Been thinking about it for a bit, even experimented on Discord with it, but here's a question.

Who would want paw themed stickers? Like a set of them. Or even just stickers in general? I'm curious to know.

I'm sorry to say that, due to dumbass policy updates that were obviously half-assed, poorly worded and aren't fixing any problems, I'm going to possibly have to purge a lot of content from this, despite the fact that is a SFW account exclusively. But we all know it takes one dumb person who thinks all tickling art is sexual because it falls into fetish territory and due-diligence never really factors into this stuff. While I've never had a problem, I have seen it affect a lot of people and thus I am not convinced that this will end well for me or anyone.

I'll give you all about a week before I make a full decision, just to see where this all goes. But if I were you I'd back up some of my content.

Because why not?

So long as you don't ask me anything political, you can ask me anything. Be warned, though, you may not get the answer you expect, so ask at your own risk.

Also, don't ask about commissions or anything like that. That's really super fucking annoying in this kind of journal.

Alright, first off, for people who still have commissions on the docket, you ARE GETTING THEM, I'm just gonna need to get this started up because people have interest and I need to think of these things. So please don't note me asking me if I'm still doing your commissions, I am. I just need to be extremely clear on that.

Alright, as for everyone else, here's how it will go, I'm gonna open up ten commission slots, all of them for lineart and sketches still, but I am willing to also add some additional shading to lineart for an extra $5 if you are interested. I'm hoping to use this as a chance to set up the schedule I thought up as well, so there's that reason too.

For people wondering, I am only doing SFW pieces, and I'm okay with light bondage, paws and tickling, but I'm not interested in drawing other fetishes like musk or the like, just so we're clear. Before you ask, I would recommend getting all of the details and references together first and foremost, that way we can minimize how much note passing we do. My commission prices are here https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45808645/. The deadline to ask shall be Thursday evening.

And that's about it for now. Hopefully I'll be more productive and open these slots up more often this year than I did last year.

I've had it for awhile, but I never used it because I despise Twitter and all it stands for. But I realize I need to make use of things that I got in order to make this art stuff work better.

So, here's the link for anyone who wants to follow me. https://twitter.com/ChaosRaccoon99

Okay, so after months of trying to get good at commission work, scheduling around real life stuff, donating plasma even and other things, I am now at the end of the year and... unhappy that it feels like I didn't get nearly as much done as I'd have liked to this year.

Well, whatever, that's all going to change. Starting this week, I've put a new schedule into effect that I'm hoping can maximize my output for both here and on Patreon. Speaking of the latter, I will have an update on how I will distribute pictures from it onto here in the future and might also do some minor changes for anyone looking to join up. The details will show up, but not all of this will start up until the first week of January.

Commissions will also resume come the first week of January (hopefully), with the ones I currently have also being focused on for next week. I'd like to do it more this week, but there's that annoying real life stuff and I can't guarantee that I will be able to get all of it done. However, I really do want to re-prioritize commissions for anyone who has or is looking to get one so that I can get them out in a timely fashion and also in the best quality that you deserve.

That's all for now. I know it's a sudden update and I know some may not see it right away, but I wanted to get my ass in gear as soon as possible on this after being something of a disappointment to you all. Either way, until more details are given, I will you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I do appreciate you all more than you can really know, even if I'm terrible at showing it.

Just a cold, nothing serious, in case you're wondering. But it has put me out of commission for a bit. I should be all better by the start of next week.

I just figured I'd let you all know what's going on.

It's a minor thing overall, but of course the moment I get going and making a huge bout of progress, this happens.

So, I'll probably start releasing those pics in batches rather than individually. If only because I can't actually tell when my internet is just suddenly gonna go down for hours on end. I do apologize for the inconvenience regarding this.

Gonna keep this short.

This week sucked. I got a lot of stuff done and was back on track, only for several freezes and a forced updated that I know for a fact I didn't want to go through at all suddenly wiped out a good chunk of what I had worked on previously.

And it pisses me off so much. So much, in fact, that I actually was worried it would affect my health again, so I've been forced to take several days off from it, rather then get right back to starting over what I was working on before this happened.

So, sorry in advance, even if you didn't know it, but I had several commissions ready for people who have been waiting that will now take some extra time as I start again. It's just so damn frustrating.

Just a reminder, the YCH ends tonight at 8 pm PST. If you wish to join in, just keep that in mind. I won't be extending the deadline.

My Patreon is up and ready to go. Fair warning, as we go further, I might add more tiers or adjust things depending on how everything goes.

https://www.patreon.com/ChaosRaccoon99

If you guys have any questions, please feel free to ask here. I'll also post some kind of pic to help out for those who don't necessarily want to deal with or even read them.

The Free Sketch Raffle is, at least for the first couple of months, going to be limited to two characters at most. After all, I gotta still tackle a lot of other pictures, so it's best for all involved to limit it.

First things first, Patreon, it'll be up tomorrow. More details then. Glad we got that out of the way. :P

As for today, I will say new slots are open. There are a couple of previous commissioners I need to finish, but I'm sure I'll make headway by the time this is filled up. Possibly.

Okay, same basic rules, no NSFW, no politics, let's keep any fetish content primarily to paws and tickles. Feel free to ask for things that aren't tickle or paw related if you wish. You guys have until 8 pm PST tomorrow to get your commissions in.

Alright, so here's the deal. I'm gonna have to have some operations done on my teeth in the next few months. I just had a very terrible dental appointment today and I'm gonna need to go and get a lot of work done. As if having had a bad allergy season didn't already set me back, now there's this. It pisses me off, it stresses me out and I can only hope that it's the last of these things to happen. And while some insurance is gonna cover it, the amount I'll have to pay is still over a thousand dollars. This is a result of my own bad decision making from before I started taking better care of myself and I'm just facing the consequences of my own actions. However, I'm gonna get through this, I'm gonna keep working on art to help offset as much as I can and I have family that will also help out in that regard. It doesn't have to all be done at once, which is a good thing, but I just felt it important to let you all know what is going on since I do know a lot of things have been happening all at once. I know a lot of people are waiting for commissions from me and I don't want to disappointment them all again.


I know it's something that a lot of people might not want to hear, which is why I hesitated to put it in the journal title, but I do think I am gonna re-start my Patreon soon just to try to help take the edge off of me in trying to get all this stuff done. If I do, I'm not going to do any tiers and I'm not gonna have exclusive art on there. If I do have exclusive art, it'll only be so for a week so that those who who don't want to join my Patreon because they don't believe in that or because they don't have the money to support me and their other artists they follow. I completely understand in that regard and not only that, but I also recognize that I've not shown myself as the greatest when it comes to timely commitments. So if I do, I have to make sure I can do right by you all. It is your money and I do not want you all to feel like you have to help me on account of my own bad decision making.

I haven't made a final decision on it, so this is just me saying things that are on my mind to try and fix this situation. If I do, I will let you all know and I'll be transparent about what benefits or anything will be done from this so that you all are comfortable with it. Or not. It is, after all, all up to you.

Do take care, everyone.

Since I don't yet think I'll be doing weekly ones, I increased the count by two. We'll see how quickly these ones take.

Okay, we got off to a rocky start, but first five commissions are done. Or at least almost, I'm almost done with the last one will be done by tomorrow morning. I will upload all the commissions when they are done. Now for those who reserved before hand or people who want to try getting a slot now, the countdown is ticking.

Same rules as before. Confirm you want one and then send the details before 4:00 PM PST Tuesday. Why Tuesday this time? Because I was still a little late in making this announcement, so I figured I'd give you guys a little extra time.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45808645/ Remember to use this as reference.

So the reason commissions are rather off schedule are for a few reasons, though not as much this time around thankfully. One is that real life issues just kept getting in the way. I had people in my real life who didn't understand that they were taking up my time doing just that, though they now understand that they can't be doing that.

Because of this, as well as just the general stress of feeling like I was falling back into old practices had a significant effect on my health, which also coupled itself with a nasty allergic reaction from a particularly nasty allergy season. Something in the air where I live has given a lot of people I know the same effect, though we can safely say it's not anything related to any viruses going around, so there is that.

But this did mean that I lost a lot a whole weeks worth of time on commissions, though I did manage to get some of the work done over the weekend even as I was facing some of the worst of it. I should be back up and running within a short while.

The current people listed on the front page will get there commissions and we can start again soon. I do apologize for the radio silence, but since I am getting better I felt it important to do this update.

Hope you all are doing well.

I selected who fills the slots for this week and don't worry if you did make it on time for the selection. Anyone who did has been automatically added to the list for next week.

Though, who knows? If I finish these ones early enough, you might get to see it done this week too. ;)

Exactly what it is says in the title.

Every week I'll open up some slots, as I'll be actually working to get three sketch commissions done a week, if not more. Those that are not done will transfer to the next week, meaning how many open slots there are will vary from week to week.

This week I'll open 5 slots, (though technically speaking four as someone already reserved one slot ahead of time). Slots will open up Sunday and close Monday. You will have those two days to decide if you wish to have a slot and to prepare your commission info. If you do not get your commission info to me by the end of Monday, say 10 EST, than you will not get that slot and it will be given to someone else.

I do hope this is all clear.

That was one godawful year and those there's no guarantee that this year will be any better, I will definitely still be working to improve and do more, while also building up a future for myself.

To that end, updates are incoming. I know I said that before, but naturally things happened. However, these are the details that I can give right now.

First up, I will be finishing the remaining Halloween YCH's so I can start putting out a new one. Along with that, I will be finishing up some current commissions and then we'll be going to a simple system that, I know some may not like, but it will certainly ease things up for me as I'm working to get this schedule figured out.

Aside from my current commissions, all future commissions will currently be regulated to only sketches and lineart. This is not going to be a permanent thing and the next set of YCH's will be exempt from this. That's because, like the Halloween ones, the backgrounds and such will already be colored in. Thus it'll be easy to color those, especially this next one I have planned, which is quite simple.

I'm sure a lot of you really do want to have my pics in color and I understand that, but we have to remember that, if I'm gonna make this work, then I need to not overload myself at the very first month of this whole thing. Trust me, I don't want to keep disappointing you all with my own inadequacies.

More details, including an updated commission price template, will be releasing soon. Till then, I do hope you all are doing well.

Sorry for the blunt title, but I'm not that big into explaining things right now.

The gist of it is that I have officially decided to postpone my retirement. I plan to keep working on tickle pics for you guys for awhile yet.

HOWEVER, there will be some changes in how I do things, particularly commissions. I will officially announce those changes at the end of the month, but for now, I simply ask that you patiently wait for more details. Particularly if you have commission ideas for me. You may want to hold off on asking me for commissions until I adjust everything.

That is all for now. Hope you all are well.

Because of a family tragedy that happened earlier this month, that I do not wish to go into details, and how drawn out the process was, I'm quite behind on the schedule I had planned out before I set to work on this project. As such, there is the possibility that not all of the pics will be done in time for Halloween, which was what I wanted.

However, because I'm not a fan of Thanksgiving, I will still post these pics in November and get them done then. My schedule will be cleared up by then. And for people who didn't get the chance to join this one in time, I will announce the next YCH once the last pic is done and uploaded.

I hope you understand and are looking forward to both the pics and the next YCH. It will be something simple, nothing too original, but I feel paw fans will quite like it. Until then, stay safe out there.

Will respond when I wake up or get off work.

Reposting of the ground rules.

No asking about upcoming pictures, commissions or anything of the sort. You may ask me about pics I've already done, provided they do not fall under those categories in anyway, but those are off limits.

Don't ask me about politics. I will not even entertain any of them.

Don't ask me for my personal contact information.

Since this https://www.furaffinity.net/view/42818367/ is now done, the obvious question arises. Is it time to punish Ziggs further for his teasing here? Can those feet and pits be left alone to just continue being untickled? If so, what would be a fitting punishment for this shameless fellow?

Aside, side note, please do not say "Well, if you want to do so-" or something like it. Because that's not my question. No one likes hearing that question. It's counterproductive.

So, first off, I got a couple of jobs over here in the real world, though I'm hoping to ditch one of them soon for one that has better hours. It's not an art conducive schedule, which I want to return to so I can get all your commissions worked on or else provide you some cute pics. Just thought I'd let you know about it so you know there will be some issues getting art out for at least another week.

Speaking of, I plan to do at least one stream a week on either a day off or so, starting today. It will be in a bit and probably won't last super long, but hopefully long enough to finish a pic I've been teasing for awhile involving a certain Yordle. Hope you enjoy it.

I'll have a bigger update some time in the future.

Yay or nay?

If so, which ones?
