Hello everyone!

Just a quick little journal to commemorate one year since I first started uploading to the funny furry site

I’ve made a lot of new friends and have been having so much fun with the art and your comments on it

Here’s to another year of big, fat creatures and shenanigans :3

Have a good one
Hefty

Its time for another YCH!

BIG FAT BOYS!

There will be both SFW and a male only, NSFW option
More info is available in the descriptions of the base images

You can find the SFW base HERE
And the NSFW base HERE

This YCH is currently OPEN
I will open 3 slots to begin with
More will be opened later if there is demand, after the first 3 are fully completed

Slot 1  wanderingwastelander Complete
Slot 2  itzluca Complete
Slot 3  averageartenjoyer32 In Progress


Payment and contact Info

If you would like a slot, please send me a DM to my discord (nope4321) HeftyDerg
I will try and respond ASAP

I should be much quicker than this, but please allow up to one month for me to complete your YCH once I have confirmed your slot

I will need you to provide the following info to me
- Your reference(s) of you character(s)
- Your PayPal Info/Email (for payment request)
- Details of what options you would like for the YCH (text changes, characters, action lines etc)

Please note I have moved to upfront payment. You must provide payment in full before I will begin work on your YCH. You are entitled to a refund at any time during the sketch phase. Payment is final after the sketch phase.

- Once I have confirmed payment, I will produce a modified sketch of the YCH send it for you to look over. Example sketches of the YCH bases can be seen below.

The SFW sketch is HERE
And the NSFW sketch is HERE

- You may request changes to the sketch up to 3 times
- I will share you a flat colour image to again look over. This will be your last chance to request changes
- Shading, highlights and any requested text will then be added (see YCH bases for examples). I will consider the image complete at this stage.
- Once complete I will send you a link to a zip folder with your sketch, flat colour and final image
- Both a PNG and JPG file will be provided, one for each Alt if applicable (the JPG file will be under 10mb for easy FA upload if wanted)

I will upload the final image to my own FA here
You may of course upload it yourself but I do request that you credit me as HeftyDerg
You may also link back to my FA account


Thank you very much for taking the time to read and for your interest in a YCH from me

Hello all you wonderful peeps!

It’s been a little bit since I made one of these hasn’t it?

I just wanted to thank you all as we have passed over 150 Watchers!

So to all those who have been here since I started uploading over half-a-year ago (gosh has it already been that long), thank you for sticking with me.

And welcome to all you new folks who have jumped on board recently. You guys have probably figured it out by now, but we like it BIG here.

Life wise stuff is going OK for me, still looking for a full-time role somewhere and when that inevitably happens art will of course slow down but I don’t plan of stopping completely.

Speaking of art, however, there might be a new YCH in the works, so keep an eye out for that!

That’s all for now, I’ll see you all at 200W!

Have a fantastic day!

HeftyDerg

Well, I’ve made yet another trip around the sun

Hello everyone!
Hope you all are doing well

I am considering creating a YCH for around $40 - $50 (USD)
I’m just curious how many of you would be interested if I were to make one available

Comment below this post if this is something you’d like to see from me

Thanks!

HeftyDerg

THANK YOU FOR OVER 100 WATCHES!

HeftyDerg

Hello again!
Hope you all are well

Just two quick things:

Thank you so much for the recent watchers as we are approaching 100!

It may not happen immediately, but I am considering hosting a raffle where one of you can win to have your character drawn fat by me once we reach that number.
I might also include B,Sky followers in that, as I passed 100 followers over there a while ago.

Secondly, I’ve taken the time to add some folders and organize my gallery.
Hopefully stuff is easier to find now.
Reminder that sketches are still in scraps for those who would like to view them.

That’s it for now.
Have a wonderful day everyone!

HeftyDerg

Just letting you all know, I've set up a Ko-fi account!

There are no extra benefits to be clear, this is only for if you want to help support me and my art

I’m amazed I can even consider doing this
Any support is greatly appreciated, thank you so much 🧡

Hello again!

Hope your all doing well

Just quickly, I’d like to let you know I’m on BlueSky now due to Twitter continuing to deteriorate
Since I draw art as a hobby, I’m not too concerned with things like follower counts

My Twitter will stay up for now but I’m most likely gonna post art to that cropped from now on, with encouragements to go to look at it here or on BlueSky
The plan from now on is to post to FA first, then BlueSky a day or two later and finally Twitter a week or so after that.

Thanks for reading!

“I might go back to doing some smaller images and doodles for a bit”
So much for that idea…

Hi!
Hope your all doing well

Got a bit of a surprise for you all in the form of 4 images I’ve been slowly completing this past week and half.

My plan is to upload the first one the morning (my time) after this journal goes up, along with it’s Alt and sketch.
I’ll upload the remaining images, one at a time, each day after that.

This is partially to not flood you with 12 submissions all at once, but more to give a longer opportunity for more like-minded peeps to find this account and my art.

This is probably how I’ll upload stuff like this in future if the images are related to each other

I’m probably gonna take a short break from art after this (mainly because I have to for work/Uni) but after that I want to draw something other then Hefty, just for some variety.

Thanks again for watching and faving my art!

HeftyDerg.

Hello again!
Hope your all doing well

Thanks to all who have watched and favourited my art these past 2 weeks, the support is appreciated. The star and “cave” images were quite big projects for me, so I might go back to doing some smaller images and doodles for a bit. Although I did want to make a banner for the page. (Anyone have any suggestions/ideas for that?)

I also will be interested to see how my first story does over the next few days. Wasn’t planning on writing but maybe I’ll do more stories in future.

Finally, after some thought, I have enabled FA Notes. Feel free to leave messages there if you would like. Probably should have just left them on in the first place.

Have a good one!
HeftyDerg.

“taps mic” is this thing on?
(Que that horrible feedback you sometimes get that deafens the audience)

Anyway, Hello!

Thought I’d write down some info for you all on what you can expect from me, my background, plus some other thoughts I wanted to get out now I have somewhere to do so.

I’ve been lurking around FA for years now on another account, having discovered this place and the furry fandom via YouTube way back. Ever since then I’ve wanted to be more active in the community, and finally built up the courage to start leaving comments and talking to other like mined peeps here and on a few discord servers about a year ago. One fat-fur oriented discord server in particular came a place I would frequent a lot.

Recently I decided to finally give drawing a serious go after some events that I’m sure everyone is all too familiar with happened surrounding this site. I won’t get into that here, but it made me realize that I want to be able to leave my mark on this site and the furry community, even if it’s just a few silly drawings.

So, I started drawing and yeah, my first few drawings were ass, but I like to think I have improved since then and that was only just over a month ago. I still have a lot to improve on in my art, but I am very happy with my progress thus far. It has also helped to improve my mood a lot. I wasn’t unhappy before, but it brings me a lot of joy to make and share these silly drawings of fat dragons with you all.

I would like to thank and shout-out  Bloodread and all the other members of his server who offered their support and feedback. You know who you are. I know I keep saying it, but thank you, it means a lot.

So, what’s next?

Currently I have a lot of free time, but I expect that not to last forever. I would not expect consistent uploads here as my priorities change, but I think I’ll always be drawing something from now on, as a hobby if nothing else.

Other then that, who knows?
Maybe I’ll be here only for a few months and then disappear. And honestly, that’s OK, I accomplished what I set out to do after all.
But Maybe I’ll stick around here for years to come, making these drawings which I’ve come to love so much these past few weeks.

Won’t it be fun to find out?

Thanks for reading my ramblings!
