Winter is Here...
Posted 7 years agoI actually like the winter season very much, so that wasn't meant to be ominous of some apocalyptic threat to us all. I swear.
Anyhow, my first semester at the new school went very well, and I'm looking forward to actually taking the classes I want to explore, but sadly, they're not offered until the spring. The silver lining is that I can work more and save up money in the meantime. So we'll have to see.
Hope everyone's doing good, and in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight!
Wrong movie.
What I mean is, have an awesome holiday, and be excellent to each other.
'Till next time.

Catharsis
Posted 8 years agoIt’s nice to get rid of names of the people you barely talk to off of social lists, it reminds you of who truly cares, and those who just look the other way with happier hearts.
It truly is a lovely thing.

I'm Done Pretending
Posted 8 years agoRant incoming, skip to the real news at the end if you wish. Not really trying to attack anyone here, just venting.
So, without mentioning names, a certain mammal I'm acquainted with has, over time, made it abundantly clear to me that there are only two ways to matter in this fandom- to get any sort of sense of belonging- is to act like your character or fursona is the most exotic, handsome, sexy, and above all, unique figure you've ever seen, and to build up a colossal amount of worthless gravitas to make them seem more important to watchers or other artists. Whether this is through cheesy stories, commissions, or whatever you prefer, you cultivate meaningless fame for your character and by extension, yourself, and through your cloying charisma, people will flock to you and fawn over all the art you commission, even if it didn't come from your own hand. The other way is to be talented with drawing, especially enough to draw in fans with curvaceous ladies, and to be so precise with every sex scene and internal orgasm until the end of your humanity. Now don't mistake me, I'm not saying being talented is a bad thing, in fact I admire it. I genuinely do have respect for every artist or writer that cuts their teeth with all that they do, and as such, they've earned all their watchers without question. What I can't stand, however, is when certain people get their fame by literally spending money on commissions, over and over, with the same subject matter, the same pandering, the same condescension. They stare down at the plebian fans from their ivory pedestals, acting like they're so beautiful and misunderstood. "If only more people knew of my sexy vixen! She has rocking tits and a bubble butt and her hair changes color when she's angry or horny!"
In short, I'm done pretending like I matter based on the work I do for myself, the writing and modeling. Thinking about it now, I'm not sure I can even afford to be in this fandom much longer. I wish I had the confidence that some furs have with their interactions with other artists; that stream of free art from random people and talented artists must get pretty tiresome as you dance around flaunting it to your watchers. You just have to treat every update from your character as some deep and meaningful insight into the world, humanity, and ethos when in reality it's only you saying it through a far more attractive face.
So...the real news here is that I'm heading off to college again, studying something that I've wanted to do for a long time. All of this negativity just begs me to ask myself whether I'm capable of staying on this site, or in this fandom in general. I'm not asking for fame, here, I don't want that in the slightest. I just wonder why all the time I've spent trying to cultivate a sense of identity here hasn't really done anything. Then again, that in itself feels worthless in the long run, since ultimately, it shouldn't matter what others think of you. Just be who you are, and wear that fact with pride.
Maybe I'm just jaded and envious. I shouldn't stay here because I'm envious of others, it should be because I enjoy the beautiful diversity here. The different backgrounds, sexualities, beliefs, I just love how united everyone is by that common love.
*Sigh* Perhaps I'll just start over. Different name, different outlook, different species. Maybe the whole reserved ronin fox should just be kept to myself.
Maybe a wolf dancer who's into leather.

Friend in Need! COMMISSION SIGNAL BOOST
Posted 8 years agoHey all, a close friend of mine, 
linapilchard and her husband are faced with a difficult month of bills, and they're running out of funds fast. To compensate, both are doing a commission drive, or else they'll be without water or electricity. :(

In need of a Reference Sheet
Posted 8 years agoI know this is like tossing an open letter to a crowd of bakers asking how many of them bake cookies, but I've been trying to find an artist that offers references as commissions instead of special orders.
Anyone have any recommendations?

Off to the land of snow and maple syrup!
Posted 8 years agoAs in Canada, in case there was any wonder. I'm going to be staying with a close friend of mine, 
bad-91 , who's been gracious enough to accommodate me during my stay.
Still, I can help but feel like Samwise Gamgee as I look ahead to this trip, for it will be the farthest away from the Shire I've ever been in my life....
What's life without adventure? Plus, the food's gonna be way better anyway.
I'll still be reachable while I'm away, but let's hope this will be what I need to clear my head.
Until next time!

My New Youtube Series!
Posted 8 years agoHey all, hope everyone is doing peachy. I'm really excited to announce that I'm undertaking a new video series, one that's centered on one of my favorite games ever, Dynasty Warriors. ^^
It will essentially be a character focused analysis series, with an emphasis on the stories the make up each character's particular arcs. There will be plenty of guest characters as well, and I've tried to make this welcoming to the uninitiated. Whether you've heard of DW or not, I hope you'll give it a look! :)
The first episode is currently live! Hope you guys enjoy it. ^^
Fight on!

10K Pageviews....*runs for the hills*
Posted 8 years agoGuys and gals, you're seriously shocking me right now. I know in the grand scheme it's just a number on a page, but if I understand it correctly, it's the idea that over ten thousand different people have visited my artwork since I started here. That still boggles my mind at times.
Anyhow, with every ounce of sincerity, thank you. Thank you for stopping by, commenting, favoriting, whatever was done, even during the long times I was absent.
My workflow isn't consistent, but I'm trying to improve and post more renders. I can only hope those that watch me still enjoy them.
To the friends I've met and chatted with, you know who you are, thank you for putting up with my shenanigans.

Why I Design My Female Characters This Way.
Posted 8 years agoI feel like this is something I've long owed not only to myself for clarity, but to all my watchers, friends, acquaintances, anyone that has given my work even a cursory look. After giving this subject a decent level of thought and introspection, I think I've arrived at a reasoning for why I do the things I do. A broad statement, I know, but suffice it to say, I feel like I need to examine my own preferences once in a while when it comes to character design or kinks.
Even so, I must HEAVILY emphasize that my opinions are my own, and if you disagree with them, which I imagine a number of people will, then that's fine! It's not my business, nor theirs, to justify any stance I take based on what I share. I'm only offering this explanation to hopefully answer questions, and ultimately, give myself some much needed time to reflect. Again, if you take issue with my views or preferences, I won't be offended unless you make an effort to do so. We're all kind fluffs in this fandom, at least I hope we are, and we need to have respect for the diversity we strive to embody every day.
With that said...boobs.
Yes, there you go. As many of you no doubt gather from my work, I love modeling and commissioning scenes with very busty ladies, often with proportions that may seem unrealistic to some, or at least, unattainable from a female perspective. All of my girls with the exception of one are all above an E Cup in bust size, have rounded, mature hips, and plump rears to accompany their varying heights. Now the reason for this is nothing special: I like curvy ladies. Always have, always will, and thus my preferences are reflected in certain female characters of mine. But, allow me to elaborate on why.
To me, the center of the female form in which the very essence of femininity resides, is contained the bust. The outward expression of health, sexuality, and the female form is most obvious in breasts, regardless of size or shape. But when breasts reach larger sizes, to me that shows maternal strength, unparalleled sensuality, and the sheer joy of being female. So, switching to my characters here, the fact that they have large breasts and very voluptuous figures always, in my eyes, gives them an aura of good health and strength unique to women. Of course, you could argue that the vagina is just as much a feminine icon, and you're right, but to me that's a sacred part of a girl, not the expression of their sexuality like their breasts.
As an example, my lioness dancer, Shareeda Ghanem, is the most voluptuous of my characters: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16180395/
She's sexual and exotic through and through, always proud of her body, her strength of mind and soul, and her passionate desires. In essence, she's the most raw form of what I love in a woman, their unbridled propensity for love and sensuality in whatever they pursue. That's not to say men aren't able to show these qualities, mind you, I'm only implying that women are innately more skilled in simply being sexual and attractive. While she's not entirely a realistic body shape, she is the heaviest character of mine at 163lbs, and has a bit of a pear shape to her body with a pronounced belly. Again, this is intentional, and meant to show that her sensuality doesn't limit her pride in her curves. Also, I tend to prefer plus sized girls, even if the popular belief is that you must be as skinny as a twig to be considered beautiful.
Alternatively, we have Shiala: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18072389/ Who is my amazonian warrior girl. Again, she's the embodiment of the strength innate to women, the sheer ferocity of a warrior driven by love, honor, and a sense of justice that few could match. Even so, she's more private with her sexuality, and that's an element that I find interesting to explore; the fact that she's inherently very intrigued by her dual feminine and male parts, but hasn't the strength to express it freely. In any writing of her, I don't immediately call attention to her maleness unless it's necessary, but that's simply a reflection of my interest in transgender characters. Granted, I don't know the first thing about how it feels to live with two distinct genders in one body, but in a fantasy setting, I feel like it offers possibilities for character development and sexy scenarios.
As you noticed, both of these women are very well endowed, but I feel that such a quality adds to their character rather than diminishes them. In my opinion, a woman with large breasts, hips, or rump isn't 'misshapen' or 'ugly', as I've already described, and in all honesty, if a character is very attractive but strong in other areas, what's the issue?
Not to diverge, but my opinions on 'sexy' female characters in any medium is pretty much this: If they are strong and can stand on their own, does it matter if they look good doing it?
To clarify, I'm not bothered if some people take issue with how I design my characters. That's their business, and I respect that as long as they don't slander me. But as I explained, these preferences don't just come from nothing, and I hope this at least gives people a clearer idea of why I make renders of busty girls in various situations.
Or maybe I'm just perverted, what do I know? *shrugs*

Another graduation
Posted 8 years agoAs I watch my brother cross the stage, I can only wonder what I've done to further my life in the year since I did the same.
What have I done?
What have I done?
So I saw Born In China...
Posted 8 years ago...and it has proven something quite clearly to me: baby pandas are the absolute, penultimate, unequivocal, final fantastically cutest things on the face of the earth.
I challenge anyone to disagree with me after seeing this film.
In all seriousness though, it was a beautifully photographed intimate look into the lives of four very different families, and without spoiling anything, it doesn't shy away from illustrating the hardships that every species faces in the wilds of China, far removed from civilization. All the same, however, the typical Disney anthropomorphizing isn't heavy this time, but there is plenty of room for humor and candid moments amid the trials each family faces. What I loved the most, however, is how the story weaved traditional Daoist philosophies into the interactions of the animals, as it showed not just how they are viewed in folklore, but how nature is perceived as something far greater than we know.
Also, snow leopard cubs are adorable. Like, I wanna snuggle one all day, but the mother would kill me.

Another Great 3D Artist
Posted 8 years agoMy good friend bad-91 is also a proficient DAZ user like me, though honestly he's far better, and he's still finding his stride here on FA. He makes really kinky renders, as well as plenty of funny ones too, so I highly urge anyone to give him a look!
He's also ingrained on DeviantArt, where the bulk of his work is. http://themegabad1.deviantart.com/a.....rink-675775893

Discussion of certain Kinks
Posted 8 years agoSo...maybe I'm just a rarity when it comes to this, but I just wanted some outside opinion on it regardless. As many of you have hopefully noticed, a lot of my renders are inspired by The Little Mermaid, the Disney interpretation. Specifically the entire sequence where Ariel trades her voice to become human, thereby living out her dream of seeing the surface world. For better or worse, this influences my scenes in many ways, as well as my preferences when it comes to kinks. What I'm curious about though, is if there are others who share this interest. Who else finds her transformation hot and why?
Feel free to leave your thoughts, and I'll try to reply with mine.

I'm still here, and doing better.
Posted 8 years agoJust wanted to throw it out there that I'm not dead, nor do I plan to kill myself, barring the loss of videogames or other such media. :P
Hope everyone is well, and I'll be posting more renders in the coming weeks.

Irony at the end,
Posted 8 years agoIt's so beautiful how much death brings people together. It's just so...ironic.
Go ahead, Fate, beat me closer to my own death. You've done plenty so far by having my aunt pass away.

First Furry Con?
Posted 8 years agoJust throwing this out there, what would you guys reccommend for first-time fur cons?
I'm thinking either Anthrocon or Megaplex, since they'll be the easiest to get to for me. But I've heard that AC isn't a good starting point. *shrugs*
Just wondering.

NEW STREAM SCHEDULE- 2/24/17
Posted 8 years agoLadies and gentlemen, can I get a drum roll please?
*A small kettle drum slowly rolls into view before vanishing offscreen.*
Close enough.
I'm super excited to announce the my new streams will take place on Friday afternoons and in the evening, thanks to some adjustments I've made on my part. The same rules still apply, but just to refresh everyone, these are flash fiction pieces, not short stories. Well, not yet anyway. As a result of these changes, I'll be able to take more slots during each stream, and I sincerely hope people are still interested.
As always, all are welcome to simply stop by and chat. Don't feel obligated to hire me if you aren't able to. Even so, any amount of support will be a huge help, and I'll post every batch of stories I do with proper credit to the commissioners.
The first stream will be tomorrow at around 3:30pm EST. If you want to stop by, simply join the skype group that I'll announce via journal, along with the link doc itself.
For my general rules and preferences, look here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing
The streams will be much more consistent from now on, and I look forward to writing for you all! ^^

For my general rules and preferences, look here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing
The streams will be much more consistent from now on, and I look forward to writing for you all! ^^

Posted 8 years agoBe like the wind that never vanishes
in the summer clouds where spirits run.
Be the warmth of a young fire newly birthed into the universe
that only fades when those around it are ready to live in new light.
Be the heart that heals
when the world has none to offer
and sing to the lonely soul with nary a friend to call by name.
Be the one whose face will never be forgotten
until death may take the sight from our eyes.
You knew not of a greater purpose that filled your life
on this earth where sadness is abundant as the spring flowers.
Yet you gave all that could ever be asked
with no demands in your heart.
Perhaps you saw the blights of this world
with your keen eyes and muzzle
and wept on the inside,
but you could never fathom the kindred soul you carried.
Be like the wind, young child of the land and water
and pass over the endless fields and mountains,
carrying the hearts of those you knew in life.
I'll miss you Nico. I'll always love you like no other dog, and you were my best friend in the loneliest parts of my life. I hope you'll stay with me, even if I can't see you, and know that my heart will never replace you. I swear this to you. You were the best companion I could ever have.
