Hi, apple kittens! How are you doing? =)

I have a few short updates:

> Commissions are still open for now. I’m planning to close orders by mid-December, so if you’ve been thinking about getting something, don’t wait too long! I can’t promise I’ll reopen slots anytime soon. (I can also wait to pay if necessary. I just want to make my plan as precise as possible.)

> In 2025, I’m planning to conquer a mountain —I want to take part in the "One day - one page" challenge, just like I did back in 2018 (wow, that feels like ages ago! xD).

> The Sunday Apple Lottery will return next year, but I’d like to tweak the rules a bit first.


Thanks for visiting my journal and have a nice day <3

Hello there!
Today I want to invite you to participate in my little survey*.

>>> Leave feedback for Saterina

I plan to open commissions soon and it would be cool to know what exactly is missing in your opinion in my gallery. For example, someone might miss a tribal aesthetics, someone might miss black&white artworks, and someone might miss half-naked girls with fluffy tails :3
Maybe someone wants more still lifes with apples?

Feel free to tell me your thoughts on this matter. I can't guarantee anything, but it definitely has a chance to influence YCH arts, for example.

I love and appreciate you, my wonderful audience.
Have a nice day and an apple mood. Thank you for your attention! <3

*The survey will be conducted until November 1st 2024.

Hey!
Let's do drawings! <3

https://artfight.net/~Saterina

I'm a little excited and hope to use this event to practice using Heavypaint (free version), and maybe even use paper and markers. Or maybe classical - mixbrush painting in photoshop. Who knows, so many ways to draw!

In any case, I hope that if you participate in Artfight or you are spectator, you will have fun.
I will publish art here on FA and on my personal Twitter https://x.com/SatMinola

Bright art and juicy apples to everyone!

Hello there!
So I need little help from someone, who Battle.net from Blizzard:

1) to fill my battlenet account to 50$ as payment
2) on my turn - I will draw a colorful art of one your character. You can give me any accompanying information and reference sheet, I will try use all it. (swf only, 5k px on long side)

For claim: Comment this post if you agree and I will send a Note contained the my Battletag for gifting =)
Thank you for attention!

Well, here I am in Montenegro and there are mountains, epic and giant mountains are everywhere!
Turkey was very generous and hospitable, but refused to let me stay too long, so I moved on.

In the coming days I will return to the lottery items, but perhaps I am not too precise with the timing - my table will not appear until Monday.

My question is, how do Montenegrin or Serbian artists manage to take orders?
Paypal does not work here in its usual form and the alternatives are not so obvious. >_<

Hello there! =)

Welcome to the Apple Lottery 3.0!
A weekly opportunity to get a picture from artist Saterina without any challenge. Free!

>> full info and rules for participation <<



__
I already opened a lottery a few years ago. Then I had catastrophically little experience for drawing and quite a few orders.
Today, thanks to you, I have both experience and orders, but there is no way to open them due to world problems. However, I still want to delight you with drawings and experiment with drawings.
So I hope you enjoy this improved version of the lottery - it saves all of us from having to write and keep our numbers, keep track of the lists and calculate who won and when - all decided by the art of programming (not mine).

I have only one question if you interested answer me. Do you want:
1. openly see screenshots with the name of the winner in day of roll
OR
2. will it be enough for you if I keep history via my raffle programm on my own and be able to present it to you at the first request of any of the participants?

UPDATE: thank you for your answers. I created a google folder and will be collect results here: https://drive.google.com/drive/fold.....u64ouGjV6-uamR

Hello everyone! ^^

I relocated to warm and hospitable country - Turkiya. I hope I could warm my bones here for a bit and be inspired by this incredibly sunny place with endless green vegetation and epic Taurus mountains. =)

Well, before my vacation isn't finish I want to draw something for one of you as my warming up:
> Only one slot claimed
> Pls using BMC https://www.buymeacoffee.com/applesat, I want to test the service.
> Deadline: 2-3days after payment
> I offer my usuial color sketch experiment for one character - $40 (8 "apples" for bmc)
gallery https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....CS_experiments

If you intersted - comment me here + reference sheet.
And don't throw "apples" before my confirmation order else will be just happy and drawing nothing for you except my grateful x)
I want open option with donations and sketches later, when I will be on fulltime working.


Thanks for attention and have a nice day! <3

Hello, my dears!
Hope you have a nice day =)

I found out yesterday that Patreon can become an unreliable helper for me, it has already been blocked, like Twitter, and I can’t get there without vpn service. I'm afraid that the day when the Patreon refuses to work with russian accounts is not very far away. I hope it is only my bad dream and it will never happen :c

I have a preconceived notion on the Boosty service, because of its parent company.
I'm thinking about open Boosty acc for myself in test mode. bc I know several artists who already work via boosty and all is fine.
If you used Boosty as a payment intermediary, tell me about your experience, is it convenient for you? Have you encountered any difficulties when paying through it?

Hello there!

As you know I can not use paypal :'C
So I need little help from someone:
1) to buy a pack of photomaterials for me from Gumroad ~$12 (there are a button "as gift", means possible...I guess. I never used it before ><" )
2) on my turn - I will draw a color sketch experiment (examples https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....CS_experiments).

For claim: Comment this post if you agreed and I will send a Note contained the link on gumroad and my contacts for gifting. Already closed! Thanks for attention! Maybe I will use it agent_way in near future, because I need other things like photomaterials, games and etc, that can be taking via paypal >_<'

Just for notice:
for this month I have still 3 empty slots from 8 slots on Tier "Golden Apple"
update jul 11: sold out, 8/8 slots

Thanks for attention and have a nice day! <3

It took me a few days to test some of the methods, however, I'm happy to report that I can use my Patreon platform.
In this regard, I can transfer my main activity there.
I will likely have to less make updates to my 365 3d challenge often because we live in a chaotic time right now. t_t

I rarely thought about creating content on a regular basis on patrons. Therefore, I will take advice from you, even if you do not plan to support me there.

What would you be interested in seeing as content? sketches, packs of Photoshop brushes, tips on some artistic aspects, maybe the creation process or feedback for your artworks (my English is very poor in speaking, but translators save my texts). bases for adopters, sheets for stickers. Patreon can create merch, I don't mind making some unique designs for variety.
Maybe you are interested in my own unique developments, material that I have never published here or anywhere else.

And I would also like to come up with a way to do my color sketch experiments, but I don’t know how it would be possible to put it on Patreon so that it would be possible to replace patron experiments once a month or two without problems. I figured out that it is possible to make a limited number of places, but I don’t know what to do with turnover patrons. I'm sure you're not ready for sketches for the same characters in a lot x)

Feel free to tell me about something in this context. I will be glad to read any comments.

FA is my home, I don't want to leave this place or leave you without new pictures for a long time! I was extremely sad to resort to this for the sake of stable work.

<3

Hello everyone <3

I decided to break my silence and clarify a little what I have going on here.
In the near future, I will not be able to open slots for color experiments here and accept paypal payments.
There is a big chance that for some time I will be available only for the Russian audience, although who needs pictures now? >_<"
In this case, I will just draw and delight you with my original creativity. =)

I have plan to finish all current commissions and wait for a bright and peaceful day when the sanctions are lifted. I will continue to make my sculptures and drawings for the gallery.
If I find a way to accept commissions again - I will definitely write about it here. Now there are some options on the network similar to PayPal, but no one will say whether they will be blocked tomorrow or in a couple of days.


I wish you a bright day and take care of your loved ones. <3

Hello my dear kitties and sweet apples!

I want to thank you for the this year of supporting me. Your attention at all social nets makes me very happy. ^^
Many years ago, I could not even imagine that I would be able to draw something that other people would like (except my mom x)). Sometimes I see my works being shared on social networks or smb illustrating ideas with them. You are a real treasure, I appreciate that you pay attention to my work and add them to your favs.
Also I am very glad that my experiments have found such a response and interest in you, and I hope that together we will continue to create them.

This year turned out to be not too busy, it is worth accepting this fact - in my usual workplace (I work from home) there was a renovation. Luckily, this is now complete enough for me to focus on creating new arts.

My global idea for the next 2022 year is to please you with the One day-One page series. Again! But this time I will make my 3D main one.
I already prepare a great plan for the months that I will touch on, it will be several art challenges that I have long wanted to implement, as well as funny (I expect) results from generators for artists and (if I will be alive and will not die in the process) then I have plan for you Iron artist in 3d with your characters (I will announce it in time).
As usual I will create everything in zbrush.
2d is not excluded, I hope that for a 365 challenge I will not have to turn to it, but let it be a backup plan for hard days.

I'm not sure if at this rate I will have enough time for complex or frequent commissions, but I hope that 2022 will be productive and will increase my skills for the next years. > <
But you should know, I will always find time for 2d experiments. It seems I missed the scenes and landscapes, it's time to remember what large spaces are and how characters look in there)))

I hope that you spend time in a warm atmosphere with your loved ones. I hope that this time, while we are forced to observe safe isolation, will not make us disunited and alienate us from the warmth of reality and our peoples. Do not forget to enjoy the weather outside the window and go for a walk outside sometimes!

Wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! <3

Welcome!
