Hes in our D&D group and works retail so i have no idea how he found the time to make a game LOL

I'm just curious. I'm hoping to get some art put up in the next few days.

Im going to do some portrait commissions to afford an elgato capture card for my twitch streaming channel. So basic simple portraits start at $10. And you can pay via paypal or digital amazon gift card (:
Samples are in the most recent images in my gallery. 😸

Hey everyone. Due to the terrible plague of AI crap on the other art sites i am returning to here.
I recall fa bans ai art. Its a plague that needs to be stopped.
Im occasionally practicing my sketching and you will see human art as well as creatures. Im trying to get back into drawing. Ever since i opened a small geek shop in town ive been either too tired or no drive to do art of any kind.
I need your support if im going to get back into it. Im ADHD and it badly affects how i do things sometimes.
Id appreciate feedback on my art and suggestions but keep it positive and kind. Im easily hurt, though i try to be strong.
Maybe one day ill get a commission but im not seeing that for quite a while. I have to get back into the game as it were and im not happy with my quality of art at this point in time.

Ive been super busy with my store and life in general. 3 years now ive been in business. Holy $h!t!
I hope you all have a great thanksgiving and a wonderfull Winter Solstice :)

some of you may have noticed my domain name "RaptorArts.com" has been destroyed and redirected to a vulgar porn site. OMFG WTF REALLY?!
My new username is WhimsicalGriffin. Ill see if i can get everything changed over. Holy shit sorry everyone. Didnt know china would buy the domain after i dropped it and do that with it WOW! Im super embarased :(

so.. i rarely come here but its layout is nice.
Deviant Art is a mess and is being sued for the AI bullshit. Im 1000% against AI Art. Should be banned and wiped out © infringement to the max :(
Weasyl looks dead
Facebook im trying to get away from it. I about to delete my art page on there if i can find something better out there.

Ideas suggestions etc?
My art isnt furry so it doesnt really belong on here so its why i dont post anymore.
and i dont really consider myself a furry.. More of a therian or otherkin. I duno.. but not furry.

I hate days where everything goes wrong! Technogy freaks out, people cant keep schedules, key doesnt work in the shop door lock anymore, the wifi open sign wont shut off, and the house front door was locked when i got home (dad was home). I lost it and busted my knuckle punching the door. FML! I hate being human! Fuck fuck fucking hate being human. I was cursed from day one. I never wanted to be this species. I knew it when i was 4 or 5 years old. Ive felt this way ever since. I hate it!! Its why im celibate, why i refuse to be in a human relationship. I dont believe in marriage and i hate politics and religion. I dont belong here! Never have!! I hate it!
But the most cruel fucking joke in the fucking world is that i have no choice. I have to live a human life, folow the rules, be how people expect me to be. Yes im a nice person but fucking hell theres a hundred razor sharp teeth hidden behind this facade. I get sick of this so called modern world. Humans are so fucking defective, messed up, that it feels like the entire world is one freaking insane asylum! Fuck!!!!
And tomorow i have to put on my human mask, smile, how are you doing today, how can i help you. Oh im fine. No, no im not fucking fine!! Im stuck! I cant afford to help my parents so they dont have to worry about bills, i know theyre both miserable, i know neither like the situation theyre in and theyre too old to do anything about it and im too damn broke to help them! FUCK!!!!!!!

yea ive undergone a studio name chance due to the store. So which do you like best?

Hey everyone. Ive been busy running the store for the last few months. Not doing bad but not great either. Covid season is making trafic slow. But asside from that Im healthy and happy.

I want to start getting into digital art but not sure about a tablet. Way too many out there and way out of my price range for the ones that look promising..
Suggestions?

Peace and love to all. HUGS!!!!

I have decided to open a gallery here in Brookings, Oregon. The rent is $250 a month with a one year lease. The Farmers market cost me 120 a month and I was only there 8 days out of the month. Kind of a no brainer really.

Time to get the furnishings all figured out :) Ill post a photo of what It might look like in a bit.

Last time 2019, nobody really asked me anything so let's try this again in 2020.

Open for commissions... Might take a bit of time but i will get to them please be patient with me.

4 Slots open!

1. Lethe5683 "EYE Icon Commission"

Got a few things uploaded into the gallery. Feel free to browse around and comment. also if you want to order a night-light just let me know. you can have your artwork, A commission that you received, an image off of Google, it can be anything really and I could turn it into a night light for you.

Sky's the limit

Hey guys. As you can see I have a 3d printer and have made many cool items. If you guys want to have me prototype print or just print something from online let me know. Prices depend on time and materials.

:)

As you all can see i am now posting my "Human" art. This is something that I really hesitated to do since this is a furry site. But I have found there are human artists on here and even a group for human artists so I decided to post a couple of my older works on here.
After Deviant Art royally screwed themselves with the new update I have decided to now have FurAffinity be my art site to post to outside of Facebook. So you will be seeing regular postings every week.

Thanks for sticking with me, I know i can be a little bit emo at times and I do try my best to keep it together.

Big hugs to everyone.

First why is the text fields in FA glitching... its so annoying....

Anywho. Been working on fixing the camping drawer in my suv.
helped dad put the rototiller back together. Just need to replace one more piece on it.
replaced 10 fence boards.
got a sunburn OUCH
Made 20 Covid Masks
finished a 3d print for a client and started on the next one.

and giving my aching back a rest... x..x

Start posting some more portrait art. They dont seem very well received but I guess I have not much of a choice since Deviant Art just !@#$%^& itself with a barbed wire pole on their new design. Several people are leaving there including myself.
Why do art sites never listen to their members? they just design and !@#$ out whatever comes to mind that makes money.

Anyhow...

I know i have a few hundred peeps watching me with only a tiny handfull that reply to these journals but I do want to know... Should i post the rest of my portrait art and also my 3d Printed works?

Ive been making fabric masks like theres no tomorow but sales in town are very slow.
So I was wondering if I offered them here for $10 with free shipping in the USA Per mask. Multiple masks might cost a $1. or so to ship.


Whats your thoughts?

I just got through reading a book called "tallons".
It was incredibly well written. And I am looking for other free books that put the reader in the reptilians skin.

There are two other books I've read many years ago that gave me the same feeling that this one did. "Raptor red" and "Bug Wars".

After 5 years friendship at the farmers market a fellow vendor has started making fabric masks and taking all my customers.
I have been making masks for a month now but when i run out of elastic the other vendor begins mass production that would make china blush.
Now i make 5 sales vs her 30+ sales on saturday.
Before i was making $65 a day. Now im at $15 while she makes $200+
Bills dont take breaks. Im hurting right now. I hope my nightlights take off....

well the computer is just too old. I cant stream without it pausing or crashing. Im SOL.
Also when i stream music with my video Facebook says NOPE and shuts me down and deletes the video. Corporate !@#$%^&*
It was royalty free music too and music from fallout. Seriously WTF?
