Hyena Drawing Tips?
Posted 12 years agoSo I've recently been dabbling with drawing hyenas and I can't seem to get it right. Either it looks like a mouse, a leopard, or a dog... There is no happy medium TwT
Anybody have any tips on how to even things out and make a horrible hybrid of disastrous proportions into a wonderful hyena? Feral or Anthro is fine ^^

Whoa....Where am I?
Posted 12 years agoSo somewhere along the way I got lost for a bit there - I can't promise I'll be posting a lot again but at least I am still around. I think *pokes self* Yup still kickin' haha
Just wanted to stop in and let you know I miss you all;
Kodiack (my laptop) is still down due to spontaneous combustion of its power cord (no joke);
UPS and USPS have basically lost my new cord gifted by Genkuro [I'm really not happy about that];
and I am currently working as a KJ [Karaoke DJ] at a local bar -- which is pretty interesting ^^
Travel Plans:
I see no cons or meetups in the near future but I will be traveling back North in late September for Class of '08 5 year reunion. I've been back once since I moved (for a wedding) but otherwise
I'm still in the South. Any Southern furs out there? Because I still know next to no one xD
Much Love,
The Kovi

Oh Noes it Returns!!
Posted 12 years agoEllo and welcome back everyone!
Wait, what do you mean I'm the one who has been missing?
Oh! That's right, I have.
Anyway, I am so glad to be back and able to update now and again.
News!
* Unfortunately I can only post camera phone shots of my work but they will be replaced later on when I get a scanner working with this computer.
* Caught up with past art, and the next image to be uploaded will be one that is most special and dear ^^ <3
* Prior to Christmas, I moved to Mississippi!
* Still looking for work but am almost ready to start doing steady commissions if anyone is interested ^^
Also as a final update for this journal, once I am able to have a reliable internet connection I will be starting back up my featured Watchers posts - why? Because there are still so many watchers who deserve to be seen!! ^^

Watcher Appreciation Week IV ^w^
Posted 13 years ago
Ello and Welcome to Dead-Shdwwolf Kovi's
Watcher Appreciation Event!
Using a random list generator, watcher names have been compiled into a haphazard order so that it is truly fair to all. The list is re-ordered each drawing with previously featured names removed. Any raffles or contests will be posted with their own rules separate from these found here. All links will be to images that are SFW (sorry everyone x.x) but I will post if the artist does NSFW art!
Featured Watchers of Week IV!

A traditional/digital artist, and fursuiter - Demonira has an interesting character and also a wicked sweet talent! There areNSFW and/or suggestive imagesin her gallery (so viewers be warned) but don't let that stop you from jumping in and seeing what her and fellow artists have come up with!
Thank you for support and for adopting and giving a home to the lil guy (Iceblade). Best wishes with all your work!

marfo_the_creeper!
Murrrrrfo! This cuddly German Shepard is a browser of the art but also an experimental artist himself. Not to mention that his character is sooo fun to draw in all of it's adorkable cuteness; there definitely needs to be more derpy Marfo art.
You need to bring more art to FA!! Oh, and Thank you so much for all the inspiration, support, and joy you bring to my life. You've come to mean a great deal to me from taking the time to comment on submissions that I have made - to enjoying the silly chats you endure with the derpy dork that I am. Thank you for stalking! x3
Examples of all the various styles:
Traditional, Digital, and Photomanipulation/Digital editing

A fursuiter from Indiana, Vixstrix can be found goofing around in (I believe) one of two fursuits - Vixstrix or Kane.
Thank you for watching Vix! Hope that you are able to get some more photos of the fursuits and continue having fun. Dream big! ^^
Take a look at all the awesome as it roams around:

Ello everyone, unfortunately I did something stupid and accidentally edited over my week III feature journal TwT. Yes, fail. I write these features the day of, going through people's galleries and reflecting on what that artist has done. These don't get saved any where else and so I am deeply sorry for the artists that were featured in great length - I hope that you were able to see it before I clutzed up. -sniffles-

kveldr.evening.wolf!
Kveldulv, the Ma'iingan (Wolf), is listed as a musician but I don't believe they post their music here. They do, though, have a beautiful collection of photography and some very stunning sketches.
I appreciate the watch Kveldulv, and I hope that you are able to continue sharing your work. Your sketches are incredible especially the high attention to fur detail.

These two furs specialize in Watching! ^w^
I truly am glad you both took the time to set up profiles here on FurAffinity; even though you don't have much of your own to share, you still show support and help so many artists be simply watching and favoriting. It helps us gain confidence in our abilities, and also opens up a gateway for others to find us through you. So I thank you each, once again, for being here =)
On a side note, you should take a look at the SamohtRyu's wicked sona:

Watcher Appreciation Update!!
Posted 13 years agoMark your calendars everyone,
Watcher Appreciation event starts Friday, November 2!
---
So! What I have been wanting to do for a while as thanks for their support is...Dun DUN DUN!!
To Feature Watchers & Art Here on My Page!
What I plan on doing is going down my list of watchers and selecting 2-3 pieces by each artist to feature along with a link to their galleries. There is no specific order and I think it would be amazing if fellow watchers check out each others' work! I'll leave them up for a couple of days at a time, so check out future journals/posts ^w^
I'm also thinking about holding small raffles/contests/random draws for those watching, with small free prize art like chibi's, icons, etc. Please note that due to lack of money and pressure of financial issues I cannot offer up large projects, points, or commission anyone as prizes but I hope you have fun regardless
So the question is...
Should I feature them here in journals or on my Main profile area?!
ADD'd out so bad right now it's funny
I go to reply to messages or check out favorites and something will catch my eye - 13 pages and artists later I will come back to those messages and history repeats itself TwT

Really just ready to live....
Really just ready to live....
Officially without a fuck to give...
Posted 13 years agoNo, seriously...
I either can't sleep...or I want to do nothing but sleep.
I think I am pretty much eating only to amuse myself,
I keep forgetting to remain hydrated...
and I'm either overly happy for no reason or wanting this to all just be done.
I'm sick of all the repetition,
I'm sick of most if not all social networks,
I'm sick of people,
I'm sick of time,
I'm sick of all this emotional idiocy locked in my head,
I'm sick of everything...
I am merely drawing to keep whatever bit of sanity I have left in tact,
To have some connection to the outside world...
Part of me says I did the right thing,
the other part misses with everything left...
I can't even settle my thoughts to write anything here anymore..
If I really had a point anyway..

Sorry for the emotional tangent, working on a personal piece for my brain - two art trades, a gift badge, 2 gift requests, and then will be opening for commissions (possibly). Will keep everyone updated, and once again - I apologize for my random spaztastic journal.

Art Fail = Lack of the ability to sneeze
Posted 13 years agoI just want to sneeze T.T
I have been stuck for about a couple hours now with a headache because I can't sneeze. It's making my head clouded, and so I can't even focus on what I need to get done art wise...

Something about the morals of Art + Life
Posted 13 years agoOk, so I really am not doing so great at the moment and I can't understand to the core why I really am this upset. I've seen both sides of the story, have heard both reasoning's on such topic -- but yet I feel my heart sink and mood drop as my thoughts fall back to it.
Art is VERY important to me - it's one of the only things that really brings to life the emotions, ideas, and thoughts that spark inside of me. It's my hobby, my air, my inspiration, my entertainment, and speaks volumes when I can't even begin to say a single word directly.
I know for a fact the feeling of envy browsing through all the wonderful submissions on any art site and oh do I drool over some of the brilliant drawing styles. I've got decent work I'll admit, but if I had even HALF the talent of some of the artists in the community I would be thrilled...
Now when I've brought this up to multiple people I've heard various sides:
- SCUM
- Boosting their rep amongst other people in the most cowardly way possible
- Trying to impress someone and too scared to be themselves
- An artist should be flattered to have someone view their art as good enough to rip off.
- Etc.

...But one thing I cannot comprehend is feeling this jealousy so strongly, that it is enough to take another's art and show it off as one's own
- especially to those closest to them...where do people get that???

I have found out recently that I HAVE been lied to by a trusted friend.
I don't know if or how I want to bring it up
because to me, it shows that I didn't trust them.
I don't know really how to go about it, either...because truth is...
I don't think that they know I have suspicions...
Just for future notice, anyone and everyone.
Just don't steal. It makes it easier on EVERYONE.
If it's commission, a gift, a request, a trade, FINE - Just say so!
If it's a character that you really admire and is similar to how you see yourself in your head - That's Great!
Just don't go around telling people that the piece of art is something YOU created. It's wrong, it's stupid, and I do not take to it kindly...
**I would like to note, NO, as far as I know my artwork has not been stolen by anyone. This is truly unrelated to me except for it being that the person is a friend. Any advice, comments, tips, whatever else is much appreciated. Thank you**

Posted 13 years ago**LIVE-STREAM RESULTS**
So unfortunately I had to shut down my live stream because I misplaced my pen - either way here is the completed piece up to that point. I'm not too happy with it but I'll go back and edit it off stream when I am able to find my pen again.
LIVE STREAM RESULT WIP
Thank you for those who tuned in ♥
________________________________________________________________________
Hey everyone, about ready to start my live stream coloration for the D & Crow image found Here!
I'd like everyone to know that there are times where I will be quiet or unable to answer quickly -- this is because I AM using a tablet PC! In order for me to type I either have to use an onscreen keyboard OR revert my tablet back into PC form. ^^
If there are several viewers who legitimately want to interact with me then I will hook up my external keyboard.
Really hope you enjoy! My style and methods for doing things may not be like everyone else's but in the end if it turns out well then I don't mind not being like the rest
^-^ Rather enjoy it actually.
Feel free to ask questions and have fun!

Welcome & Thank You
Posted 13 years agoHello all!
Maybe this should be in my bio, maybe not - who knows I sure don't x.x
Either way!
I figured that after a couple weeks of lurking, faving, watching, and enjoying all the amazing artwork found here on Fur Affinity - I should finally open up with a journal at last.
Welcome to my life, yes My Life.
I may not make money off my art. I may not be known world wide for it, or be anywhere near as popular as a lot of artists out there but no matter what anyone may say about me; Art & Music are two things that without, I would probably not be even remotely existing. Art & Music = Oxygen.
[and when you have anxiety Oxygen=GOOD x3]
Now that, that is out of the way:
As an artist I sign by various names but most of the time you will find me as A.R. aka Dead-Shdwwolf, Kovi. My drawing style is pretty much easy to pick up on in all my pieces, but I admit is still pretty sloppy.
My skills/passions/artistic abilities inc:
Sketching, digital art, sewing/altering, poetry, short-stories, embroidery, airbrushing, and special makeup effects.
I love animals, nature, & food and am very much a Water Elemental drawn to Fire like a moth. Music wise, I listen to basically anything and everything that moves me and don't discriminate based on genre [though I will admit my taste for rap and country are very low].
Goals & Dreams
Hope to become more involved with the furry community, but really I just want to be happy & stable ^-^ Otherwise I definitely want to own my own small business sometime soon and sell my patches/art/etc at conventions! Money is important these days (i guess) but really I just want to make people smile with my art :D - am I doing ok so far?
Trades, Commissions, Requests, & Gifts
Currently I am still a little unsure of my situation and self, but once I get more stable I would love to do Trades and Commissions! For now though, I need the practice with new ideas and also organization/communication with people so PLEASE keep an eye out for Request & Gift Journals if you are interested x3 If you are really wanting to do some sort of trade with me, then feel free to ask and I will see what I can do!
I'm just trying to keep my stress level low >>
Last Note
All of this will be updated to my bio in an easier-to-read format, in hopes that one day I'll be able to sit down and update with pics, colors, and the fun randomness that my page is lacking o.o
Thank you so much to each and every one of you that has decided to watch me, that I have decided to watch, and every fav'd artist now and even those to come. You are all so wonderfully amazing - and though I do not know you on a personal level; you inspire and encourage me to keep going. You'll probably never know, but that means more to me than all the attention/money/power/whatever-the-hell-else in all the world(s) combined.
Thank you ^-^
