Yes, I am alive!

I've just been super busy with university.

I have my dissertation to finish by the end of this month, then just a month later all of my final exams will be over!

Following my dissertation I'll be working on any outstanding art that I owe current commissioners, and following the end of my exams, I'll be open for business!

I'm going to be opening on the 29th of May for badges. These will be laminated and shipped and might include badge clips too so watch this space. I might also open for ref sheets if people are interested.

If you want to get in on the action regarding badges, feel free to comment here or leave me a note if you wanna ask anything about them.

They'll probably be regular size bust badges - I'll see if I can get an example up soon!

I'm pretty proud of this toony style YCH I drew earlier! It's one of the first successful 'line of action' things I've drawn especially with no references to my drawing books etc.

I was going to sell it but, since I know January can be a tough month I'm just going to raffle it off to my watchers instead ^3^

Here it is! https://www.dropbox.com/s/hije6csus.....%2042.png?dl=0

I'll happily change species/gender etc, and add little props like hats, scarves, glasses and such :)

Comment below to enter the raffle! I'll select the winner tomorrow morning! (UK time, about 11 hours from now!)

I always forget to do things! And one of those things was look around for some good size difference art, or artists. Can anyone recommend any, or show me examples of artwork you like?

So, I've really been thinking about creating my own species, but I'm worried about the possible backlash that people tend to get when making closed species etc - like, ohh that looks like so and so's species, you stole it! Or similar fan peeps trying to stick up for their favourite artists despite that artist not wanting them to cause trouble...

So I was wondering, does anyone think I still should?

I'm a super imaginative person and have a tonne of interesting back story to go with things like this xD just don't wanna get battered by peeps if my species looks like a tiny bit like something else. (There's only so many features a thing can have, after all?)

On another note, can anyone show me some closed species? I only know of a few, so would love to see some more. I'm interested in seeing them so that I don't infringe on anyone's designs but also I'm looking to adopt someone newwwww!

I noticed I never really shouted about the fact I have an F-list but I'd love it if you guys could go take a peek at it... https://www.f-list.net/c/seaborg

Because I'm looking for some suggestions!

I haven't done many sexually themed commissions or YCHs yet and I'm looking for some interesting suggestions for upcoming YCHs that I'm making and also an opportunity for one free art piece after everything I'm doing currently gets finished.

I want to get to know what my watchers like to see, I want to know what you guys are into, be it a sexual type scene or just regular stuff ｡◕ ‿ ◕｡

Even if you don't wanna trawl through my f-list you can still leave a comment telling me what you guys like, and you can ask me stuff too if you want!

Soooo, I'm totally looking forward to Northern Pride this weekend. It's over three days this year instead of just the one, but Saturday is still the main day and I'm super excited!

Just a day full of fun and seeing friends we don't usually see, cool events, music, activities etc. Plus, epic rides! There's always one rude there that I adore, it just spins you round and bounces you all over, no harness! ;3; I love it.

Also Saturday evening we'll be going out on the two aw yeahh, listen to some crazy beats and dance with some strangers and get a little alcohol xD I'm not a huge drinker to be honest, but I need the confidence when I'm surrounded by lots of hotties ^3^

And the Pride tradition shall also be fulfilled; collecting a million free condoms! Rainbow, glowing, flavoured, interesting packets, all sorts!

I don't even know why we get so many ^_^; but it's amazing fun. I'll get a bracelet and goodness knows what else while we're there, as long as it's doused in rainbows!!

So um, I might be a little harder to get hold of this weekend! But I'll still be checking up on things here and if you wanna keep updated with, I dunno, my life, commissions, special offers and my pride pictures haha, follow me on Twitter! Seabork

Also, keep an eye out for my new hair colour >:3

~ Free Plushie ~

I've always loved crafts and making stuff, and I've been wanting to buy some plush material and make more Plushies but I can't decide on a design I want to do...

So!
I'm looking for a reasonably simple, cute character (any species!) that I can use to make an approximately 12 inch anthro plushie!

All you have to do is comment here with the ref of the character you'd like to be made into a real life plush, and I'll pick one lucky winner with a random generator sometime tomorrow :3


(When the winner is picked, I'll be in contact about which materials to use and colours etc. There will be no expense for the winner, apart from possibly postage!)

So, comment away! ^_^
