Do you take commissions?
- A: No, unfortunately. I have a very hard time maintaining focus/motivation for this sort of work, on top of everything else I do.

Do you take trades?
- A: This varies case-by-case. I tend to favor mutuals or people who I know at least a little.

Can I draw your characters?
- A: Absolutely! I adore fanart! However, if you're going to draw anything NSFW, please reach out to me first just to get the OK on content. Also, I am very protective of their designs and I ask that you adhere to how they are originally drawn somewhat with regards to their body-types.

What's the timeline on finishing The Red Infinity?
- A: At the moment I can't say for sure. I'm trying to get 1-2 pages published per month. I know this is slow but I work two jobs currently - one at an art gallery and one at a coffee shop - and making a full color, full detail comic is a lot of work. I'm in talks with a small indie publisher which I'm very excited about, so I'm hoping I can wrap it up soon and move on to my next comic project.

~~ Brief, General Update ~~
In September of 2022 I moved back to Boston and life has been pretty chaotic since then. Good in a lot of ways, but definitely chaotic. I was reliant on food service wages for a period of quite a few months there and in a city as expensive as this one that can certainly be stressful. All I can say is support cafe and restaurant worker unions in any way you can, as well as affordable housing initiatives!

In May I got hired at a university's art gallery for installation work. Despite it being part-time this has been a huge help to me, and something I'm extremely excited about moving forward. Hoping I can move towards a more fulltime career in this field and finally have a bit of stability (and get out of barista hell once and for all).

To anyone I had the pleasure of talking to at Anthro New England, it was a wonderful experience getting to meet you all! I'm eager to be back next year, and have my sights set on Furpoc, Furrydelphia, and Furcationland in addition to ANE. Beyond this, thank you to everyone who has shown continued support through your kind comments, engagement, and patronage. I make next to nothing off my artwork and while I have a strong drive to put time and effort into the stories I tell, there is always a Lagrange point between the initial drive to start a large project and the excitement of closing in on finishing it. The enjoyment others find in my work is what carries me through these slumps. Thank you.

Hello everyone!
I managed to land artist's alley slots for all three of the days at ANE this year. Assuming covid doesn't shut down the con, I'm super excited to finally get back into tabling after... exactly 2 years.... seeing how ANE was my last convention pre-covid. If you're planning on attending, feel free to swing by and say hi! I love chatting with fans of my artwork.
Hope to see some of you there!

Hello everyone, just figured I'd give a little update on what I've been doing lately. This weekend I worked at a convention for the first time ever - ANE in Boston, to be exact. I had a great time, and met some truly amazing people. Really looking forward to doing it again next year!

I'm also hoping to attend Granitecon, Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo (MICE), and Pine Fur Con at some point, as well - stay tuned for that!

As for commissions, all slots for pencil drawings are currently booked! If these go smoothly, I'm planning on opening slots for larger-scale ink and watercolor commissions, which will likely be done over the summer.

- CURRENT COMMISSION LIST -

EC Major - Page of Ballpoint Pen sketches
GSSF - Detailed Pencils
Zerok - Detailed Pencils
Morghus - Detailed Pencils

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted here (10 months, in fact), so I figured I'd post a little update.

To start, I've transferred schools, and am now attending an intensive art school in the North Shore area of Massachusetts. I'm slowly building my skills up under the guidance of some very talented artists. At this point I'm aspiring to do concept and cardgame art. Who knows, maybe in ten years, if I study hard enough, I could be working for Wizards of the Coast. That would be a dream!

I'm also attempting to be more active in this community. There are many, many great folks that I've met since I first stepped into the furry world - which was about two years ago at this point - and it's my hope that I'll continue making friends here.

Additionally, I'm currently offering commissions, the information for which you can find here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29944568/. If you've asked for a commission in the past, and I was unable to find the time for it (such was the case with my last commission offerings), you'll get first priority.

Finally, at this time I'm attempting to get a slot for Artist's Alley at Anthro New England in Boston, Massachusetts. This is very exciting for me, as it'll be my first time really putting myself and my art out there! If you're looking to attend a con in February, by all means please consider dropping by! Last year it was the first furry con I'd ever been to, and I had an absolutely wonderful time. Even if I'm unable to do AA there this year, I'll definitely still be there just to hang out!

P.S - if you want to see more activity from me, I would suggest following me on Twitter. I post there almost every day, so you'll get to see all sorts of sketches and arts, and hear my silly ramblings! https://twitter.com/SephiveDewlap

Hopefully will be posting more art here in the future. Most of the time with my sketches I don't feel as if they're worth posting, but eh, I guess it can't hurt...

Current Commission List

Raize - Detailed drawing w/ background. Completed/Needs to be scanned
GSSF - Detailed drawing.
Iggy - Detailed drawing.

I'd like to preface this entry by saying two things. Firstly, I apologize for this account going dead for the past few months. School has made it difficult, if not impossible, to draw finished personal art. Also, I've gotten into a phase where I don't think any of my work is worth posting here, but more on that later. Secondly, what I write here is likely going to seem very attention-whorish or edgy. I want to make it known that neither of those things are my goal in writing this. This entry is merely a means of venting - nothing more than a collection of thoughts and issues that I encounter. I will speak as if I am writing in my own personal journal. Raw thoughts. No one ought to feel obligated to respond to it. I do not expect sympathy over this, nor do I necessarily desire it. It is simply here, existing for the sole reason of giving me something to do.

As of writing this, I have spent several months going through a downwards spiral with regards to my relationships with friends and my own emotional stability. My behavior towards those around me is utterly abysmal - I am far more of a burden than a friend. I am spiteful; I am angry; I am self-hating; and I am pessimistic. Conversation cannot be held without it devolving into an argument thanks to me. I can sense that those around me hate me for it - and rightfully so. Behavior such as this is incredibly taxing, and I do not blame people for not liking someone who is, quite frankly, very unlikable. Even now, reading over these words, I myself get annoyed at the whiny and self-loathing tone. Having no one else to talk to, my moaning most often befalls those around me, which is very unfair to them.

Emotions are unruly. I feel intense hatred towards people for the most minor things - I do not understand why. This has happened to people whom I was once friends with, and those friendships have since ceased because of it. They, obviously, are not responsible for this. It is entirely my fault, and I accept that. I believe it to be a fault of my own character to lack the power to overcome these emotions and get them in check.

Why am I like this? I've never been able to fully understand it myself. Perhaps certain people are just predisposed to have terrible personalities, but I somehow doubt that is the case. Again, it seems less like a natural state of being and more like a severe fault of character that ought to be controllable. I think part of it may stem from a feeling of inferiority. Every artist I encounter is so incredibly better than me, and because I have such a fragile ego - yet another fault of character - I become angry at myself. This anger rises to the surface and surrounds me with an aura of contempt dismal self-deprecation. Again, no one is to blame except me. I have been incredibly lazy during my teenage years, and my lack of skills is a result of a lack of hard studying, practice, and determination. All other artists have achieved a high level of skill because of these things, and it would be stupid of me to think that my inability to do the same is due to anything other than sheer laziness. Excuses would be just that: petty excuses.

It is a cycle. Inferiority leads to feelings of being an outsider; feelings of being an outsider lead to anger and sadness; anger and sadness lead to the loss of friends. Thus, I am rendered a true outsider. All by my own doing. I must accept the responsibility for this. I alone must understand that I am not at all a good or decent person. Much like with an addiction, the first step towards recovery is admitting and coming to grips with how horrible I am.

And what is that recovery? How do I improve my personality and get better with the way I treat others? I don't know quite yet. I am not going to sit here and pretend to have answers. One thing I do know, though, is that I must obsessively continue to practice and improve at art. It is the only foreseeable solution currently to the depressive state I am in. Happiness, for me, can only come out of that. But I am young now and quite unwise - it would not surprise me if things change with time. This is not a mathematical problem - there is no singular, set solution to the problem at hand. Additionally, I think limiting interaction with others would held minimize the damage I do to them. The last few friendships I have seem to be slipping away, and pretty soon I fear I truly will be isolated. All I can do now is try to cling to what I have.

Again, as I said at the beginning of this, this is not a cry for attention or sympathy. All I wish to do is let off some thoughts. Thank you.

So.... by this time next week I'll be starting my freshmen year of art school in Boston. Hooooly shit - it's both exciting and scary. For those of you who don't know, I'll be studying illustration, so although I might not get to draw dragons as much over the next few months, I'll be learning all about how to make actual art and improve my skills - which, hopefully, will translate into even better dragon drawings!

I also hope being there will help me improve myself, as well.

Without going into too much detail, there are some things about my personality I'm hoping to change - things that have hurt or annoyed some of my closest friends to the point where I fear if I don't change I'll loose them. Much of it pertains to my sense (or lack thereof) of self worth and a tendency to be highly critical towards myself, to the point where I flat-out ignore the things my friends are trying to tell me - things that are only meant to help. This is damaging and counterproductive, and I wish every day that I could somehow take back what I've said in the past, or simply stop acting this way. Much like with art, though, I'll only improve if I put forth effort. The friends I've made in this community over the past year have been a godsend. They've helped me with my art and lifted me out of the dull, lonely existence I led prior to opening up online. In the past few days I've come to realize that there are several issues I need to work out about myself, and feel that this move to the city to begin a new chapter in my life will help with that.

Finally, I recently hit 100 watchers - a milestone that, again, would not have been possible without the help of my friends. I'd like to extent my deepest thanks to everyone who helped me get this far. As someone who currently has zero confidence in his work, seeing that so many people enjoy what I create is so incredibly encouraging. Thank you all for this. I hope that I'll continue to improve and make art for this wonderful community for many years to come.

As some of you may know, I'm starting art school in Boston in the fall. I'm very excited about this, as it's the first time I'll be A) taking actual art classes, B) living in a city... as opposed to rural New Hampshire... and C) having the opportunity to meet other artists and furries. One of the main things I hope to do is attend my first ever convention, this being Anthro New England, which is just a short distance from my school. It's still many months away, and being the shy person that I am, things are still up in the air regarding whether or not I'd be willing to display my art, or even if I'll have the time to go. But I'm going to try nonetheless. If anyone else is planning to go, feel free to speak up. It would be nice to have a group of friends to go with, rather than just wander around by myself, or sit in the corner trying to sell things alone. :)

WOW! I can't believe I've made it this far! You guys are the best, and I thank you all for this! Hopefully I won't be as dead in the months going forward. :D Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Thank you all so much! This certainly feels good. I hope to continue making art, and I'm really happy you've all seem to like it. Again, thank you.
