one person you can bond so deeply with. This is the only way I feel like i could express my feelings. The furry community is a fairly accepting place. Even if no one responds to me, I think I will have at least started feeling better by not keeping it inside anymore. Coming out is cathartic. perhaps publicly announcing what I feel and what I am, will help me fully realize it.
I am...so profoundly lonely. I want to feel what it's like have a pack again, even though I know I shouldn't dwell on past memories. I still want that sense of belonging, of someone seeing me for what I am and what I've gone through and know what it's like, to not judge me, but see me.
If you read this. Thank you for your time. If you want to message me you can. You can comment or send a note or message me on telegram: CanisSolus, username: Ashyre.
If you don't want to talk to me or If you don't like the topics I discussed then that is okay too. I have no hard feelings. Thank you for taking the time to read this and maybe empathize or pity me. I wish you well.

Starting College Again
Posted 7 years agoGonna be working on my Graphic Design degree with an emphasis in Visual Arts. Gonna try and fall in love with art again with a different approach, wish me luck!
Anyone I owe art to / Updates
Posted 7 years agoI know there are a couple of you. However if I have been unable to contact you, please let me know if you would prefer a refund or art. My sincerest apologies for the long delay in getting my art to you.
Because of my housing insecurities, having no place to live or keep my things, living with friends and relatives, stressing ALL of my social relationships, many many money problems so that I cannot stay with anyone for more than a few months it is definable in America as homelessness. I am not living on the streets, I have had to stay in my car a couple times, physically I have been safe and fortunate. However with all the stress my situations have caused I clearly cannot do commissions right now.
I have had several severe depressive and suicidal episodes over the past couple months and year. This is not your problem and I realize it is quite unprofessional. It's not an excuse, just an explanation.
I am taking out student loans to try and get a place in September. Once I am in a safe place I will hopefully feel well enough to finish art if you would like your piece to be finished. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee it will be finished in September, if you are nervous about my ability to finish your piece that is perfectly understandable, I would recommend you ask for a refund which I will honor with my loan money come September.
Again my sincerest apologies to anyone on here that I have affected with my personal life. Moving forward I will try to separate my business life from my personal life, so this won't happen again. It is hard, when I run a business on my own. I will try to be more professional in the future, if I ever choose to do art again.

BLFC 2018, gonna be there
Posted 7 years agoI'm gonna be at BLFC this year!
Not dealing obviously, but I would like to get in on some art jams or trades maybe!
Gonna be staying in the main hotel, with friends. Most of this trip is gonna be focused on relaxing and having fun.
I've been really burnt out on the furry fandom lately, mostly the art has put me in a sour mood. But I still like the people and the fun.
If you're going let me know! I'd love to meet some more people this con. I give hugs if you ask!

I do not enjoy making art anymore
Posted 7 years agoThis journal has been a long time coming really. Anyone that somewhat watches me would know that I have struggled with my uploads since the start.
Pushing myself to take commissions hasn't been the best for me. I've heard so many times that if you want to make art a job then you need to treat it professionally and work hard, and that it doesn't matter if you enjoy it or not, because its work and you owe your customer what they paid for. I've wanted to do art as a job so badly because I personally struggle with working a normal job. So much so that my depression had led to me becoming evicted and homeless, because I couldn't get up off the couch and go to work.
People tell you that if you have a job that you love that you'll never have to work a day in your life. They're wrong. Or at least, in my experience they're wrong. Instead of never having to work, you'll just end up hating the thing you used to love. When you turn your hobby into a business it takes everything from you.
Some people can make this work. They have certain circumstances that allow them to take the time to get good at art and running their own business, or perhaps have a predisposition at being good at those things. I do not have a natural knack for art, I work very hard but I do not work everyday because I cannot, physically or mentally, and that makes a huge difference in the skill of an artist. I think its become obvious to everyone else, and now me, that I cannot make this work.
I gave it a good run. Or, at least a run. I dealed at BLFC last year and I had a great experience. People seemed to really enjoy my work. But I also took on too much work. It was good because I was able to help myself out of a slump, and afford more accommodations to my situation at the time. But doing that much art in that short amount of time, and consequently my queue after the con, drained the absolute fuck out of me.
I do not enjoy making art anymore. In fact, I hate my art. So much. And it kills me. Taking something I enjoyed so much since my earliest childhood, my outlet during my horribly depressive teenage years, and into my stressful and dissociative young adult years, and now its become the thing I've had the most struggle with: work.
So this is me signing off of here. This account. If I make furry art anymore it will probably be for friends and more importantly myself. I might change my mind later, I still have ideas for art and maybe stickers, t-shirts, and crafty things. But struggling like this hasn't been good for my health, nor has it been even remotely successful.
For my friends that have been here for me since the beginning, or even the very kind people along the way: Thank you. Thank you for supporting me and my art. Many people have shown me a kindness on this website that I cannot repay. I have made so many great friends through this community.
I am not leaving this community or fandom. I still plan on attending conventions, and am working 30 hours a week, so I might even be able to afford commissioning some art pieces before too long.
If you would like to keep in contact with me through furaffinity I will be at goodnoodle Twitter is still CanisSolus, Telegram is CanisSolus

goodnoodle Twitter is still CanisSolus, Telegram is CanisSolusNew Account: GoodNoodle
Posted 8 years agoHey guys, I made a new account: goodnoodle
No worries, Im not moving. This will be a personal and commissioned art account.
Im also going to be treating it more as a social media as well, while this account is mostly for business and being "professional"
Feel free to keep commenting and contacting me here, but I would prefer any casual conversations to occur over there :3
The reason I made the account is well... I wanted a name to reflect my noodliness dragon self. Bicker is basically a mascot for my business at this point, since I identify with Ashyre as my Fursona.
Is this a good time to mention that Canis-Solus is a Binomial Nomenclature for Bicker? Shes not really a specific species of canine, her own thing being a hellhound, so yeah, thats her species name. I dunno if I ever got around to mentioning that.
I want to get a lot more art in the future, and spend more money and put back into the community here. Im looking for a new job currently and will be moving to another town. After Im financially stable is when Ill be wanting to buy more art, and I thought a separate account would be nice to post other peoples art ive bought.
Feel free to follow me over there if you wish, but I will be uploading all art I make here, and all art I commission or get over there. If you like my characters, then id advise to watch that account. <3

Went to the hospital today
Posted 8 years agoArt has been slow because I've been sick. I'd like to keep my illness private, but I am at least taking steps to getting better.
Working on art everyday, I just haven't been able to work for prolonged amounts of time.
Will be updating my Trello shortly. <3

-Free and cheap art rampant, mostly low quality
-great for people who are just starting out in the fandom (tho the culture encourages a lot of bad habits and behaviors imo)
-very very social. like. you have to have a lot of free time on your hands to be into it honestly

After getting a feel for what it was all about I knew it wasn't for me. Lots of topics i couldn't identify with, toxicity. I made a thread asking people what apps or websites they use to talk to other furries and had several people come into chat to tell me that i shouldn't be on Amino and my thread was reported and taken down for not being in compliance with the "rules" of which the only thing I mentioned that could have been against the rules was i used the word "dating" (Apparently there is no dating or even reference to dating allowed on the app so *shrugs*) I wasn't looking for dating on the app, just asked what people use to talk to others, dating or otherwise. I suppose people just paraphrased and jumped to conclusions. Honestly not surprised with the kind of environment and demographic is on there.
Would I recommend it?
Not personally. But you can give it a try like I did, and see for yourself. This was just my experiences on it, not everyone's. I might just be a salty ol'crusty 23 year-old. I know there were a couple "successful" artists on there, if you want to meet lots of different people really quickly then it might be your thing. (but don't expect to have any meaningful conversations or friendships out of it XD )

Some of your fetishes? Discount art?
Posted 8 years agoI've been wanting to do some fetish art to diversify my portfolio and my skills.
Some things I've been considering drawing:
Vore
Feet paws
Bondage/collar
Tentacles
Light inflation
After my current queue is caught up I'll consider doing some discount expiremental commissions based around any of the stuff listed above
How does 25.00 sound as a base price?
Digital, may not be fullbody, but it would be fully rendered.
Would you be interested at all? Also, is there something you're into that you don't see here that you want to get from me? Let me know :3

How do you keep motivated?
Posted 8 years agoQuestion:
What do you guys do to keep yourself motivated to do art? To work when you don't want to? Or when you've lost interest in something you were once passionate about?
Backstory, things you don't have to read, (mental illness and woes) :
I did really well dealing at BLFC. In fact I got overwhelmed with support and people liking my art and wanting to commission me.
Now I feel like I can start making money off of art.
And I have time to do it. I couldn't stay with my friend anymore, so my choices were homelessness again or moving back in with my parents, and trigger warning here: I always told myself I'd kill myself before I ever moved back in with them. (Abusive household that exacerbates my mental illnesses)
Well, homelessness isn't good for my mental health either and it all but eliminates my ability to do art for money, now that I know that's what I want to do.
So I'm moved in with my parents now but my motivation is very low. I want to do art. But can't bring myself to sit down and do it. I know my depression is the biggest factor in my lack of motivation, but I just don't know how to cope with it well enough and do work. I've tried a slew of medications, and therapists, and it's only made things worse by, first of all: not helping, and second of all: costing me a fortune.
What do you guys do to keep yourself motivated to do art? To work when you don't want to? Or when you've lost interest in something you were once passionate about?
Thank you for reading if you did. I don't like to post too personal of things on here, but venting is at least good. And it's still art related and it keeps you guys updated on why I haven't posted anything.

Traditional Art Dump

Been liking that shiz lately.

Looking for Collab Partner(s)
Posted 8 years agoIve been doing a lot of sketches but im getting a lot of block when it comes to my lines, and I usually really enjoy doing lines.
Well Im not putting any art out because of it.
Anyone feel like doing some sketch refinement/lines to some of my pieces? Hell, if you want to color and shade let me know.
Be warned, NSFW pieces are in separate folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/oz9mn4n6.....OpoeDUyNa?dl=0
I am 100% down with making these YCHs, and we can work out payment details if youre interested.
Do any of you guys have some pieces you want me to collaborate with you on? Im game for that too, Im in a rut with my own artwork so I think working with someone else and a different style would be helpful.

Going to be a dealer at BLFC this year!
Posted 8 years agoA short time ago I got the Okay on being a vendor at Biggest Little Furcon in Reno through june 1st-4th!
Im extremely excited for this opportunity and Ive been really busy with work and College and making art for the con that I havent actually been active or uploaded.
Im going to be uploading some today but i'll try to keep it to one upload a day.
I also have access to a decent computer that can stream so I am planning on streaming regularly now.
For the con i' planning on having a selection of buttons, stickers, prints, balloon animals and neckerchiefs. I am also going to be taking commissions at the con, and plan on having exclusive badges for the con theme this year: Kaiju.
Let me know if you have any ideas, if you're going to be there, or whats been up with you!
Thank you!

I guess people don't want to talk anymore
Posted 9 years agoI've been trying to be more talkative on the site and comment on people's things. Strike up conversation, been messaging people for trades and probably a 1/4 of the messages I send I get responses to.
Its really discouraging. Maybe I should just stick to art and try not to be too social.
Or maybe I should be social anyways and try not to be butthurt if people don't want to talk to me
If you would like to do an art trade let me know.

First time making a holiday Wishlist. I would like to grant other people's wishes this year as well, so please link yours and others in the comments. If you don't know what wishlist is: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5262763

I had more. Im sorry to say I lost a lot of my possesions when I became homeless. Please link yours and others Lists and I may have something you want that isn't listed here.
╰━━━━━━╮☆★☆╭━━━━━━╯
╭━━━━━━╯☆★☆╰━━━━━━╮
The List
1. To no longer be homeless. I am currently staying with a friend, and I am really grateful, but I don't want to impose any longer or lose any more friendships over it.
2. To meet more people and make more friends. Something I'm currently working on, but no one I've felt really close too. This is a wish, but I believe I am the only one who can grant it. (But feel free to message me and we can get to know eachother)
3. Make a living off of art. (Or at least an income) I am working hard to improve my skills and I would like to be selling more commissions. It is a grand dream of mine to be able to live mostly off the money I make from creating for people.
4. Get a Companion Dog. I have wanted, and needed, an emotional support animal for a while, but because of my current living situation s (or lack thereof) I refuse to have a dog and potentially be unable to provide for them. I'm sure a dog won't mind living in my car with me, but I'm worried still.
5. Fursuit this would be when I am more financially stable. But I have been to two conventions and a handful of meets and, while you don't need a fursuit to be a furry or have fun, it certainly does help. You meet more people, make more friends, get more recognition. All around more integrated into the fandom.
6. Laptop My current laptop will stop working any day now. It freezes when it uses up too much RAM. The battery is dead, so it always has to be plugged in. And it sometimes takes a couple times to restart (a 15 minute endeavor) to get my tablet to work with it for digital art. My laptop is currently my only way to work on digital art.
7. Get in Shape/Lose Weight Again, this wish is up to me, and it is something I have been working on. I've been running and going to the gym almost every weekday. If you would like to help tho, perhaps some pointers or words of encouragement?
8. Reference Sheets I've been wanting to update my two Sonas, Bicker and Ashyre. But I certainly feel my skills are lacking. I really wanted to get a feral reference of Bicker from: theshadowedgrimm on deviantart or Skaella . And a dragon reference from: Renashe. I also think Uluri would do a really awesome job working on my dragon character for her human and partial human forms.
9. BLFC I have been going to BLFC since 2015 and it is the only convention I have ever been too and I haven't missed it yet. I have met so many wonderful people and made so many wonderful friends. I don't know where I will be next year, but I wouldn't want to miss BLFC for the world <3
10. Travel This is my biggest and most grand dream of my life. It kind of goes with everything: wanting art to support me. I would love to live out of my car and travel, with a dog, and see and meet as many people as I can, see and do as many things as I can, and experience so many different ways of life. And I would always have access to the furry community, no matter where I go I know there would always be like-minded friendly, furry people. :3
To make this dream a reality all I need is enough income a month to cover my car bill, my insurance, my gas +food+general living expense. I don't feel like it's asking much, but I have a long ways to go to reach a dependable income month-to-month.
