Hi everyone! Well guys, thanks to all the favourites on the picture below

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17885369/

We've raised £52 for Children in Need! It may not sound like much, but that makes a big difference :D

Thank you everyone, it means so much to me and even more to those CiN helps! :D

It's probably not available in most other territories if you don't live in the UK or Ireland but it's showing now on BBC 1 :meow:

I've sent the money off now! It's a great honour to be a part of something so big! x3

Hopefully next year I'll do something similar; let's set the goal for £100 then!
But, hey, if we're doing that I'm going to need a Patreon or something again lol

The only unfortunate thing is, of course, now that that the money is away, any favourites from here-on-in will now not be counted into the final amount; but for all those who contributed, another big thank you!! :D

A P P E A R A N C E
> species: wolf
> race: with Shivu I'm never sure; I'm Northern Irish but as for Shivu both aspects of him (his feral and anthro selves) come from a un-named country because I don't like to set him to one particular place :P It's more fun to be like "we work in pounds instead of dollars, but we have earthquakes and stuff :3
> height: hmmm... 5'7? Not overly tall but not the shortest either
> weight: Probably the same as me 8 1/2 stone :3
> body build: I guess skinny? Not muscular anyway XD
> complexion: Well, he has fur? ARE WE TALKING MY APPEARENCE OR SHIVU'S?? FUCK
> scars/birthmarks: DAMN IT IS ME! OMG Screw that, I'm not going back and fixing all that lol Okay for me... I have a fuck load of scars, mostly on my extremities; they're not from self-harm but I am very clumsy with knives and general sharp objects XD My left hand has scars on almost every finger :P But since I've got older I've found I rarely scar now; granted I haven't had so many major accidents but I have had some and within a few weeks there's no sign I ever had it XD (I'MTURNINGINTOAWEREWOLF)
> hair color: Dark brown with blonde highlights in my fringe
> hair style: It varies; I had it just short with a side-fringe and now it's proper short with just a straight fringe. I don't like this as much but it is much more manageable, especially as it grows so fast (werewolfguysyooo)
> glasses: Yeah- but I normally wear contact lenses instead
> typical clothing: Generally I wear just a shirt and jeans, along with a jumper, scarf and gloves if it's really cold. My favourite clothes consist of what anthro-Shivu wears so a white shirt with a red plaid one over that and demin jeans :P
> jewelry: I admit I do love jewelry XD Not fancy stuff like but necklaces and stuff; I have a variety of necklaces with wolves on them, one with hematite one with a wolf's tooth and another with an owl and so on; there's a market that comes to our main town every spring and Christmas that has a Native-American stall. I make it my mission to visit it each year and buy new necklaces and stuff XD

Okay guys I am so sorry! I've really been neglecting here (2 YEARS MY FRIENDS!!)
I've been waaay more active on deviantART (which I remind you all is Sooty123 just sayin') but apart from that real life has been getting in the way (stupid life)
But now I've decided I really need to take this thing seriously; and what my apologies are for is mainly for missing out on all your wonderful art!

I still need to comment and fav on a few particular pieces but understand that I have seen them and I love them! Just because I haven't made that clear by clicking a few keys and buttons means nothing :P

Today I'm trying to update some of my art so you'll see some old and newer pictures being uploaded here- still until I get our scanner fixed there won't be any "new" art :P

See you all soon! :D

Okay, okay... I'm still getting used to FA, it's not entirely the same as DA, and it confuses me.

So, I was trying to go through submissions and fave all the most recent ones, and I actually ended up faving nearly all of Dafodil's stuff- sorry, dude!

That, and, I gave up on submissions after that xD

So, I left a few comments, deleted all the others ones so sorry for not replying to any.

But from now on I make a Shivu's Promise (unbroken since 2011) that I will- WILL- *pause for dramatic effect* come on every time I log into dA and check my furaffinity! *cheering*

BAHA! AND I WILL TOO, OR MY NAME ISN'T SHIVU!
