Posted 8 years agoHi! I know a while back I said I had returned and then went silent again but this time I mean it! Lemme give you a quick rundown on everything that has happened and everything that will be happening:
Past: So I kinda had a dip in my mental state so I had to figure all of that stuff out. Now I am taking meds to help my mental state and I believe I am doing good so far. Other than that I am heading into my third year of college! I also now have a drawing tablet and will be getting into digital art. Oh snap, this is the past tho! Not the present or future!
Future: Yo, so here is the plan. I want to really get started on my business. I plan on creating my art business called "Don't Be A Grump! Studios" or DBAG! Studios for short. Yes I know. dbag. It is funny lol. I plan on starting to have art tables at conventions as well once I really get my art going. I am getting serious yo. With this being said,any money I make in commissions will be split 3 ways from now on. 1 part going towards my fursuit, 1 part going towards my convention funds, and 1 part going towards my funds to start an organization.
Yes, you heard that right. I want to start an organization in the future to aid in helping LGBT youth. I can get into that at another time.
Anyways, I have to update my TOS and go back over my prices as well as conjure up some examples to go along with my stuff.
I hope that wasnt too bad.
Over & OutI am back!

ripCommissions and Fursuits!
Posted 9 years agoEy. It's me again reader.
Ya know, I really want to make fursuits. Like honestly, since I have become a furry, I have had an insatiable lust to make fursuits. I have had my crack at making bases so far, and I believe I am getting the hang of it. Problem is, I aint got no money! Hey! Isn't that every person's problem? lol
Anyways, with that, I am still taking commissions! Summer commissions come with a free gift if you order before August 31st!
Over & OutUgh.
Posted 9 years agoLong story short, a customer got their art before they paid the rest and now I am short 27 bucks until god knows when.
They told me things have been tight. Well they should have thought about that before commissioning me....
Okay, more to the story: This person I personally know and we were at an event and I planned to give them their art at this event. They ended up with my backpack and after I told them I wasn't going home with them, they got pissy and took the art but didn't pay me back...I have been asking for weeks now and they still haven't given it to me...
I am pissy...Fritz Falcons [Species Info]
Posted 9 years agoWere you ever just sitting at your desk one day and suddenly your light begins to flicker? Or your computer starts to freeze up? Or your television starts to get all staticky? You could say that these items are "on the fritz", right? Well, look no further than a Fritz Falcon to blame for this!
What is a Fritz Falcon?:
A Fritz Falcon, or Fritz for short, is a bird like creature that is closer to a horse in terms of species. They do not exist on Earth in a physical form, but they exist in a higher plan of existence, about the same area as ghosts exist. They keep ghosts and spirits company, which is why when a ghost is near, lights will flicker, or radios will malfunction, etc. They are a very cheeky and mischievous animals, and are always hiding and stealing things from the real world.
Anatomy of a Fritz:
When it comes to Fritz Falcons, they are broken down into three seperate categories, ranging from most common, to super rare. All Fritz have either are very thin or very large. Nothing inbetween. Some are able to put on weight quickly, and others have a hard time with it. Some key things with Fritz is their long necks, their shorter back legs, and the amount of fluff that is present on their neck and the base of their tail/butt. Another key feature is that all of them have some sort of horn/s, spikes, etc. These are used mostly for defense purposes.
Another thing is that Fritz do come in male and female. Males are best known for their 'manes' that go from the standard neck fluff, all the way down their back, to their base of their tail fluff. Females do not have this connector. When it comes to reproduction, Fritz reproduce with eggs. Here is where it gets weird. Females will lay the egg, then her respective mate will incubate the egg until it hatches. The mother does not sit on the egg ever. Some weird bio stuff that we won't get into.
When Fritz are born however, they are born with a FULLY WHITE COAT! Since they are not yet influenced by their surroundings, their coats are pure white. The older the Fritz, the more intricate the design, and the less white.
Below are some key features when it comes to them being common, uncommon, and rare:
Common:
-Long Ears
-Long Tail
-Various shades of yellow beaks
-Large Wings
-All Paws
Uncommon:
-Short Ears
-Short Tail
-Various shades of orange beaks
-Small Wings
-Front Paws, Back hooves
Rare:
-No Ears (feather tufts instead)
-No tail (feather tufts instead)
-Various shades of brown beaks
-No Wings (Just protruding back feathers)
-All hooves
Where do Fritz Live?:
As mentioned before, they do not exist on Earth, rather they exist alongside ghosts and spirits. They are able to pop in and out of existence on Earth, but only the oldest and most powerful can do this. They are able to interact with the physical world, but often times if a person is around, they will not notice it. When it comes to their surroundings, their bodies are highly influenced by it. Below are some of the big things with where a Fritz will live:
Urban: They will have a lot of unnatural colors. Some may even possess some bio-luminescent markings. They are usually very thin, fast, and some of the most energetic. These ones tend to make higher pitched chirps and moans than the others.
Forests: These ones are usually the more uncommon/rare hang out spots. The Fritz that live here are often very spritely and often are the reason people believe in fairies. These ones tend to have more greens/yellows/browns markings. They often are more natural looking and are very good at being sneaky and camouflage.
Mountains: These Fritz are usually fluffier than most since most mountains are colder. They are great climbers, and are often more bulkier. These ones are often wearing skull masks. Why? Mountain Fritz are often the warrior Fritz and protect any surrounding herds since they can see a lot of the land from the mountains.
Tundra/Snow/Cold: Next to the mountain Fritz, these ones are the FLUFFIEST there is! These ones also are more chubbier than any other ones. They often have fully white coats, or white with a few lighter brown markings or even dark brown markings, despite their age. These Fritz tend to have larger horns to move the snow and what not for when they are building their homes.
Sea/Lakes/Rivers: Water oriented Fritz are special. If they are born by the water or in the water, they are born with fins instead of feathers, but still have fur too. If they migrate there, or they end up by the water, they still have feathers. Water oriented Fritz often are the slimmest ones, and the best swimmers, but not the best fliers. These ones usually have smaller horns and spikes to not get in the way of their swimming. These ones also have more white/blue/light browns as their markings and what not.
Desert: Fritz that live in the desert tend to have orange/brown/yellow coats and have the least fur. They tend to be the slowest Fritz, but know how to keep cool. They often enjoy mud when it does come around, and love the bugs of the desert.
Lifestyle:
Fritz Falcons can not be caught, but they can become tame or okay around humans.
---I am still editing this species so expect more things to come!---Pokemon Go & WEIGHT LOSSSSSSSS!
Posted 9 years agoHey reader!
So these past few days, I have been playing Pokemon Go. Prior to this I was trying to lose weight, but that mixed with my own motivation on taking my life back, I have been watching what I eat as well as going and exercising.
In the amount of three days, I have lost about two pounds.
I AM EXCITED.Pokemon Go & Inflation
Posted 9 years agoSo I was just browsing through FA as usual, and I just gotta ask.
What is with inflation? Like whether it is fetish or not, like what is so intriguing about it? I am not even being a dick either. I just am asking. I personally am not into inflation, so I just want to ask people whom may be into it or not, why? I mean, I know why I personally enjoy pet play and what not, but like I dunno. Am I weird for asking?
Also, I gots the Pokemon Go! Sadly the AR tech doesn't work on my phone too well. But there is a pokemon gym RIGHT by a park by my house so I plan on going on an adventure later today. I am thinking of drawing out a pokemon trainer OC and what not.
Also, I have been getting into this show called Escaping Polygamy. AND YOU BETCH UR SWEET ASS PPL SHOULD WATCH THIS SO THEY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLYAMORY AND POLYGAMY. JFC.
Anyways, I gotta go wash some dishes.
Over & OutTrades & Spades!
Posted 9 years agoOkay, not too many spades, but still enough.
Anyways, I am looking to art trade!! I will be taking 3 trades! The character I like the most will recieve a digital version of what I make them. Hell, I might even just do all of them digital to be honest.
Anyways, some of my rules for trades!:
1: Must be roughly the same art skill as me. I don't like if someone makes me a super cool piece and I give them trash, or vice versa.
2: I love me some hybrids! Love me some spooky spooks. Love me them weird fursonas.
3: I will choose my three. Just because you comment, doesn't mean that it will happen.
DISCLAIMER: I AM ALSO OPENING THIS UP TO INSTAGRAM. I HAVE 215 FOLLOWERS ON THERE, SO DON'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY BECOME TAKEN OR WHAT NOT.
I will do these more often if they are popular.
Over & OutBad News
Posted 9 years agoHey reader. So if you were part of my old FA, you knew that I was going to be attending Midwest Furfest. The only way I was going to be going, AND have a fursuit of Graff, was by staying with my (now ex) friend with benefits. Long story short, it was a bad relationship and it was unhealthy.
So yea. Not that long of a story, but now I am not attending MFF, nor will I have a fursuit by then. Oh well.
Better luck next time!
ps: commissions are open oxoTakin them commissions!

*There has been some issue with me not wanting to draw genitalia, so I will explain why. I have no problem with drawing breasts/exposed nipples because it is a thing that every person has, and yes it is basic anatomy. But with genitalia, I have a problem with drawing it. I have never drawn it before since I do not normally practice drawing it, nor do I plan on drawing it in the future. I am trying to stay away from drawing pornographic anything. I do not deem breasts to be pornographic, and that is just my preference. I hope this clears things up.
