I don't really have ideas for the voretober prompts this year, as such, I'll ask y'all what you want me to draw for those! Planning to start early so I can get a headstart and potentially get them fully shaded and such. Here's the voretober prompt list if you're too lazy to search for it. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/62142356/


Note: You may include your own character, however, it does not guarantee I will draw them. If I choose not to draw your character, I will replace it with either a generic YCH person or anything I deem may fit.

If y'all have any questions, feel free to comment or note me

I haven't forgotten about vore day! I couldn't do it cause I had to go to a funeral, prepare for college, and complete an overdue Patreon work. However, now that I have the time, y'all can suggest a sketch I made in the past for me to finish coloring and rendering. Could be the vore day sketches, or even ancient sketches I made in the past. Your pick!

Sorry for mass-uploading art, especially during this time around. I planned to do it around the time when I uploaded the Xeno'Jiiva art piece but I was forcefully stopped by the server reset. (If you check the time when that picture was uploaded, you can see it was uploaded 4 minutes before FA shit itself.)

Anyway, SOME pieces are missing cause the google drive link to them expired, so full/FA rez can't be retrieved. There's likely some other art too, BUT that's the majority of the arts I commissioned. Hope you like them.

Hello! Sorry for the super long hiatus, apparently, all Upper division classes in college require 1500 word research essays, and I'm taking 6 of them so I've been super busy. I'm almost done with them all so I should be able to get back to drawing and posting art.

With that out of the way, I want to go over the new prices, which have increased due to demand (and several recommendations to change them from artist friends AND commissioners.)

Sketch | 10 USD
Colored Sketch | 17.50 USD
Lined | 23 USD
Flat Color | 29 USD
Shaded Flat Color | 35 USD
Lineless/Texture | 60 USD

The fees are still the same.

Onto the second thing, colored sketch slots! These will be done relatively quickly since I really need the money, and that they are pretty simple to do (no add-ons, one pred char and one prey char maximum, no bg). Got conned out of 42 dollars so I'm planning to make it up.

On top of being done quickly, these will also be cheaper than base price, altho not by much. 15 USD is the price.

1. CLOSED
2. CLOSED
3. CLOSED
4. CLOSED

Otherwise known as Christmas! If you don't celebrate it, then I wish you a great day!

Let's hope I don't get ate by a mimic disguised as a gift or candy cane, yeah?

It has arrived!

So, I'm planning to upload art that I've commissioned, likely starting from the newest to the oldest. I've just been too lazy to upload them A.

And since my gallery will be a mix of both commissions I got and art that I made, I'll also create two folders labled "My Art" and "Other Artist's Work"

Some of them WILL have a story, some won't. You'll see soonish.

You can now access my Patreon page! Remember, I do not plan on making exclusive artwork for patreon (at least rn), so you don't have to feel obligated to become a member. Closest to that is a 1-month delay for public posting of patreon-related works.

There are 3, 5, 10, 25, and 40 dollar tiers at the moment, lemme know what other benefits I should probably include for patreon so y'all can benefit more and help me out at the same time. Let me know if I need to change or adjust anything. The only thing I won't be adjusting is the member limit on some of the tiers (cause I'd both feel bad about taking too much and I don't want to overwork myself WHILE doing college.)

I'll be setting up a vote thing soonish, gotta think of possible preds.

Patreon Message:
"Hiya! Decided to make one of these on the off-chance that someone wanted to help me financially. Obviously nothing is required, but everything helps! Most tiers have benefits, mostly Golden Scales (reward points) and Comm discounts.

Patreon-Related content would only include artworks that are made SOLELY for patreon, i.e artworks that are made for individuals who are getting the free art every month, as well as a voted artwork. Other than that, I think I'll probably post WIPs of personal projects here and there.

Golden Scales are reward points that are given to members after every month, which you can redeem for artwork, suggestions, even an extra vote. Here is everything so far, but it is subject to change.

Every 3 months there will be a raffle held. To enter, you simply must redeem 25 Golden scales. The prize would be a Shaded Full Color artwork for whoever wins."

Currently, I'm working on setting one up in the case if someone wants to help me financially (but with something to gain). What should the benefits be? Currently I have noted down discounts on commissions and free art for specific tiers (along with the currently exclusive and experimental lineless and texture). What else should be tacked on?

I don't want to paywall all my art (like some artists), and I also don't want to delay submissions. I was thinking of maybe some early access to patreon-related artworks (aka art made for patreons and voted by patreons).

Sorry for not posting Day 14, currently it's WIP since I didn't get back home till 9pm and had to do chores and homework. I'll hopefully finish it tomorrow. Day 15 is already done but I'm gonna post it after 14.

I decided to open up 8 slots for voretober prompts, and 2 prompts for art trades (cause I've been asked by plenty of people if they can be featured in it in some way). How this will work is if you want to get a "Voretober Commission" from me, you must select one of the voretober prompts (pick from https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57952666/ , besides the ones that are already drawn). This is ONLY if you want to be featured in one of my voretober drawings.

You MUST follow the theme of the prompt. (For Example, Drowsy must mean a character in the drawing is sleepy, either pred or prey... or an observer.) If I owe/promised you an art and want to take a slot, DM me on discord or comment below!

BECAUSE It is not guaranteed I get to your drawing, I will be accepting payment AFTER the drawing is completed on the day of the voretober prompt. It also must be a simple idea, will NOT come with a BG unless its only a sketch, etc.

For Trades, both stories and art are accepted. The usual things apply, i.e skill level depicts how much I draw and such.

QUALITY WILL VARY ACCORDING TO MY WORKLOAD FROM COLLEGE

25 USD a slot. (Your voretober commission will be guaranteed to be a Shaded Full Color tier).

Voretober Slots:
1. Ryle from Discord (Day 14: Pool) [FINISHED]
2.  Craddock (Day 9: Craving) [FINISHED]
3.  Chaosganonbowser (Day 17: Rescue) [FINISHED]
4.  Brais-the-armaldo (Day 18: Fool) [FINISHED]
5.

8.

Voretober TRADE Slots:
1.  StormBoi (Day 23: Wrap)
2.

So, I have roughly 3 drawings rn that I'm thinking of making YCHs out of (likely just a SFC tier). However, I don't exactly know how to price them, and I personally dislike the nature of auctions. Highest bidder wins, AB, all that stuff, mainly because it makes the artwork just SO MUCH more expensive than it should be. While I'm the artist in this case yes, I'd get paid more yes, It just feels immoral to make one, despite the encroaching 0 in the bank account. For these drawings, I plan on only making one of each, so all would only be one slot.

My question is to you all is this.

How should I do YCHs in the future, and how should I base the pricing? Do you rather if I make a YCH an auction rather than a flat price? If it's a flat price, how do you think I should go about it?

So far, here are a few of my own ideas to go about the YCHs going forward.

Auction
(Artist Pros and Cons: Helps with money and keeps workload consistent compared to ideas below BUT financially predatory [At least in my eyes])
(Commissioner Pros and Cons: Better supports the Artist AND It is not a first come first serve, HOWEVER, the price would likely be higher than initial worth.)

Base it off of Tier, Complexity, and "Uniqueness" of the Idea.

Make it a PWYW with a minimum base price of 5/10 for the idea in the first place (More that you pay, the more that you get, and vice versa.)

Raffle Entries number 1 and 27 have been landed on the wheel, which looks to be  Akaikosh and Arc from Discord! Congratulations to them!

On another note, I want to say that I'm now confident enough to offer my Experimental artworks in Trades (both art and story). I won't offer them in Commissions yet, but they may arrive sooner than expected.

Lineless and Texture I'm still hashing out. Figuring out what Im gonna do with them in terms of prices and whatnot. Would love to hear how y'all think on it.

Yo! I know I've had 700 watchers for a hot minute already, but I've been busy doing various things like completing the rest of my commission queue and whatnot. Been a little hectic for a summer. Anyway, I have not finished one of the raffle prizes from the previous raffle, however, I will still host one. It's just that the winners from this raffle here will be on a lower priority list. Anyway, let's get down to the rules and such.

Only the watchers BEFORE this journal had been published are allowed to enter. Remember, this is a reward for CURRENT WATCHERS. IF you are not watched to me prior to this journal, then you cannot participate. Be sure to watch me for future raffles, next one will be at 800. (I will be keeping track.)

Low money so it's still just a raffle for my art.

2 winners who will get a free art piece from me! You would get a Shaded Flat Color (No BG.) Two characters will be allowed for the piece! (So, you can have a prey and pred, or you can have two preds, or two preys, or just a sfw art piece.)

-No lewd things! I don't exactly enjoy it, so please don't suggest it if you choose to pick me!

-Preferably, have a visual reference (for characters and pose wanted) on standby if ya end up winning (not required tho). Saves us both time.

-If you do NOT have an idea, I am able to come up with one based on YOUR ~~and my own if applies~~ preferences and the characters that you decide to choose for the picture! Am very good at brainstorming

-IF you are too shy to comment on this journal yourself, just note me and I can add you to the list.

-This isn't all the rules. There are more, but I can't think of them at the moment. This will be updated.

This will be kept going for 2 weeks (Gives me time to clear up of my comms and the previous arts owed). Winner will be picked on the 27th.

IMPORTANT
If you wish, you can OPT-IN to an experimental artwork. This gives me free-range of what I can do with the piece, such as trying out techniques, brushes, perspectives, textures, etc! HOWEVER, It is NOT guaranteed to be good! What you get is what you get, so if you want something consistent, do NOT opt-in. If you don't mind, and want to bare the risk, you can opt-in.

I updated this with color and shading. Lemme know how you think of it. :3

Probably the thing that really gets me going is the fact that in vore, it starts with two people, and in the end, only 1 individual remains. Doesn't matter if it's endo or digestion, only one person remains, just bigger (either with a bulging midsection or with weight gained), and that's just... A good thought.

I guess another good thought has to consider with Endo in particular. I've said in the past that I love when pred starts to compact the prey down into 'pudge'. How about how they flaunt it afterwards? Like how a feral predator in the forest would use it as a way to scare off nearby competitors by showing off what they gained from previous challenges, despite the fact that the prey is still solid within? Faking digestion is just H.

One last thing. Getting rid of the evidence. This one I prob enjoy the most. Two specific types.

First type: Getting rid of the evidence prey even existed so you can have them to yourself

Second type: Getting rid of the evidence of the Vorny action that occured so nobody knows that it's the prey that's within.

Both are great in their own unique ways, and I really wanna play with em more. This might be a bit more mean and cruel side of Endo, but apparently that's what I enjoy most!

Please note or DM me on Discord to claim it. If you don't claim it within 48 hours, I will re-roll it to someone else.

Thank you all for those who participated!

Onto the second part of this journal. The commission queue is fairly close to being done, so expect to see a submission about it within the next 2 weeks! It can come at any time between now and then, so stay tuned.

Raffle time since I reached 600! You know the deal. Only the watchers BEFORE this journal had been published are allowed to enter. Remember, this is a reward for CURRENT WATCHERS. IF you are not watched to me, then you cannot participate. Be sure to watch me for future raffles, next one will be at 700.

This time around, you won't be getting from a different artist as I've been running low on money more often as of late.

So, instead, there will be 2 winners who will get a free art piece from me! You would get a Shaded Flat Color with BG! Two characters will be allowed for the piece! (So, you can have a prey and pred, or you can have two preds, or two preys. Your choice.)

-No lewd things! I don't exactly enjoy it, so please don't suggest it if you choose to pick me!

-Preferably, have a visual reference (for characters, pose wanted, and BG) on standby if ya end up winning (not required tho). Saves us both time.

-If you do NOT have an idea, I am able to come up with one based on YOUR ~~and my own if applies~~ preferences and the characters that you decide to choose for the picture! Am very gud at brainstormin

-IF you are too shy to comment on this journal yourself, just note me and I can add you to the list.

-This isn't all the rules. There are more, but I can't think of them at the moment. This will be updated.

This will be kept going for a week. Winner will be picked on the 16th.

So, I'm going to be announcing my discord so that peeps don't have to poke me! You can friend me in case if you wanna talk about comms, want to do some rp, even just talk about random stuffs like Vorny ideas.

Keep in mind that my discord account is a Vorny account, which means I have a Vorny status and occasionally pfp play.

My discord username is GoldRath.

Fairly late cause I kinda nearly overslept it lmao

I've been sick for the past half week gimme a break lmao.

Anyway, here's to 2024! ~~hopefully this year I can find a belly to stay in.~~~

This will definitely sound weird but

I'm not one much for doing art for money. While it's nice and all, I prefer alternative methods which I get something directly, through fun times in rp or through trades or collabs (with writers or artists)

Main reason I do commissions is cause I know other people want some vore art. That's partially the reason why my prices are comparatively low and won't change from what they are currently (unless I really need the money, in which case, I'd do a small price raise or do a vore drive or something).

Wooo let's go, Dec. 1st

Later today Ill move all my sketches into scraps, it's a lil eye-sore to see the flash of white everytime I look in my gallery. I'll move them back into my main gallery if/when I color them or remaster them.

5 more days.... on the 1st of December.
