Kalimah's account has been recently banned for what I believe are false accusations of her utilizing AI for her art pieces. I've gotten many commissions from her before, as have many people on this site and I don't believe these accusations have any basis to them.

Does this site have a program that supposedly detects AI-generation? Or is this someone just being a troublemaker and trying to rid the platform of a good artist because they have nothing better to do.

Please, I ask FA staff to carefully review this and reinstate her account

Thou and I will see him dine, when we bear him thither!

Merry Christmas everyone!

My oh my how the years move fast. 28 years since I've been brought into this world, and while there have been many tough moments, I've been fortunate enough to see them through thus far!

The clock has officially breached midnight here so Happy New Years! This previous year definitely had its problems and we can only hope this next one is an end to it all. So I raise my glass of champagne to you all and wish you all the best of luck!

Hello all! We are approaching the end of the first year into this decade and let's just say it's not been without it problems. This damnable virus of all things has kept me locked up in the house and unable to do activities that I would normally like to do. Still, I hope we can all at least enjoy this one day and wish for the next year to be better.

Twenty years into the millennium! For one full year we get to use 2020 as the date! Hope it's been a good 2019 and here's to another year!

Secondly, the new FA update? Still unsure how I really feel about it. Imagine my surprise when this new layout popped up on my phone.

Ah well! I'll get used to it! =D

Take care

It's that time of year again everyone! Gifts and lots of food! =D

Merry Christmas everyone!

As the title says,  VictoriaDaedra is doing a raffle! There are three potential winners and the prizes are headshot drawings. The first winner gets a Realistic Headshot while the other two get Lineart Headshots!

Come and play! She needs the exposure and has been a great provider for me with reasonable prices. Who would say 'no' to a chance for free art?

This is the raffle --> http://www.furaffinity.net/view/32957049/

Today makes twenty-six years that I have been on this world and I look forward to the next one! =D

So I just found out that FurAffinity implemented a donation system known as "Shinies." This reminds me of DeviantArt's usage of Points, though instead of a currency only valid on one website, it looks like it's hard cash on FA.

Funny, whenever I stole Dogtags in Battlefield, I would always exclaim "SHINY! MINE! PRETTY!" or something to that effect and would scurry off giggling maniacally.

For shits and giggles, I decided to activate it on my profile. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw not one cent coming my way but eh. *Shrugs*

I have not been the receiving end of this action myself (that I know of at least) but several people I watch have posted journals regarding people using original characters or works and passing it off as if it were their own. In those journals I have read, there have been other people in the comments recounting their own experiences regarding that. Some were recent, some were older and some had multiple incidents of this happening.

This has me rather alarmed and so I wanted to make a journal listing some contact information and will update my main page as well.

There is the most obvious one, Furaffinity, but it's rather difficult to pose as someone else here (I hope!).

I also have a Discord Onyx-Centurion#5313

I do not have a Telegram, Deviantart (anymore at least. I haven't logged on in five or so years), Twitter, Facebook or an F-List.

I do have an e-mail, but I restrict this to business and chats only with close friends who do not utilize other online means of communication.

Regarding Discord, it is not an invitation to send me a friend request. While I wish to be friendly with all who speak with me, I do not like my contact list being cluttered with names that I will have maybe one or two conversations with.

Thanks for your time.

And a Happy Holidays to all!

Ding! As the title would say, today I turn 25!

Half-way in my twenties. Jeez. Time sure flies.

There have been pitfalls in my life. Some old, some recent, some minor, some very difficult. BUT! None of it was insurmountable! I stand on top triumphantly and look back on what I manage to conquer and I keep my eyes forward.


Until next year! =D

Now it's here!
Now it's here!
Bringing lots of joy and cheer!
Fra la la la la!

It is now twenty-six past midnight over here and we have officially started 2018!

Hopefully it's a good one without any fear!

Some resolutions of mine:

Pick up drawing. Too many a year has gone by with me missing the opportunity, even though I've always had an interest. No more. I will get this down even if it takes me ten or more years!

Lose weight for joining the military. I've got one more year left on my college and I want to join the military. In the meantime, I've been working on losing weight to help me. Twenty pounds in the last two months! Hopefully I can get another forty in six or so months!

That's about it really! You all have yourselves a wonderful 2018!

PS: The title and first paragraph was a song that was sung by an old Popeye cartoon back in 1938. It was the only episode that I can think of where Popeye and Bluto remained amicable throughout the entire episode.

It's that time of year! Christmas has come and it will be over soon, but until it does, I'll make sure I will have the most fun I can at it!

Merry Christmas to you all and if you don't celebrate Christmas, then a Happy Holidays to you!

See you at New Year's Eve!

Don't worry, this is not a self-pity journal.

I was taking a look at many profiles and noticed that people have thousands of comments given and received. Then I look at mine. Not even 900 given and I've been here on this site for just about five years, being quite active in terms of watching and commissioning.

It's not that I don't like to talk. I'm not introverted and am not shy. I'm the kind of person where I don't speak if I have nothing to say.

Merely an observation I made that I felt like sharing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Make of it as you will.

Net Neutrality has been repealed. Whatever the short-term and long-term ramifications of this act are, we'll have to make the best of it as we can.

Specifically, I want an artist who can do pretty good animated icons. Do you guys know of any?

Happy 2017!

Can't believe it's been two years since I wrote a journal.

Frohe Weihnacten, Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad and Merry Christmas!

Today, he was found dead in what is to be a suspected suicide. That is news I did NOT expect to hear today.

Happy 238th to the United States!

Seventy years have passed since that fateful day in which Allied forces invaded Normandy and pushed to the western borders of the Nazi Regime. If you know any D-Day veterans, do take the time to thank them for that incredible gauntlet they had to pass through in order to speed up the end of the worst chapter in human history.

"...the first 24 hours of the invasion will be decisive...the fate of Germany depends on the outcome...for the Allies, as well as Germany, it will be the longest day." Erwin Rommel

...coming sailing in, on Christmas Day in the Morning!

Just wanted to take a short moment to wish everyone a Happy Holidays! It just turned Midnight here and I can't wait for Santa to give me the deed to my new coal mine! =D

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanuka, Happy Kwanzaa and good wishes to all!
