Back in Action
Posted 5 years agoI've been on a hiatus for almost 2 years but I'm back and ready to make some fun stuff! I just completed a new fursuit head that I've posted in my gallery and I have lots of ideas for new projects. Time to get to work!
Fursuit Auction
Posted 8 years agoHey everyone! I have one artistic liberty fox or wolf fursuit slot up for auction on furbuy. Bidding starts at only $300. My heads normally sell for $500 so if bidding goes up over that I'll add in other parts like a tail, paws, etc. The auction ends in about 2 weeks!

Sorry I'm not Around Much!
Posted 8 years agoHey I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm not on here a whole lot. So if I don't respond to a note or comment I'm sorry! You can find me over on Furry amino as Manic Malli or on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. I respond to everyone on those sites!
I'm back!
Posted 8 years agoSorry for the inactivity lately. I couldn't get FA to work on my phone. I have lots of new creations to share! I'm now taking handpaw commisions as well. So much has been going on lately! I hope my friends here have been well!
Lots to do
Posted 9 years agoSuddenly my custom wings have become very popular and my Etsy store is blowing up. It's not so busy that I can't keep up or anything just way busier than normal. Even my tails and ears have been getting ordered much more. It's actually nice. Not just because it means I have more income and can actually buy food and such for myself but because I love making these things and I'm so happy when people are enjoying them because alot of love went into making each item. I hope I can keep making others happy with my creations!
Friends From Everywhere
Posted 9 years agoTo me the best part of any Fandom is of course the people. Going to cons or furry and even cosplay events is such a wonderful experience. All these fandoms have such amazing online communities. Whether it be us furries, or star trek fans, or bronies, or anime enthusiasts, we all have many amazing people to interact with, learn from, and become friends with too. But to see all that in person, especially at a mixed Fandom con like the one I just went to, is so incredible. People from all walks of life come together in one place to talk and play games and just have fun! Of course there's always a few bad eggs that show up but for the most part it's just unique people just like you and I coming together to share all the stuff they love. Barriers between sex and race and even fandoms themselves are broken in order for everyone to just enjoy each other's company. This is why I don't care what the outside world thinks of us. Because we all know what matters and that is each other!
Super Excited!
Posted 9 years agoEver just get so excited that you want to jump around and cry and shout and run in circles and do that floppy hand excitement thingy? That's how super duper excited I am for my first con booth! Oo I can't wait! I'm also super nervous too so please wish me luck! If you happen to be in the Hartford, CT area come to Connecticon! I'd be happy to see my furry friends!
No Subject
Posted 9 years agoI know there's alot of trust issues among artists and buyers or suitmakers and their customers. A lot of people have been scammed before. Alot of suitmakers and artists have had people be nasty to them no matter how accommodating they are or how hard they try to please them. We can't let those situations ruin our interactions with others. Yes I've been scammed before and yes I've had people be unsatisfied with me no matter how hard I try but if I could do it over I would still try to help them and I would still buy those things that I never recieved. Without trust we can never really connect to people. So take a leap of faith and let go of your doubts. There is always a chance to get hurt and you should be smart about things and protect yourself. At the same time you have to respect people and give them the benefit of the doubt. If your reading this I hope you can give your trust to every furry(or anyone) you meet. Don't let the past keep you from connecting with them!
A Bright Light
Posted 9 years agoAmong any Fandom there will be those who are unkind or judgement. I believe it is the job of those who are kind of heart to prove to them that being nice and showing love to others is so important and feels amazing. The more we put aside judgement and hate the more our lives will improve. We can't change everyone. Their will always be hate in the world. But we can still change ourselves and show the kindness to everyone we see. Doing that will help us feel so much happier because we will know we are cause a chain of positivity. Don't judge. Be kind. Show love. And you will find happiness in return.
Free Ears Giveaway
Posted 9 years agoHey guys just wanted to let everyone know that I'm doing a lottery style giveaway for a suprise pair of ears. The raffle in on my companies Facebook page The Manic Macaw. Just go to the page and check out the post for the giveaway. Completely free no strings attached I just like giving stuff away cause it makes people happy which makes me happy! I try to do one every few months atleast. I hope a lot of people get a chance at it!
Build Them Up
Posted 9 years agoI know i haven't been on here much lately and just wanted to share my reason. I've been struggling with depression and other mental/emotional disorders my entire life. Recently I was hospitalized because I just lost hope for myself and my faith in others. It's just seemed like the world was so dark and that no one really cares for others anymore. I'm not writing this for sympathy or to get attention. I'm writing this because I have learned in the past month that so many people are struggling with the same thing. Alot of people think the bad outweighs the good. People tend to focus on knocking others down instead of building them up. There is a constant feeling of judgment in our lives. And everyone is guilty of judging other people too. Even me. And I want to make a change. I want to have hope. Because we can still build others up. We can still put positivity into each others lives. We need to stop comparing ourselves. We are all unique. We are all beautiful and all have talent. No matter how small or simple that talent may seem it is still important. You are important. I am important. And we can make a change in the way we view each other and ourselves. Build each other up and you will love each person and yourself.
So Much Fur!
Posted 9 years agoI look like I just walked through a furnado. I'm covered! Been really busy with orders and last night one came in for 10 pairs of ears. Just from one order. Busy season has started and from now until after halloween I'm gonna get busier and busier. Plus I'm preparing for my first table at a big convention. Which is awesome but overwhelming at times. Wish me luck in this crazy business adventure!
Show Some Love
Posted 9 years agoEver watch the news and wonder why there's just so much negativity in the world? I think alot of good really does happen but the press doesn't report on it too much because the negative is more "interesting." We'll I'm not interested in it. Not one bit. I wanna see stories about all the little things people do to show their fellow men/women that they care. I believe strangers should be treated with the same kindness and respect as your friends and family. So hold the door for the person behind you. Let someone go ahead of you in line. Give a smile to everyone that passes by. Little things like that can make a huge difference in someone's day. Always be kind. You never know how much your kindness can really affect someome. It could change their day completely. So no matter what's on the news or how bad the world seems, look for all the little acts of kindness and show some love to everyone you meet.
Frustration
Posted 9 years agoWhat do you do when you get so frustrated that you can't seem to do anything? Like that moment when you can't get something right so you(already getting annoyed) try to fix it or redo it just to have the same thing keep happening. It's like being frustrated makes what you're doing not work which makes you more frustrated which makes it harder to do what you're doing! Some people just take a break when that happens. Me, I just get so annoyed that I can't stop thinking about it till it's done. Maybe I should just go read order doodle or cuddle my birds when that happens. I wonder what everyone else does to get past those creative roadblocks. Someday I'll figure out how to get through them without overworking myself.
Being a Furry
Posted 9 years agoI just wanted to share with everyone some positive vibes about being a furry and what I think being a part of this Fandom really means. To me being a true furry means being kind and accepting to all others. It means connecting with others and sharing a special part of you that otherwise might never get shown at all. Although there are some bad eggs out there I think most of the Fandom is full of amazing, talented, sweet, and just plain wonderful people. We all come from different situations to share in something really awesome. Whether we create art or just enjoy the art of others, role play online, larp in real life, or even if we just enjoy the friendships and bonds we get to form, we are all connected. And that my furry friends is an incredible thing to be a part of.
Respect the Artists
Posted 9 years agoSo I recently had an issue with someone on here that wanted me to do some art for them. I for some reason agreed to do it for free. Was expecting a trade or something but they didn't want that. The drawing they wanted was something super complex with multiple figures and I just couldn't do it. I offered a badge instead and it was actually coming out beautifully. The person then said they didn't have a use for a badge and got mad at me for not doing what they wanted and I couldn't do. I blocked them and am now being threatened by them through DA. The point is if someone is offering free art you should be grateful and happy that they're willing to take they're time to make you something special. Not ask for more. I love the people I do art for. I love making people happy. Free art is a gift I occasionally give to brighten someone's day. So please, respect artists and don't treat them like their art means nothing. We just want to make people happy with our craft.
Finally Caught Up!
Posted 9 years agoSo my creations are finally up to date on here. I should have been uploading to FA all along but I have trouble with the site on my phone. Now I think I got it mostly figured out and am ready to check out some art and meet some new furry friends that are creative and fun like me! It took forever to upload all my submissions from when I wasn't using the site. If I keep up with it now I should be all good. I hope you all enjoy some of my work because I certainly enjoy making it all! Goodnight Everyone!
