Hi everyone, long time no update :P

I've been so busy with life stuff this past year, wow. My fiancee (oh yeah that happened too!) and I are gearing up to buy a house and we're making some improvements on the inside to make ourselves a comfortable studio space to make art and fursuits in. We're excitedly planning on purchasing some budgies later in the year (any advice on caring for them would be great, I'm doing my research but nothing's better than talking to someone with first-hand experience ^.^)

I am gearing up to go to my first convention as a dealer at IttyBittyFurCon and I am nervous, but I think I'm going to have great things to offer and I am excited to meet some of you there <3

I am taking all kinds of commissions to help pay for my table and hotel costs, since we are probably going to be putting our revenue from IBFC straight into renovations ;u; I would really appreciate you taking a look at my commissions tab, I have a little something for every budget, and am very open to negotiating any kind of commission idea you may have that isn't listed. Just a few rules, I am ok with NSFW but anything that begins to enter the porn category must stay pretty tame. I also prefer payment upfront, via paypal. Otherwise, yeah! Thanks for taking a look, the turnaround for art pieces should be within 2 and a half weeks.

Just note me with ideas, I'll post a journal stating if I've filled up on work and can't take any more. Traditional work I can take to IBFC for no cost and hand it to you there!

Had so much fun meeting so many Tucson furs and bowling tonight! Can't wait to attend more local events, what a blast :D Let me know if you saw me there, I'd love to watch you guys and talk more!

Hey everyone!

I think it's pertinent that I also let everyone know where else I can be found on the internet should anything happen here or to any other site :)

Deviantart KibitzerMaxim (This has also non-furry art... school art..old art :P)
Weasyl KibitzerMaxim
Tumblr KibitzersStuff (I reblog friend art here too)
Twitter KibitzerMaxim (For this one, I may post political things, musings, and news as well as art, just in case you really don't care for that other stuff) I only just made this account so there's nothing on it yet!
Instagram KibitzerMaxim (Brand new... still figuring things out)
I also have a furrynetwork, but since it's under maintenance I can't link it - Same username as here though (Also brand new, still figuring it out XP)

I think....that's all...

It's also more or less in order of what I give the most attention (right now furaffinity is most but I may change that)

In other news... I am open for commissions! Of all types :) Give it a look please!

I also do traditional work, and whatever else you can think up :)

Thanks!

Hi doods

My desktop pooped out on me yesterday. It wouldn't turn on, it was very strange. After checking to see that there was nothing wrong with the power, I took the thing apart to find that the motherboard had some popped capacitors. If the dang things weren't so ridiculously strongly soldered on there, it wouldn't have been a problem to replace them, and I had extra capacitors, but alas I fear in my attempt to fix it I may have burned parts of it instead. That being said, I guess it helped give me the excuse to begin building the computer I want (This thing was old and had been handed down through different people several times)

So I'm ordering a new motherboard and cpu, which came at a bad time really because I'm at a rough time of the year where I don't have spending money, but in the end I think it would be cheaper to get good computer parts that I'll have for a long time rather than cheap ones that I know I will want to replace soon anyways.


SO anyways that explains my non-presence yesterday.
BUT now I'm borrowing a laptop that will do the trick with the art that I need to produce, so the delay is over and I will be posting some owed art shortly :)

Heyyyy guys :>

I'm going to be closing up the head/bust sale on Friday, around 11:59pm (as in, all of Friday GMT is still good to go)

Here's some that I've produced thus far-
12

That being said, I am open for all commissions! Please take a look at my commissions page if you are interested, I have a very wide array of commission types and prices :)

Thanks!

Just 15$! That's about 50% off what I normally charge!! They'll never be this cheap again!

School has started up for me again and I could really use some extra caysh for eating!

I'm taking about as many as I feel I can finish in a week or so, so it'll be a fast turnaround! :)

Examples:

1 2 3

They will be colored, shaded and may have some embellishing details.

Will do Furries, any species, and Hooomans :)

15$ Headbusts! (Maybe a slight shoulder oh my) (I may ask for an extra dollar or two for a very complicated design)
Please be ready to pay!

I do require payment up front, please wait for me to send you an invoice. Paypal only!


To nab one, comment below or send me a note! :)

I just want to say thank you so very much to those of you who sent me something from my holiday wishlist, it truly meant a lot to me! ^^
I hope everyone had a good holiday season :)

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and am focusing much more on my illustrative art. The holidays always leave me strapped for cash, so I made a few German Shepherd adoptables, I would love for everyone to give them a look even if you have no plans on bidding ^^
Set 1 Set 2

Thank you all for following me!

-Kibitzer

My fall semester is finally over, so I can get back to some art!!! If I owe you something, it will be coming soon, sorry for the wait!

My Christmas List is still up, I am making sketches (or more detailed art for larger gifts) to anyone that sends me something <3

Here's the link: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7210769/

Included are other lists I've found, feel free to comment and link your list for me to add to my page ^^

I hope everyone is having a good holiday season :)

-Kibitzer

I saw these floating around and I thought it was a nice idea! Feel free to link your journal list below and I will add yours to this journal too ^^ I stole this from

~Step 1~
Make a post in your journal containing your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple to really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

If you wish for real-life things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where folks could get in touch with you.

________________________________________


~Step 2~
Surf around other lists to see who has posted their list. If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream for free--do it. You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

_______________________________________________________


~Step 3~
The List

1. Pokemon cards! Old or new! Or plushies too
2. Art supplies! Including old stuff you don't think you're ever going to touch again or partly used
3. Scraps of fursuit/sewing/crafting/doll making related things
4. Gift art!?!! I love all gift art given to me <3 We could do a trade!
5. Any art/prints/buttons/stickers/magnets furcon swag that you don't care to have
6. Scarves! I always need a good scarf :> If it's furry related- all the better.
7 Tbh basically anything furry. Sfw though please ^^
8. Have you seen those beanie baby boos? Jeebus http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n.....anie+baby+boos
any and all please! I love the husky/fox/kitties/birds the most though
9. Seriously I'd be so happy with some gift art <3 Any of my characters,
10. Did I mention gift art? :>

I'm going to be having some colorable templates for sale soon! I'm very excited to debut this~ I'm starting with generic male Wolf and Fox. I also am thinking about making a deer, because I love them and they seem a bit underrepresented. But if these continue to go well then I will definitely be holding some polls and make templates according to people's interests! They will require a program such as photoshop, sai or gimp to use, and will come with some detailed instructions.

NSFW Warning

I just want to put it out there that I will be posting some adult pieces in the future, I realize that my front page states that I am generally a clean artist and so I don't want to blindside some followers who would rather not see anything of that sort. I will flag everything that is inappropriate, so if you do have sfw settings in place then you won't have to see any of it ^^ Mostly it will be more artistic nudes... but possibly more than that, I'm not sure yet.

This includes the templates, there will be a sfw and a nsfw version of each species/gender.

Thanks for reading!

It was super fun, but man I'm tired.
I got some sweet swag from Hyena Agenda, got some DanjiIsthmus art, and some stuff from DragonClaw Creations as well, they do some awesome embroidery stuff. Spent a lot, there was so much awesome stuff to choose from. I ran around in Kibitzer mostly, which is always a blast. The rave was absolutely dead the first night, which was kinda sad but the second night really made up for it. <3 Danced with lots of furs. Pulled off a cartwheel in-suit, but now I'm all sore from partying because I channel the soul of an old geezer. The con was set up muuuuuuuccchhhh nicer this year (I never found the headless lounge last year at staircon 2014) It was all more central and flowed much more nicely, for suiters and otherwise.

Anyways, yeah. It was a good con <3

I'll be getting back to those inktobers soon :)

Hi people!
I need to get my butt doodling more, so I'm offering free sketches! Depending on how many requests I get I may or may not choose your request (but I tend not to get many so your chances are high :P) If I do end up getting a lot I'll probably choose based on designs I am more or less comfortable drawing. So for example I'm not as comfy drawing lizards or dragons (skillwise) but I am super comfy drawing dogs/foxes canines cats etc. So you're probably more likely to be chosen if you have a more common species. I draw humans too!

These are going to be super simple things, and the detail may vary by each one, just saying. But it is all free!

These will all be done before November, and will probably be posted in batches and not individually, just fyi if you're looking out for yours :>

Just send me a link to a reference (sfw please, I may be doing these in public :P)

If you feel so inclined, I would love a doodle back of any one of my chars, which I can link you to :) But that's not at all required.

Thanks guys, you are all awesome!

is in a bit of a rough spot and is offering commissions (of very varying prices for those without a lot of money!) They have really gorgeous art, including full painting renditions and traditional as well as digital work. I also think they deserve more watchers in general :> And maybe you will see something you like in their gallery. Anyways! Check them out for pretty art ^^

Hey peoples I'm taking trades!

These will be simple no-big-deal things, very quick on my end. I'm practicing watercolor and I'd like some subjects. But hey I'd like to get something back too! I'll probably spend no more than 3 hours (probably not even that) on some character busts. I want to draw your characters! Almost for free! All I want in return is a doodle of one of my characters! I don't care what skill level you have, this can be an excuse to make you practice- I don't care if you think you really suck or have never picked up a pencil to draw in your life x) I just want you to spend some time on it! So please don't send me a stick figure doge :P Or else I'll send you the same thing. Just an hour drawing or so. I'm not asking for a masterpiece by any means!

I can't take on a bunch at a time, or else I'll never get them done in a reasonable amount of time, so I'm thinking 5 for now, see how that goes, and probably take more later once I'm done.

Don't bother sending me a character description of their personality or anything. These are basically freebies so I'm only needing their pretty pictures, I'm not going to worry too much about getting their designs/markings or personality completely perfectly.

Only five slots! First five people who ask for it get it! These are going to be traditional works, if you want your piece mailed to you it will be 7$ (within the US) for postage and my precious precious time. These will be SMALL (just a few inches tall and wide)

I'll send you your doodle once I finish/once you've sent me my pretty picture!

Here are the characters I'd like to see of mine! Take your pick.

Keith
Wren
Chai
Tamber (the top one)
Colby (on the left, right is Keith)

Upon commissioning me you will be held to everything stated below! Please read carefully!

Payment

All prices listed are USD. I take Personal Checks, Cashier's Checks and Paypal at any time, unless otherwise specified. If your commission is under 50$ I will also take a money order from the POST OFFICE only! I can take Square as a last resort. My favorite method of payment is a Cashier's Check for anything above 50$, and Paypal for anything below 50$, but this is not a requirement.

I prefer to send you an invoice through Paypal and Square. It helps me keep everything organized. :) So please wait for me to send you an invoice.

Please be ready to pay for your commission within ONE (1) week of placing your order. I will not begin working on your commission until I have received at least 30% of the full payment for any order at or above 100$, but anything under 100$ I will not break into smaller payments. It becomes a serious mess when multiple people pay in different increments for small orders. I may or may not be lenient on this issue. Assume I will not be! If it takes you more than 2 weeks to pay, you will be dropped unless otherwise specified. Just wait for the next time I am open for commissions to nab another if this happens to you.

Refund

If I have not begun any work on your commission, you will receive a full refund (3rd Party fees may be present for Paypal and Square which I have no control over!) I will only give a partial refund for commissions which have been started. The amount refunded depends entirely on how much work has been done. So PLEASE be sure that you are entirely committed to your commission before commissioning me!

Prices and Extra Fees

Prices listed under the Commissions tab are considered starting prices and are subject to change. An additional fee may be added to these prices for, but not limited to, any of these features-

-Wings
-Complicated Designs (Including Coloration or Markings)
-Rush Fee
-Multiple Edits (I will fix mistakes to a character design free of charge, and will allow 3 edits for free, but if I start having to repeatedly alter the composition or something big I will have to ask for an additional fee)

Extra Information

Please have your reference available immediately. Prices will be based on the design shown- so if there are features missing from your reference (such as wings or complicated markings) which are described later, AFTER I have given a quote, then I may ask for an additional fee. If you do not have a reference, please describe your commission subject in as much detail as you want me to consider AFTER you have secured a spot and I have told you that I will be working with you. If you are unsure what you would like to commission, please try to have it sorted out within a few days.

If I am helping you create your character for the first time, then please be easily available to contact so that I can make your character as perfect as possible. In this case, we can negotiate tons of edits in order to make your commission as perfect as possible.

I reserve the right to cancel a commission at any time for any reason, in which case I will give a full refund. Please note that, at this time, I am not taking ANY nsfw/adult themed kink/fetish related work unless otherwise specifically stated elsewhere. I do draw mature content though, such as nudes/violence that is NOT gory/heavy subject matter. I also will NEVER take a commission that is specifically hateful or promoted slander towards an individual or group.

I am the SINGULAR owner of all of my work! I reserve the right to promote my work with your commission, to sell your commission as a print, or to use the image that I create for my own purposes. For legal purposes, I only own the IMAGE of your character that I specifically create. Your character belongs to you, and I will never claim ownership of the character itself.

The Terms of Service is subject to change at any time!

Thank you!

Hey everyone!

I've slowly been getting to updating all of my commission information, which is located under the nifty commission info tab. If something isn't there that you would like to see, let me know! I'm certainly not limited to what's listed :)

Thanks!

Sorry guys I'm going to be crossposting a lot of stuff in succession from (my fursuit making account) ....so.. I'm gonna flood your box a little...
