So while I'm making my comic and waiting for commissions to come in, I thought that I'd play around with enhancing my art. So I figured I'd ask what you all would like to see more of?
It could be a certain mood you want me to express more. It could be a technique you think I should try. Basically it could be anything. (Fursuit stuff not included only because I don't have the money to really make premades).
What I won't draw:
-Pron
-Fetishes
-Inflation
-Ponies as in MLP (I can do toony/ realistic ponies, I'm just not a fan of MLP)

This will help so much guys, I want to be able to bring you all the best and your advice will help! :)

I'm opening two more slots. Everything is back at original price unless I promised you a sale price. I would like to make more art dolls which are priced at $150 which includes shipping. I'm open for everything though except regular plushies. I would like to perfect patterns some more before jumping back into those.

I want to make my comic soon. I'm almost ready to begin it, but I don't have anywhere to post it and I would very much like to post it here, but it only has one anthro character which is really just a human with shapeshifting powers. I know there are people that hate it when people post human stuff here. I don't see why I shouldn't post it here, but just don't want to have hate or nasty comments thrown at me for posting a human comic (if that makes sense).
Just wanted to know some opinions.

Also:
I'm looking for manga styled furry comics with action more than romance. I like black and white comics mostly. Too much detail distracts me although the art is gorgeous.

Finishing the last few commissions left on my list, so that means soon I will be opening for commissions again! I'm adding a new commission type on my list which is cross stitch commissions. If you don't know what cross stitching is it's basically embroidery. I work with a mesh canvas and stitch the pattern by hand and they look best framed. It takes a very long time, usually weeks to a month of work depending on size. They will be pricey but they do take a long time. I will be posting examples after all the commissions are up.
ALSO: I will be saving some money to work on a new commission type which will be pose-able stuffed animals both toony and realistic and small to life-sized. Also pricey but will be worth it once I start making them.
On top of all that I'll be doing projects on the side which will be items I will be selling in various cons. For now I'm just building inventory, but I will update when I have a definite spot in an artist alley. I'm still deciding what exactly to make for my inventory, but I this is the list of items I'm considering:
Hats (crochet, with and without ears)
Stuffed animals (crochet)
Traditional Paintings (mostly landscapes and animal works, premade)
Drawings (both digital and traditional, of course all custom)
Cross Stitch (premade and custom, frame does not come with either)
Kigurumi's (premade)

I hope to add the pose-able stuffed animals to this list soon, but we'll have to see.
I probably won't be able to do all of them but that's the list. If there's anything you think I should add let me know! :)

Other than that everything is going well. I'm getting good hours at work (for now) and I'm getting amazing grades! Hope everything is well for everyone else! :)

So I've come a long way in my art but as I compare to some of my favorite artists it's clear I'm slacking somewhere. I am asking for people to look at some of my work and to give me some tips on what I could have done to make it better. I know I'm not the best with lighting, female anatomy, designing clothing, and the fur is something I've been trying to develop more but needs work as well. I'm trying different weights to my lineart, but I'm not very pleased with my lineart usually.
To help I'll put a list of some of my favorite artists:

Please comment below to leave your advice, thank you all so much for the help! :)

Please do not be rude when giving criticism, I know some people don't mean to but it does happen. Things like "this is unoriginal" "this is lazy" etc will be deleted.

Mine was yesterday (the 24th) and my boyfriend's was the 22nd and there was much celebrating, so I had taken a break from my list. Now I'm back on track so expect some new art! After commissions I'm thinking about closing or taking a few commissions at a time. I'm trying to really hone in on my art skills and I want to crank out art to prepare myself for animating my series once all the episodes are written out. Also with school (exams coming up) it's going to get stressful real soon and on top of that I have found a job at a place called 5 Guys. I'm glad I'm going to be busy but at the same time I easily overwork myself. I stay up until early in the morning, sleep in until 9 or 11 then immediately begin working on projects/ assignments/ etc. until I go back to sleep. That's my life right there hahahaha *cries* Nah, I enjoy staying busy, but some days I just have to take the time to relax.
Anyways, like I said back on track and feeling good about the future (I can move out on time like I wanted). Hope everything is going equally wonderful for everyone else! If not, stay positive, good things are bound to come around! :)

First thing I have to tell you: I have lavender in my room I bought at a Wiccan store (I made bath salts with it and have extra left over) and my mom is going to tell my dad that it's drugs and pretend that she found it in my room. That's the greatest prank ever, he's going to have a heart attack! xD

Anyways, because of the snow days I have been able to get through my commissions quicker. I'm hoping to get another commission done tonight and one or two done tomorrow. Then whatever's left will be done on Thursday and Friday.

If anyone has any questions on commissions/ would like to commission me you can note me here or on skype: sammigirl08

Hey everyone, my area is being hit with a snow storm and we may lose power, so I'm working on everything without breaks to try to get as much as I can done. I think we might have already lost power because when I opened my laptop my open files were closed and the pop ups were on the desktop, I saved so it's all good, but we might get another. If all goes well I'll be posting pictures up today, if not then tomorrow will be the best bet.

Hey guys, I just wanted you all to know my schedule so you'll know when things will be getting done:
Tuesday night:
Commission outlined and colored for  phantomfullforce

Saturday:

I had an awesome time at the meet last night and can't get that OOOoooOOo thing out of my head xD Hope everyone had a great time, can't wait until next month!

Alright so I was taught a few tricks on how to animate things better and I installed a new program (Flash CS6 instead of Flash Macromedia 8) and I already am in love. So anything I was working on before is going to have to be redone or changed up to meet the new quality of animation I'll be doing. I'm so excited though, this will hopefully mean I can work faster.
Basically how I used to animate was drawing and redrawing, but with this you convert everything to symbols so it can be moved around rather than having to draw it at a different position. I'll be making that music video in the new style so I'll have to post it once it's finished.

I have a difficult time with decisions, so what I'm going for with this painting is something intense/ dark. Now If I do it digitally it's going to be an animal, so if you want me to go this route give me a good animal that will fit the mood (digitally gets a livestream and a video). If traditionally it has to be a location, like an abandoned house in the woods type deal, probably always centered around in the woods for the topic, and it will not have a livestream or video. So ideas would be helpful! Thank you!

I'm on Nyquil and typing is difficult. I'm so tired, I slept in until like 1:30pm and I could have kept sleeping but I'm trying to make sure I stay awake for a little bit. I feel dead hahaha.
Anyway, I have stuff to finish then even more things to post and yaddah yaddah, I've been keeping busy or trying to lately. Wow I can't really even think right now ^^; Well then, this journal was a bit of a fail, but hope everyone is good. :)

She will be unavailable for a little while, I'm not going to say what's going on because for now it's personal, but anyone who was looking to commission her or has commissioned her: She will not be on for a few days to a few weeks.

It's this cartoon genie that guesses characters from ANYTHING! It's so much fun to play: http://en.akinator.com/personnages/jeu?reset=1
I was playing it and guess who's on there- BUDDY!

That means:
Digital and Traditional art
Suits of all kinds
Crochet hats
Not sure if I make it? Then ASK.
I could really use money since classes are coming up and jobs here are limited.

So this guy is a newly completed suit as of today. I've been calling him Henery but the name isn't official aannnnddd he's up for sale, I was going to have it just be the head but I included the tail.
Info:
Head size max would be roughly 24" maybe more but I am not too sure on that. He may be big for smaller heads in that case what helped me was wearing a thick hood to have him fit better, but foamie layers at the back of the head should work as well.
Static Jaw.
Toony eyes.
Floppy ears :3
The tail is very small making it look like a Rottweiler tail (even though they're usually shorter.
No hand paws because I didn't have enough fabric.
I will also include a badge with whichever name is chosen for the suit.

Price:
$300

Shipping is included in price. Note me if interested.

So I'm used to drawing dudes and I can draw girls as long as they're little and have no tits yet. I can't describe my utter frustration going about drawing an adult woman in a nonrealistic way. They never look hot enough and will look too manly. Ugh. Why must I suck? T-T

In other news today my arm went completely numb for a few seconds while watching anime on my laptop. Just kind of went and came back. And my brother is paranoid with little sounds the house makes. I laughed at him.

First I want to apologize for not being on for a bit, a lot has happened. Both good and bad.
I will get to trades soon.

The craziest thing that happened today like just a few minutes ago is what I really want to talk about. I just got home after a good night out with friends. I go into the kitchen after playing with my dog in the living room and I go to put my things down on a chair and as I'm doing so a wind (I guess I'll call it) hit the side of my head (gently of course). I kind of pause and look at the ceiling fan but it's not on, it's still. The window's closed and so are the doors. I repeat my motions to see if I could feel the breeze, but this time I couldn't. I try this again and exaggerate my motion to cause more wind or whatever but not enough to amount to what I felt. Normally people would be afraid but I just get this stupid goofy grin on my face.

Hey so I'm still in emergency commission mode but I really want to do some trades with people especially with anyone wanting to build up their drawing skills. So I'll take a few trades at a time. I am taking 5 slots for commissions/trades. Just note me for details and I'll get back to you ASAP. :)

Guys this person is new still to FA and OMG! Such beautiful art! Check out  Commander-Feuer

I just need a quick answer from as many of you:
I am making an animated music video, should the characters be human OR anthro?

Christmas has gone well, everyone got along better than usual which is strange for my family, but I'm glad. Everyone was happy with their gifts and I love every single one of mine. Perfect holiday (which is saying a lot because usually they're chaotic and miserable). So yay Christmas!
On the flip side I've been off lately. It's been... interesting with my spiritual journey, but I'm still where I have been. Eh... this is something I'd rather not talk about right now though, very dark.
Anyways, I still need to take more classes and find another job (Have I ever stated how much I hate this society? Nothing makes sense in this world. I wish we had less technology, seriously.) yaddah yaddah.
So yeah.

*On a side note: those blow up's whether of animals or people that people bring to cons are freaky as all hell. Don't know why they creep me out but they do sooooo much!*

Hey so  Windy_Corgi will be teaming up on commissions. To commission us as a team we'll be making an account on FA and if you have Gaia we'll be there as well. The account hasn't been made yet, but we'll be working on it. So just keep an eye on that.
I might take commissions on full suits, but it's not sure just yet and I'll be editing my prices on fursuits so they are flat rates, no more guessing. That will be changed in time.
As for everything else, I'm still in emergency commissions mode and I'm thinking about doing an animated music video soon. Still debating.
