2023 was an extremely productive year for me, and I have no idea if I can top it in terms of quantity. 😅

What I can say regarding my plans for 2024 though is to put a lot more of my time and energy working on the "Primordial" comic, which I have the front cover available for viewing here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52752616/

Unfortunately, this means I can't be taking nearly as many commissions as I have lately, but I may reopen every now and then, or perhaps only take ideas that I'm fully interested in. Hope you understand, because the Cory story has to be told!

Next year is the year of the raptor...I can smell it. And it smells good.

Sadly Fur Affinity still does not allow for videos to be uploaded, so here are links to it on both YouTube and Twitter/X:

It's basically an animated video of Chi-Chi and Seymour shaking their rumps to a bop from The House of the Dead: Remake.

I really don't know if putting it on YouTube was a good call or not, but I think I can get away with it. Plus I really wanted to. 😅

Then please please PLEASE go contact  barkdango! They've been an incredible friend to me for over 5 years now, and they're really talented and highly educated when it comes to singing, songwriting, DJing, sound design, voice acting, and pretty much anything else I can think of in terms of audio.

Not to mention, super great at crafting fursuit accessories~

Sorry I didn't really do a proper art piece for Halloween this year, although ig my latest commission piece was pretty scary. 😅 I did commission another artist to do one for me, so that oughta be fun when it's finished!

Hope you all have fun tonight! Watch out for all the ghosts n' stuff, and especially watch out for all those kids trick or treating!

Trying to save up some additional funds for Megaplex so I decided to do a sale until then! All of my YCHs, including the "Get Yoshi-fied" commissions, are half-off until September 14th. Please see my gallery subfolders for a list of them!
(Some are very kinky though)

Custom commissions are still the same price, although I'm open to some negotiation. ^^

Big thanks to my friend  lt.-fabi for getting me in ❤️

I've decided to hold a little sale for commissions because truthfully I need more work to do. 😅 Everything is 50% off until August 1st, 2023. This does not include YCHs.

Commission info can be found here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10216027

Please let me know so I can roll out a patch for it.

Matter of fact, here's a non-exhaustive laundry list of fixes I intend to make:

"(Animated) Strat does THAT Pose"
*Make Strat's hair sway
*Strat's vest should be grey, not black

"Coppersmith's Island - Page 4"
*Add motion lines behind Captain Cringefest (unofficial name) as he flees the boat
*Captain Cringefest should not have boots

"The Garden of Muddy Butts (Story in Description!)"
*Criss-crossing ripples in the Mud Lake, between Strat and Elijah

"Primordial Comic Cover"
*Unknown raptor in the sky might need a body, and possibly a redesign overall
*Wet sand should be darker where ocean meets shore

"Your Yoshi Shakes That Tail! Animated YCH"
*Add background
*Change price tag shown in GIF. Price is now $50 instead of $60

...I feel like a developer of The Sims 4 now. 😛

Yes, all of them are open with unlimited slots! You can find all of them listed in my gallery folders.

Here are some I suggest looking at:

Tail Hang - Character sits backwards on a gaming chair, with their tail hanging off the seat:
https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/chi-chi/folder/1027970/Tail-Hang

Rearview - Character stands confidently with their hands on their hips, back turned toward the viewer as they look behind them:
Rearview: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/chi-chi/folder/1079664/Rearview

Stucc - Character is buried headfirst in something, with their lower body raised up in the air:
https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/chi-chi/folder/1097750/Stucc

If you're interested, please contact me through FA notes. You can also ask for my Discord and Telegram if you find those more convenient. Thanks ^^

Last week I shared this preview with you all: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52029248/

I've been working real hard on my next animation, and I'm really liking how it's turning out! Be aware though that it will contain mud stuckage, because why would I have it otherwise~ 😛

That being said, I imagine it'll be just safe enough that I can get away with uploading it to YouTube, like I did with this video: https://youtu.be/eElEz28mHaA (And admittedly, I'm kind of using the same idea twice, but I think this new one's gonna be a big improvement.)

I might even host a premiere for the video, although I'm not 100% sure about it yet. Either way, I will let you all know when it is finished!

And it was absolutely amazing, like aaaaaa I'm so happy I got to live my biggest fantasy~

I was hosting a belated birthday party at a nude beach with some friends, and it was already a lot of fun, getting to hang out and relax and skinny dip in the ocean, but then at some point I was chatting with a wonderful friend on Telegram, telling them what was going on, and of course, being a kink master themself, they convinced me to bury myself headfirst in the sand and let my kink become reality...and it did!

Then, another great friend who was with me, agreed to help me out with it. I got a big hole dug out for my body, and this friend helped cover me up with the sand...of course, with my naked butt sticking out and jiggling about. It was an absolute dream come true, I must've stayed buried like that for a good 10 minutes before I needed air.

I even got a bunch of pics and videos taken of my exposed booty, which obviously I can't share on FA, due to the policy on real-life nudity. 😛 Though I did share one video on my AD Twitter. May share some of the pics on there too, eventually, if people want to see them.

Really hoping I can do it all over again because my gosh I loved it so much, and I really love those who were involved with the process. Can't thank them enough. ❤️

Seems like there's a lot happening my birth month! Been hanging with friends, had a party with family, went to a protest, got a new graphic design job, and I'm going to a nude beach later this month.

And now today is the exact date of my birthday, and I've mostly been doing projects for work. 😅 But it's alright, cuz it's a job I'm enjoying so far. Not to mention I'm gonna order a pizza for dinner later.

So yes, overall this month has been good to me. But you wanna know what'll make it even better? YOU!

Love you all so much~ 💕

All for them are still open. ^^
Please take a look at my gallery folders for a list of them!

I view it as a fun little holiday about joking and lighthearted teasing. Whether or not you enjoy it or celebrate it, please stay safe, don't do anything that could harm yourself or others, and if someone's clearly annoyed, just leave them be.

And please don't get yourself into any trouble with the law or anything.

Like the former guy did.

:P

Generally, if I have it posted on my FurAffinity page, then I welcome reposts of my work on certain imageboards, forums, and group chats, and perhaps some other communities I'm not a member of, but please please PLEASE get my permission first, and give credit and link back to the original FA submission page.

What I don't allow is edits to the images. Resizing them is fine if you're trying to reduce the file size or whatever, but don't draw or write anything over the art, don't crop or remove my signature, don't claim it as your own or anyone else's, etc.

Of course, if you're not posting them on a public platform and just wish to share my art with your friends in Telegram groups or Discord severs, then I strongly encourage that! But again, linking back to the original submission page is appreciated. ^^

If we're talking about E621, specifically...then yes I encourage that too. 😛

Just a furiendly reminder that if you commission SFW art from me, I may very well record the process for a YT speedpaint video at no extra cost, with your permission of course. ^^
Here's my channel where you can find my speedpaints and other stuff: https://www.youtube.com/@Chicherino

When I say SFW, this excludes anything that may seem remotely sexual or fetishy. A tastefully nude character without visible bits should be fine though, but no provocative posing or anything of that nature.

These speedpaints will typically be sped up by 10x, and contain stock music from YouTube's Audio Library. In the video description, there will be links to the art submission on DeviantArt and possibly Twitter, but not FurAffinity due to the NSFW content I have on here, (although your commission will still be posted here).

Remember, you can find my commission info in my featured journal. And of course, if you don't want me to do any of this for your commissioned art, you absolutely have the right to opt out of it!

If you need any additional information or other questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks for all your support. ^^

My friend  cleverderpy risks becoming homeless tomorrow and needs money asap! Please read this for more info: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10462452/

Words cannot express how concerned I am, but if we can get them out of this, we need to do it fast.

all right well it's been that whole thing man i'm just thinking about it constantly i've been sitting here and you get through it it's almost like a three-day cycle i feel like i'm going through there's like three days where i feel like i'm doing ok and everything's all right and here's three days where i'm like holy shit how did i ever feel anything but this it's like just despondent apathy but then for the sake of family for the sake of friends for the sake of a career you gotta pull it together and you do and you know why cuz we're adults and this is just a reality we can't just cry foul about these things it's just simply what it is and all you'd like to do and you do especially when it's dark by like 3pm but I think ultimately what we're trying to do ultimately ultimately ultimately say ultimately again I dare you motherfucker say ultimately one more time ultimately it's about LOVE ❤️

So first, I'll start with the bad news. The "Frosty Dreams" animated short I had been working on forever will have to be cancelled. Not because I lost the enthusiasm to work on it, but because I recently had to downgrade my Adobe CC subscription due to how expensive it's been getting, so I no longer have access to Adobe Animate, and therefore am unable to open the file for the project. I'm sorry to any long-time watchers who were looking forward to it...

This doesn't mean I want to give up on animation in general though, because I recently downloaded Live2D, and intend to do a rather simple animation based on that mud head-dunk variant of my old Jacko Pose pic: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43626059/

Basically it's gonna have a lot of wiggling and squirming, set to some wonderful RuneScape 3 music. In particular, it's the "Jungle Hunt" track, because it's my jam right now and I find it extremely fitting for the project. 😛 I also have little preview of it on my AD Twitter if you want to see it. It's completely unanimated at this stage though, and really only contains some camera panning and zooming, plus the music. https://twitter.com/nsfw_chi/status/1605767041314566144?s=20&t=G_NsG7KxsZ33EAWRgzokbA

Now onto the 2nd announcement. I recently accepted a full-time job opportunity! I won't say exactly what it is due to privacy, but I will say it's not a creative position (it's close enough, though). I start on Tuesday, meaning progress on commissions or personal art, including my new animation, may be worked on at a slower rate than usual. I hope you understand, and I appreciate your patience!

So yes, that's pretty much all I wanted to announce for now. Thanks for sticking with me, and I hope you continue to do so. 😊

Before anyone asks, I am still completely comfortable with drawing NSFW art and have no intentions of stopping, with personal pieces or otherwise.

However, lately I've been feeling the desire to grow my YouTube channel by uploading speedpaints and such. Seeing how NSFW content can easily harm my chances to get monetized (and likely get my account disabled), it would be much more preferable for me to make more SFW content.

But the thing is, my NSFW art seems to be way more popular among patrons, so I guess one thing I can do this is increase prices for NSFW commissions, and then ask for permission from my clients to record progress on their SFW pieces to use for speedpaints.

Truth be told, I am concerned that some may find this practice rather scummy, that's why I'm always open to feedback. So let me know your thoughts, concerns, and suggestions before I go through with this decision. ^^

I got 3 cute pics in the works, plus 2 commissions I need to complete. But I also want to work more on my comic and screenplay and things like that, and then there's YouTube videos on the side.
But most importantly, I need to beat Sonic Frontiers.

Just out of curiosity, what is your favorite art piece in my gallery, and why? Would you like to see more like it?

If you were to ask me about what my favorite is, it'd probably be Jacko Chi-Chi in Mud. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43626059/
Yes, it's a niche fetish piece and yes the jacko pose is an old meme, but I just love how cute I made it. It's got my kitty boy bubbling under the mud with his little tushy and tail raised up, and his x-shaped butthole exposed for all to see...I do have a nice butt, ngl. >///<

Not to mention I've got this YCH open for sale, cuz I've really wanted to draw other characters in the same pose: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/44481646/

But anyways, let me know what your favorite pieces are in my gallery. I just want to know what other people like, and what they want to see more of.

Yeah, I'm just now finding out that's a thing that exists, apparently! If I knew beforehand I would've drawn something for the occasion, but I'm sure we'll see some other artists doing some fablulousglurbbleblub glub...bloop~ 💕

Also I'm open for RPs today, yee (but please introduce yourself first if I don't know you).

Not to surprise anyone but OMG was I crying while watching this 😂
