My friend Solid is leaving, and I doubt Havoc and Bahamut will stand for this either. I agree with him- we had this discussion before it reached the forums and basically came to the same conclusion as cooner I was going to ignore and it let it pass over my again.

Then I saw the vote. Admins of this site- as my friend Soba is telling me- are in agreement that such images are appropriate for this site and are not counteracted by the EULA or Agreement. Apparently I have no say I haven't done anything to moderate the site I just contribute.

I don't like the decision- I will leave too.

Ivy is leaving with me. We won't be taking art down we are only taking contact info and not posting again.

I really don't know what else to say. When I had this discussion with my friends I thought it was something we handled maturely and didn't break out of proporition. We decided what we felt was right.

It was a fantastic time. Got to spend time with Rusty Soba, Djago, Jovee, Nall, Punktiger, Emilo, Chris, and Fossil. Scully raptor was pretty cool too for a girl as was Tigra. =D

Another Rusty there was doing Furrlough comic and such he had some awesome spy things. I believe many artists from fa where there, Silvermane to name one. Across from me.

There was also Skull dog who wore more stickers than anyone on her face I think.

Blade and Cole were furthest from me, but we still managed to hang out a little =D

All in all it was tremendous fun, drinking, eating, and drawing. I even watched part of Rainbow Brite the movie, Shaun of the Dead, and Venture Brothers.

It was a learning experience too. If I am going to sell work I need to change how I do things alittle. I sat down and had headphones on the whole time not talking to customers- and what's more I kept leaving the dealers room after noon because I wanted to hang out with friends which caused me to miss 90% of my customers =D

LAst day sunday I stayed and everyone caught up with me so now I have this long list of badges and commissions to do as well as some people to get back to me fro sketches and such.

Special thanks to Elrabin Cougar for making me think of Atlas again. I may just work him between some things for others.

Oh and as I come back I see  Maxima is back here and rocking it out.

Also  Silverfenrir did an awesome job with my character Simon- and an appropriate song to describe him. I had to listen to it again =D

 mitsuro Did a pretty nice job with his fursona muscled, hope he finished it =D

Take care guys!

Heya guys, I was packing things up for FurFright and getting my stuff to print out and backing things up while I went on here to try to respond to some people I've been watching.

I never thought I'd reach 10k before a year had passed. I'm impressed alot of you have followed me this far.

I wanna say I really appreciate all this community has done and is doing to help me grow, you guys are really great.

I am not longer sick and my hand is much better. Things have been going extraordinarly well.

Unfortuantely I didn't have time to get alot done and my main priority was to my friends in getting them those badges.

I'm up to date with commissions, save StormCatchers, and will get everything out to those people the week after Furfright. I'll make it all up to ya Stormy =3

My cell phone will be on, and I am sending private messages to those who have a cell- and I have a few of your numbers those who are going.

Line art needs to be worked on next- and coloring just keeps getting better and better.

I really wanted to thank  Silverfenrir for his sweet gesture, I really wasn't expecting that at all.

Please come see me if your heading to CT this weekend- I'll be happy to find other FA users and draw with ya. My first priority is to have fun and draw. I'll be in the dealer's room showing off prints, commissions, and sketches. I'll also be around with my friends, fighting the forces of good and all that stuff.

Furry DnD also if you find me. Undead Theme- and I can sketch the cool parts and maps =3

Hoping to see you there, have a safe trip and, even if your not God bless!

Thank you so much for all of this, the warmth and depth of the community is really touching. I will continue my best to improve and keep at it.

I am taking alot of pictures for  beastlybahamut and  ivybeth , and  mitsuro as they will be unable to attend furfright. I'll post a few choice photos here but make a secondary photobucket account for the rest.

Ta!

I'm only doing this cause I am sick. My inhibition has been lowered considerably. I don't really see much point in these things, but with all the work and endless practice sessions and furfright coming up I decided I needed to loosen up a little and try it.

Watcher's thing is almost done and then it's onto furfright stuff.

I haven't done anything serious just yet because I've been busy between this commission, building a bathroom, moving my sister's family in, watchign the nephews- the list goes on. I'm beginning to think life won't get any simplier heh.

I've got so much planned for Furfright, but time is limited. When I get this commision done I've got less than 20 days to get my act together. With everything going on at once it's a little hard.

Despite what happens, I am going to enjoy myself and make sure friends get what's coming to them.

I'm working on another of my commissions.

Watchers will be completed next. Sketched, and being inked and colored. it's 40% completed.

Cnipur's next commission is being re-sketched out.
Rexx-Woulfe's commission is sketched and awaiting color.
Stormcatcher's commission is sketched, and is awaiting color.

After that Furfright stuff.

Thank you everyone for all the favorites on Luchy's commission I posted. I was surprised to see that so many people liked it. It was my first coloring job in Corel Painter 9, I was worried but it seemed it was needless.

And thank you to Ivy and Geramy who have been a huge support to me. I hope to make them proud in the coming weeks =3

I've got something special to work on for a friend, and should be done around next week after Watcher's commission is squared away.

Hope you are all well.

Heya all. Glad so many people are coming to FA. GuBoy is truly a fantastic artist and he is sharing the whole furry scene-I originally saw his work on Ygallery. It's nice to have a place where people all get together.

As for artwork, stuff is coming. Right now I am squaring away some finishing details on page 1 of Mitsuruo's comic. I wanna make sure the text and everything looks nice once the cell shading is done.

FurFright stuff is due the end of the month, which is a big anvil over my head. I will try to get at least five things done for the conbook, and hopefully one will be chosen.

I'm slowly becoming a hermit and for that I apologise. I really do enjoy being alone and working without interuption. But I am happy to talk on occasion.

I've had alot of dreams lately where I am falling- and that is a link to insecurity I am told. Despite the immense amount of practice and training I put myself through I seem to have toruble convincing myself to finish somethings- and it leads to gross procrastination and hesitation.

One of which, Tony (Lewd/Monsterbait) I will have your long waited for picture done at the end of the month. I've given you what 6 sketches of it so far in the mean time? I can do it =D

Commission work will resume. I cannot put them off to improve any longer. I have come aways and people wanted my work before AC- so they will be getting more than the expected to begin with.

I need to seperate my ideas and emotions, and that is often difficult. I want to perputally improve- but it cannot mean an eternal delay of work. I even went so far as to dread open canvas with friends, because I see myself short of thier work. It isn't a competition - it's fun. And I didn't let myself enjoy it at first, now that is changing.

I've been letting things that pop up get to me, but I'll work through it.

I asked five for a friend, so I better repost it here.

You may ask any five questions and I will answer them. I will do so honestly.

No I am not segregating those who like asking questions.

Remodeling house. It's a bitch.

I'm back from AC and it was fantastic! I'd never imagen that going to artists Alley would be so much fun. Without color prints or art cds like the others or even color I did pretty well when I had the intention of making no sales.

Right now a friend has urged me to put copyright notices on all my drawings posted, so I need to edit the posts as such with a quick manipulation.

I've gotten alot of compliments and people would really like for me to start posting again. It's a big deal to me and means the world so many are interested in seeing more of my work.

I am just really lazy =D

I shall be at Anthrocon.

Most likely if your going you can see me at artist alley Friday-Sunday.

My friend talked me into this to gain some exposure.

I'll have SuperSponsor Membership which means I'll be at the luncheon as well as the Zoo and the other lounge areas.

I don't seem to be able to have a cell phone, which is crucial at functions this large. I'd like to borrow one from a family member, but my father will have a job by then and I'll miss out on using his.

Also I am investigating being a night owl at the Internet den for Tigerwolf.

So 10am to 5pm Artist Alley and 12am to 6am in Internet Room it looks like.

Best of all I won't be brining a cooler with peanut butter like I thought It was. I gots money for food and more money coming =3 Yay! I am even thinking about buying a print or two from artists I like in in AA or Dealer's room.

Also there is a VERY funny comic out there somewhere about furries. "The truth about furries" or something, and it shows three guys looking at a comic laughing, they look disgusting. IT was such a hilarious comic. 2002 abouts fall it came out. If I can find this at AC I will get it.

Mind you the first time to myself I've had in months and I am writing this about a problem my friend is having.

I've dealt with it in the fandom for over ten years the feeling of insecurity and neglect. I am sure we've all felt it. Artistically it is more devistating espically among those of us whom do our best and continue to persue greater goals.

Now mind you if it was just me it would be different. I've experienced this feeling before. I've felt it would be better some days if I never picked up the pencil at all and just ignored furry artwork all together.

People who steal styles. People who draw only one thing. People who are caustic and stupid. Artists who just won't let other people share the spotlight because thier genre and pron are "leet".

I'm not articulate on this point, it's a depth of feelings I have that I can sense in other artists for what they've felt as well.

When a friend tells me that he's sad and that he is considerng leavign the fandom it got to me. Not in the life stopping way, but still int eh "Oh shit. We've lost a good one."

Now when artists leave for having thier work overlooked, they feel from wha tI've seen, that they will not be missed. Even if I miss this person they've made up thier mind and moved on. Good for them. I am happy. They've done what they needed to do to grow and be a better artist.

The Fandom looses out and one more bitter person. Why? The fan bois of course. Fur pile the artists who are leet, leave the others like garbage despite the amount of good and quality work they do.

Despite having a dedication to furry as well as something they enjoy. When they can no longer enjoy it, it's thier own fault for dwelling on these things too much.

It's harsh reality I know. But the problem lies in them, not the fan bois. FBs cannot help themselves. FBs cannot put doubt into a heart. It's already there. The doubt just gets louder each day. It's all indirect.

I cannot hate someone for mindless happiness over another idiots work. If anything it's encouraging even if I am not in the spot light, or can squeeze myself into one.

So we loose some artists. Good people. I'd elaborate more now, but I've got things to do and a life to live. I'd have cared more, but I'm focused on getting my stuff improved and workable for AC. mind you this person brushed me off as well. Hadn't he done that, I'd have cared even more. But meh. =D

I wanna be proud. Even if no one notices. I am proud.

I will see these good people leave, and I will move on as well. I am happy. So long as I can draw I am happy.

I would put something here but Brian melted.

Poor Brian.

My parents are going on vacation and thus I have time to work on stuff.

Yay.

Ok Commission Update time. This has been a while coming, and with my baby sitting tomorrow and moving an 87 year old aunt across the street in Ny should be interesting. I had originally planned on getting Stormy's and A special annonimous person (due to the fact they are gifts for someone), only to have to watch said nephews again.

I am making it clear to my family I need time to work on things. There is no excuse to delay people.

Dragoneer (Contacted me that said money is on the way) 2 line arts
Tigercowboy (Check arrived all the way from Missouri!) 3 conbadges
Stom Catcher (Paid) Sketched--Awaiting Color
Anonymous (Paid) Designing Costumes for Colored piece and Duoptic Badges

WerewolfHero mentioned wanting one, but never got past asking if I was still giving them.
Damien666 on ygallery mentioned wanting several, but turned out to commission others and never pay.
Charle Chisam on Y! messenger mentioned wanting one, but never sent an email back.

Tuesday and Wednesday I've been promised I will finally be able to concentrate and work. My sister also agreed she'd help out with travel expenses for when I car pool with the gang to Anthrocon. Thursday mom does a bone density and mammogram so I gotta watch the kids no winning there. Friday to Sunday I should have to myself as well.

All work will be finished by the 22nd bar none. I hate delays. I'm cashing things this weekend so there is no dilly dallying.

It's bad enough my comic got shunted back because of these little hooligans and I've got no money to show for it while my sister paid 10 bucks an hour to total strangers for supplemental watching. I need time to work on Anthrocon stuff, at long last.

I have a splash page or two I've been dying to do along with a crest and a mini illustrated history book for my portfolio I'd liked colored amongst my hundreds of sketches (a few of which I shall bring) all after my 2003 visit to AC.

I'm worried AC is gonna be a bust like last time. I'm hoping that there will be people willing to draw in the Zoo, and that there are a decent amount of no arrogant artists around who like to kick back and draw to be social. I'm going ot make it a point no matter how overwhelmed I am not to retreat back into my hotel room. I did that the last time and ended up missing allot of good stuff after my group left me to get to talk to some popular people.

There is a singular thought in my head amongst all of this. Revenge. I want it badly. Like shredding meat between my teeth eating London Broil Steak. I want to make sure I show those upstarts from several years back I'm not the doormat they took me for, rise up and tell them, "I am mad as all hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."

All sketches and such will be posted as well as the finals here.

I have 28 days remaining, and despite explanations to my family they took 8 and seek to take more from me. I'm just gonna loose it and go ballistic on them. I have nothing done yet again with a deadline and I don't want a repeat of last year where they sucked up so much time of mine only to look at me stupid when I told them they screwed up my chances of getting something published. Not again.

I need to relax. I said I was going for fun but it won't be fun if I have nothing done in time. I need an equalizier. Something to put me on solid ground when I face the jerks. A little something of everything with backgrounds thats no one can just come up to and say "That's awful all you drawing is muscle? No backgrounds? Pleeze!". It's something the fandom taught me you have to earn even if a majority of people feel that it isn't.

I will resume regular postings here within the June-July period.
