congrats guys
please note / DM me your e-mails so when the artwork is ready, i can send it over to you

i thought i was gone for 2 years... been a year actually but coming close to 2.

anyway, so all my emergency commissions are finally cleared. next step is to finish up the renamon growth drive i owe you guys

then i'll think of something.

yes, commissions and requests will be coming back as well.. some time this year.

also, shopping around for a gumroad replacement since they're being absolute dicks. feel free to post suggestions below.
to that end going to make the old PDFs free as soon as i figure out the planning and where to put them

good to be back

hmm... terrible... took on way too many at once but its almost done.... just in time for my new job to start soon too.

then i'll think about finishing up the renamon growth drive. its been slow going cos the last batch mostly have multiple characters with complicated posing. the easier ones have all been taken care of so far, so there's that

don't think i'll be taking on any new commissions any time soon either. hmm... we'll see..

I think we're about at the 80% mark ... haven't totaled up yet.

Anyway. Final 24 hours as of this journal if you want to get an emergency comm from me.

Commission me here:
https://forms.gle/rNmP9ejsPmCUoAdv5

chugging along with the emergency commissions, thanks to everyone who has so kindly supported so far!

things are very slow right now cos a lot of things happening IRL as well

we've just hit the 50% mark in terms of what i need to settle the outstanding amounts.

497 / 1000 USD

5 days left to go for emergency commissions

grab one now if you haven't already cos i'll be spending the next 1 month or so working on what i owe...
and that means no commissions for the foreseeable future at the moment.

drop your commission form here.
https://forms.gle/rNmP9ejsPmCUoAdv5

if i haven't responded in a few days, i will get to it within the week.. if not yea, go ahead and remind, thanks

managed to borrow some cash so i'll last till end of the month... between running a couple of different jobs and working on emergency comms.. i'm pretty beat...
need to get like another 900-ish or so by end of the month so i can pay bills and people back.

170 / 1000

anyway... the form is finally up. drop me your commissions here : https://forms.gle/rNmP9ejsPmCUoAdv5

pricing:
Lineart for 1 character - USD 5
Lineart with flat colours for 1 character - USD 10

drop me your commissions here : https://forms.gle/rNmP9ejsPmCUoAdv5

thanks for your support guys, its been greatly appreciated

first of all thanks to everyone who's sent in a comm. working on them as we speak. will be posting up soon

i have good news. i managed to borrow some cash to tide me over but i'll still be needing to pay this off, but this let's me extend the emergency commissions period till end of june.
so far we've raised about USD 170 (gotta check) out of USD 1000

progress:
~ 170 / 1000

USD 5 for lineart - per chara
USD 10 for flat color - per chara

cash upfront, send me a description of the scene and chara, send me ref images of the chara
i'll set up a google form later. if you're interested note me your commission.

google form's on the way, just haven't had time to set it up cos im looking for a new job, so plenty of things are happening right now.

for the renamon growth drive, head on over to twitter for the moment:
you can see miara's latest progress here: twitter.com/sakroeFA/status/1661608067979694080

ok yes, there was a long absence. part of the reason was cos i was doing stuff on twitter and then needed to do other IRL shit

this was the game project i was working on... which is the IRL shit i was doing : https://vaon-rw.itch.io/assaultcrafts
game turned out well i think

anyway...
due to... lack of commissions and other income, i'm kinda broke now and i need to be paying my bills this month.

so, emergency commissions.

USD 5 for lineart - per chara
USD 10 for flat color - per chara

cash upfront, send me a description of the scene and chara, send me ref images of the chara
i'll set up a google form later. if you're interested note me your commission.

edit
i need USD 1000 by end of the month

so yeah, keep em coming, i'll keep churning them out

so some time ago,  danmingle helped me out with a YCH that wasn't really going anywhere... that was very nice.

nady's gotten into a bit of an accident and so needs help paying it off...among other issues. i've already sent some cash but i've not yet secured a new cashflow, so i can't send more yet.

[edit]
Nady's actual financial problems come from a tornado damaged home. holes in the roof and windows that need replacing. please give a hand if you can.

here's the journal for more context
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10400392

Here's her paypal - https://paypal.me/VixenusCatus

the moment you've all been waiting for!

commissions are now live!
this is a soft launch tho. i'm still working on the official commission price guide image but you can use this guide first.
put in your commission form here:
https://forms.gle/JmNMT8ra9NojWqGq7

i have noticed not so many people are comfy with uploading to their gallery, so i have updated the terms and conditions accordingly. you were always allowed and encouraged to upload to your gallery as long as you credited me as the artist because after all you've already paid me for the commission.

the only exception would be if you were to monetize the exact same artwork, then we'd need to talk about royalties. otherwise, feel free to upload, crop and use the image as you see fit. your character belongs to you.

- reference sheets are now available! prices negotiable!
- image size is now different: introducing the square image! this dimension was picked so that your glorious commission would always look good regardless if you were on a computer or smartphone. image dimension is negotiable as well.

FAQ
Do's
+ Link me as many reference images as you think necessary
+ If you don't have ref images, be as descriptive as possible in the form
+ Most fetishes are ok. for a list of fetishes i will not entertain, check the don'ts
+ ask me if you have questions using FA note, twitter DM or DA notes
+ ask me for WIP updates if you think i'm taking too long
+ yes, anonymous commissions are still available
+ creativity charge applies for instances where i need a lot of brain power, eg: complex patterns, complex scenes, no ref images, creation of a complicated ref sheet, etc. ask me to be sure.
+ inform me immediately if you have payment issues or are not able to pay within 30 days. we can work something out.
+ sharing a commission with someone is perfectly fine. one person must become the payee however as i will not accept partial payments from each person. how you split the commission cost between you guys is up to you.

Don'ts
- Fetishes i will not do: scat, extreme age (gdilf, gmilf), cub, feral (taur is alright)
- give me single sentence descriptions or expect me to know each and every character in your gallery. i've now worked on close to a hundred different characters, keep giving me full details, full reference images.
- commissions with insufficient info, details or descriptions on what you want me to do will no longer be entertained. i will inform you through DM, note or e-mail that i need more info. if you do NOT provide the info, your commission will not be accepted as i can no longer guarantee your satisfaction of the end product.
- don't forget to check your e-mails. i will send WIPs, finished products and the transferwise cash transfer requests to your e-mail. i may remind you using DM or notes but the bulk of the conversation will be on e-mail
- if you have a conversation with me about your commission using DM, notes or discord, kindly do not expect me to start your commission just based on this. use my commission form as it makes things significantly easier to keep track of. i will not start your commission just because you DMed me your idea. your commission form is important to me.
- once you have approved the initial sketch, your final chance to do massive changes your commission is during or after the phase 1 lineart / drawing phase. once you have approved the phase 1 lineart / drawing phase, massive changes may be rejected or will incur extra charges since i may need to heavily modify the existing commission. eg. massive changes, character is completely changed to a new one, size of the character increases or decreases by 100%, background changes from a city to seaside. if you're not sure, be sure to ask me what would be a massive or small change.

everything good? put in your commission form here!
https://forms.gle/JmNMT8ra9NojWqGq7

if you're unclear on anything, drop me a line here or in notes

i'm going for part 2 of my training tomorrow so i won't have time to update as normal

+ new payment processor found!
paypal will still be in the background at the moment because most websites still use paypal, so no luck completely removing it there. fortunately, going forwards i'll be using transferWise. this should be a somewhat simpler system that will actually be helpful for everyone since it will not force you to create an account in order to pay me. you can directly transfer the money using your bank account. you can however create an account to make things easier... cos of course

this means invoicing will also be different going forwards in february. they'll still be e-mailed to you but will look very different.

on a side note, i have tested out lots of other payment processors. so, far all of them are for "normal" businesses and assume you have a business license or company number. so, those were considered but not viable.

+ confirmed changes to deviantart
as of yesterday when i dropped the CNY pix, this solidifies DA side going full anime femuscle, so expect that to continue going forwards. seems to be doing ok as of now.

+ deactivation of weasyl
i have kept checking and checking but weasyl never seems to grow and i think is a bit useless as an art repository since no one even bothers going there. weasyl will be phased out in the coming months. i will not be uploading to weasyl anymore after this.

+ miara the renamon keeps growing and so is twitter
we are now literally 10 follows away from 300, which is a big milestone for me, at least on twitter. will draw up something for it when it happens.

the renamon growth drive will keep going probably until march, since so many people want to see her go intergalactic.

follow me on twitter to speed up her growth! https://twitter.com/sakroeFA
to see how big miara currently is, go here: https://twitter.com/sakroeFA/status.....14572424310785

+ commissions coming back soon
as i will be in training until next week, commissions will only launch some time in the middle of feb, so stay tuned for that

going to need some time to retool and recalibrate what i want to offer

expect the announcement and price list to drop by mid-feb ish

+ gumroad consolidated packs
this is going on the backburner for a bit because too many things are happening at the moment, don't worry they should be back around feb / mar. will let y'all know around that time frame.

and that's about it. happy lunar new year and stuff! don't let the renamon bite!

RENAMON GROWTH WHEN?

expect the growth drive to start around the 10th Jan. will keep y'all posted.

WHERE?
it will be on my twitter and exclusively on it only. not reposting elsewhere.

sooo... best be following me there. if you haven't already go ahead and follow here : https://twitter.com/sakroeFA

WHERE IS MY COMMISSION?
it's on the way. i've only just cleared half of the current batch, relax. if i have not yet sent you a WIP piece and it has been more than 2 weeks, do feel free to reach out either on e-mail or note.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR GUMROAD?
excellent question. at the moment i have deactivated all products. i need to stop incoming orders for the moment to allow payments to catch up. it will be back some time next month. i will also be consolidating some of the products into single PDFs. if you're having problems redownloading your PDF you've paid for previously, e-mail or note me with proof of your purchase and i'll see what i can do.

I SAW YOU STREAMING LAST NIGHT
Correct! i am now randomly streaming muscle / growth artwork. These are random streams which will happen....well, randomly. want to get updated on when a stream happens? follow me on : https://picarto.tv/sakroeMassiveTV/profile


obligatory BGM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNwKYgM6SkM

hi folks, its time for a new growth drive, but this one's going to be twitter specific.

follow me on twitter : https://twitter.com/sakroeFA

i've got a list of characters for you guys to choose from, so vote away.

each person gets up to 3 votes. we'll do a tie breaker or round 2 if need be.

vote here: https://strawpoll.com/polls/X3nk60mbYyE

growth drive to drop some time next month, so look forward to that

so, obviously. i'm back and there are some major updates as promised earlier.

1. 50% OFF on all commissions from now till 31st dec. best be grabbing them now!

2. i am shifting off paypal some time early next year. i'm targeting january, so if you've been wanting a commission from me, now's the best time to do it before i go off temporarily again

3. not fully related to our current FA scene but if you're interested, my deviantart page will be breaking away to focus more on female muscle work instead. check it out here: https://www.deviantart.com/sakroe

4. it is time for a new growth drive but this time it'll be focused on twitter, cos it needs some love too. comment below which chara or eeveelution you'd like to see

5. weasyl is pretty stagnant, so i'm thinking of shutting it down. comment below if you've got other places i can spread my muscle art to. currently kind of thinking newgrounds

6. finally starting work on my ref sheets so look out for those soon


ref video from the 4koma and intro music for this journal : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI71Y-75mSk

goodbye motherfuckers.... nah not really

ok here's what's going to happen.

any remaining affiliate requests will be settled during the month. and so will any outstanding commissions.

i will be incommunicado during the middle and latter half cos i'm heading overseas... its been a few years, i would like to go somewhere else. no, i will no be disclosing this info.

some other projects happening in the meantime when i've settled most of the stuff:
- character profiles and character sheets, finally

- re-structuring deviantart
ok this one's a little more interesting. based on the data i've been seeing over the past few months. for some reason, deviantart is more responsive to anime female muscle.... and since the algorithm there is weirder, that's what i'm going to retool the deviantart account for. i may shut down the deviantart in a few more months if it continues to not generate commissions. kind of wasting my time.

- paypal replacement
in view of the shittery paypal has been up to lately i will be making a permanent shift off paypal. i will be re-looking into options. parallel economy seems relatively viable but i'll need to test. payoneer has been nothing but cancer last i tested, so that will not be repeated. i'll maintain paypal towards end of the year but coming january and the next quarter i'll be shifting operations off it.

gonna have a stream this sunday at 1am, + 8GMT / UTC, MY/SG

going to try and clear the new batch of affiliate reqs and if there's extra time, handle some commissions and other side projects

follow me on picarto to see what's going on
https://picarto.tv/sakroeMassiveTV

affiliate request batch 1 completed

alright, the first batch is done. i'll be posting up on my end... soon ish.

to all the people who have shouted out and requested, do go ahead and post them up to your galleries.

thank you for your shout outs.

commission updates:
1 in queue, slots available for commission work.

---

well.... not so much going on right now. a lot of things have slowed down a bit. so, thinking of doing an AMA thing again. i'll probably open up something on twitter, so you can either DM me there or reply the tweet. i might draw out the response if the question is interesting or unusual enough.

that said, i'm also thinking of doing a bit of marketing.

my current idea is this: if you give me a shout out on your journal or post up something in your gallery that directs your followers to my pages on deviantart or furaffinity or twitter, i'm open to doing a lineart sketch for you in exchange. feel free to reach out to hash out the details. i'll make this idea a bit more concrete going forwards but that's the gist of it: shout out for lineart sketches. yes, i am indeed looking for more commissioners, so i feel a little affiliate marketing will go a long way or at least help it along.


for the next 7 days, use this link to get into the discord server : https://discord.gg/BSry64zY

sakroe's jukebox : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQUrNuq0LOg

i have just discovered the links to my twitter and deviantart links weren't working....because they added another set of twitter and deviantart URLs on top of it. this has now been corrected.

updates:

commissions:
yes, commissions still open. order yours here: https://forms.gle/vACAEtQKmY5JkAsaA

current queue: 2
available slots : 10

feel free to DM me regarding any questions you may have for your commissions

gumroad:
yes, that was the secret project: hyper hulking himbo beach 2022 has officially launched. quite happy with how it turned out overall. i might do something a lil different going forwards but for now, i'm going to catch up on my commissions and work on some other projects.

discount code is still good for another 2 more days and is useable for my other gumroads if you haven't already picked them up
discount code : HHHB-party

buy HHHB-2022 here: https://bit.ly/3CXCca0

projects going forward:

+ character reference sheets
this one's been a long time coming and will help establish sakroe, ally and my current roster of characters.... who i need to draw more of.... preferably doing sexy shit. i'm going to make them a bit more in depth.... because that's how i like things done.

+ AMA
i dunno, felt like doing it. i'm probably going to set up an ask.fm thing in case people didn't feel comfortable publically asking. i have no idea how it works and well, should be fun i guess. ask me anything....when its set up. if you've suggestions on how else i can do it, leave it in the comments below.

+ back to studies
i do need to figure out how to draw and render better so i can give you guys better quality... so that's something i'm currently doing right now.

+ real life stuff
i've started heading to the gym again! finally.... cos i'm pretty tired of being a fat fuck and i should at least try to look like half the himbo my character is. worst case scenario i become slim and kind of boring looking. best case is either becoming a thicc-ish femboi or a short stack-ish himbo. already booked a full year, so we'll see how that goes.... it took me 8 years to fuck my body up, so i expect it to be a slow process anyway.

+ 2 actual questions to you all

1. F-list.
i have considered. and i would like some input, feedback or thoughts on sakroe being on F-list. also i don't actually know the first thing about RP.

2. more of what sort of content going forwards?
i now do 3 kinds of hyper, macro muscle : female muscle, himbo muscle and herm muscle. which do you want to see more of going forwards?
