Hey! Just wanted to let you all know that I have some family matters to attend to this week and will be unable to work on skins for my game. As soon as I'm back at my place I'll resume work.

Thank you for your understanding.

I hear questions like this a lot:

CreatureUnknown, when is the next page of ____ coming out?

Short answer: I don't know, I'm busy.

Longer answer: I have a lot of projects going on right now, and some of them have a lot of financial obligation riding on them. I still want to finish Life in the Labs (there's only 2 pages left), and Chocobo for Hire (about 4-5 pages), but I just don't have a clue when I'll have the time to be able to dedicate to them.

I'm currently neck deep working on more features and levels and skins for my game Smasher and the Will o' the Thiccs (which, if you haven't played already, is available for free here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/37970157/ ) and with grad school on the near horizon of 3 weeks away, I honestly don't know when I'll be able to work on things for myself again, comics included.

So, sorry to all those who were looking forward to the next parts of the comic, I just don't have the time to do them justice

I want to go ahead and say things, it's felt really weird and wrong in some ways posting things and making silly art like nothing is going on. Part of me feels this silly art is also exactly what some people need right now in these fucked up times we live in.

I know I am extremely privileged to be able to be wholly engaged in my studies right now, I recognize how unfair it is for me to 'be too busy with classes and finals' to go to protests right now. I've donated all I can reasonably give right now to bail funds, and plan to donate more as I get more. I plan to join protests as soon as I am able.

And please, if you don't support the protests, if you don't support BlackLivesMatter, or LGBTQ+...

FUCK RIGHT OFF, LEAVE NOW.

Hey! I'm doing some requests on New Year's Eve, I'll be streaming most of the day if all goes to plan.

Hey! I'm almost at 3K watchers and I felt I should do a lil raffle, nothing big, just one winner, a 1-2 character full shaded pic

To enter:
Be watching
Leave a Comment with the following:
•Your name
•Your fave pic of mine
•What you'd like to see from me in the future
•How long you've been watching me

New watchers are totally welcome

This will end when I reach 3000 watchers or when I get home tonight, whichever happens later

Thank you all for all your support, it means a lot to me!

Hey! I recently picked up a Joltik suit, and was looking to have some alterations made on it, notably adding some 'ears' to the head, enlarge the hands, as well as make full sleeves or legs. I will supply the fur/fabric.

If you know anyone who's around my area who is willing to make these, let me know or tell them to contact me so we can discuss details, I have no idea how much money this would be worth, so price is flexible, as well

Just letting you all know that my most recent auction is up and anyone who autobuys a slot will get a 2 part sequence, not just the single picture!

Hey! Just a lil update, there will be a slight delay on progress for my YCH till this weekend, I need to take a break to stop myself from burning out, I am also starting classes tomorrow and a new job, and will need some time to settle into that groove again.

Thank you for your understanding

Hey! I just reached 50 total submissions to my YCH form, if you've filled out the form already, you've gotten a guaranteed slot! But for the moment, to avoid burnout, I'm gonna close the form, and it -may- reopen if there's enough interest, but at a later date. Thank you all for the interest! I'll send out the remaining invoices later today and I'll still be contacting people when it gets closer to their slot on the queue!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/32808103/ Hey, my friend Lex is having a rough month and is doing a 24 hour game dev livestream as a fundraiser! Every donation helps and every donator has the chance to be put in the game!

https://bloatedgoyle.itch.io/fats-food-fix

Made a quick fix for a couple of bugs, outside of the jam, I will be working on making this game a more full experience in the coming weeks

The main fix is that the customer wants will continue to cycle in this one

Hey! FA just announced this new feature, the Shinies Tipping System, that allows users to send tips to other users through the use of PayPal, so I decided to go ahead and enable one.

Any and all shinies I get will be greatly appreciated, but are by no means necessary.

To give a shiny, scroll down on my profile, and at the bottom on the left is a new panel!

Thank you, and have a great day!

If you somehow missed it, I recently did a massive group ych with over 80 people, you can see it here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31132704/

Firstly, I will be taking a short break, play some games I've been meaning to, and relax, I've had so much stress on me for the last month, so for those of you wanting commissions, please give me some time to recuperate.

The first of the things that I'll be working on when I do get back from my break is a growth drive starring Sir Nobody and by popular demand. Expect big Goyle and Shork.

Next, I will be doing some normal comms, and because I'm inept, I forgot to write down who all wanted one, so you'll probably just have to poke me when I do open again.

Thirdly, I WILL be doing another YCH in the future, but no, it will not be nearly as big. I'll be capping it at 50 at the most, maybe even less, but the theme will be: Mishaps and Mischief at Magic School!

Fourthly, in the interim, I will be working on many more personal projects, I'd like to do more game dev, and actually get something out of this time, and would like to try getting into modelling, low poly stuff, also ties in with game dev. I may or may not be starting a short comic that develops the world I've been thinking up, but we'll see

Thank you all for this magical ride, peace
Goyle Panda has left the building

Howdy there, Guys

As you may or may not have noticed... I've been hiding something from people
Perhaps it's been obvious with my likes but I've found a new kink
Please be understanding, and if it's not for
You, I'm really sorry, but I think this is the new me.
Alright, I'll say it, I'm into
Padding.

Really, it's one of my favorite things, diapers, messy especially
I really really like it, all that wonderful squish, and splurt, they're so comfy
Look, I know it's new, but I think it'll be the only thing I draw
From now
On, I'll be updating my commission info later on today, make sure to look
Out for it. And since it's such a departure, I'll be dramatically
Lowering my prices. Thank you all for
Sticking with me as my brand changes and supporting me as I start drawing more
Diapers and scat and things of that nature.

Anyways
You should look at the first letter of each line.

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS
No, I'm not into Diapers. Don't ask me for that stuff

Didn't even realize I had 1000 submissions on here until it was too late, I would've thought to do something to celebrate it, but alas, seems to be fate I forgot!

Thank you all for being here for me through all the bumps and years!

I'm in a major rut currently, and mentally, I'm in a very bad, very unstable place right now. The YCH is majorly contributing to my stress and along with finals next week, I have not had as much time or motivation to work on my group picture as I need.

I promise I'll have at least the sketches of every character out within the week, hopefully all lined and colored next week.

It was not my intention for it to take this long, I feel like I have scammed 70-some people because of my inability to function, it is very unprofessional.

The free art stream I promised earlier this week will be pushed back till next Friday at the earliest. I'm sorry.

If you have any concerns regarding the YCH, please direct them to me as a note.

First off. Wow. Thank you all for your interest, and making my dreams a reality. In all, there's over 80 characters in my Bad RNG group YCH.

With that being said, I've been incredibly stressed out over the whole project, it's a lot of weight, and responsibility. Never before have I had a project of even half this calibur.

Because of this, I will need to take a bit longer on it and actually pace myself like I said I would do rather than panic at my lack of progress, line and color 15 characters in a few hours and collapse into an anxiety, depressive puddle as I have been just about every day for the last week and a half.

For now I will be focusing my effort on the first picture and getting it done before I start on the second and larger picture.

But now for the part most people are here for, free art:
I almost always try to provide some sort of raffle or free opportunity for those who cannot afford a slot in my YCHs to get in on the fun, however, with this YCH, it's about as bloated and crowded as it can be, which is why instead, I'll be offering my Grog of Furry Whimsy. How it will work is I have a big list of a hundred random effects, and by raffle I will take some people from the stream or a tweet or a journal I put up beforehand and they can roll the dice, and depending on what it lands on is what will happen to their character. Everyone gets one reroll and one reroll only, and no going back, if the second roll is unsatisfactory, you can always walk away without taking a drink.

This will be happening hopefully next Saturday/Sunday and/or the following Friday or Saturday. Stay tuned for future announcements! Let me know what you think of the idea or if you have any potion effects that I may have missed!

Also. Daylight Savings can go swim with a toaster.

Go ahead, ask me any question and/or tell me what I am being TF'd into!

(I need some good TF ideas, I can never figure out what to TF into when I draw it or get comms, feel free to make them cruel, embarrassing, etc, just nothing explicit)

A good friend needs a significant amount of money before the 14th or their family will lose their house, so they're opening comms immediately. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29948731/ They do very good work and draw just about anything at a reasonable price, anything will help!

Just a little reminder, I have an art Telegram where I offer up first dibs on Commissions, post WIPs on my current pictures, advertise streams and even offer up discounts and requests when I have time

Feel free to hop in, the slime is fine

Go ahead and ask! Today's a sort of dull day

I'm bored while studying, please ask me stuffs!

Hey! I need to practice with digital painting some more, so I figured I might throw this out there, see if anyone was interested, before I do some stuff for myself.

The result would be in the same vein/style as this https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29396624/ but I'm totally open for subject.

Depending on complexity, these will start at $45, +$20 per extra character, and +$10-20 for backgrounds, they would be completed within the next 2 weeks. Note me if you're interested.

For the sake of my sanity, I will not paint spherical/blueberry inflation but weight gain, TF, or non-spherical inflation, etc are perfectly fine


If my prices are out of whack, please lemme know, and I can bump em down

I'm so sick and tired of myself, of the shit that I pull. The following lines are stream of consciousness venting. Expect little structure.

One minute I act all high and mighty and big shit with ego and confidence, I treat people like shit, I offend people by saying something rude, I regret it, but instead of apologizing like a normal person, I throw a tantrum, ruin everyone else's good time and go pout in the corner and flail my arms around like a drama queen and make it be known that I am in fact pouting because god forbid I not make drama out of nothing like a normal fucking person.

I go from fine to in tears deleting myself and my accounts in a matter of moments over the stupidest shit. Exhibit A: Today around 2 hours ago I misheard a friend about a minigame in Mario Party, searched the web for it, got frustrated that I couldn't seem to find it and then upon clarification I realized it was something that had been in many of them, and I felt so stupid and especially stupid because I had gotten so frustrated over it in the first place that I lost it and broke down in tears, asked to be banned from the server and nearly deleted my entire Discord.

It's no secret that my self-esteem with regards to my art has been at its lowest point ever and I'm constantly a critical mess, despite rationally I know it's -fine-, not great, but 'fine'. I literally use my art as my only income. And I'm doing fine. I'm in fact building some small amount of savings. yet I see the works of any of my friends and I find myself right back in the puts, that I should just give up, not because 'I can never be that good' but because I know that if I just tried harder, had more determination, more patience, more meticulousness, that I could do what they do, and yet here I am still, with my mediocre art.

To make matters worth, I'm so stifled by the subjects I draw. I want to draw much more detailed, dramatic scenes, with varied subjects and moods and yet here I am working on the 7th commission in a row using the fucking ellipse tool to draw yet another blue sphere with limbs. I am. so. fucking. tired. of drawing blueberries, and yet, it's the only thing that people want, and thus pays my bills. Saying I'd stop drawing inflation would be starting at square one, again, which I can't afford. I'm too much of a mediocre and unremarkable artist to be marketable, to make it drawing anything outside the whims of this little niche I've dug myself into like a tick.

My health is deteriorating as I lock myself in this room for longer amounts of time, I use my friends online to stave off the insanity, but here's where my work is, where my social life is, where my hobbies are, where my entertainment is, in this little grey box with a shiny screen. I think of smashing it with a hammer, occasionally, if I'm quite frank, but at the same time, then I'll I'm doing is depriving myself of my best friends, forcing myself to face reality where I am awkward, inept, incapable, and around people I hate. Why settle on the people in my physical proximity when I can find people who are into the same things as me? Right? Doesn't change the fact that I seat like shit, feel like shit, both physically and mentally, but I've already got a reputation with the people here for being a shut in. Pay rent, that's all that matters, I suppose.

Another unfortunate consequence of having my world in this little grey box is that I'm prone to distraction. Given determination, I can do 5, 10 comms a day, and still have some time to relax, but most days I can barely work on 1. Here I am right now, putting off working on things that someone paid me money to work on by whining like an articulate 5 year old into the void of the internet.

Before anyone asks, yes, I have sought counselling, therapy, all that good stuff but there's not much that can be offered to me at this current state. Sure I can go back, but the only answer I can really get is "Breath slow, get your head out of itself" and in essence, fix your own powers by sheer willpower. I'm fragile, like a 'special snowflake' whatever the fuck you want to say, the smallest things set me off, and I stay in a tantrum for hours, and before, during, and after said tantrum, I crave being put out, being recognized as the shit that I am, being excluded feels almost inviting, then my actions are justified, I can throw a tantrum and it have consequences, then maybe I'll learn my lessons, maybe, maybe. But no, the people I know, my friends, they just fucking put up with my bullshit, and it's not fair to them. How many times can someone weather my tantrum shitstorm before they crack and they close the blinds for good? Too many. Should I find out? No. Will I? Probably someday because I can't stop my bullshit.

I don't know. I really don't know. I don't know what I want. Why I'm like this. Why this is acceptable. Why I'm not suicidal, at all. I don't know.

Know that I'm really not trying to beg for attention, and I certainly don't want a "You're fine, dude" "Aww, don't worry, you're none of those things". Those make things worse. Something is definitely wrong. Don't just tell me to ignore it with platitudes. My notes and Discord are open.
