Hi everyone!

I'm sure a lot of you have heard the news regarding payment processors and card companies cracking down on adult content creators over the years. Most recently it's Steam and Itch.io which has affected many people for either no reason, or just plain bad reasons.

I have finally decided to do something about it, something I first wanted to do a while ago when Patreon was hit by Mastercard and Paypal's restrictions and started regulating adult content more strictly.

And what I've done is start a non-profit adult content creator advocacy group!

The Adult Content Creator Network is an organization that seeks to advocate for the rights of adult content creators across the world. We want to serve as counter to groups like the NCOSE and Collective Shout, organizations that have been lobbying against the rights of adults to express themselves and make a living off of our labor.

Much is left to do with this organization, as we have only just concluded our first board meeting to set up the ACCN for international membership. But if you are interested in joining the organization already, especially as a new board member and help us make this organization as strong as possible, please check out the link below where there's more information and a link to our Discord server.

https://adultcontentcreatornetwork.neocities.org/

Thanks for reading!

Haven't written a proper journal here in a long time, but here's a short one.

If you have the time, I'd love to get some responses to this opinion survey I've made regarding my art
https://forms.gle/VHJrdMisVVAyazUr5

This is because next year I'm going to make an attempt to do art fulltime again and this time I think it'll go a lot better.

Thanks in advance!

Long story short: Apple sucks and will be changing how Patreon memberships are going to work in November. However, this change only applies to new patrons who subscribe through the iOS Patreon App.

A quote from the email Patreon's Support Staff sent me earlier today:"First, we want to be clear about one thing: this will not impact your existing memberships at all. Apple's App Store fee only applies to new memberships purchased in the iOS app beginning in November 2024."

The change in question is that Apple is altering its deal with Patreon so that all in-app purchases on iOS are subject to Apple's 30% App Store few. This means that come November, new patrons joining via the iOS App would have to pay 30% more.

However, this extra charge is optional to apply from the Creator side and I do not believe that fans should have to front extra cash just because big corporations are being dickish. So I'm not going to charge extra on iOS, like Patreon's staff are recommending that I do. The economy is rough enough as it is, and I'd rather take a paycut because I value people's ability to enjoy my art more.

Just making this announcement to make it clear that nothing will change for my Patreon at least 🙂

The sky is not falling <3

To be fully honest, I didn't know FA had a singular owner. But regardless of my ignorance, my heartfelt condolences to the furry community and I wish a peaceful rest upon Dragoneer.

Some doomsayers have said that this will lead to a likely implosion of this site, and I personally don't believe that'll happen. FA has been around for almost 20 years by this point so I'm certain plans have been laid for a sad event like this. Nonetheless, FA has been the main hub for everything uncensored that I've created for several years now. DeviantArt has gotten mostly the same stuff but anything too lewd has always been censored on dA.

So if this site follows Dragoneer to the afterlife, you can still see my uncensored works on Cohost where I'm pretty active compared to most other sites.

https://cohost.org/KimRinzley

You can also find it on my bluesky, but I'm not actively on bluesky. I only post there via PostyBirb and I'm not even logged in on my main browser so you can only find my uncensored stuff there, you can't find me.

https://bsky.app/profile/kimrinzley.....ds.bsky.social

Regardless, I think FA is safe. Rest in peace, Dragoneer.

This is simple update post for the status of my commissions queue.

As it turns out, I'm bad at calculating time requirements so my entire queue from January has been pushed back several weeks/months since early March. And this also means that the promised opening of new slots this month will be pushed back as well.

Right now, I don't have a concrete date for when I'll be able to open slots for a new cycle of commissions, and since I'm apparently really bad at estimating what my time requirements are, I'm hesitant towards even giving a guess this time.

Regardless, I'm going to tentatively set July 10th as the date *I would like* to open slots on. And I'm setting this date as a way of trying to keep myself on track as well. Considering that I have 7 more commissions to finish and that I have planned for a lot of downtime during the summer, I *hope* this date will work for me.

So in conclusion, I'm very sorry for the delays to anyone who was expecting me to open up this month. But I don't like taking on more missions than I have the ability for <3

Does anyone know why Furaffinity randomly blocks submissions from PostyBirb? whenever I try to post to FA it makes PostyBirb freeze up.

In any case, if you wanna see the final part of Year of The Dragon Forever, you can find it and all the alts on my cohost

https://cohost.org/KimRinzley?page=0

Been using cohost for most of the year so far and I love it. It's such a breath of fresh air from all the other social media sites.

Would love to see you there!

Posting this outside of Patreon just so that everyone knows what'll be up for next year.

Before anyone gets worried, let me assure you there will be no change to the price for current patrons. The currently existing tiers will remain with the same prices and the same perks. But they will only be available for current patrons and not new patrons coming in from 2024 and onward.

With that out of the way, here's what's up.

This year has been fantastic for me and my artistic confidence. Long-time followers of me on deviantArt and Furaffinity may remember that I once tried to do art full-time as a career choice in the past, but that it didn't pan out too well. I simply wasn't ready to take on being an artist full-time at the time, but this year has proven to me that I'm ready. I just want to draw anytime when I'm not doing it.

So I've talked to my manager at my survival job and in January, I'm cutting my hours there in half so that I can spend more time on creating for this patreon and on commissions. But it's a serious move so I have to be a bit more serious with how I deal with it all. To that end I'm raising the prices for all new patrons in 2024. The tiers that are currently active, the ones you all beautiful people are on, will remain as legacy tiers. I hope this is an understandable move and that you're not badly affected by it.

The new prices are as follows:

Tier 1 goes up from $1 a month to $2.5
Tier 2 goes up from $3 a month to $4.5
Tier 3 goes up from $4.5 a month to $6

These new replacement tiers will each have the same perks as the respective tiers that they replace, so tier 1 is still only getting early access and voting privileges, tier 2 gets suggestion privileges and so on. I also have plans for a new perk for tier 3, but I want to get into the groove of things before I elaborate on that so that I don't overpromise anything. This new perk will also retroactively carry over to the old tier 3 members, so it won't be exclusive only to the new tier 3.

And that's about that. All you current members ought to not be affected by this change, but I just want to make sure that you all know what's going to happen in 2024.
Thanks for all your support, you're all lovely and beautiful <3

is a cool site

And it's where I upload full comics and pinups earlier than on dA and FA.

Check it out :)

Is it even possible to talk about this last year outside of the context of 2020? Like, 2020 might have been the most seminal year in the last 2 decades outside of 2001. And it feels a little weird to talk about this year after never having made a similar post about 2020. It's weird in that way where it doesn't really feel like 2021 was a separate year from 2020, just like an extension, that we're not really living in "years" anymore. That every year past 2020 is just part of 2020's dynasty.

It's just... It's really weird is all. But if 2020 was the worst year of our lives, then 2021 would have to be the most Surprising Year for me personally.

This year came with a lot of surprises for me. I couldn't try to remember all of them but I was surprised to feel so much more invigorated with making TFTG art. I'm not going to cringe my way through what I may have written in the past about it all but as far as I can recall, I think the reason I felt done with that scene was because 1, I felt crippled by my own inability to be creative in that scene and I blamed it on the subject alone and 2, I didn't really appreciate the social life that revolved around it.

Regarding #1 there, I used to feel like TFTG art was a "dead art form" for me. That the stories that could be told through a sequence were limited to only that of the erotic and nothing more. I hate the feeling of being limited, it's why I've never been able to stay vegetarian, I just can't hold myself to one thing and only that one thing. But since last year or so, I've come to realize that there's nothing that realistically should prohibit me from expressing myself via TF art in whatever way I choose. And that's the key to it all. It's really all about me.

Not that I don't appreciate everyone following me and what I make, I truly do. But I'm never going to feel personally accomplished unless I'm affording myself the ability to make art on my terms and not by whatever presumptions I have about what TFTG art "should be." Because the question there is, who's deciding what TFTG art "should be?"

In regards to that question I have a lot of new friends and peers in the community to thank. I don't want to give them any specific call-outs because I don't want to bug them publicly. But let me just say that I have a lot to thank a certain big shot trans cutie with a sick-ass scarf for ;)

This was also the year that I finally realized that most of my life's misery came from that deep bit of self-loathing I had (and to a certain extent still have, but I'm working on it) inside me. I can't begin to explain how amazing it feels to have finally accepted that I'm transgender. There are so many things that have been revealed to me since I came out to myself, too many to list really. But it's exciting and I'm very thankful for all my friends for being so supportive. Not that I expected any less from them, I know they're awesome :)

There are more things that have happened that came straight out of left-field for me. But a lot of them are pretty personal and I've learned that it's important to keep at least a few things about myself to myself and my closest friends so we're not gonna dive into that here.

But where does that leave me now?

For starters I feel far more sure about myself as an artist. I know what I want to make, I know what direction to go and I know how to pace myself. Which is why I'm starting a Patreon this year. I hope it's gonna go well ^^;

I'm happy to take it slow and steady for this year, growing my patreon and myself as time moves on. However, the planned launch for tomorrow has to be postponed for... As little time as I can make it. There were a lot of sick leaves at my regular day job this holiday season and I had to cover for most of them so a lot of art is still unfinished. But it's gonna be pretty dope once it launches! :)

There are also a bunch of big plans for comics this year, with one VERY special March event that I've wanted to do since the second March Needs Moms. I am really excited for it and I hope you will be too :)

Anyway, that's about it for now. I hope you all have a lovely New Year's Eve and that 2022 will be a good year for all of us. Take care and I'll see ya with more art soon <3

It’s been nearly 30 years.

For all this time I’ve been unable to answer one question.

Who am I?

Part one
There’s been so much hate in me. Towards the world at large I have been covered with thorns, jutting out to protect whatever’s inside. But at the same time I’ve felt that whatever’s inside has been just as worthy of my hatred.

For so many years I’ve lied to myself.

For so many years have I been lied to.

It’s not fair, but natural that I’d hate the person who’d keep up a hurtful lie like this for so long. And if I hate him so much, why shouldn’t she deserve to be lied to even more?

Trapped on both sides of the lie, I hate the liar and I hate the victim.

Neither is deserving of the truth.

“Self-loathing tries your better self in a kangaroo court and declares off with your head.”
Noah Caldwell-Gervais, Manic Pixie Dream Worlds: A Critique of American McGee's Alice Games

I just want to be me.

Part two
I’ve been unable to look down and imagine myself in a different body for as long as I’ve been alive.

I’m dysmorphic and unsympathetic towards my body. Not to the point where I’ve caused it harm. But enough to just not care enough to do what I probably should.

And I think the reason I’ve told myself that I can’t transition is because…

If I choose to change my body, I have to claim it as mine.

I don’t want to own this body. I hate my body hair and I hate my legs. I can barely look myself in the mirror longer than absolutely necessary and have a fear of cameras that’s almost debilitating.

Have I claimed to be non-binary for all this time so that I can pretend that my body doesn’t matter?

I just want to be me.


Part three
This all has been in my head for nearly 30 years now. It’s rattled around in the back of my mind for so long that it’s become a white noise that I’ve just learned to ignore. All the while my self-hatred has grown and festered. And all the while my body dysmorphia remained untreated because of my fear of my own body.

I won’t lie, I’ve envied so many of you that took the plunge and came out and transitioned. Telling myself that I’d love to do that too, but I can’t because I’m not trans, just non-binary.

I can’t lie, all my self-hatred has affected how I look at the world around me to the point that I finally broke just two weeks ago.

A friend recommended a game on a stream of hers. I took her up on that and played it. And it wasn’t the game itself that broke me.

It was the fact that I liked it.

I had assumed for so long that I wouldn’t have liked it. Why would I? I hate everything. I hate you. I hate games. I hate myself. There’s nothing I’d ever like or even love and obviously no one could ever like me either.

But I loved that game. And it showed me that the toxic effect of all this self-hatred had done nothing to help me.

I thought that by telling myself I was non-binary I’d be safe from the fear of a “botched transition.”

Whatever that means.

I just want to be me.
I want to be happy.
I want to be loving.
I want to be optimistic.
I want to be caring.
I want to be free.

To free myself from this poison and learn who I am, I need to stop feeling like I’m not worth the truth. Like I am deserving of this hatred. Like I am deserving of this lie.

I’m still not sure who I am. But I do know that I still just want to be me.

And if “me” is a woman. Then so be it.

I’m Kim. And I am a trans woman.

Thanks for reading <3

Big plans for this year, y'all.

First of all, can I get some love to my dear friend Penny at https://www.furaffinity.net/user/pennyfarflying/ please? She's been a great friend and support throughout the years I've known her. And she's also been a wonderful collaborator for the Gateworld fantasy setting that I just started a webcomic in. Feel free to follow her for some excellent fantasy fiction :)


Secondly, my webcomic has launched! It's a project I've worked on and off for the last 2 years, so the quality of the first pages is going to be rough. But it picks up in quality after the first 5. The comic is going to feature LGBTQA themes, political discussions and a lot of fantasy nonsense. Furries will also feature later in :P

So if you want to, feel free to take a look right here https://tapas.io/episode/2018496


Lastly, commissions are now officially open!

https://forms.gle/QpEgNDD8s8wEKU4WA
It's been a long time coming and since I have so much else to work on, I won't be hugely active but I hope to be able to do at least one per month. Maybe more if it's just pinups :P


And that's that for now. I hope you all have a good weekend and that we'll see more of each other this year than we did last year.

All the love - DangerCat

I've updated my standing commission form.

And similar to last time I updated it, here's an announcement. Please note that I'm not going to be able to work on any commissions for the remainder of 2020, but you are free to submit requests in the meanwhile for the sake of convenience.

https://forms.gle/QpEgNDD8s8wEKU4WA

I've done some soul searching over the course of this horrible 2020.

The result of which is that I've realized that I don't care for fame and notoriety that much. When I started doing this back in 2014 I had just graduated college and I was unsure of who I was and eager to see where live would take/make me. I guess I did get hooked on the buzz of being fairly popular in a niched community like this one and it went kinda disastrously on at least one other website.

Long story short, from September on I'm not going to post or update anything on deviantArt anymore. That site is bad on so many levels. But that doesn't mean I'm quitting drawing TFTG art, because as luck would have it, there's always Furraffinity. So from now on, FA is going to be my new home for TFTG and other lewd stuff.

The hype is real.

Well, in any case I made the reveal on dA earlier and I just thought that I should make a similar statement here. So let's have some fun :)

Not much else to say about that.

Fuck fascism, racism and sexism.

Okay, uhm... I guess I'll start with saying hi, Furaffinity friends.

How you doin'? I'm doing fine. Got a new job, got exciting art projects on the side. Collaborating with my partner-in-loar, Pen. S'all good, you know.

I guess I'll just bite into it all here and spill the beans. Yes I was really sick of doing TF/TG art a year ago. I really didn't want to make it the thing I was known for so I quit it. But I never really wanted to end it once and for all - Even though a very vocal part of my fanbase on dA sure made me feel that way later that year.

Whatever though. That's in the past and I feel more relaxed and stable now. And while I'm not really feeling up to doing TF/TG art as much as I did a few years ago, I do feel more interested in cracking back into it now. As you may have seen in the latest pieces I submitted.

So long story short. I will be doing more of that when I feel like it. Which is more now than like a year ago. And also commissions.

Yes, Commissions are open again on a standing offer and you can submit a request here https://forms.gle/7R5Xf3mKRTdEKTTX8

Please bear in mind though that I'm gonna limit commissions only to ideas that interest me. And the quality level is restricted to what you've seen this year. The reason for that is because I don't want to suffer a burnout like I did last time. I want to keep it clean, simple and sweet.

So TL;DR: I'm "back?" but not in the same way I used to be back. And commissions are open on a standing basis.

Thanks for reading and have a good weekend! :)

Hi!

I'm really sorry to say this so late, but I've decided to quit TF art.

The decision is final and I'm sorry to just drop this out of nowhere here on my Furaffinity fans unlike what I've done on dA.

But if you want more details you should read this https://www.deviantart.com/thedange.....0%3A1534518385 in which I explain why I needed to stop.

And then you should read this https://www.deviantart.com/thedange.....ment-758638461 to understand why I'm sticking with it.

Thanks for all your time and love. You have all been wonderful, but I need to do something else with my life.

- DC

I'm gonna take a week or two off from doing anything DangerCat related.

I've got so much burnout right now that everytime I log on to either deviantART or Furaffinity I get angry.

For reals. I fucking cannot stand any of this right now.

PS. Don't approach me in notes or discord. I don't need that.

mmmMmm... Mango-flavoured tea.

So as is standard for summers, post-summers and new years, I tend to announce plans for the upcoming times ahead. Mostly because things tend to change drastically for me and my life situation every 4-5 months and this summer is no exception.

First up on the list is that I have a new job. A pretty damn nice one both in terms of pay and responsibilities, so that's a good thing I think. Unfortunately they've made it pretty clear that it's only for the summer, but you know, I'm fine with that because a decent income for a few months is better than nothing. And it's a really good thing to put on my résumé.

That does lead us to my next point on the list which is that I was hoping I could take in a few commissions during the summer because, paradoxically, it's easier for me to take commissions when I'm already employed by someone else than if I'm self-employed. However, I've decided to not take commissions at all this summer despite all of that.

Womp-womp...

The reason for why I've decided to not take any commissions at all this summer is because for the first time in over 7 months now, I finally have the time and economic freedom to work on my own things again. Not that I haven't enjoyed doing commissions, some of my favourite sequences ever were from last year's commissions. But I have had projects in the backlog since October last year and I want to freaking work on them now!

But it's not like those projects are boring and TF-unrelated. I'm back into doing Gateworld TFs and stuff. There's a big lewd TFTG comic in the works. I feel the urge to do Speefs again. And since I quit playing Paladins a few months ago I have a final Señor Moustache minicomic too. So there will be STUFF coming but I'm gonna need my free time to work on those things instead of commissions.

Also, people have been asking about The Heavy Transformation Show #1 a few times now and I guess I should just drop the bomb about it. It's going to be released for free next month. In fact, that big lewd TFTG comic in the works will also be released for free. It just feels like the right thing to do.

So yeah, that's the summer. Sorry to those who were interested in commissions :/

Heyo, Furries and TFans and everyone outside and in-between.

Writing this quick update for everyone on FA because I mostly converse with people who follow me on dA and it's unfair to keep you guys out of the loop.

The financial situation in March was fixed pretty much the same week that I announced the emergency commission sale, I've been on pretty solid ground for a while now. Which is good, but my goal isn't to start up commissions again like I've done in the past. I came to the conclusion that I'm just not the right person/artist to do TF art for a living. Many reasons why but the ultimate reason comes down to my slowness and slightly-more-focus-on-realism-than-is-necessary-ish style. If my style was as slick and stylized as Artist-Chan's or BSB's, I could maybe do it, but I like my style.

So in conclusion I will re-open commissions in the future, but I will do it in a much more limited fashion, fewer slots, fewer options, less frequently. Maybe more flash sales, because those are fun though.

I really just want TF art to be this extra gig I can make a few hundred bucks on every once in a while to buy random, unnecessary junk with. Because trying to live off of commissions proved to be too much of a responsibility. So I'm trying to find a "real job" again, and one might just be around the corner if I'm lucky :)

Either way, I'm super thankful for everyone's support and kind comments and I'm sorry I so rarely interact with FA as much as I do dA. I'm never giving up TF art either, it's too much fun and I have a lot of personal TF art in the pipeline right now so look forward to that :D

Until next time!

EDIT
Holy smokes!

First of all! I cannot freaking believe how nice you all are! The reception to helping me out has been off the charts and I am humbled like I have never been humbled before. I love you all

Honestly, I did not at all expect to be helped out like this so fast. But it happened and I don't even... I'm just so thankful :)

snf... you made me so happy!

But unfortunately I had to close the form just now because I got so many submissions today that I'm afraid that I'd wake up tomorrow with like 100 new ones. I didn't actually get 100 btw, but I got a lot of them and while I'm sooo gosh darn happy for having friends and fans like y'all, I only really needed to get out of a stupid jam I'd gotten myself into and capitalizing on your generosity would be kinda uncool.

Like, I know, it's not technically "generosity" because you're paying me for a job, but still, this is way cool and nice and generous. And I've gotta be cool and nice back and actually deliver on this stuff so I gotta put a limit somewhere, right?

Right?

Yeahhhh... Thanks again :)

I just sent out the invoices to everyone who submitted a commission to the form, but be warned that I did it all pretty much in one swoop, so there might have been a mistake or two. So PLEASE, read through the invoice and make sure that if there are any mistakes, tell me and I'll fix it :)

Furthermore. I'll be sketching these pictures during the rest of the week. I'll try to send them out for proofing on Saturday or Sunday and then finish them starting next week. In case I can't finish your sketch this week, I'll send out notices to all who won't get one and try to give estimates for completion.

Thanks again, everyone!

---

Well, I'm an idiot.

I don't like getting into details about how dumb I can be sometimes. But all in all, I'm in dire need of cash within the next two weeks so in short:

EMERGENCY PIN-UP SALE!
Submit your commission in the form linked below.

Yeah, only pin-ups and before&afters this time. I'm kinda filled up with other projects and responsibilities to work with (none of which actually pay me...) and with the urgency here I wanna keep things neat, tidy and fast. However, if you commission me this time, I'm perfectly okay with giving you a reasonable discount in the future when I open up for serious again :)

A few details first though.

Because time is of the essence I would appreciate it if I'm allowed to send out invoices before sending you a sketched preview to proof, which is why there's an option in the new form for that:

Because this is an emergency, are you okay with me sending you an invoice before I send you a sketched preview?

*Yes
*No

If you put in "yes" for this option, I'll be sending you an invoice and an email notification pretty much as fast as I'm able to. And because I'm in this hot mess right now, I would have to finish the sketches for those who put in "no" first so that I can send them the invoices quickly as well. However, I will still finish these commissions in order of payment.

Also, if you put in "yes," I will still send you sketches to proof before I finish your commission.

So if you put in "no," you'll get the sketch/es before those who put in "yes." But if you put in "yes," you'll be first in the list for completion.

This sounds a little complicated but if you have any questions, just ask. There are no stupid questions :)

I'll be keeping this form open for as long as I need to but I will probably close it on Sunday at the latest.

To submit a commission request, here's the link :)

Sorry about not using Furaffinity as much as I probably should. I'll be trying to focus more on this place now that I killed my tumblr.

Love and kisses!
