Hello, real RandyTheArtDog here!

I got news that someone impersonates me as "RandytheArtDog" on telegram and telling people my blusky and discord account got hacked

i have checked my discord and blusky accounts, there are no login sessions from someone else other than me, im fine and all my accounts are managed by real me! straight up lying.

my Telegram doesnt even use Randy or RandyTheArtDog in the username, its something completely different for privacy reasons (dont want to get stranger DMs because they looked up for randytheartdog)

so yeah, in all news, im alright, want to let you guys know dont get scammed by a Kenya-Randy that has been registered since January 2025, im not from Kenya LMAO


be safe out there! if you are not sure wether it is me or not feel free to send me a note here on FA or on my Blusky! thank you!

feel free to peek in! c: we working on a Randy Rockruff OC tonight! Live NOW!

You know guys, ive been working hard on this profile and am grateful to FA for being a popular Paw Artist that i am today.
Also i was reading through FA's Upload Policy again, and strangely enough, Digimon nor Pokemon Species were mentioned anywhere in these Policies, they seem to removed these specific species from their Policy.


I was monitoring on both IB and Itaku how well-received my art there gets, there are mostly familiar faces that starred/faved my stuff and i appreciate it, but in total, i got so little views/recognition for artworks on both IB and Itaku, it was rather disheartening for the past few weeks.
So my Plan is to come back to FA and upload there because seeing my Stats from uploads on both InkBunny and Itaku, it makes me NOT want to be an artist anymore not gonna lie.
In comparison:

My drawings on both IB and Itaku combined manages to get like roughly 25-30 likes/favs in a couple of days while when i upload on FA i get at least 50 favs in a mere hour. outdoing both IB and Itaku.
and it really takes away the satisfaction to draw and upload stuff on pretty unknown/avoided art websites (IB has it's black sheep because of cub art and other questioning content which i can now agree on, the content there is....weird) and Itaku is simply not known-well enough to build a community up like i did here on FA and got +30 followers while i was inactive which again, hurts.

It also shows, that most if not ALL my followers just have FA and stick with it which is fine and at some point, i have to make the decision to either abandon FA entirely leaving +2000 followers and start completely anew on other websites that most likely not everyone have or keep continuing on FA.

So my decision is to come back to FA and upload there again, FA is a monopoly when it comes to Furry Art and my Content is greatly appreciated by ALOT of people which i can't say about IB and Itaku.

Fingers crossed i will not get banned from FA for any content.


TLDR: Inkbunny and Itaku weren't as good as i hoped it would be, making it impossible to build a new fanbase on those websites so i return back to FA and upload my content there.

Heyas!

Just want to make sure to give you all the opportunity to give out my momentarily move from FA to Itaku and Inkbunny, I won't be posting any new Art here on FA, sorry!

So here are my Links for Inkbunny and Itaku if you want to stay updated! I'm sorry for all those, who have to switch around Accounts on a completely new Website, it sucks for me too because of how much of a community i have built here for years! let us all start fresh and strong!

I will all gladly see you on IB and Itaku!

Yeah i usually don't write any journals, cause why?

But here is a reason for me to do one now!
As you probably all have been known/noticed, there is a new Policy Update coming up on FA on July 1st.
The Issue here is, FA added the policy, of forbidding artists to draw "cute" characters NSFW AND/OR fetishize them in any way, i get the idea how they want to prevent underage porn drawings which is good, but the issue lies within proportions/anatomy, a prime Example would be Tom Nook from Animal Crossing. A Greedy ADULT Tanuki who runs a store but looks like a child proportion wise. so in theory youre not allowed to draw him 18+ or do any fetish stuff.
This is policy especially mentions Pokemon and Digimon Species, and you cannot imagine How many artists are affected by that change.
In my Opinion, i have aged up my characters enough to not have child-like anatomy but again, its subjective and there is a good Chance that my account and various other artists will lose their accounts by July 1st when the Policy is active.

So for the time being I will NOT post any new Art on my FA Gallery and instead move over to InkBunny and see how my FA Account holds up once its July, i can either keep my account or Art from at least 7 years will be wiped forever. it fucking sucks.

And i hate to switch around Platforms like that! I really love FA's UI and i also built a huge community there (thank you all so much again!)
and this is all on jeopardy right now. And im sorry if i get geniuenly pissed when people go and tell me and others "well then just don't draw said characters, its that easy"
statements like that makes my blood boil. also it is so VAGUELY explained in the policy rules its all depending on Moderators/Admins Opinion and every artist out there are on their toes in hoping to not get the account banned forever.

Sorry for the bad news, but i think its fair enough to let you all know what my plans are for now

I wish you all a good week and lets all hope for better times.

I won't be drawing for quite a while and go on hiatus.

So yeah i got my Handpaws on Dread the soon as it was Friday midnight!

Mostly my brother is playing the game and im just watching in amazement, the Game's difficulty is incredibly difficult and you literally shoot yourself in the face when you dont melee-counter enemy attacks, you get much less Resources if you just shoot em to death (in comparison if you counter them: they die in a few shots and drop like 5-7 energy and missile drops while without countering at all you need like 20 hits on an enemy dropping just one ball of energy/missile)

the E.M.M.I aint even the biggest threat in the game, its the Bosses for their irrational random attack patterns where you definetly need to get comfortable with the controls, learning their attack patterns and when its your opening for fire, if you go braindead into those kind of fights, youre dead on the spot because bosses hit like a truck where just one attack can just wipe out 2-3 energy tanks per swing, but fortunately if you die, you dont go back to the last save station, instead youre spawning back right in front of the boss' door with the current Health you had before the first fight so its not TOO frustrating.

also exploration wise you gotta be ready make yourself some mental notes on areas because once you get a power up i felt so overwhelmed thinking: holy shit XYZ power up was just what I needed! so many doors are open for me!"
so yeah you better be ready for serious exploration for additional health and missile packs you need em!


So for those who want a difficult, strategic metroid game, dread is right there! that is exactly what i wanted, a NON handholding metroid sequel, i worried about exactly that: handholding and bosses arent challenging, its quite the opposite and i fucking love it.

So first off, here is the link to the Movie

https://gogoanime.pro/anime/digimon.....on-kizuna-7qq6


I watched the movie yesterday and cried my eyes out of it and this movie sure tackles more towards "aged, older" digimon fans (i myself grew up with digimon since i was 7 years old when digimon adventures hit on TV in germany)
I can imagine people saying they don't like the movie at all, but this movie spoke to me and how realistic the moral behind this movie is.
I found the inclusion of the 02 Gang not really necessary and they didn't add up alot into the story really, was still nice to see them around though.

The moral behind last evolution is:

Do not linger in the past, look forward and move on or else you'll miss out on life. Growing up and learn to accept fates and choices you've made.

Thats how I interpret its plot

Id give the movie definetly a 9/10 and can advice you to watch it, just be sure to grab yourself a box of tissues.

So i let the day pass on and went back to sleep after the entire controversion on my twitter.
i read through most of the comments today and can agree to all of you:

yes, i am getting incredibly sensitive and serious when it comes to art and i had overreacted, my apology goes to GarudaX for this.

It was stupid from my side to take it so serious about it and from his side it was just a bad choice of words and everyone can interpret it differently.
i did unblock GarudaX on Twitter and here and all i want now is to move past this entire situation, i shouldve reacted differently but hey, im not perfect and i know
i can be incredibly sensitive, but thats how i am.

When i post sketches/wips on twitter and you wanna give me advice or tips i am fine with that, expect a recline if im not interested or fond of the idea.

but dont start arguments like this:

click here for the conversation

for the sake of this person, i censored him. he will most likely read this journal, if not i really dont care about it that much.
can you imagine how disrespectful this is to draw something and share it just to get shot down by someone who doesnt like the clothing, scenes etc of the drawing and tell the artist to change it for their own personal preference?

hey, if you dont like what i posted, that is fine by me, you dont have to click on it, neither write a comment about how disappointed you are in me. and then starting to argue with me that you didnt meant it like that. "boo, you didnt change what i wanted, im disappointed!" says everything, if you have so little respect towards me, literally spitting on my content and making me feel bad because i didnt go with your ideas, youre blocked, period.

And posting a screenshot where it shows that i blocked you wont change my mind to unblock you.

i am a hobby artist, i draw whatever is on my mind and like to draw, you can like the picture or even hate it, but if you hate it just, skip it and dont argue with artists about it.

i went through alot of shit here on the furry community, and my patience snaps easier because i take care of myself and dont want to deal with any more drama and arguments, im way too busy and have more important things to take care about.

it was about raymond (animal crossing) being in a maids dress, and i was actually fed up by that when i was looking for raymond references, there aretons of art of him in a maids dress which was another reason why in my sketch he does NOT wear the dress, instead his usual smug clothing, because it simply fits him better in my opinion.

people have different tastes and opinions and that is ok! either respect those or get out.

Hello

Im not going to lie, i feel pretty down and depressed lately because IRL, i just feel..."empty with no purpose", so fyi i got a twin brother, he is a tad older than me (like 3 minutes older) and
he geninuenly cares alot by me and chilled most of the time behind him, im the more introverted, quiet person while he is the exact opposite, a loudmouth who loves to talk and telling his friends and people around what book he is reading, his goals etc. as for me i just feel no one wants to get to know me or maybe even feel scared by me because i am quiet, i dunno.

and last night, he told me he was afraid when he first found out about this channel and having a fursona, telling me: "people who aren't happy for who they are, create themselves fursonas to hide behind them and act like they want to be, being in their own fantasy world."

i have to say at some point its true, my intentions here are meeting new friends who shared similar interests and dont prejudge you by your looks or behavior, i felt more accepted here than anywhere else irl and it distracted me to not going nuts and practicing "bad ideas". my last 4 years in main school were a nightmare for both me and my brother for our looks (having a white german mother and a afro american father from newark) we were the only 2 skin colored students here, so yeah "nigger" was something and getting cut off from others. i guess he proccessed that entirely and forgave them for being "stupid kids", for my part i simply cannot forgive them for what they did to us for 4 years, i really dont care if they were kids, they made me feel worthless of a person and having no rights to say your own opinion because youre black.

sure they all matured by now and probably laugh what they did and how dumb that was, i get it yeah, but i cant accept any of that because its a cross im still bearing.

if racism wasnt this bad, i wouldnt even exist here and looking for online friends who can only judge you by your character and actions and not by skin tone.

i dont regret joining the furry community, i have a nice time here and met good people who share similar interests and just having fun together you know?

i am having a therapy session on 5th march and i will probably tell him my "second life" here too just to spill everything out.

i wonder if im still around after therapy...maybe they even say "its not normal to have a fursona". i dont know....if i wouldnt have done anything around the point in main school, i probably wouldve hanged myself a long time ago.

the next problem i have is: im having my exams on april and i feel like its not going to work out for me since the topics and calculations are all difficult, i work on it....but i have a bad feeling about them anyways....

so in short, my biggest issues are: lack of selfesteem and self worth. i cannot ask myself "hey! what are your goals in life? who are you? are you proud for who you are" <- RL questions, not anything related to the furry community! and i hope i can solve these issues at some point....

i dont even know if i will come back to the furry community if my therapist wants me to go out there, even though i love to draw and the furry topics just suiting with my art style....im in quite a bad situation here....

(PS: If anyone writes "awww *hug*" i will actually block you for real.)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everybody!

Heya!

This is gonna be a longer journal so just hang in there ok?

So you noticed how I barely post anything art related, that is because im playing alot of super smash bros ultimate practiced alot with isabelle to be competitively good with her.

And during the training I joined a discord server that is for improving on her specifically i met great pals here, voice chatted and laughed alot with em! It was a blast and felt like i belong there with em.


And on the opposite site, the furry community, its unfortunately quite the opposite. There are lil to no people who give a damn about anything i do outside of drawing. And most of my friends I got here i barely have any contact with them,attempted multiple times to get in touch with em again but I usually got "im budy" or no response, and just in general when I try to get people to talk it just doesn't work out at all (i am bad at talking with people)
That's usually the argument I get when i ask why there's lil to no response.

To be honest, im the type of guy who needs to be engaged and talking with people to feel happy. The longer im all by myself the more depressed I get, that's how I feel for a couple of months.

And playing on smash with others or twitch streamers it's just fun challenging and maybe even a good chance of getting new friends.


What i wanna say with that is that I'm thinking about leaving the furry community, sure im gonna post paw and furry art when I finished something and I'm in the mood for it but that's just about it.

Because for how things are now for me in general here on this community, i have no fucking clue on how to get people to engage with me and tried as many things as possible. Im out of ideas.

I will try to finish my 2 commissions and then going to close the commissions for a pretty long time.


Thanks for reading the paragraph tho take care!

One Question: "Why change something that worked in the Previous Smash Title?"

Ok so, before you do Quick Matches (thats what its called), you can set up yourself preferred rules which means you can set it up to Free for all, Team Battles and 1v1 and couples of other settings such as battlefield type or omega stages etc, the great thing is, the game tends to throw you in free for all matches even though you prefer 1v1 omega stages, and here is the greatest part of it: You cannot exit those Battles unless you did choose for a rematch. So youre basically forced to play casual free for all with items and all that crap.
Also what pisses the crap out of me is you sometimes have the Ruleset "3 Stocks, 3 Minutes" and i fucking tell you, you WILL run out the timer and get fucking rekt by sudden death.
And everytime you lose a game, your GSP reduces. (GSP is explained down below) If your GSP is high enough with a character, this character can exclusivly go into the Elite Mode, meaning there are the pro players in, its a great feature to put you in battles with others who have equal skill level as yourself.


seriously nintendo? i paid 20 bucks for a year of online services and it still manages to lag here and there. come on, i pay for quality ffs.

And the next uninteresting Mode is Battle Arenas, where the only good part about this is, you can use it to battle with friends. but if you go in a public Arena, you sometimes have to wait at least 10 minutes before its your turn to go into the ring, only 1v1, and if 3 other people are waiting in line you gotta wait. thats the least fucking thing i want, to fucking wait/spectate the matches its bullshit.


GSP: But whats good about Quickplay mode is, if you win fights you get GSP (Global Smash Power), the more battles you won the higher your GSP goes and the harder and equally powered opponents are starting to kick in. you cant taunt in Quickbattles as well, so salt level MIGHT be reduced, fortunately you can still block and report players.

-Go into the Main Menu > Vault > Records > Past Opponents
-Hit the A Button on the Opponent you want to report and then hit report, if you just want to block them go into details and block them in their profile and then they shouldnt connect with you at all anymore.

And now you have to punch in also a reason for the said report, like "unsportmanlike Conduct" also known As t-bagging (mashing the analog stick down to crouch and teabag), inappropiate nicknames, network manipulation, idling and even cheating. great job nintendo, you made reporting better, but fucked up the actual online modes. jesus fucking christ.


im mostly disappointed about Nintendos Decision to remove the actual categories like "For Fun" and "For Glory" where YOU the player had the decision what exact mode you want to play, now its random and you cant even exit them out.

It get's better, hear me out.
Lets say for example i go in Quickplay, choosing Ganondorf, my opponent is heavily using projectiles like Megaman or Villager, you lose and the game asks you in the result screen if you want to rematch your opponent or not, you CAN rematch him BUT, _{im still upset while writing this down...jesus fuck} you cannot switch out fighters,you have to keep going with ganondorf or leaving the quickbattle completely to change characters.

Nintendo, why. Fucking Fix those modes and give the player the option which mode they want to play and not force them in casual plays if we dont want to, the worst part is most of those Issues listed here were not present in Smash4. It is truly baffling.


If you want to smack in your opinion, just comment down below!

https://discord.gg/sVfKMN

its all based on smash bros, no matter which smash64, melee, brawl, project m or ultimate! just opened one to give peeps the opportunity to meet new opponents to battle with! no fetish talk there please thanks!

Hey guys!

Just a great news for me, my boss was talking to me on saturday and he allowed me to visit a school for higher education from being a worker at a warehouse to a multiple host for logistic, in a nutshell, if i get school done with good grades i will become a boss with amazing income! The downside is that its difficult and its school on wednesday (evening school) and every saturday morning for the next 15 months and also cost 4000$ to pay up.

It will start on 31st January 2019! Wish me Good luck!

I usually start to stream some drawings n stuff, if youre interested be sure to follow me on twitter to get the announcements, unfortunately i only do one drawing per session, so my streams go for around 1-2 hours depending on the drawings itself
