Please stop complaining
Posted 5 years agoPlease stop complaining about the new FA format. The old one is being RETIRED. It's time to move on.
Sorry, just a little rant. I've been seeing so many people complaining about the new format for FA and I'm fucking sick of it. It's like people complaining about Windows 10 where they want to go back to Windows 7. THAT'S TOO BAD. The old one is no longer being SUPPORTED. Meaning no more security updates, no more technical support, zilch, nada, NOTHING.
I'm sorry if you don't like the new format. Just give it a shot.
Edit: I want to clarify that I actually like this change.

Upload Overload!
Posted 6 years agoApologize for the mass uploading. I FINALLY had time to post the backlog of pictures I had. Don't worry though, there are a few more pictures I have left to upload them it'll be back to the shadows I go. Always lurking, always watching.
Question(s)
Posted 6 years agoDoes anyone know of artists that are really good at drawing armor/weapons/etc.? I've got a cool idea that I've been sitting on for awhile now but I haven't found any. (Though I wouldn't act on this idea just yet, just in the planning process.)
Also, does anyone know of some good Second Life skin modders? I have all of the things I'd like for my character in SL but I don't know of anyone that can do a reskin. (Though there's probably a store somewhere that offers this kind of service.)
Otherwise, I have more pics to upload! Soon!

1 Year Anniversary
Posted 6 years agoWell holy crap! Yesterday marks the one year anniversary of me getting my sona, Sherri Aura!
Wow! Just wow. I really can't wrap my head around that I've come this far and have met so many people in such a short amount of time!
I love you all and I look forward to the time ahead!
Hopefully I'll get back to uploading soon!
Thank you all for enlightening my furry experience and let's make this year even better!

Life
Posted 6 years ago*Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiighs*
Well first some good news, my semester is almost done. Only a few weeks more (a little less than three really). I've been trying to balance everything but it's wearing on me.
Bad news, my PC's MBR got corrupted last night. I know it's fixable but to do that I needed an updated version of the windows repair/recovery tool. And to do THAT, I needed to update my laptop. So guess who spent literally 6+ updating my laptop?
<-- this dragon.
SCREAMS
The plus side is that my laptop FINALLY finished downloading and preinstalling those updates, so when I get home, all I have to do is let it install. Then I can create a newer repair/recovery tool USB.
Computers suck sometimes. X"D

I'm not dead ... again!~
Posted 6 years agoGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH......
School and work have kept me from doing anything, with regards to this site. i had wanted to upload a bunch of stuff a few weeks ago, but a series of events made that impossible. Nothing bad, mind you, just a bunch of stuff that prevented me from uploading.
Anywho, uploads will be on hold until I can fit time in to do so. And it wouldn't be a mass upload like last time, it'd be one or two uploads here and there.
As for all of the recent watches (and all of you who've been following me for awhile now) thank you! I really appreciate that you find me and the artwork I get something worth watching me for.
Thank you! ^.=.^

A Quick Update
Posted 6 years agoHeyo you all!
I just wanted to say that no, I'm not dead, I've just been really busy with work and school. I'm trying to finish out my degree this semester and I've been so busy that I haven't had the time to upload any pics. Speaking of which, I've got like 30-ish pics to upload? I think? I'm hoping that I can upload a few tonight/tomorrow. Hopefully. xD
Anywho, I hope you're all doing well and stay awesome!

900 Watchers!! and a little announcement...
Posted 6 years agoWOOOO!!! 900 WATCHERS!!!
Thank you all for supporting, watching, faving, and commenting on all of my submissions! I really do appreciate you all and here's hoping we hit that 1000 mark soon!
That being said, I would like to announce a few things:
1. I have just finished up classes for the semester and I'm now on break. I have over a dozen pictures in my backlog and I will uploading them this week before the holidays, so expect a flood of submissions from me. XD
2. As I said before, my classes are done for this semester, HOWEVER, next semester is going to be hell since I will be taking three classes all online. Since I have a full-time job, the time after work will be dedicated to getting schoolwork done. What this means for you all is that, I will not be uploading or commissioning artists for quite some time.
3. Around the middle of February, I will be attending Anthro New England! I will be getting a ANE badge with Sherri on it, so if you see me, just come up and say hello!
That's all for now and thank you all again! Say classy! ^ .=. ^
EDIT: had to redact the raffle, I've looked at my finical situation and unfortunately, that's not going to happen, not for a long time. But I will be doing something, hopefully.

This is not me.
Posted 7 years agookay i'm just going to put this out here: https://twitter.com/MeganDragoon/
you see anything familiar there? hmm? yeah i'm fucking mad. they've used art that i paid for and they're posting it as their own. THIS TWITTER IS NOT MY TWITTER.
They're also using art from artists and not crediting them. so yeah, report them. i DO NOT tolerate people impersonating me, nor do i tolerate art theft.
my Twitter name is the same as here: murphdog41
Edit: I am aware that my Twitter uses my real name. This does not bother me currently since, as I've said before, I don't use Twitter very often.

A message for fans of Sherri (and of my other characters)
Posted 7 years agoThis journal is meant to only inform you all. Nothing sentimental or sappy (though I will take a moment to say I seriously appreciate all of the love and support you all have shown for my characters, especially Sherri! <3). If you were concerned when you read the title, don't worry; it's nothing like that. I just wasn't sure what title to use.
Rather, I figured I might as well just try something and see what happens, because, as the title says... why not?
I know most of you are overwhelmingly male and I'm genuinely ok with that! I post art of Sherri (as well as all of my other characters) for everyone to enjoy, and if you like the character, I encourage you to continue enjoying that art no matter what your gender is, what your sexuality is... really no matter who you are or how you identify yourself, if you like Sherri, please, by all means: I post all of this art for everyone.
However, this leads me into the main reason of why I'm even writing this at all...
While I have nothing personally against guys, trans, etc., when it comes to sexual preferences, sometimes no matter how much you wish you weren't so narrow with your preferences, what turns you on is what turns you on, and what doesn't ... simply doesn't. Maybe it was the religious upbringing, maybe it was some childhood trauma that I've long since buried, or maybe I'm just too into boobs, but I prefer women. Females that are genetically female, always have been female, intend on continuing to be female--I certainly don't want to scare anyone off, and I absolutely don't want to offend anyone, but the simple truth is that I'm not in to guys, I'm not into trans, I'm not into anyone who's sex and/or gender could be described as "it's complicated"...
I'm straight. End of story.
But more times than I care to count, when someone messages me out of the blue trying to hit on me, flirt with me, get to know me, etc., they don't fit that description.
So, here's the thing:
I know this message will only apply to a very select few of you. In fact, depending on who even ends up reading this, I realize it's possible that it might not apply to any of you at all.
But if you've read this far, then I have a request of you, so please, keep reading.
If you--not your character, but you, sitting behind the keyboard, reading this journal--if you're one of the few female watchers I have, this message is for you:
I know not all of you would be interested in chatting. Some of you are just here for the art, and hey, if that's the case, I respect that. Hell, given the nature of most of the art I post, I wouldn't even be shocked if some of you are already in a relationship that would make it really awkward starting a conversation with someone who you know mostly only because of the lewd art he posts.
But here's the thing: as a straight male, it would be nice to hear from some of my female fans from time to time. While it's entirely possible that our conversation might go nowhere, and we might find that we really don't have much to talk about, who knows: maybe we'd get along quite well. After all, if you like the art I post, in theory we at least have something in common, even if it's a lewd something.
Simply put: I'd love to chat with you.
Of course, I don't want to give any false illusions, so allow me to be up front: It probably comes as no surprise that I can be very lewd in the right company, but despite that, I much prefer being naughty around those that I genuinely care about. Ideally, I'd love to find someone who I care about as a friend just as much as I'm interested in as a partner. Think "friends with benefits", with equal emphasis on both friends and benefits.
And I know this journal is already a massive wall of text, but I do have one last thing to add.
If you just so happen to be the shy type that's reading all this, thinking it sounds amazing, wanting to say hello, but feeling too nervous to be the first to send a message: I would happily message you first, but I have no way of knowing who you are without you telling me. So, if that is you, then please, consider this message my "hello" to you. All I ask is you find the courage to at least say "hi" back. All it takes is that one “hello” to start things off, and who knows, maybe I’m the guy for you.
Plus, I won't lie: I don't want to sound too much like a cliché guy and scare anyone off before we've even had a chance to talk, but honestly? The kind of female that’s the shy, submissive type that's almost embarrassed to admit how ridiculously over-the-top their sex drive is really, really sexy in my book--so you're genuinely not going to bother me by being a bit shy or too lewd.
If course, I've already almost written an essay here just to get to the point:
If you've read through all of the above, if you feel it describes you, and you're still here: Contact me. Start up a conversation. Even if it's just a simple "hello", it would be nice to hear from some of you.
You can reach me on Discord, just note me your profile ID and I’ll add you!
I hope to hear from you soon. :3

Caerulus for his recent journal that hits the proverbial nail right on the head.

A Little About Me
Posted 7 years agoI thought it might be a good idea to make a journal about myself.
I'm a 25 year old heterosexual male. I like biking, camping, hiking, and being outdoors. But at the same time, I love being a hermit and not going out at all.
I'm a PC gamer who's into watching movies, TV, anime, and video games.
I'm a kind, loyal, helpful, charming, and trustworthy person.
I'm looking for a female about the same age as I am. I would prefer a relationship within the US, however, I'm willing to make long distance relationships work.
I should clarify my definition of "female". I have nothing against transgenders, it's just that my preference is a person who has been female since birth.
My sona is Sherri Aura: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/27389756/
She's a magic casting, Western Dragon variant.
Anime:
-Girls und Panzer
-Space Battleship Yamato 2199
-Yu Yu Hakusho
-Trigun
-Gate
-Death March
-Hellsing
-The Saga of Tanya the Evil
-Overlord
-PsychoPass
I know I'm forgetting a few...
Movies:
-The Hunt for Red October
-Zootopia
-Avatar (James Cameron one)
-October Sky
-Richie Rich
A bunch of others and probably forgetting a few here as well.
Games:
-Elite Dangerous
-Half Life
-Destiny 2
-Divinity Original Sin 2
-Fallout 3, NV, and 4
-Minecraft
Once again, probably forgetting a bunch.
I use Discord as my PRIMARY means of communication.
Please note me if you'd like to know more about me.
