NOTE: Hiro is Satoshi (the purple boar character) while Shinichi is Jun (a blue otter character). Just thought I'd clear that up.

--RV News--

Torvald: This is, RV News. As for today's bulletin...

--New Construction worker & New Investigator--

Torvald: Some of you probably knew but there is a construction site for an amusement park being made in Rowanverse. We have news about someone taking part of that. Let's go to the interview.

*screen switches to Hiro being interviewed while wearing his uniform*

Hiro: Um...s-sorry, I'm not too good with cameras but I'll try my best.

Interviewer: Just take your time.

Hiro: R-Right. Well, I got asked to help with the construction of the amusement park being built here. I'm wondering how long it'll take and if things will go alright in the end. Even though I feel nervous, I know with the help of the other workers and my leadership we should do well. I, *starts to blush as he looks down* like to create things for people to use and feel happy about so...*looks back at the camera with a confident look* I'll give it my best! .....Um, was I too loud?

Interviewer: You were fine, thank you for the interview Mr. Hiro.

Hiro: *blushes again and looks worried* M-Mr. Hiro? That's a bit much don't you think?

*screen switches back to Torvald*

Torvald: Hmm, I wonder when they'll finish making the place? At any rate there's news about someone taking the job as the investigator in Rowanverse. Let's check out the other interview.

*screens switches to Shinichi standing by a desk wearing a formal uniform*

# should I be saying?

Interviewer: Your new job of course.

Shinichi: But is an interview necessary though, this isn't a...thing I'm not too good at. *sigh* I'll see what I can do with this. Hello viewers, I am Shinichi the man who plays Jun Aozan in Stripe Stories. Due to my good detective skills and being able to get people to confess the truth, I was chosen to be the police here in Rowanverse. You viewers might think I'm some pushover but... *moves his face closer to the screen with a serious look* trust me, sometimes I forget to show mercy to people.... *moves back with a friendly look* Though I can also help with finding things people have lost so come down to the station located west from the café......was that good?

Interviewer: Uhh, y-yeah. A little scary but to the point.
Shinichi: Good.

*screen switches back to Torvald*

Torvald: I did hear this Shinichi fellow can be a mysterious guy but, I thought that was just his character in the show or something. Well there you have it folks, this is Torvald and I hope you enjoyed RV News.
--screen turns off--

There you have it folks. I have been sketching these two wearing their work clothes and I'll soon upload it.

I'm sure there are people out there that have made characters and would put them in some sort of world in their mind. For my case a while ago I made a place called Rowanverse. The setting is similar to how the island looks in Tomodachi Life where it's several islands with different places and stores while being connected to each other.

Oh, I have 3 different series atm in which the main characters' names there differ in Rowanverse because in the island they're just actors who play as the characters.

The mayor is an adult alligator named Mayor Windsor and he has three people who work under him with his mayoral business.

The characters all live in RV Apartments with each room being spacious and having a theme that suits the room owner's character. (For example with Taiki his room would have a music theme).

There is a TV station known as RV News where a person from the island chosen at random would be the host on discussing on the latest news on what's happening in Rowanverse.

I plan to share RV News here since....why not? And if possible I'll even show some artwork of the characters doing their stuff there.

Okay, that's all to share. I am going to upload another journal about recent news regarding in Rowanverse. Until then, see ya.

I'll be doing three requests at a time and the requests must be clean and non-fetish related. Though if say a character is shirtless then I guess that's fine, but they must have pants on.

So yeah...anyone interested in me drawing something for them as long as it's clean and well, not too complex?

Sure I still got a long way to go as an artist but I have gone far the past couple years and it's thanks to meeting most of the people here at FA, including the favs and watches. (If only I could get comments more often too...)

At any rate it's partially thanks to you guys that I made it this far so yeah...thank you for those who like my art and have helped me too. Sometime this week I'll post a journal about doing free requests for people so, be sure to check up on that if any of you want me to draw your character.

I hope I can continue to grow as an artist and possibly give people smiles, plus make new friends as well.

I don't know....bit curious. Is there someone you'd like to see more?

I've turned 21 which apparently means I'm officially an adult. It was nice of friends telling me happy birthday and from animal crossing plus tomodachi life. My mom forgot but ehh...I don't want her to do anything special. Thank you for those who congratulated me for today, it's nice to feel cared for by people.

Just a heads-up for anyone who cares.

Gonna turn 21. I'm not interested in alcohol by the way, since my imagination and mind are very precious to me and I don't wanna take any risks. That, and how I'm not interested in drinking whatsoever.

No I'm not asking anyone to make something for me or something, just a...heads-up and, all :/

I'm not planning to do anything special; I'm not much of a celebratory person.

........Yeah I'm not sounding so happy huh? Ehh I don't know, I'm not sad about it just...meh about it. It's best not to ask since I'm not too sure why I'm all meh about it.

So....yeah, a week from today is my birthday. Whoo...

Well, first I'd like to say thank you for those who watched me as well as continue to see my work. I do wonder how many of the 50 actually....see my work nowadays? Hmmmm..........

At any rate, made it to 50 people. Not bad. Nooot bad....it's good to see people are still liking my work, even if I still got a long way to go if I want to be a great artist. Met some nice people, met a couple who were uhh....let's just say things didn't go so well due to, reasons. My goals of an artist are still here, I continue to draw while learning new stuff along the way and just, have fun.

For anyone who's reading this wondering why I'm not going, "OMG 50 WATCHERS!! THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!" from above, well....why should I get so happy? Not saying I should be getting more watchers but, it's better in my opinion to just say thank you all from those who like my work and help me improve in a calm matter.

So yeah...thank you very much. I wonder how my art will be within a year from now...

For free of course, and who knows how they'd look in my current style? Plus it's been a long while since I've a request for someone.

I'll select three characters, one character per user, but I won't say which three I'll take if more than three people respond to this.

No, they can't be doing anything r-18 or fetish related. It must be something clean (and possibly cute).

Sooo......yeah, anyone curious to see how their character looks in my style? Of course link me to the character for reference purposes.

the main reason why I haven't uploaded work that much is how regardless learning how to do layering and junk, I sorta miss just doing tradtional artwork. I just don't want repeat the outline...for the record I am still drawing, pretty much in an almost to everyday basis. Then there's using the mouse which isn't always easy to follow the lines...I'm probably playing the whining card but....*shrugs* I'm wondering maybe a tablet would be nice to have...

coloring I don't mind doing, it's just taking the time to repeat the outlines.....I just wish I didn't have to do that and head straight to the coloring or, something :x

Hello the people who well, actually check out my work. If any of you remember I have a second fursona named Torvald. (he's in my gallery if you wanna check him out.)

He is a Torterra, but his species is gonna change to something else, something only a few of you might've guessed. So...yeah Torvald will no longer be a Pokesona and just be an anthro animal but I won't say what though, it's a secret.

Side note: Another Pokemon-based character of mine is gonna turn into a regular anthro instead of a Pokemon. This will be revealed in the future.

Okay, that's all. See ya....if anyone read this.

Well, school started for me last week and, all so I don't exactly have as much free time to make digital artwork. (I...kinda do it's just how tired I can feel when I get back home) I have however been doing sketch work on different things, either on just free sketches, practicing on the body, or sketches of characters I haven't revealed yet.

So I guess for the time being I'll be, doing that just you guys could see what I've been working on, as I am starting to take another step in becoming a great artist. (I would consider myself good to mediocre at best, I'm not a great artist yet.)

It's just from how school started for me earlier this week so I would have that and other things too. I am working on a few things such as a physique fixing for one character and some other thing.

So....yeah, please don't think I quit or anything.

You guys (those who actually look at my, mediocre-at-best work) noticed a few recent uploads of mine are in digital style. If you're wondering then yes, I'm going to be doing more digital artwork, with I guess some traditional artworks of sketches of random things once in a while (that I might be too lazy to, trace and color at Paint Tool Sai :x) so....yeah. It's time for me to step things up in my artwork by making them in digital style. Hopefully my digital artwork skills improve over time...

Just a little heads up on why I'm taking a while for showing the new character. I admit Paint Tool Sai's problem with me is the kind of brushes it has and I wanna at least try a program with more brush options. I found one called MyPaint and just trying it out atm. I'll see if I could use it for my new character intro. Wish me luck (for those who actually read my journals.)

My main goal is to be an illustrator for my series as well as make my dream to make a VN (Visual Novel) actually happen, regardless of the long road.

I also just like to draw cute or cool stuff, and have my style be in a kemono or Japanese furry art style, which I'd say I'm doing well at that so far. Being an artist has helped in increasing my creativity level in character designing.

Plus, just to make artwork for others, for free as it gives them smiles, as well as me on practice on pose attempts as well as designs.

I'm glad I chose to continue being artist, it's one hobby of mine I'm aiming to strengthen as times goes by.

What about you guys? What goals do you have as an artist?

please add me using this new account I'm using: RowanTanuki. my other account well...my email address got corrupted or something and I have to wait for 24 hours to verify my account and junk. Since I don't wanna wait, I'll just make a skype account.

What...does it mean to be happy, really?

Uhh....ask me anything? People seem to do this and I don't really post journals that much so...yeah, ask away on stuff if you like.

no this isn't about asking for a request, rather it's just...any questions you'd like to ask me.

I would see some people post journals about people asking them questions and well...why don't I give it a shot at that?

Anything you wanna ask me?

I was gonna post it next since you know, 100th submissions is not bad and all but....I really can't think up any ideas and, it's been over a week too...

so I'll postpone the 100th submission idea, and just upload other things here.

Not sure if there's anyone looking forward to what I'll do but...I got nothing and, I wanna make it special so...for now the idea will be postponed. Sorry for those who were looking forward to it, I hope you'll understand.

I can't really stop uploading stuff here in FA because of my lack of ideas for the 100th submission since there's some things to upload and all.

Thanks for taking time to read this (if you have) and sorry for inconvenience.

...It's been close to a week since, and I have yet to figure out what to draw for my 100th submission, guh....

Maybe you guys can help me with ideas? I know I want the number 100 somewhere on it, and it would have my first furonsa Rowan, along with a few other characters of mine, but that's it....

I do have a back-up idea but, it wouldn't hurt to hear any ideas you guys can share.

There are a few things I'd like to upload, but this 100th submission thing comes first so....yeah...

Please help ;_;

It's been a while since I've uploaded my muscled guys such as Yamato, and I've improved a little since then so....

yeah...I should do that :/

Yeah, if any of you were wondering why my artwork's quality was rather, mediocre at best, it's due to taking the pics by my phone.

But now, those times are done, as I've got myself a scanner! Now the future artwork I'll post will be both brighter, and clearer.
