General | Posted 7 years agoSo Winnipeg (My city) had it's first ever fur convention and I was an artist there and I was really excited to see it. So now I am trying to get back into the Furry communities. So hi everyone. Thanks for keeping up with me!
FAQ from Live Stream
General | Posted 14 years agoIt is amazing how many GREAT questions I keep getting in Live stream when I am doing them so I thought I would post a few of my favorites here. You all ask so many wonderful questions.
They are in no order, just how they were saved and came up in my notes I keep.
Q: What is the marker you use?
A: I am a copic user, I love my copic, and have many of the base colours, and want many more shades!
Q: Why Copic are they not expensive?
A: Yes, more so in Canada it seams, each marker costs an average of $8.00 to $10.00 dollars for me. So when I find them on sale at conventions I hop on them FAST! I can often find them available at conventions for about $3.00 so that cuts my cost greatly.
Other reasons I use Copic is because I often buy the refills as my colours run out. It allows me to use the same marker over and over again. I love how green they are for that respect.
They do not dry out as the caps are very tight, and even if they did dry out, refill for them is cheap for me as again I can buy it for $3.00 to $5.00 at conventions. I will often keep track of the colours I use most often and buy the refills at cons.
They also travel well via air, I have never had them have issues with air flight and often colour things while waiting for my flight to take off.
Q: How long does it take you to colour?
A: All depends on the piece. Often takes about half hour for a digital base colour, and hours for the highlights and shadows. All depends on the piece really.
For traditional colour any where from ten minutes again to hours! it is dependent on the piece. At conventions I tell people two hours for a pony sticker, that gives me enough time to draw, colour and cut while dealing with my customers.
Q: What is this song?
A: I get this on almost EVERY song. Chances are if your listening to my music with me, it is Power 97 FM Winnipeg, or it is my very large collection of music. But I see this ALL the time.
Q: What program are you using?
A: Photoshop 7, and Paint Tool Sai. I usually sketch in photoshop! Then I ink, and colour in Sai. I love Sai for line work and colours.
Q: Can you draw me?
A: YES! Please when I am working on art on Live Stream, ask! The most horrible thing I can say is NO! I often take suggestions from my Live Stream when I am sketching. If I am working on ponies or a commission I will often tell you and not take suggestions.
Q: What paper do you use?
A: Sketching is just Computer Paper, I find that Computer Paper is cheap enough where for sketching I can sketch and toss if I don't like it.
When I do full pieces it all depends on what it is. I often will use a form of card stock, or specialty paper for my copic. I love doing artist cards now, they are quick and fun.
Q: Do you do Character designs?
A: Not usually. I like working with characters that are already developed. I hate being accused of making a design that looks like another persons design.
So no sorry.
Q: What hair do you use?
A: Oh I buy my hair from Dollyhair.com for my ponies. I love her product and it is a fair price. I strongly suggest her (if she is still in buisness) I am still using from my last 100 buck order.
Q: Do you ever clean your brush in your drink?
A: YES! All the freaking time. It is why I often will keep my soda, water, ect.... in bottles or cups that seal. And 90% of my product is non toxic, I think the only thing I work on that is toxic is the resin charms I dabble in.
Q: Can I draw your character?
A: always! Though please don't be like one guy who told me that I had to pay him for his sketch he did of my character when I didn't ask him to make it. lol.
Q: when do you live stream?
A: Right now it is random when I am working on things. When conventions start to wind down I want to do scheduled live streams. But at this time I don't have the time.
Q: Can we trade Artist Cards?
A: YES! I will pay shipping to you, and you pay shipping to me. I will draw anything you ask for. Please Draw one of my characters from my characters page on AFTA. phynixcaskey.org (page is currently down due to programming issues)
Q: How long have you been drawing?
A: Since I was about 8 years old. I started drawing disney characters and just continued on from there. I am always sketching on anything that is blank, heck I sketch where ever I can and on anything I can. I am not picky. So much of what I draw never gets scanned or shown off. I just have no place to set up a scanner for long term. just don't have enough space in the office anymore to keep it set up.
Q: Where are you going to be at next?
A: you can find that on my site please visit http://www.phynixcaskey.org
There are more but I need to hunt them down and it is 4am and I am READY to go to bed!

Working on it....
General | Posted 14 years agoThis past month I have spent a lot of time lurking on Fa and decided that I should post here more, I have so many pony things, and more anthro things that it isn't funny. I just need to spend time to upload them now.
Also I was into ponies before it was cool! I am an 80's baby and have a ponysiona since I was about 10 guys. So please no hate on the ponies....

Phy be back
General | Posted 15 years agoSo for them of you who have been paying attention to my page (the whole three watchers I have all being friends lol) might have noticed that I deleted a lot of things from here and have started to post a few OLDER things. Yes what you are seeing right now is older things and I am thinking I will post two or three pieces a night till I am into the new things.
I am proud of my newer things so you will see that soon I hope. Also I am into takeing commissions on anything you see I am able to make you your own stickers, posters, keychains ect... I love to draw and I do merch so it is a great gift. I just finished putting final lines down on a marrage purposal for a friend so that is awesome I should have that one coloured in the next few days I am looking forward to it.
After that I am into the mailing out the stack of things that are done and ready to go. With my daughter in football I have been busy trying to get on the new routine. It is not easy.
Any ways I am back I will be posting another journal when I am done with the older things and I get into the things from 2010!
And once again nice to see new faces, and old!
