kind of an open offer/raffle so I can change my pace a bit. I don't plan on picking someone till a bit later today/tomorrow
It's been a while since I've drawn any horses and I got a couple who could use the attention.

looking for:
other horses/equines.
larger females/males/etc.

very dominant female/herm characters
cleaned up sketch guaranteed, anything else might be finished much later
I don't have a particular idea in mind so that's negotiable.
feel free to ask questions!

can't believe I didn't notice. well then...

I can't express what this means to me that this many people appreciate my work this much.

thank you, really. For the longest time I've always wanted to give up, but It's good to see I've
at least made an impact on you guys, because you certainly made an impact on me. I do my best to remember
all of you as best I can (and I know some aren't as social as others but that's okay). and the big 1k is just over the horizon.
for right now I need to focus on other projects and keeping my galleries and sites up to date, and any little help in getting my name out there is more then welcome and is the best/easiest way to help me.
raffles will be on hold for a bit. After Halloween it will probably be at the next big milestone. after that I'm not sure what will come.

but seriously. I've gotten so many kind words and praise that I never would have gotten outside of here. I know I'm not perfect but hopefully those flaws can be smoothed out.
THANK YOU TO ALL YOU AMAZING DUDES

I've always been interested in that kind of stuff but never really thought It would fit in well with the rest of my work here .
There's a few key things I really wanna put out there for those just starting out that can make starting so much easier. but I'd at least
want to gauge interest for it first.

something bit me and it made my foot hurt, so I'm bored out of my head on bedrest and meds.

shameless plug for my tumblr
https://lavasi.tumblr.com/ask

send me suggestions for drawing(such as):

outfits/poses/questions for Morgan/other characters
sketches you wanna see
future projects/raffles
critiques or complements you're too shy to give(I get that so hard)

just check the 'anonymous' box if you don't have an account set up
I'm curious to see what kind of stuff I get
anything that goes up there also gets put up here, too.

also there's a good chance I'll start up another raffle soon so keep your eyes peeled for that

Going to switch things up a bit and see how it goes. 2 winners will be chosen (cleaned up colored sketches) 1 full character each(additional body parts/ items allowed. if requested you can include a character of mine in the picture within certain limits for a few of them). all I ask of the winners is to give me a direction/prompt to work with as if it was a commission. (I don't really thrive on artistic free range. :/ ) as a plus I do like it when people go into detail of what they want so the winners will have plenty of control over what they get.


1. must be watching, please.
2. if you give this raffle a signal boost, you get a second 'ticket'!(I'll need to be able to authenticate it, but the journal can be deleted after the deadline)
3. reference/referable character image required.
4. look over the ToS here -->https://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/lavasi/
5. winner announced on Saturday Aug 18(8:30 pm est).
6. comment for entry

I only recently noticed I crested 400+ watchers. Wow. Thank you to everyone. I usually take even small gestures from others seriously, and this kind of stuff leaves me a bit stunned. Just the knowledge of that fact helps get me through bad days.

That said, I need to bring up a serious matter. Because of things both unforeseen and long time coming, I do feel a bit worried. This is NOT a beg for charity. I don't really feel good taking things unsolicited. I want/should/need to start monetizing my work now that I can say I'm comfortable with it. My best guess would be bases/adopts, but not really the way I've seen them done. I want something that gives a large amount of customization and input and suggestion from you guys, maybe even a subscription option. I really just want some kind of feedback.

I really want to keep doing what I'm doing but the way things are going I don't know if that's possible. that's why I said my last raffle will be the last one for a while. How long that while is I don't know. Just know that I appreciate every single one of you.

Thank you all for the entries!
Since this was so close I would really enjoy hearing from you!
the first one will be up this month!
if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Haven't really done much but that's for a couple big reasons.

I'm working hard the past few weeks on a BIG personal project that I hope to get out by next year.
I've been in a shitty spot for a few months so my mood has been sub par and my motivation is down dramatically.
I've been working on my skills and style a bit.

I will try to do a few free things here and there, but for now that may be limited,
and they may be a bit more "conservative" in comparison to past work. please
forgive me if that isn't your cup of tea.

Now for a big favor. I want input. I feel petty asking for it but I'm honestly stuck.
Criticism is a big help, because my progress is what drives me. A couple good suggestions:

If I did commissions, would you buy them? if so, what would you think is fair? ( Certainly not sold on doing those yet, but it helps)
Is their anything I should do in particular?
honest criticism
what do you like to see?

I've pushed this back far enough, I wanted my life to settled down a bit before I said anything. You guy's are great, Seriously. I never Imagined getting this far with my work or viewers. This really means a lot. I know I have room for improvement with my work, and taking interest really does keep me motivated. I really look forward to seeing my change in the future, and I hope you all feel the same! Thank you so much!

Now onto the update and a bit about me.
I really need a break, I'm struggling with things at the moment inside and outside of art. It's not going away forever, probably for a month or something IDK. I just need some time to get life straightened out. As for my art, I'm using this time to practice new things so that I can be happy with what I'm doing rather than letting my current style demotivate me more. I MIGHT do trades or something in the future, all I can say is that the big raffles will come back by mid April/May. Not a hiatus, just a development period. I hope you all understand.

I know I'm not very active in communication, I'm just very shy and I like keeping my life private, which is better for all of us. I'm just a dude on the internet. If you have any questions about programs or tools I use, things I like, etc., feel free to ask that kind of stuff.


LOVE YOU GUYS! have a great day!

Stockpiled a few things so you awesome people could have some options. before I start dumping stuff, I'd like to here ideas or suggestions. I want to work with you guys as much as possible but I'd also like to know what you'll want to see. Feel free to ask me ANYTHING if you have a question. Happy holidays everyone!

I'm probably gonna do this stuff more! just because you don't win this round, doesn't mean you missed your only chance. A big Thank you to all who watched, and I want to make you all as happy as I possibly can. Have a happy thanksgiving and happy Holidays!
