Got all of my main pictures set up in my gallery. That sucked. I would have abandoned FA if I couldn't just copy/paste descriptions and tags.

Either way, I'll be posting everything on the new account:  gunpowdergreentea from now on. After a little while, I'll just delete everything here, so don't wait too long if you want to keep watching.

Hey guys, just a quick note that I'm going to be transferring all my works over to my new account:

http://www.furaffinity.net/user/gunpowdergreentea/

I'll be putting it all in scraps so it doesn't appear on the front page. After a while, I'll move them all to the main gallery. I'd just like to avoid people saying I'm stealing my own artwork.

Hope to see you all there!

I've sent notes to the winners. If you didn't receive a message, then I'm sorry and better luck next time.

This will probably be more or less my Thanksgiving celebration thing as I have no ideas nor interest in a turkey related pic at the moment.

But coming up soon is that I'm going to be changing my name. Going to try and branch out into other kinds of furry subject matters like I have been. I'm already laying down the ground work for all of that, so hopefully it will be as painless a transition as possible. Deviantart and Inkbunny will be easy because I can just take steps to change the name on the same account. Tumblr and Furaffinity will be a little more difficult as I may lose some followers in the jump.

I'll let you all know as soon as it's ready, and thanks to all the participants of the raffle!

Just as I was talking about achieving the goal I set out for, it happens. I have a picture with a score of over 100 on Derpibooru! *confetti* My next goal for another free raffle will be when I hit a certain amount of pictures in my gallery.

For now, it’s the same rules as before. Entry is absolutely free, just contact me in any way saying you want your name in the drawing. Send me a reply or note on deviantart, furaffinity, inkbunny, or tumblr.

The names across all accounts will be pooled and drawn from. The more entrants there are, the more winners there will be. If your name is drawn, then you get a free request for a colored sketch, so long as it is not too extreme or offensive. No scat, gore, or insulting other artists.

I’ll be accepting names for one week. Would you like your name in the drawing?


Also, for those who may not have seen it, I'm asking some questions about what I should do with my art in the future. You can check out the journal and details about that here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6268703/

I'd love your feedback.

Hey there. Throwing out feelers for potential ideas and suggestions due to current trends I’m seeing in other artists. Feel free to share your thoughts on any of the matters listed and even add to the list of things you think I should/shouldn’t do.

Streaming
Been trying to get this to work for a while. Whether it’s my computer or internet speed, I just can’t seem to find a good way to show my drawing process. If I were to do this regularly, chances are I’d be doing it late night Mondays. Should I continue trying to set up a stream channel or would it be too much effort for too little interest?

Raffles
I had a lot of fun with the last raffle I did. I’d like to do another when I achieve a certain goal, but maybe change it up. I’ve been seeing a lot of ‘Your Character Here' going on, and I think it'd be funny to see who'd be willing to put up their OC at a chance of getting 'sploded. Think I should do what I did last time? Do a YCH raffle? Or something else?

Name Change
I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Number one reason for this is that I need a new tumblr. My current is not a main blog so I cannot watch/follow other artists with it. Plus, and I didn’t know when I started out, but it turns out there are quite a few more people whose name just starts with ‘Pony’. Plus, I’m trying to branch out into other furry kinds to mix with boom-booms. Should I change my name? Do you have any suggestions for something better to call myself?

Sketches
In an attempt to be more regular, I could just start posting a ton of sketches and then completely line and color those that get good feedback. Would that work for you guys or do you like the occasional fully done picture without too much clutter?

Thank you for taking the time to read and even more should you decide to help me out with your opinion. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Hey guys!

The time of spookiness is upon us again, and I need some help coming up with a suitable picture. You know what that means:

SUGGESTION CONTEST!

For those new who don't know the rules, just give me an idea for a Halloween theme picture, preferably with big boobs and BOOM involved. Pick a pony, costume, scenario, props, etc, and send it to me via comment or PM. The one I like best will be drawn out and honorable mentions will get sketches. I'm looking for creative use of themes here.

Also, let's have a little fun as well. In this journal, feel free to ask me anything and I will answer it, so long as it isn't too personal. Anything you want to know about what makes me tick? Ask away.

So I think I've spent enough time away. I'll be posting everything from the past month, but I'll warn you, it isn't much.

However, I am now taking commissions again with new lower prices:

Sketch: $3
Colored Sketch: $6
Color Shaded Sketch: $12
Lineart: $7 B&W Lines $10 Color Lines
Flat Color: $10 B&W Lines $13 Color Lines
Full Shading: $15 B&W Lines $20 Color Lines

Additional charges for:
OCs
Complicated backgrounds
Additional characters
Elaborate props
Explicit content

Message me if interested!

Due to repeated harassment from another user, I'm going to be hiding away from FA for a while. This means I will not be uploading any pictures or announcements here until I feel safe enough to come back. There are other places you can watch me, and I will be keeping in contact with people here about commissions or trades.

Sorry it had to come to this. Hopefully see you guys soon.

About seven days until I pull the plug and start working on the winning entries. Get in those suggestions if you have them!

Well, I've already let people know this was happening, so I might as well announce it officially.

The 4th of July is coming, and you know what that means. FIREWORKS!

So I want suggestions for sexy pictures of pony babes with whatever goes bang boom ka-pow! First place prize is a fully drawn, lined, colored, shaded pic and honorable mentions shall get sketches. So get creative!

The contest shall be going until June 30th. Until that time, I'm afraid commissions shall be closed.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

A big thanks to all of you who entered the raffle. It was fun to do and I liked being able to just churn out a few good/quick sketch works that people are apparently happy with. I might have to do this more often, but my next contest will probably be another suggestion contest for July 4th. Get ready for that!

Would you guys like to see more raffles/suggestion contests? Or would you rather a different kind of contest for art? Post below and let me know what you think.

All those whose names were drawn should have PMs waiting. If you do not, then better luck next time.

Collecting names then doing the drawing in the morning. Just a warning, drawing will come from a pooled list of all entrants I've gotten across DA, FA, and IB.

Feel free to enter in the previous journal if you haven't already.

Well, I said I was taking a break, but this should be fun!

Simply post a comment on this journal to get a chance at receiving a free colored sketch request. Post something generic, maybe a joke, or some song lyrics.

There will be multiple winners and their names will be drawn in one week.

First off, thank you everyone who responded to my last journal. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Now then, after my next picture I'm going to be taking a little break in order to work on other projects. Commissions will still be worked on, albeit at a slower pace. In the meantime, I have a bit of money and would like others who are willing to draw some bomb clop while I'm away. For those of you who don't know, my basic method of commissioning someone is saying "give me something pony with big boobs and big booms!" and leaving them to figure it out from there.

If there's an artist that you feel would do well with the idea, feel free to suggest them here. If you are an artist yourself and are interested, please feel free to note me directly with your prices. The final say is by me, but while I don't like to think of myself as picky, there are certain points that will draw me towards some artists more than others.

However, I'm afraid I don't want to commission someone who has already drawn something for me before. Here's the list of artists along with their wonderful work:

marauder6272 ~ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12214193/
Dizzy ~ http://dizzysdomain.tumblr.com/post.....anthro-octavia
phallen1 ~ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12487306/

Toxiee ~ http://toxiee.deviantart.com/art/Pa.....Bomb-440946047
ArchDamian ~ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13055056/


So with all this in mind, who do you think can draw my interest best?

Hey guys. Due to some recent stress, certain trends I've been noticing, and a disagreement with a couple people, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

What is it that you like about my art? Does the explosion fetish add or take away from the art for you? Which is your favorite piece I've done so far?

If you have time, I'd really appreciate an answer. If not, I hope you continue enjoying my artwork anyway.

I know this is short notice, but who’s got an idea for this upcoming Sunday? Same as always, best idea gets full pic and sketches for honorable mentions.

Priority goes to detailed ideas, creative use of subject matter, and non-OC characters that I haven’t used yet.

So that new computer search is... going really poorly. Managed to find a little something that should have been able to get me back in business. However, a strange interaction with program files happened. It keeps freezing, something about kernels, and it's just a mess.

Might do a follow up to the Daring Do and Dash pic in MS Paint again.

On a lighter note, I do have some money left to commission someone else if they are interested. Feel free to throw out suggestions or offer your services yourself. I'm still up for the possibility of art trades, but that will have to wait for obvious reasons.


Quick note about how/why I commission people:

I give you the money and just say "draw something with big boobs, ponies, and explosives". I love to be surprised. Come up with whatever you can think of along these lines and do not worry about me not liking it. You are drawing for as much me as everyone else who enjoys this kink. I commission solely for there to be a variety of art for an uncommon fetish fueled by the imagination of as many artists as possible.

Not saying I don't/won't ask for specifics based on personal preference every now and again, but this is how I do it about 90% of the time.

Hope that makes sense.

Good news: I found a couple artists willing to take commissions for some 'splodey ponies, so prepare for some variety!

Bad news: My computer broke down and I can't get it to boot at all.

Good news: I have a replacement!

Bad news: It's old, slow, and none of my art programs work on it.

Good news: I have money saved up for a new computer!

Bad news: It'll take a while for me to work on projects, so all progress has come to a halt until I can fix this.

Pardon my problems. Hope to be back up soon.

Finally, some concrete prices. Here's how it works:

Sketch: $4
Colored Sketch: $8
Color Shaded Sketch: $15
Lineart: $10 B&W Lines $18 Color Lines
Flat Color: $15 B&W Lines $23 Color Lines
Full Shading: $25 B&W Lines $35 Color Lines

OCs: +10%~25%
Additional Characters: +50%
Explicit content: +10%~20%
Backgrounds/Props: +10%~50%

All prices subject to adjustment for complexity. Will give you final estimate before agreement.

Send me a note here, DA, IB, or tumblr if interested.

Here's the link. Details and big-boobed ponies inside!

As you know, I have a very strange system for commissions. One of haggling rather than set prices. I would like some more business, but I think that strange uncertainty scares away a lot of potential commissioners so I would like to ask you guys for advice.

How much would you say is a fair price for a commission by me?

- Sketches to update more frequently
- NSFW Explicit material (More nudity, sexual acts, etc.)
- Male ponies
- Animations

I’m sorry for all the questions, but I feel like I’m trying to spread myself out too thin by attempting everything at once. You guys are my drive, so asking you all want makes me feel like I’m heading in the right direction.

So what would you like to see? You may select more than one in your suggestion, or something else entirely if you have another idea.

So I’ve been trying to think of ideas about how to get more involved in the clop community. Art trades and commissioning other artists so far has been all well and good, but I want something to interact with my fans.

Livestreaming comes to mind. Of course when it comes to drawing and my use of Adobe Illustrator, I cheat more than a guy with a helium-filled butt running hurdles. It’d end up just be an hour or so of me making one line and then fiddling with the points of it to fit a sketch, over and over again. And the fact that I still use CS3 programs is rather embarrassing. I’ve been learning and practicing SAI, but that doesn’t quite give me the clean vector look I’m come to strive for, yet.

I can do sketches, however. Nice, quick, easy ones in bite-sized bits of sexy based on requests. There’s not too much I won’t draw, all things considered. Have some trivia or something to decide the next request, could be a lot of fun.

But I want to know if I’d have an audience that’d be worth justifying the effort. If you’d like to see it, reply with your preferred day of the week and time along with any ideas you may have to spice up the stream.

Until next time!

Final 24 hours that I'm accepting suggestions for a Halloween picture!

Remember, I'm looking for:
-Halloween and/or Fall theme
-Sexiness
-Something explosive

First place shall be a full coloring and honorable mentions shall be sketched. So send your suggestions in!
