Hi, everyone! After some delay, September commissions are finally open! You can grab them here (SFW only) or send me a DM. As a disclaimer, I'm full on stickers and will not be accepting any more for September and possibly October.

Do you like fursuits and props? After some time, I'm finally ready to start offering some premade items! What are you most interested in seeing? Throw some opinions in the comments!

My merch stores are back up! Looking for some shirts, physical stickers and t-shirts? Check out my Redbubble and TeePublic.

Hi, everyone! In the interest of cleaning out my queue and providing my best work to my current clients, I am postponing my June commission openings. I will also not be taking any new sticker commissions for the month of June. If you want a sticker, or any other commission type, please feel free to hop on my wait-list to be contacted for an opening.

Sticker pack commissions, full renders, and anything with a background will be waitlisted for July only.

Chibis, single stickers, and fullbody flat colors will be waitlisted for June.

For everyone waiting on commissions, thank you for your patience. I have had a family member in and out of the hospital these past few months who has finally passed away peacefully. Please expect quicker turnaround going forward. For those of you tired of waiting, full refunds can be offered. Everyone will be updated individually over the course of next week.

Waitlisted clients are still tentatively expected to be contacted on July 1st for payment. Rain date is July 7th.

The next round of commissions has started for May!

Digital Con Badges: $25
Chibi Art: $15
Shaded Fullbody: $25
Stickers: $11-$50

You can see my full price list and my queue using the links above! Simple backgrounds okay, full backgrounds on case-by-case basis. Interested in other types of commissions I'm not offering? DM me for a quote or email me at Crossdog367(at)yahoo.com!

I accept PayPal, Stripe, Venmo, Square and Ko-Fi (Paypal/Stripe)! Please message me for an invoice. Commissions through Ko-Fi MUST be SFW.

You can see my full price list and my queue using the links above! Simple backgrounds okay, full backgrounds on case-by-case basis.

Recently I've started working on sewing and teaching myself to make fursuit parts. I've been posting the pictures on my channel and on Bluesky, but would people on FurAffinity be interested in seeing these images, too?

I've only just started, but here are some examples!

Tail: https://bsky.app/profile/crossdog36...../3lfgn5jiass2x

Applique: https://t.me/CrossdogArt/999

Right now, most of my unfinished work is hosted on my Telegram Channel. Commission WIPs will never be posted here, as it clogs up my gallery, but it did occur to me that I could put together compilation sketch pages of abandoned sketches and put them in Scraps. Would anyone be interested in this?

Note: If you did want to see my commission WIPs but don't have Telegram, you can now see them on my Trello.

Just wanted to clear out the old journal on Art Fight.

What's going on with you? How is your day?

A little (very) belated, but I've entered Art Fight for the first time this year.

There's still a week left, if you want to see my attacks a little early or follow me on the website, you can find me here.

If you've been following along, following Twitter's rebrand, a lot of furries (myself included) have moved over to Bluesky. It previously had an invite system, but now everything is open! My account is here: https://bsky.app/profile/crossdog367.bsky.social

Like my Telegram channel, I post a lot of sketches that don't make it here.

I was going to post these on Twitter, but unfortunately they have locked me out of my account. Because of some poor decisions, I may have to pay to get my aim mail unlocked to access it, so this will be a long and interesting journey.

If you're looking for a Bluesky code, I'm now passing them out. Priority to followers, artists, and those who are active on Twitter.

It's been a long journey with Twitter but I think we're winding down to a bitter and slow circling of the drain. As many of you probably already know, the social media site is rebranding as "X". Tweets will henceforth be known as "xeets". For many people, this was the last straw. I'll be around on Twitter until the ship goes under, but I'm now active on Bluesky as well!

(I've already promised this month's invite codes to friends, sorry!)

Stolen from  KaeMantis! My top 10 favorite Pokemon. Feel free to make a journal too, or list your below!

I'm a casual player and not interested in competitive play, so my favorites are centered around design, description and solo play.

#10 Meganium - Finally done justice in the newest Pokemon Snap, Meganium is truly a legend. Big? Yes. Goofy? Yes. Plant powers that make you love it? Absolutely.

#9 Absol - One of the best designs in the franchise, hands down. Between the tragic backstory and the scary looks, this Pokemon writes fanfiction for itself.

#8 Bolthund - zoom zoom

#7 Meowscarada - I honestly was impressed with the overall theme of the starters (performers) which felt much more coherent than Sword and Shield. His stage magician thing really reminds me of Tuxedo Mask.

#6 Primarina - His design is a little busy, but honestly he's everything I wanted out of Walrein.

#5 Arcanine - What is more appealing than a giant dog you can ride? Also, Fire Blast just about anything in the vicinity.

#4 Emolga - You put wings on Pachirisu. Thanks, I love it!

#3 Shaymin - Just an overall improvement on Celebi, this sweet little hedgegod turns into a brave, dashing reindeer when you're grateful for its efforts. You just want to keep working hard for it!

#2 Sylveon - She is beauty, she is grace, she...might be a dragon-slaying energy vampire? Sign me up!

#1 Pachurisu. The giant tail the booby-trapped food! It was everything I ever wanted out of Pikachu, with the ability to take a hit. I love this little guy.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Riolu/Lucario
Shinx/Luxray
Braixen
Aurorus

As FurAffinity has made changes its search engine, I realized that I'm going to have to make some changes as well! A lot of the traffic I get is from work I did almost 13 years ago, mach older than the 5-year cutoff that the default search on FA now offers. I've gotta get some new stuff out there! So, as some of you know, I wanted to start a webcomic, but right now as I work my way through college, I realized that that's something that's going to have to sit on the backburner for a few years.

In preparation, I wanted to do some stuff with my old PCA characters, less developed than a comic, but maybe some worldbuilding and occasional one-page comics. I'm going to sit and see if I can work on a style that allows me to make more frequent uploads without sacrificing quality. However, before I do this, I wanted to reach out to my followers and check in. What draws you to this page? What have I been making that you really like/love/think about? Any character you really like or miss?

I realize with my posting frequency, this is a bit of a reach, but thanks so much to all you for the time. I hope I've put out some fun things over the years!

TYPES OF WORK ACCEPTED

I WILL DO

Suggestive Themes and NSFW art

Teen-rated Violence/Blood

Drug/Alcohol use

I WILL NEGOTIATE

Your weird fetish.

Rights for commercial use of logo and symbols, excluding anything involving blockchain.

TERMS OF SERVICE
By getting a commission with me, you are agreeing to my terms of service as outlined on the date of payment. Terms of service are valid as soon as payment is completed. Please make sure you read the ToS in its entirety before committing to payment. Please feel free to contact me privately to ask any questions.

GENERAL

I reserve the right to refuse to take any commission without explanation.

All commissioners must be 18+. I do not do work for minors, as they cannot legally enter a contract with me.

By commissioning me, the customer understands that no physical copy of any artwork will be shipped. This is a commission for digital services.

I do not do any type of work involving blockchain market and exchange (cryptocurrency, NFT, et cetera). Do not contact me to use my work for blockchain/NFT/cryptocurrrency. If I find my work being used for blockchain/NFT/cryptocurrency, I will file a DMCA.

PROCESS

My average turnaround time is generally 7-21 days, depending on my workload and how complicated the image is. The longest wait time I've had was less than 4 months. I update frequently and am easy to contact on Telegram (usually in minutes), by Twitter (usually in hours), and by FA Notes or email (at least daily).

I accept payment by P**P** only, and I send invoices. In order to receive an invoice, you must either have a P**P** account or a functioning email.

For any inked or fully digital color commissions, a preliminary sketch will be shown to the commissioner before inking. At this point, the commissioner may propose any edits, or request a new sketch, free. However, after the first time, I will start charging $2.00 for each additional sketch. For sketch commissions (colored or otherwise), $5.00 will be added to your total for every new sketch. After this sketch is shown, any progress will stop until full payment is received.

After the sketch is chosen, inking will be done. This inking will be shown to the commissioner before coloring. Any additional comments about small details should be made now. Small changes or corrections can be done for free. Anything large, such as redrawing limbs, backgrounds or multiple features is a $5-10 upcharge.

After the coloring is finished, the commission will be sent to the client for approval. Commission files are available in PNG, Clip Studio Format, or PSD. I reserve the right to withhold non-flattened work files.

REFUNDS

Full refunds are available any time before I have started working on your piece.

Partial refunds are available any time after work has started. Partial refunds are individually determined and are based on the level of completion of the piece.

I reserve the right to stop working and issue a partial refund at any time, for any reason.

USE, COPYRIGHT AND OWNERSHIP

Please do not claim my request/trade as your own work.

Please do not edit or modify commissions that you have received from me, with the exception of cropping, resizing and/or thumbnails for stories. This includes paying other artists to color my work. If you want a lineart, and would like to color it yourself, please discuss this with me at the time of purchase.

I ask that you credit me and/or link back to the original picture in my gallery.

Please do not post art I have made for other users without their permission, or without crediting me.

All commissions, trades and requests WILL be watermarked. I do not offer art for others without a watermark.

While the ownership of any original character is yours, legally the copyright to the art piece itself is mine. What this means is that you should not sell my work, or derivatives of it such as shirts, buttons, et cetera without my permission. If you sell my work without permission, I will file a DMCA.

If you would like to purchase a logo, I ask for a reproduction and commercial use fee on top of the price of the commission. This is price is individually determined.

I do not currently sell merchandise of my work featuring other people's original characters with or without permission.

NOTE: These policies are susceptible to change and will be altered accordingly. Clients are subject to the policies that are listed at the time of the start of the transaction.

And a few other places!

If you're wondering why I don't update as frequently, I started moving a lot of my preliminary sketches away from gallery sites, and onto other fast-moving mediums that require more posts to get and retain attention. My goal is to post my typical lengthy character-driven descriptions here, and reserve unfinished WIP sketches and old hand-drawn work for Twitter and Telegram. I'll also be posting a bunch old older, never-seen before PCA-era work to my Patreon in January! My Patreon and Ko-Fi links are in the bottom of this journal.

Other links included here.

https://twitter.com/CrossdogArt

My art Twitter, where I post digital sketches, along with unfinished work.

https://t.me/CrossDogArt

My art Telegram. I post digital and traditional sketches here, along with some early concept for characters like Laraprita and Maned Kitty and worldbuilding stuff that gets refined before posting here.

https://www.furaffinity.net/commiss.....s/crossdog367/

The next round of commissions has started! I'm opening three commissions! This includes sketches, chibis, and full-body pictures. Simple backgrounds okay, full backgrounds on case-by-case basis.

Prices are in the link above. Other types of commissions may be negotiated.

I think at this point, it's more than safe to say that the PCA is dine, but I have a lot of characters from the project left over. Characters that I worked very hard on, and really loved. Now that my life is effectively on pause, I have a lot more time to mull over what to do with them. I had a couple of ideas in mind.

1. I could treat it as a single-player project and continue where I left off and build the stories and arcs for the characters as I'd envisioned them, probably with some retcons along the way, to compensate for close relationships my characters had with other characters that aren't around anymore.

2. I could create my own Pokemorph school, probably set in Unova, and start from scratch with students and have my current students be staff.

3. I could abandon the Pokemon angle and work all of my characters into per-existing projects, or an individual magical high school/college type setting.

All in all, it's kind of intimidating. I think it's about 20 characters I created, all with backstories and families and junk. I'd hate to see all of those years go to waste.

REQUEST POLICIES

Requests are only open in FurAffinity journals or tweets. The terms will be in the particular journal or Tweet.

TRADE POLICIES

Trades are individual agreements where no currency is exchanged. I trade with people of all skill levels, I just ask that you put as much work into your art as I put into mine. I have the right to refuse any trades. Doing gift art for me does not entitle you to a trade.

COMMISSION POLICIES

- Turnaround time is generally 7-20 days, depending on my workload and how complicated the image is. The longest wait time I've had was less than 4 months. I update frequently and am easy to contact on Telegram (usually in minutes), by Twitter (usually in hours), and by FA Notes or email (at least daily).

- I accept payment by PayPal only, and I send invoices. In order to receive an invoice, you must either have a PayPal account or a functioning email.

- For any inked or fully digital color commissions, a preliminary sketch will be shown to the commissioner before inking. At this point, the commissioner may propose any edits, or request a new sketch, free. However, after the first time, I will start charging $1.00 for each additional sketch. For sketch commissions (colored or otherwise), $0.50 will be added to your total for every new sketch. After this sketch is shown, any progress will stop until full payment is received.

- After the sketch is chosen, inking will be done. This inking will be shown to the commissioner before coloring. Any additional comments about small details should be made now. Small changes or corrections can be done for free. Anything large, such as redrawing limbs, backgrounds or multiple features is a $5-10 upcharge.

- After the coloring is finished, the commission will be sent to the client for approval. Commission files are available in PNG, Clip Studio Format, or PSD. I reserve the right to withhold non-flattened work files.

- Your odd SFW fetish.

FAQ

Q: How do I ask for art?

A: Requests and commissions are offered on occasion through journals. To secure a slot, you must comment on the journal with a reference of your character. Further instructions are usually included in the journal for requests, and it is beneficial to your chances to read them.
For trades, however, feel free to shoot me a note.


Q: How often can I ask for a request?

A: Individuals are usually allowed one request per year, to ensure that everyone has an equal chance. However, if you try for a request and don't get it, you can keep asking whenever my slots are open until you get one.
You can, however, ask for a commission whenever commissions are open.

Q: Can I repost my request on my account?

A: Yes, but;

Please do not claim my request/trade as your own work.
Please do not edit or modify commissions that you have received from me, with the exception of cropping, resizing and/or thumbnails for stories. This includes paying other artists to color my work. If you want a lineart, and would like to color it yourself, please discuss this with me at the time of purchase.
Please do not post art I have made for other users.
I ask that you credit me and/or link back to the original picture in my gallery.
All commissions, trades and requests WILL be watermarked. I do not offer art for others without a watermark.

Q: Now that I bought it, does my commission belong to me?

This is a tricky question. While the ownership of any original character is yours, legally the copyright to the art piece itself is mine. What this means is that you should not sell my work, or derivatives of it such as shirts, buttons, et cetera without my permission. I DO NOT currently sell the rights to my work for commercial use. If you sell my work without permission, I will file a DMCA.

I do not sell merchandise of my work featuring other people's original characters with or without permission.

NOTE: These policies are susceptible to change and will be altered accordingly. Please keep your heads up!

After this current round of commissions, I'm changing my commission prices, and I'm also considering whether or not I should change taxes. Any advice or experiences would be highly appreciated!
