Commissions closing soon — I need your support!
Posted 2 months agoHi everyone! ^^
Just a heads-up, I'm closing commissions next week, I might open them again in late november ^^
I REALLY could use your support at this time, though ;-;
As you may be aware, I opened commissions because I'm not being required in my job until August. so I haven't been paid since June started.
I've been managing fairly well and I'm almost back to work; however, right now I no longer have enough money to cover this month's bills...
I have most of it, but I need to sell at least three bust commissions to fully cover my bills
I'm trying to make money elsewhere, but it's... not looking good.
So if you enjoy my art and could consider commissioning me, I'd really appreciate it now more than ever ^^
If you want to commission me, please send me a Note through here or a DM on either Twitter or Bluesky.
Thanks for reading, I hope you have a great day :)

Now on Bluesky!
Posted a year agoHey everyone!
I finally decided to make the proper jump to Bluesky, the mess that is happening on Twitter was the last straw I needed haha.
This account will be for both SFW and NSFW, unlike Twitter where I have them separated, so please keep that in mind :D
https://bsky.app/profile/ghostlybeef.bsky.social
If you like my art, Maybe consider following me over there as well? ^^
Right now I'm just uploading older stuff in small batches, but eventually I'll start posting new stuff there, too.
I'll still be active on Twitter and over here though.
That's all for now, take care!

Reigniting my love for art
Posted a year agoThis is more of a personal journal, and it's quite long, but I want to express how coming back to drawing furry has rekindled my love for art.
I've been a furry since I was a teen; back then I would draw furry art (Quite badly by my current standards) and I remember very clearly how much I enjoyed it, and how I would admire big artists and wanted to be like them one day. However, as years went by I began taking my artist career "more seriously" and drifted away from furry art, though in retrospective, I didn't really need to do that.
Even though I never really stopped liking furry art, I did stop drawing it myself. I would focus on drawing humans and creating characters and stories to share with the world as I worked my way towards college, where I would study animation.
As I took my art more seriously, I lost the spark that made me love what I do, I stopped thinking about what I wanted to draw, and focused more on what I NEEDED to draw in order to catch people's attention, and to be better. I've been very hard on myself and my art for years. I was afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone because I always wanted to draw the perfect drawing, so I would resort to drawing the same characters over and over again.
I eventually finished college and did become an animator like I wanted, and that's when I realized that, even though I focused so much on being the perfect artist, I wasn't. My art lacked something others had, but I couldn't tell what exactly.
My then-boyfriend, who is an excellent artist and is one of my best friends nowadays, is a big source of inspiration for me; he manages to create and imagine things that I simply can't come up with, and I naturally leaned a lot on his work to improve mine. But once I realized my art was lacking something, I started looking back at my path as an artist, and I eventually came back to my furry artist years. Then I noticed a sort of innocence in those drawings, a kind of sincerity that made me understand that I was drawing just for the sake of it, for myself, not worrying about what others would feel.
Having realized that, I took some time to remember and talk with myself. Do I hate drawing humans? No. Do I hate my current art? Also no, I'm just bored of the same thing over and over again. Then I asked myself, What do I actually want to draw? And I remembered the younger me. I didn't feel like drawing Wildon, my old sona, I wanted to draw something new.
I tried so hard to draw like a new person, to avoid falling into my current ways. I didn't want to be the perfect artist, I just wanted to be me, so I tried to draw in a slightly different style. I grabbed different brushes than the ones I always used, and began sketching furries, applying the anatomy and general skill I acquired through the years, but trying to not let that guide my hand. In the end, I managed to create Butch, my pink wolf sona. In a style that was a little different to the one I had back then, I was proud of myself for it and I noticed I actually had fun drawing for the first time in years. So I did it again, and again, trying different things every time, and that's why you can notice some variations in style in my first artworks. I was having so much fun! I texted a friend of mine, also a furry, and showed her my work, she loved it and said it had a different vibe to what I usually do. My then-boyfriend said the same, he said it felt like I was drawing more loosely. I stopped drawing humans entirely for a couple of months while I got comfortable with my furry art, and then, when I decided to go back to the other side of my art, the non-furry one, I realized some of the stuff I learnt drawing furry transferred over to ALL my art, furry or not. I was more free, and I wasn't scared of messing up anymore, because that's what makes art beautiful, learning from our mistakes.
I've grown a lot as an artist this year, I love my style and I love what I do. I still aim to improve, but I no longer draw only for others, I now also draw for myself, and that's what I was missing for years.
Butch and Wildon helped me find myself again. I won't stop drawing furry art because it's genuinely fun and I don't care about what other people could say about it.
If you read all the way to this point, thank you for hearing me yap, I don't usually express myself this openly on the internet, I hope something of my story is useful for you :)
And if you like my art, know that your support means a lot to me; because now more than ever there's a part of my heart in every work.
Later!

[Closed] Opening requests for a bit
Posted a year agoUpdate: Now closed!
Hi! First journal time :D
I've been considering the possibility of one day opening commissions for fullbody characters like the ones I've been drawing that have a plain background (recently Rimmo, but also Stormhide, Wildon and Butch) idk if anyone would be interested on that.
However, I first would like to test my skill at drawing characters that aren't mine, or that I'm not familiar with, to make sure I'm capable of taking commissions at all.
If you're reading this, that means you probably watch me; Thank you so much! Your support means a lot to me. If you're interested, show me your sonas! I might draw them like the examples I mentioned.
I don't know how many might be interested, so I can't assure anyone I'll draw ALL of them; my picks might have to do with personal taste, or how confident I feel at the moment.
So yeah, I'll do a few sona requests, send 'em over :)
