Message to everyone with a pending commission with me
Posted 5 months agoHello everyone,
First of all, I want to apologize for the delay in delivering the commissions. Due to the number of pending requests, I’m no longer accepting new commissions for the time being. I want to complete a good portion of the current ones before reopening for new work.
However, since last Thursday, I haven’t been able to work on them. A very dear aunt of mine was hospitalized on Thursday, her brain was severely affected after being without oxygen for about 14 minutes. On Saturday, we received confirmation of brain death, and on Sunday morning, her heart stopped beating.
Since the early hours of Thursday, when we learned she had been hospitalized, I’ve been supporting my mother and other aunts. On Sunday, I spent the entire day with a cousin handling all the bureaucracy related to her passing, going to the police station, the coroner’s office, and the funeral home. Yesterday was her wake. Today I need to check her death certificate, schedule her memorial service, and see how her apartment is.
These past few days have been emotionally exhausting for me. Seeing a loved one with a beating heart, breathing, radiating warmth, as if simply asleep, and not being able to do anything but pray that they wake up, even if with limitations, is an emotionally draining experience. And in the end, she passed away, leaving all of us inconsolable, as she was truly beloved. We had even planned a trip together to Rio de Janeiro, but sadly, there was no time. She was a widow, had no children, and lived alone. My mother, my sister and I were her closest relatives, and she always relied on us whenever she needed help, just as we could always count on her.
I once again apologize for the delay in commissions and kindly ask for a bit more patience from all of you. I plan to fully return to work tomorrow and will prioritize the most overdue commissions first.
Thank you for your understanding.

About PayPal Payments
Posted 7 months agoHello everyone!
I think it’s best to leave a note here about a change I’ve adopted regarding payments made via PayPal.
Unfortunately, I’ll have to start charging an extra 7% fee on any type of commission or adoptable paid through this method. These 7% roughly match PayPal’s fee (which the company refuses to clearly explain), and this will spare me from having to absorb this abusive charge. I’ve been covering it myself until now, but it’s starting to really impact my income, especially now that I’m undergoing a dental treatment that’s turning out to be very expensive. On top of that, PayPal has been delaying transfers and sometimes even arbitrarily holding funds.
To avoid this extra cost with me, we have two alternatives: using a Wise account or making a direct bank transfer. I have accounts in both the U.S. and Belgium (provided by Wise), which accept transfers from people living in the U.S. or Europe, just ask me for the transfer details, and I’ll be happy to share them.
Thank you all for your understanding, and thanks for reading.

Finally I have my Patreon, hope you like
Posted a year agoDears, my Patreon is finally ready, and soon I will be releasing the first short comic there. For now, I will be including the creation process of the first short comic.
https://www.patreon.com/furroworld
The concept I want to apply there is simple: a furry world according to my imagination and the guidance of my supporters through polls. To explore this world, you can walk or bike if you want shorter and more limited tours, or if you prefer longer and more comprehensive tours, I suggest taking the tram, the boat, or the express train. These are the names of the subscription tiers there.
In my Patreon, you'll be able to check out my art in advance, follow the creation process, gain access to exclusive art and comics, and even share your thoughts on the themes I could explore in my drawings.
I will also provide NSFW content, depicting strictly consensual acts between adult anthros, open to diversity but more focused on the gay audience. I do not work with ferals in this context.
About the comics, they will be short, with stories only one page long, with free themes, which may include NSFW content. The themes can also be suggested by subscribers via polls. I would love to deliver one comic per month, but, in the style I want to deliver, they will require a lot of work and time, so I will try to deliver at least one comic every two months.
As for the exclusive artwork, it will be a type of pin-up featuring a single OC, including a background. All of them will have an NSFW version for the tiers that allow this type of content. I intend to deliver one every two months, alternating with the short comics.
Free members are also welcome and also will have access to the exclusive artworks, but with a longer waiting period (2 months), in web resolution with a watermark, and only the SFW versions.
The animal I enjoy drawing the most is the wolf, so you’ll see more anthro wolves around there.
I will do my best to deliver content that you find worth following, and I count on your participation by commenting, providing feedback, sharing your opinions, and voting in polls.
Thanks!

Thank you very much, Dragonner!
Posted a year agoI'm very sad about the sudden departure of the creator of this site. Thanks to him, I have a safe and functional space to promote my work, free from the so-called "AI," and I have met very kind colleagues and clients here. I'm not a furry, but I'm a friend of the furry community, to which I owe a lot, and I know how valuable this site is to this community and to artists.
Thank you very much, Dragonner!

Notice and updates about commissions
Posted a year agoHello everyone!
Firstly I would like to let you know that I am no longer available on Deviantart. This platform proved to be extremely unethical, it spat on its own history and on the artists who helped it grow for 25 years. Today it is nothing more than a space for selling AI-generated images. I have migrated to more ethical platforms created by artists and that are outside of toxic corporate logic. I invite you to participate in them too:
https://cara.app/gustavox
https://inkblot.art/profile/gustavo
Now follows the update on pending commissions:
Tewulf: it is the current priority, I intend to deliver it by tomorrow.
Knyume: expected delivery by Saturday.
Atrumpet: expected delivery by Monday.
Giftedfox: delivery expected by Wednesday.
Wolfeneki, Bunneko and Barko: no delivery date yet, I ask for a little more patience.
Sibey, I haven't forgotten your request, I will start it as soon as I can deliver the most urgent commissions.
Thansk for read!

Warning about a scammer who plagiarized my artwork
Posted 2 years agoHi there!
I had the 'honour' of having one of my artworks shamelessly plagiarized by a user named stormm567 on DeviantArt.
Here's the original artwork:
FA - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55501178/
Deviantart - https://www.deviantart.com/igneogx/.....vis-1019949085
Here's the YCH of the original artwork for those interested:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53655484/
And here's the plagiarism:
https://www.deviantart.com/stormm56.....tty-1021160840
Instead of getting angry, I chose to look on the bright side: if the person erased my signature on the artwork to include their own, it's because they liked my art so much that they wished they were the author.
But be careful, this person is a scammer as well (he/she offer commissions by presenting works that are not his/her own), so be warned. Always do a basic Google Images search of the artist's work you're considering commissioning, especially if it's a newly created profile.
Thanks for reading.

About outstanding commissions
Posted 2 years agoHi there!
I would like to apologize to all my customers who have not yet received their orders. I was completely offline for several days and orders were hugely delayed. I really want to compensate for this serious error on my part and I propose two alternatives to repair it:
1. Full refund of the order or
2. 40% discount on your next order with me.
Those who forgive me for the immense delay will receive their orders in the next days.
I want to make it clear that I have never kept my clients waiting for so long, I simply haven't been able to work on drawing in the last two months and I ask for your understanding. Now I'm back and I will work tirelessly until I deliver all pending orders as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your understanding!

Notice: Commission prices will increase soon
Posted 2 years agoHello dear followers and watchers!
Soon, I will be increasing the prices of my commissions. Why? Because the dollar is falling in Brazil, and the prices need to be adjusted. Additionally, handling commissions requires extra dedication from me. I am probably going to open a Patreon with lower prices for subscribers; I am currently looking into that.
So, if you are interested in requesting a commission from me, please do so now before the prices go up, even if it's just to secure a slot.
Budget simulations and requests can be made here:
https://gxartworks.com/application/
Thank you for your attention!
Sincerely,
Gustavo X
