This month I am taking a little break from work, for the most part I have taken a step back from blender, Photoshop, unity and all those other programs to unwind and remedy the burn out that I have been feeling. This is not just from my artwork but other problems here at home. I want to take things slow so I don't have any thoughts on particular projects I might work on this month, though I am taking this week off and will do some light setups for projects next week. for the last half of the month I aim to finish strong when I feel less burnt :>

As far as what I want to do with my work thus far, I might for the third time abandon this toon style I have been trying. This is mostly because I wanted to work on the toon stuff for animations purposes however since it means working on two sets of models it is just taking to much time to work on both these realistic looking ones and toon ones. This takes away time I could spend on animation practice and work, not to mention that I really really really want to start drawing again. Focusing on this rather challenging task of making a good toon shader kin to beastars is simply just too much for me!

anyway, just a heads up if you don't see any work early in the month!

I have a few ideas planned for this month that I would love some feed back in. Well, ever since I switched off of blender to try to work in other programs it has become very difficult to share complete 3D files, so I want to return to completely working in blender BUT I really want to have a try at toon like models once more! not only would this make whole files of workable models available for patrons but it would make animation a lot less of a hassle. I am still struggling to figure out what sort of style I should go for but for the most part the WOW art style is giving me some inspiration as well as beastars. I did try to do this before in Maya but things were a little difficult, to me it seems like I have a better chance with blender. my aim anyway, is for simple but elegant and pretty stylized models.

beyond that major aim, I will continue to experiment in unity, for the most part I want to render my new arkkin model in there but also work on more giant models for those interested in that type of art. those will of course be free side projects. I plan to make big animals hugging planets :>

I REALLY want to apologize for the lack of variety, I have been for the most part trying new things with animation and unity and have had little time to set up other models besides felines and canines.

I would love to hear any thoughts watchers or patrons might have so feel free to shout!

having one model in a blank room with a simple couch or other piece of furniture is nice. There is something appealing to that simplicity, but recently I have been delving into environment design in unity and was thinking to step up work on backgrounds at least a little.

With the recent venture into simple animations and now environment design, what worries me most is that it will take up my time making any new characters for a while. I simply want to listen to my watchers thoughts on working on still renders of my characters in interesting environments. in particular. would you all be happy seeing less new models for a while until I can come up with a good outdoor/indoor settings? I will stick to my female wolf and 2 large cats as my main models for the most part while I work on these new projects but will try to introduce my male wolf in the process. its a big endeavor as I have to learn the ropes a little more as I go. it is likely I will not have any new models (besides the male wolf) untill the end of the year.

what are your thoughts?

On the bottom of my page description you will now find pricing information for commissions. I updated pricing to be more direct, I am also open to painted pinup commissions now! leave a question here if interested or note me.

Hello everyone! I have decided that I will begin to start accepting 3D Art commissions. This means Furry and Anthro pinups! There will be two options for renders that I plan on doing. You will also have the choice of either Maya or Blender based projects, included with a pose and all the files and textures. The first type of renders will be a more tony sort with textures as a substitute for physical fur rendering. These are great for workable animations and posing, as well as for use in assets for games. The costs will run from 600.00 USD to 900.00 USD relying upon the unpredictability of the request, however, if the requested model is extremely basic costs will be weighed accordingly. The second kind of renders will be fully furred renders, these are typically less workable do to the fur count and not the best for animation or posing but are more realistic and intended as more of an art piece rather than an asset. These will ordinarily extend from 1500.00 USD to 2000.00 USD, do to the measure of work they demand.

There will also be a 25% down payment, and a simple payment plan for those that can't afford the price out right.

I have been working a lot more on my cosmic dragon creature as of late and thought I would try to make it a communal species that people can adopt as a character.

The Arkkin is a open species so if anyone is interested in the creature I don't mind if they draw and sell pictures and such, however! I thought I would put the Arkkins that I create, (both in art and concept) up for adoption, this would just provide you with a link on my page with the sort of arkkin you adopt. Whenever I pose said Arkkin in a render or painting il also tag you in the image and you can add that image too your gallery.

https://tinyurl.com/yx3e5hvn this is the only Arkkin I am making available for adoption for now. if you are interested in the creature and the lore that comes with it let me know! just leave a comment on this journal with any questions you might have. those interested in the creature as well as the lore have a chance of getting it!

2D animation! I want to start learning 2D animation to make simple loops. I am going to be using a program I am familiar with (blender). I am thinking I can enjoy using a 3D program and still practice my 2D skills more this way.

I also plan on switching back to blender to do most of my 3D renders, I don't want to focus on any new models this year and instead fixing the ones I already have made and making them better. the only new model I have planed is the Arkkin as I want to work on a more dragon like creature. if I get inspired I might work on a new character but for the moment, I don't have any plans.

Happy new year!

I made a new open club and discord! check it out.

Im back and connected and moved to a new location, for GOOD this time! I am still settling in to this new location and there is plenty of work to do in my new home. its a bit of a fixer upper.

at the very least I am connected and free to work. During the move I had some time to consider some future plans. for the the near future, I am planning to work on a new 3D model. this one is going to be a female Cabit Cat_rabbit. I plan to work on this project on the side as I work on my current painting (skunk/racoon duo) as well a trio concept sketch of my Arkkin species that I might paint. These projects I plan to stream, for freaking FREE! In addition whenever I stream I will also be taking any questions, these can be about technique, technical questions, future projects or anything in between.

As for further in the future, I plan to learn 3D animation! Not sure if I should learn Maya or blender though. I have to think on it, and more importantly see if anyway is interested enough for me to take some time going to "school" but please let me know if anyone is interested! I might start something next year.

Prints still open!/I have my own small format printer!


A reminder that prints are ALWAYS open, Just send me a message and I will give you all the info!



25$ + 1.50 shipping for small prints. 8.5x11 (using the printer I have for that)

85$ + 5 shipping for large prints, (gotta use another printer for that)

message for more info! nude or censored artworks available!

Also if you had a problem with any prints that you ordered, let me know!

After a mishap upgrading my drive I lost all the data in my HDD. not to fret! my work is backed up, but i am still in the process of trying to fix my computer and also restoring all my lost programs and presets.

I really wanted to finish one last image for the end of the month but this unforeseen problem kinda bonked that in the head.

im interested in working With 2D art again, namely I want to complete a set for this guy. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/27829871/

First fenneko and then retsuko. I want to experiment with the same style I used with Haida.

Happy Holidays!

I have learned quite a few things since I started 3D work, enough to see the sloppy designs in my current models toplologies, many things that make work not just less appealing but give more troubles. Among many mistakes the largest being how I made the paw-pads as a different object instead of just part of the same mesh as the body. Not only does this make things more of a hassle to work with when I have to pose, but it also makes the hand/foot paws look not so nice, and nice paw beans are important for a nice creature!

so to fix this I don't have to necessarily start from a cube and make my models anew but I do have to sculpt better paws and hands and all around better topology for a better work flow in general. this means New UV's, new textures, and re grooming the fur. so this week, I am going to spend time fixing all my old meshes, but also working on a new meshes such as a raccoon base and even toed ungulate base. I will be posting them as WIP's and put up a poll for what mesh you all want to see turned into a whole project.

So in short not really devoting time to a full project, just getting the bases for everything ready.

any questions or suggestions for projects? please share!

My fund raiser for my computer upgrades are half way there. I want to make it clear that not only do I plan to make multiple species to pose in super fancy artsy fartsy ways for everyone to enjoy. but all models and blender files once completely finished will be available for FREE download!

Check out one of my works http://www.furaffinity.net/view/27601494/

much more to come, I am already working on a jaguar, and have the mesh for a lion/tiger done as well as a bear mesh thats in WIP. Its very hard to work on anything at the moment as I crash 70% so if you want to see more work soon consider donating!

Thank you!

Here is a link to my go fund me! would love any help I can get! thanks for all the support.

My new interest in 3D modeling and artwork has been growing, but my machine has hit the roof. I tend to not mind the often slow and stuttering work flow I have been getting, but it has reached the point where my computer just quits and often times I lose progress as well as time.

I want to make a fundraiser for new computer parts to fix these troubles. A good CPU and GPU will do. I aim for a goal 1000$ together with my savings to pay for something high end to help with rendering. before I start the fundraiser I want to gauge interest, but also post another more provactive render to show what I can do. that's coming soon.

Any way please let me know what you think!

I picked up a long lost and found long lost again and found again, interest in 3D work . I have been working in Zbrush and blender primarily as my pipeline of choice and hope to eventually create awesome fully furred and realistic models. That is my plan anyway, I am mostly interested in sculpting texturing and adding fur, but to save time for my 2D artwork I am hoping to find some one else that works on blender in this community to help me out with rigging and posing.

I have many ambitions for 3D work so far, but for now I am slowly working my way to learning the basics, though I already have some things ready to work on, Il pose those here every now and then as scraps.

If any blender user is interested in helping me out with rigging and posing or would be interested in working with me in general let me know!

Just a reminder that I do species/pose and other polls on patreon that are free and open to the public for any one to vote!

Just want to thank all my watchers and patrons, thanks to all of you I was able to finally, after a long time coming, get a licence and afford myself a good car. patreon and my supporters early on have been a steady—and about my only—source of livelihood for me and I incredibly grateful.

Just wanted this to give a little thanks to relieve some butterflies.

I had enough time to think about where I want to take my artwork and I decided I want to stick with that level of ambiguity. I considered the idea of working with different levels of anthropomorphism but I personally find it more intriguing in every sense to work with more animalistic forms. So what is to be expected? Well it's been said, semi feral/anthro creatures. I want to blur the lines between very anthro and feral that means very often no large breasts (an exception for the ursine species) and as I like to put it: Feral vertical proportions with more anthropomorphic lateral ones. This means from profile the models should be almost unmistakable from there animal counterparts except for a slightly larger rear, but from a frontal view larger hips, tighter cores, and wider more dexterous shoulders should give away the anthropomorphism. Another thing I want to add is that even though I enjoy making my content erotic in nature, I do wish to work on less suggestive nudes as well.

I just wanted to make it clear for any followers and supporters that wish to stick to watching my work progress.

Thank you!!!

I have had one complaint about the way my work has changed overtime but it's a complaint that I think some others might feel aswell so I would like to listen to my followers. the concern I read about was that my artwork has turned from anthropomorphic too a much more feral form, a sentiment that I will not deny. For those that have followed my work from its early stages or at least know of my older work, the change over time is clear as well. there is a clear lack of upper breasts aswell as more animalstic proportions in the legs and bodies in my newer work, that my older work only had to a slight degree. because of this I can't argue that the old description for my patreon (furry/anthro related artwork) does not accurately describe my content as of late.

As a furry artist I don't consider my aim to be feral, but neither do I aim for the classic furry art style for lack of a better description. as an artist I could best describe my inspiration to be that of classic Disney animal characters or story book civilized animals if that makes sense. this is of course with the addition of a much more adult theme. since the biggining I wanted my content to undoubtedly be sexually charged but with some restraint, at least this was the idea in my head, there for I would settle with nude pinups. Early on I also wanted to blur the lines between animal and humanoid as much as I could but I was not experienced enough or learned in anatomy enough to give that aesthetic justice. now that I am more experienced with the type of aesthetic I aimed for, I feel that I may have changed in my art style dramatically and there for alienated my older followers. at least that is how I feel.

I would love to hear any thoughts however. I know I asked this a while ago, but I would like to hear what my watchers are looking for in my work.

Just wanted to use this journal to thank all of those that enjoy my work! It makes me feel warm and fuzzy in my heart area.
