Update about story situation
Posted 9 years agoOk so just to let you guys know, and any looking forward to any stories I write, about the situation I've had for the past few months and the reason for the lack of uploads for stories.
So the quick version is my hard drive died. One day it worked, the next it did not and could not be fixed. I gave it to a tech friend to try and sort out and over two months later he has thrown in the towel and said it is straight up borked. This is a problem as I DID have stories stored on there that I was working on, including the next part of the Fortune series. They were the only copies and I have now lost those for good, without forking over some SERIOUS dough to pay for data retrieval (Over £100) they are gone. It is a shame that this happened but these things can happen.
However I'd like to see the positive side of this as it's like a...retry. The stories I had at the time were not really up to snuff, of course they were drafts so that was to be expected. But now I can rewrite the stories and try going a different route that might work better. Fix anything I missed the first time through. It'll be good :D.
So yea that's the situation. I gotta re-write the stories up to where they were before. Hopefully Ill actually be able to finish them and get them uploaded sometime this year xD. I should be getting a new drive on my birthday in August, which'll be great, and that will help set up other stuff as well.
lets try and get this done! Kick it!

FA is back but...
Posted 9 years agoWell i am very glad FA is back and a lot of the art and stuff is ok MANY of the new submissions uploaded are no longer on the site, due to the last back up being 6 days ago...which is an unusually long time ago for a site such as FA. Usually sites such as FA have daily backups so, in case something like the recent problem occur, there isn't too much missing.
But now that the site is back up people are missing arts, favs and even comments on the new pictures from fans of the piece. The users will now have to reupload the art piece, and for some it could be ok as they only uploaded 1 or two. But for people that uploaded a lot in the last few days will now have to go through the process of uploading them all again, a few of my Favourite artists have to do this now. Then there are also most likely going to be people that have uploaded art but then DELETED it from their computer as it was for someone else. It might not be commonplace but it can happen.
Regardless I'm happy the site is back and we can get back a sense of normalcy back once more. Hopefully this won't happen again anytime soon.

Character reference update!
Posted 9 years agoSo I've been looking around for artists to do a reference sheet for most of the day now (as of writing it is 12:17am) and have come across quite a few awesome artists out there that fit the bill for the design/style I'm looking for. However they are all either busy or on a break. T_T
I have contacted a few and am waiting for one more to check if they are able to do it, you may see a few new watches in my list those are the ones I've been looking at.
But since I've been on the prowl I've been thinking over the reference sheets over in my head and realised how expensive it will be to get all the forms of Guts done as reference sheets. Most pricing I have seen for sheets reach the $100 dollar mark and higher, and while that may be ok for one or two references my character has a LOT of forms. Simply counting in my head it goes up to 8 forms for the moment...so that would be 8 ref sheets! Meaning $800 (£545)! Even though I really like the art on here that is... well this gif should show my surprise and realisation: http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/hlysht.gif
Needless to say I should think this through again. So I think the two human forms I have to get will be done as a single image for each rather than a ref sheet, That will be both cheaper cost wise and make much more sense from this sites point of view, being a furry orientated site :P (Not that there isn't humans on her they just aren't the main focus XD). Next I will only get a reference sheet, for now, of the werewolf form of the two human forms. Later down the line I will then go for the Anthro dragon forms for both again and then the hybrid forms later on too. I will also try and get a full dragon (I think they're called ferals when they are full dragons/animal?) and full wolf Ref sheet down too.
So to give the short version here's the plan for now:
1. Single image for two Human forms
2. Character Ref. sheet for Werewolf forms for both
3. Character Ref. sheet for Anthro-Dragon Forms for Both
4. Character Ref. Sheet for Hybrid forms for both
5. Character Ref. sheet OR Single image for Full dragon and wolf form for both
The humans forms are the first step as all the other forms will be based on those, of course :P. So I need to start looking again this time, with a clearer goal in mind now. Alright lets get it down! I feel so charged right now!! ARRRRGGHH! Lets get guts a body!!!
Update 13/01/2016 - I have two ref sheets coming in for the Human forms of Guts :D I managed to find someone who has really low prices for ref sheets so I decided to take two :P More info will be made available once they are finished.

New year, new Goals!
Posted 9 years agoHappy New year guys!
2015 was pretty lackluster with ANY updates or anything, it did start to pick up once I could start buying commissions towards the end though. So what's next? Well here is the plan if a few steps that i want to achieve going forward in 2016:
1. Keep writing. I will continue to write Aston's story and more for this site. I was stuck in a rut for so long I kept coming up with ideas but not have time/energy/motivation to put them down to paper. Now that I'm out of it, thanks to some art from Clue that got my creative juices flowing, I will start writing things again. I'm gonna finish up a few things I had on hold and once they are done time to start making some new ones baby. Aw yeah!!
2. Get some more commissions ordered. I've found that if I get commissions done for character in some of my stories or my fursona "canon" my creative mind gets ticking and gets motivated to keep/start getting to it. Now that my commission virginity is broken I can do more in the future :D Of course this will rely on my money situation which is fine for the moment, having no income at the moment so I'm trying to keep most of my spending to a minimum. But so far I have enough left for some more, so expect to see a few in the future.
3. Get my fursona ref sheet done. This is more of a personal thing than for other people. After being on this site for a few years I always wanted to have my own Personal ref sheet, one of me/my character. It will help with future commissions and my own head canon, as I have a lot of story going on for my character. I have seen a few people actually use their OC's for stories they make and actually make them like scenes that happen in shows or movies, doing writes ups for the situations they are in. I want to do that, and in order for it to happen I need my ref sheet. I will probably have to get quite a few done as Gattsu/Guts has a LOT of forms and variations, there is quite a lot to him rather than him just being a hybrid :P But that's all hush hush until I get there ;) For now I will probably need his Human and Wolf anthro ref sheet so I'll be looking around for artists that can do ref sheets and I can work with to create the "right" one :P So if anyone has suggestions or know of really good artists let me know and I'll given them a look see.
4. Attempt to draw again. Again this is more a personal goal. I've always enjoyed what people can create with just a few pencils or a tablet. I get a little jealous at the quality and love they have for creating art and have always wanted to reach their stage. However, even though I can be pretty damn persistent in some things, I get EASILY frustrated with drawing anything and end up binning most stuff i try to draw. I need to get past that. I haven't drawn anything for about two years now so I probably lost what I had managed to achieve last time I drew, which wasn't a lot but it was something at least. You can check my scraps if you want to check those. I might start of slow, watch some how to draw videos, practice simple things like circles and maybe start doing swords again. A friend once told me while I was in college that my sword designs were good, I didn't believe her. She isn't a bad artist herself so i thought she was just being nice but...maybe she was right? It's worth pursuing to make sure nothing is there or not. But i am going to try again,now I'm a little older and hopefully wiser I can temper myself and take it step by step and maybe be able to repay some people with art when I get gud :P.
So there you have it,my goals for this year on here. Right now I am motivated to get this done but I have to remember not to burn myself out all at once. I have to take it slow and let the creativity flow gently and not come gushing out like normal :P I will have to try and use computer programs for the drawing stuff, i have the free Artweaver tool which I think is pretty good so i'll give that a shot, I might even get a tablet and try that as well. I did some stuff with tablets before in college but i was crap at it, but what is it they say? You have to earn talent? Or something like that :P Anway thanks for anyone that read these journal things and i hope these goals will be achieved this year.
Cya guys in the next one. Lets make 2016 a year to remember!!

Guess who's back? (Warning long post and vent)
Posted 9 years agoHello watchers and fellow FA's users. Gattsu here.
So it's been a while! Sorry about that the year got very...busy. I did put it in my new upload but I thought it best to put it into this journal so i can give a better context of what's been going on. To those who don't really care for a life story be warned this is one :P So you can stop here if you don't want to read it.
So first up what's been keeping me busy. Well it was mostly to do with finding work, yep that old excuse. see what happened was this. I was looking for work for a LONG time back in 2014, possibly going on 6 months on job seekers allowan. For those that don't live in the UK it's basically money given to people out of work to support themselves on on the condition they look for work. no searching, no money. so anyway after 6 months on no answers to applications or emails sent to open jobs I decided to go on a course from a sort of charity called "The prince's Trust" that basically helps people get into work. The kind of thing they were offering at the time was working for the retail sector, and having now experience working in it I decided to give it a shot and apply. I had about a few weeks training before I got let out on the floor to do a real job for once. I worked as one of the people that work in the back, doing all the heavy lifting, dealing with deliveries and such and sorting out new stock. It was ok job, not something I really wanted to do but it was something to get some money and i didn't hate it. But then came the issues.
See everyone was promised a permanent position at the shop once training was done and if you did well during training, and after it was done quite a few of us were given the option to enter in full employment. We accepted expecting it to be a full employment only to be told a month or two later that most of us were actually only staying until the christmas holidays. It was a big blow for me as I was actually starting to get used to the job and the people only to be told that they were only keeping me until the week before christmas. While it was shift work, paid the near basic minimum wage and could be very demanding it was work and it gave me something to do. But in the end I had to leave and hand in my stuff in January 2015. It was very awkward as the shop even had a new manager who I never even met before then and it felt like she just wanted to take my things and leave without a proper farewell...So yeah needless to say it wasn't a good experience.
Then a month or two down the line I was contacted by a company that wanted to take me on. They had found my CV online and said that what they saw fit what they were looking for, so not soon after I applied for another job. This time it was a company that WANTED me to join. I was really surprised and a little bit excited at the prospect, as it was a bit into the area i wanted to go into. It was call centre work, and being naturally shy around new people at first it was daunting. Like extremely so. But I wanted to see what it would be like so I forced myself to go through with it. I was told that they would gladly take me on and I would undergo 2-3 months worth of training, the most I would have ever done for a job. There were quite few people there and I got along quickly with all of them, one of the women I sort of had a thing for but never really had the guts to say anything about it. Might in the future but for right now "Coward".
Anyway we did the training, there was a LOT to go through as it was about how to answer calls, how not to answer, the things we can and cannot say. How to follow protocol, how not to break data protection (which i already now as i went through it so many damn times during college) and how to dress appropriately...in a call centre...where no one sees you...yea still can't figure that one out. So after that training I felt I knew a decent amount to get into the job and we started taking our first few calls, obviously the first few we nerve wracking and riddled with mistakes, but we got into it soon enough. And then when we were done we were given our on computers and given the job to do.
Now I can't go into extreme detail about what we did due to confidentiality and data protection and all that but i can give the basic gist of it. But basically I worked for a company that dealt with pensions. We were a call centre that TOOK calls and not MAKE calls. People called us for help and information about pensions, legal advice etc. Now I don't really like pensions but i understand them, so I tried my best at the job. At first it was fine, all of the other employees were nice and friendly and my team was the weird group, which I fit into like a glove :P Although my training group was spread about the place and not in my team i still tried to keep up with them during breaks or pauses between calls. It was all good...but that didn't last that long. Soon I started getting bad calls, people that blamed the company, or even ME, for problems they were having with the pension scheme or with the online component. Now i can handle bad calls, i know what its like to get frustrated over a situation and end up lashing out at people, but some of these calls man. I had one guy that literally refused to listen to anything I would say or say i was wrong and to put him through to a more experienced operator, which was fine but then he had a go at them for the same reasons.
I had another who refused to pay for postage of information we needed and wanted a refund, I had a woman almost crying over the phone cause she couldn't figure out how to work a computer etc etc you get the idea. They weren't all bad but when it ends up feeling like I didn't achieve what they wanted or I let someone down in some way it really gets to me, like I should've done better or if I said something different the conversation could've gone better. And that kept building up over the months, i didn't really want to bring it up with my team leader as I felt I would be bothering her over something that might not have been a big deal. which in hindsight was possibly a terrible idea. So while that is happening my old training team is dropping like flies, some left as they had to go back education, others left for personal reasons. One of the guys I really had a lot in common with got let go because he was too "Forceful" in his talks on the phone. He used to work in a sales department for a big company before so he was used to selling things rather then give help but from what I heard from him he sounded alright on the phones. But it was literally like he came in one day, sat at his desk when his team leader comes over and tells him he's being let go and that's it he's gone. This guy had much more experience than me and i felt like he was doing a much better job than me and yet he got let go! It was then i realised how tough the palce was on people that didn't meet a certain standard. That also added to the strain.
After a while it ended up with only 3 of us left from the original training group. It felt tense and it felt awful. I was happy that I was still there and actually earning more than my mum was, which I was really glad about as i felt like i was contributing something. But things started nagging at me: "Why were so many people calling in with issues?", "Why is the government forcing people to have pensions?", "Why can't this system be better?", "Why can't we refund money?", "Why can't we give as much aid as we can rather than deal with calls quickly?"...it just got very overwhelming I kept getting frustrated by, what I saw, as mismanagement from the company side and from the government side by not telling people about us! The scheme or even the changes in law. It just felt so aggravating that I couldn't help these people as much as I wanted to without being told that my handling times were too long. I started rebelling against it unconsciously, deliberately giving more aid than I should. Offering advice when told not to, asking for information that we couldn't use to confirm someone's identity.
Sometimes it would work, I would help someone out and it would go through fine, other times I would get caught and told that I can't take this piece as an identifier or ask this question. It just got more and more restrictive to me. It felt like I was drowning and each time I tried to get to the surface I would sink faster. Somedays i could handle other days I felt like shouting down the phone at the caller. I never felt that way before and it was awful. I hated feeling such anger and helplessness at the situation. I kept asking for help and advice, hoping that it would give me some sort of insight into what I was doing wrong but each time it was just something else to think about, something else I shouldn't say. It got to the point where i literally didn't care anymore. I just gave up. I asked whatever I thought was usable and went with it. I just wanted to get to work, help people, and go home....and I felt awful for it. And each step i was like "I should do better! I should be better! These people chose me! I need to live up to their expectations! I won't let them down!". But it just made it even worse.
It got to the point where one day I made a lot of mistakes...too many. I asked for evidence that couldn't be used, I took information that can't identify people for accounts, I gave out information about an account to the owner without down one final check. I was already in trouble for missing it a few times but that day i just hit all the wrong notes. I didn't care...deep inside i knew I didn't care anymore.
And when I got taken off the phones for another mistake i knew then that I had to go. I wasn't doing myself or the people that gave me a chance justice. I spoke to my team leader and after at least an hour of debate, discussion and thinking I decided it best to leave. I was sad, I got to know my fellow teammates, called some of them friends...call them friends. I was actually tearing up when I had to tell them I was going...but i knew it was right. For the first time in 4ish months I felt a weight lift off me. I was still sad to see that potential job prospect be rejected, and hey maybe if I did stick around and do the remedial training offered I might've finally got it...But I still don't think i would've cared about it. I hated what it was making me feel and i hated what i felt it was turning me into so i had to go.
And now here i am telling all you who will read this...a bit sappy but there you go. Funny note i was told after leaving that one of the other female coworkers actually fancied me, which was a first. Didn't think I was attractive at all but then I'm not other people. I was flattered but she never said anything after it was revealed so maybe she found someone else I dunno.
I guess i just needed to put it all out there to explain where i've been. So yeah sorry for the hiatus and this big ass long journal entry but I though i should give you guys a full explanation. so there you go.
...Now i'm nervous about posting this XP But lets do it anyway. Happy christmas everyone and have a good last few days of 2015.
So it's been a while! Sorry about that the year got very...busy. I did put it in my new upload but I thought it best to put it into this journal so i can give a better context of what's been going on. To those who don't really care for a life story be warned this is one :P So you can stop here if you don't want to read it.
So first up what's been keeping me busy. Well it was mostly to do with finding work, yep that old excuse. see what happened was this. I was looking for work for a LONG time back in 2014, possibly going on 6 months on job seekers allowan. For those that don't live in the UK it's basically money given to people out of work to support themselves on on the condition they look for work. no searching, no money. so anyway after 6 months on no answers to applications or emails sent to open jobs I decided to go on a course from a sort of charity called "The prince's Trust" that basically helps people get into work. The kind of thing they were offering at the time was working for the retail sector, and having now experience working in it I decided to give it a shot and apply. I had about a few weeks training before I got let out on the floor to do a real job for once. I worked as one of the people that work in the back, doing all the heavy lifting, dealing with deliveries and such and sorting out new stock. It was ok job, not something I really wanted to do but it was something to get some money and i didn't hate it. But then came the issues.
See everyone was promised a permanent position at the shop once training was done and if you did well during training, and after it was done quite a few of us were given the option to enter in full employment. We accepted expecting it to be a full employment only to be told a month or two later that most of us were actually only staying until the christmas holidays. It was a big blow for me as I was actually starting to get used to the job and the people only to be told that they were only keeping me until the week before christmas. While it was shift work, paid the near basic minimum wage and could be very demanding it was work and it gave me something to do. But in the end I had to leave and hand in my stuff in January 2015. It was very awkward as the shop even had a new manager who I never even met before then and it felt like she just wanted to take my things and leave without a proper farewell...So yeah needless to say it wasn't a good experience.
Then a month or two down the line I was contacted by a company that wanted to take me on. They had found my CV online and said that what they saw fit what they were looking for, so not soon after I applied for another job. This time it was a company that WANTED me to join. I was really surprised and a little bit excited at the prospect, as it was a bit into the area i wanted to go into. It was call centre work, and being naturally shy around new people at first it was daunting. Like extremely so. But I wanted to see what it would be like so I forced myself to go through with it. I was told that they would gladly take me on and I would undergo 2-3 months worth of training, the most I would have ever done for a job. There were quite few people there and I got along quickly with all of them, one of the women I sort of had a thing for but never really had the guts to say anything about it. Might in the future but for right now "Coward".
Anyway we did the training, there was a LOT to go through as it was about how to answer calls, how not to answer, the things we can and cannot say. How to follow protocol, how not to break data protection (which i already now as i went through it so many damn times during college) and how to dress appropriately...in a call centre...where no one sees you...yea still can't figure that one out. So after that training I felt I knew a decent amount to get into the job and we started taking our first few calls, obviously the first few we nerve wracking and riddled with mistakes, but we got into it soon enough. And then when we were done we were given our on computers and given the job to do.
Now I can't go into extreme detail about what we did due to confidentiality and data protection and all that but i can give the basic gist of it. But basically I worked for a company that dealt with pensions. We were a call centre that TOOK calls and not MAKE calls. People called us for help and information about pensions, legal advice etc. Now I don't really like pensions but i understand them, so I tried my best at the job. At first it was fine, all of the other employees were nice and friendly and my team was the weird group, which I fit into like a glove :P Although my training group was spread about the place and not in my team i still tried to keep up with them during breaks or pauses between calls. It was all good...but that didn't last that long. Soon I started getting bad calls, people that blamed the company, or even ME, for problems they were having with the pension scheme or with the online component. Now i can handle bad calls, i know what its like to get frustrated over a situation and end up lashing out at people, but some of these calls man. I had one guy that literally refused to listen to anything I would say or say i was wrong and to put him through to a more experienced operator, which was fine but then he had a go at them for the same reasons.
I had another who refused to pay for postage of information we needed and wanted a refund, I had a woman almost crying over the phone cause she couldn't figure out how to work a computer etc etc you get the idea. They weren't all bad but when it ends up feeling like I didn't achieve what they wanted or I let someone down in some way it really gets to me, like I should've done better or if I said something different the conversation could've gone better. And that kept building up over the months, i didn't really want to bring it up with my team leader as I felt I would be bothering her over something that might not have been a big deal. which in hindsight was possibly a terrible idea. So while that is happening my old training team is dropping like flies, some left as they had to go back education, others left for personal reasons. One of the guys I really had a lot in common with got let go because he was too "Forceful" in his talks on the phone. He used to work in a sales department for a big company before so he was used to selling things rather then give help but from what I heard from him he sounded alright on the phones. But it was literally like he came in one day, sat at his desk when his team leader comes over and tells him he's being let go and that's it he's gone. This guy had much more experience than me and i felt like he was doing a much better job than me and yet he got let go! It was then i realised how tough the palce was on people that didn't meet a certain standard. That also added to the strain.
After a while it ended up with only 3 of us left from the original training group. It felt tense and it felt awful. I was happy that I was still there and actually earning more than my mum was, which I was really glad about as i felt like i was contributing something. But things started nagging at me: "Why were so many people calling in with issues?", "Why is the government forcing people to have pensions?", "Why can't this system be better?", "Why can't we refund money?", "Why can't we give as much aid as we can rather than deal with calls quickly?"...it just got very overwhelming I kept getting frustrated by, what I saw, as mismanagement from the company side and from the government side by not telling people about us! The scheme or even the changes in law. It just felt so aggravating that I couldn't help these people as much as I wanted to without being told that my handling times were too long. I started rebelling against it unconsciously, deliberately giving more aid than I should. Offering advice when told not to, asking for information that we couldn't use to confirm someone's identity.
Sometimes it would work, I would help someone out and it would go through fine, other times I would get caught and told that I can't take this piece as an identifier or ask this question. It just got more and more restrictive to me. It felt like I was drowning and each time I tried to get to the surface I would sink faster. Somedays i could handle other days I felt like shouting down the phone at the caller. I never felt that way before and it was awful. I hated feeling such anger and helplessness at the situation. I kept asking for help and advice, hoping that it would give me some sort of insight into what I was doing wrong but each time it was just something else to think about, something else I shouldn't say. It got to the point where i literally didn't care anymore. I just gave up. I asked whatever I thought was usable and went with it. I just wanted to get to work, help people, and go home....and I felt awful for it. And each step i was like "I should do better! I should be better! These people chose me! I need to live up to their expectations! I won't let them down!". But it just made it even worse.
It got to the point where one day I made a lot of mistakes...too many. I asked for evidence that couldn't be used, I took information that can't identify people for accounts, I gave out information about an account to the owner without down one final check. I was already in trouble for missing it a few times but that day i just hit all the wrong notes. I didn't care...deep inside i knew I didn't care anymore.
And when I got taken off the phones for another mistake i knew then that I had to go. I wasn't doing myself or the people that gave me a chance justice. I spoke to my team leader and after at least an hour of debate, discussion and thinking I decided it best to leave. I was sad, I got to know my fellow teammates, called some of them friends...call them friends. I was actually tearing up when I had to tell them I was going...but i knew it was right. For the first time in 4ish months I felt a weight lift off me. I was still sad to see that potential job prospect be rejected, and hey maybe if I did stick around and do the remedial training offered I might've finally got it...But I still don't think i would've cared about it. I hated what it was making me feel and i hated what i felt it was turning me into so i had to go.
And now here i am telling all you who will read this...a bit sappy but there you go. Funny note i was told after leaving that one of the other female coworkers actually fancied me, which was a first. Didn't think I was attractive at all but then I'm not other people. I was flattered but she never said anything after it was revealed so maybe she found someone else I dunno.
I guess i just needed to put it all out there to explain where i've been. So yeah sorry for the hiatus and this big ass long journal entry but I though i should give you guys a full explanation. so there you go.
...Now i'm nervous about posting this XP But lets do it anyway. Happy christmas everyone and have a good last few days of 2015.

Update about drawing.
Posted 12 years agoHow people think I learn, and actually used once -> http://omu.kuiki.net/eye02.shtml
How I think it feels to learn drawing -> http://gifsoup.com/view/165574/joke.....il-trick-o.gif
What I actually do (The guy in the picture isn't me, I'm not even there I just googled this)-> http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012.....97_634x544.jpg
Yeah if the pictures aren't enough to go by I haven't been practising. The only thing I have been doing with drawing is either play draw wars with a friend at college or doodle during class....yeah so no progress. Sorry to disappoint.But I will persevere! I WILL learn how to draw if its the last thing I do!!

what I'm gonna do.
Posted 13 years agoOk after so asking around on the forums apparently the best way to go about learning to draw is to just keep practicing, simple really. I guess I just wanted to find out if there were other ways but its seems that the old saying of "Practice makes perfect" rings true in this circumstance. So I will practice as much as I can and see if I can improve my drawing ability by a smidgen.
Thanks alot for the guys on the forums that responded and gave their thoughts on how bes tto procede, it was helpful :D

Update and info about about the future and a plea :P
Posted 13 years agoHey guys Guts here,
Its been awhile hasn't it? Sorry about that I've been pretty busy (it laymen's terms lazy) with college and stuff. I lost my passion for the Eythir series, after re-reading it I felt it was too...fan-ficy so I kinda stopped writing it. Sorry if you actually have been enjoying them and were expecting a new chapter, I just feel like the series wasn't really going anywhere and I tried to put too many "Emotional" scenes in it to draw in audiences and...yeah sorry again.
Now back on to what I've been doing since the last update in April. Well I have started doing a "Let's play" channel on youtube, which I am having fun with, and I've been practicing my drawing when I am in the mood for it, I feel as though I'm a little better but just smidge still not good enough to discern what they are yet though.
Ever since I made this account I knew I was going to have to draw at some point, so I can get these picture ideas out of my head and make some room for other stuff :P But as it currently stands I can't draw anything good enough for people to discern what the heck it is, I can't even draw a wall or a proper hand shape, it comes out all balloony. I am good at copying though, which I've always been good at for some reason, I can copy pictures with almost the same amount of detail but they do have noticeable differences so you can tell its a copy. I have tried copying pictures from some famous people on here and elsewhere like the amazing Mirandleigh and the awesome Angrboda, and they have come out reasonably well. But to me it still doesn't feel like its due to my art skill and its just by random chance that they come out somewhat ok.
I think what I really need is a tutor to teach me the basics of drawing, cause by myself I feel like I'm just trying stuff that is way above my caliber and trying to do too much at once. Its always been like that with new stuff, get someone to teach me cause otherwise I go all over the place and try to do things that don't matter yet. I think its something like I need someone to focus my mind on a task so I can do it efficiently, and not go all higgledy piggledy...I'm sure that that is a syndrome or something I'm not sure, Maybe a dependency syndrome or something?....but I don't depend on them I probably just need teaching :P...now I'm going off track. This is what happens when I get tired :P I go all philosophical and don't really think about what I put online. I'm probably gonna come back tomorrow and read this and go "Oh sh** why did I put that!".
Anyway I guess I'll go out on a limb here and will ask out to any who read this and have knowledge in drawing if they could please teach me how to draw. I know that it seems kinda lazy to ask on here for people, who are probably busy doing their own stuff, to teach me but if you don't ask then you won't know if some kind person is out there who can help (be it teaching me how to draw or directing me to someone who can help). Heck i don't even know if anyone reads these so it might never be seen but there is no harm trying.
So thats all. I hope you all now know where I've been and why Eythir won't be continuing anymore. If anyone is able to teach me drawing please contact me with a pm or something and thank you in advance for the help, it will be greatly appreciated. Well thx for reading this and goodnight all :D
P.S. I have a few short stories in the attic so I'll dust them off and try to finish them soon :P
P.S.S. I might also upload those pictures I copied to show others, probably put them in scraps.

Another chapter
Posted 13 years agoMan Another chapter fo you guys :D I'm working very hard on this now so hopefully it shows and the chapters are steadily getting better. Nothing yet on the fursona character sheet haven't been working on it :P
Anyway comment and rate or whatever on the new chapter and say whether you like it or not, need comments to get better :D

New chapter and what to expect later
Posted 13 years agoI finished the fifth chapter a few days ago, hopefully it went down well as it was a bit short. But I read somewhere that if it is a action fille chapter it should have less pages so the readers will want to see what happened next, kinda makes sense to me.
Anyway I will be working on chapter 6 soon, trying to catch up on the amount of chapters I missed because of the computer fail I had, and I have started a Fursona Character sheet. Well I say sheet but it is more of a word document, I have no idea if I should wait until I can draw (anything really), or until I get someone else on FA to do it, or to just put it up as the word document and sort it out later. Any input from you guys would help as I'm still pretty new to all this type of stuff so I don;t know the...way(?) things are done. Anyway hope you guys look forward to the next chapter.

Half done
Posted 13 years agoSorry for the long wait for an update. I got Microsoft office back now and I'm about half-way through Chapter 5. Its taking a while though, I'm trying hard to make it interesting to read and to make sense. I just hope it doesn't seem rushed.
He's BAAA~AACK!!
Posted 13 years agoHello there Ladies and Gentlemen!
Finally after a month I am back! I am really sorry for being away for such a long time, I did something really retarded. It starts off that I get my computer updated, woohoo, and given back to me. Having a new sparkling 2tb hard drive I was ready to go when I had a sudden thought, Why not transfer my data from my old HDD to my new one?!
A Loooooooooooooooooong story short I messed up big time. It overwrote everything on my new hard drive it also got rid of my bootmgr, making it not even load windows 7. I had to wait until TODAY(!) to get the computer fixed, I broke it on october 28th I think, Now I have to reinstall all my software again, luckily all my documents and that are still on the old HDD so I can just trasnsfer them over. The only problem is that for some reason I do not have Microsoft office anymore so I have to get another disc for it...yeah >_< not good. So that means there still will not be another chapter for Eythir for a while, So sorry, until I get Microsoft word again.
But I thought I would let people, if anyone reads the stories or the journals, know that I am still writing them I just couldn't, and still can't, do anything. But at least I can now USE my computer, which is a huge relief. Anyway I shall see you all next time...
Oh and MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

...wha?
Posted 14 years ago....:Yawn: Hi guys....what day is it?
....WEDNESDAY?!! WTF?! I was supposed to have a chapter out before sunday! Curse you Sandman!!
But really I have hit writers block, which caused me to lose nearly all of my motivation for the story, but now I am climbing over the wall in the realm of ideas. After taking a couple days thinking about it I actually realised that releasing chapters quickly, only spending two days on them, can create a lot of errors and skips in the story that could miss potential plot points. So, after much deliberation. I have now decided to take a bit longer doing the chapters so not to make many mistakes, this means they might come out later or much sooner, who knows. This might also help in bringing the story of Eythir to a wider audience, ones that look for spelling mistakes and if they see a double negative they are outta' there, but this may be wishful thinking on my part. But more people equals more comments, more comments equals more feedback, more feedback equals better stories in the future and better stories in the future equals one happy bunny (er...Wolf/dragon/shark thing?). So yeah expect the chapter sometime at the end of the week, as I started it last week.
Oh and about Claire's bio I think I kinda went overboard going in the background, but I didn't know what else to do with her as she is the main character so I just went bonkers on it to try and give her the most backstory I could. Don't worry about the other characters being like this.
Anyway I'll cya on the next update guys! Peace out!

3rd Chapter
Posted 14 years agoThe 3rd chapter of Eythir is up and man is it a long one. It took ages to write, and I ocaisionally hit wirters block, but I managed to pull the chapter off. It is possibly the most chapters I have ever written for a story so far. I hoep people like it, or not, and comment :P
The next bio will be up sometime next week, so yeah sleep now XD
The next bio will be up sometime next week, so yeah sleep now XD
2nd Bio up
Posted 14 years agoThe second character biography is now up. It is not as filled in as Sam's one but it was mainly because not much happened to him. I am also decidng whether or not to include hobbies/intrests and likes/dislikes to the biographies. If I did do that I will write them in a "Edit" post on the ones already out and add them to the new ones.
Anyway the next chapter should be up at the end of the week, if not then I either got lazy or didn't finish it in time.

Eythir 1st charcter bio
Posted 14 years agoThe first character bio is up and raring to go. The first one is about Sam from the 1st two chapters and delves into a her background. The next bio should be up sometime this week and the next chpater should be sometime this week as well.
I hope that the story is getting interesting for you guys and that it is becoming more readable as you go along it :D
Cya soon guys
I hope that the story is getting interesting for you guys and that it is becoming more readable as you go along it :D
Cya soon guys
Second chapter up
Posted 14 years agoJust finished the second Chapter and have uploaded it now. Hopefully this is better than the first one. To me the first chapter didn't feel "finished" if that makes any sense. I felt like I posted it a bit too quickly. Hopefully the second chapter fixes some of the errors in the first one. :D
Btw if people are expecting some sort of sex filled hentai story or something then I am afraid you will be let down. I try to tell a story in the stories (wow weird sentence) I make. Although there may or may not be sex scenes or something later on, as it is a mature/adult story so I WILL NOT pretty it up and make it seem happy go lucky all the time. The stories I make are realistic, or close to reality.
Anyway moving on The first character biography will be up either later today or next week, and please note that the biographies will only be about the people in the chapter posted before hand, for example for chapter 2 tit could be Sam or Garrick, not someone who has not appeared yet or is not in the chapter, this includes Claire and the others from chapter 1. But yeah look forward to it, or don't lols :P
Btw if people are expecting some sort of sex filled hentai story or something then I am afraid you will be let down. I try to tell a story in the stories (wow weird sentence) I make.

First chapter is up
Posted 14 years agoI have now finished the first chapter of the story I set out to create. I really like how it turned out but it is really up to people to decide if it is good material or not. Hopefully a few people will be able to read it and leave comments about it in some way. I will right the next chapter in due time, no fixed date as of yet but I might write it in a month or so. Anyway have fun with the Sotry :D I will also upload some character biographies that flesh the characters out a bit more later in the week.
Coming soon!
Posted 14 years agoRight I'm finishing off the first chapter of the story now. It is vastly different now from what is on CYOC, however, even though this surprised me it actually came out pretty good. I just need to finish it of, give it a name and then it will be ready to upload. Hopefully FA is easy to upload onto :D
The story will either be up tonight or sometime tomorrow. Hope you are looking froward to it because I know I am as I can't wait to hear people's critiques and useful information to help me become a better story writer :D

A new future
Posted 14 years agoHmm now that I have thought it through a few days now i think that I will actually start the story from scratch. This is to give me more control over the story, and what happend at the beginning. This is to make it not so focused on sex, which is the main function (most of the time) on CYOC. Hopefully this is the right decision to make....but it will be a pain in the ass to write it again but I have made my decision. Anyway this way people won't have to go to the site just to read what happend beforehand...hmm the more I think on this the better it sounds lol
