September rapidly approaches. And we're nearing the annual, traditional 'embers, 'tobers, 'oweens and 'mas's.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's all those monthly art themes like hypnovember and such. The stuff that will really stretch you thin if you want to catch them all... Anyway, things are changing when it comes to how I will run these month things. instead of it being: achieve all on the list, it's going to be what I aim to do but might not accomplish everything.

Why? Because it takes a lot out of me to work on things. razor thin schedules, approval chasing, and failing to appease everyone and everything was why I decided to take a break earlier. In truth, initially I wasn't planning on coming back. So in returning, I've chosen to do things differently. I'm done actively catering for others. I had my chance to make it, took it, and ultimately failed. So I don't really care if you like what I'm doing or not. There's no longer anything at stake.

Anyway, enough of that. Here's what I'm thinking of doing for September something I call... Loretember! It sounded cooler in my head.


Last year, we had 'Hextember', Well, this year we have Loretember. I think I figured out what was missing in my craft. Pretty much everything I've built up on was made with the spirit of testing the limits, pushing the boundaries and doing the previously impossible. Look, I'm just a loser with a drawing tablet. But I'm a loser who decided to prove herself wrong and taught herself how to 'draw' despite however flawed that might be. Pushing the bar is how come I'm here.

And that's why for September, I'll be focusing on writing and worldbuilding. It's time to push the bar when it comes to writing. I have a 'closed' species I want to develop and build, plus I have extra lore for a new character to put together as part of my pinewood mills worldbuilding stuff. So yeah, September is oops all writing for the most part. But expect some pics as I continue to catch up.

Edit: Can't be bothered! lol!

Huh... Certainly is cold in here. And dark too... Where are the li- fbfffffffff FREAKING COBWEBS!! It's only been a few months!

Ah... Light switch. My beloved, where have you been...

What has it been. Two... Nearly three months? Did you put on a pound, light switch? Or you just happy to see me. Light switch, you must be asking. What have I been doing? Well! You see, my dear controller of lights. I have been busy. Behind the scenes away from my dear, faithful light switch, I have been amassing a small collection of artwork to post. Truth is, light switch, I never really gave up and pursued other projects, well... I'd be lying if I said that, more like I did a few minor vrchat projects and had to wait for a delayed delivery to start miniature painting again, But I never did stop making art. Even managed to experiment with some different things.

Oh, you won't find any of those to your liking, light switch. No... It's not what used to get posted here after all! But then again, you are a fictional light switch that I have personified for the sake of making this journal entertaining so... Perhaps! You might~

The first one after all is a belated pride month icon. Yes, I know, light switch. It's apparently 'illegal' to post pride month art outside of pride month. But we'll keep that to ourselves won't we? Just like the money laundering, femboy trafficking and arms dealing that goes on in the backroom. You know what happens to light switches that talk.

Anyway, that will be coming... Tomorrow. After all, I'm tired and this light switch bit has gone too far lol! And yes. I'm back!

EDIT: Oh yeah, I'm also going to freshen up my gallery a bit. Move some of the better works out of the scrap heap and into the main gallery. Might consider posting some missing alts too.

Y'know, things haven't really been right since the last time FA went down. Eyes on my work kinda fell off a cliff after the site came back online. I sort of just chalked it up to the backlog of stuff other artists were squeezing through the upload system. But... Reality is my work has just become uninteresting. My wants and desires for variety likely meant those that followed me for a specific theme of art just got bored and left. Should have spec'd everything into vore or something.

Either way I think I should step back and pursue something else for a while. I was never really meant to be here anyway. I'm just a loser who bought a drawing tablet on a whim. And worse thing's worse, it's out of warranty and well beyond refunding. Maybe, I'll come back with renewed ideas. Maybe, I'll forget how to draw. I'm not one for predicting futures so we'll see what happens.

If you do read this, thanks so much for the support! And, sorry for not living up to expectations.

Ah... What an absolute disaster May has been! How delightful.

Still... On the other hand, I now have 4 ideas to make into a catch up month sometime. I would however like to apologize, this month's replacement art hasn't been the best of quality.

Which leads me into my next topic - I have been meaning to ask this in a journal for a while but... What kind of art from me do you enjoy? And yes it's totally ok to say that you don't like anything I make. Trust me, anything I have made this month I actively despise with a passion.

Also, feel free to drop some suggested ideas, I literally have nothing to deliver this week.

Nevermind, think I got a winner!


Now on to next month's possible theme. With it being pride month I wanted to do something a bit more personal to me.

I call it... Warpaints! A bit of rebellion and anarchy mixed with pride. Sort of that whole stand up for what you believe in kinda deal. Lots of paint, pride flags and color. It will be featuring as many of my Lgbtq+ characters as I can fit. And I'm thinking up a sort of wanted poster style head/bust ych.

Yeah, I'm not even sure I'll get the idea off the ground, but hey. Maybe somebody will take an interest.

Well... At least the journal system works.

A few days late, but I guess it's time to announce the winner of the month long vote, Maytime Mayhem!

And by an overwhelming margin... It's the boys that win.
I'm chalking it up to the fact that they their peens out while the girls covered their tits...

Anyway, here's more detail on each artwork:


Service Feline

Meet Luca! He's a cute kitty. Soo cute in fact that he makes a maid outfit look all the more cuter! Everyone knows that part of the maid service is the show and boy... This boi is all to happy to provide that and more~



Taro Treat

This Lynx has been on my list to draw for a while. In the meantime, he's been chilling out on my couch. Paws up. But that might not be all that's out on display...


Helios' Hypnoplay

This one is definitely little cheaty. Pluto's out for some fun with her wolf of a man. Getting him right under her paw with a kitsune spell... Just uhh... Ignore the kitsune girl. And enjoy the mindless-ness. Here's a pic of them both so that I have a clickable ref for each listing https://f2.toyhou.se/file/f2-toyhou.....66HOtAlSc5.png


Harnessing the power of a Sergal

Xeno's been a bad cheese wedge. His sarcastic attitude has gone way too far. Time to put him in his place- or rather, his harness.


Now on to other news, this scuffed site maintenance has set back all of these ideas by one week. I guess the good news is that I have an excuse to not post something this week. But since I do this moreso for fun, I'm still going to make something just so if posting comes back this week I have something to upload. Not sure what just yet however...

Also, since all the other artists are posting about their other locations to find them, you can find my other sites right here: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/hyaenidhex/ Yeah, I'm not big enough to be anywhere else. I'm only so much an 'artist' as long as FA lets me be one. Otherwise it's back to the burger mines for me~

Ok, I'm a few days late. My cold hasn't gone yet so slow recovery.

Still, I have an art vote to do. The BIGGEST one yet!

Welcome to Maytime Mayhem! - The art vote.

This vote is for the. ENTIRE. Month! And is a battle of the sexes.
There's a lot of ideas here so I'm shortening them down to fit them in. Winning group will get more details.


Now, Ladies first, with the girls side:

Their entire deal will be sfw stylized 'posters' for a set of fictional companies


Lupine Couture - Luna has taken up a job as a photo model for a high end fashion and designer prosthetics company. Her poster is a vogueish print showing off a deluxe doll joint replacement to her usual claws...



Refresh! Personal Training - Tired of your soft body? Need a little boost in your life? Just really really want to snuggle up to a large muscular wolf girl? Call Sage on 1800 XXX XXX~



Witchwood Express Deliveries - Need a package service that's fast and foxy? Then hit up Akemi's delivery fox services! She's an old fan favorite and I'm dying to draw her again!


Tigrine Streetwear - Now, I know you need to be lookin' fresh on these mean streets, and what better than a weatherproof hoodie designed by Tigrine Streetwear. Run by the famous Hex! Well, not quite... You'll see she's gained a few more stripes than before...






And... Now for the Boys!

Their whole deal is mixed, but mostly nsfw.



Service Feline - Meet Luca! A cute feline boy I'm all to eager to put in a maid outfit and have him clean stuff. Maybe, I'll get him to polish you...


Taro Treat - This Lynx has been on my list to draw for a while. Certainly a treat for the paw lovers and fans of previous works featuring him...


Helios' Hypnoplay - This one might be a little cheaty. Pluto's out for some fun with her wolf of a man. Getting him right under her paw with a kitsune spell...


Harnessing the power of a Sergal - Xeno's been a bad cheese wedge. time to break out the old harness...



Link to the vote is here: https://strawpoll.com/e7ZJaD9xWg3

And will end on the 28th!

Ugh. Why are colds so sucky compared to other sicknesses?

Time to announce the winner of the latest art vote!

Out of the 4 people who voted, 3 of them voted for winner. So winning by majority is: *drumroll*

Holy Ascension!

To be honest, Constance is a sentimental character of mine. I've had her for years and sadly the original artist who created her design is no longer with us. I've drawn her a few times over the years. But none have really done her design appropriate justice. Hopefully, this time will be different. This art piece will also be that nude sfw. Y'know, the boobs but no nips kinda thing? I wanna be respectful and not overly fetishy that the macro / micro group are likely thirsting over.



Now on to other news!

I thought I'd spoil a little on the next vote coming tomorrow. This vote will be determining the entire month's art theme! Got two different things I wanna try, one being male characters- my boys are severely lacking in artwork, and of course I want to do something with the girls- think stylized billboard posters. Exact details will be coming well... tomorrow.

Ok! Got a few art votes coming in either this week or next! Specifically one that's a bit on the bigger scope than usual. Thaaaats... Not this one.

This one is about two other bigger scoped things. Particularly two ladies. Particularly over two stories tall...

Full disclosure, macro isn't my thing. Don't get the fascination around being stepped on by the living equivalent of a hydraulic press in terms of weight and physical forces. But, I can relate to the surrealness of something majestically strolling through a landscape 10x smaller that it is. I love surrealism and wonder...

So here's Megalophilia, the Art vote!
Without further ado, the ideas:



#1 Holy Ascension

Constance is a special fox. In truth, she wasn't a fox at all before. Simply a practicing nun in a backwater convent. That is, until the Vatican came calling. They needed someone truly devout for a special, undercover project. Someone... Who no one would notice had gone missing. Implanted with a holy relic, imbrued with holy magic... Constance was led on a path that would ultimately lead her becoming a goddess in her own right. Now, this holy kitsune makes her way across the planet. Her holy followers parading behind their patron. Those who gaze upon her, gaze upon utter beauty. Soon they too will leave their concrete cites behind, devoutly following her into eternity...

Themes: Sfw, radiance, macro, surrealism



#2 Cetacean Observations

Chaunteau holdings and enterprises make many investments to grow their wealth. One in particular is the funding of an extra large, 'Leviathan' class ocean mammal habitat at a local water park and aquarium. There, they intend to host a newly discovered macro-aquatic mammal, dubbed the "Creature of the Great Lakes" Little is known about this giant cetacean except... For it's love of showing off in front of the habitat livestream cams...

Themes: Nsfw, underwater, Macro, nudity

Link is here: https://strawpoll.com/w4nWWY6xxnA
And vote ends... In 3 days!

Ah... tis the time when we remember the time the easter bunny was crucified and resurrected 3 days later to lay painted chocolate eggs across the world... Consumerism has it right.

In all seriousness though, this month is all about the holy cult holiday of Easter. In all it's forms! I am no longer religious anymore, but I did grow up in a religious family. So it would be rude not to acknowledge that side of this holiday season with some kind of artwork. Without further ado, here's what is planned for April~



Lufelxi Lorebook

Yes. I'm still not over this idea. I really want to try out some writing. It's been something I have been plotting out in my spare time, but I decided I'd make it a full project even though likely it won't be well received by my audience. I'm aiming to at least get part one of the overall project being the lore done, but if I have time I will start on the free to use base to make your own of this species.



Lethal Bunny

I have just 3 words for you. Werewolf. Bunny. Costume. Is it going to be cute? Yes! Is it going to be a little sexy, Eh, maybe...? Will it absolutely tear you to shreds? Absolutely~


Fox-time delivery Replaced By Commission

Pluto has taken a very odd job off of the town's bulletin board. 9 months later, she's ready to fulfill her job- delivering easter eggs to the spring time festival. How come they appear fully painted we shall never know..



Holy Goddess

I bet I haven't introduced you to Constance yet. She's a kitsune (unsuprising) But a Holy one! Now, I'm not really into the whole Macro / micro scene (blame a few youtube vids on why godzilla wouldn't actually survive) But It's been on my mind to draw Constance as a beautiful, big, goddess standing over a city. Either way a good use of perspective and a nice compromise for the traditionalists this easter~

Be sure to check back here for any new ideas!

Ah, another vote down and finished! Figured I'd post some stats this time round instead of being vague and 'Ooh, a healthy looking pie chart"

In total, 6 people voted! Thank you all six of you who did, It truly does help me gauge which ideas people want to see come true.

Both "Trail Cam Terror" and "Gift for the Forge-Maiden" got a single vote. Good to see my dear Luna has one more fan than me, and someone else really want's that monster hunter artwork. Don't worry, these are still on my list to do at least sometime this year. (because I want to make them too)

But overall the winner with an outstanding 4 votes is Like Momstalker, Like Babystalker!

Guess people can't get enough of what I've started with Hex-stalker... Well... Now she has her pups to contend with! It will be fun to adapt their designs into a more lovable snake-yote form... Much to their own shock. Expect this art by the end of the week~

Hmm... I could do this... Or, I could do this! No... This would be a better thing to do...

I'm kinda stuck for what to do next week. I've got four good ideas to do but I'm not sure which to follow up on, and we're due for an art vote. Perfect!

Split Decisions! The art vote.
As usual, here's a chance to help me out in deciding what to work on next week! Poll link is here: https://strawpoll.com/wby5QNKrjyA
& vote options below, Vote ends in 24 hrs.



#1 Trail Cam Terror

The Chaunteau Preserve's wildlife trail cams have picked up a rather unusual animal at night. Campers in the area have reported strange sounds of grating metal, wet slaps and a pained, mournful howl. I wonder what it could be... Maybe I should check the footage... ( Short Sequence )



#2 Gift for the Forge-maiden.

Remember that monster hunter themed art from last month? Yeah, it's back on the list. Think https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56000496/ but Magnamalo...
( Full shaded artwork)



#3 Lufelxi introductions

On a distant backwater planet, a private pharmaceutical company has found the unthinkable in their cosmic search for panacea. One of the first intelligent life encountered beyond our solar system. Official researchers have been dispatched by the Global Space Authority (GSA) to take things over from the private sector surveyors and begin cataloging these strange cat-like tribal aliens... (This is my original species project. which is a two-part thing, both a lore & species introduction as well as a free to use base to make your own Lufelxi.)



#4 Like Momstalker, Like babystalker.

Everyone's familiar with the Hex-Stalker. As well as her psudo-pups, Tomoe & Ethelyn. It's only natural that as those two grow up, they gain some of their mom's mutant genetics right? Much to their shock, as their wolf-ish features become a little... Nightstalker-y (Full shaded Artwork featuring two characters)

May the best idea win, and fret not. the rest will return~

I have officially opened / re-opened commissions. I'm going to take only a handful of consecutive slots to begin with, to see how I handle myself with the pressure. But either way they're here to stay for as long as I'm able to continue making art.

My tip jar (also known as FA's shinies system) is also open! Had to sub to FA+ junk in order to make it pocket change prices. Sorry FA, but $5 is a $5 note and therefore not pocket change. (which ranges from $1 to 10 cents) Still, if you feel like throwing me a Soul as it's affectionately named, I will be absolutely grateful! I do plan on having some sort of milestone thing like a raffle or something depending on how many souls I CoNsUmE Err. 'earn'

_{Hi back, I'm Hex~}

I've returned from my shortish break. Taking some time off to think things over was kinda therapeutic I guess. Think I might be adverse to failure, which probably says nothing good for me as a person. It likely stems from my upbringing and overall path in life. Failure was costly as a kid growing up and my entire adult life has been failing forwards through time. Can't catch a break in anything I do.

Still, life goes on. And I'm determined to improve my art. It's become a part of me that is integral to my tolerance of this personal hell I've been born into.



As for this month, it's time for some personal projects. I wanna try my hand at making up some lore for my custom alien species, the Lufelxi and also turning them into an open species with a free to use reference base. Might even try doing a brief on a world building project of mine... in other words, I'm gonna be trying out writing this month.



I'm also reopening my commissions and shinies donation system. Comms were open for a short time in the background with out any sort of announcement but I had to close them up. And the shines are simply a tip jar. And yes. I did have to sign up for FA+ in order to lower the tip price down from $5 to $1. FA staff, why do I have to sign up for your premium junk in order to be humble? Eh, whatever... Keep an eye out for the full announcement post for openings!

I'm gonna call the end to this month early and take a little bit of a break to reflect on things and clear my head a little. I'm just not feeling artsy at the moment. And it shows in my recent artwork... Maybe I had too higher expectations of myself or I set the bar too high and ended up flying into the sun- idk. I wouldn't call this an art block because I still want to create things, maybe burnout? How can you burn out of a thing you enjoy...?

Either way, I think if I attempted the next artwork in the list, I'd make a mess of it. And that's not something I want to do nor do I want to disappoint people who were looking forward to it. Doesn't mean it's not going to get done- I just prefer to be in a better mindset and give it a proper shot sometime else when I'm ready.

Anyway, I have many non visual creative projects to occupy myself with. Got to write some lore on my 'custom' species (it's technically a closed species but whatever, I don't plan on it being a psudeo-gacha like some treat theirs.) Also been failing my way through unity and sfm. Learning how textures work, 3d posing and how annoying adobe is with it's proprietary files. Might share some of what I've done, nowhere near the even the amateur 3d artists but hey... To me, it's a bit more braindead than drawing and that's exactly what I need.

Sorry, I really feel like I've let everybody down by doing this... But everyone hits their limit and just needs to cool down once in a while right? I'll be back in rhythm in a week or two~

_{Praise be to our lord Slaanesh for the tides of the immaterium have begun to lap at our shores...}

TLDR - Small update, signs of activity, etc.

I may have slightly lost my mind the past two weeks working on my next 'major' artwork, but I'm pleased to say that through irritated eyes and stress headaches... I have completed my succubus artwork. So after my well deserved 1 minute long R&R session I'll have it packaged up and ready to post this coming... Friday-Saturday. Basically the usual time.

In all honesty, I feel mixed on it. Bit a little more than I could chew doing a fullbody group pic. Hell, I spent the first week redoing the line art 3 times over. It's got the essence of something good but... Eh, I shouldn't be the one to pass judgement on it.

I'm doing something a little different this set- Including sketch, lineart and flatcolor sections in an edited form ( Just a few measures to prevent it from being stolen or repurposed ) to sort of show off a little of the behind the scenes, and the pain efforts I go through to make something you can enjoy and I can be content with.

If you submitted an Oc for cameo feel free to check in with me if you're concerned about your Oc's place in this pic (or curious)

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm also still going ahead with selling some of my older unused character designs I mentioned in a past journal. I just haven't gotten around to making the ad for that... (Don't worry, I'm looking at the firing squad while writing this) They're mostly old designs for character ideas of mine that have been replaced with more fitting designs so I have no need of them nor should they go to waste on my hdd.

I'm also considering an alternate resale method aimed more towards artists. Err, you'll understand the how and why when I post the ad. This week (I'm so gonna eat my words...)

Tis all I had to say! Commencing regulated 1 minute rest session in... 3... 2...... 1............

*sigh...* Ever felt like your mind has been twisting and turning so much that it ends up as category-5 cyclonic winds? On a side note I deal with this kind of turbulence often and it leads to better or worse artwork. I've been feeling like this next idea, the one about 3 succubus characters in it's original form has nothing interesting to look at. And yes it's not even started but in the ol' mind's eye it's gonna end up like some of my poorer ideas.

So it's got to get something interesting put into it. And that's when the freight train hit. PORTALS!!
Uh... Bear with my insane rambling a bit. What if I did most of what's going to happen already in the idea but I make it more lewd using portals? I mean, succubui are at home when surrounded by all shapes and sizes of genitalia right? Right...?



And since I gave myself two weeks for this idea, it seems perfect to ask for my watchers to submit a character who will end up as one of these portal cameos!
Here's how it will work:

You leave a comment on here with a reference and to your choice of my three soon to be succubus characters you'd like them to be portal-ed to! That easy!

Male genitalia will be preferred. but in all inclusiveness, characters with feminine genitalia will be accepted in Hex's slot. (in which case you'll need to specify if you want either the chest or posterior shown)

I'm looking to get at least 3 submissions each. I'll fill in empty slots with some of my own characters if needed
Lastly, some refs to my succbi. y'know, to help decide.

Bonnie - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KP.....usp=drive_link
Dione - https://drive.google.com/file/d/14s.....usp=drive_link
Hex - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/58094881/
(images picked at random from their pool of artworks)

I'll be taking submissions for this first week as I start to slowly put things together. so consider it closed on the 17th.

Last autosave was WHEN!!??

In all seriousness, I wanted to redo this month's thematic art list a little. Especially since I have made some changes and crunched the past few days to get something different out. So skipping the wonderful intro I had here's what's coming:



Seafoam Sundae

Alola is hot. Like, really hot. Luckily for you, you have a rather caring partner pokemon that you have lovingly raised during your career as a contest trainer. Also lucky for you, she's willing to share her rapidly melting icecream with you! Her uh... Method of delivery is a little unorthodox...

(Themes: Pokemon, Bbw, Boobs, Food play)



Succufun!

Those who tell you not to summon demons in the basement are keeping the good entertainment away. After all there's only one hit girl group in the underworld - Succufun! They've had an eternity of practice and they're ready for an eternity of fun! Featuring Bonnie the dalmatian, Dione the deer-fox and yours truly Hex in an all new succubus form! This will be a planned art set a bit beyond the scope of my previous projects. And so there will only be 3 main ideas this month. Included will be a nude version, latex idol suits, an individua single character only set for each, and a special glowwy version showing off their tattoos, eyes and other markings. Hopefully. I'm a little anxious...

(Themes: Succubus, corruption (kinda), latex, domination)



Gift for the Forge-Mistress

If you're a gamer like me then you probably know February as MH wilds month. Or kingdom come deliverence 2 month. Orrr... Civ 7 month. Either way I don't own characters related to the latter to so... MH Wilds it is with my Magnamalo girl - Magna. Queen of the northern barbarians. If you've read the story on the artwork titled "Lady Of Lightning" You'll be kinda familiar since I alluded to it all. And this will be the long awaited mirror image to that~

"Life in the north is harsh. Every one of us is born with a hammer and axe in hand- shaping mountain steel and cutting down our foes. A tough life. but not one without reward. You stare at it, a work of pure beauty, an axe for her royal highness. Who awaits this perfected weapon in her palace of fell-fire and iron..."

(Themes: Bbw Monster Hunter, Dragoness, Big lady with big sword)



And for those interested, I may decide to finish off my ych. At the moment it exists in this state: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bU.....usp=drive_link
I guess if enough people find that sketch something of interest I may polish it up for sale. leave a comment if it's something you want to see~

Aaaand that's another vote down! Thanks to all who took the time to vote~

Unfortunately, I think I made the pitch for both options a little too appealing. Since we have a tie. So, I'm bringing my wheel of fate out in tiebreaker setting to solve it! -Trust me, it even has a cookie dispenser. I spared no expense with it.

And so, the winner by tiebreaker is *drumroll intensifies*



Victoria's Older Form (the Bdsm art)



And so I have something to draw this week. During february, I'm planning to do another themed art month around the very gross and disgusting hormonal desire humans and furries seem to have known as Lust! err... no that's not right- Horny-ness! Hmm... no, that's not it either- Love? Yeah! Love! How gross! Keep an eye out next month~ (like 3 days. or something)

I've also been considering letting go some of my unused / retired character designs. Specifically the ones I've replaced with more fitting designs or have no real need for so keep an eye out for the post on that.

*EDIT Wait! Waitwaitwaitwait! Forgot the proof. Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jg.....usp=drive_link
Don't want people thinking I'm not being impartial. Ciao~

This journal contains insane ramblings and curiosities of an insane woman and may be irrelevant in importance. Viewer discretion is advised.



Ok, So... In my travels through the various micro-niches of the furry fanbase, I have stumbled across a really cute custom species. That remind me very much of my Nightstalker design- The Mamagen.

I think they're a closed species? Kinda look related to protogens? Might be that supposed premium, tier 3 sub version of a protogen I heard about looking up the deal with protogens...

Idk, Don't know all that much about the various "My original dog species pls don't steal" things. I really want to make a Mamagen Hex though. Same vein as the Hex-stalker, feels like a natural fit! But I could use some help finding more info so I'm not dmca'd out of this thread of the multiverse by an angry artist. So if you have info, do share? Pretty Please? OvO



Side note, I'm the proud owner of one of those "My original dog species pls don't steal" Species. In this case it's a "cat species pls don't-" Look, it's a cat like alien species. Called the Lufelxi. Thought it would be a fun little venture to perhaps build on the original owner's foundation with some established lore and a few other members of said species. It's techinically "closed" but I don't want it to be that level of stupid. So consider them an "open with conditions" Species.

Feel free to give the model 'ambassador' of this species, Kidalin a look over, would love to hear some thoughts: https://toyhou.se/24511990.kidalin


And for shilling's sake, my lunar new year art vote is still running. So if you haven't voted feel free to cast one following this journal: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11052439/

Ok, I'm done. Back to momentary sanity for me~

Apologies for not uploading yesterday. I usually aim for that start of the weekend time for my art. Buuut... I have been cooking! Or is it cooked? No... Actually idk, just insert whatever viral word is popular for 'busy' these days.

I have two juicy image sets! Something from my hit list of ideas and gift art- An Excadrill poke-girl, with a few different alts I managed to bake up. your standard nude but also some more... fetish based stuff like a musky version. That's the entree / appetizer coming later today!

Then there's something I do pretty much every year, and that's draw my first Oc. She was created around the 15th and it's also coincedently the same time I started drawing so it's a nice sentimental... Main course if you will. Some good stuff for those who like dommy girls or paws. Or both! Some other flavors like a hypno version there too~

Also, I'm open to hearing other suggestions for sharing these sets. I've heard that Imgur is good but I don't know if it has a no-nsfw policy or the ability to package the set for people to download. I don't particularly want to charge for these sets so free options prime consideration!

Serpentine Solutions - Art vote

Lunar new year is fast approaching! And while most celebrate it at the start of the western new year, I prefer to remain courteous to the traditions of my eastern brethren. So I have one saucy snek I have been keeping warm on the backburner just for this occasion! Victoria the Serperior. You'll uh, see her in the artwork coming in two weeks.

But I have one teensy problem. She has two designs. A few of my Ocs are already written by me and just get a design attached to them. Victoria is one of these and she ended up getting two designs attached instead of being replaced. She has a younger more wizardly inclined form as well as a older, dominant seductress form. So... Why not vote on it!


Victoria's younger form will be more paw focused. Think, a bratty student having some teasy fun with a fellow student after class. Possibly with some hypno or portal magic involved because... This design is all that.

Her older form is going to be more bdsm focused. Think latex, whips, crops, ropes and chains. All the saucy stuff. She also has a more milf-y bodyshape because time has... been very kind to her~

And it will end on... the 26th!

So... Now that the entire planet is now on the same year, it's time to share some updates and plans for the year. Last year was a great start, but that's all it really was. A start. Hopefully a start for something great! Here's what will be happening, changing and coming this year. Maybe...

General Art Stuff

Pretty much more of the same. Other artists have recommended I ditch the safe for work, post more frequently and stop with the creative writing. Y'know, a sort of a keep it simple method. Problem is I like the way I operate. It's a nice, enjoyable balance. And I get to express the creativity I have that has long been ridiculed for being stupid and pathetic. I might however attempt to post more frequently as well as delve into the more explicit art, including sex scenes and such... Also give the males in my roster their much needed attention.

Other art stuff

Raffles, votes and more! All the fun activities of 2024 are still here but also a few more! Mainly more opportunities to earn free art, have some input and such. I plan to have a milestone system for the shines thing mentioned above specifically for those who donate, like an exclusive raffle or something but it's still pretty much up in the air. I'm also going to be doing something I call 'Hex's hit list' and more battle of the ---- votes.

Hex's Hit List

There's a real mean posse 'round these parts. an' this here sheriff's gonna round them up! Hex's hit list is a list of characters I want to draw. Primarily owned by others, but also a few designs and such that don't yet exist. So this little list is going to be a mix of new characters and gift art. Those on the list won't know until it's too late! (err, well when I ask permission to draw their OCs)

Life stuff

Last year, I did all the things in this category. got the new pc, left the toxic workplace... This year, it's find a new job- I'm thinking a different field than kitchen and hospitality. Can't stand the long hours or pressure anymore thanks to said previous job. Also complete a bucket list activity- I managed to score a 40k helldrake minature (kinda hard to get in these parts) and the plan is to do an amazing custom paint job with it. I might share the process if people are interested. But it's not a furry thing so...



That's it! If you got any suggestions, I'm open to hearing them below. Lets make 2025 THE Best year~

*Closed Up! Unfilled slots will have to remain unfilled if I am to get this art out on time.*

Come one, come all~ (no... not like that >.> )
I, Hyaenidhex. Amateur artist extraordinaire-ly bad... would like to ask for your interest!

Not sure how many actually saw the last journal, but I'm looking for some cameos to appear as some plushie, pillow heads in my next artwork. I have about... 5 spots. With one already taken.

If you're interested in having your character appear in my next artwork, (character submitters get a full res version to keep for themselves) Then leave a comment on this journal for which number slot you would like!

Sketched artwork preview is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_m.....usp=drive_link (keep in mind this isn't the finished product. Actually... far from it)

Colored slots are the ones open!

Slot 1 - X
Slot 2 -  VasilyVaskovich
Slot 3 -  yang_the_second
Slot 4 -  equine-essayist
Slot 5 - X

Offer is open for 24 hours only! Schedules and all, I need to keep my art on time~

Hmm... A healthy looking pie chart this time! Delicious~

Unfortunately said delicious pie chart is actually a tie. Though it's safe to say that both future side ideas are out of the running. Still those characters will make an appearance next year regardless.

Now this tie. Unlike last time I have prepared for a potential tie, and I won't need to compromise my morals by placing a tie breaker. Instead, my wheel of fate shall decide the winner.

And it has decided that we are cast upon the timeline where...

The Seamstress' Plushies Win!

Proof if peeps are contesting this victory: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h_.....usp=drive_link


Now... I need some volunteers!

Part of this vote idea included the idea of plushie cameos from my watchers. Though I wish I could prioritize those who voted, the anonymity of the vote means I don't know who did or didn't vote. So instead... If you get this journal (e.g. you're watching me) Feel free to drop a ref below and you might just end up in this next artwork as a cute little cameo!

I'll be adding as many as I can but depending on how many take the chance not everyone will get a spot. so first come first served I guess...

Expect this artwork either this week or early next~

Phew... Last thing on my December agenda!

I have... Many characters than I care to admit. Some of which have yet to make an appearance in my gallery and others yet to make a return. This vote is about them! A way to showcase what might be in store for 2025, if I'm still bashing my brain against this wall around then. I have split the vote up into two parts- one featuring some memorable moments from before, and the other being some new additions to my roster that I hope to use more frequently next year! This group will be more freeform than set like the past ideas.



Without further ado the vote:


The Past


The Seamstress' Plushies

It's been quite a while since I last drew Akane Chaunteau. Like... Over a year long. It's time to give this witchy werewolf some love and snuggles. Mostly snuggles... With her plushie pile of formerly living subjects. Thinking of asking for some cameos for this idea! That is, if you don't mind becoming a loyal enchanted plushie servant?

Themes include: Plushies, Paws, & Hugs



Revenge of the Venus Fox-Trap

Feels like only yesterday did Akemi succumbed to the hypnotic sap of the Venus Fox-Trap. Don't worry! She made a full recovery and is now ready for another photoshoot with the matron's prized carnivorous plant! This time with a bit more of a permanent fixture...

Themes likely: Vore sequence, Petrification, Hypnosis / mind-control



The Future


Taro

I've been keeping this guy secret for a bit. Out of concern that I would not be able to live up to what his previous owner and designer did with him. But... I realize that's the wrong idea to have. So! Here's a warm welcome to Taro the lynx! I'm thinking some cozy vibes featuring his pawbs and other bits... It is time for him to turn over a new leaf under my ownership.

Themes: Paws, Perspective, Nudity.



Dione

This gal is a cute little deer fox! Well maybe not... She's also a dragon-raptor and a closet succubus! Either way a very versatile cutie that I look forward to creating with! Speaking off... Anyone fancy a Succubus...? Why? Eh. No reason~

Themes: Sexy, Hooves, Demonic influences, Lust

Will end on the 22nd.

♪♪♪ Deck the halls with boughs of horrors- La la la... ♪♪♪

It is time to see who is getting an extra present this year! (Disclaimer: Additional presents awarded do not attribute to one's status on the naughty list) Again, my wheel of fate has it's threads and springs of time wound up for another roll.

And thusly it has decided that we now reside in the timeline where:

#1  Bowhuskers Wins!

Winner must submit their Christmas themed idea, including refs and such to me via dm within the next 24 hours. Lest the weave of fate unravel and a new winner is crowned.

Thanks to all who joined in! I admit I kinda like doing fun things like raffles, so I'll see what other fun little minigames and prizes I can come up with next year for you to try your hand at~
