Since my attempts to take over stargatefur proved unsuccessful, I decided to create a new one.

 stargate-furs

Join us and spread the word, fellow furry fans of Stargate! The only way we'll be successful is if people know about us!

My patience has about run out. If I don't hear from him soon I'm just going to cut my losses and go to a different maker. I hate to do that because he's a good guy that does quality work and I considered him a friend, but its kinda beyond ridiculous at this point.

Im still hoping it wont come to that, but in the meantime Im going to start exploring alternatives and getting quotes from other makers. Problem is, I only know of a few and most of them wont work for various reasons. OneFurAll's wait is 1-2+ years. DontHugCacti rejected me when I first emailed them for a quote like a year ago. FirestormSix, MadeFurYou, and ErisValgen are all closed. wildpup11's style is super cute but she doesn't take fullsuit commissions, only partials. My options are limited almost to the point of being nonexistent.

The only other maker I know of thats actually open right now is SparkleKreations. Does anyone have or know someone who has a suit by them and can vouche for their quality?

So Im asking for suggestions, who are some other makers that build cute and high quality suits and are OPEN right now for quotes and commissions?

I would love to get a 3D animation from  h0rs3 at some point, but due to the amount of work that goes into those they are nothing close to cheap. A two character animation would run me $400-600 depending on complexity.

This is just to gauge interest, its most likely gonna be a while off still. Would anyone be interested in being in an animation with me and splitting the cost? I could get a solo one for half the cost (obviously) but that just wouldn't be as much fun XD

If any of you have ever wondered what the rawrbark thing is about...allow my feral cousin to demonstrate:

Rawrbark! Because thats what maneys do, because we're just awesome like that.

Just sayin. Favs are nice, comments are better.

 max-dragon posted the initial sketch for my zombie scene so I thought I'd share.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11897978/

Participants! Including-
Dixie
Night (on the Humvee turret)
Sabine
Sirath (on the other turret)
Rual
Tungsten
And of course Kalak (myself)

If any of you guys want minor changes made now is the time to tell me so I can pass it along to Max-dragon.

I also need to make sure all of you are still wanting to be in the scene, and subsequently the story I'm gonna write to go with it. Last chance for me to remove/change characters.

Thoughts/opinions/insults- go.

I was litterally ROFLing watching this video.

Theres a part of me that feels bad for the guy, you know he was panicking by the time whoever shot this video started recording, but he should've known that road wasnt nearly wide enough to flip a U-turn. And now his career as a trucker is almost surely over. What a fucking idiot

Easy solution to help stay comfortable while suiting! I'm gonna look into getting one myself when my suit is done.

Yes I'm reposting this due to the other one got too cluttered up with unrelated comments.

Anyway! Here's the deal. I often prefer to commission scenes with multiple characters, and to do that I need other characters to include. So if you are interested in potentially having your character(s) included in art with mine, comment below! This isn't just limited to adult art guys! Not everything I commission is adult in nature! The only stipulation is that you watch me. More then fair, right? This journal will remain permanently for me to refer to when picking characters to include in a new commission.

If you want to make it easy for me...include in your comment a ref, and any details that would be useful to me in deciding if your character is a good fit for a particular scene (ie. adult/clean/either, dom/sub, any particular interests, etc etc). Kalak and LuThoro both represent me like two sides of one coin...they (like the real me) are bi and switch so pretty damn easy to play with ;)

Also, if you have any ideas for a scene I would love to hear them, both for clean and adult art. I'm always looking for new ideas!

Please keep unrelated comments to a minimum, thanx.

Copied and pasted from  edwardsebastian's journal because I've been meaning to type up something like this for a while and he saved me the trouble. Over 75% of wrecks involving trucks are not the truck driver's fault!

Seriously guys...do me(and you) a favor: Pay attention when you're near a big truck. I know that they're supposed to be paying attention as well, but that doesn't give you the right to totally ignore safety issues around them.

I know there's a lot of animosity aimed towards big-rig drivers. Some of it is justified, but come the fuck on...We're out there trying to make our living just like you are. The last thing we want is some numbskull doing something stupid and ruining our day(or possibly career if the situation is serious enough). Yeah, truckers can do stupid shit as well and I'm not saying that they don't, however, there has to be some accountability on the non-commercial driver as well. The trucker can't be solely responsible to act safely when they're the one at the disadvantage(larger blindspots, much longer braking distance, limited maneuverability, etc...).

So in order to help you help us, I'm gonna clue you in on a few things that you, as a four-wheeler, can do to help make our jobs a lot easier. Not to mention, keep your ass alive, because lets face it...your 2500lbs sedan versus my 75,000lbs semi-truck...Not even close. So here we go:

1: We need a LOT of room to turn
So we have about 70 feet of vehicle that we have to move from one place to another. That 70 feet pivots about 15 feet from the front of the vehicle. So that leaves about 55 feet of rigid vehicle that we have to get around that turn. This means that we have to swing out pretty wide in order to avoid taking out that telephone pole right there.
The reason I bring this up is because generally we have to set this turn up beforehand in order to make the turn correctly. If it's a right hand turn, this means that there's a chance we will be sitting a little far from the side of the road. This is NOT an invitation for you to squeeze yourself in between the sidewalk and the truck. This is a GREAT way to get run over, especially since there's a large amount of blindspot on that side. That outside wheel will go right up and over the hood of your car.
This also addresses you folks who wanna pull up past the line at the light of the road we're turning onto and prevent us from completing a turn. Stop that. You're just as bad as the people trying to squeeze past us. It's annoying as hell and it's dangerous. So if the truck is about to turn, GET OUT OF ITS WAY!

2: Turn signals are not an indication to speed past the truck
On the topic of turn signals, when we turn one on, it usually means that we want to move over a lane. Since we have very large vehicles, we need a large amount of space to do this, so we tend to signal in advance(or at least I do). However, drivers seems to think that this signal means "I want over, so hurry up and speed past me". This is fine when the car is right next to us, but I've wound up missing my exit before because people blow past me out of fear of "getting stuck behind the truck". If you're behind a semi that wants to move over into your lane, stay back there. Don't try and get past them. Letting them over isn't gonna make you any later than you already are. All you're gonna do is get them cussing, or hell...they might not even see you and move over onto you. Then what? You're REALLY gonna be late.

3: "Why would you stop/pull out like that?"
Seriously...this one is my biggest pet peeve...people suddenly stopping in the middle of the road to turn or pulling out in front of a truck and not getting up to speed.
I'm operating a 75,000lb ballistic missile that (in this certain set of circumstance) is probably going about 40 miles an hour. At that rate of speed, a loaded truck takes approximately 200 feet to come to a complete stop. For those playing the home game, that's a pretty long skidmark. Our trucks do not stop on a dime, and it is absurd for you to behave in a manner that indicates you think they do.
At my old job, the plant workers had a bad habit of running this stop sign connected to the main road. A road that large trucks traveled quite often. I had a pair of close calls myself on that road, people running the stop sign and trying to "beat the truck". Luckily for them, they did. Luckily for them, I was able to react fast enough and get the truck slowed/stopped in time to keep from running them over.
One driver wasn't able to. Lady pulled out in front of him and got hit. The skid marks from the truck were only 35 feet long before the site of the impact. That's how little time she had given him to react. The truck went up and over her car and killed her. The forensics guy determined his truck had been traveling at 26 miles an hour in a 35 zone when he first hit his brakes. 20 miles an hour and it killed her.
Give the truck time to react if you're gonna stop or pull out in front of it. Seriously...

4: Don't automatically assume we know you're there.
Yeah. I know. It's my job to be aware of what's going on around me at all times and to the best of my ability, I am. HOWEVER...climb up into the cab of one of those trucks and you'll see in a big hurry just how much of that rig and the surrounding area you can't immediately see. Those stickers on the back with the "No-Zone" diagrams aren't bullshit. That's how much(if not a little less) of what we cannot see. Just because you are near our vehicle, that doesn't mean we can see you. And if we can't see you, we can't make a safe and accurate decision on how to maneuver our rig and that puts you in danger. So just be safe and give the truck a wide berth.

5: Don't. Fucking. Draft.
Drafting? Sitting close behind a truck to cut down wind resistance and by proxy MPG? That's the stupidest wannabe NASCAR bullshit I've ever heard. I don't care if Mythbusters proved it's legit, it's dangerous as fuck and a great way to get hurt or killed. It ties in with number 4 up there. DON'T. FUCKING. DO IT.

In all seriousness, guys like me have a lot on their plates every day at work on top of guiding these behemoths to their destination. We really would appreciate it if you'd stop and think about how you're acting when around a semi. Don't get up underneath us or in super close. It's dangerous. So just think responsibly when driving near a truck.

TL;DR - Don't do stupid shit around trucks and you might live.

Thought this would lead to some interesting conversation. I'm not talking about a few thousand dollars, I'm talking about something like the Powerball. $200+ million.

Let me tell you what I would do. I'll start by telling you what I would not do...I would not be one of these idiots that blows it all on a mansion and ten Ferraris and ends up going bankrupt within a few years.

Personal spending would be limited. I'd get a modest house on a small piece of land, with a large seperate garage. In this garage I'd have probably three vehicles...a daily driver, probably a pickup (realistically I'd likely keep the F150 I have now), a Nissan 300ZX twin turbo, and a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS454 LS6. My garage would have a lift, and a full set of tools. I'd put back enough to live the rest of my life comfortably, like 3-5 million, and that'd be it for spending on myself.

As for the rest of it. Some would go to charity. Some would be invested in stocks and precious metals. Some would go to friends and family. The vast majority would go to starting a business...part of that business would include a fleet of OTR tractor-trailers but that wouldn't be the only thing my business would do. Starting this business wouldn't be for my own benefit, the focus here would be on the creation of jobs and urban redevelopment. Id buy and rennovate a large abandoned building in an urban area, probably Detroit (because thats the city that needs it the most) or St. Louis (because thats where I'm from), maybe even both. Whatever business my company got into besides trucking, the main goal would be to help people and the economy in general by reclaiming and repurposing unused and derelict buildings and creating as many jobs as possible. This would be my way of not being selfish and spending most if not all my money on things that are just for my own benefit as most who win the lottery probably would/do, but doing my part to get people back to work and contribute something positive to society. Thats a big part of the reason I want to eventually start my own trucking company anyway...my time on this Earth is limited. When I die, I want to die knowing I left a mark, that I did something important with my time here and made a positive contribution to mankind's civilization. Creating jobs, especially in such a bad economy, is one of the best ways I can think of to do that.

So how about you guys? If you won or otherwise somehow received a substantial amount of money like hundreds of millions, what would you do with it? What would you spend it on that would be just for yourself, and once you had everything that you wanted personally, what would you do with the rest of it?

"The UN's human rights office is launching an initiative to support gay rights around the world, in the face of lovely stories like Russia's crackdown on LGBT people (but apparently gay athletes are okay for the Olympics, because we wouldn't want a boycott, right?) and the many other stories you can read on this page.

Not sure there's an action item here, but it's nice to see almost half the world recognize that gay people are, y'know. People. In addition to being gay."

You didn't know that did ya? Yep. According to TransUnion which is one of the three credit reporting agencies here in the US I am officially deceased. I tried to get it fixed a few years ago. They told my I had to fill out some form from the social security administration and mail it to them with two proofs of residence. Sounds easy right? I called the SSA on four separate occasions to request the form, they kept telling me they'd send it but I never got it. I gave up. I don't really care, my credit is permanently fucked anyway cuz I've been through bankruptcy. I just find it amusing more then anything.

So yeah...you guys know a real life zombie! XD

Just for my own reference to keep track of who I owe money and who owes me art. Ignore.

You guys are seriously the best.

As any of you who have been following me for a while know,I've been through some hard times. There was a time years ago thar I was homeless, forced to sleep in my car and later on park benches when my car stopped running and I didn't have the money to fix it. This is something nobody should ever have to go through. Nothing will make you appreciate what you have, like having nothing.

More recently I tried to start a new life with someone I loved, but I fucked it up and was again left with almost nothing. It almost broke me. I put a .45 to my head but didn't quite have it in me to squeeze the trigger. The only thing to do was to go back on the road.

The support and love I have received from this community continues to blow me away. Without you guys I might not still be here. I never felt like I belonged anywhere until I found the furry community. You guys welcomed me with open arms and without judgement. You showed me love when nobody else was. You listen when I'm feeling down and need to vent and talk about it. I truly can't express how grateful I am for that. This is and will always be my home.

After the failure of my last relationship, despite wanting more then anything to find love there was a part of me that felt like I could never allow myself to be that vulnerable again, for fear of being hurt again. But eventually I got over it and was able to move on. Now I feel like Im falling for someone (you know who you are <3) and I've finally gotten to the point where I feel like I can let someone in and allow myself to love again.

Anyway, point being...I am continually amazed by the love and support this community has given me and how you guys have been there providing an ear and a shoulder when nobody else was. You guys fucking rock.

Much love for all of you <3

This is still in the works! I've just been waiting for  dixievonfur to be ready to take on such a large piece. I plan to write a story to go along with it. It may just be one chapter or it may be a longer series. Please comment here with a quick personality description of your characters and any other info about them you think might be useful to me so I can make sure I accurately represent them! Also with your weapon(s)of choice...this part I cannot guarantee but it is information I will pass on to Dixie...one character in the scene will be mowing the hordes down with a Humvee-mounted. 50 cal turret...who wants that spot?

Finally...the scene is maxed out for characters but I have an idea for including as many as three additional characters in the story that would just be "off camera" in the scene so if anyone else wants me to write them into the story comment here with the above info.

Go!
