'Ello~ 👀

I'm coming out of inactivity for a moment to announce that I'll be visiting EF this year!

Who else is going?

Also I'll probably be wearing my trusted badge again bc I'm too lazy to make a new one and this one deserves a round 2 of being worn!

---

Now, I haven't been using this account for quite a while.
I originally made it to make commissions tailored specifically to what I believed at the time would be well-received in the fandom, because I really needed money and my "regular" kinda niche furry work wasn't exactly giving me the pool size of clients I needed at the time to pay for school.

I might or might not create more adult artworks in the future (for money or just out of my own accord), but for now I want to focus more on worldbuilding, Pranko's species and his lore - and vtubing.

Yes, you read that right, vtubing. I'm considering doing Art, Gaming, Reaction and Just Chatting streams with Pranko as your host. I have the necessary equipment - now all that's left for me is to draw and rig the 2DLive avatar - which I have never done before, but I got a tutorial on how to make them and we'll see where it goes, I guess.
(If anyone of you is really really good at rigging Live2D avatars with long faces or knows someone who does, I'd be interested in commissioning a full rig perhaps!)

What does this mean for the future of this account?
I want to keep the namesake Pranktail (bc it is a good one) and make Pranko the main focus of it. I might move the previous art to another account, separating the character from the adult works. Not that I have an issue with the works itself but I'd like to shift the focus away a bit from the sexual stuff. If you want to unfollow, that's completely understandable!
Orrr I might just pick a new name for the vtuber stuff and leave this account inact just as it is.

I hope you'll stick around though to take this journey with me! I'd be thrilled to entertain you all with Pranko's antics :D

Heyyy!

Long time no see!
I've been mostly busy with life. Just poking in real quick to say that I made a side account for my 'regular' art.
https://www.furaffinity.net/user/lindblut

What I put here on this account was specifically tailored after the community's tastes.
I've debatted whether I should upload my regular art here too or not, but ultimatively decided against it. I like to keep these two branches of my art seperated.

When will I be uploading art on this account here again? Who knows. Only time will tell. There are some old pieces I would like to wrap up eventually and showcase, and I have some plans for Pranko and his species.
I'd also perhaps draw more of Matura and her queen bitch sister again.

Until then, have fun exploring what I usually draw and see you soon.

So long 😎

Hey, fellow tails!
It's been forever since I logged in here! I'm astounded I still get new watchers and people buying stuff from my RedBubble shop despite not having uploaded anything since forever!

I haven't drawn any erotic furry art since I stopped taking private commissions years ago, but I'd like to dust off this account and start working on some stuff, again!

I also rebooted my twitter account which you can find here: https://twitter.com/Pranktail_
For now I'll just crosspost old artwork, but if I'll make anything new I'll make sure to upload it here as well!

Hope you've all been doing splendidly well!

So long,
Pranko

Yooo, happy 2019 to you all!

I'm alive and well and still fairly active on my other art account (the one that start with "lind" and ends with "blut") - I just haven't posted on this account in a long while bc I haven't really made any art for it.
I'm employed fulltime as 2D game artist again since last year Oct and I love my new job. But I'm also exhausted a lot after work bc that's what 8h of work do to me. Even if I just sit on my butt and draw stuff :B

I'll try to be more active again in the near-future. Maybe even make a discord channel or something?
I've got some neato art pieces of Pranko recently from talented artists and friends and I'll submit them sometimes soon (as a starter, or something)

Hope you're all doing well and that this year brings you lots of joy and good stuffs!

Edit: whoops. I accidentially nuked my inbox. If you left some important comment, I'm not ignoring you. I'm just dumb lol.

So long,
Pranko

I sometimes found a rock and I think I am looking at a fossil but I'm not sure.

Anyone can confirm?
Pics of the mystery rock on my twitter:

Kinda odd question but... anyone here maybe got a perma premium livejournal account and is willed to sell it?
I have seen people have them, but they're not something you can buy (I think lj handed them out to people for community service for a while or something)

I'd really like to have one.
If you got one or know someone with one who'd sell, please contact me at pranktail(a)googlemail(DOT)com

Hey fellow tails,

can anyone recommend me over-ear headphones that are soundproof to the outter world for 50$ or less?
I need them for work bc I'm driving my art lead crazy while blasting my ears lol

Thanks for any suggestions!

Kinda curious.
Triangles and hexagons have been really 'in' in the last 3 years?
It's really interesting to me which shapes are trending and which ones people favour.

Traditional or Digital? Or both?

Hey fellow tails,

as it came to my attention recently, Trouble Tickets have been leaked from FA's database.
Looking at the leaks, all TTs up to 4th of May 2016 were leaked, including confidential information within them which were meant for admin-eyes-only.

I don't know if I am allowed to place any links here, but there is a thread on 8chan's furry board regarding the leak, so if you are curious you can probably find it yourself.

I want to remember people that FA is unfortunately target to hacking rather often as it seems, and with hackers having been successful in the past more than enough times, please keep confidential information out of notes and TTs, they are not safe there!

I've disabled notes for these reasons mainly a while ago, so if you want to talk to me in private please reach me via e-mail.

Edit: appearently passwords & hash & salt were leaked, too. I am unfamiliar whether these password leaks are new or are still the same from the leak last time, but I recommend changing passwords just to be on the safe side.

So long and best,
Pranko

Beautiful indie game project which is still in developement; it looks promising already!
There'll be a kickstarter coming up soon for funding the game.

So here is my obligatory "where to find me" journal among the others people post now.

The Other End of the Leash by Patricia B. McConnell

It's genuinely the only book about dogs you will ever need to truely understand how dogs are wired.
It's a great book for starters and long-time dog owners alike. I had dogs all my life and I still learned so much new stuff from reading it, and it's backed by research and scientific studies.

I was thinking about this yesterday and I wondered;

wouldn't it make sense for any alien species (even if they appear anthromorphic/humanoid) to have unconventional ways of reproduction?
Anyone else thinking it's kinda uncreative or lazy if they happen to reproduce the same way humans/most mammals do?

There is already such a great diversity in reproduction from species to species, particulary class to class (compare how mammals reproduce vs fish, for example)

... or would it be literally too 'alien' and not relateable if an anthromorphic, alien species would have sex any other way than humans/mammals do?
Would it seem too weird, too crazy or fetish-like to ellaborate on it if it was unconventional reproduction?

Example: it seems to work great in the Alien universe with the whole idea of parasite aliens sort of impregnating the host with a hatching that later bursts through the chest and killing it, but I think it's only acceptable because 1.) it's not as sexual as anything related to human genitalia (although I have seen my share of pornographic facehugger art lol) and 2.) aliens are the antagonists and ferocious, thus they are not regarded as equal, good-natured sentinent beings

ChimeraSynx has touched the subject before with one of their artworks;
http://www.furaffinity.net/full/872867/ (nsfw)
and I find myself agreeing to that.

Opinions?

Like, really much?
Here are some really great videos about dogs, their capabilities and proper dog training, which I think any canine enthusiast should watch at least once.

Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljNXNJDDeds

I'm desperately hunting for some cartoon from my childhood days;
I've already looked in so many directions, it's amazing that I find nothing, aside from other people vaguely making similar mentions in forums but no info really turning up?! Maybe somewhere here does remember it and even has a name?

I must have been around 4-5 years old watching it, so the cartoon has to be from 1992 or (much more likely) earlier.

It was about some green goblin/gremlin/troll, I remember the character had a tail with a tuff at the end and long ears (so less humanoid than say, David the gnome, but more human faced than Toadie from Gummi Bears.). I think the character also wore some big hat.
The style was somewhat similar to The Last Unicorn (I think).
The name of the series was some fantasy word, like the character's name, but it was a rather outstanding one. I just can't remember it. I read "Hubbedidick" in another forum and I think that rings a bell!

I don't remember the plot at all, but I do remember that I absolutely loved the series, and there is a very vivid memory about me sitting above the TV magazine telling my back-then babysitter about my favourite shows, and when I pointed at the screenshot of the series, she said it's one of her favourites, too. I think it was one of those series that always came with morale-of-the-day stories.

I really wished I had more information than that, but I really don't.

Hey, still around!
Doing progress whenver I can! Commissions are slowly melting away but they are getting done!

Here are some (old) news;
I got to meet  kiki-uma and their husband Romi in May, hard to believe so much time passed since then! We had a really great time together which wa smostly made of cooking, eating what was cooked, drawing and playing Super Mario World (yes, on an actual Super Nintendo console). Somehow Kiki and Romi completed the game and got all 96 level(endings). I'm amazed!!
Both were really kind and a joy to have around! I want to go visit them in Japan sometimes!

Some newer news:
Work's been a bit of a bummer lately, we got a new art lead and he's... special. I find it hard to work with someone who's hard to predict and seemingly two-faced.
Otherwise the project is fine and the second production started. I can't really tell a lot more but for those who are interessted, I'm working on a browser game (which is already launched at this point).

The newest news:
I heard a wild Pranko will be around at EF this year...

Two of my favourite artists, namely

 commissionsbyj &  sulacoyote

have kicked off their project
Empire of the New Sun

I love their work and vivid ideas, and just in case you have not yet heard of them, please check out their project's website for more information;

http://www.empireofthenewsun.com/

And if you're feeling generous and like the project as much as I do, donate some money and get this thing really off and going!

Anyone knows anyone who does personalized resin masks/takes commissions for those?

I would love to aquire something of the quality of  missmonster's, but I know she's not doing personalized masks and unfortunately her Kitsune masks (something that I could have used as base for Pranko) went out of order a long, long while ago (and by the looks of it, they will never return either, aw).

I was thinking that if I ever would do some sort of fursuit thing for Pranko, it would be a humanized version with a mask sort-of-design.
I think an actual fursuit would break the character's anatomy, especially because I'm not a long, slim person. I don't have a super long neck either, hah.
The idea of Pranko being a shifter is mighty appealing, too. I need to draw his humanized form once I got a bit of air for goofing around.

But yeah, if anyone knows any artist on or offsite who offers something in the quality of this:
