So those that frequent my page might be wondering if certain images are no longer on my page, and they're not, I deleted them.

For a very good reason, I wasn't sure about them being exactly... of age.

Keep in mind that I mostly used to do only editing work, and while I always intended to have all characters depicted be 18+, the base images sometimes didn't really reflect that. So, I altered at least some of them to get them to where I felt they should be. Some of them I didn't touch up as much as I think I should've and maybe didn't really clear the bar. Some of them I did just jump the gun on removing until I got confirmation from the source, but I also didn't really like them enough to bring back.

I also removed a couple of the more recent Koikatsu sets as I felt they were... a little gross. One of which I replaced, the other would take a lot more work to do something with.

I do all of this because I don't to promote or be a part of the more sickening parts of... let's call it the gooner fandom. I grew up (especially in my teen years) on anime and its fanservice, and it warped the hell out of my sense restraint and what was okay to "like" and what wasn't. I always just assumed that Anime just drew them like adults so I should treat them as such and not worry. That's not always the case and sometimes they really do look their age, so where's the line drawn? We like to pretend that these are exceptions and we wouldn't do the things we do in hentai games or fantasies, but as we find out with people that get exposed for their actions, that's not true either! So I'm trying to re-evaluate myself and what I own and post. I am part of quite a few very open and welcoming communities, and I want to be able to "show my hand" while neither feeling ashamed, nor disgusting them.

Now, this doesn't mean I'm asking any one of my viewers to change or to delete something of mine from your systems, I won't. This stuff is 85% gray area anyway, and nothing will look perfectly okay to everyone on the outside. My judgements may not even be accurate and I just got rid of them in a paranoid panic I'm just having an anxiety-induced crisis and I want to feel better about myself. If any of you really want to see something that was deleted again. I will do my best to make it something I feel is FA-worthy.

Thank you.

I'm real glad I'm not doing this for pay, because I do not post often enough to retain an audience.

Hey, since I'm getting more into koikatsu and dedicated card-making, I'm posting my cards on the dedicated BepisDB website for archiving what cards I make for easy access as opposed to requiring a pixiv account. My page is here: https://db.bepis.io/user/view/4576

Edit: been uploading koi cards recently.

Also, I was wondering if my skills in scene-making are good enough to start taking one or two commissions for some small extra spending money. Would anyone be interested?

You might have noticed that I've had to use deviant art stashes for some of my recent work with koikatsu, which is why I got another account over on Pixiv so I can post my work far easier without needing to make external links.

I've also posted some of my cards there as well.

I finally finished this nightmare! There's a new set of three strip poker characters, they transform as you remove clothes! Check out the google drive link and get the three new characters: Gabrielle, Lana, and Christina.

https://tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/95526.html

So, a fellow user by the name of Farflord shed some light on this open source program I never knew I wanted or needed in life. So I figured I would tell you about some of my latest endeavors.

I've been trying to get some work done on adding characters and sequences to this game, I've put them, and any future ones I make into the dropbox folder below. To add them, just put them in the folder within the initial strip poker file labeled "Opponents", the game should do the rest. I'll admit I had to give up punctuation on one due to syntax, but the rest are fine.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ngiaj5k9.....fmqv7TPCa?dl=0

Also, I've fixed some punctuation issues, and I'll also mention some exclusive pictures are found within some of these.

Update: added two new characters.

and I'm still not going to start drinking.

I don't order stuff from websites but the look interesting: https://darkbunny.ca/

As you might have noticed, I have deleted my recent submission. It's not because of anyone messaging me about anything bad, it's just I've lost the desire to finish the story and from the statistics, it didn't seem to be that popular anyway; so rather than leave yet another series unfinished, I've decided to remove it completely and not leave anyone waiting for something I wasn't even sure how to finish.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I figured I'd end up doing something like this somewhere down the line

My recent edit of that Kim possible picture has gotten me interested in writing a sort of "phantom episode" with the blue fox gimmick, there might be a few continuity issues, but I think I can make it self-contained.

That's not my fear though.

My fear is that I won't be able to finish it, as I've had this problem before where I start something and don't finish it, it's why I reeeeeally don't want to go back to DA, but I really want to see if I can write a decent plot over a few parts, I think I might write a sort of prologue tomorrow and see if it can generate some interest from there.

So you may have noticed that I've been doing a lot of Ivanks' type sets recently, I mostly have been doing them because I like thinking creatively and adding personalities and backgrounds to characters that wouldn't otherwise have them.

but I can only have so many ideas.

So I figured I'd leave the next idea open to suggestion so I can come up with an idea faster and get someone else in on the creative process.

The only restrictions are that it has to be a design from one of the type sets and not an established character (as far as I know).

MY roommate isn't completely interested in staying here all the time so I can stop by here in brief moments during the weekdays and more frequently during the weekends, today is an exception as he wanted to head back home for reasons I can't remember. I probably won't be here quite as often, but I'll still be able to pop in and hopefully post something every so often when I weave around my schoolwork.

The meme that all can rally behind

I can drink, but I don't know if I want to, I don't know if I'd stop.

I'll deal with that when I get to it I suppose

I managed to get two shiny pokemon within the same month, without the shiny charm or trying. Granted it was in two separate games but still...

Anyway, Tekken 7 is pretty cool too.

I've been thinking a lot about some of the work I have that either isn't by Ivanks or some artist lost to this site or time, and after the Korasu incident I've been more careful about posting other people's work in edited form.

but

I still had others' work on my page that I didn't ask permission for, (at the time) I thought credit was enough; but as I've been shown, people still think I draw like Ivanks even though my titles have his name as credit and have the original artist's work in the description; so I can at least see where some might have a problem with this, so I'm going to go through almost all the deleted content and send notes to as many of the artists as I can so I will have their blessing to post them. If not, I will post which one's may never return and if you want them to keep off-site; send me a note for dropbox.

I hope to god they both don't know and/or don't care what I did; the last thing I've wanted to do is step on others' toes

I'll take it down if you think it's too crass, It's just what I hypothesized the April fool's joke would be (least if I was managing it).

I went on to Snaku Complex to try an snag some pictures without getting popup spam, but I came across child porn advertisements left, right, and center (while I can't exactly confirm that's what it was because I didn't exactly stare at, I can make a pretty good guess). No matter how many tabs or pages I opened, it would just be plastered everywhere it could; as you could imagine, I got out of there as fast as I could.

I don't know what to do, I don't know if it will be there later, but should I report this to the police, or is it too broad? I don't know what to do after seeing that disgusting display.

Might be a bit hard to sleep now

edit: got in touch with the authorities, I'll try to think of a way to clean my browser cookies sometime soon so I don't get those ever again

This has been quite the awful week for more for quite a few reasons, not the least of which been the most obvious seen recently.

Firstly; I contracted pneumonia, which I am still recovering from; so that chained my ass to my bed as you might have noticed by my large amount of posts recently. Being ill is bad enough but I'm still in college so I still have to try and deal with my professors and try not to fail all incoming assignment while shitfaced (yay).

Not only that but I have to deal with bi-

oh fuck this you don't care about that; let's talk about that thing seen pretty freakin recently.

About more than a week ago I made a post editing Korasu/Patohoro's Lugia picture from five years ago. I had been eyeing for a long time and I thought the normal process would just leave me with another edit in my gallery as I had doubted he (like many other artists I mimic) would pay much attention or even notice.

Then I get a note from him labeled: "You know what this is about." from Korasu

Now here's an overarching problem with the internet, an important thing about conversation is tone of voice, which determines the emotions behind what things are being said; it's why the phrase "sit down" can change from invitation to a command. The internet (or voiceless text in general) doesn't really have that, so when I see that note title, consider my line of work to be rather disliked generally; I read it more as: "I found your shit, fuckface!"

Now I'm in full panic mode; and I'm rather ill as I've said so rational thought has gone out the window, so I open the note and see two things "please let me know next time, okay?" and a link to his own update to the picture as seen here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22766437/ in a dropbox link. Now, if you remember the previous version you'll know the previous picture had soft eyes and a distinct smile; this changed those eyes to the more draconic look seen more in PMDE artwork; and seeing them gave me more panic as I got the feeling those eyes were looking at me and very much condemning me and my work. I had assumed this guy had more fans than me and I would be roasted alive if they got wind of this

Now I'm completely without rational thought and go fully into damage control and start leaving posts explaining that I will remove the image and begging for forgiveness; removing the piece and making the previous journal entry. I did everything I could to hide and repent for my offending work.

Then sometime later I got this note responding my previous one (copied verbatim):
"I really am not angry haha, it's fine. Maybe if you really didn't credit me AND claim it as your own work, then I would raise an eyebrow.

You really have to understand that other people that ain't me may be more upset with it though. I won't be filing any complaints but another person may. General idea is to ask an artist first, then they either allow you as long as you credit them or refuse to do so with no further question. If you don't upload it then there's no harm to be done really.

By the way, I'm really fine! It's just that I could probably do a better job if you want a specific version of my older works, that's all.

Could swear I put in the description that I didn't want any pitchforks aimed at you..."

yeah...

felt like a bit of a paranoid schizophrenic at the time and I had already removed the post and made my decision to leave it down as a better version was up; but I did try to better explain my situation to Korasu and he explained his and I like to think we're on good terms now.

So anyone of mine that think he's coming at my life, he's not; just a bunch of misunderstandings brought on by a sick stupor

Hope that clears things up on my end

I'm making it very clear that I'm not trying to cover my tracks by posting this; I'm just trying to fix what may be a burnt bridge between both an artist (korasu/patohoro) and whoever else may have been offended (I am sure there are many). This is the first time someone has taken umbrage with what I do here- Actually that may not be the case, but he did say he didn't appreciate my lack of communication; rightfully so. I removed the post entirely to try and diffuse any animosity between me and patohoro (I know I can't convince the rest of you). hopefully he sees this and my many... many other attempts at peace and sees that I really mean no harm and am very easy to back down.
I mean considering what he could have done; the death stare is pretty benign

and if everyone still hates my guts; I'll just privatize my account and leave; I know when I'm not wanted; and I can't really stand being hated

With my curiosity rising about weather certain people have seen my edit I had to wonder further, has anyone edited my own stuff (as in edited further), if so; I'd be more than willing to see it and leave a comment to give validation, but it would probably be best to credit the original artist first for future reference if this does occur

Altomare, a city of beauty, culture, and property so valuable the sea itself is trying to steal it away. This comes with a price of its own however, with all the accolades to its sights owning anything here is nothing short of a Herculean task; as such, tourism is the only way the city manages to stay afloat (for now). The traffic has done wonders for small town shops and the sale of useless knick-knacks, but places like libraries have gathered dust over neglect. Not helping was the advent of the internet so most of the information here was online, free, and infinitely more convenient. This leads to long hours and gluttonous consumption of your own products. This librarian in particular has done this for so long he's almost convinced he could replace the internet with all that he knows; though company sure wouldn't hurt. The man was just about to pull out a copy of some off-hand smut novel for a generous helping of cheese when he heard footsteps in the distance. This could be one of two things: another annoying Digimon GO user who snuck in for some rare finds, or an actual reader. The furor-filled formerly forlorn man rushed to the stranger to find a young woman with brown hair, and a white hat. Bianca, a girl he recognized as someone who more than often came in to get inspiration for art was for some reason looking in the "occult" section of the library. He paid no mind as there was plenty to be inspired by from these tomes and grimoires, though she seemed lost and confused looking at them.
"Ah, Bianca, lookin for something spooky to paint?" He said
The painter jumped and turned around suddenly to address the man with a blank stare, and made a gesture towards her mouth making some weak groans in junction.
"Can't speak eh? Need any suggestions? this section is small but it's got some interesting material"
Bianca nodded her head vigorously.
"Well, there's the Arceus compendium, for divine magic. The Nox for curses, and Gehenna Invidia for rituals and body altering spells."
She eagerly plucked the latter from his hands, and looked with immense joy.
"Ha, well don't too excited, some of the stuff in there is quite intense and not for the unprepared, but if you..."
He turned around to face where she was to find that she had left in an instant, taking the book with her.
"Oh well, not like anyone was clamoring for it anyway." he scoffed.

---

Bianca stared out towards the sea, lamenting her career choices in life. She had thanked Lorenzo multiple times for letting her stay with him while she tried to get her life together, in return for tending to the museum and his yard work, but it seemed her aspirations of being an artist were slowly being crushed. Ever since she was little she always loved to paint. She loved making colors form shapes, and making those shapes dance on a canvas. She was talented too, making the acclaim of most artists who examined her work; but that wasn't the issue as she soon found out. She had spent so much time on art that she really hadn't developed any other skills, at least not ones that were marketable. She didn't even have a stable pokemon team, and trying to start in a tourist trap is just begging to go broke in 4 hours; tops. She had tried to sell her painting but only had genuine success one time, when some "prodigy" trainer named Ash somehow managed to fry a Golem with a thunderbolt, despite its ground typing. That showcase of divine intervention and baffling rule-breaking inspired her to both interview and paint the trainer and his frankly disgusting display. Luckily for her he swore to secrecy so he wouldn't tell anyone about the Eon guardians and where they were hiding. Speaking of which she tried to sell those paintings as well, but got way too many intrusive questions from some shady people wondering how she got such detailed art; so she had to drop those immediately. She sold over a hundred of copies of her act of intervention piece and could never manage another spark of genius; even years later. She chose this, this her job now, and she needed to make sure that she had a stable career, Lorenzo wouldn't last much longer; but it wasn't like she had a library of images in her head to choose from.

Wait... Library.

Bianca arrived down at the west Altomare local library and called for the keeper.
"Ah Bianca." He said. "It's been a few weeks hasn't it. uh, next time you want to borrow a book, please check it out first, I know you're eager but.."
"What?" Bianca questioned "I haven't seen you in months, and I don't have any of your books."
The librarian looked puzzled at her reaction. "Sure you do, you got that spellbook for your art projects and-"
Bianca interrupted him "Spellbook? I don't even have any normal books around my space, you sure you didn't dream this?"
The old man was getting frustrated now "Look, I know this may seem like meaningless paper to you, but that this is immensely expensive and I know you can't pay me for it, so bring it back, and we can work out an extension for your-"
Bianca interrupted him again in panic "I didn't come in! I don't even know when this happened, what book you're talking about, I can help you look for it but... I... don't have it."
The man saw the genuine fear and panic in Bianca's eyes and thought about her situation, and came to a sort of grim realization after putting what he knew together.
"Maybe you don't have it, but I think I might know who could."
"Who?" Bianca asked desperately
"There's been talk these last few weeks about a mysterious figure in red going around collecting "things" from people" He explained "He steals these seemingly random objects and then randomly disappears himself, he might have possessed you."
She didn't feel like her questions were answered, but she felt like she needed an easy way out of her predicament; so she took advantage "Uh, I'll go look again and see if I have what you're talking about, if not, I'll go look."
With her parting words, she bolted off, trying not to continue a conversation that could lead to bars; but she did think about what he said. spellbook... Red figure... someone looking like her... Maybe this mysterious man was using Latias for some ritual. She wasn't hard to fool from her experience and had gotten her into trouble before because of that. If this was true, she could be in great danger.
Bianca rushed towards the secret garden.

Bianca looked all over the wooded area, only to find the red dragon on the ground, with a slit wrist. She knelt by her side and desperately checked her vitals, she was alive, but in a state of shock; it was clear whatever the red man wanted, he already had it. Bianca examined the wound, the blood was fresh, so he couldn't be far. Bianca left Latias to heal as she thought she would be able to use recover to heal quick. She ran all over the wooded area, occasionally catching glimpses of a figure wearing a crimson red robe; this had to be him. She chased him all the way to an opening near the pond, where she found a red circle with various "Things" around it. Was this the ritual? was this what he was building up to? She walked inside the circle to get a closer look, only to see something red stand before her. The robed man held the book and opened it to a choice page and lowered his disguise; only to reveal a bright red and white, plane-shaped dragon, with a slit wrist. Latias then smiled and waved at Bianca
Bianca felt many things at this moment: betrayal, fear, danger, defeat, humiliation, and many other like emotions, but nothing could quite convey them all better than one crass word:

shit

Have them, trying to get them to leave. Incredibly painful
ouch
