I'd love to see Rigel in the shown style, so maybe I should share this at all.

Aww, here it is anyway, Leongon 's raffle:

It's not a raffle, there will be 10 slots filled by choice of the artist.

That's quite the statement to start a journal post with, for me anyway. So before I come to the fairly obvious explanation of what I'm saying there, I first want to say a little bit about how it relates to, well, Rigel's identity, really.

When I first created Rigel he was meant to be a reflection of myself. With a few twists, but everything based in reality. That was to be his canon. In art, I've taken him out of canon a few times, but so far not often. A lot is closer to wishful thinking than actual reality, but I consider that one of the twists. Even the breeding folder in my gallery is basically a twist.

Over time there have been occasions where Rigel was, in some capacity, around characters that can't exist in his canon. We're talking along the lines of magic users. I've considered from time to time that maybe Rigel can have multiple canons, but nothing was ever really big enough to truly require one.

Until now. Rigel has gained a few fans here and there in the last few years. One of them recently has taken such a liking to him, that he's basically been throwing his female characters at him. To breed, as that is my main kink. There are enough of them now that I've started a Trello board to keep track of them.

Basically, Rigel now has a harem, in a separate canon. These are all ladies who are exclusive to Rigel, sexually, and willing to add to his army of offspring.

And this harem is open for more. If you'd like to enter a lady character, she's welcome to join.
Maybe this is a pointless journal, I don't know, but I feel like throwing it out there.

On a side note, there actually are a few males in there, but putting Rigel in M/M action comes with rules, which is something for another journal post sometime soon.

Right here:

I was brought there by a journal post myself, but the art looks good, and I'd love to see a Rigel from him.

I see this type of journal pop up every now and then, and figured, why don't I give it a try, see what happens.

To be honest, I never know what to ask myself with these things. I don't know if I have a watcher base at all interested in this. I don't know if I'm interesting enough.

But, here we go... Ask me anything!

Bit of a puzzle here. I'm not wondering how to turn on shinies, I've had them on since the start.
I'm wondering why my profile page says I haven't received any, when I know for a fact I got some a couple of weeks ago...

So this is going to be a bit shorter than the previous ones. Not only because there are fewer days to cover, but also because after Wednesday there was decidedly less to still go see here in the country side near Macksville.

THURSDAY
Galener had to go for a bi-monthly visit to the hospital in Coffs Harbour. While he had his treatment we did some shopping. The plan was to do some more afterwards, but Galener wasn't feeling his best after the hospital visit, and we ended up simply hanging out back in Macksville.

FRIDAY
To get out of the house for a bit, we took the car to a village called Bowraville. There is actually a military museum there, but, it was closed. So we went back to Macksville again. Still, I got some nice views of the area during the car trip.
While not exactly a thing to specifically visit Australia for, Galener hooked me up to his VR set in the afternoon, which was fun.

SATURDAY
Another trip to a nearby village, this time Taylor's Arm. Here you can find a pub with the comical name "The Pub With No Beer", which is proudly displayed on a large tree log outside. The name does indeed stem from a time when the pub could not get its delivery of beer. Inside the pub displays many historical pictures and articles. Outside there's an old building which has its walls lined with many beer cans of all different brands.
In the afternoon Galener and I went back to the club to play some more snooker.

Late at night on Saturday I took a night bus back to Sydney. Now it is late at night on Sunday, and I am in Hong Kong, waiting for my second flight, and tomorrow I will be back home. I strongly doubt anything more to report will still happen, so with this I end.

So, before I continue where I left of, there's one more general observation I want to put here.
Normally, I'm fairly decent at directions, at least outside. That is to say, I have some idea of where north and south (and thus east and west) are, even if very roughly. But here it's messed up. And I'm pretty sure it's because here the sun travels across the northern sky, from the right to the left. I already thought about this before leaving home, even mentioned it to some people, but I was half joking. Turns out I rely on that a bit more than I realised.

So anyway, back to going from day to day:

SATURDAY
In my expections I was sure Oz Comic-Con would be larger than Dutch Comic-Con. It wasn't. It was smaller, in fact. Overall I wouldn't call a Comic-Con something that's very specific to Australia... Because it isn't. But there were still a few fun things to notice. We could tell that Avengers: Endgame offered some interesting cosplay options. Or, well, one at least. There were quite a few fat Thors walking around. I also learned that "Where's Wally" is quite popular in Australia. We found a few.
At the stands with swords and other sharp equipment. Galener bought a few knives for himself and a friend. I myself bought a letter opener based on the Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda series. When you buy an item like this you fill out a form, and take that to the entrance later to pick up your item. Even something as blunt as a letter opener. When we later picked them up, of the two of us I was asked to show some ID. I guess the name and phone number I entered on the form were a bit strange.
An interesting thing about Oz Comic-Con is the location: the Olympic Park. So I actually got to see where the Olympics were held. But you can also tell that it's already been a while again. Galener wanted to walk me around the place and show a few items of interest (like a statue), but these items turned out to be gone.

In the evening we went to the arcade again. I did pretty well on some games. 4-in-a-row with basketballs is fun! I could only play by using Galener's card, and then, before we left, because I had won quite a bit, he let me use some of his points to pick a prize, which was a mini-drone.

SUNDAY
Sunday was the second Comic-Con day. Some of the dealer stands had changed up a bit what they were offering, and I actually found a Transformer I was still after, but otherwise there wasn't really anything new. So we took everything a bit slow.
In the evening we just hung out in the hotel, and pack up our stuff to be ready to check out early in the morning.

MONDAY
We got up early to catch the train for an 8-hour trip to Macksville. I enjoyed views of mountains, hill sides, some villages here and there, and I actually saw a kangaroo in the wild. Nothing special for my Australian friends, but it is for me. Villages are a bit different here, with pretty much all wooden houses that are very flat with only one floor. We got picked up in Macksville at 3 pm by Galener's mother, and went to their house. And, well, we actually didn't do much more for the rest of the day.

TUESDAY
In the morning @Galener, his mother and I went for a walk through Macksville. This is one of villages like I mentioned before, and it's quite the contrast with Sydney. It's larger than my first impressions though, because the flat buildings are easily hidden by the hills here.
We found that there was an event held at the river for owners of old hot rod cars. So it was busier there than expected, with many of these cars parked around. There was also some sort of costumed river jump contest or something going on. Fun to watch, but it took a bit too long.
In the afternoon we took a short drive to a nearby village called Nambucca Heads, which is located at the coast. Some nice beaches with sand banks from the low tide, and a few nice high up lookout point over the sea.

WEDNESDAY
We went a bit further this day, to Dorrigo mountain. This included your typical twisty and turny road up the mountain, which I won't find back home. Once up, suddenly we were in a large area with hills again. We went through the village of Dorrigo, and ended up at the Dangar Falls. For me the falls were pretty impressive, but this area has been suffering from a drought for some time now, and it was not nearly as impressive as it would normally be. Still, now you could actually see the rock wall behind the falls, which would normally not be possible.
After that we went to the Dorrigo Nature Reserve. First we checked out the skywalk there, from which you get a good view of the nearby mountains and valleys. After that we went down a bit into the rainforest. Being quite a bit more up north, it was both similar to and different from the rainforest at the Blue Mountains. Hard to describe.
Back home, we went to the Macksville Ex-Services Club, which is where Galener works, for dinner. Galener then looked up the rules for snooker, and we played a bit. A bit different from pool, which I'm used to, but fun.
Back home again I wanted to stay out for a bit, because there is very little light pollution here, and the view of the sky was clear. Amongst a few other stars and constellations, we identified the Southern Cross, which is not visible back home, and which serves a purpose similar the Pole Star.

And also, wednesday is today, and I'm cought up again. I'm here for only a few more days, so next time will probably the last time.

TO BE CONCLUDED...

So, I suppose I could have done some of this sooner, but it has been a busy week. So I will just collect everything from this week here, and then do this again some time next week.

Let's start with a few general random notes and observations.

To start with, this is the perfect time of year to visit this part of Australia (Sydney). And I say this part simply because I can't judge other parts. Spring has only just started here, but to me as a Dutchman it feels like summer. And not the heatwave type of summer. No, the nice summer days.
Second, it feels like Sydney is actually somewhere in Asia. Now, this is in part because I'm in a hotel at the edge of Chinatown. But elsewhere too almost everyone you see is Asian. I did not expect that.
Also, you know that typical Australian accent you always hear on TV? I'm not hearing it at all. Only from guides at the tourist attractions, and they do it on purpose.
And lastly, a bit of an annoying thing. My Dutch bank card is accepted almost nowhere. At least they do work in ATMs, and I am with Australian friends who can back me up.

So that's some general stuff covered. Now let's go through the days and see what I've been up to. Oh, by the way, I'm very bad at consistently taking pictures, but on some of the days I took quite a few. And I can always leech pictures of my friends here for the locations I didn't take pictures of. I will post the pictures later, at which point I will decide if I'm going to filter them, or be lazy and just dump them all in a few albums.

Anyway, let's start. For the record, the first date is friday 20 September 2019.

FRIDAY / SATURDAY - TRAVEL
Well, that didn't start of so great. At the train station in Leeuwarden I already found out that the train to Schiphol wouldn't go all the way. A person had been hit. (We all know what that means...) So I got the train to Heerenveen, then the bus to Emmeloord, then the bus to Lelystad, and then the train to Schiphol from there. Thankfully I arrived only half an hour later than planned, with plenty of time to still make it to my flight.
And the flights went very smoothly. I ended up flying with Cathay Pacific simply because of the combination of flying times and price, but I found that they are quite good. You could even ask for snacks in between the scheduled meals. One of them, the cup noodles, came with chop sticks, but I managed.
When I landed in Hong Kong for my layover, the sun was just rising. It was between 6 and 7 am. Of course, back home it was close to 1 am...
I landed ahead of time, close to 8 pm on Saturday, local time, at Sydney airport.
And then things got a bit hard again. I was going to take the train from there to Central, where I would meet up with my friends Galener and his sister, who were also about to arrive, but I need to get a so-called Opal card to use public transport. And my card to pay wouldn't work. And this wasn't because of the aformentioned issue that it's simply not an accepted card. I was referred to my bank, but didn't know the number, and wi-fi wasn't working. I could still text though, and with a bit of help from my dad and @Galener, who both ended up finding the same number, I managed to contact the bank. They turned on worldwide payments for me, which I had neglected to do before my trip.
Things went smooth after that. I met up with my friends, and we went to the hotel.

SUNDAY
To get acclimated a bit to the new timezone, we started out slow on Sunday, and stuck close to the hotel, and just visited some shops. Of course, I can not pass on toy departments, and ended up finding a couple of Transformers which I know I would never find back home.
After that we took a train. Taking a train here in Sydney mostly means underground, but it's simply called train. Also, throughout the week we ended up using the train a lot. Most interesting places are at a decent walking distance, but it's still a faster way to cover a lot.
So we took the train to Circular Quay (pronounced key - I would not have guessed). This is where the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge are located. I would end up seeing them a lot, as, as it turns out, many locations that are interesting from a tourist point of view are either around here, or reached from here. (Sydney is huge, but as you get farther away from the harbour, you end up in the suburbs, which are really just living areas.)
While wandering around the area, we ended up watching a guy doing some humorous acrobit street show. We got there just as he was starting. I probably would make this way too long if I described everything he did here in text, but suffice it to say it was a good show.
After that we went closer to the Opera House to take a good look. It's quite a striking building.
Moving away from the Opera House we went to and area called The Rocks. This is the oldest part of Sydney, and there's a stark contrast between the buildings here and the tall, modern buildings that are basically right around the corner. One street in The Rocks was filled with a market, where of course a lot of typically tacky, touristy souvenirs could be found.
That covered the day, which left the evening. Galener and his sister love going to an arcade here in Sydney that happens to be located very near the hotel, so we went there. As it's pointless for me to get a membership card, for me that means I mostly watch, or play using their cards. At least it's cheap for me that way.

MONDAY
Monday morning we took the train to Darling Harbour. This is a bit more modern area, again, obviously, at the water. Here we could see some warships, as the Maritime Museum is located here, but that is not what we came for.
Also located here is Sea-Life. As you would likely guess, it's a large aquarium. Also easy to guess is that this place houses fish and other sea life found in and around Australia. For example, they have a mini Great Barrier Reef set up. A bit of a contradiction there. Other highlights include a dugong (very similar to a manatee or seacow) and some large sharks.
Almost next to Sea-life (Madame Toussauds is in between) is Wild-life, run by the same company. This is a relatively small zoo showing only animals indigenous to Australia. Kangaroos, wallabies and koalas are there of course, but they also cover a wide range of insects, spiders, snakes and other reptiles. After all that, you really wonder why there even are people in Australia. But, on the other hand, there are small furry creatures like the quokka and the rabbit-like bilby who are actually friendly towards humans, even in the wild. And the quokka just look at you with the silliest smile.
The last stop on Monday was the Sydney Tower Eye. This tower offers a 360 view over all of Sydney, and you really get a good idea of how large this place really is. It was also nice to see the places I had already visited, and the ones I would see later.

TUESDAY
First we set of to Circular Quay. Like I said, a central spot. From here we took the ferry to Manly. For about half an hour, this ferry slowly takes you away from the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, giving you a better view of the larger area they are located in, as they become part of the Sydney skyline.
Manly is part of Sydney, but it gives you a completely different feel. I likened it to a tropical island, and indeed the main attraction is a very nice beach. We just set there for a while.
After taking the ferry back, we walked past the Opera House, and into the Botanical Gardens. This is a large park with quite a diversity of trees and plants. Now, I really don't know anything about such things. All I can say is that I'm quite sure I saw some trees that I've never seen before, and that we had a nice and relaxing time wandering around here.

WEDNESDAY
Wednesday started very similar to Tuesday, as again we got on a ferry leaving from Circular Quay. This was a faster and shorter ride though, taking us to a spot where we got on a cable car, which in turn took us to the entrance of Taronga Zoo.
Now, I already went to Wild-life on Monday. This however is a much larger zoo, and where in Wild-life you follow a laid out path, here you are free to wander. Of course, the Australian wildlife is present here as well, but so are other animals. I suppose it's fair to say in this way it's like many zoos. I will mention a couple of highlights. As we wandered around, we happened to end up being just in time for a show with seals. This was very well done, and it's interesting to see how well they can be trained, and how much they seem to enjoy it. Of course, that might be just the treat of a fish.
Another highlight are the tigers. They have a pretty large area set up for this, and to enter it, you have to go through little show where you are inside an airplane travelling to the tiger's home country (yes, I forgot the country). Annoyingly, this show includes a projected travel guide who is from that country, and as such speaks with an accent that is hard to understand when English is your second language to start with.
There are some cubs in the tiger area, but... we didn't see them.
One other thing to note about this zoo is the location. I already mentioned that we reached the entrance by going up in a cable car. The entrance is actually at the highest point. From many spots you can actually see towards the harbour, and get a great view of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge from a distance.
Taronga Zoo is large enough to take up most of the day. In the evening we went to the arcade again.

THURSDAY
On Thursday Galener's sister had some other things to do, so I visited some places with just Galener. We could take it easy in the morning, because we were going to Paddy's Market, which doesn't open until 10 am, and is actually close to the hotel.
Paddy's Market is a large inside market, which is ridiculously cramped. I think I would quickly start to feel claustrophobic if I spent all day inside one of the stands. It's also a tourist trap. There are stands with cheap souvenirs everywhere. Now, before I made my trip here, I asked if I should bring anything that I might not have though of already. I was told that because of the sun I should bring my hat. I was then met with surprise when I responded that I don't have a hat. So I got myself a hat at the market. I haven't used it yet, but even if I don't end up using it at all, it makes for a nice souvenir. It's a proper Australian hat, even shows a kangaroo inside.
After a quick stop back at the hotel we went to the Chinese Garden of Friendship. It's a nice area in the style of a traditional Chinese garden (I'm sure you didn't guess that), which is very different from all the modern tall buildings surrounding it. The center of the garden is formed by a large pond, and there are a lot of water dragons (type of lizard) found here. We also came across a Dutch couple here, so Galener heard me talking gibberish.
While walking around, at some point I noticed an artsy metal tiger in the grass. And then we noticed more animals. At this point we started to realise all of the animals from the Chinese zodiac should be there, and we found ten out of all twelve. (Side-note: my sign from the Chinese zodiac is the goat... now isn't that nice.)
A bit earlier in the week I realized that, while I had seen the Harbour Bridge, I had not actually been on it yet. So from the Gardens we walked towards Circular Quay, and got on the bridge. During this walk it really hit me how much the streets in Sydney go up and down. Once we got far enough on the bridge we could see a large cruise ship in the harbour. It was the Maasdam, from Rotterdam. I figured I could have gone to Australia that way too.
We didn't go any further than the pylons, where the arch starts. The view was already great from there, and continuing would juet be a very long walk which wouldn't add much.
In the evening Galener's sister was back, and we went to the Sydney Observatory. This observatory holds the oldest still working telescope in the southern hemisphere. While it was partially clouded, we could still see Saturn and its rings through it. Through a more modern telescope in another dome we saw Jupiter and some of its moons.

FRIDAY
As I'm typing this it's Friday again, a week after I left home. Today was the first day spent outside of Sydney. We took a two hour train ride to Katoomba, a place in the Blue Mountains area. From there we took the bus to the Scenic World attraction. The bus takes you to a central visitor area, and from there there are three ways to continue. I'll just cover them in the order we went.
We started out taking the Skyway. This is a large cable going over the beginning of what is the very large valley of the Blue Mountains. Technically, the "mountains" here are not tall enough to be true mountains. But let's go with that anyway. For someone from the flat Netherlands they are close enough. And several of them can be seen in the distance from this ride, and and around a valley of rainforest that is one and a half times the size of Grand Canyon.
Anyway, the Skyway gets you to a point high up, where you can follow paths against the side of the mountains, giving you a great view of the valley. From many vantage points you can also see a large formation of three jutting rocks, known as the three sisters. There is a story behind this, but I will skip that here.
After exploring here for about an hour and a half to two hours, including the return, we took the Skyway back, and then we went down into part of the rainforest, taking the Railway. The Railway is at a 52 degrees incline, making it the steepest passenger train in the world, and it didn't take long to take us down. This track was originally used to bring miners down, and one of the first thing we passed was the (no longer used) entrance into a coal mine. After that we went onto the Walkway, which is described as the longest elevated boardwalk in Australia. There are a few options, and we went for the longer walk that this boardwalk offers. What I noticed is that there is a fair amount of damage in this rainforest, and seems that lightning is the cause for all of it. Signs say that thunderstorms are common, and they usually last about twenty minutes. We came across a lot of storm shelters.
We went back up by taking the Cableway, a large cable car. As this cable car goes both ways, this actually the third way you can continue from the start.
We took the bus and train back, and I've spent the evening typing this.

UP NEXT
This weekend will be spent back here in Sydney, as we are going to visit Oz Comic Con. This will be going on for both days.
And then, on Monday, we will take an eight hour train ride up to Macksville, where Galener and his sister live, and where I will spend the rest of my stay in Australia.

TO BE CONTINUED...

I'm now in the hotel in Sydney! :D

But only the airport.
In a couple of hours I'll be moving on to Sydney, where Galener and his sister will show me around.

So two years ago (roughly) I started playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
I stopped for 2 reasons: The immense size of the world, and the difficult combat. I had completed the Great Plateau and was still exploring around Kakariko Village, after playing for a few months.

Now I've returned, restarted, more prepared for how long this game will take, but the combat still bothers me.

I keep thinking how much I would love a game just like this, but without any combat.
But, where to look for something like that?

I mean, why not, right? I colour every now and then.

Yeah, I went there too.
This one is about both Rigels, me IRL and the character. There's a lot of overlap anyway.

https://buddymeter.com/quiz.html?q=wzghnE9

Wow! Thank you all!

I feel I should do something for this.
Uhm... I don't know what...

Just tried to bid on an adopt for a friend.
My comment to the submission was not added because I'm blocked by the poster.
I have absolutely no clue why...

You could see this as a bit of a follow-up to last week's journal post. That one basically ended with the creation of Rigel.

Well, that was one year ago this week. I figured I might set the actual date on the first of the month, as by then I was probably finetuning already.

One year ago I had not yet done anything as far digital colouring goes, except for maybe a few quick tryouts. The same for using my drawing tablet, even though I did have one. I had not designed a character before (and I've designed very few since).

So Rigel has a fairly simple design. This is due to lack of experience, yes, but also by, well, design. I wanted to use colours that showed him being a fox/wolf hybrid, and I wanted something that I knew I could repeat with limited skills. And I still wanted to make him look good, but that's really subjective of course.
The arms and legs are the simplest part, and the torso came fairly easy too, but his face... I don't even remember how many iterations that went through, or what they looked like. Weird stuff... And I settled on something quite simple there too, but that works best with the rest of his body.
And then I felt it was too simple, too generic. So while I'm not into tattoos myself, and Rigel does represent me, I gave him the star on his arm. It used to be white, but these days it's blue, because the actual star Rigel is a blue giant type star.

As it turns out, simple, yes, generic, not so much. He needs his colours to really be himself, but once he has them he's actually quite recognisable, so something about him is fairly unique.
And during this last year, as I got more and more art of him, he actually got his share of fans too. And friends, let's not forget that! He's me, so my friends are his friends, and there are a few people out there who I would've never even spoken to if I wasn't getting art with Rigel!

So, happy birthday, Rigel!

(One day, one day there will be a Rigel fursuit...)

When asked for a character for something I always say that I have only one character, Rigel, my fursona.
Technically this is correct.
But before I had Rigel, we're speaking a few weeks to a few months, I had actually started developing a handful of other characters. This started out with what was originally going to be my fursona, a lombax, and quickly became the starting of a world of other characters as they popped up in my mind, with relations between them. With the other characters being Earth animals, I even introduced the concept that in this universe lombaxes were a bit of a mystery.

But then, in short succession, I realised a few things.

1. While lombaxes may have been the last step in bringing me into the fandom, I wanted my fursona to be based on a real animal. While not very original, I was going to go with either a fox or a wolf. I chose fox. The lombax had a few details changed, and a fox character was introduced.

(Then along the line I decided to also include a character based on my actual cat, who was 'helped' as a kitten, and I gave that an odd twist in his backstory.)

2 and 3. These came fairly simultaneous. I realised I wasn't really a fox. But not really a wolf either. So I strayed from having to be a real animal, and went with a hybrid. Enter an early version of Rigel. And, I couldn't have my fursona strictly inhabit a world inhabited by otherwise completely fictional characters. The write-up of Rigel in what follows below still fits him in this universe, but that was shortlived.

4. At this point Rigel had been designed and I was getting art. I realised I wanted to focus on Rigel and his then-girlfriend Polaris, and getting art was expensive enough, so I abandoned the other characters.

But, the file with all my notes still exists!
And I will now copy the contents here.
Very much an abandoned WIP, and never before seen by anyone but me or my ex:
(Oh yeah, notes include sexual preferences and relationships, so could be considered by some NSFW, I suppose.)

Relationships:
Adam was adopted as a baby by Nikki's parents, and as such they grew up together. Nikki sometimes feels conflicted about her feelings towards him; she predominantly sees him as a brother, but from time to time feels a sexual attraction.
Adam and Nikki sometimes work together professionally on projects that require work in both their fields.
Adam and Maximilian are friends (oddly). Adam did freelance website work for a porn studio when Max was working there. Max would love to have sex with Adam, but respects that Adam is straight.
Quentin knows Maximilian from his porn collection, and fantasized about being taken by him. Max doesn't know Quentin.
Jenny knows Quentin from his visits to the library, and is into him. She knows he's gay. Things could get interesting if she finds out his submissive nature overrules that, and a dominant female can convince him to be taken.

Rigel is me. Rigel is in an open relationship with Polaris (now ex-gf), and is free to be used in other sexual pairings.
