Welp, get ready for the one journal you might get this year from me lmao... but in all seriousness, everything on my FA is very out of date, my previous journal mentioned I had Twitter/X, I have since declared I won't be posting on there anymore (although I still lurk and like posts because I know people still use the site, it has plenty of preg content still being posted, I'm just not interested in posting on it anymore personally) and my profile isn't even up to date-- I'm not 31, I'm 33 now aha..

anyyy ohhhh
You may be wondering, if you don't follow me on social media, do I still draw? The answer is yes. Presently I posted on bsky: https://bsky.app/profile/psycho-flames.bsky.social
Which is the only place I tend to post these days, sometimes as you may have noticed, I might post on FA but I often forget to, but all of my recent stuff is on there if you're interested :3c it's mostly fanart atm, some oc, I'm just hanging out there.

I don't really have more to add, life is still the same, hope you're all doing alright, please take care <3

Activity here is pretty grim uh, from me I mean. But I'm not too inactive drawing actually, I started picking it up more and I have been drawing mpreg content (I even took commissions recently, whoa). I just haven't posted here yet, I dunno if I will? It's all human art anyway and I know people are fine with that but I'm so out of practise drawing anthro/furry that I haven't even attempted much, I did a sketch I'm just.. so unhappy with the quality of it.

anyway, if you wanna see what I'm up to and my FA has been quiet, check out my twt account: https://x.com/psychoflames2

I--
I don't watch a lot of people, my inbox is often empty and I thought it would be nice to follow some more/new peeps! But I'm not sure where to look or who to watch so I was wondering, would any one make any recommendations?

Some slight preferences when it comes to content:
- Mpreg/Preg (mostly mpreg, but I'm not generally that picky)
- Some inflation themes (I like a little air inflation, cum, stuffing etc)
- NSFW preg is okay but I like sfw mostly
- Ovi is a-okay!
- wholesome family content, I like that too! I love fluffy family stuff (bumps included ofc)

Not keen on:
- Vore
- Hyperpreg .. Just hyper stuff in general

Also, just because I'm not keen on something, if some one posts stuff in my preference list, then that's fine, as long as I can enjoy some stuff. Not keen is really there for accounts 100% focused on those things <w>

May update this list depending on suggestions, I'm running on empty atm lmao

So uh, nothing changed since my last journal. Not really anyway, things are still the same since then, I mean some stuff has happened both good and bad but... stuff happens, y'know?

I'm just dropping in to PSA of sorts for usage of my art:

- Do not repost my work (this is includes pintrest, tumblr, twt, pixiv, etc etc)
- Do not use my work in anyway (bases, tracing, AI stuff), it's absolutely forbidden.
- Do not use my work in avatars, banners, user profile images of any kind.
- If you want to use my work - ASK, most of my annoyance with people using my work is people not asking, if you ask and I say yes, just inc artist credit, it's that simple (also, if I don't respond, that isn't an automatic answer, that is NOT permission, if you don't have actual permission - DO NOT USE.)
- I'm very against my work being used by AI software
- Unauthorized use of my work will be reported or DMCA claimed.
- If the art is for you (like I did it as a art trade or commission /for you specifically/), you don't need to ask to repost but credit is required.
- Do not remove my watermarks. No one is allowed to do that. I give people non-watermarked versions if the piece was for them but that's for private use and that version should not be reposted.

I know some roll their eyes at this sort of stuff but it's my work, please respect that I don't want it miss used or posted some places. Please.
If you see my work being misused, do inform me. I go by psycho-flames on most platforms (although my one and only pixiv account uses Rii for a few pieces, dw that is actually me), so you'll probably know it's me.

I haven't posted on Tumblr since the theft incident in March 2021, so anything posted after date is not me.

Been a while since I made an appearance here, uh? I hope you're all doing well! I know some of you don't follow me on twitter and only a few have my discord so I thought I'd post here about this and that.

I have made a few posts on twitter over time, just to drop in, say hi etc but I didn't post any art until recently when I dared to post something. As you may or may not know, I got really down and beat over people taking my art work and it left me feeling.. so deflated and it the situation didn't exactly improve, the issue I had a tumblr user using my art was never resolved, tumblr decided to not help me or resolve the problem so that person is still using my work - they certainly do not have my permission -- anyway, my new piece was posted on my twitter which is currently protected still (and has been during the entirety of my hiatus). I do miss drawing tummy art, so much so that I decided to ask for art trades over on twitter so I will be making even more new art soon and the piece I mentioned already, that's sort of a project I'm slowly working on. I'm not saying I'm now active again but I'm saying I am making art sometimes.

It's not like I've not drawn over the last months, my main twitter account has all my other art on it, I draw mostly fanart these days of a certain franchise QwQ~ I just haven't been drawing tummy art until lately, it was nice to go back to it.. I'm just, worried I guess. (The reason I haven't removed all my pieces from sites is for reasons like; On tumblr, you can delete a post but if it has already had reblogs, it stays around :/ Even if I could hide all my art, people do save my uploads and they are likely to repost it against my wishes, I don't know why people think they are entitled to do that but they do, I've seen it happen to artists - just a quick reminder, do not repost my art, it's not nice at all to do that and it's really disrespectful to do it against an artists wishes!!). You may wonder what brought me back and managed to make me draw tummy art again - well, I mingled a tiny bit with the fan base of the franchise I enjoy and they have wrote pregnancy stories and after throwing ideas at each, I felt motivated to draw some of the ideas. It happened pretty naturally too, I found out they shared an enjoyment of fluffy family dynamics, including the pregnancy part and eventually when I was 100% sure, we started talking over discord about stuff including pregnancy topics with the characters and it was fun!! To find some one in such a small fanbase who doesn't mind it, feels so good;; ; I haven't made it 100% obvious that I'm into pregnancy themes on my main, I still feel /very/ uneasy about being so open about it since it is my safe space and I would like to keep it that way. But yeah, that happened.

Life in general has been hectic. My art production has slowed down a LOT because I'm just so tired and exhausted constantly..
I got a new job, finally leaving my old stressful one, I've settled in nicely but it's more hours so I'm available less and more tired (''':
My health remains terrible, but that's nothing new. Like lately I had to be put on antibiotics for a swollen ear canal and perforated ear drum (I guess an losing battle with an ear infection for years will do that to you >3>;)
I turned 30. Yay.
I did also have a good long think about my identity too. For a long time I've just.. not felt, right? Nothing did. For years I identified as genderfluid for a long time, about 12 years actually, after speaking to a friend about it, they described me as that so I just went with it.. But for years now I haven't felt that was right and I just didn't know anymore, pronouns I've used didn't feel right at all, in fact they made me uneasy, but I was too afraid to ask or confined in anyone. I had a chat with my partner about how I felt randomly one night on our way back from an card game event and suddenly I felt like I figured it out finally, I didn't feel he pronouns were right but I also didn't feel she pronouns were right either. I dunno why it took me so long to figure that out, I've always wanted a neutral look and why I couldn't figure out that's what I was.. is beyond me, maybe it was anxiety or something, I'd really like to know?? I definitely feel on edge talking about my gender, especially since I bring this up with no one other than my partner (people I know irl made me feel a little too anxious about being open about my gender) .. but identifying as non-binary feels right and perfect, it feels like "me" and I'm happy to finally figure out who I am. I'm Nao! I'm They/Them and I'm 30 years old. This has been a confusing and difficult journey, self discovery is never easy and I've never felt more myself for the first time in years.

I don't really have anything else to add in the life department, my life isn't very interesting >3>;

But anyway, I hope you're all doing well, keep safe and see you around, hopefully!!

So in case you didn't know, I had a small break down recently and it's because I'm so tired and fed up with people stealing my art when it's not for them to use. I've had people take art work I've done for others or others have paid for and some entitled brats come along and decide the want to use it themselves.

Am I against my work being used? No but I have conditions and exceptions. My biggest no-no's include people using commissioned art, gift art, art trade and art generally made for some one specifically - it's the whole "Don't touch what doesn't belong to you" rule which I shouldn't have to explain, when I've drawn it for some one specific I usually make a note of it in the image description and if it has a name, it's not "Free to use". I do not give permission for people to use these pieces of art but if you ask the person it's for if it's okay, then you have my okay - otherwise, no touching! u_u

This also goes for my OC art, my characters are my characters and you shouldn't be using them.

I'm more than happy to let people use fan art I've drawn, provided there's credit (This can be for icons, profile art, ID's, reposts etc, credit MUST be given).

Obviously I'll report any reposts for art made for others. For fan art, reposts are only allowed with permission and credit and I allow reposts if I've made the art specifically for you, with credit, you don't even need to ask in that regard.

Anyway, to protect art meant for others, I'm starting to make a bulker watermark. It's ugly and I'm unhappy that it came to this but it'll be like this for the time being. It's the only way I can think of without putting my art behind a paywall.
I can only watermark so much since I don't have original files any more since I got a new laptop some months ago. I could save them but I don't have the original files so only heavy watermarked versions exist and a lot of places save as .jpg and reuploading them will lose a lot of quality.

Unrelated; I STRONGLY urge those who have had art off me to keep the original files I sent you safe, I couldn't recover the files.

To summarise:
If I didn't make the art for you, don't use it or repost it.

Sorry about all this. I'm not an unreasonable person but I have been on the internet 15 years and now I'm just tired and fed up.

Hello, hello~

I keep going inactive, I'm really sorry about that ^^; A lot of the time I forget to check in here and it's partly because I'm active else where but also I've been busy with other art and even recently I was really unwell.

Anyway, I know I get a lot of people asking about my commissions on here and I feel bad that people end up not hearing from me on months on end about it but I'd highly suggest catching me on Twitter ;w; I'm the most active there and my commissions always go live on there first.

You can catch me on Twitter, here: https://twitter.com/psychoflames2
I'm still on Tumblr too but same applies, I'm not very active on there either (it's a side blog too so I can't do much with it really aha) and commissions don't go up straight away there.

Thank you for reading! ^^

Just keeping those who ordered updated but there was a slight delay due to a covid related incident causing minor delays.

The procedure for it here is to stay home/inside for 10 days from the first symptom. However by time a positive result came in, the worst of it already passed and it had already been like 6 days? So basically what I'm saying is that there's was a 3-4 day delay. It might not be much but it did prevent me from making a start on any commissions last week and making any one wait longer than I was supposed to, honestly makes me feel bad. My schedule isn't stable either, I can only work 4-5 days a week on commissions and which day I'm free varies due to irl stuff.

I should be able to work on commissions this week, I'm hoping I'll be able to start tomorrow if nothing goes wrong ;w;
Sorry for the delay.

(to clarify, it wasn't me who had covid but it did cause problems that prevented me from drawing)

I've been in such a mood to draw pokemon lately
if you have a Pokemon character I can draw with a tum, please drop a ref!!

They will only be rough doodles like this; https://sta.sh/0f4znfzo24l
Pokemon anatomy isn't my strong point, although I'll probably be able to draw bi-pedal or anthro-ish Pokemon better.. so bare that in mind :'3

Some notes:
- To clarify; This is NON-human (aka no trainer characters etc, it has to be actual Pokemon like characters >w<)
-If you have an idea I can work with, please include it!
-I need a visual reference, no written
-If you're uncomfortable with large tums, lemme know (because I'll more than likely draw most 'mons with litters rather than singles, such as the example where he is carrying two)
-I won't be drawing genitals!
-Anthro'd Pokemon will be simplified to be more like their Pokemon counter parts (in other words if you share a rather humanised Eevee, it'll be drawn closer to its original feral like form since that's what I'm aiming to draw with this journal qwq)

I really hate this.

I don't mean posting these journals - the fact I go so long without posting or anything. 1-2 pieces a month really makes me feel.. useless. I really love drawing, it means everything to me, it's what I spend most my free time doing. But lately, a combination of other things such as non-mpreg commissions (aka things I don't post on my psycho-flames accounts), a week away from my laptop, illness and art block, has prevented me from drawing as much as I wanted :'/

I will be drawing again Wednesday, hopefully - I owe a commission and I have an ask on tumblr I'd like to complete so I'm going to work towards that ;w;

I really need to get out of this slump.. somehow q-q

I'm sorry to all you guys too, I feel like I'm wasting your time after you kindly decided to follow my works, I don't imagine it's interesting to watch some one who doesn't really post much (T w T )

You can follow my tumblr if you'd like/have one, it's almost just as dead at the moment but some submissions and sketches that don't make it to FurAffinity, go on there >w< You can follow me @ https://psycho-flames.tumblr.com/ (FYI: I will be hosting an art raffle there as soon as I'm free to~ )

Sorry for the inactivity here, I'm trying to be active again (and even a little more social when people comment on my stuff aha.. I'm not very social OTL)

But anyway, at the end of the month-ish, my commissions will finally re-open!
Not much will change, however the biggest change is going to be the method in which I take money commissions! I'm going to use Ko-Fi since people don't need an account to send money and it uses paypal - I guess it's a bit of a way to help with the back charge paranoia I have? I'm still REALLY paranoid about money scams.. especially when it can put me in debt, that's just scary q-q' But I'll still know it's you who's sent payment before I get the receipt in my paypal account so all you do then is confirm your paypal address with me! :3

Here's what you can expect: https://www.deviantart.com/psycho-f.....osed-776305139
This lists how many Ko-Fi's you need to send (Each Ko-Fi is £3, you just change the quantity!)
Any help you need with using it, I'll provide when you order if you ask ^^

Of course you can still send Ko-Fi's (or FA's ones? xD) if you just want to support my work! <3
Funds will go towards a new laptop (mines dying and I can't art without it), moving out and a new tablet; All things to help me produce art in some way for you guys ^^

Thank you for reading!

ps;
I thought about rewards for donations but I don't know what to offer, I'm not sure what other artists do aha;;

Uff, I have been doing commissions/art but I've not been posting them here - yet, no real reason, I just .. haven't :^)
I still feel really bad about how much I failed at may-ternity and really wish I had time to finish the sketches and may not be until August.

On the note of commissions, I have been re-working them so I can use the Ko-Fi website (which means a couple of my options are now a smidge cheaper ewe) to take paypal payment. I have come to fear taking paypal commissions due to back payment scams and general scamming, it's the reason they were closed ;w; So I'm hoping Ko-Fi will work out and then I#ll open them up here late August!

The mayternity one I mean (which you can find pinned on the front of my profile)

This is just a tiny update!

> Tentatively changing my mind on the Pokemon rule but leave a second idea with a back up for me, just in case ;w;
> No more bed/sofa related requests, please! xD;
> as a PSA, I won't be drawing breast, I know realistically they'd grow on guys, I'm just not comfortable with drawing breasts and nipples, sorry! qwq
> Depending on how well I do with submission, will depend on quality, if I start running out of time, my work might be reduced to flat colour or sketches
* If any of these apply to your request, feel free to edit your comment or repost. If you want to also ask about something before posting in that journal, feel free to ask here in this journal or note me! :3

In other news, I did make a start, I thought I'd start drafting out things early to get on top of things to make sure I post some stuff but I'm still not sure how many I will get through, I don't have as much free time these days as I used to.

Don't worry about being too detailed and specific, I am actually really appreciative of that! XD
I have checked the requests, I've not ignored them all or anything, it'll be a nice surprise this way probably? .. Maybe qwq I'm used to messaging people to see how the piece looks so far just in case it looks wrong or I've missed something aha. Please bare with me ;O;

Thank you every one for your interest!

Oh jeez, I miss this event every year q wq
This year I want to try do as many pieces for mayternity as possible! Although knowing me, I'll struggle for ideas and what not and end up not doing anything - this might be where you guys come in and it may be a chance for you to get free art!

All you have to do is link a character, be it your own or an anime/manga/game character along with a pose and theme/idea (the more detailed and specific you are, the better)!
It won't be first come first served so it's not a grantee that I'll do your idea/character. It'll be human/anthro/furries only too, no ferals or Pokemon.

FAQ:
> Can you draw pairs/couples/multi characters
A: Aye! I won't draw no more than 2 characters in one image.

> What about NSFW art?
A: Describe it in your theme/idea, then maybe! >U>

> Can they be female characters?
A: I'm more of a mpreg artist, drawing female characters is so... difficult for me and I can promise I'd draw them pretty badly ^^' If they have a some-what masculine build (face included) and flat chested, then sure, I'll give them a shot.

> Would you do birth?
A: ehhh, that's bit of a grey area for me, I won't draw a baby coming out but waters breaking, labour pains etc are okay!

> What size belly would you draw?
A: I'll draw max of 9 months with twins, triplets at a push but I won't draw hyper preg, orz.

> Will you draw a friends character?
A: As long as you have permission!

> Can I ask for requests including your characters
A: If you need a second character for an idea or just don't have a character for an idea, I'll happily include my own (Either Peter, my cow or Rupert, my human character) and then there's my mpre fairyboi, Georgie who's a cheeky mischievous fairy who uses magic to trigger pregnancy in some one, so yeah feel free to have fun with that if you need/want him xD

> What kind of art are you doing?
A: It'll vary from sketches, line art, colour etc. But I will more than likely not be doing backgrounds unless I'm feeling confident.

Got a question? Ask! :3

**Commissions are on hold whilst I clear my to-do a little >u<

---

My commissions are open! https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29996100/
Don't forget to read through all the terms and conditions c:

I'm getting back on track with doing art more often and I thought I'd open a Ko-Fi account.

But does any one know if adult account is allowed, mpreg and birth/blood?
I just don't want to make an account I can't use aha

I was reading the terms and I'm sure I've seen artists who make adult art use Ko-Fi (and patreon for that matter)

I don't have any huge plans for Ko-Fi but any one who tips a lot will get free art but it's basically for £1 tips (which'll go towards a new tablet and other things to support my art), sketches and previews would posted on it.
Similar to my art blog: https://psycho-flames.tumblr.com/ But without the censors and more details.

I'm thinking of opening commissions again, with some changes though (including a small price increase, sorry aha, there is a reason why though ^^' There's a list below of the new prices).

I'm just seeing what the interest is first before I open them here.
I might be a tiny bit more confident with couples and hands, plus there's a shading style change!
Said shading style can be seen here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29306437/


Here's what the prices will look like:

Waist up:

Sketch: £7

Lined: £15

Flats: £18

Soft shaded: £25

Full body:

Sketch: £8

Lined: £20

Flats: £23

Shaded: £30

Extra costs:

A second character is 50% extra!

10% additional charges for NSFW content

It's mostly just for my comic and my characters but if you're interested in following it, here it is: https://psycho-flames.tumblr.com/

Some parts are still under construction but it's more or less up and running ^^

This is just a quick update to say that ArtFight finishes tonight (It got extended by a week because of all the site down time at the start) soooo - I'll be back on my to-do list! :3

I know I owe;
- Gift I keep promising
- Raffle prize

I don't know there's anything else but after these, I'm going to go back to working on my mpreg comic, I'd like to get 6-12 more pages out before the year ends, provided nothing comes up o;

As promised, I've picked a winner for my recent watcher raffle!

Congrats to dustin6!

I'll start it around 1st/2nd August, hopefully. You'll be noted when I'm done!
I am sorry about the delays and stuff around the raffle, I'll better organise myself for the next one, honestly the past month and half has been crazy and exhausting D:

Once again, thank you SO much for 100 watchers and thank you for your participation in my raffle <3

Ahhhh sorry for going inactive ;;; ;
my new job is really kicking me in the butt and my health hasn't been fantastic either ><

My raffle has ended and I will announce the winners tomorrow (I can confirm that the reward unlocked was "A simple knee up flat colour piece"). However I didn't know ArtFight was this month and I signed up for it a couple of weeks ago and I won't be working on commissions/raffle stuff until then ends at the end of July.

But other than that - Thank you to every one for being patient with me ;A;

I don't know if you saw in my raffle journal? I've got an optional extra ticket thing if you share the journal/raffle, you get an extra ticket - Now then, I'm not sure if it's okay to do? I haven't done is disregarding the rules of the site, I actually went through the forums, code of conduct and other pages to dig out this information but I didn't find much.

I can tell you how that went, here's what I wrote in a reply to some one;

"I feel like it was at some point but I've doubled checked the terms of service and code of conduct but I can't find anything? I only found not to include mature content or engage in mature content in journals which means this should be fine because it's work safe? qvq In the forums it mentioned it's forbidden it's a requirement but that's as much as I got (mines optional) and there was apparently in the code of conduct something about it but that is also gone (It was suppose to be section 1.12?)? I'd contact FA but I don't see a help desk either ^^;"

Is there any one who can clear this up for me?
Naturally I don't want to get into trouble so better safe than sorry? ;/

Edit: I've had some one else me so far that signal boosting is fine

This is long over due but I'm starting to get into the swing of things in regards to my new job and starting to handle my free time better so I figured I'd get this started!

So any way, thank you every one for your support, I wanted to celebrate 100 watchers as a chance to give a little something back to every one who follows me! I've also planned that the bigger the turn out, the better(?) the art prize ranging from a simple sketch to a four pose sequence image.

oh wow, I'm so happy, after a year of having this account, I've reached 100 watchers :3
I know I'm not the best or most active artist on furaffinity but it really means the world to me y'all follow me <3

I am going to hold an art raffle, I just want to clear my to-do list and a couple of other things firsts and then I'll work on organising that (as well as working on a new commission sheet). I might be a little slow to get to things in the next couples of days, I did strain my dominate arm recently and it's still hurting, please bare with me ; A ;

So for those who haven't noticed (because I don't know if you get notifications for the stuff I submit to scraps in your inbox??), I have post some sketches of pregnant Pokemon. It's a little different from me, I know so I wanted to say sorry for those who have seen and don't like it D: They are just stress relief doodles, when I'm having a rough day, it's nice to just sit down and doodle something simple and I did want to draw bellies too so this seemed like a solution. I keep them in my scraps so there probably won't be any in my main gallery. I won't be doing commissions for these for those who do like it/interested but I would be open to suggestions for the future.

Speaking of commissions, I did promise I'd open those this month, I'll do that once I finish up a couple of things and a commission on deviantArt. I'll update my commissions and such with additions of simple backgrounds and additional characters, these will cost extra but my base prices will stay the same. I'll be posting a new, more up to date commission sheet too (provided I have recent examples qAq)

Sorry for being so inactive and posting so little, I know that's normal from me now but I still wanted to let you all know I'm sorry and that I had more to post qvq
