Hey guys, another 25 images are up on my patreon. I'll also be changing the 10$ option as raffles are not allowed it seems. If you want to see the one page comic intended for halloween, you can find it there, or wait till tomorrow for me to upload it here.

Thank you all for supporting me.

The First few days of October soon. Might be a bit more afk than usual next week.

Uploaded the .zip containing most notable size work from the last year or two, including about 260 macrofur pics, 120 giant male pics and 60 giantess pics. It's set up in it's entirety (albeit with not many options at the moment.) Have fun guys.

You can visit it here.

Multistream starts in an hour I think, doing warmup before then. https://picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=KonoNoko

Life took a bite out of about a week and some of this month. I'm slowly speeding back up into business and will be finishing the patreon page before the months end. I'll also try and wrap some stuff up and [gasp] will be opening commissions sometime next month.

Looking forward to making more size smut with you guys.

HEY KIDS TIRED OF WAITING FOR ME TO UPLOAD STUFF? IS LIFE BRINGING YOU DOWN? ARE SWEET SWEET DRAWINGS OF GIANT THINGS OVERSTEPPING THEIR BOUNDARIES THE ONLY THING THAT GETS YOU OFF? WELL LOOK NO FURTHER, I MADE A PATREON.

I joke. The patreon will be more of a donation thing than anything, and I will be setting up the works for it soon enough. The basic gist is that you'll be getting access to all of my work in a ZIP file and thus not bother following my twitter to get them juicy juicy drawings as soon as they're out.

Leave a comment suggesting what rewards you'd like to see as I will be forming them in the coming week and if you like my work and have a bit of extra cash you don't know what to do, donate!

Thanks in advance.

Hey. I'll be uploading a mix of old and new stuff. I'll be marking old art with [old]. I am also considering patreon although I doubt I'll be putting stuff behind a paywall.

To skip replying the same thing to everyone in the last journal, I'll definitely be uploading on a daily basis here and on my tumblr.

The second musing I've had is to slowly start incorporating some amount of colour to all my sketches (and possibly make an ultra cheap version of colored pics along the way.) I've closed even sketch commissions at this point as I want to clean out my backlog entirely and form a good idea what I want to do next, but I will most probably be opening commissions in the future. Thanks for the patience and feedback!

Should I upload my somewhat older (year+ up to 2 years) old sketches? They are of slightly worse quality so I'm not sure I should spam my gallery with those.

Well, I've said it a billion times but I can finally step it up and do shit.

Expect uploads, expect content, expect a TOS! No wait, the last thing won't benefit anyone but me. CAPITALISM HO.

But yeah, I'll be updating my tumblr daily and I'll see and upload stuff here as well. Hope you like macro porn and stuff.

Heya. I've done with school for now and will be doing all of my IOU's and similar trite in the near future. Expect a lot of updates on my twitter and I'll soon make a routine of updating my FA. I was wondering if people want to see my sketches on here or should I not upload them?

Also, my birthday is on the second. Fun times!

Exam period soon, followed by a week of cramming for the next exam period. If all goes well, I'll be a free man in a month.

I've started work on sketch commissions. A rough estimate is about a sketch or two a day, which means that (with lots of lenience) I'll be done in about two weeks. I'll be contacting people for more information where needed! My Twitter is updated often and is probably the easiest way to contact me.

Thanks for the patience!

Have a neat list of all the commission slots. I had to cut down the full comishes to 1 cause I have unfinished business with those already. I still have a slot or two for sketches open; If anyone thinks I missed them in the sketches, note me!

The trip to hometown is tomorrow, so I should finally be able to start work the day after. Sorry for the delays!

Hey guize. I have a friend over for about 5 days more; After that I'm making my trip back to hometown.

I'll be making a rough timetable/outline of when I'll start work on commissions and keep you well updated. With a bit of luck and planning I'll have everything going smoothly in a month or two and churning out art proper. I estimate I'll be starting serious work in about 7 - 10 days.

Thanks for the patience and I hope you enjoy the final product.

Long story short, dad is out of job and I am 10 days away from losing electricity, so I'm forced to open two full pic commission slots and I will also open 10 sketch commission slots. Full price for Full pic is 100 $ starting, and extra character/complex backgrounds etc. will add to it. Sketches start at 10$. Obviously, it's pay up front and possibly in the next 2-3 days via paypal.

I am able to start work on the full commission pics in circa 3 months. If you aren't ready to wait, please don't apply! The sketches will be done relatively fast.

I'll be picking commissions on what seems like I'd enjoy doing the most (The alternative would be auctioning for it but I'm not sure I could justify the price it could reach), so pitching a summary or general idea of what you want via notes or in the comments would be great!

Give me a day before I decide what I'll be doing!

Thank you.

Was considering sharing my experience as an artist for some time now. This all is just my experience, not the ultimate truth or THE WAY OF ART or whatever. Take it with a grain of salt. I also swear a lot, cause that's how I roll. I also talk about "good" art, but I really don't consider myself at such a level yet.

Instead of talking about the basics of drawing and technique, I'll just point everyone who comes to me about the general knowledge to Andrew Loomis', Glen Vilppus' and the alikes' books. Here's a big thing about "how do I draw? How do I hold a pencil? What pencils do I need?" and similar basic stuff. EVERYONE EVER HAS ANSWERED IT A MILLION TIMES BEFORE. Here's how you can learn the theory and craft behind making illustrative art. Step one: Read a book about it or Google it. That's it. You can probably learn all the "theory" behind art from books. The things artists beforehand figured out are prolly better learned from a book first, because some of them took a lifetime to figure shit out. Perspective wasn't a thing that existed until 1400.

The theory knowledge has nothing to do with the actual practice of draftsmanship. I could go on and on about the wonders of observing, understanding and trying to understand reality for what it is for hours on end, but until you try it it's just inspiring words. And this is where I get to something I don't think many how to learn art books and courses actually talk about.

How finicky your idea of self is. The last two years of art forced me to rethink my life, forced me to accept shit I blocked out of my head and forced me to counseling and drugs for anxiety and depression. And I'm fucking glad for it.

I honestly believe every person wants to be "a good person" at heart. When someone comes to me and says they want to learn to art, I have no doubts that they want to make awesome drawings. But most people kinda stutter when they hear it takes a lot of fucking time and actual heart wrenching effort to achieve, as well as being real with yourself on ways most people who jack off to a funny fetish on the internet while riddled with insecurities can admit. First of all, a lot of you prolly procrastinate. You make an excuse called "I'm lazy." I don't believe a single person here is actually lazy. You've been told by everyone (especially society) that you are because you enjoy your video games and whatever. The moment you call yourself lazy you're basically saying "Well, not much I can do, it's my personal trait that can't be changed."

Second, you call yourself unmotivated. Odds are you're confused. You're conflicted. Possibly shamed. Or maybe you just don't want it enough. It's something you have to get straight with yourself first. You obviously want to play video games for 8 hours a day, but do you want to draw for at least 2 hours a day for starters? This is a really big thing. Unlike video games, art has no instant gratification. It's a process that you need to appreciate in a different way. Compared to learning to art, Dark Souls is casual. I really don't think any game comes even similarly close to how much willpower and trying you need to exert to improve. And I FUCKING love video games. I'm still at times struggling to keep that love in check, and sometimes it gets the better of me. Which brings me to the next point...

It's ok. It's ok that you're new to it. It's ok to be "not good." It's ok to fail. Most of you, myself included up to a point, are suffering from lack of human interaction outside of high school. Most adults understand suffering. Most people understand struggle. They can sometimes judge, but most of the time they don't care. So being "bad" is ok. It's not your fault. IT REALLY FUCKING ISN'T. You couldn't have known before, and you can't change overnight either. What you can do is try. And that's all that matters. Stop blaming and guilting yourself. It's the most unhealthy thing you can do, mentally. And worst of all, it's ok if you don't want something as bad as the next thing. Being average is completely ok as well.

And don't let shitters influence what you think of yourself.

I used to believe "being honest" aka insulting someone for doing "bad" was legitimate. I still think a person should be honest, but calling someones/thinking your own art is shit is pointless. I also find pointing out flaws in a single piece to be almost useless, not cause it hurts but cause the piece is already done. Instead, if someone is struggling with anatomy, point out that they should prolly do more studies of whatever is wrong on the pic, or even better repeatedly wrong in many of their works beforehand. Nobody is at fault for being in the process of getting enough hours in to be "good", and nobody can blame them for it. You can point out that they're stagnating in certain area's of art (the manga trap and the stylistical hell people push themselves into where they pick superficial "pretty" over deep and skillful understanding of manipulating imagery) and that would prolly be a lot more helpful than naming all the anatomy inconsistencies in their pic.

I don't really think drawing in a certain style is bad, but style is just a single element of illustrative, reality based art (Various newer fine art movements are obviously exempt with good reason.) You can refine a style all you want, but you'll either be a repetitive stamp tool that'll break the moment you have to adapt to a different challenge, or even worse, never take on any challenge that isn't in the limited area of what your style allows. Art is a massive collection of various skills that when combined, give a result. Understanding one thing helps the other, be it medium, values, lines, color and light, style or whatever.

It's in your best interest to push yourself out into the uncomfortable unknown and force yourself to do all the stuff you probably wouldn't. It's ok to feel uncomfortable, it's a sign that you're learning. Let's talk time. You want to draw like a decent illustrator working in the industry, for example. You need a shit ton of time and a shitton of dedication. You aren't drawing now to make a Mona Lisa. You're drawing now so you'll be able to make a Mona Lisa in 4-5 years (optimistically.) So everything you do now isn't a failure, it's a step towards great success. It really doesn't matter that you aren't perfect from the start, nobody was, at best they started early. The more you work, the faster and better you'll become (or maybe not. Sometimes art will take you in weird directions.) You can read this for hours. You can read books for days. All of that is useless unless you draw. Unless you do.

Thought is worthless without action.
Action takes precedence.
Thoughtful action is best.

I'll write a journal on how to actually "study" and what you should do "generally." I think it's a lot more important to teach a person how to learn than how to hold a pencil. The learn part will prolly teach them more ways to hold a pencil than anyone would ever show them.

Addition: People seem to compare video games to things like learning to draw or going to the gym or whatever. They aren't. Games are a challenge and reward system. Most skills are a challenge and no reward except maybe a "good job!" from your close one's and imaginary internet points. When drawing there's no clear indication you're doing something right (killed a creep, leveled up, got loot, did damage to an enemy, whatever) and even when you make a single line that's good, the next one can ruin everything entirely. The only real indication is after you've drawn for a month or two daily, and then stacked all your drawings from newest to oldest and then saw just how much you improved. If anyone wants to learn to draw, I urge you to do it for at least a month, so you can actually get to a point where you can decide if you can "learn to draw" or are "talented enough" or whatever. After that, it's your call if you want to quit or continue.

Holy wall of text batman.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5711926/ Go check it out. He's a decent writer and well, it's a free request!

Will keep this, but Weasyl just looks better made and kept overall.

Also find me on tumblr or twitter, that's where I'm actually alive.

kononiko.tumblr.com Go there if you wanna see me dump all the stuff I never post anywhere.

Might as well post it here as well.

Pass is niko Random sizestuff sketches mostly, some IOU's as well.

So, basically, ONE PAY UP FRONT 100$ full pic commission slot is open. First come first serve.

Sadly, it has to be pay up front (personal financial reasons) and the estimate wait time is about 2 months max. Everything else is as normal.

Thanks in advance!

I won't be around the next 4-5 days. Exams are starting soon so there will be no new commissions, and everyone that has things I owe them I would be extremely grateful if they understood and gave me the leeway to take is slower than I usually do.

Thanks for the patience.

Time to clean up contacts.

Due to real life, I've been quite busy not heeding much mind to the internet side of things. Kinda left this profile dead. And after quite a long time of paying no attention to almost any profile I have on the internet, I've decided I'll get back to uploading stuff and actually being slightly active, a bit.

So, expect new stuff, an update on commissions and stuff like that in the upcoming week!
