Slowly but surely... still applies..
General | Posted 4 months agoYeah, I know. I've been.... distracted. It's going to be a long time before I get anything done, but I am working on stuff.
Slowly but surely
General | Posted 6 months agoI'm slowly but surely working on things. They're not particularly furry, but it's something. Don't know when I might actually post something here really, but I'm still here.
WIP Comic posts messed up
General | Posted 5 years agoNeedless to say, I am behind with posting stuff from my comics. I have been working on them, but not quite as much as I wanted. My posting schedule got messed up and getting time to work on things also became an issue, so here we are. I suppose it's better it happens early on anyway. I'll try to get back on track.
Making a comic and the problems you might run into
General | Posted 6 years agoIf you are anything like me, you are likely going to run into a few issues. I just wanted to get a few I deal with, so far, out there.
* Overwhelmed. Every once in a while the knowledge of what you need/want to have done becomes overwhelming. You may want to do everything at once and find yourself a bit at a loss with what to do first.
- Suggestion: Write what you want down, so you got it all there. Add on to it when and if you need to. You can number them, roll a dice and that could be a way of deciding. Or figure out what is more important. Or if you are actually feeling a bit more like doing this instead of that, then do this. Right now, my main focus is the characters. I want to get the important character designs out of the way, so I can look at them over and over and figure out if I am truly satisfied with them.
* Procrastinate. I think it requires a certain amount of will power to get myself to work on the comic. I mean, I want to work on it, but I feel that .... what should I call it... pull? to not do it. To do something else. Maybe it's that fear of failure? I am not really sure. I am pretty sure it happens to a lot of people though. So I/you are not alone.
- Suggestion: I can't really think of something as a suggestion except for just do it. Do something. Even if you just think about the comic for a few moments, or look at what you have so far. Is what you got how you want it? You could even use the time to do a bit of research.
That's all I got for now and probably more then needed on this post.
Thanks for reading.

How to start a comic - 100 days
General | Posted 6 years agoSomething I have been watching for some tips. Just thought I'd share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY0.....6zl2xsAAoNkfuR
Worth the Wait
General | Posted 6 years agoSo, something that has somewhat been on my brain sense starting to make a comic. I am talking about my Dragon Age 2 comic as much as the Born of the Elements one I am in the process of getting made. The thing on my brain was how often to post. I am heavy leaning towards once a month, especially for the actual comic. I could post something else, like the sketches I did for said comic or a random drawing.
Then it hit me. Once a month for the comic is just fine, it could be less, but once a month is the least I want. Why is that? It's about making it worth the wait. Something that I have heard about food and have realized for comics. I follow a comic that does not have a set schedule. I watch a youtube channel where I don't know when they are going to post. I do this because I enjoy the content. I enjoy it so much that it's worth the wait.
I don't know if my comic will be all that great, but what I do know is that I want to do all I can to see if I can make it as good as I can. Just thought I would share, for those that may feel they need to pump out a comic once a week or more and are stressing over it. I just wanted to try and ease that a bit.

Absence
General | Posted 8 years agoI know not many look at journals, I am one of them. I am starting to feel as though I have fallen out of the furry fandom. I am not sure why. I have no desire to draw furry creatures at the moment. Maybe because I have other things demanding that time... The though of deleting my FA account has crossed my mind... but I am not sure. Part of me thinks that I will draw something furry related eventually. Meanwhile, the people I watch are submitting and my art to look at is piling up. Maybe I will just clean out my watch list?
I still rather like the art and respect the artiest that draw furrys (or is it furries?). It's not easy, imo. Muzzles are a challenge, or at least for me. Anyway, thought I would put a journal up with some kind of update. I will still think about rather I am going to delete this account or not.
Take care.

I have kinda been thinking about checking Pinterest. I wasn't sure about it cause the site itself is kind of annoying with getting you to sign up for it in order to see things. If you don't it covers like half your screen with "please join us" or pretty much that. I decided to finally make an account with them and it seems pretty nice there. There is a good deal of reference that I have found. I am not sure if I will post things up there or not. I am still figuring out the website itself. I may just collect pretty pictures there, who knows? If you are already there or plan on joining it yourself I am under the name fenrir_lokison (big surprise) and this link should go to my page. https://www.pinterest.com/fenrir_lokison/
Furry game
General | Posted 11 years agoI was introduced to this game and thought it looked pretty cool and that the furry community would appreciate it. It is called "Dust: an Elysian Tail" and can be found on Steam, check out a preview here.

Signal boost a crisis
General | Posted 11 years agoSomeone I know is having a really hard time and just needs some commissions, please give her a look. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5894398/
Update/status
General | Posted 11 years agoHey guys! I know, its been forever! I have moved and I am currently trying to get my feet back on the ground. I think when I get my own place with my husband and some internet I will come back on here and start posting again. Not that I post that much in the first place >.>, but I will be more active here in any case. Thanks for all those who still watch me!

Free art raffle by Sigil
General | Posted 12 years agoI am supporting Weasyl right now, it is a good site and deserves some attention. So I will bring you some free art raffles happening over there. So go check this place out https://www.weasyl.com/journal/3390.....raffle-drawing and maybe win you some free art.
Weasyl account reminder. Whoa... what just happend?
General | Posted 12 years agoIs what I said when I saw an exodus of people leaving FA. I have read a few things and I get it now. I am not sure if I want to stay or not.... anyway, here is my weasyl account https://www.weasyl.com/~chri
I will think about what I am going to do and let you know when I decide. It wouldn't hurt to start things over again on that site and I like its format. I agree with the reasons that people want to leave and that makes me want to leave more. However, I don't completely know what's going on and that makes me uncertain about really leaving. Any case I will post a journal and a pic if I decide to go. If anyone knows the details, feel free to fill me in.

google + and a free website
General | Posted 12 years agoSo there does not seem to be a place to put my Google+ on here. I go by Chri Wallace. Google is a bit odd and it looks like they gave me two accounts for some reason. I am kind of new to google+ and don't know if this link will help or not, but here it is https://plus.google.com/11565940362.....45002883/posts .
My husband has found a place where you can set up a website and it is free. As far as I can see, there is no annoying advertisements that use to come with free websites. Not to mention you get $10.00 to spend on the website. Please use this link bit.ly/WeeblyInvite and this will give my husband $10.00 for referring you as well. I am working on my website now and will let you know when it is set up.
Ah yes, I am not use to using Google+ so I may forget about it and not be there very often. I will try to get into the habit of keeping up in the future.

Characters for adoption
General | Posted 12 years agoSomeone had said that I shouldn't just throw characters away, or something of the like. So I figured I would put up the possibility of someone adopting them. Talk to me if you are interested in adopting any of my characters. All but Fenrir and Chri are up for the possibility. If adopted I will draw a front and back of the character, if they don't already have one (I know I don't have many) and a pic of them. I may even keep drawing them and you will get free art from it. It is not guaranteed that I will keep drawing them, but it is a possibility. We can also come together on how the character is. I have some rough ideas on how the characters personalities are and all, but once they are yours, its up to you if you want them to continue being that way. I see people put characters up for adoption all the time and just figured, why not?
Drawing meme
General | Posted 12 years agoI think I have done this before, but it has been a while. I know I haven't drawn anything in a while. I am not completely sure why, really. Laziness? Distracted? Stress? No inspiration? Could be all of these things. I have been creating icons from time to time, for a contest website I found. I have been thinking of throwing up a drawing for all the art websites I have.. all 5ish. Twitter is not really what I call an art website. I guess FA and Weasyl will get two because they are the same type of website. I have been working on a comic as well, very slowly, but I am working on it.

New Deviant account
General | Posted 12 years agoI made a new one for graphic design. I am working on my portfolio and I want to post my works up. It also gives me a chance to tag some works of mine that another website isn't letting me. So I will be using DA to copyright my submissions before I submit them to the other website. Here is the link if you are interested http://chriwallace.deviantart.com/ It doesn't have anything right now, but I'm working on it.

Meh, just something
General | Posted 12 years agoI find it kind of interesting how my mind can be sometimes. I know I'm not the only one like this, because there is no one person that is the most different from another. That is what I believe anyway, but that is another topic entirely. What I'm talking about is my likes and dislikes and just how they can change, in such drastic ways. For example, porn. Right now it's my best example. I really liked porn for a while there, let's say for a few or so years. I have rather recently mostly given it up. I say mostly, because I still read a comic on Oglaf.com in which has a various assortment of porn and nakedness. Honestly I am debating on not reading it anymore. I still do atm because I find it entertaining. I am thinking of stopping because the sight of porn bothers me now. I get a little frustrated when seeing it (not in the hot and bothered way, more in the I'm tired of seeing this crap kind of way). I'm not sure why really. I have had to stop watching a person on tumblr because of it though. They just started posting too much porn and not tagging it so it just pops up unfiltered by my safe at work filter. I rather liked their tumblr and I may send them a note to perhaps tag the porn so I can watch them again. I'm not really sure what the point of this was... but I just wanted to through it out there. It's more or less an observation that I just wanted to put into words. I am starting to feel tired of people objectifying others as well. Just about everywhere you look now a days there is something to do with sex. I guess it's to be expected that companies prey upon peoples basic instincts, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Anyway, so there it is. If you read it, I appreciate it. Feel free to leave a comment of any kind. Have something like this, I'd like to hear.
