Heyyyy, it's been quiet here. I have devoted myself a lot more to commissions now that they're beginning to pick up traction. I have 3 updates to send out to clients, plus a new reference sheet for someone else, and possibly another. I want to get these first 3 done before moving on though, so that is where the bulk of my creative energy and time is going. Going to remind everyone my trello is public and updated frequently, you can check my movements here https://trello.com/b/yuqgGx0V/commi.....ueue-2024-2025

To be transparent, commissions usually take longer from me because I can be indecisive and a little perfectionist. I often fuss over things "being too plain" or boring and want anything I am paid to do to be as great as it can be. I think I am getting a lot better at this though, minus the often slow process. I feel like that is one thing preventing me from traffic/doing commissions more regularly but I honestly don't mind. This is enough responsibility already!

That said, I can't help but notice the amount of inquiries I got lately. They haven't been this high in a long time and honestly I am beyond grateful. Thank you for enjoying my work and entrusting me with your characters.

If you haven't been updated in a while, expect one tomorrow. Thank you💘

Feels a bit petty of me to make a whole ass journal about this. But I can't help but find it funny how bad some people are at reading tags. You could post NSFW of a transmasc character, clearly tagged as trans_male, state in the caption he is trans. And yet some troglodyte will find it and be like is cuntboy????? Is herm?????? Ohhhhh cuntboys make my peepee rise!!!!! Or worse just misgendered outright cus they see a pussy and immediately process ah. Woman. I feel like it'd be disingenuous as a trans guy to touch further on the other side of the spectrum, but I would be remiss to exclude trans women and their characters from this conversation. Considering how often my girlfriend's sonas are misgendered and taken as twinks or whatever. It is truly funny (in the saddest way) how hard it is for people to understand transgender people Still To This Day. We are nothing new and not going anywhere and a boy with a pussy or a girl with a dick seems pretty straightforward to me. They do not exist exclusively in the realm of fantasy either... Like your stacked genital characters.

Hi, I haven't been much more than vague about my financial and life situation but big changes are coming. Later this month I will be enrolling in my first year of community college, and I already got the 2k tuition billing info. But that isn't even why I made this journal, the real reason is I am out of money to pay for things like an icloud sub, my HRT, minoxidil (lol), and some unpaid fees towards my health providers. I wish it wasn't so hard for me to find work now, I have to admit, it is a struggle. I either don't have the right experience, enough of it, or employers see the gap in my employment and throw the application away immediately. I don't want to give up on job hunting but man have I slowed down after some demoralizing interviews and getting my info taken repeatedly without a word. If you have ever wanted to buy art from me I have it I can make anything and everything within reason. I am stuck in a precarious situation with finances and my lull in (independent) driving efforts, but I simply cannot buckle I have to keep up as best as I can. I did not mean for it to devolve into a rant/vent but man I have too much shit on the backburner blackened at the bottom of the pan. I ask the grand piano dangling above my head for some mercy and try to get up and do what I can for the day. I am gonna throw some links now for good measure. Thank you for looking. OTL

There are three commission options currently listed in my commissions tab on my profile as well.

Heyyyyy, so now that my queue is basically finished up. I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone my commissions are still open. I am open for basically anything, but right now I am especially advertising my sketches and flat color work. I will have some samples linked below to look through, but I am hoping I can find some way to make a cohesive visual for a shorthand. In the mean time:

Design commissions, detailed full-body sketches can be done for 75USD, or just for the sketch of an existing character, 60USD
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61001671/

Flat colors + line work, these are a little cheaper because they are done with thicker lines and focus less on little details. 50USD
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/60899046/

I can offer sketchy (stylized, less detailed) character drawings like this for 40USD!
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61100431/

And finally, sketchy busts! Which have undergone a slight price bump, now 30USD. These have the quickest turnaround.
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61354297/

Please note me if you are interested! I will be taking all payments upfront via PayPal invoice only. If necessary, I can offer an alternative payment option through Ko-fi.

I'm a little mad about it, I have to take more frequent breaks during art now and it frustrates me. I think I just need to improve my technique and the way I do certain things like colorwork. Sketching is way easier on my hand but I enjoy it less than coloring lately. I like giving dimension to things with tones and subtle hue shifts. Sucks. I want to complain.

Hey, I got some medical expenses to pay for and don't really have a solid job confirmation now. Other than some interviews both recent and scheduled, I likely won't be working until later this month and will wait even longer for a paycheck. In the meantime, seeing as my queue is very barren, I'm willing to take on some quicker turnaround commissions. Like my colored sketches, will link a recent submission sample below. But essentially I can do these for 25 bucks for busts, and 50 for a full-bodies (we can work something out depending on what the composition calls for. These are gonna be what's easiest for me to do right now and what can be delivered the quickest.

HI! A little while ago I said I would unlist my commission options here but I decided to overturn it. I feel like linking people commission price documents isn't enough of an incentive to click through them. So, I hoped to make it a little more convenient, although I recommend looking through the document as it has my TOS linked and the full menu. My FA commission options are limited to just 6 choices, I don't like decentralizing it so much! It's why I removed my services from VGen, that and I just wasn't picking up any traffic there. Even twitter became shakey with my approximately 1.7k followers (the most I have had anywhere ever), it seems FA is what I should be focusing on for clientele. For now, it's a matter of staying transparent and active, and making more art of course.

While I do have a patweon and subshart as options, I think something like this is more convenient for people who want to support but aren't looking to commit to a monthly fee. If you like my work and enjoy seeing it in your submissions consider supporting me^^ thank you for reading<3

I think it's long overdue for me to make a journal updating everyone including commissioners. I don't post a lot of art or even progress shots sometimes when I'm clamped down working on multiple projects. I think I'll change that habit, but rest assured clients are updated regularly in DM. I wanna take a moment to humbly thank those who have commissioned me and are still waiting on theirs patiently. I know some of you have been waiting for a while. I think after my queue is cleared, I will finally be closing commissions. At least publicly, if I know you or you got the balls to ask just give me a wink and a nudge and I'll see what I can do. For now though, I'm shifting my focus entirely from maintaining commissions as secondary income. I only feel obligated to fulfill my commissioners and provide them with their product they paid their hard earned coin for. But enough of that, what I also wanted to talk about is what I will be doing instead of commissions (full-time). I have plans to release sticker and button sets on probably Ko-fi or Etsy within the next month. I already have been doing test prints with art I've made last year but I will be making a lot of new art just for stickers. I have a button making machine now and the materials for home production of these. Everything will be handmade at home and never outsourced. I hope this doesn't come as too disappointing, commission sales have just never been good for me. Adoptables don't do as well either and I have been getting more interest in physical merchandise from over the years. I figure starting with stickers and buttons is the best option for me, but I also plan to release things like, prints, t-shirts/apparel, spiral bound note/sketchbooks, and more... I wanna be ambitious and commit to it but not get in over my head. I also hope that as I begin to transition away from adopts/commissions I can begin making and posting more original art. TY for reading.

I realized recently after making my prices document I didn't include add-ons like extra characters anywhere... That has been amended and it is up to date^^ Still chipping away at my queue and while I am always open, I am respectful of the current work on my plate customers are waiting on. I still am in need of cash -w-, just enough to get by this month. I pay for subscriptions including CSP for iPad, and the corresponding cloud storage for Apple. I just wanna put my ko-fi out there for any kind souls who wanna support me. I also have a ton of designs available to buy on my toyhouse profile, many for cheap and I am willing to haggle! Have at it. Thanks everyone for reading, I know money is tight this time of year for everybody. Monetary or not everyone's continued support really made my 2024 and I look forward to the art ventures this year.

A form for accepting experimental and artistic freedom commissions; an option different from the usual options with fixed prices for all character types. It will include a background of some nature worth the amount paid and comes in two options: monochrome or full color. You may include desired colors in the instructions or leave it up to me. You may also link/upload images and add some descriptive text. But of course, this isn't the standard commission option it is the one where you sign off on letting me do whatever the fuck. If that interests you.

I just unlisted and hid my commission services on VGen and Ko-Fi and reset all slots here to 0. This does not mean I am closing though, I just have some maintenance to do and now I realize it's necessary to raise my prices. My carrd will be overhauled from a small gallery site to just links and commission info, with links to TOS and price sample documents. I wanted to centralize this information as much as possible to save people the scavenger hunt. It's hard for me to keep track of all this myself, and it's also hard to bump up these prices. Sometimes almost double what I have done them for in the past. I know this will cut me out of a lot of people's budget and I apologize, your support whether monetary or not still means the world to me. Thank you for sticking with me, even in periods of slow posting. 💌

First time I have ever held a poll on my subshtar, open to all tiers regardless of benefits. This poll is going to determine which past design of mine will get an add-on to be put back on sale. My reason for doing this is because I don't like the way it looks to have a TH cluttered with unsold designs over the ages, admittedly. But I also don't want to bury any perfectly good designs that never got a chance. So, instead all of these old designs gathering dust will have the opportunity to be renewed with additional art/physical forms. In this case there are 3 unsold equine base adopts, all feral with minimal details. On free and premium art bases. For as little as one dollar you can view and vote in this poll to determine who I salvage for a second chance. And who I damn to the back burner for another eternity. This strategy also saves me precious time to devote more of it to immediate attention commissions and other projects. TYSM for reading and everyone's continued support, whether its interactive, following, or monetary. All of it is cherished and deeply humbles me; the amount of support I receive for making what I make.💘

Yuppp. AGAIN! Still no luck with the job hunting, so I am hoping to take a few more commissions. They're open indefinitely just mind the queue, I use color coded labels to mark progress and other stuff. Anyway in specific I am looking to take on NSFW prompts with a looser and more experimental approach. I am thinking it's priced the same as sketches, so 40 per one character and just a 10 dollar additional feed for multiple characters. I can also add color for 20+; so purchasing a sketch with color and character add-on would be 70USD. About the same price as the flat color + lines upgrade for single character drawings I offer. The discount is because they are 'off-menu' in terms of listed options and examples. They'll be a little rougher and less refined but not too crude! As for the NSFW prompts; I am very flexible and can work with most anything. I have little experience drawing some fetishes or no experience at all and am very interested in expanding my portfolio. Some prompts I would like to make more of include: latex/rubber, hyper, vore, preg, musk/stank, oral fixation, and possibly more. I am very kink friendly and open to anything even if it's not my interest. We can also have a dialog in notes or elsewhere about what will fly and what won't as a prompt. Thank you everyone for reading!

https://toyhou.se/oxalaia/character.....der:all?page=1 i will look at anything now art designs money items whatever i just want these guys gone 🫡

I DONT WANNA NOOOOOOO I DONT WANNNNNAAAAAA ITS TOOOOO HARDDD THEY ALWAYS LOOOOOOK UGGGLLYYY
but theyre so slow i feel like i would catch more attention and encourage responses if i had a cool shiny graphic with prices conveniently displayed😔

An important update, I don't live in the affected areas of the ongoing Helene hurricane/tropical storm distaster but my gf does. I don't know the timeline for recovery from this but it's a long road and I'm going to be using commission money for her donation almost exclusively now. Her cashapp tag is $roscoemeb; send an amount there or to my ko-fi and DM me with a screenshot and a drawing request. SFW and NSFW okay there's more info and examples on my profile.

Maybe an odd journal from me but I am stumped trying to come up with an artist to commission for a gift. I want to gift commission work of a pretty kinky scene or sequence to my girlfriend. I was wondering if anyone else had good artists to suggest off the top of their head? The description is a little vague but to specify 'kinky': mouthplay, ashtray, footstool, latex. I feel silly typing this out but IDK what I can expect from people if I refuse to describe what I am looking for. TY for reading^^

Heyyy, so I'm sure this is familiar but I'm in need of quick cash and I would like a break from anthro commissions for a bit after this current queue. So now I'm offering feral commissions for a big discount for colored full-bodies: 30USD for flat color and cleaned up lines, 45USD for rendering and polish. I can do pretty much any animal and am a little more confident in my animal anatomy skills than people:3 I also initially planned to open for mlp comms so I can do those too! Pretty much anything quadrapedal or otherwise in a horizontal posture. Taurs would be okay too since much of the effort goes into the bottom half. If you'd be interested note me or FRQ my discord, username: horft.

HI. First post since the site went down. So relieved it's back whew I missed looking at art on here. During that time I got a lot of work done on multiple different projects. Including some design concepting on equine bases made by Averfour & PacificDash. I have about 9 colored designs ready to post and 6 already on Toyhouse. However, I wasn't sure how I should begin to upload these here. I want people to know I have designs available (for a discount compared to non base designs) but don't know if I want to flood my submissions. I was considering just marking them all for scraps as well as adopts folder. Though I wanted to see if just posting a journal is fine enough. I did post these designs on my previously unused DA account just to have an accessible gallery for people to view. I am quite proud of these designs and feel very inspired to draw and design more equines. Including making my own original bases and greyscales maybe for personal use and eventually to release publicly. I see no problem just uploading any and all designs here individually in corresponding folders but also wonder if it's preferred to make one post about it. With links to the individual characters and their corresponding info. TY for reading this ramble if you did. My toyhouse is linked in my profile to see all my posted designs and this is my DA.

OKAY SO I DID MAKE A JOURNAL OF THIS BEFORE
but I deleted it cus it sucked. This one is good and has more info and links. My commissions are indefinitely open for any type of illustration, including NSFW/kink/gore. For a more comprehensive list of what I will draw and my terms of service, see my document or the condensed TOS version. My prices are also publicly available through my doc & the formalso posted to my profile info. For more information you can note me privately or (preferably) contact me via Email (eqquidata@gmail.com) or Discord (horft; please only add me for business related discussion). I like to deliver the product through Discord PMs, Google Drive link, or via Email. The PSD isn't normally delivered but can be upon request. If you think my style is right for your project idea feel free to reach out through either means. Thank you.
