Kitty Update: The Return of "Crash Course"
General | Posted 10 years agoFor those that have no idea what Crash Course is, it's a phase I want to use whenever I want to start drawing. I almost got everything set up for Pictaro and SAI since it's the only program that responds to tablet without slowdown. But I guess I'll have to wait until friday or mid month to get the program officially.
T R A I L B O Y S
The only thing I need to do is get my MASSIVE playlist together. For right now it will be a mixture of BGMs with a few actual songs and techno. Once everything is set I will get my stream going hopefully at 4-5 PM Central Time.
Offer still stands for anyone that would like to help me out. For now, I have come ideas for a few background images for your typical fighting game. Nothing too complex, but some of you might have an idea for the first two places.

Kitty Question/Advice: Tablets for n00bs!
General | Posted 10 years agoThe question for today is:
"What would be a good tablet to start off with?"
I know I've had a light experience with the Wacom Bamboo small tablet. But it seems that I've lost it between one of my moves. That or the table was broken by not plugging in, or having a bad pen with no replacements.
EVO is almost done and I want to make a few concept ideas in the upcoming week or so. Out of which one of the following do you thin I should get.
The old Wacom Bamboo - The same one I used years ago to make these / gems. It's small but travel worthy and somewhat professional
Link: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-CTL460-.....dp/B002OOWC3I/
The updated Wacom Bamboo - The drawing size is a lot bigger than the old one. But it IS cheaper. Which brings about a little caution.
Link: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-.....dp/B00EN27TCI/
The same recent one but with Touch added - ....I don't see the point to add "Touch" as of yet...mmmm
Link: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-.....dp/B00EN27U9U/
The UGee drawing tablet - This one is a lot bigger than the other two/three. It's the same price at the updated Bamboo tablet.
Link: http://www.amazon.com/Ugee-Graphics.....dp/B00J235KE2/
Kitty will make the purchase near the end of the afternoon. So please let me know what you would suggest.

Kitty Ponders: Thoughts After Coping (Positive)
General | Posted 10 years agohttps://inkbunny.net/submissionview.php?id=876304&page=2
The link above is a voice journal that I've posted regarding my last journal "A Furry Legend..."
____________________________________________________________________
After giving the past event some thought. I'm planning on getting something really cool during the summer. The only issue I have is getting the proper permission from outside the fandom. If it all goes well, maybe you'll see it on a different public art site, maybe in a stream once and a while. But for now, at least the gears are slowly starting to turn. =~_^=

A Furry Legend....
General | Posted 10 years agoAs a freshman teenager in the mid nineties trying to avoid bullies and fake friends in North Chicago, an odd classmate was showing me some random rule 34 pictures he printed out away from prying eyes. Later on, I've decided to skip lunch period and sneak into the empty computer labs to find out where they all came from.
It was during that time that I've stumbled upon VCL ( http://us.vclart.net/vcl/Artists ) and there were thousands upon thousands of artists there. Here I thought they were just major folders at the time and among my days of stealth searching, I came across four artists that had surprisingly shocked me. Not only to have a small yet growing interest to the art style later know as "furry," but gain an understanding of whatever strange liking that I've accepted so early in my life.
The very first legendary artist I ran across is Jay Naylor. Currently
Fisk
- His art style may seem sharp at first, but when it came to his character Fisk, there was no other badass feline than him. It was because of Jay, Fisk Black and his web comic Better Days that Frostcat came to be.
The second and third legendary artists goes to
guppy and EK-Goya currently known as 
elkit
- The both of them introduced my into the weird realm of the art style and later on as a majority that became real. From m/m f/f herms and even watersports, they have done it all. Now if only egg laying carnivorous plant traps exists. =~_^=
The final furry legendary artist has officially taken everything that I knew as a child and literally destroyed all barriers of imagination. Sadly, he is now, the late Doug Wigner -
justdoug
- His artwork has the most bizarre styles I have ever seen. The two well known staples of his style are herms and hyper. The moment he applied those two to Minerva Mink, my mind was outright shattered from what I've saw. And quite frankly, I became happy about it. His art series of Mall, Pup and Pandora became crazier from one picture to the next. As a hidden naughty secret, nothing pitched the tent more than the sketch of a torture shocked male fox being rammed (by his arms?) sitting on a hyper male horse.
Out of the four artists, Doug was the one I went back to the most to see what other crazy characters and ideas he would come up with next. He was indeed one of the greatest artists among many that has brought me closer to the fandom. You will surely be missed. It may now be nothing to the fandom that we have today, but from the bottom of this cool feline's heart...
Thank you for all that you have done.

Kitty's Lost in Thought - New Job, New Approach
General | Posted 10 years agoThings are slowly starting to become a tad difficult in the past week and for the weeks, or maybe months, to come. So far the only thing that's good out of all of this is that I got out of the resort and retail business and scored a factory position.
Now as much as I like to make sure that the customers/guests are happy with their stay and appreciating my random happy-go-lucky attitude, there were only so many things that I can withstand for a matter of time. Telling guests where the exit is, guests giving odd or stern looks while helping them off the attractions like I'm eyeing them or something. The same thing goes while trying to take care of their little ones too. Worst yet, the thousand mile stare while on go karts because they weren't fast enough. Mix those in with a few co-workers not caring about others or doing childish to ridiculous actions to the guests and you have a perfect blend of something that's about to go off. Good thing I have a stronger tolerance and escaping before the summer starts do avert that possibility.
Now I'm a factory working kitty in a plastic making warehouse. Basically I check for quality and making sure the product piece is ready to go. But I'm in the laboring aspect in that department. It's pretty challenging, but I'm the type of person that wants to get things done efficiently. Although the pay is really good, I'm still trying to get into the graveyard shifts. I'm more of a night cat then anything, so it's best to actually do something than just play games overnight. Besides, it's a great benefit for the weekends. Especially when it comes to raves at cons. =~_^=
_____________________________________________________________
But every new thing must have some issues to work out. Lately it's not only getting use to the sleep scheduling but it's also the lack of actual gaming and relaxing at home. Granted, the new co-workers are just like myself. Random and silly at times, but know that we got to get the job done. And that's what I like. However, now I'm barely getting any response or communication with the people I normally game with. Currently, video games that involves any multiplayer aspects are requiring you to actually have friends to achieve what you want or even get good at the game. I remember playing Halo 2, 3 and Reach by myself and managing to get a good average score. If I get a certain amount of points through the match, I'm good. Now a days I can easily get double, triple or even team assaulted while my other randoms go off somewhere. And when I get a good pack/clan that invites me in, it will only be a good month or two before they don't play anymore.
The same can be said about MMOs too. You pair yourself with other players to conquer your guest and defeat the game with positive vibes and comradery all around. But once you beat the game and attempt to get better gear, that comradery is instantly shattered from the randoms you play with because you have to go through that same quest over and over again. And those that played it before expect you to be good instantly. Otherwise they just leave the party.
Not only that, but even outside of gaming I barely get any chances chill out or assistance in going to furmeets anymore. I know fending for myself to get a car and license back is one thing. But sadly I'm going to end up being "That Guy." Who is "That Guy?" Exactly that question. The one that randomly invites you to join their party so they can get get better equipment. The one that suddenly IMs you and admires who you are like some kind of stalker and constantly wants to RP or getting art with them without knowing who they are. "That Guy"
I normally have others IM me at times. Only problem is, I'm not very good at starting conversations. It's just normally:
Hey
Yo./Mew/-nyo *noses*
What's up? / How's it going?
Going good. / Hanging in there. / Nothing much
-> You?
Same here/ Pretty good
Cool
.........................and that's it.
For me, it's tough being more active with so many things wondering through my mind on what to do. Maybe if I stop pondering so much I might actually get started in making something.
Uber long story short, I'm starting a new chapter going on an "Out of Left Field" path with only one problem.

Kitty Update: Thankies
General | Posted 10 years agoJust a quick update on what's going on recently. Looks like I got my little extra components for my computer, and it's working beautifully. I know that there's a lot of art that's been posted up of my anthro and ponysona so I'll be posting them up by tomorrow. If I'm lucky, I might be able to do a voice journal post That day too.

Kitty Update: Adjustments & Scheduling
General | Posted 10 years agoWhat's up everyone? Sorry this cat hasn't been updating recently. I'm still trying to figure out a good daily schedule for me. In other words, shifting between work, relaxing, gaming, streaming, sleeping etc. So far, I've been doing okay in getting thing started. Hell, I'm even going back to Second Life now and again.
Having said that, I am also trying to get back into multitasking. The only problem is shuffling through the windows. So I'm doing my best to get another monitor. That way I can game and browse about at the same time. Sometimes if you want to find your drive, you have to drive yourself.
Speaking of driving myself, I've been noticing the pounds slowly growing on me. Not that I don't want to be a chubby house cat. But I got to have a decent body for the final months of this year. Just got to knock out the handles and moobs. I'm not losing my butt though. No point in lifting my tail if there's nothing to present. Right?
On another note, I'm also trying to change to a different line of work. Sure resort work is cool, but there a so many daily corrections to guests that you can take after a while. Same ol' broken record. That kind of deal. If successful I can simply concentrate on flat out work and not have to worry about the next day. Meaning, more concentration on creating music and art. Unless someone that's loaded can take me in......But that might be asking too much. MAYBE. =~_^=
*posting more stuffs soon*

Kitty Updates: The Move, The IMVU and The Wait
General | Posted 10 years agoHOLY SHIT I'M STILL ALIV-*ahem*
What's up everyone? It's been some time now and I hope that you guys are reading this. Everything is slowly becoming in order over the past couple of months. After the move Blaze and I decided that we should start shopping for a few items here and there. As we start to settle in and organize our travel situations with out co-workers, we wanted to make sure that our new place looks livable. So I'm happy to announce that we're almost done. I'll probably post an update video on facebook if anything. I'm sure Morin will get a kick out of it.
Recently I've been informed about the IMVU thing-a-ma-jig that wants to be a part of FA if not take....it....over?! I don't know what the whole situation is about. All I know from the vague Q&A is that FA will be going through changes for the better as IMVU supports the originality and creativity within us as individuals. My take upon this is simple. As long as you don't limit the artists any further on what they draw or create, then everything is kosher. There was a certain limitation that happened years ago that I don't want to bring up again and it would suck if that were to continue with the supposed change. At least to them. >:3
Hopefully all will be good in due time. Speaking of time, it looks like I won't be attending any furry conventions for a long time except one. If all goes accordingly there is going to be some changes once MWFF comes around. I can't wait. By then I will already have my license and the same with my mate as well. Once summer starts is when the two of us can go back to the way things were.
*I honestly think it's starting to be that way now*

Kitty Updating Rant: The More Things Change...
General | Posted 11 years agoWhat's up everyone?
I know I'm not on as much as I use to be. Recently I've been given the past few months a lot of thought about the overall situation of me simply living. Simply put, I seriously want to be happy where I am and not have anything or anyone ruin said days/moments. Unfortunately there's been a lot of that going on through the majority of the year and quite frankly, I'm getting worn out from it.
I can't go a day without someone worrying half to death about rent, yet have the full on ability to take care of it should one of us fall short that month. Then again, the worry-wart rants about said roommate falling short and shouldn't have to pay more than he should. Another instance is to being watched over sort of speak or being distracted while I try to focus on my own without interruptions. Now, more recently, I can't even trust the landlord simply because of her 180 degree tone because someone forgot to put a "toy" away and refuse to continue inspection. Plus adding the "fire hazard" motif knowing full well that there are four people living in a one bedroom plus loft.
You would not believe the constant BS I had to go throughout the years. Roommates complaining over cleaning their area, kindly fixing their car for them, accidentally drinking someone's juice. Inviting friends over even though they were notified. Or worse yet, being invited to a new place to find a new job only to have other roommates complain about your company there.
Currently, I've been chosen by a cool furry friend of mine from the east coast in belief that I would make an awesome roommate. As it is now, I'm totally gun-ho about the idea. Starting out in a new area fresh with everything that I worked for taken with me. That would be an ultimate change of pace. It's simply puts me out of the constant worrying loop that I have to deal with daily. I'll be completely focused on myself. Plus, I know that I'll be a good kitty to everyone and vise versa.
Now sure, I can try to ask out to see if anyone could take me in around the mid-west area so I can look for a different job. But there in lies the few questions due to my past experiences throughout the 10 years in the fandom. These same questions can apply to the west coast too.
The first question is, "Who would even take me in?" The majority of furs will have no idea who I am or what I'm capable of. Maybe there's something about me that can simply makes them cringe at the thought or even talking about said subjects. And for the second question. Even if I somehow fail and can't come up with a good job within that first month. Even though I search and proved that I've turned in applications and only ended up no calls or an interview or two, but no dice. "Whose to say that the same person that took me in, if not their roommates, wanted me to get out ASAP." Getting back to the moment where I moved to the Dells and successfully landed the job. Staying at my friend's apartment a little while longer would have been better to properly save up, getting my license back, getting a car, anything. But since the other roommates think that we're taking advantage of him, *I* had to get an apartment quickly before things would get out of hand.
It's things like that which makes me question about other people's trust. Still, the fellow fur that invited me I KNOW is a good guy. Let's just say that he's another "random black man" with the same attitude as me. =^_^=
West coast may have their epic locations and events furry and Fighting Game Community related. But everything is ASS EXPENSIVE! So I must get a job I-mediately or else I'm be considered a moocher. The mid-west will always be my home. But recently, I have an odd sense that almost everyone and everything is picky choosy as far as roomies and landing a job is concerned. As for the east coast, let's just say that I'll be in the middle of all of the events. Give me the days off and start my drive at one,two o'clock in the morning and I'll be there between 10AM to Noon.
Those tips aside, I seriously hope that this plan pulls through. I said that being in the Dells would be a new start, and it has. I have all the systems needed, a new computer, returning to fur meets and conventions, getting awesome props and actually having great moments. But on the everyday spectrum, it's just not fun anymore when everyone else is so distant and not caring much about responsibilities as much as I do.
*Positive vibes will be on the way.*

"Whose to say that the same person that took me in, if not their roommates, wanted me to get out ASAP." Getting back to the moment where I moved to the Dells and successfully landed the job. Staying at my friend's apartment a little while longer would have been better to properly save up, getting my license back, getting a car, anything. But since the other roommates think that we're taking advantage of him, *I* had to get an apartment quickly before things would get out of hand.
It's things like that which makes me question about other people's trust. Still, the fellow fur that invited me I KNOW is a good guy. Let's just say that he's another "random black man" with the same attitude as me. =^_^=
West coast may have their epic locations and events furry and Fighting Game Community related. But everything is ASS EXPENSIVE! So I must get a job I-mediately or else I'm be considered a moocher. The mid-west will always be my home. But recently, I have an odd sense that almost everyone and everything is picky choosy as far as roomies and landing a job is concerned. As for the east coast, let's just say that I'll be in the middle of all of the events. Give me the days off and start my drive at one,two o'clock in the morning and I'll be there between 10AM to Noon.
Those tips aside, I seriously hope that this plan pulls through. I said that being in the Dells would be a new start, and it has. I have all the systems needed, a new computer, returning to fur meets and conventions, getting awesome props and actually having great moments. But on the everyday spectrum, it's just not fun anymore when everyone else is so distant and not caring much about responsibilities as much as I do.
*Positive vibes will be on the way.*

Kitty Holiday Update: The Gap, Goals, Doppelgangers & Future
General | Posted 11 years agoHello to all my fellow furs old and new. It has been quite some time since I've been around these parts, but it seems that a lot of things has been happening over the years. For starters, I'm currently employed for nearly three years now in The Dells. In that time span I was slowly but surely getting all of the odds and ends out of the way first. Apartment, furniture, TV, Video Games, etc. Hopefully it all makes sense then getting something that you have to spend a butt load of money per month off the bat while getting back on my feet. As it stands, I got a new computer, X-box One, Wii U, and a few games here and there. Everything else is just fending off the RL stuff like everyone else. However I should apologize by not keeping up with everyone here via Messengers. But it's kinda tough to get into the right mindset to chat after attending to the public at a high demand. Which is one of the reasons why I'm considering to reschedule my shift. That way I can focus on keeping things up to date properly. With all of the crazy things that has happened this past month alone, I'm just happy that the year is about to end and on a good note as well.
What's the plan for next year? First thing, should everything come to play, I'm slowly chipping away at something that I haven't done in a long time. Yarnball? Music? or something else... Let's hope I can get that goal out the way before AC. If not, then at least MFF. There are also a LOT of crossover ideas running through my head ever since Freedom Planet is out and about. I'm still surprised that there isn't a major lot of fan art if the game yet. I think the cast rocks. Once I start saving up again, I'll be looking around for the right artists to bring some new and old crossovers to life.
What's black and white with a hint of blue? A lot of furs apparently. =^_^;= If you notice, I got a new look to my anthro character. Unfortunately I'm not the only one with the same fur pattern and/or blue hair tips. That being said, just keep an eye out for my new necklace and traditional blue flame attire. Now, getting same nice art with said similar furs would be awesome, but I'm not willing to jump the gun. Not until I'm back in the zone here first.
There's going to be a LOT of things going on for me in the next few months. For one, this kitty needs to pounce back on DDR and workout. Two, there are some new styles and series that I'm into that can't be seen here. If you want to check them out, hop over to my Inkbunny page. I'll add more details on my section hopefully later tonight. In the meantime, I am planning on a few cons. If lucky, I'll be prowling around fursquared (F2). The one con that I'm seriously plan on going is FWA. I'm totally rocking the Shinnagami garb and maybe a little something extra too with the Furgotten Orient theme. The only thing I need is a way down there without spending $400-600 for a round trip flight XP. Besides MFF...or MWFF I might hitch a ride to AC this year too.
Sorry about the long journal and not commenting on the pics that I fave now. It's going to take a bit to get back into the swing of things here. Happy Holidays to you everybody, furry and pony alike!

Time to Venture
General | Posted 11 years agoEverything is going okay thus far. As far as I can see, it looks like Cubs and Sonic art is still accepted so long as they are clean from what I can tell. So I might be able to load up those forms here later down the road. The next thing that I'm going to do now is look around and see if I can watch a few artists and friends I haven't chatted with in ages.

Offering a Truce
General | Posted 11 years agoI know within a matter of hours if not minutes, I am instantly going to be on the chopping block. But before anyone decides to judge, label, taunt or poke fun, I am willing to offer a truce to the admins and members of FA.
Judging by my time on another site, it has been four and a half years since my exile from this site and not once had I made any attempt to weasel my way back to FurAffinity until now legitimately (Frost-T-Cat). The fact of the matter is, there are upcoming and really awesome artists that will only dedicate themselves to this site. Simply because other sites allow certain aspects that the majority of the members here do not like. That being said, only my main Anthro version, along with my Blinx the Time sweeper style character and fursuit will be shown on this page. Anything that has happened in the past will not be mentioned here.
Do keep in mind, I am only trying to find the proper time to ask for my return here. If accepted, I will agree not only to the TOS, but my terms stated above. If not, I can accept my loss and continue elsewhere. I hope that we can come to a sensible agreement.
