A Better Me
Posted 2 years agoi know i havnt posted much. honestly, i was scared to even attempt art. or anything for that matter. i had a lot of mental issues and i saw myself as a failure. i felt like anything i do will be a horrible failure by default just because im the one doing it. but eventually i was informed of a organization that helps disabled people (phisical and mental) live independently. they helped me get health insurrance and i was finaly able to afford therapy. i studied psychology and had a good therapist and now i feel way better. i am well aware of myself and my problems and i can critique myself, catch myself starting to do something bad like project my problems or get angry or blame myself or having a PTSD episode, and i can stop myself and direct myself to act more productively. have more confidence. and i got past my video game addiction. so now my autistic brain is hyper focused on my art. to anyone reading this who suffers with mental troubles, there is hope out there. please, seek the help u need. youre not as horrble as you think you are.
I can finally make digital art!
Posted 2 years agolast Christmas i recieved a drawing tablet and clip studio. so i can make digital art now! im so excited. im having a lot of fun learning how to use my new tools. i should be posting a slew of new art this year. i have many exciting ideas. starting with the piece i just finished today!
(low key lost my job) BUT HEY my drawing paw still works!
Posted 4 years agodo you like realistic art? attention to small details? and the charm of good old fashioned pencil work? My commissions are open! help me afford better art supplies and i will upgrade my gear so i can start doing digital art. my prices are a lil up there... but thats cause im delicately manipulating phisical materials to create art you can actually hold, i cant delete mistakes and i have to pay for envelopes, shipping, stamps etc. i try my best to make it worth the cost.
Some folks like my art?
Posted 4 years agoI noticed that some people faved MY art. and i have like 300+ views. i know that's not an impressive amount like what AnChee, Dream n Nightmare and some other really good artists get. but its more than i expected. and its made me feel like my art is worth something to some people its inspired me to resume drawing. i want to make more art. who knows, i might become a decently known furry artist. some day someone might even commission me. thank all of you who faved my art. you really picked me up. <3 <3 <3
Ending Commissions
Posted 5 years agowell, i was told that my art isn't good enough to earn money. and i'm lacking some tools anyway. sense no one has commissioned anything from me i guess that person was right. so i'm closing shop and gonna go put in for "real jobs" ...i'm really dreading this but i have to do something to pay the bills.
a set back for a better result?
Posted 5 years agoso you know that i do art with pencils and paper so its not realy possible to make small edits and make multiple versions of the same image. well my sister gave me a fantastic idea. apparently there are these light boxes for tracing. so ima try get one so i can trace my ref sheets so i can make SFW and NSFW versions. this means ill be postponing my art alil bit but i think itl be worth it.
Starting Comissions!
Posted 5 years agoThat's right! I'm hereby opening up commissions (up to 3 at a time) for traditional physical art. pencil shading or pencil/marker colored. for details PM me. (easiest way to contact me is via discord! at 🍀Lucky_Wolf 🐾#2599. I will be checking here too so if you don't have discord you can still get a hold of me but it will be a bit slower.
prices [$$$]
head shot $20
ref sheet $30
full body $50
full body w/ full detail background $100
+additional characters $50 each. (so a full body with 3 specific characters = $150)
I am a serious artist and there are some things I refuse to draw. I reserve the right to turn away commissions if I find them disturbing.
if you ask for a NSFW piece I will ask for proof of age (you must be 18+)
Hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday season! <3

Commissions! and defeating depression!
Posted 5 years agoI have huge news! I have finally gotten over my depression with the help of my best friends and found family. i want to give a big thanks to wonderful people like PaulParadox, JackyHark,Voidscale, Loui, Lokki and many many many more. they showed me i am loved and I'm not worthless and stuck with me constantly feeding me positivity for years now no matter how depressed i got and here i am now happy confident and ready to persue my art. that's right i am finally doing commissions. i will spend this week setting everything up. i will be practicing colors! cause while there is a charm to old black n white pencil art color can add so much more to the story being told in the picture and i want to expand my talents which brings me to another thing.
When i was a pup i was poor and sick and so i couldn't buy things i couldn't get many video games couldn't go places. so the only way i could see anything was to draw it. and i realize that is exactly what furry artists do is bring the unobtainable to life through art. every work of art is like a lil window into the world of the fantastical and impossible. and i cant wait to help bring your fursonas and your characters to life for you. <3 like i said i will be setting things up this week, making accounts on popular furry art sites, paypal, setting prices and so on.

update~
Posted 5 years agoso, the college thing didnt work out, im still jobless and stuck in a place i dont wanna be. but i think my depression is finally subsiding, i realize or rather finaly accept that i do have some talent, and i do have some people who love me. im scared of sounding gloaty or self absorbed. but i cant keep being so hard on myself. i may start doing commissions. if anyone even likes old fashioned pencil art... or if i can remember my paypal log in XD anywho, um if anyone cares, there ya go.
Doing better
Posted 9 years agoHEY all you fuzzbutts :D its been a long time sense i was last on FA, i posted that journal about losing my home. now i'm back to say life has stabolized, kinda, i'm living in New York at the moment bout to try to get in to a collage, some friends helped get me on my feetpaws and now i'm looking to the future again, thank you all for your concern, this wolf will be back in action very soon.
my homeless situation - please help me
Posted 10 years agomy name is Johnathan Coker, I'm a 20 year old about to lose my home in a month and I have nowhere to go. what happened over last few years was. my step mother blew all our money and racked up lots of debts, bankrupted my family, my grandparents and my now late (rest her soul) great grandmother. cost us to lose our house and a truck. then she lied to us and tricked my dad to move where she wanted to and everything got worse from there, she bankrupted us again and cost us another house and took all the money we had left and spent it behind our backs leaving us totally poor and homeless. so with nowhere to go we went to stay with my grandparents till we got on our feet. then my papaw (rest his soul) past away. my grandmother hates us cause of my step mother and cause my father isn't her "favorite" child. so she immediately started trying to sell the house KNOWING we had nowhere to go and refusing to help us financially. she was unbelievably determined to sell this house. she did a sales pitch to everyone who had a heartbeat, the insurance company called and she even tried to sell her house the guy from the insurance company! so she finally found a buyer and now my father and I are sunk. if this guys bank loan goes through I'll be sitting on a pile of my belongings next to the road. I don't expect anyone to take BOTH of us, but my dad only cares about his kids safety and well being, as long as I get a home than he...I don't want to think about that. I love him dearly. so please if u have a spare bedroom and can afford a little extra, I'm a really nice guy, I'm very honest, I'm not a thief or delinquent, I don't eat much, I'm willing to work and do my fair share around the house. I promise to stay out of your way. I'm also gay and single. as long as you have high speed internet and live in a gun friendly state like pretty much anywhere in the south, PA, TN, TX are preferable cause I'm a gunsmith and a gun owner. I have family heirlooms that I can't part with. but, my dad is determined to find a way to fix this but...he's been at it for months and every plan he's come up with has been shot down or failed so I have little confidence left for him (bless his heart) I need a place incase I lose this. thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
