I'm Still Alive
Posted 3 years agoHonest, I still exist! I actually JUST recently logged back onto Taps for the first time in YEARS. So many people are long gone, which makes me sad, but getting to talk to at least some good, old friends is just what I needed!
Now it's time to update character desc's and maybe work on new art.

Enfield as a hybrid anthro character...
Posted 9 years agostumbled upon the description of the Enfield on Pinterest. Seems like it'd be a fun hybrid animal to anthropomorphize...
"a fictitious creature sometimes used in heraldry, having the head of a fox, forelegs like an eagle's talons, the chest of a greyhound, the body of a lion, the hindquarters and tail of a wolf."
I bet folks could come up with a lot of variations on how they think this'd look as an anthro. Just my IMHO.
I could totally see it being depicted with clothing and scenery to match it's origins, too.
"The earliest known example of the enfield is the crest of the Ó Cellaigh clan of Ireland. Ó Cellaigh of Uí Maine are the most documented O'Kelly sept in early Irish history and annals. The enfield appears in Leabhar Ua Maine.
The ancient tradition among the O'Kellys is that they have borne this fabulous animal since the days of King Tadhg Mór Ua Cellaigh who fell "fighting like a wolf dog" on the side of the High King of Ireland, Brian Boru, at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. When Tadhg Mor fell this mythical beast issued from the nearby sea to protect the dead body of the chief until it was retrieved for proper burial by his kinsmen."
I dunno, maybe I'm burned out on the usual critters folks turn into furries? Nah,probably not... but I like different stuff. This is definitely different!
"I have searched in several works on heraldry for a description of the enfield, but without success. It does not appear to be a cognizance of much in use, and it does not appear to be found in Gwillam's "Display of Heraldry" folio: not even in Cap 26 of that book, which chapter treats solely of fictitious creatures, supposed to be compounded of different kinds and natures, such as Griffons, Wiverns, dragons, cockatrices, harpies, mermaids. Neither is the term enfield given or explained in Crossley's "Signification of things borne in Heraldry". To my gifted friend, Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King of Arms, I, however am indebted for the following definition of this composite fabulous creature, viz. :— "The Enfield is a heraldic animal, having the head of a fox, the breast feathered as an eagle's, the foreclaws also of an eagle; the remainder of the body that of a wolf." It follows from such description that the enfield, being compounded of the fox, eagle, and wolf, indicated that he, by whom it was borne, was reputed to possess the subtlety and cunning of the first named beast; the magnanimity and fortitude, with the honour, labor, industry, and diligence, in great manners, of the eagle; and the fierceness of the wolf." - The Journal of the Kilkenny and southeast of Ireland archaeological society, Vol II, 1858–1859, Dublin, University Press, McGlashan & Gill

Sick And Tired Of Sick And Tired...
Posted 10 years agoOr at least of Sore And Tired.
It's been almost 16 months since I injured my arm.
It's been a year since my first surgery.
It's been almost 5 months since my second surgery.
The pain is still unbelievable, and still undiagnosed.
I can lift my arm a bit, but not enough to do my job or everyday tasks. I have basically no strength. My job has yet to allow me to work, so I've had no income since August. I'm surviving on donations.
I'm so fucking frustrated and sad. I really have to try to not give up on life in general.

Easter Bunneh
Posted 10 years agoI went to go log onto Taps with my character, Faydeen, who is part Easter Bunneh, but I guess she got purged a while back. Boo! I loved that rabbit. She has unlimited candy in her cleavage.
Building a new OC in my mind
Posted 11 years agoKinda furry, mostly not.
I had an idea for something that's almost like a Faun.
This species will have curled horns like Mouflon:
http://www.europeanoutfitting.com/i.....mouflon_01.jpg
Both male and female will have fully curled horns.
They will have elongated, fur-less ears like this:
http://www.aradanicostumes.com/imag.....eb-500x500.jpg
The will also have a perky, deer/sheep-like tail.
But that's where the similarities for Fauns end. No body fur. No digitigrade legs. No hooves. The face is 100% human.
The thing is, I want this thing to be completely separate from the Fauns that folks are familiar with. I want this to be something unique, but it feels like I need to still add something to it to make it NOT a Faun. Whatever it is, I want it to be something that I can easily cosplay as well. Hmmm....
I tried sketching my idea, but I suck at drawing humanoids, and I'm finding it hard to draw with my one arm in a sling. Ugh! So for now I'm gathering jpegs of stuff that I'd want to use for inspiration. A folder of images that piece together to form a collage that is this brainstorm.
So welcome to my race of sheep folk. The Ariesians.

Update about this here Shali chick...
Posted 11 years agoSo yeah, I'm still alive. Excited? Me neither!
I'm spending most of my time on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and Twitch.
I don't have internet at home, just on my iPhone.
Still working my ass off.
I ride a badass moped.
The only cons I regularly do are MegaCon and DragonCon. I haven't hit a furry event in eons. I miss it though!
I miss the fandom so much as a whole. I'm not on Taps or FurryMUCK as much as I used to be. I'm obviously not on here much. But I do miss you fuckers!
My fractal art is slow over this past year, but I've been fairly fruitful as a whole. Well over a thousand fractals up on DeviantArt!
So yeah, that's about it.

Posted 14 years agoWas amazing! First time I treated it as a 3 day event. Nice! I met way more furries than other years... nice dudes. I hope I can find em around here...
I did some casting live from Justin.tv with Ninji. We interviewed hot chicks about sexy video game bad guys. Namely, Ninji.

Ninji now has his own Facebook. It's all about cussin out Mario, scopin hot chicks, and getting drunk.

Xmas + Birthday + New Years Update
Posted 14 years agoDespite how asstastic (and yes, asstastic can be bad) 2010 was, Christmas, my birthday, and NYE were awesome. As was the days between.
Christmas Eve I worked the door at the titty bar. It was fun to get dressed up like Mrs Claus now that I have white hairs. We had a few weirdos, but overall it was a fun night. My bar fambly is awesome like that. I made 3 kinds of brownies, and we pigged out.
I spent Christmas Day with one of my closest local friends and her family. We used to manage a store together. I love those guys. Her teenage daughters and I goof out on anime and makeup, and the little ones are just fun as hell to play with. Lots of nomming and laughing. It was awesome.
My birthday was awesome. My wifey/ bought me sushi, and when we got to the bar, my boss and his girlfriend who works with us had a bottle of Moet ready for me, a gorgeous Jets jacket in a really beautiful box, balloons that went all the way to the ceiling, and a cake shaped like a kitty! Then wifey and Hazel (waitress/dancer/bartender/previously mentioned boss's gf) took me to Fairvilla and I got a really smexy gown to wear at work and a dress for New Years, and they got me a silly birthday tiara to wear on stage. All the dancers that I'm pals with had customers tipping me on stage, and just being there and hanging out with me. There was a lot of love from my coworkers in general... which is normal there but it really made me misty eyed on my birthday.
The day after was my usual work day at the bar, and it was still fun. Lots of folks still showin the birthday and holiday love LOL.
Spent a few days lazing around with friends, goin to the beach and stuff. Then the 30th was the Dead Kennedys concert. Wifey got me a ticket and we had a blast. I felt young again LOL... except it was an All Ages show. 10 year olds tend to be buzz kills when yer jonesin on the mosh pit and booze. LOL!
New Years was glorious. I was all elegant and snazzy in a Little Black Dress, and my white hair was a hit. We had an amazing party at the bar, that was catered towards swingers. Fun times. Lots of bubbly and prizes and noise makers.
Life is good right now, despite hardships. 2011 might just be win.

Posted 15 years agoThe Cub Porn Thing...
Posted 15 years agoYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
*cough*
No, really. I understand the whole BAWW ITS MY KINK thing. And as a Pro Domme I've met a ton adult babies so kinda understand PART of the idea behind it but... No. No no. babies =/= sexxin. This is a major reason why I don't take adult babies on as clients (also, poo.). I have no qualms with those who enjoy the care-free aspect of baby characters/RP... but as soon as it becomes PG13 I bail out.
I understand why FA is doing this. AlertPay "lost" some of my money once and I've blacklisted them ever since. IMHO I would have loved to have seen FA nuke the baby porno stuff because ITS CREEPY but hey...
And the whole BAWW MY RIGHTS thing? It's just a website, kids. And it's not yours. So instead of BAWWWWWing, go make your own. then you can upload babies being stabbed with giant cocks in the most unnatural, anatomically impossible ways to your crazy little hearts desires. And you can get a great education as to why running a site like this is so HARD and sometimes you have to do what is best for the site, not for a portion of the site-goers.

Sketchinnnnnsssss o/`
Posted 15 years agoYeah, I'm sketchin! It's Gods awful but I'm trying.
The idea is for my otter character, Butler. She runs a Raw Bar & Grill. It has an inside eatery, and a pool area in the back. The two sides share one bar. In this image, you are seeing through the bar's opening to the pool area. You see the bartender making a drink. Butler and Timbon are floating at the bar, drinking and eating sushi. There are some furs in the pool, in tubes, swimming, diving. A few other furs are on deck chairs, sunbathing. I have yet to pick who the others are yet. I hope it turns out ok. If not, I could maybe try to commission it from someone lol.

Maybe tall and wiry. Heh! I dunno if she's 100% baldcat. It seems like she might get shaved slightly? Maybe she's a mutt... but baldcat FTW!
