Repping this big time for maximum points :)

Artist's raffle details and where to enter... here... 👉👉👉 https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59045499/ 👈👈👈

Artist in question did indeed provide me with .PSD's of the art commissions I got from them. The files are admittedly confusing in the amount of layers they contain with minute changes inbetween them, but there's clearly evidence of the artist's own efforts... such that if I had these I likely would not have posted my last journal. So, I am sorry to them for that.

I asked a few people (artist friends included) for their opinions, and they pointed out some details that still leave some lingering suspicions in my mind... I'm not sure what to believe one way or another other than I just want to put this behind me and not think about it anymore. I won't be reuploading the artwork in question.

I was duped by an "artist" into commissioning them for what I thought was real artwork; turns out they were just using AI garbage (and in hindsight, there's actually a second "artist" I worked with that did the same...). I've removed the artwork and blocked them. I feel taken advantage of and I'm admittedly pretty wary of working with any artists that aren't well established or familiar to me (if you're the individual in question and read this and by some chance want to refute my claim, just send me a .PSD of the artwork you gave me with lines/flats/shading layers and I'll apologize profusely and take all of this back).

Anyway, I detest AI artwork, particularly in the furry fandom which owes much of its existence to the efforts of actual artists.

No... the artist in question did send me a .PSD. I'll issue a more formal thing later.

Extra, extra! Reeeaaaad all about it!!! Join the fray, test yer luck!

 Inert-Ren has an art raffle. Gotta follow 'em and promote their raffle via a journal (much like this one!) >>> https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10953835/ <<<

After a nice stint in the Bay Area I now live in Seattle... for now! 😈

I'm also trying hard to save up money, so I've been doing far less art commissioning!

Come and partake, if it pleases ye. Artist is  KAFUNYA

Lovely artist ( Vtza) I've commissioned before is hosting a raffle. It's free real estate (kind of).

I've never contended with so many roundabouts before (but they're much better than constant stop signs/traffic lights!).

It's also my first time in Europe ^^

How present is the furry presence here...? Hmm.

Details be here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/49812541/

Good luck ^^

Plane tickets got really expensive 😩

I just want my previous journal to disappear since I've been getting art again 😇

I don't like longwinded journals, or even writing journals, period. So here goes: an attempt at a condensed journal.

Recently I lost a lot of interest in commissioning art. To anyone that pays particular attention to my FA this may have been obvious. Aside from some pending commissions from earlier this year (and some from even further back) and any art that I may be gifted, I don't see myself commissioning anything else in the foreseeable future.

This isn't in response to anything anyone's done. I haven't had any negative experiences with any artists or figures in the furry fandom. Rather, I've just felt my priorities shift. I only mention this because my prolific commissioning habits are, in part, what I'm known for here. Looking back I think near-obsessive art commissioning was just my way of trying to fill holes in my life with something--anything--because my actual life was lacking real meaning or direction--same could be said with my obsessive gaming and trophy-hunting habits (in the span of three years I got something like 100+ platinum trophies).

I'm recognizing the unhealthy patterns in my behavior (and their source)... and trying to instate some positive changes in my life.

🎊🎉🥳🎉🎊

Yah I'll be there. (= Rawr, skree, meow, bark, neigh at me (whichever you prefer).

Despite moving to the West Coast I'll still be making Anthrocon this year along with arcaeni :)

Am looking forward to time off work and free tacos, and getting to see my fam back in Ohio!

Later on this month I'll be moving from my home state of Ohio to California with my beloved foxy woxy arcaeni After little over two years of long distance we'll finally get to be together full-time and start a new chapter of our relationship... and our lives! I'm beyond excited.... =)

Ah yiss. Will be there with the sweetest foxmom evrawr, arcaeni 💚

From Thursday - Monday, staying at the Omni. Hope to see some friendly faces! ^^'

I might do one of those silly convention questionnaires if I see someone post one. :B

I'm not one to make much ado over such things, but I figured with reaching 1,000 viewers I'd give mention to some very talented artists I've commissioned that also happen to not get nearly the amount of attention they deserve. I wanted to make the list short (4-5 people), but... well. Not so easy. :)


 shironya A sweet Finnish cat/goat that does superb, clean work that is almost always open for commissions. I almost always recommend them to other people for their Telegram stickers. :)


 teumes One of but many incredibly talented artists that simply do not get nearly the amount of attention that they deserve. Their incredibly nuanced and soft painting style...? I couldn't have trusted anyone else to draw a babu Inkh just recently hatched from his eggy last year. :)


 rysonanthrodog A cute and friendly paw-loving fur, their prices simply do not fit the astounding work that they do. Look out for when they open for fursuit commissions (Soon™). They draw good femboys, too. :3


 rrrax One of two or three people I can say I've never had a better experience with commissioning-wise, they gave me so many WIP updates...! And when they were almost finished, they actually redid the entire drawing (of their own volition!) because they had a better vision for the overall piece ;w; Still gotta commission a non-cartoony Inkh from them, hehe... check out that beautiful derg in their featured submission! Mesmerizing. :>


 paperdemon More crazy talent from Mother Russia. They graciously let me commission them even though dragons aren't their cup of tea. ;) Their work is extremely enjoyable.


 pgm300 I can easily see this artist becoming much more popular down the road... after all, who doesn't like kemono arts? :3 Their work ethic is extremely tight (perhaps too much with overworking themselves); case in point they literally finished my commission within hours after I messaged them. They work mostly with military themes and gun designs, but as I discovered they are good outside of that as well.


 rileysockfoxy Likes paws. Draws well. Draws paws well. They are also extremely affable, there aren't many artists I've worked with where we ended up having conversations about things other than the commission itself. :) Despite the quality of their work their prices remain low... a prime target for tips!! >:D


 godzi15 Ha, actually this is someone I have NOT commissioned but would several times over in a heartbeat if I could. Their work is jawdroppingly exquisite in spite of how little views they get on FA. I've only seen them draw feral dragons, which is fine because they are REALLY. AMAZING. AT. IT.


 dr.eisenhauer Friendly German shark that draws... well, many things although they have a propensity for vehicles (tanks, planes, ships etc.) design... and apparently cute gifs of cute tanks. ;> They draw anthros, too, of course! Heckin' cheap commission prices. :P


 everaven Dino-loving dino dame drawing darling, uh... dragons? Although she mostly draws things with scales (and sometimes scaly things that also happen to have feathers as well!), she can also draw fluff.


...that's all I have the time for XD If posting this journal results in even one of these artists getting any kind of additional business, I'll consider it worth it. (=
