I finally hit 1600 watchers here, after a ton of work over the years. 🥳 Thanks everyone for watching me and spreading my name out there.

To celebrate I'm doing a little art raffle, since it's been a while from the last time I did this.
This is for F U N - so if you get upset about not winning, rush me, or complain, you won't be participating in future events and will get blocked. Them's the rules.
Commissions and Patreon projects take priority so be patient, I will announce the winner after a couple weeks up on my page to give everyone a chance to enter- and to finish a couple current projects. ^^'

Comment below with the character of your choice for a chance to win some art.
It might depend on the character, but I'll probably end up doing a pin-up sketch.

--shi


EDIT: Just FYI the raffle is completely random choice-- I don't play faves with these! I forgot to mention it yesterday ♥️

---

the winner is...  KyuuGryph! so I'll post a sketch for ya soon :)


thanks everyone for participating <3

Hey furries!!

I'm almost at 1600 watchers, and I have a little art raffle to do for all my supporters as well (sorry, holiday chaos made me forget Time Itself). Two fun art raffles comin up in January then, it seems!

BTW, Happy new year! It's still like noon here in California but it's fun seeing everyone celebrating around the world. Thank you to all my watchers, commissioners, patrons, and pals on here for making this year a good one. Let's make 2024 even better!

I have even more art coming out the next couple weeks and some commissions still to post (thanks for all your patience btw! I'm really excited to show these) so stay tuned.

Back to work-- I'm drawing up to the last moment of 2023! This year still hasn't beaten me yet and there's art to finish

--shi

I've got some bsky codes to give out if anyone here needs one :>

If you're in Southern California - consider rescuing a rabbit! These cute bunnies will be euthanized if they don't find a home today or tomorrow. Foster or adopt or repost- anything helps!

https://www.seaaca.org/adoptions/view-our-animals/?species=Other&breed=&age=&sex=&city=&impounddate=+-+Impound+Date+%28MM%2FDD%2FYYYY%29+-+

I have a pet rabbit myself (Gandalf) and they are wonderful pets! She free roams my apartment and just sleeps all the time and is so sweet. Best pet I've ever had- and I've kept a lot of critters!

Please please signal boost to give them their best chance at finding a home today. ❤️❤️❤️ Show them to your friends- If they adopt one (or two! Buns are great as a bonded pair) you'll get to see cute bunny pics on your feed all the time as a bonus lol

--shi

edit: #34 & #81 are still needing rescue!

So.... we haven't sold even one single sticker... I realize that these things take time. But it's been very discouraging for a while tbh :( I put effort and think they're cute and fun- and they're physically sturdy/resilient to the elements, we print them and cut them at home and test them on cars, skateboards, water flasks, etc. which have stayed for months now. And I've seen ones that are way less cute or zero effort and easily torn with hundreds of sales and the same price as ours. Obviously we are doing something very wrong but idk what. I post new stickers on here and twitter/bsky when I make more designs, and it maybe gives a small spike in page views but that's it. It might help to get some pointers from others who make or buy stickers- any advice? I thought this would be kinda a piece of cake and help to pay for the kitten spay but so far we've just sunk money into it for nothing :( I don't want to give up tho.

Here's the store: https://ko-fi.com/pawprintsstickers

Hey furries!

Thanks for all the new faves/watches!
I've been drawing a LOT but because of my wacked up schedule lately and switching between 2 computers all the time (and an ipad if I'm not at home) and having an actual practice schedule now etc all that has made it kinda hard to upload things in a timely manner. So long story short I'm purposefully setting aside some time more regularly like at least weekly to check in online and make sure things are in order around here. I'll also be home for the rest of the week/weekend getting all that stuff uploaded to here, and a bunch for Patreon, as well as sending some commission WIPs that have been floating around in limbo. ^^'

I hope you're all doing well! I keep wanting to be more social on here, but it's tough for me to reach out to people without feeling annoying. Maybe focusing more on worldbuilding and characters again could help with that. I've been posting little bits and pieces but I'll try to share more and let people in more easily than in the past. I love to see all of your designs and worlds too! Some of you who follow me have the most intricate stories, I am inspired so much.

Stay tuned for holiday treats~

quick edit- looks like I'm home all this week too, so I'll have more time to draw furries yay
Sorry for delays on WIPs, I keep getting set back >.< but I've been drawing all day every day, trying to wrap it all up in the next few days

I think I forgot to show you guys some pics of the kitten my roommate got from an unhoused man a while ago?

Her name is Abaddon the Despoiler (aka Baby Abby) & she craves violence.

Here she be --> https://ko-fi.com/i/IV7V2QYQVU <-- (there's other pics of her on the Ko-fi too & we'll post more there soon)

If you'd like to help support her, the money from that Ko-fi shop will be going to getting her all the things she needs. She's been to the vet to get basic shots and de-wormed and it's about time to get her spayed and micro-chipped, this is her forever home now. Even a couple bucks helps and we also have some fun and cute stickers to send you in the mail~


-- shi

I want to try some cool species or unique characters, if you have an OC you'd like drawn I'll do a PWYW (Pay What You Want) sketched headshot for you, anywhere from $10 up. More $ more time and detail obv. I've been in a big financial pit and anything would help, especially since I'll need to be buying ink and supplies soon. I don't like asking for help but I would truly appreciate it rn. Comment or note me, I'll reply ASAP.

Thanks for reading~

Hello new and old friends here ^^

Sorry for the art dump, I'm trying to space it out a bit so it's not all at once. A lot of these are going into my scraps tab which I'm trying to use more for doodles/WIPs and such. There are a lot of sketches from my Patreon the past few months that have been neglected, and I'm getting my shit together as they say. Thanks for all the faves!!

If you like cute colorful stuff, you'll love these stickers I drew! I've been adding new ones on little breaks in between working on other projects. Please check out the shop and maybe give us a follow- it would mean the world to me and take just a moment. My roommate and I have worked really hard to make this little shop a reality, and our sticker machine is getting dusty from no orders yet :(

We're also doing a free sticker giveaway on Twitter/Buesky when either one hits 500 followers!

We're trying to bring just a bit more color and fun into the world.

Anyway, back to work-- I have a few things to finish tonight for Patreon/comms that are lagging still :) Sorry for drawing so slow, I switched up my whole drawing setup and can't believe how much better it feels to draw now, way less shoulder and wrist pain than before. All that wasted time I spent drawing like a hunchback smh. Gotta learn to work smart not hard, derp.

--shi


(BTW unrelated but I have more Bluesky codes, just let me know if you'd like one)

I got caught up in tattoo shop stuff & some lame imposter syndrome feelings and let time slip away from me a bit here (idk if that's art block or new job nerves or what but everything I was drawing just sucked). My B dudes, that's my fault. Right now working on getting back on the rails with furry artworks. :) As always, best place to reach me is here if you wanna give a boop for updates -- however I'm currently in the process of un-fucking my queue rn anyway so you'll most likely be getting an update or finished work sometime this week if you have a commission or Patreon reward on my list. Hang tight! >.<'

Otherwise-- the artists are mellow, the other apprentices are nice, & other than my brain being a dick everything is going smoothly with that.

Hello friends!

If you weren't already aware, I have a Ko-fi shop where I sell cute stickers sometimes with my roommate. Recently my roommate rescued a tiny little kitten from the streets. Her name is Abby and she needs to be spayed (but otherwise is healthy), so this sticker was made to raise some money to get her surgery done asap. It would really mean a lot to us if you would take a look and maybe even forward it to any friends who like cats or stickers- anything would help a ton to reach our goal!

Here is where you can buy this physical sticker for yourself: > https://ko-fi.com/s/ede52d5eb1 <
Feel free to check out the rest of the store as well.

Thanks so much for looking, I know this isn't my usual kind of post here ^^'
Have a spooky Halloween! (Maybe grab a sticker or two for your friends' trick-or-treat bag!)

I'll be sending out WIPs/finished works for all commissions in the queue this week- thanks for all your patience!

edit 9/7: still zoomin thru these :)) trying to not let perfectionist habits slow me too much
edit 9/12: just a couple left to get updated, currently working thru some chronic pain issues flaring up again but that's life sometimes. I'm determined to get these all updated and finished asap!


--shi

My roommate & I have a fun little sticker/gifts shop we're trying to get started up all on our own, it would mean so much if you'd follow us on Ko-fi and maybe even get a cute sticker! We'll be doing scheduled weekly streams soon where you can hang out, watch stickers being drawn, and even submit ideas for new sticker designs~

The storm turned out not so bad here! We had to do a lot of prep just in case bc our laundry room floods sometimes, and help out with relatives too, but it pretty much just rained a lot and got windy for a few hours.

I'm still working on clearing the queue but now that I've got a few IRL things out of the way during the storm prep, I can focus more this week on finishing current projects that have been lagging. See ya all later after a drawing spree~ :)

Hello everyone :)

My roommate and I weren't having any luck on Etsy, so we've moved our shop to Ko-fi. We are adding more stickers and fun stuff to our shop too, so please follow us over there if you'd like to be updated. We even have a monthly Stickers Club on there, so you can get two copies of a brand new sticker mailed to you each month- cool!

We design our stickers ourselves, and we carefully print and cut them ourselves too! Every sticker we create is made with all our care and passion for color and fun.
Never A.I. generated art, just pure human creativity and a love for what we do.

sorry to those waiting on updates-- I'm in tornado-mode trying to get everything done and struggling to keep my bills paid too, but I won't give up. I'm getting some large/older projects off my queue right now so once that is out of the way I only have a couple projects left to work thru. ^^ Thanks everyone for your patience~
I know I need to do much better in regards to GETTING THINGS DONE ALREADY lol so I appreciate so much that no one's been impatient at all or anything, and thank you so much for giving a gentle poke when time slips away from me. <3 I will keep working even harder to ensure the best quality in every piece and ensure things are right no matter what.

I've added a special deal to my Pin Up Pose YCHs - Now you can add a nature themed background for just $20. That makes the total only $70 for a unique custom made pin up illustration of your lovely OC!

Check the link below for available poses & examples of finished pin-ups:

> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50051334/ <

Please let me know if you have any questions!

My art is always drawn with time and care by hand (never AI!) from sketch to finished piece. Your support means the world to me and allows me to keep creating for all of you! I hope to always keep learning new skills and improving~

💖💖💖

I haven't been having much luck with my YCH (your character here) posts lately, so I thought I'd ask for some inspo from you guys directly.
What do you look for in a YCH if you're the kind to buy those? 🤔

I have lowered two of my other YCHs to just $100 - for FULLY RENDERED ILLUSTRATIONS -- no AI, just human-drawn art taking time and care.

Please check these out, it would help me a lot to sell these ASAP!

Tentacle YCH [NSFW]: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52533317/

Thanks so much for looking <3 The only reason I can keep drawing and posting here is from all your support and I appreciate you all so much

--shi

I've lowered all the prices on this YCH to just $100 a slot (& a couple just $60) -- please check it out. All my YCHs are carefully finished and refined with my best effort and care, you will love the results!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52628431/

I am really in need of some money for bills ASAP. Thanks a lot for looking! I also have other YCHs for good prices as well in my > YCH folder < many are only $50!

Back to work for me, I have some commissions to finish this weekend :)
