I alter my fursona every time I undergo a permanent change like when I grew a beard so did my fursona. Today I got glasses (everything looks weird and readable) but as its now a permanent change to me my fursona will have one too. So get ready for experimenting with glasses on me. Totally unsure how to do them as of yet if anyone reading has suggestions (if anyone actually reads this in general haha) I'd appreciate it.

Why am I still here? A question i often ask myself, usually i have a distinct answer. "I'm here because I'm a furry" or "I'm here to show off my artwork." However its getting harder and harder to answer that question with any degree of honesty.
Locally today i have been ejected from my position as host of the local furmeets, something i have attributed as a major part of my standing in the fandom. Rhis happened essentially because i called people out on their ballshit and and pretend to like people that i simply dont. No one respects the doormat after all.
Whether you (actually fooling myself into thinking someone will even read this) think how i acted was right or not isn't relivent at this point as the dye is already cast. The Norfolk furs made a group behind my back and started organising a meet with the express purpose of making one away from me. I'm not in the habit of staying were I'm obviously loathed and unwanted so I won't ve back.
That got me thinking honestly. Can i still a furry at all? I know the fandom is part of you whether people like you or not but my partner will probably be hosting the meets without me so I can't in all honesty force him to another meet monthly. Which means my fursuit will go unseen. I also cannot claim any fame from my artwork like some furs... I also refuse to be a fur who's only presence is online that's just not me

So why am I still here?
I honestly don't know anymore...

In order to get celebi i need to add at least 3 new friends so feel free to add me on pokemon go ^.=.^

This summer I have the chance to meet my partner's uncle. First time in our over seven year relationship. Initially excited to see them and be going to wales the first time in my life my partner's family tells me through my partner that they "kindly suggest" i don't wear my collar as it may cause a 'misunderstanding'. My partner's family aren't too happy with 'the gay thing' they haven't started brandishing pitchforks and flaming touches but this request oozes anti gay bigotry.
People who know me well know I've always got it on and dont like taking it off.
Here's the question however is the "i am who i am" soapbox worth it? I want my partner's family to like me but i dont feel I should change and pretend to be someone or something I'm not. I'm the guy with the beard and the collar cant they like me as I am? Or is it a simple case 'time and place" and i should just swallow my pride and take it off so i dont knowingly cause issues?

I remember reading A.S.B online almost seven years ago and knew right then I wanted to own a copy myself. Over the seven years I've come close a few times but unless I'm willing to only own half and make do with the middle issues as a PDF or pay over $1000 for the collection which is out of print I'm out of luck.

There are bound to be a few of you out there who have been in the fandom longer than me, if anyone owns and doesn't want their ASB collection and is willing to sell them to me drop me a note, you'd make a relatively young dragon very happy and end a seven year quest.

After having my first successful comission I was wondering should I officially start offering commissions? If so what sort of prices would people feel is applicable for my artwork?

1am in UK land and someone has actually asked me to draw them some art in exchange for money! My first paid commission! Didn't think my art was good enough for people to actually pay for it but I'm so glad someone has thought it is. It's a four person commission so not an easy one for my first. I really hope I dont disappoint my first paid customer!

Found that I had a few old characters which I created almost five years ago. Been thinking maybe I should put a few of them to use like see how I've improved my art work in that time frame.

It's 4am in UK land and once again I have been rudely awakened by what is been a weekly nightmare.
The nightmare is always different but one component is the same. My mother. In some way shape or form the dreams always have her there. Sometimes I wake up crying or with the fear and dread akin to a tradional nightmare.
Tonight's nightmare didn't start out bad. Just your usual unconnected fluff, hearing Moratorium by the band MAN WITH A MISSION while walking down a familiar Street, accidently insulting a friend only to be forgiven and carried away for make up "adult playtime" and be gone for a month.
Then a dark turn. Me the same friend from earlier and a woman I didn't know but felt fine with went to an abandoned house to 'play' she keeps the door open by putting the thin part of a Stiletto shoe into the bottem hinges (I only mention it because the dream called attention to it) Then as they undress in the room I hear a noise of movement and see myself in the corridor of my mother's old house familiar paint testing swotches on the walls then I hear my mother like the walls retelling a memory. And my older brother appears wearing very little. I cautiously ask "what are you doing here? Mums been dead for over a year." and he starts running around yelling "I live here now!" then the noises of my mother get louder as I hear heavy breathing and the voice of my mother and my brother scream at me as I rush into the room with my friends. They have vanished and the shoe has been removed trapping me inside as the screaming gets colder and the yelling and voices destort the atmosphere gets very oppressive I couldn't take it.
And thats when I woke up crying.....
Been having these dreams for well over a year now and have failed in every attempt to understand why they won't stop. I accept everything I cannot change about her passing and everying I retroactively feel I could of done but yet these dreams seem to taunt me with her memory or scare with her likeness and it's starting to get to me.

Gather round all children of furr-ed tail and claw,
To hear a tale of the sun's rotation,
That's something of a natural law.

To the "ones who know" of the spirits gift,
As days grow cold and nights grow long.
A time called Yule where the moon doth lift,
And the sun retreats from nature's song.

But why store trees? Decorated and evergreen?
A witch may hold them for the spark,
So nature's light may again be seen.
After the coldest month of dark.

And presents? What purpose do they hold?
On the shortest day when all lights depart.
Humans also feel the cold,
We exchange gifts to warm the heart.

So remember:
During the darkest of days when the lights all go out.
We do not cry and do not pout.
We find the light from deep within and share it with our friends and kin.

These are all the traditions of this time of year,
A teaching that I say you hold.
Give a gift to the ones you hold dear,
And survive this time of dark and cold.

Welcome welcome welcome. Lads and lasses, Lords and ladies, men and women of the plains. Your Sharmaic dragon (and yes I am a real sharman) is here to spin the wheel and weave a tale. Relax and calm your hearts, they'll need their strength for the hours to come. For the winds are whispering of names long forgotten, the carts of rag and bone neigh. Sleepless are the lost.
Today, today the sacred vail that separates death and us wains thin and have they the will to do so the passed will become the now and the lost will be the found. Your protection? To stop a haunting of wandering ghoals as they pass by your living homes, trick the ghosties a shrieking face of lighted fruit. They will think your room is taken. No jest.
So remember all who read the tales I drip that between the pumpkins with faces so lorn and the tomes of lore to fear and quicken that the day of Samhain or Halloween to modern furs is more than just a day of frolicking and folly. And be kind to our departed as the pass us by. Share your candy.

Say hello to a friend of mine a cute new puppy called Az. He just made an FA and isn't sure who to keep an eye on. Why not help him adjust to the world of fur ^.=.^

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17000109/ <--- this is a cool raffle

For furs who don't know it's my birthday today, my 22nd and its not as happy as I'd hoped. My only real family member, my mother died less than a month ago and I'd normally spend all special occasions with her.
What do you do with yourself when a person who helped make the yearly " big day" important is no longer there to celebrate with.
I kinda feel at a bit of a loss.

Over the past few months I got a few drawing requests (7 to be accurate) and I haven't put them up yet and for that I'm sorry. But I promise all the 7 furs I am drawing you over my xmas brake and you shall see your pics after xmas >.=.< sorry I've taken my sweet time drawing them

due to lack of interest I've cancelled my first art raffle v.=.v hope next time to get willing participants sorry to the two furs who did enter though
