Gold here!

It has been around 6 months since the last journal and with my Commission queue done, it is a good time to make a new update. Also I want to talk about changes to both my ToS and my art prices.

Working on my latest commissions let me create very fun ideas! But also it showed me that I highly underestimated how much work I put on my art. Accepting more slots than usual was not a great move from me either, and I ended up with very high waiting times to complete the last commissions. I am very thankful for the patience my commissioners had through this.

After looking into the amount of work and time I take for my art, and with the help of others and their feedback, I have decided to increase my prices. It was not an easy decision but art is my main income and it requires me to move to a more comfortable spot with it without compromising my health, physically and mentally. I am looking to decrease the number of slots for my commissions per opening too. This is all of course subject to change but I want to see how it goes.

You can find the new prices in my ToS, which can be found in my profile or in the following link. My ToS

That being said, my queue is free! I will be looking to take more work, any news about opening public slots I will let you know through here and twitter. I will be looking to take sketch work and let Full Render rest for a while, I love rendering but it is very time/energy consuming.

Feel free to leave feedback about the changes! Also I have been actively working on art in my Picarto stream, so in case you want to take a peek or say hi, you can do so here when live! https://picarto.tv/DrgnGold

Hello! It has been some time since the last journal. I wanted to give a small update.

Have been working hard on art! My speed is not the best, but been steadily advancing on each commission, by today I have finished lining all of them so now it is colors+render left! This is a process that also takes time, but it is the final phase! I did take more slots than what I had in mind but I was not expecting to take me this long.

Considering the time I have spent on commissions I am likely adjusting my prices again, I will look fully into it once I have finished my current Queue. Also I will be looking to take fewer slots so I can finish them faster and take new ones sooner, instead of going for a very large queue. See how it goes with this approach.

I have been thinking in perhaps setting up a Patreon, mostly just to share full res of my works, including sketches that I might not always share or just have shown in twitter. But changes on the site along with my little output of content has kept me from doing so, instead I might set up a Kofi, for those who would like to give a bit of support.

Oh! I have been streaming my work on Picarto, whenever it is commission work or personal. You can go to the channel by clicking HERE

Suggestions and/or comments welcomed!

Those which ideas were selected have been contacted or sent a message for confirmation.

I really wanted to work with more, very fun ideas but I HAVE to keep a limit on how many I accept. (And I did push it some) I will be updating my FA page soon to show my current Queue and progress. Thank you very much for everyone's interest! Definitely will be opening for more work in the future.

Hello, Gold reporting!

I can't believe I spent over an entire year without writing anything here, but that's 2020 for you. Things been... chaotic, but still hanging there. Hope you guys are too! I have been working on art lately, doing some personal stuff or taking commission work from friends, but after recently having cleared my queue I will be opening for commissions!

When? Well... soon. And by soon I mean TOMORROW. I will be posting a new journal when I am ready to accept forms. This time it WON'T be first come and first serve, since I remember last time I did, the slots were gone fast. I will be accepting commission requests for 24 hours, will provide a link to fill up the form. Once closed, I will be choosing people and send them a message of their idea being chosen.

Also I reached 100k pageviews on FA. Thank you everyone for looking and commenting on the stuff I create, I do not answer to every comment but I assure you I read each one and appreciate it immensely. <3

That is all for now! If you are interested on a commission keep an eye out tomorrow. If you have any questions feel free to ask below.

It is that day again.

I was planning to give a proper update too but will leave that for another day. In short my queue is done but been working with sketch commissions, not sure yet when I will open for normal commissions but I will let you know once I do.

Hope you are having a good beginning of the month!

Hello everyone, update here.

First of all thank you for your comments and best wishes for both reaching 1k Watchers and my birthday yesterday, went out to eat and all but the day ended badly with my hard drive dying, resulting in some loss of data/information. I managed to rescue this year's artwork at least.

Due to this I won't be able to work with art until new one arrives and get everything installed/running. Sketch commissions, raffle sketches and opening for normal commissions will be delayed due to this.


For the Raffle Winners, I used random.org, I gave everyone who posted a number resulting in a total of 54 entries. The first to post had the 1, the second had the 2 and so on.

The winner numbers were: 40, 49, 53

Congratulations to

To the winners, pleases let me know what you will want through a PM/Note


If you didn't win, don't worry! This won't be the only raffle, expect more in the future.


One more year added to the pile! Don't have many plans, just lunch and... maws? Maws are important.

Also, reminder that tomorrow the 1k Watchers Raffle closes and winners will be chosen. Check it out for a chance to get a free sketch. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8750604/

Hey guys!

Last night I finally finished the last commission of the current batch, meaning that I am free to take more work. Of course I will follow the same steps as before and take it a bit easy at first, do some art for myself/others or take sketch commissions in-stream before opening for normal slots. Like before I will let you all know when I will open 24 hours before doing so, so stay alert!

Also, a while ago I reached 1000 Watchers! Thank you so much for all the support as well commenting/faving/viewing what I produce, never thought I'd reach such a number years ago but here I am. As thanks I do plan to host an art raffle but I have to give it a good thought, chances are I will want to host, work and finish this before opening for commissions so I don't end up owing art to people! So far I have thought in either offering a full-rendered mawshot to the winner or 3 sketches to three different winners, you can vote or even offer other ideas down below, I might not answer but trust me that I read all your comments. (I'm bad at being social sometimes ;-; Pardon my mess)

Last for personal update I have not done much apart from art or some gaming. Mainly been playing Guild Wars 2, raiding and trying to get the last for a complete Legendary Armor set (4 more days out of 30!) I still have a lot of trouble not overthinking my art or doubting my own skills, despite giving my best sometimes feels it is not enough and I am way behind in terms of time-skill. My mind seems to be dumb enough to start comparing whenever I examine or admire other's works which further makes it all worse. Despite this, I keep pushing through and hopefully will continue to improve. (As well tone down those dumb thoughts)

That is all for now! :>

Opening for commissions tomorrow, January 10, 2 p.m. Central Time. 3 slots available here, 2 slots available on Twitter.

June 4th the win. Another year passes, things haven't changed too much though I have been trying to do more art and get better at it. I keep getting hit by troublesome thoughts but usually recover after a bit or a while.

Speaking of art, I am planning to open comissions soon for June. Been thinking in opening 3 slots here on FA and 2 slots on Twitter. I finished my TOS which can be found here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/v8e4l4mfa.....0TOS.docx?dl=0

It covers prices, limits of what I will draw, payment process, etc. Examples of my work can be found in my gallery or twitter! Please do tell me what you think, feedback is important and I do read all the comments.

Also, I'd like to thank everyone who has watched, commented and favorited my work, I may not answer but I do read them all, so thank you for such great support.

And so I am one year older, cake day and stuff. I really need to speed up improving my art cause I am taking forever.

Not at home through the weekend but should go back to the usual schedule at monday.

I should finish some art. I should change a few things about myself. I should stop getting attached either.

Dark Souls 3 is fun, though might go back to monster hunter once I finish the game and it's achievements.

If you follow me on twitter you might know already, if not: On Novemeber 19th, 2015, at 4:29 pm my mother called to tell me that my father passed away.

I honestly didn't expect it, I knew he was getting worse each day I visited him but thought it would be like the other times, where he would then improve and go back home. It wasn't, I felt like it happend a bit too fast, at least I talked with him prior while he was on his senses, never knew he was on his final days or terminal stage.

I managed to see him at the hospital after receiving the news before he was taken downstairs for preparations and such.

Thank you everyone who has sent me support messages on twitter. Thank you in advance for reading this too.

At least he is finally resting now.

So today is my birthday, how crazy right? I have to thank to all of those who have wished me a good day as well a great thank you for those who doodled or gave me something, you really didn't have, like really!

The day has not been all about happy things though, currently worried about a couple of things and worried about someone who I hope he is doing okay.

A friend is doing his first vorish YCH, whoever wins gets the 3 paneled page colored and shaded, give it a look! The auction ends on June 5th
