So I found Weasyl thanks to a journal by , and I'm really REALLY wanting to join.

Sadly its a beta...you know what that means: Invitation only.

So, does anyone have an invitation for it? C:

Dusky.-

For the love of God...make me some questions!

Tumblr (I will draw the answer!)

:1 So bored trying to figure out some commissions. That it hurts.

Dusky.-

Dude...
I'm so glad and flattered.
;_; U guys, u guys make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Oh my!

Dusky.-

I sadly couldn't make a price chart like I wanted, but I had the price list so yeah...new prices.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3864920/

I will make a journal regarding prices in L$ (Lindens) during the week.
______

Also, I spent yesterday watching Legend of Korra.

I loved it, but I really disliked Korra at first. I don't know...way too stubborn and blunt for me. :X

And now I want a plush doll of Naga :B

Anyways, take care everyone :3

Details

*The prices are all in US Dollars.

*I only accept Paypal as payment, but if you're from Argentina, I can accept normal payment in Argentinean Peso. This will include a print of the work, not poster sized but good enough for you to enjoy it outside the computer.

*Extra characters cost +US$2 in Roughsketch/Lineart, while in colored artwork/shading the price is +US$4.

*I don't do yiff artwork. The artwork you see in my gallery is either practices or personal yiff art I did for someone. So please, don't.

*I do reject commissions if they are linked to strong/weird fetishes. Ask via note what I am willing or not to draw.

Roughsketch: US$ 2

I can do soft color, or flats.

Shading
Headshot: US$15
Fullbody: US$23

Shading is different depending on work. Soft color work needs to be shaded with brush, so it's a slightly harder process in comparison to flats.
Keep this in mind. :3

This is a shaded soft color: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8749732/

This is a hard-cell shading for flat color: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8749193/

Examples:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7867774/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7613159/

Front and back of character: US$40
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8816138/

Headshots on a reference cost only +US$5 extra
Pelts (a nice way to show markings at full) cost +US$3

The reference sheets are done without shading, to make it easier for artist to see details.
You can tell me the text you want on it, the style of fonts you would love and background color.

So I'm still planning the prices while waiting for anymore commission notes, and I just can't make it through the price chart.

I think I need tons of examples for it to actually be useful. And I also fail at managing with PSD files because I spent so much of my life with SAI that I'm not used to Photoshop anymore. LOL

So, at 23rd I will post only a journal with the new prices until I figure out that thing.

Also: I'm seriously considering to charge extra for fetishes or details in the new prices. :|

Anyways, I have a terrible toothPAIN (not ache, just PAIN), because one of my teeth broke.
It's actually still in there, just...hanging from the nerve, it seems. You don't know how painful it gets to eat.
So, excuse my terrible mean humor...I just hate the world. :|

Dusky.-

I will rise up all the prices (included lindens, though not certain) of all my commissions.
I already have all the new prices planned, and will do a proper price chart.

Meanwhile, you can get my work with the old prices posted here. Keep in mind the examples are really old, so if you want to see newer examples, just ask via Note or check the gallery:
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3331027/

The prices of commissions during stream will also rise up a little bit more. Not so much in comparison to the normal prices, but they will be a little less cheaper than before.

I know this is kinda surprising. But...you know, I actually checked that old price list and it's FAR too cheap. So I have to at least make the prices more fair to me.
And after checking around my HDD and art galleries, I realized I didn't had a single proper price chart.
So, I decided to kill two birds with one stone, and balance more fairly the prices for a new price chart of sorts. :P

The old prices would stay until 23rd of September.
At 23rd of Semptember the new prices would be posted along a commission chart (you know, that neat images with tons of examples that look really awesome and proffessional).

Important: No, this will not affect old commissions that are still in the queue. Keep calm! :)

Dusky.-

So I decided to try to use at least Terraria, since Minecraft will not work with my CPU (technological waste computer is waste).
I actually had to use Steam for it, something I was totally against since I don't get the use of Steam for games. LOL

Now, Terraria does not work.
This problem seems to do with my graphic card (no surprise, its a really old graphic card from 2003...yes, 2003), and I had been trying to update the drivers/controllers. So far, no luck and I almost broke my OS.

Maybe someone can help me out?

Oh, also: Steam name is "badgerlicious". In case you want to add me or something. I really don't get the use of Steam :X

Dusky.-

So sadly, I didn't saved as much as I thought of one of the commissions I was doing while streaming, and the stream crashed...and SAI crashed, and took all that work with it.

Anyways, thanks everyone who joined the last stream.
I really don't know what is going on, it doesn't seem to work so good anymore.

No more streaming for tonight :c

Dusky.-

So, I finally made it for SL to work on my PC, and now I can actually enjoy it!

I want to buy the Tokushi Natural Fox - Platinum (I just wub platinum foxes), And I have to save L$1900 so I can buy the Anthro and the Feral one. :)

I will be taking commissions for this, since I can't pay via Paypal and buy myself some Lindens like a grown ass woman. (I will never ever ever give my credit card information. Leave me alone Paypal!)

The prices go from L$500 to L$900:

L$500 - Lineart only, no color
Examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8553611/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7814705/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7830202/


L$700 - Lineart and color
Can be with or without shading, your choice.
Examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7813244/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8487493/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7881665/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8565435/

L$900 - Painting
These take really long time, with or without a background, so you can pay me L$450 first, and L$450 after I'm done.
Examples:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7654991/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7554151/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6887644/
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7396416/

L$1900 or gifting me the Tokushi Natural Fox-Platinum (Anthro or Feral) - lineart+ lineart with color+ painting for you.
Consider that a bundle of everything.

I will not be doing the promised stream today. It's a stormy horrible day in Argentina and will probably keep like that up until midnight.

So, to don't risk my computer and the stream itself (I'm not sure about my internet connection at all during storms), I will try to move it for next week. I'm so sorry, but I didn't expected such an horrible day.

__________

I have a random question aside from the commissions and stuff.

I want to try Terraria, but I just HATE Steam. Is there any way to play Terraria WITHOUT Steam installed/Steam bothering?

And, do you think Terraria will work with an ATI RADEON 9200? It's really old, with 178mb or something. I really don't know much about graphic cards. Any help would be appreciated.

Dusky.-

Hi guys, I don't always make publicity for anything really, but today I saw this on my Facebook feed and I say "THIS IS TOO AWESOME!".

You must know The Oatmeal. He is one of that real good motherfucking guys who make fun shit you probably know, like "How to suck in your religion", "Why Nikola Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived", "Cat vs Internet" and so on.
Probably heard from him due to all the drama with FunnyJunk.

Anyways, he is actually thinking of playing it BIG. And now this round of raising funds is to buy the land where Tesla's laboratory and build a Tesla Museum.
Yeah, that big.

This actually made me think of make a donation myself, and then, ya know...probably you guys want to do so as well.
I mean, Tesla was the most awesome guy who ever lived, and pretty much no one (except for musical coils) know about him.

And yeah, I know I will probably never see that museum IRL. But you know what? I think that a museum to a guy who wanted to give free electricity to everyone, invented pretty much all the shit and helped science (while never getting recognized by it, actually) deserves a museum.

If you don't want to donate, spread the word. The world needs more Tesla museums...At least that would be far better than the Museum to Evita Peron (The guys from Argentina who watch me just cringed in pain) or a Museum of Wool.

The Oatmeal's campaign:

Totally doing stream commissions today.
Its a rainy boring day in Buenos Aires :C

So, if you want to commission, post a comment here. So we have everything tidy and neat for the stream and we are not all posting links and links on the chat.

The stream will start in two hours if I don't get a response from the Argentinean Bronies regarding a meet today. In case I get news and I can go, I will post a journal saying that the stream will not be done today, but probably on saturday, and I will work then.

EDIT: Forgot to add the prices (DERP), thanks to Juan2Records for making me notice that. :B

All via Paypal, of course. Pay only when I tell you on the stream, please.

US$2 Sketch - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8459655/ - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8459617/

US$3 Lineart - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8553611/

Ok, we all use this site, so read them.
READ THEM!

And let us discuss them later on, if you want.
__________

I have a serious issue with the COC.
You know the story, I have some crazy stalker, who likes to watch. She is creepy.

And they offer the WORST-SOLUTION-EVER, which is "ignore-block-hide".
Now, let me compare this with another worst solution EVER: Remember when your mom told you, when you were a kid, that you should avoid talking to the bully at the playground?

And even if you didn't talked to him, he will hit you anyway and steal your money?

Yeah, is that bad.

You know what would work better? DON'T TAKING OVER A MONTH TO ANSWER TO A TROUBLE TICKET.
They know that the block option does not work if the person generates a sock account.
But most importantly...if you take a whole month to actually answer a trouble ticket, you're pretty much like a fireman arriving to a burning house when the fire is already extinguished and everyone is dead.

I'm cool, I will not complain...but makes me wonder what happens to more serious issues. Do they take three months or something?

Now, let's talk about happy things! The AUP is updated, and it looks slightly sexy.

Everyone is mad all over SL/3D policy.

Here is something you guys should keep at hand:
Unique Content & Flooding
Users may upload content so long as the submissions contain original, unique content. No more than 3 variations of the same image (including works-in-progress) may be uploaded.
Blank/Text Based Visual Submissions - Submissions containing basic text, or which are otherwise void of visual content, will be removed. All text-based submissions should be submitted as writing.
Streaming Notifications - To avoid flooding, members are permitted to upload one streaming notification per 12 hours.

I asked and spamming "I HAZ ART RAFFLE" or "I TAEK REQUESTS" or "ZOMG STREAM" is falling under Flooding.
So let us avoid such thing. Know someone who posts and later deletes? That falls under Flooding too. Note them, tell them is not OK. Save humanity.

According to the new rule, you can only submit ONE streaming notification per 12 hours. That means 1.
Can't be journal+submission. Its either journal or submission.
So pick well what you're going to use.

I will not talk about the Photography issue. Everyone is already really mad at it.
But to resume: There is now a limit regarding the upload of photos.
Don't get mad! Use this as a way to keep a Flickr or something for all your photos, instead of using a FURRY COMMUNITY FOR THEM (I can't believe I have to say this).

So, what you guys think of the new changes? :D

Dusky.-

Sorry guys, the stream connection failed suddenly...along the internet.

Now it seems to work, but I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
I will try to make a proper stream during the week.

;_;

Dusky.-

First and foremost, happy Friend's day.
Hope you spend time with your buddies today :D

(I did some gifts for some of my buddies. You can see them here, since I thought "Oh well, I posted some of Tumblr. How about if I post them at FA as well, to share the love?")

Anyways...as a side note:
My Tumblr now allows anonymous questions. I want to test them out.
I want to see if I can block questions I don't want to answer and the such.

So, this is crazy, but ask me questions maybe?

http://badgerlicious.tumblr.com/ask

Anyways, take care everyone. :)

Dusky.-

I want to say something: Irony is amazing.
Since I stopped to post all my artwork here, I started for the first time in months to actually enjoy drawing.

I will be sincere: I was starting to hate drawing, and was actually thinking of quitting and just do more useful shit...like getting wasted, finishing school or something.
That's the main reason of why I took this small hiatus: to see if maybe I can get in love again with drawing.

And it seems I am starting to enjoy it.
Probably has to do with how uncomfortable I was feeling in here, with my stalker and my small disappointment of feeling that I don't seem to get better, even though I practice everyday.

I will probably get back on posting art at some point, maybe even make streams (I'm dying to make streams again!)...but for now, I'm starting to slowly enjoy drawing again.
Funny that I had to step back from my favorite art galleries to do so. :B

I started to stop drawing everyday, by the way...my right hand seems more than grateful for it. LOL

Take care everyone :)

*Smooth Jazz*

So Pizarnix pretty much will sell me her tablet, and I'm now using it.

Now *Stops smooth jazz* Back to my break :D

Dusky.-

I will be off for some weeks. Need time for myself and all that.
I got freaked out yesterday by something+the tablet and I think I reached my limit.

So, yeah, I will be taking some weeks off.

Dusky.-

EDIT:
You can find me on Skype. Dieselwing

And, noticed this:
Pageviews: 3937
Submissions: 297
And I have 318 watchers.

I feel awesome, and I also want to thank you guys.
Specially my Stalkerfag*, who is always watching! :D

*I use fag as "obsessed with", not as "you are gay and I use this term to hurt your gay feelings". Don't get jumpy.

Exactly. It does not work as it should.

With the same problems as the last one, and the last one...and the last one...!

I'm going to see if I can sell it and buy a Wacom.
I had enough.

Brb, taking a break of ANYTHING. I do have the mads right now.

Mad Dusky will not make lemonade.-

So last tuesday or something, Anthariel wanted me to help him out in the design of a friend's fursona.
This friend wanted a fox.

We didn't do anything that night, since this person was pretty much with the same animal and had no idea for the colors, or design, or anything. I just couldn't work with a blank canvas, so I asked him to look for more animals and ideas.

But I got interested on foxes.
First and foremost, I have an horrible relation with foxes. I consider them the "cardboard-cut" fursona of excellence aside the wolf, and there are pretty few foxes that I like in artwork and the such.
I just don't fully enjoy them.

It's not that I hate them though.
I do draw a fox if someone asks me to, for example. But in practices and the such, I just avoid them.

But I said last night, "Ok, let's see what is out there. Maybe I'm totally wrong with this and they are actually cool".

Researching, I found stuff like the mutations of the Red Fox (Vulpes Vulpes) regarding coats.

Which makes me wonder why no one pretty much use them as variations for the fur coat. I mean...you saw a marble fox?
And how about a shadow fox, or an Arctic fox during summer?

Seriously, it's amazing and they are actually interesting to see from your normal red fox markings.

(In case you're lost: Red Foxes are the ones with deep dark brown leggings and tip of ears. The kind of cool ones.
The ones you see without this markings are just like Red Foxes without that deep dark brown markings. Like a "clean" version.)

Later on I found out more foxes than just Vulpes Vulpes.
There are tons of foxes, and pretty much no one uses them!
I mean, aside from the Fennec, no one gives a flying fuck about Culpeo Foxes, or Bat-Eared Foxes, or Gray Foxes.

So, I have to say the following:
I still kind of dislike foxes as a fursona.

But after researching this little bit, I have to say I'm starting to like them more.
People should look more about foxes when designing their fursonas. And not just the Red Fox with the normal markings you see...try Marble Foxes, or Cross Foxes.
Or even look at other kind of foxes, like the Bat-Eared, or the Himalayan.

I, for my part, will probably add them to my practices now. Seems I was kind of wrong on disliking them.

Links for you to see if you got interested on all the fox variations and members of the "fox family":
Nice Color Chart of the mutations of the Red Fox, by

Nice chart of foxes of the world by , includes other animals that look like foxes but are not foxes to screw up your mind

Some nice taxidermy pics of the Red Fox mutations. DON'T GO THERE IF YOU GET TOUCHY WITH DEAD ANIMAL SKIN

Anyways, something random that I wanted to share with you guys. :P

Dusky.-

P.s: Totally unrelated, but Dholes are awesome too. /Jungle Book Fucktard

They SUPPOSEDLY found the motherfucking Higgs boson.
A good day for science. :P

I had been waiting for this since they build the LHC, and now THERE IT IS! :D
Probably next finding will be Portals. :P

Anyways, in another news, my new tablet SUPPOSEDLY will be at the service tomorrow. Probably they had luck and could get it before a month.

I hope they didn't lied...I'm missing mah tablet so much!

Dusky.-

p.S: This is a good excuse to get wasted. So yeah, watch out from drunk posting.

"So you take your mind out of the digital tablet already", she said.

So I decided, by suggestion (Kind of "CHILL OUT ALREADY" suggestion ) of , to try new materials while I wait for my tablet.
You know, to try to take my head out of it. I miss my tablet so much ;_;

So I bought two things that are right now in front of me:

One is a sepia pencil, for sketching. I'm kind of scared by it, but I'm sure it would become handy...at some point.

And...WATERCOLORS.
Trust me, if there is hell for me, it includes watercolors. I'm afraid of watercolors, since I'm afraid of using really fucking expensive material and fail at using it properly. (You don't want to know how much it costed a block of paper for this things!)

But...Ok, I will try.
I do have doubts, and maybe some of you can help me out by suggesting me tutorials of how to start, or something about them in general.
I know that they are kind like ink, but they are not really like ink... :S Halp?

Confused Dusky is Confused.-

Yeah, it's my birthday.

23 years old.
And I hope this birthday is far better than last year.

Dusky.-

More information here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3566152/

Ok, so now all slots taken and filled. I will try to start to work on them today.
I will do them in batches since they are 12, so yeah.

...And maybe some would be in india ink. Depends on the paper.

First batch
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Second batch
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.

Dusky.-

All the slots had been taken for this. If I end this two batches quickly enough, I will do another journal. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I say, there is a lack of gift from my part lately. So...Let's give some stuff!

I hate to make people fill "form" like posts for stuff, but this time I need it LOL.

Post the following:
A. How much do you like Mudkip?
B. Link to reference sheet or to images that I can use as reference.
C. Suggest any expression in particular you might want.
D. You can ask for a theme. Be it Steampunk (ohgodno), Gothic Lolita, or Cybergoth, or whatever. You can ask for a theme as long as it's not...some weird fetish.You have to keep your kinky in the drawer, mkay?
E. If you want something on your character like clothing or accessories, specify.

And I actually do have terms for this!

1. If your fursona has really specific colors and you get slightly mad if they are off, then this is not for you. Color pencils and india ink can't make a swap of colors or something because the blue I'm using it's not exactly your fursona's blue. I know the frustration (you don't know how hard it is to paint Elarin in traditional!), so yeah...know the feeling bro.

2. Avoid asking for your second/third/forth/so on characters. I want this time to draw people's fursonas and not their other characters. You know, sometimes you want to see a drawing of your fursona and get all warm and fuzzy inside.
If you don't want your fursona, then maybe ask the slot for a friend! I have no problem with that.

3. Take in mind that it does take time for traditional artwork to get done for me. I'm starting to get used to it again, so yep, it does take time.

So...how about it? Sounds good, interesting, frustrating?
