Well, I am back from my first ever convention and I have to say I had a blast. It was incredibly fun meeting up with old friends and making new friends in the process. We laughed and talked about all things geek culture and furry, good times.

I have to thank my other half Calgor for without whom I wouldn't even been thinking about going. He actually went through and paid for the travel and the convention itself so my heart goes to him and hopefully I will pay him back for the wonderful things he does.

The panels have been great, Uncle Kage was funny, Gideon was very informative. Even though I was late to the macro fur-meet Rogue was kind enough not to eat the train I was on, on the way home. I also feel a little rejuvenated when it comes to drawing so you might expect some more art from me sometime soon.

Speaking of art, I am going to be continuing the live streams very soon as I plan to use the money to save up for my next convention. If you are on the list and wish to pull out then feel free to give me a message.

It has been a wonderful con, now I am going to digest all that steak and cake.

For those who are unaware of what is happening, for the past three days there have been riots throughout London, Liverpool, Bristol and Birmingham causing massive amount of damage, looting and threatening lives of the local people. The cause of the riots are unclear but some believe it is after Mark Duggan was shot by police as he resisted arrest after an exchange of gun fire. Still, this is no excuse of going out and causing so much damage in these riots which consist of criminal thugs than people with a cause.

My thoughts go out to the family of Mark as I believe they are horrified with the results. Rumours are now flying abound and there are some people who think my city of Southampton maybe hit tonight or Friday. I am going to leave them as rumours at the moment. I am less anxious and more annoyed by these stupid people. To all my friends in the UK and to my wonderful boyfriend I wish you all well and my thanks go to the police who are handling the situation with professionalism.

That's right, on the 17th of August I will be heading to Magdeburg in Germany for the up and coming Eurofurence. I am really excited for this as it will be my first furry convention ever and I hope I will be able to see some of you wonderful gentlemen and ladies there. I will be coming with my wonderful Calgor where we plan to have a good time seeing the panels. I will be bringing my sketchbook, pencils and pens so there will be a chance I could draw your character in person.

I hope I will see you there.

Good morning everyone

Before I go to the topic at hand I want to tell everyone that I will not be streaming this weekend as I will be visiting my boyfriend due to real life issues that have been plaguing me.

I did it again, swan dived head first into the shallow waters of impulsiveness. I wanted to make a persona for on-line and have Draconder the dragon be his own character. This was more the fact I loved birds and felt I wasn't really showing it so I made Mike, the macaw. Like many of my previous attempts at cannonballing into change I felt that I missed the big, chubby dragon more and discovered that I want that dragon to be my on-line persona after a week.

I will be keeping Mike for certain occasions, I like the bird but I will be remaining to be the scaly butt that I have been. Note to self, jumping head first into puddles is not a good idea.

I have learnt a lot from the last week's streams and I am going to take all that awesomeness and put it all into Saturday's Livestream. There will be commentary from me and a large variant of different and wonderful fetishes involved. It is not too late to join in as I am now storing the names on a list in order of who I am going to draw for so feel free to note me what you would like including a reference with your ideas. The pictures will be either full coloured head shots or inked body shots.

Rules:
1. The commission should be posted either as a note or a comment on the journal.
2. Requests should involve reference picture and a brief description of the idea
3. If you don't want to mention your name please make mention on the message.
4. Payments will be made via Paypal to a minimum of 50 pence.
5. The artist reserves the right to decline a commissioner.

When and Where:
It will be starting on Saturday at 20:00 GMT (15:00 EST) at https://www.livestream.com/draconder

List:
Myr
Real
Light-the-Lucario
ZhirVolk

Now I do enjoy drawing fat furry but I also enjoy drawing a large variety of subjects such as vanilla, hyper and especially macro.

Starcraft 2

I have been playing a lot of Starcraft 2 of late since one of my friends introduced me to a SC commentator and analysis Sean “Day[9]” Plott if you enjoy the game I urge you to watch him. I have been playing the game on the European servers for a while clambering up the ladder and I find myself running for first place in my silver league ladder. The game is incredibly fun and I wonder if anyone else plays the game here?

Day9 Daily #233 - TLO vs White-Ra

Terribly sorry for what has happened. Tonight I froze and I could not draw or even bare speaking. With the tablet braking down in the first five minutes, not able to get anything on paper and me being absolutely tired made for rubbish viewing.

I am going to take some time to ponder but this weekend there will not be a stream. Once again I am sorry.

I would like to say sorry to both Dragoneer and Mustoshi. They have been incredibly patent with me after a year or waiting for their commissions. I am shamed that I will not be able to fullfill that to them both.

The requests they had made were very good and was a topic which I really enjoyed. I have, however, lost my motivation to draw and colour seeing what I owed. I over estimated myself and I am sorry. I need to gather my thoughts. I hope this will be a step in the right direction.

What makes matters more embarrasing is that they had paid upfront and now I am unable to refund back the full amount of what is owed to them. I have come to an agreement with Dragoneer and sent a message to Mustoshi to pay back in monthly amounts. I wish this to be public because I want them to know that I will pay them both back.

Refund status

 Dragoneer Money owed $100 ($50 repaid)
 Mustoshi Money owed $60 ($30 repaid)

While looking around on the magical realm of the internet, perusing for crocodile references I came across this website that has a nice short story that I believe those fond of weight gain and vore may find interesting. It is a story about a crocodile using his tears to convince a tribe to feed him before the island sinks only to have a more greedy ambition in mind.

I always seemed surprised how many friends of mine tell me they are surprised that I haven't told them when it is my birthday until it is too late. I feel this year I will do something different and to announce that tomorrow on the 22nd September will be my birthday where I will be stomping around this planet and eating planes for 24 years.

I am not used to announcing to others about the day of my birth. I always felt it was nothing of great import. Ah well, here is to another year.
