Hear ye, hear ye! This is a special message to you, my handsome commissioners of the past, the present and the future!
Well... mostly, to my past commissioners!

Let's start with a big, warm, joyful THANK YOU to all of you awesome people who decided to commission me. By now, I'm trying to make a living out of my creativity and artworks and having this possibility means the Heavens to me; in fact, when I was a little child, I couldn't imagine any other job to make me happier with my life than this: an artist. This is priceless and I could never thank you enough for this! When I look back at my older artworks, I can't help but notice how many there are. And even though those were made at the top of my skills at that time, I can't help but feel a bit... awkward? Which is actually a good thing! Growing in experience, practice and skills allows you to see all those little details you missed years ago.

So, to express my gratitude to all of you, I wanted to create a little funny CONTEST via Twitter! How does this work?

► Grab a commission I did for you from the past years, 2015 and back to the origins, to the times of Elven kingdoms.
► No commissions from 2016 allowed!
► Post it on Twitter, tagging me RovTheHorse and using the #noREPENTjustREPAINT
► Contest ends on Monday the 7th of November at 12 o'clock CEST (UTC+2)
► I'll randomize and then pick the winner, who will be announced on Twitter!

And yes ma'am, you got it already: the winner will ge a FREE REMAKE of his/her old commission!!!
Don'tmiss the chance! Spread the word! And most importantly, flood Twitter with smutty porn! LOL

THE CONTEST IS NOW OPEN!

SwiggitySwaggitySwooty, here I come with some hot booty! https://twitter.com/RovTheHorse

So, I've got this Patreon account and I'm still trying to figure it out at best.

For those who didn't knew yet, Patreon is a website allowing you to support your favorite artists by pledging them and giving them a little bit of money to keep on producing creative works. Tough it's not totally meant to be for a furry taget, many furry artists landed on there and so it was pretty popular for a while. And by popular, I mean it was a big source of drama - of course. Many artists (including myself in the very beginning!) used it as a paywall site: the more you pledge, the more contents you see. That seemed to be against the general purpose of Patreon itself - which is actually more for free tips to support artists - and plus, created quite some problems. Basically, once you pledged the artist to unlock all the "for Patreons only" contents, you had a full month of free viewing before actually being charged for the money. And even then, you could also refuse to tip, or eventually the system realized your account didn't have any funds on there. In fact, guess what? I had more than 50 Patreons pledging me, but never giving a cent. Woa!

The website actually changed quite a lot in the past few months: many new features, a whole different graphic, new options... and it seems like many of those problems are now fixed. For example, the system automatically cancelled those fake Patreons and ta-daaan, I now have only 4 Patreons! LOL :)
Thanx guys!

8 months ago I already wrote a journal, trying to better understand things and also communicating about this Graphic Novel Project I had in mind. Due to the lack of time and attentions, though, I think I'm gonna scrap it and I'll maybe come to a bigger project later on. Still, I'm curious to hear your feedbacks about it, both Artists and Patrons! Are you using Patreon? If yes, any tips&tricks? If not, why so?

Also, here's my page in case you'd feel like it: https://www.patreon.com/Rov

COMMISSIONS CLOSED! All slots are filled!

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I took a step back, trying to relax a bit and look at myself and at my artworks from a distance. It's been a long while since I wrote a more "personal" journal as this one and, well: I decided to give it a shot and open myself a bit with you all. You awesome furry people out there, all around the world!

I've been an artist active in the Furry Fandom since 2009. Many things happened, many years passed by and a lot of commissioners gave me their money and their dreams to make them reality on paper. Well: digital paper, mostly... but you got the point! Sometimes, when I look back at all my journey and my develop as an artist in this fandom, I realize my style changed continuously, while I've been trying to find my own personal lenguage to narrate my stories. If I look at myself today and I ask myself:
"Do you think this artwork is representative of who you are, of you art ideals, of your style and vision of the world?"
I honestly don't know the answer. It should be: NO. When I work on commissions it's pretty obvious I'm not working with pure ideas in my mind, but it's a constant compromise between my mind, my ideals, my aesthetics and the concept the commissioner is paying and asking for. And it's not just a matter of topics (that's why I decided to create and follow a black list of things I would not draw on commissions), it reflects also on my style choice. I've been creating a lot of mainstream style artworks: there's no shame in it, of course. It was appealing and erotic and that's what mostly I got commissioned for: the more I produced about it, the more it was looked at and asked for: a neverending circle of smut production. LOL! It was truly amazing to me, and it allowed me to find a balance IRL, paying bills for myself and everything. Because of this, I was able to live by myself, by my art, as a true artist. But it was a compromise. It's inevitable, honestly: when you accept working on commissions you have to strech your own ideas to meet the commissioner's desires. I think I've been doing great on this part; but of course this is not representative of myself.

Words, words: I know it seems like an empty flow of words, but this is something I've been constantly thinking about: am I doing this right? If I had to choose - by paradox, of course - to get paid for the things I love drawing, how would that feel? Because of this idea, I've tried creating a Patreon account where to upload my personal artworks, the ones that I truly feel representative of the things I like, of my own style. I'm facing some great difficulties on that side, though: it's not easy to play the part of the "beggar artist", following his visions and hoping somebody passing by will trow him some coins. It's frustrating, but you'd move that compromise towards the artist's side.

I've been thinking even more about it in the past few days, due to a personal fact: I've been contacted by a Staff member on Furaffinity, who told me I'm not being respectful with one of the points of the Acceptable Upload Policy (you can find it here: http://www.furaffinity.net/aup ) and, specifically, on the point 2.5. Fact is I've been creating photomontages using external contents and I didn't declare it, often neither owning the rights on the said photos. Problem is double: it is a retroactive warning and I will never be able to recognize - neither recollect - all the photos used and heavily edited to create some of my past artworks backgrounds. It outlines my laziness and mostly, my problem with backgrounds: they are not even interesting to me and I tend to rush things when it comes to do one, on commission. I know I did something despicable and against the rules: I will faces consequences of this and, probably, some artworks will be deleted from my gallery. I apologize with all my commissioners about this issue and I kindly invite those who will see their commissions disappearing to contact me privately! That said, it worked in combo:

personal doubts + warning notice + desire to bring something fresh and new to my art

I'm deeply thinking about my style, my commissions and my art. I'll come back with some big news in my May commisisons reopening! Meanwhile, stay tuned: I'll be posting some personal artworks from my Tumblr to better show you how I intended my art to transform, today.

Thank you for all your kindness, your support and your comments! I've reached past 20K watchers and it's truly heartwarming!
Thank you, all of you *ᴥ*
