This is it... I'm 40 and I shall own my Mid-life Crisis.
Posted 4 weeks agoYeah... I live.
Barely, but I do.
I've been overwhelmed by extreme stress, negative thoughts and regrets by looking back at my life up until this point... I really wish I had spent the last decade a bit better. As for the last couple of years, I haven't had time to play games anymore and barely manage to finish personal work.
But let's look at the good things.
I got some art tutelage to reinforce my techniques, I started working out and I've buffed up (but I need to lock in to lose weight), I finally got myself a 3d printer and I'm going crazy with miniatures and cosplay stuff. Trying my best to distract myself and keep busy besides commissions.
So I've hit 40 in a relatively good way. I guess I can't complain much.
Hope you guys are doing good.

Long Overdue Life Update (2025)
Posted 7 months agoHi people, allow me to vent a lil' bit. It's something I've been doing a lot here lately.
I have to say I'm quite ashamed of myself.
I recently meddled with grok and it seems to believe and summarise myself as an artist struggling with self-harm as if it's something I do a lot.
I do admit to getting hot-headed and slam my desk or punch a wall, but it has never been something serious. Last time was a bit more than that since I slammed my head on the keyboard a few times, but keyboards are soft.
I did treat it as something silly to do after I cleared my head. It was very late and I have pulled an all nighter so I was very drowsy. I'm dealing with a deteriorating PC for 2 years and I have already reinstalled windows as it did get corrupted, so it is indeed frustrating.
However, grok's summary also got me to feel self-conscious. I have had gotten DMs from followers asking if I'm ok or if I am even active, drawing and posting new things. I have to apologise for I'm not good with "social media" and I tend to be more isolated in a personal life.
Still, I'd like to make it clear that I am always making new things. Drawing and writing is what I do full-time and I have been really busy lately. I have worked on private commissions that I promised not to post anywhere.
Unfortunatelly, that means I couldn't work much on personal work and end up not being able to post much anywhere besides some doodles every now and then. I understand that it makes it look like I'm not active or that I abandoned my projects, but it is inaccurate.
I have become more secretive about my works in progress and those have built up and added to an already big backlog. However I seldom give up on a project and many images I work on have been created a decade before they were finished.
I wish I have been able to stream more, but due to an increasingly unreliable PC, private work, art classes, drawings for said classes and also time dedicated to family, it has been difficult to balance all of that.
I don't post the drawings from class because they are on paper. My scanner is broken since I have focused on making digital art since 2013 and they are mostly just exercises. I have been doing those to cement my foundations and techniques since I mostly learned art by myself.
Also, lately, I've mostly posted about my worries on my country's worrisome censorship measures as they are hell-bent on persecuting political opponents of the government. I will try to not be too vocal about my country's political climate going forward as it is depressing.
Well, I think such an update on my life has been long overdue. So, once again, I apologise for keeping people in my social media accounts and galleries in the dark. I haven't gone anywhere. ironically, I can't go anywhere since I have become a shut-in for 10 years now.
For those who wonder why I don't open a Discord server... Well, that is the sort of commitment I'm really not built for. Plus, I'm not that popular anyhow and it would totally ruin my "mystique".
Believe me, I rant way too much and I'm a chatterbox, I'm absolutely obnoxious.
I hope you are all doing good and taking care of yourselves. I know I am. I have been working out and it actually got me some insight on anatomy and ideas since I have written a scenario for Lipe and Zan working out together. I just haven't decided on a story or image sequence.
I have also done much progress on new chapters for the Factory and ironing out the character hierarchy and finally settled on what I want with 2 very important characters, one of them brand new.
But, that's enough for tonight. (I told you I'm a chatterbox. |:P)

It's time to dream of better days... As far as those seem...
Posted a year ago...Dreams of Freedom, for I cannot say what I really want to say or express what I need to express.
All I ask is for courage.
For I have never thought I'd be living in a dictatorship.
I was born on the first days of a free country.
And now I live with invisible chains and a muzzle.
Surrounded by the blind and the zealots.
Too indoctrinated to see the cages closing around them.
They CHEER in mad nationalism as their jailers asure them with sweet lies while their doom is certain.
Now we will all pay the price for their ignorance.

Just wanted to say thakn you to everybody who still enjoy my art I really appreciate you horny wankers.

Whatevs question...
Posted 2 years agoI'm old... Can you guys (and maybe gals) remember when was it that you first got in contact with my art?
And what was it that that stood out about my work when you got to get more familiar with it?
What is it that kept you coming back and is there a favorite character of yours?
PS: I've disciplined myself thoroughly for using the word "whatevs". I wasn't myself when I wrote it. It won't happen again.

I'm not going anywhere...
Posted 2 years ago...But I have plans that might get me in trouble here in the future.
I don't draw Shota and Loli, but I do have characters planned for my Factory setting that might clash with the current rules: One being a flat-chested shortstack character which I don't think will clash much cuz she is considerably thicc on the hip area, but a major Villain is going to be introduced and she is an adult with a Lolita stereotype and body. It is indispensable for her character to be a lolita and I will NOT change that about her. However I might end up not having her featured here.
I also have a side-project that has a space vampire goth loli who's hundreds of years old made entirely to poke fun on the stereotype this site apparently went to war with. I won't change her too. But that is from a space adventure harem comedy side-project that I don't invest much time to currently, but like to develop it from time to time for variety's sake. Funny enough, it started with the MC being a 40yo cranky Shota scientist genius, but I abandoned that idea because of the potential headache and after I drew him aged up, I liked him better.
However... Regarding the handful of loli characters I intend to draw...
It would be appropriate to quote Studio TRIGGER....
The Loli STAYS.
I just won't post them here. Cuz I'm a law-abiding citizen. >:P
Anyway! Good time to remind people I am active in other galleries as well.
-Hentai Foundry:
https://www.hentai-foundry.com/user.....fallen/profile (one of my oldest accounts. I created it before my FA account, but didn't post as much stuff on it as I figured I could be more selective with what I post there.)
-Pixiv:
https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/1138638 (it's where I've been getting the most attention, engagement and following in the last 5-6 years... Bummer that I have to censor stuff to keep that account going. But the community is nice. Makes me wish I knew how to speak japanese to interact with my watchers.)
-NewGrounds:
https://clawofthefallen.newgrounds.com/ (Not that populated, but I upload there as much as I do on others, though it shows how my posting schedule is depressingly low)
-Twitter:
https://twitter.com/ClawOfTheFallen (NSFW, but with some videogame stuff related to NSFW stuff and some rants. With an occasional depressive and/or drugged post now and then.)
https://twitter.com/media_claw (SFW Action Figure pics, Videogames and Nerdgasming)
-Tumblr:
https://clawofthefallen.tumblr.com/ (while it is dead, there is some neat Lore written in there about my settings and characters.. Some smut survived the purge too.)
https://clawretro.tumblr.com/ (Maybe I should go back and ressurrect this account to post about videogames and Action Figures... I'll make a mental note)
FA, HF, Pxv, NG and Twitter are my main galleries as I post anything new on them at the same time. However my Twitter also has non-art stuff like videogame stuff, a bunch of rants and Action Figure Collection stuff (that I am migrating to it's own account).
Disclamers & Notes:
-My DA account is in limbo, I will not post anything new there, as long as they keep unethically exploiting their users to train their AI, but there's still some oldies there that I will keep for the sake of staking my claim on my works that were there.
-My Patreon is also in Limbo. It's there mostly as a tipjar so I can buy a meal or some coffee/hot-chocolate for me and my dad. I both have my issues with how Patreon is run, their practices, their controversies and how it all makes me wanna puke. Not only that, whatever I post there gets leaked by somebody who pays for access for a month than cancels the payment and posts the full-size images on Sankaku Complex, Rule34.xxx and other places.
-I gave up on Pillowfort however. I had almost no engagement there when people were trying to make it happen.
-While I do have a Mastodon account so I can check out some artists I dig on Baraag (Mostly andava, pumpkin sinclair, Oca and some japanese artists from pixiv that post uncensored pics on there.) and I have posted things in there (no shota or loli... I've posted the usual stuff I post anywhere else) without much engagement. I guess the demographics there require appealing to shota or loli so... I gave up on it. It's still there, but as I said before, it's mostly to follow some artists I dig.

Congrats FA. You know what you did.
Posted 2 years agoYou fucked up.
I was fine with the shota/loli ban way back when, I get it's a touchy subject and banks/payment management are not fond of being associated with it (unless you're Patreon, who actively looks the other way to real life crime unless you draw anime monster girls).
-minor sidetrack-
I used to draw a little bit of shota artwork and I was never happy with how I drew it. But what bothered me the most was the kinds of people the pieces would attract. In the end it was not worth the hassle for me and I remember that back then, you guys did not give a shit about the shota artwork I drew because "It didn't look young enough to worry. We are mostly going after what looks particularly young." (it's in the FAleaks as I contacted Dragoneer about the subject). Because I wanted to be a "law abidding citizen", follow the rules, get rid of certain unnerving interactions and take the opportunity to "clean up" my gallery a bit, I deleted the artworks myself. I'm not going to go too deep into this cuz it's a huge can of worms that I don't agree with and I'm already getting sidetracked.
-sidetrack over-
I've been an active artist on several art galleries since 2004 and I've been around many galleries, big and small.
And what you did right now reminds me of something of a cautionary tale.
I remember that many years ago, there was a little art gallery called Y!Gallery. An art gallery made exclusively for Yaoi/BL/Gay artwork. I used to have a gallery there. It was where I would post my shota artwork because that was what got me attention there. I would repost them on FA back then as well (you guys never gave much if a shit until it hit you in the wallets).
They were infamous for 2 things: An insufferably fragile moderation staff and an inconsistent terms of service with very specific and extremely restrictive rules mostly reflecting the very specific tastes of the moderation team. Those rules were enforced with extreme prejudice and getting instantly suspended was a common occurence. IT WAS NOT FUN TO INVEST ON THAT SITE.
I remember my favorite nonsensical shit about those days.
-Any and all depiction of women of any age, shape or form was strictly forbidden. Some leeway would be given only if they weren't the subject or interacted with the subject of an image, but that image would ONLY be tolerated on the scraps section. Not even a picture of a woman in the background was tolerated. Any allusion or shape that could be perceived as a vagina would get you banned.
-Any and all depictions of animals real or fictional were forbidden in any context.
-Furry and Anthropomorphic characters were tolerated, then banned for years, then tolerated again, but only if characters had human penises.
-Because of the ban on animals real and fictional, tentacles are only allowed AS LONG AS IT'S "DEPICTED FROM THE FORMLESS VOID" (a shit way to say "from off canvas") and they could only be of a basic form or the form of a penis. Any other was an instant suspension.
But the most infamous of them all was the "Hourglass Figure ban" that, in the advent of the "femboy" character type, it did not please the strict tastes of the very insufferable staff, who swiftly added this to prevent the posting of any male character with any sort of features perceived to be feminine.
Many japanese artists tried interacting with the site, with accounts and posts... Almost all of them got banned. Among them Po-Ju himself. THE GUY that popularized femboys as people recognize today. (I'm REALLY holding back on a related rant about the "femboy" problem)
Point is... The experience on that site was MISERABLE because of it's arbirtrary rules that did not encourage creativity, but restricted it's users. All of these rules, like how you're doing right now, were retroactive and more and more people would get suspended and banned out of the blue because of a change that happened on a weekly basis, some retracted because of backlash.
You're going the same route of that site.
Saying "This change is well received" and not allowing discourse is just as good as a Y!gallery's good ol' dictates.
And here's the kicker...
This is the WORST time for you to go full asshole.
We are on the doorstep of an era where any idiot with an internet connection can generate GIGABYTES of realistic shota and loli images using the pictures an entire generation of real people uploaded to social media as models. We're on the verge of something WAY more nightmarish than fucking googly eyed 2d images of an "1000 year old loli" anime girl or boy that has no relation to anybody alive. STOP CARING ABOUT THE VIRTUAL RIGHTS OF THINGS THAT DO NOT EXIST! SPECIALLY NOW THAT EVERYBODY AND EVERY ONE IN REAL LIFE CAN BE SEXUALIZED REGARDLESS OF FUCKING AGE!
You're one of the very few places that actually said "NO" to AI and It's not really a good time to dictate restrictive rules on the very few people that are STICKING with your extremely niche site that everybody and their grandma already makes fun of because it's a FURRY site.
No matter how you slice it. This ain't it. And doubling down will only get you the way of the Y!Gallery dodo.
You intended to get rid of a loophole and pretend you were doing something noble, but you created an exploit to restrict artist in the worst time possible.
Really bad move.
PS: My condolences to any adult woman who happen to be short and flatchested. You always get the short end of the stick in life. (Even worse if you're a lesbian, the lowest in the food chain though you're the first letter in the damn lettersoup.)
PPS: No, I'm not apologizing for the last quip or any single word I just wrote.
PPPS: I'm still sickened and haunted by the shit I see in places like Sankaku Complex and Pixiv (and any other place that allows AI to be posted). People generating AI CP claiming it's art and promoting themselves on discord, fantia, patreon and asking for crypto to keep producing more. AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT. I had writen huge rants of this as it has been depressing me to no end, but AIstans don't give a shit, they want the world to burn.

Posted 2 years agoIt's not just about AI art, that can suck a dick. It won't take away my very real skills.
I've streamed a couple of times in the last couple of days, a Lipe & Zan pic is turning out really great and it was keeping me a bit happy when I worked on it. Though during intervals of severe depression.
Regardless, I'm drugged up enough on sleeping pills so my inhibitions are lowered and this means I'm also a bit more emotional...
What is it about my art that you guys like? What is it that I do that you guys like? What makes my contribution to fap material that makes it special?
Any of you guys or gals ever really cared about the lore stuff, the details, the background story building up?
Please cheer me up a bit, cuz when I wake up sober tomorrow, I'll forget I wrote this (that I wouldn't write when sober) and hopefully feel a bit better about myself.
Drugged Claw asking you guys to do Sober Claw a solid. ;P
Good night or good morning to everyone!
PS: It's 21:49 of the next day and I'm SO DAMN FUCKING embarassed! XD

Posted 3 years agoIt wasn't a suicide thing. Well, sorta... but not quite.
Due to a bunch of crap I've been dealing with for the last 2 years I've been considering giving up art altogether. So in a way it's suicide, career suicide.
I hate drama, I try to avoid it from others and I don't wish my own drama onto others. So I don't like discussing my own problems publicly.
But now I have to explain shit cuz my metaphor got interpreted as very dark (I don't blame you, now that I'm sober, it was very cringe). I had a very stressful stream last night, after spending a whole hour trying to get OBS to work and my graphics card to play nice with it just so my, now very old, iPad and stylus being bitches to me, not allowing me to do precise work after months of inactivity. That inactivity and unproductivity makes me feel useless and like what I do is pointless and meaningless. So it got me extremely pissed off to the point of going to bed early and sleep it off. The sleeping pills and downers I take to be able to sleep must have gotten me to write the very emo "metaphorical journal" last night. It does make me "drunk", lowers my inhibitions, makes me more emotional and prone to doing shit I wouldn't do sober and forget about it until I see that I did some cringe the morning after.
In the last month I've been rebuilding my pc because Windows 10 happened to corrupt itself and I had to reinstall it, almost lost a lot of my shit (including artwork), but at the end I restored almost everything since these problems have been reccurent and I keep everything (except cloud stuff) on external hard drives (with backups of cloud stuff). I've had a string of several very stressful real life crises for the last 2 years with family issues, hardware issues and that have affected my work (you guys can see my posts were reduced to a single finished image a year) getting me even more behind my own very cluttered schedule. I had done sketch commissions to help me recoup some money from a scam I fell for last year, I also managed to get back on the green to the point of being able to return the money to a couple of commissioners because I was taking way too long to get to their images.
I had considered making a discord server to keep touch with fans, but yeah, I don't think it's wise to invite such chaos into my life nor I have the mental fortitude to moderate such potential insanity. I'm not a fan of social media and barely tolerate having a twitter account.
Getting sidetracked... OK, so... Allow me to be uncomfortably (if not morbidly) honest cuz I won't lie that "suicidal ideation" is a thing I deal with and can't help cuz it comes with the anxiety/depression combo. Yes I've gone to a couple of therapists, both were shit, one of them got me dependent on drugs and didn't help me at all with my problems. Still, rest assured I won't kill myself. I have too much shit. Not joking. Morbid to say, but yeah.
Anyway, thanks for the kind comments from the last journal, but I deleted that journal. I'm ashamed of very few things in life. The occasional emo moments fuelled by prescription drugs, that I wish I wasn't dependent on, is one of those things.
tl;dr: I just think I'm having a mid-life crisis. Disatisfied with my work, with my skills, where I am in life at my age + dealing with a lot of shit for the last 2 years and being very unproductive creatively.
Sorry for the drama, I hate it and I hate my drugged self for letting that bleed out.

Pixiv account restored
Posted 3 years agoDeleted the reported images since they do NOT support you getting a free trial of their mandatory subscription to be able to EDIT the files you post like any other NORMAL gallery all over the world. Thankfully those were old images that are posted here anyway.
Took the opportunity to get a free trial month of their subscription to replace the other images cuz somebody in their staff was vulturing my gallery. As I was editing things and replacing them, other 4 images got reported that were being replaced IN THAT INSTANT.
Anyway, they got no more heat on me and I can still link to my other galleries where there's no censorship.

Suspended on Pixiv (temporarily?) -Mini-Rant-
Posted 3 years agoOk so, I got my gallery suspended on Pixiv. I can still access it, view stuff and fave works, however all my works are invisible.
I got this message that 4 of my works (furry pics posted 9 years ago) were uncensored and for it my account was suspended.
Full disclosure is that 9 years ago I didn't give a rat's ass about Pixiv cuz my engagement there was basically non-existent and my follower count was minimal, so I wouldn't give a shit about posting censored art out of principle. (I won't be a hypocrite cuz Japan's obscenity laws are a joke all over the world and it's an even bigger joke when you get to know the history of why that law exists.)
As of a couple of years ago, for some reason I'm not aware of (I can't read or write japanese to ask around), my pixiv account exploded and I started to get a shit ton of watchers daily. It got to the point where my follower count multiplied and now it's almost at 5k. So, since a decent number of people started to follow my work there, I started to censor my work while still linking to my other galleries where the image was uncensored. (so yeah, I'm still no hypocrite.)
However, then comes a problem. Previous work can't be edited. Pixiv PAYGATES the ability to CHANGE the file of a post. Outright madness. Not a single other art gallery site anywhere in the WORLD does this.
For these many years I have accumulated a few reports where my pics were made invisible cuz some mod took it down for being uncensored. That was actually to my advantage because those reports would provide me a LINK to replace the image without me having to pay for a month of Premium Membership. I replaced every image with censored versions (and added links to their counterparts in other galleries). Unfortunatelly, I still couldn't do the same with other older images that STILL required me to PAY to replace them. So it's not like I didn't expect this outcome.
I dunno how long this is going to last (week(s)? month(s)?) regardless, This is just an opportunity for me to rant about how backwards Pixiv as a site and how it works is.
As much as I got thousands of followers there (most of them with westernized names, but still many proper japanese people including artists I'm a super fan of) I don't get much engagement besides a lot of faves, which are still very appreciated. I mean, I don't really expect the japanese to know english just so they can comment on my work, though I do insist on attempting to use google translate to leave a nice message on the description or even try to have dialogue translated (for the sake of accessibility) as well as making a big list of tags in japanese so it's easier for japanese users to find my work. While I find their obscenity law idiotic, I still have respect for them as users.
Anyway, I contacted pixiv regarding the issue and telling them that I have been censoring my work to fit their terms of service (though not telling them this specific law is pathetic out of being polite, while I do reserve my right to express my distaste for it in public.).
All I can do now is wait and see how long this lasts as I am willing (though not without protest) to censor my previous works to conform to that site and void this annoyance in the future. (It's not like I posted anything exclusive there, anyway. I just want my work to be enjoyed by as many people that dig the genres I contribute to as possible.)

I have been scammed...
Posted 4 years agoI have attempted to buy a PS5 from what I thought was a legit store selling it at normal retail price and not scalping... But it turned out to be a scam and I just lost R$3.68k Brazilian (700 dollars). It hurt me really bad and I have tried every avenue... I contacted the bank, contested the payment and even openned a police report about it... All for nothing as the bank decided to judge unfavorable to my case and will not refund my losses.
So... Now I have to do something myself since the state and my bank told me to fuck off and take a hike.
I'll be open for sketch commissions this week for $30 a character (+$10 for extra char and additional $10 for flat coloring).
I wanna try and regain some of the money I lost on that scam recently.
Feel free to grab a spot and we'll discuss the sketch on PMs. I divilged this on twitter, however I will offer a $10 discount for orders by my patrons.
Please dont hesitate to PM me.

Happy 2020 + Patreon rework and art flood!
Posted 5 years agoHappy 2020 everyone!
I hope you guys have a magnificent new decade with lots of prosperity, happiness and magnificent goals.
Now...
Here are some changes to come with the new decade!
I decided to rework how I'll post things here and reworked the Tiers.
-
Tier 1 will be able to see Finished Pics.
-
Tier 2 will be able to see Finished Pics 1-week earlier than Tier 1
Tier 2 will also be able to see wips and concept art made of modern pics.
-
But that's not all as a NEW 3rd Tier was added: "The Factory Employee".
This new tier will have deeper access into the Factory Database and will have access to Fullsize finished pics pre-2016 as well as concept art and wips of this period.
Of course, Tier 3 will have all perks from Tier 1 and 2 by default.
-
2020 is a brand new decade and it's time to start it well, I know I have faltered with you before because I am super insecure about formatting and depression often gets me to think I don't deserve you guys. But at the very least I am bound to make an effort to return your love for my art.
-
I hope you all have an awesome new decade full of possibilities and wonderment.

A NEW GOAL!
Posted 9 years agoMy 6yo PC is dieing... windows doesn’t shut down unless you hard reboot it, there are already tons of windows errors that I can’t fix fucking it up. My memory is down to 30% capacity and can barely stream a single monitor with severe lag. Windows won’t even update itself properly and in turn doesn’t let me configure or install programs on it like zBrush and my Adobe Collection.
I can barelly run games from last generation in it at <30fps on 720p on medium settings. I struggle to keep up with my Tenno brothers and sisters. And I even struggle at overwatch... =_=;
All of this instability and underpowered hardware has been keeping me from doing hard work on it fore a long time. I barelly manage to get emulators or indies running on it.
I’m in dire need of a new PC and that has been the plan of investmetn as soon as I got the cintiq. The Cintiq is here. so now it’s time for Phase-II!
And Phase-II is gonna cost me R$9K brazilian reals.
By current customs exchange, that would be...
US$2.653,07
For the next 3 months... I’ll be focusing on commission work ONLY.
Any and all commission requests are welcome. I know I’m a very complicated artist when it comes to social media, but I’m reaching out for a good cause.
Do look forward for more Livestreams. Don’t hesitate on contacting me through e-mail (clawofthefallen@hotmail.com) so we can discuss ideas, rates and prices.
I’m even accepting donations through my patreon. If all who like my art in galleries, imageboards, forums and whatnot would only give me a single dollar a month. You guys would emancipate me and I would be able to pay this AND live off of drawing for as long as I hold breath.
I haven’t really grasped the concept that Patreon is and I’m very inexperienced with promoting myself... But every little helps.
And I already thank you who managed to read this letter of mine... Adressed to you who enjoy my work and has faith in the setting and characters I’ve created...
So again... Thank you for your attention!
And may you faps fap you towards nirvana.

DON'Ts:
-Guro without context
-Scat
-Watersports*
-Vore**
-Cockvore/Vagvore and what-not.
-Macro/Micro
-Hyper
-Balooning
-Fattening
-Absorption
-Toddler
-Dieper/Baby Fetish
-Others... Ask if your fetish is "quite uncoventional".
*I do not consider female ejaculation or squirting as watersports, so that's ok.
**On this subject, I am ok with what the japanese call "meat wall". A form of light-vore without digestion that is about tentarape while inside a meaty cave, of sorts, that can have context of the inside of a creature.

Work Ethic, Conditions and Agreement: (extremely important)
-I don't set deadlines. My creative process takes time, sometimes things do not go as planned and I have a busy life outside my art.
-Don't pressure me to work on your picture or hassle me about it's progress too often.
-I reserve the right to give up on an assignment on the grounds of higher power (college/work/life), abuse (pressure, threat, hassling, stalking, emotional blackmail, etc...), things not working out (Taking too long to finish, start working or the work not being of satisfaction. In short, a piece becoming a source of frustration. It happens). In all cases, if deposit has been payed, it will be refunded.
-I reserve the right to refuse service on grounds similar to the above. Again, if an assignment was agreed uppon and the initial 50% deposit has been payed, it will be refunded.
-I reserve the right to post works I do on my galleries and/or blogs. Commission credit will be given to commissioner.
-I reserve the right to tag "(name of character) © ClawOfTheFallen" if a character of my authorship is involved in a picture. Your character will be tagged to give you credit as well.
Lastly...
-I reserve the right to not like drawing tons of fluffy tails and/or feathery wings. (be nice. ;A;)
All this being said, I will accept work on the basis that, prior to contact, the commissioner had this information fully read, with the terms being understood and agreed by the same.

What if I made a patreon account?
Posted 9 years agoWhat would you say to that?
I mean, my idea is to give patrons access to full-size images, sketch versions, making-of videos, etc... Mostly extra goodies.
