Bluesky
General | Posted 2 years agoHey, All! Please join my Bluesky! It's my new one stop shop for ALL of my artwork. Def a big jump from hiding all my NSFW art on FA. It's a little intimidating to be all open about it, but luckily anyone I'm worried about has zero concept of what Bluesky is! Phew!
Anyways, please support me there as it is an easier channel for me to communicate through. I will always post here was well!

Life Is Happening!
General | Posted 4 years agoHey, All! ShellyPhish, here!
I just wanted to update those who follow me exclusively here! :D I just found out I'm going to be a mama!
The last month has basically been radio silence due to having to drop my medications and kind of adjust to life without them (I have ADHD, Depression, and Anxiety). It hasn't been as bad as I expected (beside this all day morning sickness).
One unfortunate side effect, it seems, is that the lack of focus has been extreme. I have only sketched one picture in the last month and haven't even turned my computer on. It's been hard, since I was streaming on the regular to combat a lot of of issues. That being said, I am still open for commissions and ask anyone who does to please have patience. Some days I feel like a superhero, some days I can't get out of bed. I'm hoping once I'm out of my first trimester that things will get better!
Anyways, thanks for sticking around. Hopefully updates will continue soon! We can't wait to welcome our little Bun-Bun into the world! <3

Art Thief Story: Continued From TikTok
General | Posted 4 years agoI had a few people asking details about this story so I'm going to flesh it out slightly more here, 60 seconds on TikTok is not enough.
Long story short, there was another artist here on FA that I followed almost since the beginning. I have since unfollowed them, and will not put their user name down because quite frankly I don't want them to get anymore traffic to their page than they already have.
This user posted that they were fed up with their art style. They didn't like it, it was missing SOMETHING and they felt like this was the key to them becoming a much more successful artist. They made this long post begging other users to give their honest opinion. If there was something genuine she felt could help her, she PROMISED in return to give this artist a shoutout and feature some of their art to boost them.
This artist, last I checked, was tipping just over 26k followers here on FA alone. This person ONLY did adopts and a commission once in a while. I watched them come out with 3 total different outlines over the course of a year, fill different colors, sell them for over $100 a piece easily, and they made a decent living doing so. I am happy they found their niche, and yes this sounds salty...because it is.
They had 26k followers, AND a dream career. And I just so happened to have spotted something about their style that was easy to change and I felt would bring a much-needed lift to their work. Basically, this person colored in nothing but neural earth tones and black. I typed out this huge comment, gave her my entire coloring process.
There were 4 comments total, the other 3 were one-sentence suggestions that were not helpful in my eyes as an artist. So usually I would never accuse another artist of theft, but it was like...OBVIOUS this person took my advice and literally ran with it.
I checked back on the post, no replies. A few hours later, the ENTIRE post is deleted and gone forever. I never got credit, I never got my shout-out. The disturbing part is very quickly after, I noticed a huge change in this artist's color style. IT WAS MY COLORING STYLE 100%.
I went onto their profile, no new journals or posts on their social media. Just a bunch of "OMG, your NEW color style is so goooooooood" and her just all smiles like :D THANKS.
Sorry, saltiness getting to me again.
I have like...28 followers here on FA. I have under 2k on TikTok, I pump work out of my ass as much as possible, and try to help other artists. So...yes I am angry when an an artist whom is making a living takes my advice and then just ghosts me.
In my TikTok I question whether this person might have been worried about me stealing customers? That's the only logic I can think of? Why delete the post? Why act like the convo never took place? I didn't bother writing, because it's easy enough to deny. I didn't take screenshots because I didn't think I would need to.
So, if this person EVER manages to read this post...seriously wtf? Were you worried that I'd jack some of your clients? I don't get it, and frankly don't have the energy to try to understand. Silly me, for thinking someone that is making a living off of this stuff might help a smaller artist out if it actually benefitted this person. Which it did...they are still using my methods and have upped their prices since last checking.
All I ask, is that if you, or anyone you know genuinely likes my content please send them my way. Don't make promises you can't keep, and beyond all else, credit your FUCKING ARTIST!

:3 Going Out Of Town!
General | Posted 5 years agoHey, All!
I'll be going through some recalibration training for about a week at my IRL job. :( Yuck.
After that, I'll be gone for roughly 2 weeks for some travel! I'll be celebrating my Dirty 30 with my childhood best friend, so we'll see if I come home with any interesting stories or new picture ideas. Basically, I'm going off-grid and unplugging completely. I'll still try to upload any artwork that I manage to pump out before then. ;3
I'm making a gothy black cheesecake (charcoal powder) with some red berry filling, and I can't wait to see the look on all the kid's faces when we get to dig in! :D I'm contemplating drawing the damn cake, we'll see. My friend is planning on ramming one huge black candle into the middle of the cake and calling it good!
This is my favorite time of the year! I hope you all have a great holiday, and happy Fall!

ShellyPhish Intro
General | Posted 5 years agoHey, all! ShellyPhish here!
I finally figured out how to write journal entries so why not add one?
Just to give you a little intro, I started off how a lot of kids do, drawing stick figures on the wall (don't do that). I drew as much as I could as a way to escape and it flourished into something pretty cool as an adult.
I have always enjoyed character drawing and ended up going to school and getting my associate degree in graphic design. I realized I didn't want to be a graphic designer on the last day of my externship. :'D
Graphic design is great, but it's just not me. It felt corporate, mechanical, and too boxed in. I didn't feel like I had any creative freedoms and by the end of my externship, I was doubting my skills as a designer and an artist. The graphic design market was highly competitive (more like cutthroat) and oversaturated. To boot, after I graduated, I found out that on top of graphic design skills you have to be skilled in several different platforms for web design. Again, it's not that I can't do it all to a degree, but it brings me zero joy.
After not being able to get a job in my field I've been living life and working different customer service jobs. That basically fast forwards us to today.
I was befriended by Lysette and Juindalo and finally joined FA after hearing about it from another friend for years. I've drawn anthro stuff forever and apparently was an ignorant closet furry.
I draw a webcomic called 'Elliot's Journal' that is being hosted on Webtoons (like, subscribe, and rate 10 stars...excuse my shameless self-promotion). I started that like a year and a half ago and sank my soul into it. It didn't pan out like I had hoped, so that is why I am super happy to have discovered this community.
I had always wanted to be a commission artist and I feel like FA is right up my ally. I even started a second comic I'm hosting on FA exclusively for now. Go check that out as well (Lucky 13 in my gallery).
Anyway, I think that's good for now! I'll be posting more later! It's really nice to have met everyone so far and I look forward to seeing what projects I can come up with in the future.
I won't be posting art for at least the next week. :'(
My tablet pen fell onto a PILLOW today and hit just so precisely as to permanently destroy the pressure sensor on the inside (sad artist noises). So instead of wasting more money on a new pen for a tablet that I didn't love in the first place, I'm going to be investing in a new one. I have to wait until payday and bill budgeting, but hopefully I'll have enough left over to get something decent. I will be optimistic! :D If not I have an older tablet I can dig out of my closet. Wish me luck!
