It's taking me a while to get back into the swing of art, but I'm really amped up for it, so I'm opening commissions soon again officially. For as long as the Commission Sheet image remains up as my main displayed submission, I'll be open! However, I won't take more than a certain number of slots (to be determined at open!)

So yeah, keep an eye out for that. I finally finished one of my passion pieces, and I'm going through my scraps day-to-day to turn some different things into full blown pieces (including Daily Doodles)

See ya next time. Thanks for watching me, by the way, anyone who is currently (and new peeps <3) Love ya all.

Have you ever played the game Last Cloudia? It has an anthropomorphic beast for one of the main characters and is the forerunner / mascot of the game. Named Rei, he's an arrogant tiger-looking chimera beast with wings.

https://www.lastcloudia.com/en/character/

It's an action RPG game on google play / ios store, free to play. But of course, the reason I'm advertising this game isn't so you can lose yourself and your wallet to microtransactions, heck no. You can get by as a new player on this game easily with the new event rewards and really good banners to use your free crystals, free tickets / pulls, etc.. on.

Anyways, the reason I'm advertising it is cuz it has a couple of beast characters, one that's the lead and another that's a side character somewhere in the story (red wolf beast Dilmordo.) Dilmo doesn't get enough love cuz of this, but he has a playable form in-game that is outdated as heck!

Here's where you come in; we have a popularity vote for favorite unit, and you can vote once a day, as well as pick three units. The winner later on will get an in-game alternate form as playable!

So, even if your favs don't win, I'd consider starting the game rerolling for your favorites. We have two playable beast characters (Rei has 3 forms right now) and a mariad of (albeit garbage) monster units you can use. The story is actually pretty involved and long, and lots of events going on each update.

Anyways, that's my random advertisement for a game I've loved for the 4 and half years it's been out on Global. Please consider playing it, and if you do like it, hit me up on DM (or discord @Krystedez) :3 I'd love to help out.

I don't think anyone should do anything for me, but I just wanted to lament the fact that I'm 32 this year and it feels weird. I still feel about the same as I did like, 15 years ago, but just, idk, more of an angst beast and more gay / out then I used to be? Is that normal? Idk. Anyways, pop some balloons and hug your moms for me, heh.

Krystofr's ToS

*Note: This ToS will be updated periodically, as this is the first version / draft

1. Payment must be met in full prior to work.
Paypal is the form of payment only, with the payment details listing your username.

2. Source files are not given.
Only web version art will uploaded. You will be given directly (via email or otherwise) image(s) at full resolution.

3. Progress updates / works in progress are provided on a weekly basis if requested (1/week).
Do not badger me daily for updates. Only ask for major deviations from your initial idea or commission type if the FIRST sketch I give you isn't what you imagined. If I'm already done with a sketch stage, I will give you a WIP immediately and await a timely response to how it looks so that I may continue. If you don't respond within 2 days I will assume the sketch is good enough and will continue the rest of the piece.

4. You're in charge of your idea, not me.
Please be descriptive in your initial request. Use references. Give model sheets. Most importantly, use appropriate grammar so that I can understand you. If you have issues with this because you're not primarily English-speaking, then let me know, I'll try my best to understand. This changes if you say artistic freedom anywhere in your request, in which case your commission will be charged slightly less but you'll get progress updates less often as well.

4. Art done by me is my art.
The web version (either via Twitter or Furaffinity with credit back to me) is allowed to be shared, but that's it. Don't claim it as your own. Unless otherwise specified, don't make edits or ask other people to make edits to it and then upload it somewhere. This includes (but is not limited to) coloring it if it's lineart or linearting it if it's a sketch. Finally, do not reupload the full resolution piece anywhere else please.

5. The following refund policy is in effect for post-sketch commissions - -

- if you decide for any reason you don't want to commission me after all, let me know ASAP.
- if I've not started work, you will get your money back.
- partial refunds (50-70%) are allowed if only a sketch has been made.
- no refunds for art going past WiP / Sketch stage.
- will work with you based on the circumstances if I see fit, otherwise please abide by and understand this policy

If you so choose to give me a reason for why, that's up to you, but isn't necessary. I will understand so long as you understand the above.

7. I will not keep money for work I do not complete timely or to my personal standards.
I reserve the right to cancel + refund your commission at any point, especially if it falls outside of my ability or if something else outside of my control occurs.

8. This ToS is not infallible, nor is everything I do or don't do covered in it. If you want a list of do's and don't's for my art, please see my Palatables list.

And for NSFW (18+ only)

Commissions Price Sheet (coming soon) will be either a google doc or a gallery image here.

I may post art elsewhere sometime if I find other fun platforms to share on. Feel free to suggest anything via DM. And of course make a comment here on this journal if there's somewhere else you'd like to follow me at!

okay actually I lied it's probably a big update since I don't post journals often lol

-I'm trying to just enjoy doing art lately. It seems to be most effective if I'm just drawing what I want.
-6 guys. one house. its cramped! but mostly cuz one bathroom. We still make it work and have plenty of room.
-4 of the guys (including me) are in a relationship together (polycule). Me and the husband + 2 boyfriends
-we got a puppy over a year ago, her name is Coffee and she's a beautiful husky/german shep mix
-life is hard, but we're doing what we can with it.
-I hope I can take on a seasonal position again sometime to make extra cash.
-on that note, I could just start commissions. Just dont know how to price them yet XD
-and of course only major event recently our second bf (Nickel) moved in with us last August 2021. He's a good boy . . . <3 I drew him in a couple pictures here.

Anyways thats about it. I dont have anything super important to talk about just wanted to update my journal finally, heh

Hm.. My whole ideal situation is being motivated to draw. But since I've been on the move and stuff, finally settled down in Washington with my boys... I'm kinda stagnated in my creative process. With animal crossing here, and being addicted to a little game called Last Cloudia, I have a ton of ideas but not motivation to put them in paper form or digital form. But, I do have something else to look forward to, with some NFC chips coming in the mail to create my own amiibos for ACNH... So maybe, I'll get a little creative for the sake of attaching those too physical representations of the animals they hold...

We'll see. I also want to just, you know, chill. The pandemic has been stupidly worrying for me. Can't really go out and do stuff to get away from my surroundings, but all the same I don't want to make excuses, just admitting my laziness, heh.

Anyways, this is mostly just to say hi, and I'm not dead. If anyone has suggestions for a six fan arts thing, let me know, I wanna try that first.

I won't be on social media except for discord/telegram for a bit.

My grandma on my Dad's side passed away this morning at 1am and i got the message at 8am. I woke up at 2pm.

At first i didnt feel anything really. But i broke down and took off work i guess. Idk how ill feel but at least i have the support of my boys and chosen family i have here.

I am going through all my artwork and putting temporary or alternative pictures into scraps, as well as stuff I just don't think meets the quality standard I want yet.

I want my gallery to increase but I don't like every piece I do enough to keep more than half of them presented lol.

× I'm working at Costco starting on the 9th, 15 an hour, a huge jump from my previous paygrade at The Home Depot!

× Our boyfriend Bailey moved in with us a couple months ago, and he's helping with rent and supplies *3*

× my art quality took a giant jump up, thankfully, but i still have a lot of bad habits to break!

× i got fourth out of 80 people at my last tournament, the springs scene's first smash ultimate nonthly, BOWU!

× I'm looking forward to Animal Crossing on the Switch x3

× as always my husband proves to be my wonderful center of my universe and keeps me sane, loved, nurtured, wanted ♡

Life is hitting me slow and fast. I might take meds soon for anxiety, but otherwise I am so blessed. Thank you also who continue watching me and thinking of me.

I always have an affinity for being close to or associating with people with really fucked up pasts, terrible personal issues, or both.

I myself have my own issues, haha. I'm a huge crybaby and I scare easily of loud curses and anger in general. But i also fall depressed easily in some cases. I have bad spatial reasoning or directional logic (i get lost easily). I sometimes autopilot through my thought process and unintentionally ignore people. I also joke that as a gemini i really do have two sides, one playful and perhaps endearing or kind?

But the other is a complete robot, sometimes appearing angry when im really not, i just lose all motivation to emote. And of course ive lied to myself and others? Something i cant quite get over.

Still i think despite all of that i can be a somewhat healthy individual..but lately i feel like i fuck up more than most quote unquote "broken people". Then they think they mess up or no one likes them. Depression sucks. But seriously i get so frustrated. Im the one fucking up. Blame me! Dont blame yourself. Augh. People just don't realize how perfect they really are despite all of their problems. I dont invalidate depression or anxiety, hell i have it sometimes. But despite that, the person is perfect to me.

"Why do people say that they do deserve love?"
"It is not something that can be simply earned."

" It is a gift!"

Great! You understand the concept. But the phrase is meant to show concern to anyone who believes they are
unloveable
unworthy of love
unable to love
unappreciated for their love to others and thus loveless forever
unreciprocated in their love for one(s) they care most for

Whether you believe your heart is too dark, too chaotic, too apathetic, too agape or too broken, it does not matter. You can be loved. You deserve love.
And for there to bloom love from others, there must be strong conviction in your love conquering something stronger than it. Your mind. Your body. Your emotions. The two latter persuading your mind to give up on such illogical and lame situations where love or soul brings out your passion or care. Your mind is the most important thing. But what good is the mind without the body to carry it? What good is the mind without the emotions to give you the right path, based on how you react? Finally, why does the mind care, if not for love or passion?

You need all four.

Mind
Body
Emotion
Soul

But people can and will continue moving through time without soul. I have respect for people who try to rush through life without acknowledging it. But I also empathize for them. Because, somewhere, someone is crying for you. And hoping things can be better. Praying for your safety and worried about you. I am not a very intelligent person. Even writing this is giving me heartburn and making me wish I'd just let my thoughts fly into the wind for now.

But for someone who has experienced first hand, either from myself or others... betrayal. heartbreak. loss. suicide. death. . .

I am can tell you that I would be a husk without the heart my mother and father molded for me, without what God filled with soul. And I can tell you that if not for my selfish acts, life would not have been as bright.

Still.

I find myself hoping for some solace, some stillness or silence to the noise, to the drama, always, for a solution, something to give way to love, for those who believe that they are not loved or that it's impossible.

______

Sorry I kind of rambled for a bit there. I just am frustrated. I wish for love for those who do not have it. I hope those who I care about still know I do. And I pray for miracles, but know, only we can make the future.

I'm working on my art more these days but if anyone has suggestions I'm open to them (read: not requests, don't ask me to draw your fursona please)

If I open up commissions, I'd definitely want to know what anyone's thoughts are on what is good to work toward first as someone who doesn't do them much; do you much prefer commission ideas/descriptions, or, YCH's, or, giving artist free reign on an idea including a character, situation, etc...

It's my birthday today, turning 27 ^^

I'm thinking of commissioning someone, if anyone can recommend me any less popular but still talented artist who does commissions and is able to do the range of fluffy/chubby characters to slightly chubby characters or size play easily, please let me know! I'm still doing my own thing for myself too but still. Would be nice to get a couple picture and maybe something of my favorite character Chief, since not many draw him.

Got an actual goal for my drawing practice,been working on some piccies for friends. Animal crossing style pictures are my favorite to draw these days, whether lude or not, and I just love how people's faces brighten up when drawn with their favorite villager or a fan/crossover villager <3

So a lot of stuff has happened.

Namely I got married to the love of my life; his name is Jabberz. We were married on my birthday, June 8th, of this year. :)

A couple other things. I used to work at Walmart. Had an issue with my direct supervisor, an assistant manager of the store, who was a complete bitch to everyone and no one likes her there. She's literally cancerous to our store and ever since she stepped into it, we've had issues (as a whole store, not just me). I got term'd cuz of having too many absences, even though the only reason I went over the alloted amount of absences was because she plays favortism and didn't approve my day off, claiming I "didn't get with her", even though she wasn't there that whole week before I asked someone else, who then said "Yeah, it should be fine, just put your day requested into the system."

Anyways, been unemployed and on unemployment for 3 months now almost, so I been looking the whole time, finally got an interview at, guess where? Freaking walmart. I was term'd with rehire status, so I thought maybe trying the much smaller and much calmer neighborhood market down the street would help. Waiting for results.

On that note, rent got really high at the old place we used to live in, so we moved into a place near that said neighborhood market. Much cheaper, but we been living on just my unemployment and slow and small checks coming from Jabz's job, cuz that same walmart I used to work at is not giving any hours some weeks. . . . It's been rough, can't seem to catch up, been living on sausages rice eggs pancakes and thats about it. It's about the cheapest things I can buy.

So, with all that in mind, I hope those of you who do watch me or are friends with me aren't too worried, but I appreciate the attention and concern any of you have shown me before. I want to get back into art, but I don't have a working tablet atm. I may upload some sketches via my mobile device sometime though.

Much love.

I didn't realize that I hadn't been keeping my queue informed of things that well, until it was well so far into the year. Goodness.

I want you all to know that if you ever do commission me, from here on out, I will be doing periodic check-ins with each commissioner to let them know what's going on and why things take so long. I feel as though I owe both Truttle and SirWuffleton an apology for this. They've both waited forever, and I just finished Truttle's.

The problem is that, not only do I have no acceess to my own tablet right now (utilizing my fiance's atm), but I also have a problem with procrastination and doing stuff on my own time after work.

No excuses though. IF for any reason at any given time you wish to be removed from the queue and not interested anymore in the commission, I perfectly understand. We can always make other payment arrangements or talk over possibilities of the idea in question being put back on a later date!

- Merry Christmas from George and Yookey

Thanks for your guys' support~ I know I'm just starting out but I WILL do my very best on any commissions purchased.

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNNezJPsYyA background music... I don't know why but I'm starting to like some few country music I keep finding)

I've been kind of mixed in emotions. I'm feeling so bad for a lot of reasons and yet I should be feeling good. There are so many people in such a large world... We're all but simple mice, in the grand scheme of things... But...

You may be a mouse, but you don't have to be confined to a cage.
You may be a mouse, but you won't always feel so small.
You may be a mouse, but you've surely acheived great things, and will continue to.
You may be a mouse, but you deserve more than a hole in the wall.
You may be a mouse, but you are independant and smart; there is no limits because of size or circumstance
Youu may be a mouse, but that's no reason you have do all things alone; you are loved.

And most importantly, you may be a mouse, but that doesn't mean you're the trash you're forced to root through on occasion.

We all may be but mice at times, but in the grand scheme of things, we are capable of so much. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise, including yourself. You're only mortal. Hold on to truth, love, peace, and understanding; bypass madness, envy, jealousy, and hatred. Experience all emotions of course, including sadness and anger, but do so with gentleness and forgivness in your heart, for all things. To accept a lifestyle of unconditional love and careful understanding is to accept more happiness in your life, and be able to move on from struggle.

I don't know why I decided to write this. I just feel so much for my friends and family, and yet I've failed to practice these things myself, to think of true, honest, loving thoughts and trying to live out each day at peace with myself. How can I impart peace to others, when I myself can not attain it...? I will not know unless I try.

My friends, my watchers, my family... I love you all. I appreciate everything you've done for me and let me do for you. I can only hope to better my attitude and try to live by these examples.

"I'm thinkin' about everything I shouldn't be thinkin' about..."

After finishing up some stuff, I may do a pricing guide for commissions if anyone is interested. Right now, I'm thinking of doing animal crossing style pictures, but not sure if I can implement the style for specific fursonas. Would much rather just draw favorite villagers for people and/or their mayors ^^ but we'll see. Thoughts, suggestions, etc, are welcome of course!
