Moving accounts
Posted 3 years agoSo, I have never been very active on this account, as I had to deal with creative art block for the longuest time and because doing commissions and NSFW stuff took most of the time I could dedicate to drawing.
That hasn't changed much, but I really, really want to tell some stories I have in mind. Or that could develop there anyway. Art block isn't an actual thing I suffer from: just the belief what I got is not enough, not worth the effort, always something better to be done, more useful, more important. It's just stories in your head, just a child habit, silly dreams, absent-mindness, drawing on the margins. If no money is attached to it, if it doesn't count as a job, what worth does it have?
It used to be my heart, is what it is. Something so scribbled down it's impossible to read.
Conditions are not reunited so that I can achieve a project like a comic, like what I dream of. And perhaps I'm scared that, if I make that into a wish, if I make that into a statement, then it will be failed once and for all. Create an empty gallery, gathering dust, no time. I get disgusted at the pain, at the futility of having one precious thing and letting it rot, because "myself" isn't something I believed in to begin with.
But I'm going to do it anyway, I owe it to the child, to have a space that's just for me. And it's alright if it's just me there.
But yeah, if you want to follow me there, I chose a new artist name:
https://www.furaffinity.net/user/oxiq/
My first, main project is with anthro characters, so I feel it belongs here. Still, I'm not an anthro artist, and on other accounts like Twitter and such, I would like to create other kind of content. Honestly, I would create any kind of characters, draw anything, as long as I can claim them as mine, and I can play some story, invent a world a plot... I'm not even good at it by lack of practice - writing story or worldbuilding is so, so hard. But, it's all I ever wanted.
We'll see what happens. Hopefully, something nice.

Issues with my NSFW account
Posted 9 years agoI have some issues recovering a new password with my NSFW account Caldalera. The mail adress connected to this account doesn't work anymore
I send an email to sort this issue but I don't know when I can connect again... I must not be the only one with problems :/
For those awaiting for commissions who see this, I will try to keep you informed with this account...

January challenge! Funny cartoon situations (15 slots)
Posted 10 years agoThis is the same journal that was on my NSFW account so I apologize for those who follow me on both ;3;
Hello guys! First I want to say I'm really great lately, it's worth saying :D I seem to be finding a way to manage my diverse responsibilities and most of all, keep track of what is really important to me in life and art. Basically it's listening to oneself and doing what you love and what matters to you, but aaarh you know it's not that simple to achieve x')
Anyway, I want to do another "kind of" Iron artist thing, even if it's not really one because if people don't take the slots, I will not draw the subjects... Why? Because I'm a busy guy haha I don't lack occasions to draw interesting stuff. So I thought of a way to use this challenge to improve myself and have fun!
One of my goals is to progress to a more cartoon style, that could possibly be animated. I love how cartoon artists use simple shapes to express powerful ideas, how expressive their characters are, and that amazing skill they have to understand volumes! I also am a bit tired of NSFW stuff (even if I would sometimes want to do more... with my own chars ;D), not that I don't like to do it but you know, I don't want to draw only this all day.
So for this challenge I propose you something original, funny situations with one character at a time. I will concentrate on "acting", the expressiveness of posing and facial expressions. I am inspired by stuff like disney, pixar character design, Nicolas Marlet style... The goal would be to draw pictures that would make you go "aaw" or "eew" depending on the subject xp
Technically it will be lineart with flat colors, no shading. I will try to copy anime/cartoon styles so it looks cool. And there will often be other elements to interact with since these are little scenes with something happening. No full background rendered but some simple scenery around the character!
I will begin with 15 days because I don't want to be overwhelmed by this work, and to keep some ideas for later... I would like to propose this kind of challenge from time to time! It's a good training, it's stuff I want to draw, and your characters are a great challenge and inspiration! It's ok if you don't want one, I will open commissions later if you want NSFW. Aaand there'll be more Ych auctions. And neat stuff ;)
I will draw example of rendering later. It will be 20$ a slot. I won't cry if no-one take one. I promise xD
Your character is...
01/01 : eating pickles from a bowl
01/02 : fighting for HONOR!! With a mighty sword!
01/03 : diving into mud (mud bath)
01/04 : picking flowers
01/05 : talking to a cuddly toy or a stuffed animal
01/06 : eating candies
01/07 : riding a bike in the sunset. Wind in hair is an option.
01/08 : licking their paw
01/09 : being drunk and exuberant
01/10 : picking berries
01/11 : picking their nose
01/12 : stealing honey (with bees bonus)
01/13 : being pissed off by a butterflied that fall in love with their nose
01/14 : in bed with fever and a pile of ice
01/15 : eating pizza in a messy way
Maaaaaybe I'll draw some even if no-one takes it... I mean, they look like so much fun *0*

Shit is real...
Posted 10 years agoSo, as I stated on my other account some time ago, I was victim of a fraud. I was stupid and intimidated, so I wasn't able to stand up when I should have.
The card was blocked just after payment and there were no news in more than a week so I was beginning to think it was ok... The note fell today.
I'm now in debt of 1830€. Well, 1832,60.
With my lack of revenue this is really bad... I was already struggling to make ends meet and give chance to my situation to become better. I don't want to be a charge for my parents anymore, I would like to live decently.
I am considering taking a second side job to help me but it will let me less time and energy to do art. I'm unsure of what to do. This is the time when I needed to make a break, to think and consider my options. I wanted to work my basis, take classes to get my art at another level, and focus more on what I want to do, which is narrative art, because I'm at my best when I do it, and I keep avoiding it like it is something bad and irresponsible. I need so much to create my characters and stories, I've always wanted to do it, and I stopped trying when I started learning art.
Anyway, I want to work. If you like what I do, you can consider taking me a commission. I opened it on my other account with not much success, I'm going to report it here because I like to do SFW too :
Sketches slots : (quick sketches - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18258074/ - or sketches - NSFWhttp://www.furaffinity.net/view/18258182/-)
Slot 1 : -
Ceridwen (sketch)
Slot 2 : -
Slot 3 : -
Slot 4 : -
Slot 5 : -
Illustration slots : (cell-shading or painted)
Slot 1 : -
Slot 2 : -
Slot 3 : -
As you can see, there is lot of room here!
I will close commissions the 29/11 and open it again when I am done with all my work.

About the attacks on Paris
Posted 10 years agoI wrote this yesterday morning. I felt the need to express myself... My English is floppy so you can correct me...
I was in Paris last week. I feel sick in front of such barbarism. I think - I hope - that all my closed ones and their families are ok. A friend of mine lost someone. We feel shock and sadness and we don't know what to do.
But looking at the horror will not make it disappear. I think we try to understand something that is beyond what we could imagine. We try to make it real and bearable in some way that would make some logic out of it.
Numbers, measures, consequences... We try to find a way to react. We are in shock.
I think of the people I met in Syria. I think of my friends in Egypt, of this country where I learned to be free, to be happy and to trust people. I think of the people around the world who have to deal with the risk of being arbitrary killed by fanatics everyday, because they do not dress the good way, because they love differently, because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time... I think of the countries teared by war between a tyrant and extremists... of the people in between. I think of Syria, of what we didn't do, what we let happen.
Today in France we learn the taste of blood, the irrationality and the absurdity of violence. We all feel shock and sadness but we cannot let our vision get blurred by tears. We have to be brave, to go on with our lives because looking at the news every minute will not make things better, for us or for them.
After the tragedy of the 12-11, the United States declared a war on terrorism that lit the flames we face today. The invasion of Iraq, then the departure that let the power in the hands of a Shiite minority, alimented the rising of Daesh/Isis, giving it its leaders, people familiar with oppression, oil contraband and terror. We let things rot and people die, genocides happen, chemical weapons being used against civilians... We are at war with terrorism, with fanaticism. We are at war with Daesh and we cannot let them have what they want : to divide us, to make fear stop us from acting when crimes are committed against Humanity, and to put hate in your heart against those who are the true victim of their barbarism : the Muslims, the Arabs, and all the minorities of the territories they conquered.

I am so changeable ~
Posted 10 years agoWell prices were to high and the wait for getting your commissions too long. So actually I think it's better to close it and concentrate on personal art for now :)
I've got my new tablet!
Posted 10 years agoOk, I cannot buy food but dang! This new tablet is so cool. The former (who stopped working last week) was a six year old intuos 3 medium... And now I have a big intuos 5 o_o I didn't think the difference would be so important in my drawing quality. It's a lot more comfortable to use and I get cleaner sketches very quickly!
I was upset against my inability to make nice looking sketches... maybe it was actually the hardware which didn't help...
So in someway this bad luck is good ^^ I would never have buy this model if I had any other choice... But now I'm glad to have a nice tool to draw!
Commissions will stay open a long time in case someone want one, that would help me repay the price and survive. It's here for informations : http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7050642/ I know the conditions are not the best ever but hey, you would get my eternal gratitude xp
(it can be NSFW, I'll just post it on my other account)

An introduction (rumbling about motivation and stuff)
Posted 10 years agoHello there! This is my first journal on this account so I may as well write an introduction...
Thank you for the watchs, favs, comments, it is a great support to me as an artist. It keeps me motivated, warm and fuzzy in the heart!
This is my SFW account but it is a bit more than that ; it is where I will post more personal art. I like drawing pr0n, I like working on video games, but there is something else I like above all : create stories and characters, and my dream was to make them live with drawings. Making games, learning how to draw : it takes time, effort, and I ended drawing less and less my own characters and universes.
It's hard to draw something for yourself only, not excepting any reward or attention for it. Well, it is for me. It feels a bit selfish, and frightening! But in the other hand, if you like something I did, some of the characters I crafted with love, I will care, deeply. So yeah, this is what this account is about. Forcing myself to make what I really want but do not dare to do!
Updates may be rare depending on my schedule and work, and I will also post fanart when it seems related enough to the furry fandom. Doing fanart is another of my projects, and if you are interested in that you will find more on my tumblr and deviant art :
http://eolkh.tumblr.com/
http://eolkh.deviantart.com/
You will find drawings of my fursona Swift, of my rp characters (my charr from gw2 mainly), and of a personal universe I want to develop with a friend. I may make adoptables and some kind of auctions occasionally.
Welcome to my gallery, and feel free to chat! :)
