so i wrote an update in regards to me drawing tf/tg, if you want to read the full thing here it is: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10703133/

tldr; i'm no longer drawing tf/tg, but i'm grateful for all the kind people and friends i've met through it! i'm leaving this account up and all the contents on it so people can continue viewing the artwork, but since i view this as a tf/tg account and feel weird posting normal content on here, consider it dead until further notice. i'll be more active on my cool-elf-guy account, designing adopts and new ychs, as well as posting fanart content on patreon!

hey all, after i'm finished with the current commissions i have in my queue (to those who paid for a tf commission from me, you're fine, i'm still going to work on them) i'm going to take a long (maybe indefinite) break from tf/tg's because of burn out and the fact that i don't enjoy it very much anymore. i've honestly been thinking about quitting for a while, and doing something else, but i'm not sure, i'm still thinking about it and experimenting. i'm sorry if this is a disappointment to anyone!

hey everyone! so i made a new patreon tier called "bandit" at $10/mo, and the only perk i have for it is that you get 30% off a new commission every 3 months (after payout), but i am still open to suggestions! i'm trying to move away from what people want to see and what i want to create, but i can certainly make a balance :3 https://www.patreon.com/hostile_elf

oh, and if you didn't see i have an adopt auction going on on ych.commishes! go check it out, there's bonus art included for winning bids! https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52596247/

i was thinking up ways to expand my patreon activity more, and i was thinking about perhaps doing a discount based on the tier you choose. the discounts would only be available at a certain time, but every patron subscribed to that tier would be entitled to it! for example, if you subscribed to a $10 tier then every 3 months (and after the monthly charge on that 3rd month goes though) then everyone will get $30 off a commission or ych of their choice :)

i was also thinking about doing patron exclusive ych's, or adoptables, perhaps discounted under different tiers

i won't do a poll but please leave a comment and tell me your thoughts, feel free to be honest this is just something i've been mulling over, and i don't want to do it if no one will be interested!

i deleted my post about the patreon raffle and am cancelling the event because i learned it's against patreon's terms of service. i'm pretty bummed out, but you can still pledge and find out about future raffles! sorry everyone

i'm super excited to announce the launching of my patreon! as you can see i only have a $3 tier, for the time being i'll only be posting WIPs of personal art and process videos, but i'll open up a suggestion box sometime in the future so i can hear your feedback!

as previously mentioned, when i start making comics i'll think about making an early access tier so patrons can read 5 or so pages ahead of everyone else! :) i'm super new to all of this but very excited, i look forward to seeing where it goes! i already have a WIP posted of some more cult of the lamb fanart i'm working on ;)

patreon

hello folks, i just wanted to give a quick heads up that i'm finally getting that patreon up and running! mostly i'll be posting WIPs of personal art that i'm working on, and everyone who pledges to my only tier for $3/mo will have access to just about everything! i'm also open to suggestions about what you would like to see :)

i'm not sure how many people know this but i started a comic called "her name was nightrun" back in 2018, and it's been on an extended hiatus while i rewrite it. in the future, i'll make another tier for those who want to read the comic 5 or so pages earlier! it might go at $10/mo, but i'm nowhere near ready to plan that out yet, that may change!

for now i'm waiting to hear back from patreon, which will probably be between a few minutes and a couple hours after i post this journal :P i'll make a new journal to announce its launch!

i had a bizarre idea for a new transformation ych, based on elder scrolls lore! i recently saw an artist on twitter draw their female hero of kvatch as sheogorath (white hair, colorful suit, black eyes, the lot) and since the sheogorath in skyrim IS the hero of kvatch, i wanted to know how you guys would feel about having your heroes sheo-fied? the way i see it, the sheo in skyrim looks different from the sheo in oblivion, so it would make sense if whoever took the crown of madness slowly started to turn into their predecessor, like they have a common appearance

i can throw in bimbo/himbofying, but mostly the end product would be like your character with white hair and a colorful suit. this is not a journal entry to bark at me about lore, this is just the way i see it!

edit: forgot the poll pfft

i've wanted to start up a patreon for a while, mostly for when i start my comic so that people have early access to pages, but now i want to do it for art in general. do you guys pledge to artists on patreon? if so, what reward tiers get you interested?

long story short, i blew a hole in my wallet buying gifts for christmas and now i'm going to be a little bit in the red :") all i need is $5, max, but even just $3 is perfect! i'll do any sort of sketch - bust, half body, or full body - for any price, you can see examples of my art on my commission sheet, but this is a NYP sale so i'm only providing this for examples, not for pricing. even just $1 would be a big help!

hey guys, i'd appreciate it if you'd take the time to read this twitter thread i made to bring awareness to a scam i was the victim of yesterday, especially if you or your friends have discord. they target people with nitro and trick you by using your friend's account. they stole $200 from me in nitro gifts, luckily i managed to cancel it before it got any worse https://twitter.com/hostile_elf/sta.....15676226957316
i don't want anyone going through what i went through, so i'd appreciate it if you'd share this with others!

someone i thought i trusted sent me a suspicious file and hacked into my account. they changed my email and booted me out. DO NOT INTERACT WITH cool elf guy#4516
MY NEW DISCORD is cool elf guy#2024

after my question was answered i understand that everyone seems to want to just know what i'm currently working on in terms of their commissions, so i made this spreadsheet for you all here! if you have any troubles with the link let me know, google documents like to fight me tooth and nail :/

it's super simple right now but i'll add more stuff to it later if needed

hey all, i'm super sorry for the continued delays, i /am/ going home early, just not on good terms as it's due to unfortunate circumstances. without saying too much the person i was traveling with was exposed to c*vid, so we're going to be rushing home and quarantining as quickly as possible.

but on that topic, i figured that you folks might like to be kept up to date on your commissions without having to message me, so i thought about making a public spreadsheet/document to show my progress. i've decided that i'll have 10 slots and when i finish a commission, a slot will be opened, and i'll work on commissions in order to honor the "first come, first serve" mentality. (while sometimes working on two at the same time)

that being said, what would you like to see when checking up on your commission? ie, what i'm currently working on (lining/shading/coloring), estimated time (i would only provide this in the midst of working on the commission as i can't give time estimations on commissions i haven't even started yet)

i updated the base price for fullbodies because i got it wrong the first time, it's not $30 it's $40 :") sorry about that, i noticed it earlier on but the process of reuploading everything felt like pulling teeth. really, twitter and instagram should let you change the source files for images, saves so much time :/ i was going to leave it as is, but trying to fairly price my ych's became difficult, and i couldn't in good conscious just leave it incorrect. sorry if i gave anyone the wrong idea! i'll also be updating my ychs to be more price-appropriate

would you guys like me to post my non-furry (fantasy/human/etc) art on here? i know that it's acceptable to post that kind of thing on furaffinity but idk, it just doesn't feel right to me. i usually just post it on my nsfw twitter > @/naasty_elf < but i wouldn't mind posting them here if there's an interest! i could even post it in scraps, just to keep it out of the way

would you guys purchase slots from a non-fetish feral ych? they would probably have backgrounds and dynamic poses

i do enjoy drawing ferals more than i do anthros, but i want do to an interest check! i will not draw genitalia anymore as it makes me uncomfortable, but i'll still draw tasteful pregnancy shots of canines and felines :)
