I've been practicing doodling naughty things for myself and wanna try taking NSFW commissions
Think I'll raise price if that's all I get and I want to get more SFW ones too but for now same price as digital SFW pricesheet:
https://scruffybrush.ca/

Specifically I'd be curious to try
- Gentle macro/micro
- Hyper
- Growth/TF/Merge
- Maws/Endo/Implied Vore

No gos :
- Noncon/dubious consent
- Mean macro (Crushing, city destruction etc)
- Humans (Even in TF, just don't like drawing em)
- Anything involving my fursona or previous ones (Léon or Tyler basically)
- Underage/Chibi etc
- Feral
Probably more I'll try to update the journal as they come up.

Feel free to ask in DMs if I'm comfortable for your idea I'll keep the request confidential :3

Also ideally I want to post these so I can use them as examples in the future.
If you don't want me to post it let me know, might have spot for that still but I'll try to prioritize public slots :>

I made a furry jam game that won a jam this summer called Kobold Concoction then got busy with other stuff.

Over the last month though I started making a spiritual successor to it : Bunny Brewery :)
I want to expand it and make it a full game :)

You can try it here
https://scruffybrush.itch.io/bunny-brewery Password is "banana"

Pls give me feedback either, here, on itch or on the discord I'm making for this and future game projects I'm working on :)
https://discord.gg/YmsFAnHpbh

Biggest changes for the sequel are plans for :
- 2p local coop (Done but I want to test and add Steam remote play ideally!)
- Save + Load suport (Was partly backported to original jam since peeps wanted to see unlocked recipes!)
- New soundtrack (by MJD Check his stuff here : https://open.spotify.com/album/3iO2.....u5ug4ayLVjYW3X )
- New sprites I'll make
- New recipes
- Bosses
- Any cool ideas peeps give me I think I can reasonably do timely (Trying to release it next year spring/summer ideally)

Prices here :
https://scruffybrush.ca/

Prices here also but in b o l d:

Finished all commissions I was working on :>
I even got tips and Ko-Fi tysm! :D

I'll alternate doing gamedev and art more, maybe 1 week each

This week is going to be dev :)

Reopening for 4 slots to start this weekend though

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52921227/

Just realized I forgot to change my contact info links on FA in yeaaaars and I hadn't updated it to match multi site username change.
Updated now.

NB : Planning to leave twitter if/once I'm fully comfy with that but I'm also on Masto https://meow.social/@ScruffyBrush and will crosspost the same things to those 2 spots (maybe even un-abbreviate stuff if it fits on masto but not doomscroll self destructive birdsite)

I wanna do a lot of artfight this year.
Ideally watchers and mutuals so drop me your links pls and lmk if youd rather get : Pixel, Digital, Speedsculpt, Lego Model
(ymmv on that last one but curious to try smaller builds again, maybe the tahu meme ones : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50417040/ )

https://artfight.net/~ScruffyBrush
Here's mine :3

Realized something painfully obvious today.

TL;DR : Make it and they will come is a lie. If you want to build your own brand, you need to build your own marketing first and foremost.

Out of curiosity I compared stats with an artist I admire that started roughly same time as me :
- They posted a little under 100 submissions on FA while I have 600ish
- They have a few thousands follows on twitter while I'm barely floating around 300

I'm not saying they don't deserve it or I deserve more. I wish both of us a high tide to raise all boats.

I want to use that comparison to highlight how false it is to believe in both "Make it and they will come" mentality or my previous "You just have to get lucky and keep at it".
The real reason they're much more successful at building an audience is : In the same time I did/RTd about 7k posts they made over 150k.

The path to popularity isn't about being prolific or the best, neither of us are, I now think it's about constant loquacity.

I do want to become more popular.
Because I don't generally really make anything for mostly myself. I wouldn't be uploading anything if I was.
I create mainly to distract others from the pain, escape, soothe, heal, entertain, commune, lift, prosper.
That's not super doable in a vacuum. My art generally didn't always or often have a deep personal meaning to it though I've been working on that lately.

I want to be popular for practical reasons. Even in this sometimes necrotic feeling world, I want to live off of creating and help friends and family achieve it too.
For every skill I have I know at least 5 people I'd want to see living off of that skill even more than myself and help them reach that point.
I can't shout them out if I have no community to whisper to.
Ideally, I also want to succeed myself, by doing what I love: creating. For me that'd be buying a house with a garden and not having to worry about money for food or repairs.

But I'm conflicted, I don't want to play that social media constant mindless yapping for attention game.
I don't want to try posting every waking hour to meet an arbitrary ever increasing double digit quota of daily posts while I'm comfortable around 3.

I'm saying all this for 2 reasons I guess :

1. If you are a starving artist who's already committed to making it your freelancing job:
Please, for your own sake, double down and play that game. Farm that engagement, creating a lot is not nearly as good as being talkative and posting stuff, it doesn't have to be about what you make constantly.
Because you probably can't be constantly making things, not healthily imho anyway.
Do not go the tendinitis route, it's got a bad ending. Market yourself, aggressively or find something else you can do as primary income source.
I wish you the best and haven't decided yet if that's for me too.

2. If you're a follower, a fan, a friend : Thank you.

Thank you for supporting me and helping me create for what's already been 11 years of my life. I have no regret is the understatement of the century here.
I do regret some creative droughts, but I've learned to create, gotten out of depression, met my closest group of friends (and my nerdy bf :3) through this creative fandom.
I hope I can make even more for 40 or more years still.

Thank you if you commissioned me anything, favorited anything or most importantly left even a single encouraging comment, it probably fueled me for the next 5 doodles.

Finally, thank you for helping me to reach hundreds of peeps like you by giving me a shoutout, raiding me on twitch, sharing the art I made for you or that you simply liked and helping me reach others as I've been too shy to find more peeps by playing that networking/socializing game myself.
I might have to change my online behavior if I *really* want to make a living out of it, but thank you for helping me get here with just your word of mouth so far.
It's been more than worth it already :)

As usual, please lick, cement and subsidize for more minecraft videos.
Have a great week.

TL ; DR : Making a smol game! >>> https://scruffybrush.itch.io/project-pico <<<
Try it pls and tell me how to make it gooder!

Started making a free indie shmup game for practice. About halfway done

The idea is I have a hard self imposed deadline of 8 dedicated days (and can work extra if I really want to, have good ideas and energy for it)

My goal is 2 things mainly :
- Get something complete. It doesn't have to be great
- Get good at managing scope and priorising tasks.

I want to get good at maximizing how fun and good the game feels with minimal effort by focusing on what matters most first or what is the easier but more impactful changes I can do.

I intend to add more features (so anything really) for 2 more days, then focus on look and feel (visuals, sounds, etc).
I'm not decided on what features are most crucially missing yet, considering :
- Upgrade system
- Weapon swapping
- High score hosting
- Reactive ingame Character portrait (Which I could then make customizable by letting people drop their own files :3)

Please try it out and let me know if you have any feedback or ideas of what you'd want to see added!

>>> https://scruffybrush.itch.io/project-pico <<<

I stream 2-4h of it every sundays and post the updated build at end of day on weekends if you want to give ideas when I'm live or watch me do compilation errors or pick monstercat songs :3
https://www.twitch.tv/scruffybrush

Slap me I'll slap u back
https://artfight.net/~Nsyse
I'll be streaming those on https://www.twitch.tv/zensyse
Also I'll try to catch up on uploads sometime this week

That's the post.
Please Mike Wazowski for more minecraft videos.

RT + link a ref to enter raffle
3 slots :
Headshot

or
Fullbody Sketch

Here's the link : https://twitter.com/ZeNsyse/status/.....50177624076288

Soup.

I really like working on commissions and tbh it makes me feel all fuzzy when peeps come and ask if I got a slot for em, because really I still get impostor syndrome regularly.

BUTT!

I want time to relax, work on personal stuffs and prepare for next school session!

HAND!

I struggle to say no to comms requests.

SOW!

I'm gonna officially post a journal about not taking new commissions for a while so I can't change my mind or feel bad if someone asks and I hesitate.

I'll still most likely stream doodle and/or games until then and try to catch up on the upload backlog (If I completed a comm for you and it's not up yet, feel free to remind me to upload it, I've been very busy and might have forgotten about it).

Feel free to suggest themes or some of my OCs I should draw more (though it's likely to be low effort vent sketches, I want to focus on a wrapping up a small project!) or games to play.

TANKS FOUR YOU'RE ON THERE STANDING!

I put my twitter link 3 times so that if you accidentally butterfinger and wavedash off the correct link there's still a good chance you click it.
But I also added a wrong link in there to spice things up.
Choose wisely, once you've made your decision the host will reveal a door containing a goat for some reason.
Then you can try again or something or just enjoy the music.

TL; DR : Didn't sell any print at con oops, pixelarts still popular, trying to make webcomic!

Hello!

Lots of good news c:

---

Con

Didn't sell any print and ended up just giving away some stickers at the con and business cards. (Plus a single post tf bear commission actually, that was fun and went better than expected.)

Con was fun anyway and I finally met and cuddled my bf >:3

---

Pixelart

Pixelart is like still the main almost the only thing I do and I fear I'll get rusty doing the rest if I just do that.
Plus I get as many requests as I can fill out without trying really hard to fill slots.

So I'll rise pixelart prices again woo!

Here's a raffle to celebrate : https://twitter.com/ZeNsyse/status/.....43934712680448

---

Webcomic

Also, I randomly got someone pledging surprisingly much for my unworthy Patreon(tm,®,©) (product placement : https://www.patreon.com/Nsyse)

They pledged on April 1st so I bet it's a trick because impostor syndrome (and because April fools, ofc), but jokes on them I'll actually do my goal c:

Which means I gotta start making a webcomic. (Excited and anxious)

I don't know where I'd host it yet, but I'll publicly upload it to patreon. If you publish a comic yourself I'd like advice on which platform to pick!

Here's the full announcement on that : https://www.patreon.com/posts/real-.....ncing-17924057

Wish me luck for finals and have a good week! c:

My first con as a dealer woo!

Come say hi table 49 :3

I have:

Pixel prints

Pastels

My laptop and tablet

And pencils c:

Also my business card !! Woo

And my boyfriend >:3

I'll try to post more update journals from now on.

Hii! (Great start)

Let's see what new happened last 5 months...

I did some pastels! First pastels commissions and sold my first ever badge :D (a cute red panda drummer)

I survived another session of university (about 2 year remaining woo, a bit past the halfway mark :) )
On that subject I think I figured out I want to become a teacher. I always like to show what I know to people eager to learn or share what interests me in my hobbies and skills with others and help them to find what works for them. So if you think I can show you something you want to learn, don't hesitate to ask.

An important milestone I reached was working at around minimum wage doing pixelarts! Hope that's gonna keep working out and hope to get pixels into cool furry games eventually.
It makes me realise however that my non pixelart drawings aren't as great in my opinion.
Maybe I get pixels more naturally than the rest, but I think I should drop drawing and try a more painterly approach instead. Did that once on a test wolfess and I think it's a good idea so far!

Other than that I want to share my NYR is to have no more 0 days.
Every day I'll accomplish or work a little on something I'm supposed to in order to succeed at school or in my pet projects and improving skills.
Hopefully that means I'll have new surprise stuff to show by a couple months I couldn't really do or didn't properly try before.


I have managed to keep the weekly streaming schedule btw :) Tell if you'd like to attend and have me move it to some other time, but so far I do Sundays 14:00-16:00 or 18 on picarto : https://picarto.tv/NsyseDoesAThing
I want to thank everyone who's helped me learn to believe in me by showing appreciation for my crafts and I hope to impress you again now and then still :)
Have a good week!

Soup :>

Everyone who's an active watcher raise their hand and tell me something they'd like to see me try next!

Because getting out of my comfort zone and trying pixelart has been the best idea I did in a while and Noxid challenged me to do just that :D

Especially if you have ideas for drawing minigames for interacting with stream chat! :D


Speaking of streaming...
I use Restream now btw! Which means I'm available on both Twitch, Youtube or Picarto, so pick your flavor if you wanna watch sometimes :)

I don't have a set schedule, except for Sundays which are normally around 14:00-16:00 EST at least and end when I'm bored or have to do homework.

Please be mindful of your language during sunday streams as it's my featured hour on WatchMeWork!

Stream links :

https://www.twitch.tv/zensyse

Just realised it's literally been 2 months since I uploaded anything here.

I've been drawing stuff, don't worry.

It's just that I used to use a custom tool I made myself to help post on multiple websites (FA, DA, weasyl, sofurry, furiffic)

Then furiffic automation broke, but I had like 3 watchers so I didn't care, then DA so I decided to make a new and better tool from scratch to learn c#

Got busy doing other projects, commissions and seeing family etc.
And pixelart! The pixelart is great!

So yeah I'll make a quick fix to the older tool instead because I'm accumulating an unholy backlog! I'll upload stuff tomorrow, pinkie swear!

Soup, I'm taking the summer off, so I'll have little more to do than draw and learn things on my own (Wanna get into blender, unity, zbrush...)

So I'd love to do commissions! Here's my slightly revised pricesheet if you're curious : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/233.....che=1493489756

I'm still selling cheap because I hope to get more watchers through word of mouth, so thanks for spreading it around if you feel like helping :D

I'll take 5 slots at once, starting them in parallel, but completing them in first come first serve order.
First 3 slots get 1$ off because I want to have progress tracking examples to put up on Trello.
I'll draw at least 2 hours 6 days a week.

30 days OC challenge Update:

As you might've noticed, I haven't been posting daily drawings as part of the 30 days OC challenge thing lately.

I did get a 10th one done, but have been too lazy to upload it.

I had a lot of fun, but lost interest and I'd rather be doing other things really.

I doubt I'll complete this at all, but if you want to pick a few themes you were looking forward to and would like me to complete, I'll try to do those.

At any rates, it's the best I did on a 30 days challenge thing so far, 4-6 being my previous best (now it'd be 10 :D) So I'm happy.
I'm also especially happy how some turned out, but it became obvious I could not keep such a high and consistent quality daily.

---

Commissions:

I finally updated my pricesheet to be less ambiguous. Do tell if you think my prices are fair/competitive?

Pricesheet:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing

Also, I'd like to experiment doing silly telegram stickers but don't really know a good pricepoint for those. So ask for ONE, SPECIFIC sticker.
If I like it I'll do it (I'll do like 5 total).

Finally, I'd like to take 3 commissions to do during first 2 weeks of school :>

1.

2.

3.

Hello, basically for those who aren't aware or who'd like to join me, I'm trying a 30 days drawing challenge.
The theme is simple : Draw your OC daily.
Each day has a set prompt. (which can be seen here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20865996/ )

I'd like to know if you mind or want me to draw my avatar 30 times.
At first I really thought I'd try to vary more and draw my OCs at random.
Turns out I really like it so far, so I might stick to muh avatar.

If you have ideas or requests of what you'd like me to draw for any of the prompts, do share them I might try it if it's a good idea and not too much work.

So far I did:

Day 1: Introduction
Day 2: Cosplay
Day 3: Fanservice
Day 4: Chibified

Also in general I'm bored and like attention, so if you want a commission or just ask me stuff, please do! I like attention :>
