▶What are your goals for the con this year?
Actually have a good time without burning through all of my funds.

Yep, I'm sick, not sure if cold or flu, mostly energy loss and sore throat. Will draw when I'm able to but I figured I'd give a heads up.

So it turns out, I've been slacking off on updating FA. Will be doing so across today as i attempt to sneak in WIPs as well. Slow dragon is slow. Most of my updated completed stuff is in twitter though.

Do try to take it easy on me til i recover at least, energy levels are pretty low. Still drawing, but a lot of falling asleep in the process...

lots of folk probably gave up on me, and plenty of others who still hold onto me. Despite having depression/anxiety, despite all the negative thoughts, I'm going to keep trying. I WILL improve, I WILL complete my list, and I WILL see my goals met regardless of whatever walls may arise.

I could say a lot of stuff in here, but instead, I'll show it with actual attempts/actions, even when I do hold my friday/sunday streams.

Wishing you happy holidays, and no matter what, stay determined. Times will be tough, but you're still breathing, still kicking. You can do it.

may add some stuff but eh, just gonna leave these here:

paypal (food's always nice):
https://paypal.me/grinex



amazon wishlist (some stuff I'd like, suggestions welcome):
https://www.amazon.com/registry/wis....._CEljAbAJCSPM1



steam wishlist (might be a lil dated but I guess that's my list on steam, suggestions welcome here too):
https://store.steampowered.com/wish.....1198018679729/

So yeah, will be attending Midwest FurFest with Z and Wilgeon as far as I know unless there's a fourth person crashin in with us. We'll be at the Aloft hotel as that was available and has shuttle bus access to and from hotels and airport. Will likely be interested in some Art Trades. Would've done some on-site commissions but didn't get to grab a spot at the artist alley (all days were full!).

Who are you staying with?
 zackbarzahd and  greendragon101010

Day of arrival/departure?
Arrival: 11/28 Departure: 12/7

Transportation?
Flying / Uber/Lyft

Who will you hang with during the convention?
I'll probably be wandering around and possibly hoping for a helping hand to be my handler (partial suit's hard to put on solo)

How can I find you?
I'm fairly big/fat, might be wearing a Guilmon inflatable tail and a grey backpack if going around without my suit. On suit, look for Gabriel, might need to be approached though.

Are you cliquey?
Nah, I tend to hang out with anyone that'd like me around.

Will you be suiting?
I'll try to. If I'm not wearing a suit, it's likely due to lack of handler most of the time.

Are you taken?
mated to  kituneki

How tall are you?
6'5"

Can I talk to you?
Ye!

Can I touch/hug/snuggle you?
Only upon asking, nothing lewd please. If I'm in suit, ask first and try not to mess up the hair, brush with the grain.

Can I visit your room?
DM/Note/Message/Ask me first

Are you nice?
I hope I am, but I'm unsure.

Are you going to any panels/shows/dances/competitions?
I'll try to attend to some but may be mostly in the game room or zoo if there's nothing of interest in said panels. Suit isn't exactly stable and don't think I have the confidence/stamina for dance/competitions.

Can I give you stuff?
As long as it isn't Flu/Cold (Con Crud), Of Course! (just know i don't drink alcohol or smoke)

Can I buy you a drink?
Sure, but no alcoholic beverages please. If unsure, Cold Water is usually a safe bet!

Will you be going to parties?
I hope so if invited.

If I see you, how should I get your attention?
approach me and greet, or yell 'GrineX!' (e is silent so it'd be saying 'Grin-X!')

What/where will you be eating?
I have no plans for this, hoping some nice stuff

Can I come with you for food/fun?
sure, I like hanging out n.-.n

Can I take your picture?
in-suit? definitely, share em too if u want. without suit? I'd prefer if you didn't, but if you do, try not to share it.

ye, just referencing a certain scene cause i'm silly c:

I guess i got a lil bigger today :D

Soon i'll be 27 years old. As usual, will attempt to have a week off when my birthday occurs, but likely will stick to just 3-4 days. Hopefully I'm not made to stress out during said time.


In the meantime, gonna keep drawing and do what i can to improve things.

Well Figured i'd do some personal art and strictly upload them on patreon in hopes to get some funds on the side. I already uploaded two exclusives in there with a very low paywall. I'll pretty much be drawing a bunch of large digimon and if there's enough interest, well, will draw other things like pokemon and whatnot. It's an excuse for me to practice art without restraining myself or as an in between art break within dues.

If you'd like to help chip in, here's my patreon, along with my ko-fi (though on the latter i will do lil doodles depending on how much i get)

Don't worry though, I'll eventually upload the exclusive pics later onto FA anyways.

As I predicted, I unfortunately got sick from Anthrocon. Good thing I'm paranoid as hell and took medicine immediately and have been making sure i eat and drink plenty of fluids, ya know the usual stuff to help my body out. Expect me to be slow n stuff but I'm making sure I'm nourished n junk.

Just wanting to let folks know ahead of time that i'll be at Anthrocon soon and will be why I won't be responding or drawing much then. I may upload pics or stuff in twitter, but not much in terms of art by then. I'm still gonna be working n stuff to both try to make some cash, as well as try to cut dues down. Slowly but surely. See you folks whom may be attending!

Now I'm more determined to clear things as well as plan ahead. I figured that I should start doing graphic design once more and make some shirt designs for later. Other than that, It's just mostly focusing on dues and limit myself to the stream slots i offer and that's it. Pretty much I want to make more money while also not burning myself to the ground and not getting closer to completion.

Just a heads up, I'm attending Texas Furry Fiesta with  zackbarzahd. It was a surprise thing. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case I've been a bit slow n stuff recently and to give you guys the heads up i likely won't be drawing during that time.

For those who've drawn or seen my NA dragon self, Gabriel. Folks have difficulty drawing those giant wings. Have been trying to figure out a canonical way for a magically inept dragon to hide them for easier drawing for those who don't want to do the folded wings trick. Suggestions are welcome.

Well... there's probably more stuff i can probably add as 'little things' but eheh... anyways this is a lil list I came up with. It should also let ya surprise-buy me something but wouldn't expect anything out of it.

Anyways, i'll try to focus more on art...

Sorry guys, think i overdid it on the drawing yesterday.

welp, caught a minor cold. Hope it doesn't affect me too much but if i'm being slow with art, you'll know why.

decided to disconnect my tablet to prevent myself from drawing during my intended one-time break. It's bad enough i don't get to fly and spend some time outside of home. Here's hoping it helps my mind and body relax a bit, even though i used my remaining funds to get myself groceries. (that includes my credit money).

Well, i'll be 26 in around 2 week, not entirely sure if I will take a break since I will likely still be poked at during that time... just figured i'd let you guys know in the offchance I don't do much at all during that time, but for now though, I'll keep pushing myself.

Chair broke and while i have no money as well. Already contacted chair company but will have to wait for responce for a replacement. I could pick up a Serta chair from walmart but it would cost me 150$... some help would be appreciated...

Found out a couple of folk beat me to paying off their suit for MFF's deadline, meaning mine won't be completed before then. I was hoping to finally go to a con with a nice fursuit of my sona and show off n hang out with friends but I guess that's out of the question for this year. Disheartened, I'm just gonna keep drawing and be less socially active.

Yeah I really should try to upload what i draw more often. Keep just uploading onto twitter and forgetting to post here.

Might sound silly, but I am saving up for that tablet as my out-of-home drawing pc. I could get the older model but I feel like I'll get more out of the new one if i plan to have it as my digital sketchbook. Help is greatly appreciated but not necessary. Yes I am also taking care of other things, its why I figured I'd make the journal.
