Pardon my lack of updates or consistent uploads. Been posting more about it to twitter or discord groups. Been dealing with some constant exhaustion issues of passing out at desk or just doing things around the house/home. That aside some respiratory issues had me on some rather agonizing medication for a week so I've been a bit slow catching up on commissioners, contractual work, animation work and the like. If you have any questions just Note or Comment. I'm all ears and love to keep up with friends and commissioners. I'm doing well/better and will make a greater effort to be more consistent and keep up with demand.

With September passing and my birthday passing, now 24 I feel old. With being old comes work and working hard at that work. If you see my commissions owed this month coming by a bit slow, I can't disclose too much but I have some contract work to do that's slightly prioritized. Having to put together 30(roughly) different images and animation frames for a video for my current employer that is due by the end of the month. That said commissions will still be done but alongside the deadlined work.

I thought I would give some context or explanation to my current lack of uploads if not the slow-down in them. Once this is passed and over things will resume more smoothly moreso with Halloween coming and my love of it. Expect lots of Halloween art and commission opportunities soon.

For those following you probably notice I have had a bit of a change in the content I draw and the consistency I submit stuff. I've been trying to be a bit more diverse with my works, art and concepts trying to expand outside of furry art and do more varied things. Not stopping furry/anthro stuff but it not being a major concern outside commissioned or patron requested things. Other characters, designs, styles being myself trying to experiment and be more diverse with the art I make, characters, styles and whatnot. I'm also trying to keep a daily or every couple days upload with drawings/art and pixel art stuff even. Although that will be a bit harder now that I've been hired on to an animation project I can't post much on. It is non-disclosure until finished but I'm currently working on as one of the two major artists in an animated cartoon project done in pixel art for Hellbent and will be devoting most if not all of my time to that outside Patreon Requests and occasional commissions. That said I will still be doing personal art and try my best to maintain this several-times-a-week consistency. But if you notice a slow-down in my work it is likely because I'm going to be shifting my main focus onto this animation project. That said I've also been using Twitter and Discord morefor social media, leaving behind my old Tumblr blog, not interested really in bringing it back or doing much more with it. The projects I had for it on hold but still on my to-do list such as Pants Quest. Right now my main goal is achieving some financial stability and a level of comfort in what I do so I'm not running myself into the ground taking on small commissions in bulk to make end's meet.

If you'd like to inquire about my Discord, note me. My twitter should be linked on my profile and my Patreon is https://www.patreon.com/fudo for those looking to show their support for my art. There's no real paywall for anything though my patrons of $5+ are allowed requests if they have any once in a while as well as access to my private discord server and a special Patron Role.

For the love of god, please do not pay me or commission me or refund me if you DO NOT have VERIFIED PAYPAL ACCOUNT. I've had someone I'm not going to publicly name commission me in a stream about a month ago. Mid-stream they became impatient because there were others ahead of them and they demanded their money back. I complied and sent their money back. Not wanting any issue or drama.

A week or so ago it was returned to my paypal because their account was UNABLE to receive funds. They were limited I guess and have an unverified account. They popped up in a recent stream requesting their money back AGAIN. And if you haven't guessed it yet. It came right back to me. I have no way to find the commissioner here, or if they were from Twitter or somewhere else. They just popped up in stream and I have no idea how to go about compensating them if they won't settle for art and didn't bother to verify their account.

So PLEASE. Make sure your paypal is verified and fully setup before commissioning or refunding others.

Good news. My glasses are in but I won't be able to pick them up until around Tuesday or Wednesday due to weekend and Memorial Day so once I get those I can resuming any owed commission work, commissions streams and PWYW Streams. Thank you for those who have been waiting on me patiently. <3

In short lately my glasses kind of broke and i'm waiting on the replacements from my eye exam. It's gonna be about 4-6 weeks and I'm stuck with some "reading glasses" I picked up for a couple bucks that make reading possible with a bit of effort but drawing may take a while. So for those wondering where I am, I'm here still but drawing's not gonna be happening for a little while til I can see...

I know I made a submission a while back mentioning it but thought that a journal would be a good notification for those that missed it and want to show their support.

I've set up a Patreon with some pretty simple info about it. Generally if you wanna request/suggest something drawn, just be a $5+ tier patron. Anything under's more or less solely showing your support and making life easier for me.

I don't need a Patreon moreso it's there as an optional thing. A means of supporting me and my artistic endeavors and making it so I can put out more original work instead of constantly churning out commissions to make ends meet.

Check it out down here. Or don't. It's your life, buddy. <3
Much appreciation for those who already support me and my art and anyone who pledges in advance.
There's also an exclusive private discord server I run I allow Patrons/Pledgers access to if you're interested in joining. Don't gotta be a Patron for that but it's an instant option if you are one. Just comment or Note me for access to it.

That's what I have lined out for this month so far. Pardon the delays over the last few days. As expected and as much as I try to hide from posting I'm not usually in the best of health and can't maintain the best consistency with streaming and deadlines so as I always offer. If you would rather a refund on your commission I am more than fine with refunding ya.

I thought i'd let you guy know that I've finally gotten a competent laptop replacement and will be streaming a lot more over the next couple days. I didn't get to tonight or get much work done with having to transfer files and setup everything on the new one today. Expect more streams and faster commission turnarounds with the following week.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding. <3

Commissions Queue this week is currently bought out and full with a whopping 7 Commissions I'll be working on throughout the week.

In no particular order:)
1:) MistressTigress
2:) Charlie The Horse
3:) Jet_Asakura
4:) Dexypaws (Complete)
5:) Sebu/Samantha (Complete)
6:) Zack Fang (Complete)

Some bigger than others meaning this may exceed this week to do with larger-scale commissions done over a day or so. Such as multi-character pieces with fully drawn out backgrounds and in-depth shading.

Outside the obvious commissions queue I thought I'd clarify what's taken me on the last week with work. I've been horribly sick with some sort of stomach bug which has made my life pretty hellish the last few days. Likely from being caught in freezing rain we've been getting caught in over the last few days. I apologize greatly. I've been getting sick so often lately with Winter and my crappy immune system. Hopefully things will get better. <3

A lot of my week has been involving freezing rain, running errands and getting caught in downpours away from home. I'll be streaming and doing commissions later in the week when I'm a bit less sick and busied with things going on in my personal life outside art. If you have any questions regarding commissions feel free to note me.

A gofundme was made with the help of a close trusted friend of mine, Sad Bear to help fund towards a replacement laptop to anyone interested. It's not a dire need since the one I have isn't completely out of commission just yet and I'm working non-stop to fund towards this too. I'll be sending money I earn to go towards this fund myself.
You're welcome to support towards it or just share it. It's much appreciated as the current laptop I have now doesn't have much time and is a bit beyond repair as old as the model and parts are that cannot be replaced.

I'm currently doing daily (if possible with my schedule) Pay What You Want streams to cover the cost of this as well and raised nearly $60 so far I'm sending towards it once I've assured my bills and monthly medical needs are take care of.

So with 2017 starting off well on my end I've recently been faced with some rough news. My laptop's CPU, despite replacing and repairing the fan that was dead is more or less dying on me. Randomly spiking my CPU to 100% when doing little to nothing. Having little PC knowledge from what I've seen that's more or less a warning it's on it's last legs with the fan having already gone on me. My current laptop being a refurbished Lenovo R500 Thinkpad I've had a few years I got on NewEgg so despite it being good quality it's debatable how used or gently-used it was beforehand being an older laptop.

That said I'm open to commissions and later on might be setting up a GoFundMe type thing as a friend suggested to raise enough to get a competent replacement to a $70 Laptop I've spend more than $70 on repairing and upgrading that just isn't cutting it anymore.

The current goal price I've worked out for the replacement I've found being roughly $270 with about $40 towards it already.

If you'd like to commission me and fund towards it comment or inbox or just feel free to hop onto any PWYW / Commission Streams to offer commission. Or if you'd like to just donate towards the replacement my paypal is www.paypal.me/fudo

if anyone else would like to share this post or shout it out they're welcome to but it isn't required. I'm hoping to get this replaced before my current laptop dies out leaving me no real way to work towards it.

First off I'd like to wish everyone a belated but happy new year. With that said I'd like to thank everyone who's stuck around the last few years I've been here. Lord knows I've been on and off here with work, life and just generally feeling like I didn't fit in here. With that said I feel like not drawing a lot of anthro/furry stuff as much lately despite not doing what most would want here, has really helped me improve on some thing with art.

But also with that said, I'd like to ask... Should I do more anthro/furry stuff? Any characters of mine you would like me to bring back and use more? Any sort of characters/species you would like me to try and tackle? I feel like I haven't been listening or asking as much with these kinds of things. What would you, the nearly 700 followers I have here want to see from me?

Should I do more with certain characters? Multiple? Maybe a comic or collab project with anyone here even? It's been forever since I've done any collaboration work with other artists and I really enjoy doing them.

Let me know in comments or notes. I want to know. <3

With the New Year's around the corner I might be a bit slow with commission work but still steadily working away. I thought I'd make a post update marking this month's commission quota and update it as we go along.

Pardon I hadn't posted hardly at all this week or spoken all that much over social medias/instant messengers. I didn't wanna go whining about more poor health or issues but I had slipped in some ice recently and did a fair good amount of damage to my shoulder and was more or less off most of this week on painkillers. So if you didn't see much from me or wonder why i'm taking so long with commissions, I goof'd and had to spend a whole night over in the ER and a week on Tylenol 3 Codeine Painkillers.

Now that all of that is out of the way and i'm PRAYING no more poor health or harm comes my way til next year at least. I will be wrapping up any owed commissions and whatnot and taking off the rest of December for the fact I've just had a rough time and want to relax without the fear of "Ogod I owe so much art. I shouldn't be resting." echoing in my head.

Completely unrelated, this week to anyone who plays Vanilla WoW or wants to, Nostalrius is coming back on the Elysium Private Server and i'm going to be spending some time on that to anyone who wants to join me or play with me. :D

My commissions for now are currently closed. I'm rather booked with the few I have to do and thought I'd mention I'm not accepting any more at the moment or at least until after I get more of these done.

Main reason being, normally I'd take on as many as I can, one-shot many of them in streams regularly and have work generally done at a fast and reliable pace. Unfortunately I have gotten a bit of a chest cold over the last few days slowing me down and making a lot of things just insufferable or take much longer whether breathing being strained to feeling tired and dizzy from cold medicine to treat it. So pardon if my commission updates and responses are slow. Your Christmas themed commissions will be done before Christmas. If your commissions was NOT Christmas themed it MAY STILL BE DONE before Christmas if I can work through this faster and make a quick recovery.

I just like keeping my watchers and commissioners here up-to-date on things and my health so they know i'm not just dragging on about for no reason. I tend to have a good deal of health hiccups and apologize that it staggers my productivity a bit. I wish you all well and hope you all remember to stay warm and in good health this holiday season. Thank you so much for you time and consideration in commissioning me.

Fan's going to be a bit late around the 8th or so, expect commissions streaming to be a bit held off til then. I did a stress test for about an hour and it was able to stream but overheated a bit. I thought I'd do a small update regarding those in advance rather than later.

As for recent submissions some are recent and a few older ones I did over the last few weeks and posted to my twitter. If you'd like to follow it at fudo_monsuta if you'd like.

Also I will be taking any small commissions for Holiday themed pieces like Avatars and Icons for anyone looking for a quick chrostmas picture. Mainly since I have bills coming up this and don't mind small work on the side.

ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL NOTE: I've gotten Overwatch on Xbox One. If any friends want to add me that have one and play with me just comment or note me. :D

Due to some complications I won't be able to do much or upload any work for the next 3 days. Come at least around the 6th or so I'll be back in working order. Thought I'd mention sooner but forgot to. I apologize to the commissioners waiting on me.

I've been noticing a total lack of feedback for the most part on my work lately aside fan art that appeals to fandoms here. I am getting the feeling me less-than-furry stuff isn't quite appreciated or wanted here. I think I might just keep to posting it other places here outside commission work til I feel like drawing more furry stuff. It's just kinda getting me down and making me realize a large number of watchers means very little to how many actually give feedback or notice when you post things that aren't porn. Sure i'm probably on a tangent but meh. I've been feeling really disconnected from the community here and wondering if it's time to pack up yet and move on to somewhere else.

Open for five commission slots for this month from anyone interested. After that will be closed til December and all those little Christmas Arts I'll be pumping out. If you're interested drop a comment.

I've been in and out of the hospital and ER a lot lately with health issues constantly making life and being consistent here or anywhere a battle. I am trying to be more active other places since well, this place offers little outlet for that but I don't mind it.

I've mostly been doing commission work outside this site and posting on twitter more as well as using Discord more over Skype considered I really dislike how Skype works and constantly updates/eats up my RAM, freezing so frequently. So if you're wondering where I am most of the time, there are two places right there. If you would like links to them I can privately share that. I would normally post it more openly but with the blocking system here being a bit of a joke that would just open up new doors for people to harass me.

Aside the depressing bits I have some actual good news. I can now stream via Picarto over join.me after many attempts and much struggle I can now stream my art on a more professional and efficient platform. So if you would like to follow that my picarto is picarto.tv/fudodraws for those wanting to follow and keep watch of me.

Another art related update as you may all have seen, I've been somewhat although only lightly been straying away a bit more from Furry / Anthro artwork because lately I've been finding it harder and harder to feel comfortable in the furry community as well as finding it hard to find a comfortable means of relating to it or with my characters. Always constantly questioning, "Am I enjoying this like everyone else? Or am I forcing myself to so that I have a sense of belonging and community?" I'm not shitcanning any of that I just have been on and off about it and trying to get more in touch with what makes me feel comfortable and adapting my art style into one that is all my own instead off following into the foorsteps of a fandom and pandering to it for a sense of belonging that is not sincere or true. I had that with the My Little Pony community as well but do not hate it for that. I'm just growing and changing as a person and need to find out what's right for me.

Also I would like to note out and mention whilst it's totally not shilled or enforced you can see and the ending of my journal post a link to a ko-fi tipjar. Truth be told with my life and health as it is a lot of my commission earnings that don't get put on bills and the typical cost of living is going on medication, transportation to and from there and more or less that nature of thing. If you'd like to show your support you're welcome to via that link although it's certainly not demanded or required. I just thought I would not that for anyone wondering what it is. "Ko-Fi" is basically a virtual tipjar linked to my paypal where you can "buy me a coffee" aka make donations in multiples of $3. It's more or less to show support for those that want it or just to tip them for their services and to show appreciation. A few other artists I follow and speak with use it and I've donated to them in the past.

With all of this rambling aside I would like to thank everyone who's put up with my tangent for this long and wish you all the best. I apologize for the lack of content and will try to post more as soon as I'm able to.

I don't know how to go about addressing it calmly or briefly but as of late I've had someone here I've had blocked, (And I mean not only on Fur Affinity but generally all other social media.) and they managed to get into one of the streams I posted here and realized the blocking system means nothing and that really makes me anxious. I don't know if I'll be streaming publicly for a while after realizing how little security or privacy I have to negative or toxic people I've tried to filter from following me or my work over social medias.

I probably won't be posting streaming submissions publicly and will have to find a means to resolve how I work out doing commissions here if I even bother to publicly anymore.

I held a small one about an hour or so ago as a warmup and will be doing another today in a couple hours. If you want to reserve a slot or make it in time just keep an eye out for the submission with the link to the join.me stream.
