I'm selling a poster of my Swimsuit Sally Acorn pinup, available in multiple sizes! Get it now at my official store!

I've been here for a while, and I feel I've done enough to earn, I don't know, some 10K? What do you think, is that too much to ask? Or am I being delusional?

Fifth chance: Offering one live-streamed sketch commission to be executed NOW!

Avatar: 30 EUR; Body: 60 EUR.

See my work here or at http://deviantart.com/mykegreywolf.

DM me here, on Discord (Myke#0466) or Telegram (@MykeGreywolf) if you're interested. First come, first served.

I have recently opened up a store on RedBubble, where you can get merch of my original creations!

➔ Myke's RedBubble Store

The latest additions are stickers and magnets of my characters in chibi form.

As of now, only my original works will be included in my store, as I don't feel comfortable making wholesale profit from other people's creations. Yes, everybody does it, but I am not everybody.

If there is anything Myke or Musteladies-related that you feel people would go for, even if it means creating new artwork for it, feel free to hit me up with your idea, and I'll see what I can come up with. ;)

So, erm, even after my recent giveaway, I wasn't really able to garner a particularly notable amount of new watchers. And that's considering that I only seem to be able to get new watchers when I do giveaways.

People still tell me that they feel I should be having a much larger watcher base, but no-one ever seems to be able to give me a good explanation on why that is, that doesn't fall apart when looking at several other artists on this platform. There's always a counter-example.

So, hm, what gives, really? And what is it that I'm supposed to do to fix this, that won't go against my principles, values and aesthetics?

I'm just feeling awful about this.

February commissions are now CLOSED, thank you for your interest, and stay tuned for future commission runs!

Shiny mode enabled!



Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough,
Strut my stuff,
My stuff is so shiny!

Care to make it shinier? ;)

Recently, I was given the opportunity to partner with the Lunar Shine online store for selling merchandise featuring some of my artwork - something that I know many of you who follow my work have been wishing for a long time.

The first item resulting from this partnership has been recently made available here:

Sunset Swimmer Wall Scroll!

This will go great on any brony's wall, and is available in three variants, including two that are exclusive to the store - EQG and caucasian human!

Going forward, you'll be seeing more of my swimsuit pony series available as wall scrolls, both the ones I create from now on, as well as specially remastered versions of my previous pieces in this series, which I'll be working on soon as to ensure the highest quality. If you have any previous piece in the series that you'd like to get as this kind of merchandise, be sure to tell me below, and I'll prioritize its remastering. ;)

As usual, thank you so much for your interest and support. :)

I haven't really been saying a lot here lately, since... well... there is not a lot to say. I lead a tedious existence in a place I hate. I rarely go out on my own accord because there is nothing out there that calls to me. Any developments are few, far between, and usually for the worse.

But... well... along with a recent wave of bad news, this rut has really been getting to me lately, and I feel like I could really use some good news happening to me tonight.
I keep on trying to create nice things, hoping that this will make them happen eventually, but… Nothing ever happens.

Would you happen to know something that I don’t, that could help me believe that things could improve as a fruit of my effort?

Could you give me some good news? News that are good for me?

Please?

Streaming some Musteladies stuff! Come on in!

I am nothing.
All of this... this is nothing.
And therefore I feel that I won't ever amount to anything.

ALL SLOTS HAVE BEEN FILLED. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PREFERENCE. IF YOU DIDN'T GET A SLOT THIS TIME, I AM STILL GRATEFUL FOR YOUR INTEREST, AND HOPE YOU CAN STILL REMAIN TUNED FOR MY NEXT COMMISSION RUN!

Read my terms and prices here: https://mykegreywolf.deviantart.com.....lots-748263533

Thank you for your preference and support. :)

A few hours from now, I'll be flying to Portugal, looking forward to spend the holidays with my family after 3 years away from home. Since I'll be leaving much of my digital art software and hardware behind, this means that my output will be residual during the next 5-6 weeks, and since I won't have broadband Internet access while I'm there, I won't be able to do streams at all.

While I do hope that this break will help me recharge batteries and alleviate the anxiety and depression that have been building up inside me over the years I've resided in Brazil, I will also try my best to use this trip to find new paths that will enable me and my family to move back to Portugal for good, without compromising our sustainability as a family or my ability to bring you new artwork. I'll update you on this front in due time. ;)

I will still be responding to comments and notes here, on Tumblr, and on all of the usual places.

To each and all of you, I wish happy holidays, and for you to make the best of your time with your loved ones, during this and all seasons.

Thank you so much for your support and for validating my efforts by enjoying my work. :)

Okay, it’s time to bring out the big guns!

Since my attempts to mobilize my watchers to help my friend WolfGrrlie (Kira) have been mostly fruitless, I suppose it’s time to offer people more incentive to be generous. Therefore, and since I know that many people have been waiting for me to open up commissions, I’ll be holding auctions for three commission slots. I know that many of you don’t like auctions, but right now, it’s the only way I can think of to get people to help Kira with the generosity her situation demands.

Please read the following rules first, then my Commission Information Sheet before bidding:

- The bid you make is an offer for the price of an SFW, fully detailed, full body, single character drawing. If you win, you’ll still be able to request any extras and options, but the additional charges described in my Commission Information Sheet will be added to your offer (+75% for each additional character, +25% for NSFW, etc). Considering the exceptional nature of this auction, only options that add to the price will change the final price you'll be charged.

- The auction will run for three days after the publishing of this journal entry.

- Contrary to my usual practice, I will ask for payment immediately after receiving the specifications from the winning bidders. This is an urgent matter, and it can't wait until I'm ready to work on each piece. I don't play around with my reputation, so be assured that I'm good for executing the requests as soon as feasible.

- Pieces will be executed in decreasing order of paid amount.

- This auction is being held with the sole purpose of helping Kira and her 2 children to move to a safer location. She still needs plenty of money to be able to afford it, so... please, please be generous, and don’t bid if you can’t pay at the moment the auction ends!

Please bid here:

SLOT A

SLOT B

SLOT C

Thank you so much for helping me help others, and for your continued preference and patronage. :)

My friend Wolfgrrlie (Kira) has been in kind of a pickle for quite a while, and now has the opportunity to escape it - but she needs our help!

For a good while now, she's been forced to share her place with a toxic partner, who constitutes a big health and safety risk to both her and her two young daughters. Having to rely on this person for her subsistence, Kira has spent the last few years walking on broken glass. and trying her best to keep herself and her children out of danger.

Just this last week, she came across an unique opportunity to move away from this environment to one that is far away, close to the support of her own family, and that she sincerely believes would allow her and her kids a new chance at having a life free of fear of this person. However, this opportunity demands quick action, and this action requires a certain amount of money that Kira, jobless at this time, isn't able to gather by herself at this time.

I'm writing this to appeal to my watchers empathy and generosity, and get them to at least look at Kira's GoFundMe fund raising site, and if possible at all, contribute at least a little bit to her moving effort and for a brighter future for her and her children. If each of my watchers on FurAffinity contributed with $5 today, this effort could be successful by tomorrow. Of course, I'm not expecting for this to happen, but it's still nice to imagine - and I'm sure that at least a few of you may be willing to pick up some slack. ;)

If you're not able to make a monetary contribution to her effort at this time, I would request that you spend just a little time spreading the word, reblogging her posts at littlewolfstudios.tumblr.com, signal boosting this journal, and trying to find among your own watchers, friends, family and acquaintances, someone who could lend a helping hand to Kira.

Thank you so much for your attention!

The RNG has spoken, and the results are in! Here are the winners of my 1,000 watcher art giveaway raffle:

- WolfGrrlie
- SomeponysScribbles
- Litrojia

I'll soon be contacting the winners for the details of their prizes. Thank you all so much once again for participating, and stay tuned for more such initiatives during milestones both here in FurAffinity and in my other web presences!

I finally reached one thousand FurAffinity watchers today! With the help of all of you, I'm now closer to the degree of notoriety and exposure that could allow me to provide for myself and even my family with my artwork. There is still a long, long way to go until I get there, but I can't let this moment go by without taking the chance to thank all of my watchers by giving you the thing you signed up as my watchers to see - drawings!

Of course, I already try my best almost every day to create illustrations and comics that are appealing to you, but on this occasion I'll be giving away personalized character drawings to three of you, who I'll be choosing by means of a raffle! Interested yet? ;)

So here are the conditions for entering this raffle. READ CAREFULLY, PLEASE!

- Only my FurAffinity watchers can enter this raffle. New watchers are welcome, of course, but you do need to be my watcher at the time I draw the winning numbers, or it's a no-go.
- Accounts that have no significant activity in FA other than entering giveaways will be disqualified. I know you're not one of those, but just in case!

- Each watcher may acquire multiple numbers for entering the raffle. The more numbers you get, the better odds you'll have to win one of the prizes! Here is how to get your numbers:
--- The first number must be acquired by commenting on this journal. Do that and you'll be in the raffle. But there's more!
--- More numbers can be acquired if you can prove in your comment that you are my follower on any of the following sites and social networks (one number per site). Just tell me what your username is in that site. I WILL CHECK! Tumblr (either the SFW art blog or the personal blog), DeviantArt, Picarto and Twitter.
--- You can get up to three extra numbers by having other entrants refer you in their entry comments, one number for each user that refers you. Go and spread the word, or offer a number to someone you love! Each entry can only refer one other user, and the referred user must also have entered on their own for this to count.

- Entries will be accepted until the end of July 21, 2017, Brasília time (UTC-2)
- Both the tallying of the numbers assigned to each user, and the drawing of the three winning numbers will be performed on July 22, 2017.
- Only one prize per user. Numbers will be drawn until numbers assigned to three different users are obtained.
- The three winners will be announced publicly in a journal on my profile, and contacted by personal note for settling the details of their prize. If no reply to this note is received within 5 days of sending, it will be considered that this person forfeited their prize, and a new winning number will be drawn to replace them.
- Each prize consists of a half body, bust-up or headshot drawing of a single character of the winner's choosing. Headshot drawings may optionally be formatted as icons or badges.
- The prizes will be executed in the order of the replies to the sent notes, at a time of my convenience.

There you go! Thank you for all of your support, I hope you’ll continue to enjoy my work, and I’ll be looking forward to your entries! Good luck!

ATTENTION: All slots have been filled, and commissions are now closed for the time being. This journal is now supplied for informational purposes only.

Here is the moment that some of you have been waiting for for quite a while! I'm opening up for commissioned work, with 10 slots for the first customers who contact me with serious business propositions. This post will serve as a hub for this run's commission information and queue control. If you have any doubts regarding my terms and conditions, feel free to comment here, and I'll reply as quickly as I can!

To get a commission from me, please send me a private message if you're interested and serious about it. I will only accept commission requests through private messages. Please indicate in your message the intended service level, specification of characters, detailed description of scene and pose (or concession of artistic freedom for the portrayal), links to visual references if available, and requests for optional features as established in the terms included below, so that I am able to budget your request.

I will accept commission requests through the following message systems:
- Email sent to mykegreywolf@gmail.com.
- Private messages sent through DeviantArt, Tumblr or FurAffinity.

The commission queue will be shown and updated exclusively in this journal entry.

I'll accept orders for, and do my best to portray, any character that you may want me to draw, but please keep in mind that I have more experience with anthro creatures, humanoids, and ponies, and therefore better results can be expected for those kinds of characters.

- Base prices for a full body drawing of a single character with an existing design are, depending on the service level:
- Line art: 25 EUR
- Cel shaded: 40 EUR
- Fully detailed: 50 EUR

- Included in these prices:
- Simple clothing, if desired (Examples: casual pants or skirt with shirt and shoes; Simple sundress; Swimwear; Gym wear; Plain business or formal attire)
- For the "fully detailed" service level, a simple abstract background made to match the character and scene's mood.

- Not included in these prices:
- Original designs (defined as designs for which there is no existing visual reference)
- Elaborate garments and hair styles (For instance, but not limited to: armor, gala dresses, period clothing)
- Complex mechanical designs.
- Complicated accessories (jewelry, weapons, etc.).
- Props (chairs, vehicles, etc.).
- Complex backgrounds.

- All above elements can be included in the order upon negotiation of an additional charge that depends on their complexity, evaluated on a case-to-case basis.
- For each outfit variation on each character (including nude version, excluding exceptionally elaborate garments), add 20% extra over the base price of that character.
- For each additional character on the same drawing, add 75% extra over the base price.
- Subtract 20% from the price for a half body drawing (cut at the crotch).
- Subtract 40% from the price for a bust drawing (cut at the chest).
- Add 25% to the price for sexually explicit portrayals. Mere nudity doesn't count for this as long as I deem it non-sexual in nature.
- Payment is to be made upon issuing of an invoice and before execution of the drawing. Execution of the work will only begin once payment is confirmed.
- Payment through Paypal only.
- The finished piece will be signed, and I will reserve every right over it, including, but not limited to the right to use it as part of any of my galleries, exhibitions and portfolios.
- I will refund payment if for some reason I am unable to complete the job. No refunds will be performed for any other reason.

As for content guidelines, here are a few:

- Any character of any species and gender will be accepted. Best results can be expected for anthro creatures, humanoids and ponies.
- No gore. Small wounds, scars and some visible blood are acceptable, but no bare flesh or internal organs.
- Fetish material and other non-specified questionable subjects can be refused at my discretion. Some examples of fetish subjects that I will refuse to portray are lolicon, scat, non-consensual intercourse, inflation and guro. I advise asking me about it before applying.

- By requesting a commission from me, you accept to abide by all rules and conditions above listed.

Current queue and progress:
- thunderblitz1 from DeviantArt - Anthro bat pony Dusk Eclipse in swimsuit, cel shaded - PAID - FINISHED

- wptaimuty from DeviantArt - Anthro unicorn pony Steam Shadow, fully detailed

Thank you for your preference and for your support!

Now here is something that I hope one of my watchers is able to help me with: What am I missing?

I have been trying to make inroads into FurAffinity for a while now, and I feel that progress has been really slow. So I'd like to reach out to you and ask: what is keeping me from being able to reach a larger amount of people on this site?

Is it that my themes and subjects aren't really interesting, appealing or eye-catching?

Is it that I'm just not good enough yet?

Is it that I fail to engage with the community?

Is it that I don't draw enough smut?

What do you think? What do you feel I could do to improve my exposition and notoriety without having to sacrifice the essence and feel of my works, therefore alienating the following I already managed to garner? I could really use your help to figure out how to make more progress towards being able to provide for at least myself with my artwork!

Thank you so much for your attention and support. :)

Coloring some Them’s Fightin’ Herds anthro sketches, and going to raffle sketches in between pieces. Wink wink, nudge nudge. ;)

(Commissions now closed, stay tuned for my next commission run!)

As to be able to gather funds to help some of my friends make their dreams come true, I'm once again opening up character drawing commissions! This time, I am not going to set a fixed amount of slots, but instead use a money goal. Until I reach the set amount of 300 Euros in pledged commission payments, I'll just keep on adding slots.

The commission client list and payment tally will be maintained exclusively in this dA journal:
