As always, thank you to all of those who submitted and to all those who didn't too for the ongoing support. I expect to open my form again in a couple of months time.

I will aim to contact applicants soon and send out invoices to those who are successful.

Take care of yourselves and take care of each other.

As always, thank you to all of those who submitted and to all those who didn't too for the ongoing support. I expect to open my form again at the end of next month as I will likely be moving house in July.

I will aim to contact applicants by the 8th June and send out invoices to those who are successful.

Take care of yourselves and take care of each other.

Apologies for the lack of update in regards to my commission form.

I will be moving house within the next few weeks so I'd rather not take on new commissions until I am sure of a date and can guarantee a better work schedule. I will be taking standby commissions to tide me over.

Next general Commission Opening is now estimated to be late August.

Also, my phone is in need of replacement so I won't be able to check my social media as frequently until my new one arrives at the end of the week. I've been busy backing up all of my data.

I should have a more stable work setup again soon, thank you for bearing with me through the turbulence.

Next commission opening will be on the 22nd to the 27th July!

I anticipate opening my commission form on the 22nd this month at around midday BST until the 27th. Submissions of all kinds will be welcome! Do contact me to discuss any ideas, or for a quote, if you need to.

My form for February 2020 commission slots is now closed! Thank you to everyone who submitted an idea this month. I will be in touch shortly to confirm slots.

You can expect me to open again at the end of February so if you missed out this time there isn't too long a wait.

My commission form is now closed. I will be contacting everyone today and tomorrow to allocate slots.

I will post later in October to announce when I plan to next open but it should be in November. This will be after my queue is clear and I can take all fresh new orders, including larger pieces.

This month, I will be streaming every available Saturday at 19:00 (UTC) for approximately 2 hours over on TWITCH. There is also a bonus stream scheduled to experiment with possible new formats.

COMMISSION FORM CLOSED!

My commission form is now closed, a day late! Oops! Thank you, as always, to everyone who submitted. I will be contacting everyone today to allocate slots.

I will be aiming to open commissions again in early June so keep an eye out then if you are looking to commission me for a larger piece.

This month, I will be STREAMING EVERY SATURDAY at 19:00 (UTC) for approximately 2 hours over on TWITCH.

Monthly stream schedule:
Sat 13th April 19:00-21:00
Sat 20th April 19:00-21:00
Sat 27th April 19:00-21:00

I stream on TWITCH. You can find and follow me there:

https://www.twitch.tv/clawdore

I have wanted to start streaming to a set schedule for a long while now where I stream for two hours once a week at the same time every week, when I can. I will be working on personal art and possibly commissions. These streams will be open to everyone.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to stream at a time that suits everyone so I'm going to stick with a time that has received the most votes and works well for me for the time being. Depending on how popular and active streams are I may alternate weekly to give more people a chance to join. I am a bit anxious about streaming so bare with me as I get used to the format.

I intend to work on designing my fursona, Clawdore, in the upcoming streams as well as work on formatting art for my Patreon to get it ready for launch and possibly commission work. I will also be taking in stream PWYW slots in the future.

I look forward to seeing some of you there. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for streams once they start up and I will do my best to improve the experience.

Catch you all soon!

PWYW digital commissions now CLOSED!

Examples can be seen in my PWYW gallery folder:
http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/.....er/606462/PWYW

I will aim to finish all PWYW slots before February in between other commissions.

COMMISSION FORM CLOSED!

Thank you to everyone who submitted. I should have already contacted you.

Keep an eye out for a journal post on the 23rd February for when I open again for March slots.

If you would like to commission me then please follow this account for journal updates. I will be aiming to open for commissions at the end of every month whenever possible.

Terrible title but should be a good new theme for my November daily draws.

I have just returned from Scotiacon and have the first four ready to post soon.

I hope you all look forward to a dragon a day this month!

Edit: Also, all daily drawing will be for sale for £20 each (plus postage) to whoever grabs them first! Just note me if you're interested in grabbing one.

I have successfully completed the Inktober challenge!

It's been such a fun and inspiring journey setting time aside every night to work on these pictures and, although not all of them turned out as well as I'd like, I'm so glad I completed them all. Being able to accept a perceived failure and move on to the next day as a fresh start has been so refreshing.

It's also been great to just draw with no strong pre-planning or direction and see what happens on the paper and get in touch with traditional media again.

Thank you everyone who has followed this month and enjoyed the pieces silently or given me feedback. I appreciate it very much and feel I want to carry on something like this now that October has ended.

I will be off to Scotiacon today and will see how I feel about doing more of these while I'm away. Otherwise, expect me to think of a new approach to this daily draw when I return.

Also, I will be selling every Inktober piece I have completed for £20 each (plus postage) for the original work. If you're interested in buying any of them then send me a pm and we'll figure something out! I'll be taking them all to Scotiacon with me and once one is gone then it's gone.

I now have a new installation of Windows 10 running off an SSD and all the basics set up and ready to go! I have even upgraded to Photoshop CC 2019, so hopefully it won't be too strong of a learning curve to get stuck in to tomorrow.

You've probably noticed that I've not been posting my Inktober sketches. I have still been doing them daily but had no way to acquire a high quality scan. I will be scanning and uploading them soon.

Just to confirm, everything should now be resolved, with a great boost to performance on top, and I plan to get some digital commission work completed tomorrow and the 28th before I leave to do some hiking with a friend and then head off to Scotia con.

I will be back to work full time on the 7th November and will be prioritising any commissions from this month first. If you have an ongoing commission/claimed a slot for November then I will be in touch around that time to confirm details and send out invoices.

Thank you all for bearing with me and for the technological wellwishes! I'm glad to finally have this much needed system upgrade now in place.

An important update for anyone hoping to commission me at the end of the month/waiting on a commission:

I have some unfortunate news to share; I've been coasting by on a rather unreliable desktop set up for over a year now with a corrupted Windows OS, that I have been putting off restoring, and a harddrive disk that's bursting at the seams.

I believe Windows has finally run into a fatal error that has caused some very odd occurrences within the OS, any programs I run and any peripheral devices I have plugged into my PC.

This means I cannot work until I have sorted this mess out, which I am getting started on right now.

I'll likely have to order a new harddrive and reinstall Windows so I doubt I will be able to work for a couple of days, at least, while I diagnose and fix this.

This means that any commissions that overflow from this month into next will have priority and I will likely not be opening for commissions at the beginning of November as planned.

Please bear with me while I sort this out and I will be sure to keep you all updated with progress. I'm hoping I can manage a quick fix without having to replace any hardware but this has been coming for a long while now so I fear the worse.

Please stand by!

COMMISSION FORM is now CLOSED!

If you would like to commission me then please follow this account for journal updates. I will be aiming to open for commissions at the end of every month whenever possible.

Hello all, just a quick catch up on commission progress, the next two months and when I plan to open again.

As some of you know, I have been ill on and off over the last month (and am again right now) and so am a bit behind on commission progress but am working my hardest between conventions to get work out to everyone in as timely a manner as I can manage. I am aiming to get most work done before the end of July but some will likely run over at this point.

On the subject of July; I have a convention from the 12th to the 16th July and then am on holiday in Tanzania from the 17th July to the 4th August. I understand that this isn't great timing as I am behind on work but please be patient with me as I will be back to work as soon as I can after I get home from this trip. I may be difficult to contact during this time so apologies in advance for that.

So when am I opening commissions again? Should all go to plan with travels and my work schedule then I should be ready to open commission slots again at the end of August/beginning of September. I am not looking to take a large influx of work when I next open so keep that in mind. I will be aiming to take a month's worth of work at a time and err towards less if I'm unsure of the workload. I am hoping to do more collaborative and personal work too so general commissions will be limited.

As always, thank you all for your patience and support. I hope to work with you soon!

Thank you everyone who submitted for my next commission batch and I will be in touch with you all soon.

I am not sure when i will next be taking commissions but, due to conventions, it likely won't be until August now.

COMMISSION FORM OPEN!

Hello again, everyone! It's now officially the 18th in the UK and thus I am excited to announce that my commissions are now open for submissions! Please also check out the special commissions that I have available for you this time.

GENERAL COMMISSIONS::

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....rm?usp=sf_link

My general commission form for May-June is now OPEN until the 30th April!

You can find the form by following the link:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....rm?usp=sf_link

Please read it carefully and ask if you have any questions. This is the first time I am using a form so I will no doubt be revising things and trying to improve the whole process for you all in the future. This means I need your feedback if you run into any problems.

All information on this upcoming commission batch is available in the form from subject matter to mature content, deadlines and payment.

SPECIAL COMMISSIONS::

I have a LIMITED NUMBER of SPECIAL COMMISSION SLOTS for this next batch of commissions. To claim a special commission slot you need only comment on this journal. These commissions are claimed on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE basis so be quick if you are interested!

Experimental Flat Illustrations:

FOUR SLOTS: £25 flat rate

Examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26980108/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26980159/

Any character, any simple background; same price.

Experimental Bust Paints:

THREE SLOTS: £40 flat rate

Examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26980074/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26980083/

Any character, simple background; same price.

AFTERWARD::

PLEASE DO NOT NOTE ME to reserve a general commission slot. I will just link you to the form and it will be much easier if you follow the link to the form in the first place. However, please do message me if you are confused about anything and I will be happy to help.

I will be taking on as many commissions as I can fit in for this next month. I have a lot of conventions this summer and so won't be able to take on as many commissions or open as frequently but this should hopefully change at the end of the year.

Thank you everyone for your patience. Good luck!

Hey everyone,

Firstly, apologies for my lack of activity for months and then the sudden burst of uploads. I intend to keep posting here more frequently from now on.

For those of you who don't know, I am very active on Telegram and have an art channel on there that I post in frequently. If you are on Telegram then you can message me [@]clawdore if you have any questions about my work, or can follow my channels:
[@]clawdorecommissions for commission announcements
[@]clawdoreart for frequent art updates

So, on to the matter at hand: commission information. Up until this point, I have been taking constant commissions through direct messages. This is currently becoming an unmanageable system as I lose track of references and delegate myself too much work and so I am at a point where I feel I need to introduce an announcement system for opening and closing commissions and limiting slots. So onto the announcement:

My COMMISSION SUBMISSION form (for May-June) will OPEN on the 18th APRIL and will be open until the 30th APRIL!

These submissions will be taken by Google form submissions. I will post a journal when I open with a link to the form so you just need to keep an eye out. If you would like to claim a slot in my next commission batch then please keep an eye out for the form. Submissions will not be taken on a first come, first served basis so there is no need to rush your submission. Instead, I encourage you to think carefully and fill the form in as accurately as you can.

If you do miss out on this batch then not to worry! I aim to take less commissions per batch with the aim of opening more frequently, delivering faster and giving myself more flexibility in terms of other projects and what I can offer you all (such as crafts, YCHs, adopts, personal projects and development, etc).

As well as opening general commissions I shall also open for LIMITED SPECIAL COMMISSION SLOTS that will vary from batch to batch. These slots will be taken on a first come, first served basis and those that get a slot will be guaranteed a place. I will explain more about this process in the journal when I open. These special slots will be intended for me to work on something that I want to focus on and will usually be a bit cheaper than the equivalent standard commissions. They are also intended to add a bit of variety and fun to what I can offer you!

Please note that I have also added to my commission information section.

So that's all. Thank you for being patient with me and I hope to work with some of you soon!

Hello all,

I'm just posting to let you all know that I have created an account on Picarto and plan to start streaming my digital work intermittantly. There will be no schedule as of yet but I am hoping to aim towards at least one scheduled stream a fortnight at some point. For now if you want to be notified of my streams then do folllow me on my account:

Clawdore on Picarto

I have already participated in a multi-stream with some fellow artist friends mentioned below.

Thank you:

 RogueOfAmegakure

 Rynozerus

 Monsieur-Dragon

for the push I needed to finally start streaming.

Take care all.

For those of you viewing, or watching, my page, I just wanted to let you all know that I have recently decided to become active on FurAffinity and am therefore bringing my gallery up to date. I have quite a lot of artwork to submit, which I will be doing throughout this day.

This is the only time I will create such a large influx of submissions to my gallery (except, perhaps, if I ever have a large back up of comic pages to submit).

Thank you for reading and I hope this doesn't cause too much annoyance.
