I am open for commissions again! 4 slots will be open for June.

Please note that the actual price of the commission will vary depending on complexity.

Make sure to check my twitter and FA journals for updates on whether I am currently open for commissions or not.

Make sure to read my TOS (Terms of Service) for vital information before contacting me for a commission.

You can message me on FA, Discord, Bluesky, Deviantart, or Twitter for inquiries.

To whoever finds this, whether you are a friend, a watcher, a lurker, or just someone passing by, I have something very important to tell you: You matter.

It doesn't matter if you think you don't matter, if other people think you don't matter, or if you somehow think that the creator of all existence thinks you don't matter specifically because you masturbate to weird gay furry porn. Even if nothing mattered, you would be free from objective meaning and allowed to decide that for yourself that you subjectively matter. You matter, no matter what. Do not let anyone else, most especially not any government, tell you otherwise.

Your existence, your story, your life, they all have a purpose, even if you cannot see it yet. Your weirdness, your fursonas, your OCs, your kinks and fetishes, your strange arousal over characters losing their dimensions, these are not accidents, mistakes, or flaws. They are part of something greater.

I will not tell you whether you should believe in a higher power or not, I'm sure a lot of you are quite sick of the idea, especially considering all the hate the so-called people of faith spew, especially considering all the suffering in the world, and most especially if you feel that you were given a shit hand in life. But know this: if a higher power exists, believe that they love you, no matter how paradoxical it may seem right now. If you are not inclined to believe in such a bold claim, then understand that there is freedom in choosing to love yourself and others and by continuing to live as a rebellion and as your own act of creation in this seemingly absurd and meaningless universe.

You will likely not immediately get what I'm trying to say, but I hope that you will one day find the answer for yourself. It may take some time and it may take some suffering, but believe that it will come to you one day, no matter how bleak or hopeless things may seem right now or in the future. Until then, never give up, never surrender!

If you want to talk about anything, whether its sharing your worries, philosophical stuff, or just the simple joy of turning anthros into pancakes, leave a comment or send me a note!

Some of you already know that Malletspace is not my “main account”.

I have an older account that I’ve been using since I joined the furry fandom. Before the pandemic, I really enjoyed posting art on it (a lot of Star Fox and Fox x Wolf), connecting with other artists, and making friends.

But then, a LOT of things changed.

I became less obsessed with drawing Star Fox stuff. I became interested in doing more original art and exploring other genres like history and fantasy. And finally, the biggest of all, I could no longer hold myself back from drawing weird kinky art.

On Feb 22, 2021, I created a “burner” account and said “fuck it, I’m gonna post this horny flattened wolf online and see how people react”. I was prepared to get laughed at. Instead, I gained several new friends, a new community, and a new passion for (kinky) art. It was awesome.

But as I fell in love with drawing this kink. I found myself losing a lot of passion for drawing normal SFW stuff.

When I draw flattening on this account, I can easily imagine hundreds of fun ideas to play around with, and hundreds of characters to subject them to. There’s always a story to tell with how the character in question got turned into a pancake and I really love the little bits of toony worldbuilding I get to do. Its just so much fun to mess around with. I also really love all the comments I get. I really read all of them and I really wish FA had a like button for that, because I might have enjoyed what you had written down but couldn’t think of a good enough response to it. But yeah, I just love everything that comes with drawing flattening.

Whenever I go back to drawing normal SFW art on my main account, my mind goes blank. Those clear and easy ideas are gone. I find myself overwhelmed by all the things I could draw, and yet, lacking in passion to do any of them. And even when I do get to finally draw something, its just not as fun. I feel like I have to play the game of the algorithm or get left in the dust. Especially on a site like Twitter, where one piece randomly gets 2000 likes and everything else gets 20. The comments aren’t as fun either. It’s just become so much harder for me to enjoy drawing normal stuff again.

So yeah, having two art accounts that are so drastically different from each other kinda sucks, lol. Malletspace started as an AD account, but its grown to be bigger than my main. I love this kink, but I feel like its really changed the way I enjoy furry art. I guess this whole story can serve as what to expect when you find your niche in kink.

I'm writing this because I'm overjoyed by how many of you messaged me saying that you really resonated with the asexual microlabel aegosexual.

There are a LOT of misconceptions about asexuality, especially when it comes to asexual attitudes toward sexual content. To oversimplify it a bit, yes, asexuals can enjoy sexual content.

Using the definitions given by AVEN (The Asexual Visibility & Education Network), an asexual person is "someone who does not experience sexual attraction or an intrinsic desire to have sexual relationships". Sexual attraction is further defined as "desire to have sexual contact with someone else or to share our sexuality with them".

If you masturbate to sexual content but do not feel sexually attracted to people or desire sex with another person in real life, you may still be asexual.

Aegosexuality, which was previously known as autochorissexuality, is a label used to describe those who feel "disconnection between oneself and a sexual target/object of arousal". Basically, you have sexual fantasies, but lack a desire to actually be a participant in the sexual activities.

If you're reading this, you likely enjoy my "kinky toony furry flattening" art. Its so far removed from reality that its no surprise a lot of you really resonate with the term aegosexual, especially if you're one of the people who feel "sexually attracted" to anthros, but not to real people.

Personally, (and this will get personal) I felt confused and alone for a really long time.

Before I discovered and joined the furry fandom (at about 15 years old), I never really thought about by own sexuality. Hell, I hardly knew anything about sex either, because I went to a very conservative single-sex school that didn't even have the most basic sex ed. I assumed I was straight, but I could never really relate to any of the conversations people were having about "hot female celebrities". When I finally joined the furry fandom I learned more about LGBT topics and eventually came across asexuality, which resonated a bit with me, but even then, I felt confused; I found masculine anthros "sexually attractive", but I couldn't translate that sexual attraction to real life men. Still, I thought that once I "lose my virginity", I'd feel different.

When I was 18, I finally did it, and I didn't feel different.

I really was asexual, or at least, gray asexual, but I couldn't find the right word to describe my exact feelings until... just a few weeks ago.

I guess my whole point with this is that you are never alone in your feelings, no matter how weird they are, and that micro-labels are actually really helpful in finding the words to those feelings, even if the vast majority of people may never learn or memorize that specific term. I don't think I'll ever tell anyone outside of kink-friendly spaces that I am aego (not everyone needs to know about my porn preferences), but its the term that works for me.

I hope you all have a great pride month!

Commissions are open again!

I'll try to keep them as open as possible from May until July.

If you asked to reserve a slot over the past few months while I was closed, please contact me again to claim your slot!

Make sure to read my TOS (Terms of Service) for vital information before contacting me for the commission.

I'm conducting a quick survey related to commission prices and expectations. No sign-in is required and responses are 100% anonymous. It should take less than 5 minutes. Answering this will be a great help! Thank you in advance to everyone who chooses to answer this form!

I've been thinking for a while now about opening up a Patreon to help support my work, and offer a place to upload certain files. For those who have one, has it been worth it? And what are some suggestions for pricing tiers?

Anyone here visited/live in Tokyo? Where should I look for furry/kemono themed stuff, or even toony themed stuff? Asking for a friend. :)

I’m really curious to know others thoughts on SFW and NSFW flattening. I asked about this on a poll on Twitter some time back but I can’t seem to find it now. I know a lot love it when it involves genitals, while I know others are put off by seeing the genitals and just enjoy flattening on its own. I’ve been meaning to make more SFW/suggestive version of my NSFW stuff, but I also want to know others thoughts on it too.

I'm open for commissions again, but I'll be prioritizing those on the waitlist! Please message me again if you're on the waitlist and you'd still like to continue getting a commission!

To help streamline getting in touch with me, I’ve created a linktree that contains all my links and contact info! You can find it at: https://linktr.ee/malletspace

If there’s anything you wanted to ask me anonymously, you can do it on my CuriousCat. Hammer away!

I am really sorry for the sudden stop in communications between mid-November last year and now. I got caught up between work, school, and family obligations. I should have made an announcement about it beforehand, but I had a lapse of judgement. Moving forward, I’ll try to be more communicative and responsive to your messages. I’ll do my best to steamroll through the challenges of this year and pump out more work for all of you!

I've received about 22 requests for a commission in less than 24 hours and sadly, I can't accept them all. What I can do for now is add those who are interested to a waitlist. We can discuss your commission in advance, gather ref images, and get a quote. Once a slot frees up, I'll notify you.

It's been quite a hectic day haha, but I'm really glad that so many of you are willing to support me. Thank you all!

After a year and a half of promising to open up for commissions, they're finally here.

Six slots are free for the taking!

Make sure to read my TOS (Terms of Service) for vital information before contacting me for the commission.

I've gotten dozens of commission requests over the past year or so. If this batch of commissions goes well for me, I will open up for more in the next month or so.

I asked a question on Twitter about the earliest flattening art and the origins of recognizing flattening as a fetish/community, and it turned into a pretty lively discussion!

You can check out the tweet here: https://twitter.com/malletspacead/s.....VK9sFTlR91zpPg

I’ll leave some questions we’re trying to figure out here:

1. What was the earliest depiction of flattening in animation?
2. What was the earliest flattening art?
3. What was the earliest explicit flattening art? (No doubt that its pornographic in nature)
4. When did people recognize flattening as its own fetish/kink/community?

Feel free, to add more questions along the way.

FINALLY DONE YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

That was fun but pretty exhausting, I don’t think I’ll do it again. Maybe.

I still have some NSFW Flattober alts to show y’all.

Which was your favorite Flattober flattening?

If you have Twitter, you can also follow me at https://twitter.com/malletspacead for tweets and retweets!

What do you guys want to see me draw this month? Just like last time, you can request any character from any movie, tv show, game, etc. though I do have a preference for anthropomorphic animals. Likewise, you can also request any wacky toony situation and it can be as SFW or NSFW though please try to keep it in line with the kind of stuff I’ve been posting. I’ll try my best to accommodate as many of your requests as possible, but please keep in mind that I likely won’t draw all of them. Anyways, I look forward to hearing (and maybe drawing) your requests/suggestions!

It’s been two months since I joined, and today I’ve passed 100 followers!

Before I say anything else, I just wanna thank all of you for sharing with me the same weirdly specific fixation with flat toons, and for also just being excellent people overall.

Now, as some of you already know, I plan to open up proper commissions sometime in the near future. I can’t say when exactly, but right now I have other priorities to attend to and I also need to finish my fursona’s ref sheet (he’s a hyena who is quite eager to swing around his mallet). So, it’ll be a bit longer before I can really say when I’m ready for commissions.

Aside from formal commissions, I plan to post a monthly journal where you can shoot me suggestions/requests for stuff you want me to draw. Exactly like the first journal I posted here, but I put up a new one every month to remind you that your ideas are always welcome.

Welp, that’s all the time I’ve got. I gotta get back to making “pancakes” 😉

Hey guys! I’d like to know what characters or situations you want to see be featured more often in my stuff. You can request any character from any movie, tv show, game, etc. though I do have a preference for anthropomorphic animals. Likewise, you can request any wacky toony situation and it can be as SFW or NSFW though please try to keep it in line with the kind of stuff I’ve been posting. Anyways, I look forward to hearing (and maybe drawing) your requests!
