(CLOSED) Belated 1k watcher raffle! (AMA)
Posted 3 years agoGood morning folks,
Thought I'd do a bit of a raffle thing, I'm not sure if I wanna pick one or two winners from this, but will see! Either way, feel free to enter down below. I'll assign you all a number and reply to questions that aren't uncomfortable for me of course. After a bit (probably the end of next week (Friday 7th Oct 17:00 BST)
The raffle equivalent would be either a full body of a single character shaded, or two character thigh ups, as long as I'm comfortable drawing it too.
Thanks for watching and the long term support! You're all wonderful :p

Thanks for 1k watchers!
Posted 3 years agoWow, this one crept up on me x3
I'll admit, no idea what to do for this one, maybe a raffle, or a special stream sometime, feel free to leave suggestions below.
But yeah, thanks for watching and hopefully enjoying my art over the years!

About owed stuff to pals
Posted 3 years agoMentioned on this twitter, but I think it'd be better to mention it here too.
For a while as some closer pals know, I've a habit of saying I owe them a doodle and such, mainly just due to how most friendships I used to have in the fandom since last year, I've always been the person to initiate any interactions or chats (which gets exhausting), so it was some attempt to stay a relevant person in their mind, which, at the time, really did help me bloom more from a shit artist to a somewhat competent one over the years!
Although, with commissions being more common, and work being a thing as well, I've caught myself doing this still, but not having the time to still do it, seeing I can't be a nocturnal goblin anymore in the weekdays at the moment. So, until then, just to heads up to people that if I say I'll draw something for you, chances are I'll not get around to it guaranteed and might have a good chance at slipping through.
I hope to change this at some point, but until then, apologies to folk I 'owed' stuff to and never got around to

2 Ideas I wanna put forward and get thoughts on
Posted 3 years agoI put this on twitter as well, but there's 2 things I wanna put forward out there for thoughts.
1. Maybe thinking of making a suggestion box, whether it's a google docs thing or a discord thing, for ideas I can pluck from if I've nothing of my own to try out. It'd be for times of idea droughts so not the most done, but it'd be there at least for people.
2. I'd be curious about setting up a bit of a bounty board thingy, where I'd put ideas there myself for stuff I'd be curious to commission, but I'm worried about spooking off artists that'd not wanna try them, even if it's just stuff I draw, for those moments I get a little dull to my own style (plus I have characters I've never seen in another's style, especially my dominant ones)
Whether comments here or PMs lemme know your thoughts

Mini Commissioner PSA
Posted 3 years agoHey folks, if you've recently offered to commission me in the past and I haven't done it yet, I'll admit I've probably forgotten about it whether I confirmed or turned it down xwx. If you're still interested please poke me again. I've completed everything that's been paid for at least so that's no issue, though it'll mean that I'll have to see if I want to do it first.
Some factors will include stuff of course like:
-Work load, I'll be likely leaning to doing singles over sequences for example, personal preference here I'll confess x~X, but this is highly based on if I'm inundated or empty and will confirm
- Group commissions unless in a group chat together. it's only happened a couple times, but if you're involving someone else indrectly in a commission, it's on you to send them the WIPs and conifrm they are good with it, it's not fair on me and other commissioners that I have to redo a picture from scratch after it's finished because pose issues were brought up when it's all coloured/shaded
- Usual nos on my commission sheet
Thanks for the time to read in any case, enjoy your day!

Anyone around the GMT/BST timezones for bants?
Posted 3 years agoJust during times when I'm at work or in general, I'd be curious to see who'd not mind chatting at those times, though as you'd expect I'd be delayed a lot if at work. Please only 18+ only due to topics but if you want my discord or telegram should be below, just in case there's more local timezone folk I don't know about x3
That time of year again soon for the Partmas thing
Posted 4 years agoEvery year I'm sure the older lurkers know I tend to try and doodle a picture of Vespera and squeeze as many acquaintances as I can onto her in a part tf picture, and every year it's a bit of a panic for me to organise it all on the eve x3. This year I'd be curious to ask pals to prod me as early as possible to maybe have dips on any spots they'd want, though one character per person unless I get desperate to fill later into the weeks. Much preferably on discord or via my discord group, feel free to prod me to be added to it as long as you're 18+ and no trouble
Thanks for 20k page visits!
Posted 4 years agoI'll have to think of something special for it, lemme know thoughts too on what xwx
A little short 2 slot discount on canon chars? (Closed)
Posted 4 years agoI know it's a bit of a weird one but I'd be curious to see what people would be interested in seeing me draw. I'll have this up for the week or until both slots are taken.
33% Discount on TF themed pictures featuring either 2 canon characters, or a canon and an OC. (2 character 'limit', more can be discussed with certain TFs in mind)
Slot 1 - Jade
Slot 2 - Anonymous
Slot 3 - Pending
Preferably with themes that you'd expect me to draw if that's alright (inanimate tf/toony shenanigans/bodypart absorption), wouldn't feel right my foray into drawing them being too sex leaning.
Feel free to prod me on discord or telegram or notes if you have questions about this
(Usual terms and conditions and 'what's okay' applies heres from my commission sheet)

Semi Important Announcement on my end
Posted 4 years agoHey there folks, thanks for clicking in to have a look. The main thing to say is from tomorrow I'm gonna start working a mon-fri 9am - 2pm job, which is both exciting and a little nerve wrecking.
The main things this will mean is I will have to stay rather diurnal in the weekdays now, so I can't message people at unholy hours anymore, so try and do the same for me if you can xwx (I'm GMT)
The other is I'm probably gonna put out a fair bit less gift art, especially the secret ones you never see me upload, so I suppose it won't change much for most of you folk.
The last thing which might be important for commissioners, is that I'm gonna be a little more picky on what I pick up to do, if folk are alright with that, less likely for me to take bulk commissions/sequences.
Either way this stuff is probably fairly tame but it's been my first foray into the working work for a long while now, so there's a bit of that 'fear of the unknown' kicking in.
All current things I said I'd work on I'm still gonna be finishing of course, if I have followed up on it anyway, would be best if you messaged to confirm. Thanks for watching anyhoo

A question about folk coming to discord server stuff
Posted 4 years agoFolks might know that I do have a discord server for myself, and was thinking about making a kink one, though I wanted to ask how people feel when it comes to either leaving open invites to it, or inviting people individually? Recently it's been the latter way but there's not been any new joiners in a while
Question for people about art spam with YCH stuff
Posted 4 years agoWould you rather me in future just post it all into my scraps, or rather I keep what I do which is just shove it into a linked imgur thread?
Apologies if I use journals a lot to ask questions, you guys are way more responsive than twittter :o

Just a little Inanimate TF asking of folk interested
Posted 4 years agoWhat would you wanna see more of me in this field? Might do google docs in future more for this sorta stuff but wanna see what people might want, if an idea in the comments clicks with me might attempt it, though high chance it'll be with my characters, if it's under another could drag yours into it too maybe
Snall heads up to potential commissioners about price
Posted 4 years agoThanks for the interest at first to say! Though one thing I'm going to be doing soon is upping the price a little bit, and when that will be the case is when my commission sheet upload is updated to them.
I will only be stating them in the GBP value due to the funkiness recently between it and USD, but I will still take cash in USD if you explicitly ask if you don't mind there, though if you don't clarify for invoices chances are I'll be charging in GBP.
The plan for the base prices will be £15 flats, £20 with shading/lighting if that's all good.
Feel free to comment below thoughts and such

Apologies for the delay though the raffle has been rolled
Posted 4 years agoThe winner has been contacted, though I might roll a second on that list at some point if I get some spare time xwx
Oh dang 500 watchers, obligatory raffle?
Posted 4 years agoThis one I might leave to tick for a while, probably midnight bst this sunday, though feel free to comment below if you want to enter, say your favourite TF forms or something x3
Trying to expand my discord server (Also Patreon experime...
Posted 4 years agoMight open up my discord server to be something folks can join after poking my discord and being invited, as long as you link me where you found me from so I can see if you're over 18 or not, and if you're someone before that's been a bit of a source of trouble for friends before. This is just a bit of an attempt to give it a bit more life, and maybe sometime can be somewhere I can privately stream art and games and stuff. I do bimonthly raffles though I wanna keep this to people that have been in the server for longer than a week themselves.
Also created https://www.patreon.com/shalon as a bit of an experimental idea, for feedback, though the prices on there are pretty much the same as if you'd commission me so there's probably no reason to join it yet
Thanks for reading and take care folks :o

2 Slots for 30% off until Christmas for some themed stuff
Posted 5 years agoSaid themes for this would probably either be Christmasy stuff or inanimate/mergy TF stuffs! Might open more slots if I have the time for it but thought I'd open it up, though there will be a limit of 2 full characters here, 'cameos' as more are fine though.
Original prices and TOS stuff can be found here https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39023333/

Posted 5 years agoWinners have been contacted, thanks for taking part, might do more random ones in future on here or twitter in future so stick around :o
Thanks for 10k visits! Maybe time for another raffly thin...
Posted 5 years agoIt's rare for people to wanna do stuff for page visits but I thought that hitting a nice number in there was a good feeling of pride in my blue soul x3
Comment below and I'll mark a number next to it to roll on 23:59 this Friday 4th December (single fullbody/two character thigh up), feel free to comment about what you'd wanna see from me I haven't done yet, or maybe YCH/group ideas I should steal for another time.
Will spin twice if I get at least ten entries
Edit, I'm gonna extend the deadline to 11:59am Sunday 6th December since it'll line up to when I get back from a family visit

PC borked, downtime between 1 day to 14 expected
Posted 5 years agoI can't draw and my SSD decided to die on me a few days ago. The construction is pathetic to the point that this is gonna be a trial just to send the thing back, so I'll not be able to draw for until I replace the damn thing, sorry folks x.x
Thanks for the 400 watchers! A mini raffle mayhaps? (Clos...
Posted 5 years agoComment in this journal if you're curious and by the end of Saturday (GMT) I'll have a look and see who we got. Lemme know your favourite kink you wanna see more of me or something.
Will be soft shaded and only one character, unless it involves one of mine too, what I'll draw and not is summed up here https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39023333/

If I've drawn for you before and have a twitter..
Posted 5 years agoIs it all good if you'd prod me and lemme know what your twitter @ is? I'm gonna start probably dumping some art from here on there some point soon (more recent stuff most likely) and wouldn't mind being able to give the most accurate creditation there, whether notes, PMs via discord or telegram or even the comments here
Dumb giveaway concept I might ask for input on
Posted 5 years agoLong time no journal! How's folks been going in here?
To cut to the chase I had a dumb idea whilst watching the gameshow 'catchphrase' if anyone is familiar with that in the UK, and wanna see if it's a way I can set up a giveaway/free commission and all that.
The nutshell is in any scrappy picture that's bracketed with '(Guess the phrase) or GTP in the title or description, whether on twitter or on FA here, the first person the comment will be poked in a reply for a free basic image, probably a post-inanimate TF thing or whatever might be related to the topic of the picture,
When I do them might be random and there will be some unfair elements like timezones or having to know the name of a character in the picture (which will be in the description probably)
One rule will be only one answer from a person will be allowed per 5 minutes, and answers from people between them will be hidden if I catch it, and only one guess is allowed per comment.
Folks reckon it's worth a shot or too gimmicky?

Opening my own discord server for an experiment
Posted 5 years agoHey folks, just to let you know I'll be opening a little server to gather my operations a little bit better, whether some folks and friends want to chat to me there together about art stuffs and maybe stuff I might do for practice. If you note or message me on discord, I'll send you an invite to the server! Understand that I know a lot of people with many different interests, so I'll have to think of a way to various categories of weirdness people might wanna bring there.
Understand too that it won't be immediately active due to being new, but maybe later in the month I can regularly banter there.
Some ground rules though, first would be no minors, hence why it's invite only for now, the other being if you've been not great to my friends or other servers I've been in I'll be reluctant to let you join. Another is please keep anything political and the like to the minimum, there are other places your thoughts are better heard than my personal hideout >w>
