I'm back~
General | Posted 8 years agoFinally not sick anymore! ... sort of. I'm still pretty tired and coughing a lot, but the worst is passed and I can kind of draw now. I just hope I can salvage what time I have left before CecilCon to finish preparing some art. I'm also pretty rusty because of not being able to draw for nearly 2 weeks, so I'd be happy to take sketch ideas to get back in the swing of things. Thank you all for being so patient!
Out Sick
General | Posted 8 years agoSorry to not be active at all, I caught a bad stomach virus on Tuesday and I'm still in pretty bad shape so I can't make any art or post much. Will update with more when I get better.
Closing commissions in 3 days!
General | Posted 8 years agoHello everyone! I promised to keep commissions the same price for a month, and the month is up! I have a good idea for what to change them to, but I'm going to be working out the exact pricing and examples over the next few days. I won't open them back up until everything is ready, so expect at least a few days of closed commissions. In particular, I will be offering some new options for what to buy, such as fullbodies, animated icons, and cartoony colored sketches made in SAI! If you are interested in buying one before I make examples (so that i can use the product as an example) PM me I may offer you a nice discount. This will probably be the last time I change prices for a long time, and the prices I lock in will be much closer to what other artists around my skill level are charging, so you should really contact me before then if want something close to what I have my listings at right now.
Now that I've gotten good practice at drawing other peoples' characters, I'm going to be spending my free time focusing on my own for a bit. Expect character animation and species concept art in the future. These have to do with my personal animation story and are designs I've been nervous about sharing before. If you like griffins, fauns, and sphinxes keep your eyes open!
As concerning my last post - everything worked out with that medical trouble, so I should be fine as far as energy goes! Additionally the Discord server I opened has been going fantastically, and I've been having fun doing quick art trades on there. Feel free to come join if you like, link is in the previous journal~

General Life Update I Guess?
General | Posted 8 years agoSo I've finally finished a working character design and character sheet for Roro! I'm really excited to have this reference on hand for work on fullbody animations and general personal work. It also means I can finally provide a good ref for art trades! If you're interested in giving her a shot and like my art, don't be afraid to shoot me a message! My gecko got an impaction and is going to need some time consuming daily care to recover (dumb girl ate a bug too fast), but all signs point to a speedy recovery. Don't worry, she's seen a vet already - I'll be following his instructions until she passes it and regains her appetite. In other news I've been having a lot of fun making new friends in the community, both on
monster-bones 's server and with a group from Deviantart. I'm really glad I decided to reach out to this community after all this time!
Some other people new to the furry art community and I have actually made a Discord for furry art if anyone is interested! It was primarily made as a safe haven for people new to the furry fandom, don't feel "furry enough" for most communities, or who might be skiddish around a lot of furry art or the furry label but want somewhere chill to fix that. You're free to join even if that isn't true for you, just so long as you try to be respectful to the fact that a lot of people will be new to everything or uncomfortable with some types of furry art. We'll have weekly drawing prompts, have a nice spot for art trades, and you can get art help via tutorials or critiques and redlines if you want. https://discord.gg/xXzxcc6
I'm not sure how much energy I'll have after the next week to get art done, because my life will get pretty busy soon and I may be mildly screwed when it comes to something medical, but I'll try to keep posting art! If you have any ideas for what kind of art I should draw or just want to chat, don't be afraid to hit me up~

Promised Update on Prices (2/22)
General | Posted 8 years agoHello again everyone! Since it's the 22nd I am officially changing the prices on my sketches and busts. If you wanted to order at the old prices I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I did give ample warning. After talking to some other artists I decided the prices I had in mind for this change, $1 sketches and $7 busts, is a little unfair pricing for others trying to make a living in this market, but I still don't want to make such a huge change in prices that it would be unfair to an unlucky buyer who waited too long or found me just a little too late. With this in mind the new prices starting today will be as such:
$2 rough b&w sketches
$10 colored and simple-shaded busts
However, I do have an account on Picarto (picarto.tv/Procompy) and if you catch me while I'm streaming some art you can commission me right then and there for the 50% off sketch prices, making it only $1 (and you get to see me draw it live!). The music I play is picked by Pandora and might have mild cursing or drug mention, but what I draw will always be 100% safe for work.
Please keep in mind these prices are locked in until at least March 15, and will not be changed until then.
Thank you all for your patronage and patience, and I look forward to working with you in the future!

Coming Update on Prices - Compy's Commissions
General | Posted 8 years agoHello everyone! I've been having a blast with commissions these last few days, and it's really given me the chance to evaluate what work goes into adapting another person's OC to my own style and learn how to do so more efficiently. Since my original pricing (50¢ sketches and $3 busts) was on a trial basis until I could get an idea of this and also gain the skills needed to adapt characters instead of generic animals, I will be adjusting my prices to something more fair to other artists and myself. Pricing will be tiered, and I won't settle on my final pricing for a few weeks yet when I get more experience.
My new pricing that I will be using starting in 3 days is as follows:
$1 via Paypal for single color or two-tone rough sketches (cannot request a specific pose or how much body is shown)
$7 via Paypal for a colored and shaded bust (can request specific pose or expression)
Please keep in mind this is still "sale" prices, as after several weeks have passed, and I have judged myself fast enough at completing art and gained a better mental reference of different body types and species, I will be using prices competitive on a more professional level to both better support my living expenses and to not antagonize other artists.
If you would like to order some art at my initial price of 50¢/$3, please contact me BEFORE 2am EST, Thursday the 22nd
Sorry if this is a disappointment to anyone, and I look forward to working with you all in the future.
