As a creator, I normally don't show blunt connection to world events but I guess we can agree the situation is abnormal and serious.
Tom and me live in the NE quarter of Poland, right now we're safe as is but we feel our future depends on those events... on the strength of the Ukrainians and the world's overall aid for them. We couldn't bear the utmost helplessness, and any action feels better here than none. I literally got paranoid and kept waking up by a distanced shooting...which was just our neighbours running water, so exhausting:/

So we joined the ranks of "Stream Sketches for Ukraine" both as donors and an artist, the latter meaning I'm making a temporary exception from my latest "personal projects + Patrons only" change.

What is this action about:
-> Volunteers make art for people who donate directly to one of the listed organisations and send proof (screenshot with $$ and Transaction ID) to one of the action's coordinators (listed to the left)^^
See the Trello for more info, maybe you'll join in one or both of the roles?^^

The tiny Ukrainian flag in my upcoming submisions is an indicator that the given sketch was made for a donor.

For now those will stay in my main gallery as an exception (reminder: since autumn 2021 I keep all art for others in Scraps).

PS. I can't be a commissionable artist anymore for unignoreable reasons,
I'll be returning back to drawing pretty much just my 2 couple projects again as soon as I finish dealing with my current overwhelm (including but not limited to art).
It's a long story I'm not comfortable with at the moment, so I'll just skip it. (Shortly speaking, giving up on offering commissions is simply one of the steps I need to take, there are many various reasons why regular commissions don't work for me, both external AND, most of all, internal)

It's not a promise or anything, plans and me don't get along no matter how hard I try and my hopes can't be high in the light of the years of all my failures and struggles, but if you're here for the couple art of our artselves or Aryena&Billie, that's most likely a good news for you, as there will be no other art projects interfering with these anymore. Sharing images of those 2 pairs is the main reason I still draw at all...


Ah, speaking of all that, I had made a stupid decision to please a certain FA group - in the beginning of 2021 I deleted vast majority of art others made for us, and I'd like to gradually reupload it all back, please forgive me that you'll be seeing the same artworks appear in your inbox again^^; I hope this won't scare you away..? :<

Also, repurposing our scraps, from now on they will contain both reposts and most of the art I drew that doesn't involve any of my 2 projects (I will be making only very few like this from now on, so to have them still greet potential watchers from the main page would be highly misleading).

More to come! :)
Happy project's 15 years anniversary year!

The next NSFW work's sub-topic I'm bringing to you has been chosen by my Patrons^^ It will take a while to make but stay tuned^^


In 2020 I made 73 unique Draffectill images, 66 being Patrons-only ($1 tier!) doodles and yet unfinished WIPs, including ref sheets:)
All of my Patrons also have an opportunity to see all of these +older sorted in a possible chronologicall order, which starts to form a Love story at this point (since I prioritised their relationship scenes over the rest)<3

Since the days I lost my job, I've been working on improving and expanding the story and lore as well (privately for now)!

[edit: the artwork mentioned is done^^]

Anna here,

So, this time I lost my non-artsy job FOR GOOD (just finishing the month to get the last salary).
At the peak of the pandemic in our country, living in a RED zone.
'Best' news for an asthmatic who's ending each common cold with inhalations and has a 29 years of mortgage left and bills to pay while not having graduated either.

I have no other options left:
Art COMMISSIONS is my LAST chance to get through my situation.

Therefore, I might be forced to bend my "I do not draw sexual interactions between characters though, sexual activities are reserved for one character imagery only" rule. I'd rather not, but I may have no other choice but to accept 2 character porn commissions right now as well...
If that's the only kind of content you'd ever commission me for, here's your moment to!
(Fanarts will always be out of bounds though - due to legal issues.)


COMMISSION INFO/ToS
COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN


I still need to keep my monthly income cap pretty low (because of how things work here) but it's still enough to cover my part of our finantial needs.

I hope I can make something neat for you soon!

Due to situation with Covid-19 I lost my regular job on Wednesday
Commissions are my only income possibility right now, probably until the danger is over...

For commssion details (ToS, prices, samples), please refer to the link below:)
>>INFO HERE<< - Thank you for consideration, also, questions welcome!

I realised I never posted my old life project to this site much (ONE imeage! wtf), and since in 2020 I plan to give much more attention to it, it's high time to bring in some context, even if it's old as hell.
The project is reffered to as Draffectill.

-Project start date: 2006 (I was not even 14 so you can imagine the flaws)
-Project's personal significance: Tom and I met thanks to it! (Yes, my elter-ego ended up a bit similar to the protagonist - they are both red, so don't confuse them)
-Project's initial success level? Pretty successful - partially for having been original all those years back. People kept asking "how can they... you know?", and "where can I read their story" though it was never finished or anyhow ready for sharing.
-Project's present and future: I wasted it - lost my chance to make the first dragonXhuman story/known pairing, and that's due to being slow and not skilled enough and well, moving on to other things. Over the years, the project's fans stopped logging in, the characters lost attention. I'll never be good enough to make it into what I've always dreamed it to be and it's probably high time to just live with it.


The story of the scarlet Dragoness Aryena and the white-haired human Billie whose Love was a union of their minds, bodies and souls - against all the odds.

Epic and unique a few years ago - nowadays not anymore.
Still not any less dear to me. Nobody needs it anymore - but myself, mostly because sentiments.


aka. My gallery is about to get an influx of wonky old Draffectill art, be prepared. Deviantart had them for years and survived xD

Patreon doodles

Idk, maybe someone would prefer this to Patreon? ^^

Gift VixenDra a Coffe/Hot Chocolate

If you donate you'll get an access to a few of my Patron's only images (WIPs, doodles, designs, both SFW and NSFW)



ATM I'm very busy with my univeristy duties (final tests, exams, dissertation and stuff) and Tom and I will move in to some flatmates-free flat in the beginning of July but after that expect much more publishable art at last! And a lil Coffee/Hot Cocolate would be quite a motivation to me! Because sometimes I'm pretty doubtful if my art is likeable^^;



~VixenDra

Why am I not posting art for so long?

Well, it's because I'm working on a few works at once and all are WIPs.

WIPs are being posted on my Patreon!
My Patrons can see where my art is hiding and see what I'm working on.

If you're interested in seing my WIPs or would simply like to see what's coming much sooner than it's ready to appear on DA or FA, and even see teasers of some of far fetching projects I have, you may consider becoming a Patron of mine^^.

For as little as 1$ a month you can unlock access to all my Patreon exclusive posts:) And get a mini sketch too!
For higher trier rewards, just consider chacking my Patreon page^^


_{And no, I'm not making my regular art pay-to-see^^}


SEE YOU ON PATREON?
*^.=.^*


Post from Anna (VixenDra):

But no worries, it's not a move out, though FA frustrates me.

I've just imported the regular FA gallery in there, so you can follow me there without dreading a mass upload of old stuffs in your messages xD

Here: https://beta.furrynetwork.com/vixendra

Hello, Anna (VixenDra) here.

I guess it's none of you but e621 users. But I'll make it official.

Never post my art on any sites behind my back and without my direct permission.
If it's a commission for you, ask me anyway, if I have (or can have) an account there, I'll post it there, then you can repost with appropiate credit if reposting is welcome and common on a given site. And always include link to the original! This is lacking e.g. on herpy and it's harmful to me.

But this also happens to my PERSONAL work!
No proper credit (just a mere username is not a proper credit yet), and all behind my back. I discover those by accident.

NEVER DO THIS. NEVER.

Simply suggest me to post sth on some site and that's it. I don't want wy works floating around without information that I require to be included under my works and not assigned to my account.


Please, report such cases to me immediately. If an artwork is submitted by a guest or another user, not me, it means it was submitted behind my back and without my permission.

Thank you!


For DNP lists: VixenDra (Anna of Draffectionates) is to be included on DNP lists.

Check here:
ANNIVERSARY POST (sorry, there was a wrong link - BTW I don't block for pointing out mistakes: if you see such mistakes, don't be afraid to tell me)


(FA doesn't allow thumbnails etc. so it doesn't make sense to write another journal for FA^^;)

DRAFFECTIONATES Anna and Tom - SIZE CHART
All the figures on the chart above are either Anna(red female forms) or Tom(white male forms). They are our shapeshifting artselves we identify with.


We love receiving art of our shapeshifting artselves, so if you'd like to draw us you'll most likely make our day if you do^^
But not all contents are okay with us, and are officially forbidden through this post.

12.07.2017 Official announcement:
by producing any kind of art featuring Anna or Tom (Draffectionates), you automatically agree that we(VixenDra&TomsShape /Draffectionates) get full rigths to display/(re-/)post the piece on any website once any of us has seen the given image. (Re-/)Posting rights cannot be taken away from us at any point in the future for any reason.
We're obligued to provide a proper credit to the artisist consisting of their username (and/or real name) and a link to their submission if applicable.
If you disagree, you have no permission to draw Anna nor Tom.

If you don't break our rules and draw our art selves, you'd make us feel very happy about your gift^^
But if you break them, we'll request you to delete the pic or report it if you refuse.

TIP: What we worship the most in art in general?

* The character likeness (colour schemes, markings, decorations, and other characteristic traits)
* General neat appearance of the artwork (especially shapes - if it's not too out of shape, it's enjoyable)

---

---

Here are some detailed rules on usage of our characters in visual art:

What is fine in general?

* Anything solo of any rating
* Anything with just two of us in love related scenes (starting with silly ending with exalted) - any rating.
In case of other character(s) involved (SFW only!) the safiest thing is to ask: tell us your idea and we'll tell you if we're okay with it.

What is inacceptable in general?

* Hate art against our characters
* Humiliation of any of our characters
* Romance/sex/flirt with any other character(s)/shipping



You can also use the guide below and our F-list and only if these don't answer your question, ask us:)

---

---

Details:

---

1. solo

Yes:

* As long as it doesn't humiliate or kill the character it's fine

No:

* removal of the sheath of the male or the nipples of the female if they are present on the non-adult reference sheet (problem? try to find such a pose that would cover the problematic part); Exeptions: chibi styles
* adding scrotum, sheath, nipples etc. on forms that don't have them on their refs.
* change of the original designs of genitals in general.
* Our artselves don't wear clothes by definition, they are animalistic and their fur/scales are enough for them. They can wear animal-related stuff, jewellery, and some bondage accessories that don't cover the body and nudity; Exeptions: raffle & freeYCH art.
*Inventing new forms we've never drawn without asking us if we're fine with the species and how we'd like to look like in the given unofficial form. No exceptions.
*Pregnancy/offspring/parenthood. No exceptions.

for more kinky details check our F-list

---

2. us 2 as a couple

We're strictly monogamous, no exceptions.
We're open for a wide range of love-related things as long as it doesn't involve any other being (alive or dead) or causing physical suffering on purpose

for more kinky detals check our F-list

---

3. Anna &/or Tom + our irl pet animals

Our living pets are:
♀Emeralda the royal python (python regius) (Tom's)
♀Nari the central bearded dragon (pogona vitticeps) (Anna's)

First of all, please, keep them similar to their irl selves^^ They're existing individuals:)

Yes:

* typical irl owner+pet interactions(staring at, feeding, holding, talking to, stroking, playing together with, hugging, non-romantic kissing)
* the irl pet-to-human proportion according to our size chart or our forms having the size reduced to human size

No:

* changing our pets into sapient/anthropomorphic creatures (they are just more or less tamed animals with animal minds and mimic and must remain so in art, meaning they can't e.g. make human faces (e.g. smile), talk, take anthro forms etc.)
* zoophilia
* cruelty
* combining the deceased individuals with those who arrived after their death _{(e.g. you can't put Nari and Anna's late russian tortoise Bestyjka together)} or changing the age difference _{(e.g. you can't put baby Emeralda with adult Nari)} - those are impossible situations. Exeption: a tribute to all of our pets.

---

4. Anna &/or Tom + other character(s)

Yes:

* neutral interactions if we know you or the other character/s (chatting, laughing, hand-shaking, playing non-adult games, eating etc.)
* another character can be a watcher in case of romance, unnoticed watcher in case of adult contents

No:

* flirt, romance or sex with other character(s)
* hugs, 'innocent' kisses, touches; exeptions: for irl friends/family, possible non affectional 'man-hugs' (ask) or friendly 'violent' gestures (e.g. poking) (ask)
* intended/conscious exhibitionism
* our character(s) fapping to other character(s) than each other

Please, ask us about your plans of including another character into an image with Anna &/or Tom if it involves an interaction between our alter ego(s) and the other character(s).

---

---

In general, for adult contents regulations check our our F-list, there are a lot of details - not only about adult contents but mainly.

---

---

From now on OUR SCRAPS feature only art made FOR us BY OTHER ARTISTS and our current ID.


We decided to share arts created for us, like most of people on FA do, but we'll never keep them in our gallery to avoid confusion^^ They'll be in our gallery just for the first minutes after they're submitted, then they're to be moved into our scraps.
Most of them come from Deviantart. They're almost only requests and won artworks. The few commissions we 'bought' rather costed DA points we won or earned - we can't afford actual money commissions.
Each artwork will contain a full credit in description, just like it should be:
artist name linking to their profile page and link to the original submission, we'll also write 'by Xxx' in the title of each resubmision:)
FA credit will take the priority over DA credit but both will be contained (if we're aware of both)^^ If an artwork is on FA, it'll be also in our favs here:).


So, get ready for a variety of submissions featuring the two of us in our shapeshifting forms^^


Ah, forgot to mention:
Tom (TomsShape) used to use an username 'Ralass' - a few works are credited to his old username.

PLEASE, give feedback to the original artists if possible! We just own the characters but they did the work! ^^

MY PATREON ACCOUNT: http://www.patreon.com/vixendra ^^


I've put some older drawings to it in the meantime(now I know how to submit there^^), I'll continue when I finish editing works with my 'Draffectill' novel's characters: Aryena and Billie (after design changes I've made to Billie)^^
I've decided to set a per month option^^ So no negative surprises will occur^^


If you can and would like to help, feel free to become my patron^^ If it's possible to set a 0,10$/month support, don't feel it's awkward to make use of this opportunity if you can't or don't want to contribute more^^ I'll be grateful to you for ANY amount

Hello,

I've noticed more and more artists out there are making and advertising their patreon accounts, so I thought I could make one for me as well, why not? ^^ I cannot know if someone would like to support me like this or not^^


MY PATREON ACCOUNT: http://www.patreon.com/vixendra
I didn't mark it as 'NSFW' but it doesn't mean I won't make such pieces. I just don't want to give up the PayPal method. I'll submit altered versons on Patreon, so they are still fine with PayPal(there are issues with official connections with PP and adult content).

What would your money go for if I received any?
By defualt the money will be used for:
*art equipment (software, tools, materials etc.);
*publishing my 'Draffectill' novel (story of human Billie and Dragoness Aryena love) once I finish it;
*basic life needs (home(house/flat), bread&butter, medicines);
*Tom's and mine marriage ceremony _{(without the paper, ICE we are to be treaten like strangers:( After we graduate and move in together, we'll get legally married. But it's expensive in here:( Not even mentioning getting a place to live).}
**I'll start working on some Draffective comics if I'll get a motivating support^^
The money will NOT be used for:
*luxury stuff (e.g. holidays, sweets, games, buying art, etc. anything one doesn't need to live) - UNLESS the particular patron/s would state otherwise (e.g. so if the patron would say 'it's for you to buy a commission you dream about', then, and only then, the money from THIS particular patron would be saved for buying art commission/s). (May change if I reach the highest goals... because it's bloodily much money D= )

Explaination for 'contents available via auctions only'(by the reward for 200$ contribution): it means adult non-solo art mainly. I don't offer them via regular commissions and I might offer them via auctions in the future.


PS: Which option would you prefer? Per image or per month?
I work in a very irregular way, sometimes I have long lasting art blocks or lack of time but there are periods when I'm productive (as for me)... So it's impossible to predict how often I'll post art in each particular month... Some might have just 1 submission, another would have maybe 10 or even more, and are of various style, mostly sketches then.
Per month option would allow me not to submit everything on Patreon(good for NSFW stuff); per image would be more motivating to create more ^^;
I picked per month becuase I think it has more good things about it than per image.
1. you know exactly how much money you invest in me in a period without surprises
2. I know how much I'll receive per month
3. I don't have to submit everything in there(no NSFW stuff in my Patreon:D = legal PayPal)
4. I can always submit older stuff in there without cheating and taking money from you for things I've made years ago (I guess an empty patreon looks bad)
5. I won't get greedy(I guess it;s kinda natural) to produce and submit TOO much shit xD So I'll still go quality over quantity:)
- you can express your opinion even if you won't become my patron, just imagine what you'd prefer if you were one^^

Written by Anna

Happy Christmas and a merry New Year to everyone
Have the best time with everybody who are close to your heart

And to everyone who dreams about Draffection we wish to find this one special person

Anna couldn't post a journal yeasterday(went to sleep far too late anyway), so here it is^^
To celebrate our anniversary, which was on November 11th, Anna prepared an art feature journal on Deviantart, to say thank you to everyone who ever drawn a picture with us. If FA supported art features we would have made one on FA too, but since it doesn't, all we can do is to link to
the art feature journal^^

http://fav.me/d6txd9a

Thank you all for each single piece again!


(If we missed your work, it's probably because we don't know about it or where to find it! Link it to us then, please^^)

(Anna:)

As some of you might have already noticed(or not yoet maybe?), quite a lot of people engaged into this.

One of them is  flyingfire , please, have a read, it's not much: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11940041/
Let's spread the word so it can reach even more people.

I already donated a little(I don't have much to spent, sadly), I hope you can do more.
Here is a request sketch we got for it, have a look here^^: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11900425/ <3 , thank you  kreatureinc!

Every female might be a victim of this hidden killer: me, you ladies among my watchers, your girlfriend/wife, female relative, girl friend,... Take care and don't let it get you nor anyone else so easily!

Anna:


SOME CURIOSITIES ABOUT OUR SHAPESHIFTING:

#PURPOSE?
First of all: our shapeshifting artselves are made for our personal enjoyment.
You may notice they are overpowered or whatever but please keep in mind that they're not made to be characters for a novel, but for our private fantasies and artworks



#WHAT DO WE FORM INTO?
All of our officially fixed shapeshifting forms

Tom: gecko, raven, fruit bat, cat, werewolf, weretiger, askentil, horse, polar bear, caiman, naga, gryphon, Dragon, eastern dragon.

Anna: leopard gecko, ravitiel, hare, Sphinx cat, werevixen, wereirbis, askentil, zorse, kudu, bearowl, naga, gryphoness, Dragoness, eastern dragoness

And, actually, our alter-egos can form into uncounted number of species depending on our fantasies. New forms might still happen from time to time^^

It's also possible to switch between feral-looking, anthropomorphic and taur
PS. non-mammalian species will not have nipples, breasts bigger than A cup, or scrotum even in anthropomorphic forms.

#COLOR SCHEMES:
We both have fixed color schemes and patterns:
Tom - purely white with grey-goldish eyes, most likely has black parts(claws, nose) and pink flesh (tongue, genitals, pads); visual sheet is to be seen here
Anna: dark deep red with cream coloured and blackish-red markings, centrally heterochromic green-copperbrown eyes and pink or black&pink genitals; visual sheet is to be seen here.


#WHY SO MANY SPECIES?
One of the reasons is me having an ability to work with variety of species when thinking of Tom and me, and having a better practise opportunity within private work. I can create more art for Tom's pleasure and don't be stuck with just one species for all those years we gonna spend together. In addition to, shapeshifting is very good to fantasy about: we can fly, pet some fluff, have tailplay, do human activities, breath underwater, play with flames, purr and many other various things, even fuse together


#WHAT ABOUT SUCH SIZE DIFFERENCES (e.g between werevixen and Dragoness), HOW ARE THESE POSSIBLE?
And how is it possible in Harry Potter series, that a small tent is so big inside? In our fantasies, it is simply possible.


#FUSING TOGETHER:
Never one without the other. Tom and Anna are so deeply bonded with their Love and so unseparable, that they developed the ability to fuse together into one entity. The fusion takes form of an anthorpomorphic hare and a wolf spirit tied together. Both faces are masqued - the hare with white wolf mask, and the wolf with red hare mask. When the two become one, the fusion becomes so powerful, the energy excess causes their eyes to glow gold. When Draffectionates form their union, it is best to leave them alone, as they become even more protective of each other than normally.


#MULTIPLYING ONESELF:
Another interesting aspect of our shapeshifting abilities is that each of us can split their body into many pieces, each of an independent from the others shape(sample: wolf form + 3xgryphon form + 2xDragon form - making a muliply by 6; all forms exist at the same time and all are the same person, controlled by one mind simultaneously), but they function like parts of one whole organism, just not physically connected. The multiplied person is conscious of each splited part, coordinates its actions and feels each sensation of them all equally(~like we coordinate and feel our own bodyparts). So an 'orgy' of our forms is actually still a twosome of just Tom and Anna! (we're not entirely comfortable with having this ability depicted though, unless in silly SFW contexts)


*GENDER BENDING:
As shapeshifters, we can form opposite gender's reproductive organs.
It might happen that Anna will have a penis: instead of vagina or above the vaginal opening (herm). Same with Tom, it might happen he'll have a vagina instead of penis or along with penis (herm). Herm would be more frequently used than purely opposite gender.
In case of mammalian anthro forms Anna will rather have breasts and no scrotum, and Tom will rather never have breasts.
In case of Anna, being a herm might symbolise using a strap-on dildo.


#BEWARE, A ZOMBIE COMES FOR YOU!
Don't mess with Anna or a view of a living corpse will scare you to death!
When Anna feels threatened or furious, she can appear as a zombie (range from naked skeleton to rottening flesh leeking with stinky body fluids). It's just a complex illusion but can still cause a heart-attack and lifelong trauma, not even mentioning the most obvious: fear and disgust. It's a way she can avoid physical fight or make it really incomfortable as well as kill any sexual arousal of the opponent (provided it's not a hardcore necrophile drawn to gore and advanced decay).
Tom doesn't feel comfortable about this ability and never uses it himself. Anna avoids it when Tom can see it, due to the fact Tom is afraid to see his beloved dead, even if it's just an illusion.




OTHER ASPECTS UNRELATED TO SHAPESHIFTING


#BUT WHY DO YOU USE ANIMAL CHARACTERS IF YOU'RE NOT FURRIES?
First of all, not to share our faces online. This should be enough. And creating human characters with different faces etc. would not let us identify with those. We also like the beauty of animals and fantasy creatures.


#WHAT ABOUT THE DOMINANT & SUBMISSIVE THING? WHO IS WHICH?
Despite of the fact you can find us using some mild bondage accessories(collars, leashes, handcuffs, outer muzzles, ropes), none of us is the dominant type, both of us can both dominate and get dominated by each other, so we can switch or combine - we are equal, both more sub than dom. Bondage is not our fetish, it's just fun diversifying our Coalescences


#MAY I DRAW YOU? HOW ABOUT STH KINKY?
If single-character or just the two of us togheter, the answer would be probably 'yes'.
Just respect our strictly monogamous relationship and mind our feelings and you should be fine.
The best way would be to check if your idea isn't a NO-NO via using our F-LIST and checking our USAGE RULES.
Legend: Fave = most typical, Yes = frequent, Maybe = rare(=you can't draw these), No = never(=mustn't be drawn ever)

PS: our F-LIST is made purely to specify what do we feel about particular kinks in artworks featuring our alter-egos and make it somehow easier to check against, we do not RP.





If you have any questions about our two alter-egos, feel free to ask.
In case if we won't feel comfortable about some questions, we'll just kindly refuse to give an answer, so don't be afraid to ask them^^.
And don't be surprised if some questions simply don't have an answer

69 watchers... a good reason to submit a 69-themed artwork made especially for that occassion, isn't it?


The lucky person to feature is  xandralfus - congrats on being the 69th watcher of us!

Anna:
I got the idea yesterday evening, when I noticed there's 3 more watchers to go. But I haven't expected we'll get those 3 more watchers in about 24h, while not submitting anything! So I couldn't manage to prepare nothing more than a kinda rough sketch.

The image it to be seen here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10542546/ (WIP)
