Looking for Artists To Work With
Posted 2 years agoHey there! Too many ideas keep swimming around in my head so I need to get them off my chest.
If you have followed me you might know some of my struggles.
I have a humanoid demoness character and some of my furry characters I would like to get work done for.
I am looking for artists willing to do some kink commissions.
The Kinks include:
Dominance
Vore
Facesitting
Breast Expansion
Macro/Size Difference
Just General NSFW

I Just Don't Understand
Posted 2 years agoI'll start you off here with this being a bit of a rant and venting of a lot of my frustrations over the last two years of commissioning art.
Since I have started commissioning art I have learned a lot of things. I try to be empathetic, communicative and responsive to anyone I decide I wish to draw a character of mine and give to them money to receive their service.
I am unsure whether or not I should really share who I am talking about but a couple examples are at least listed on the front of my FA page.
So let's get into it. Time and time again over the last two years I have commissioned art and I have been left wondering for months, sometimes even a year whether or not I will ever receive the art that I spent money for. Sometimes I got months and months without receiving an update despite reaching out... Sometimes I attempt to refund the purchase only to be shut down due to Boosty's donation policy. I have tried to mitigate this by working with artists that I see update their page regularly and so on. My first experience of this was with an artist known as
Felicesta where it took I think close to a year to finally get a response after posting shouts on their page. Now it is happening again but there are several going on simultaneously and I am just lost.
It makes me hate that I want to commission my ideas for my characters, and basically take a gamble on a new artist. I have a couple artists that I trust and love their work but I do want to branch out sometimes, I love the work that I see and I love different styles. I get scared and anxious. In fact I tell new artists this because I hope that they might have some type of empathy for me but recently I have found out that it doesn't matter.
At my absolute best that I can do I try not to commission through Boosty because of course, you cannot refund a donation. I work within my budget based on my income to purchase commissions. I typically and always only work with artists that take payment up front as an expectation.
I don't know anymore and I don't understand the lack of responsibility some of these artists have. I am a full time student, I work full time and I do photography on the side as a hobby and meet deadlines with clients that I work with. I set expectations that can be met and I don't sell myself as someone who can do the impossible.
Every one of these artists always seem so excited and happy to work with me, they love my character and blah blah blah. But when they do get my money... It suddenly becomes sometimes impossible to talk to them, as if I am being ignored until it is convenient to address me... They don't share works in progress, or do share a work in progress and then go silent. I mean I have dealt with all of this or that excitement or friendliness quickly seems to go away. Then I feel like I am bothering them. I begin to think "So what? I gave them my money." but I try to think about mental health issues, stress, world events all types of stuff. But when it becomes a month, three months, or a year. No work in progress, no more responses, or whatever have it... There needs to be a point where a line is drawn. For some reason I even continue to be friendly... Yet I feel like they don't deserve any type of respect anymore. I want to ask for my money back... But they don't have to give it to me and I don't want to lose the opportunity of never getting anything out of it. I mean seriously it fucking sucks and I don't know the solution.
Do I only promise pay if I receive the service from now on?
Do I only work with the couple artists that have delivered on their promises and expectations they set?
Do I have to spend more money to work with more reliable artists that have built a reputation?
I don't know anymore.
If you do, let me know. I'm tired of being burned, anxious and scared by finding new artists to work with.
Thanks.

Another Anniversary!
Posted 2 years agoIt seems that I only make serious posts once a year.
This time I am a little late. I just wanted to make a Journal celebrating yet another year of being on FurAffinity and commissioning art that has brought me joy.
I want to address the sale of my characters. I have felt for some time, better or worse I have excessively commissioned new OCs just to forget about them. I was designing OCs with one-off traits that never really allowed me the ability to develop their character.
With that being said! I have a really special character that I have started to work on after getting some inspiration. I really look forward to showing everyone her concept and story. It has been the first time since I made my original feline OC that I have wanted to write a backstory and biography for a character.
Anyway, thank you everyone for supporting me and giving me dopamine with all your favorites, comments and watches!
Until next time!

Looking For Artists That Are Open For Ref Sheets~
Posted 2 years agoHey there!
I don't make journals too often. But I thought I might do this just because I have been very busy lately and I have a terrible time looking through tons of artists that to see if their commissions are open.
If you are an artist or know of one that has commissions open and are available to do a ref sheet please shoot me a note!
Keep in mind the characters that I have when sending me a message, you will probably get something from me that will be comparable.
Also,
Love you guys, thank you for everything!

Birthday month!
Posted 3 years agoSo!
I never thought I would do one of these but it has been almost a year since I have started getting art commissioned.
A year ago while I was playing Tekken I came up with an idea to make an OC. Then I remembered a whole part of my mid teen years that I totally blocked out, which was my casual enjoyment of furry art!
I am turning 26 on the 12th of June. YAY! Honestly, getting all this art has provided a lot of wonderful experiences for me! I love to have an idea and finally see it realized by the creativity and wonderful minds of the people I work with! I never thought I would have gone this far with it but here I am!
Anyway, for what is to come should be probably A LOT of vore stuff. I am trying to collaborate with people and their characters. In the middle you will see some more stuff from
Elking working on different versions and ideas I have of Scottie! (Also hopefully I get some more of that fox art going!)
Thank you all so much. Seeing people like the art that I get done means so much to me!
