Life Update

Me an my partner Echo need YOUR help to raise a total of 300,000 USD in ten years time so that we can make my dream of owning a Ferrari a reality, though it is feasible without I am extend a formal offering for you to help speed up this process. I am humbly grateful that me and my partner are going for such a prestigious and seemingly impossible goal. My Goal is to own the car not only because it's a dream, but as inspiration for others that you can achieve anything you set your mind to, and as proof as a success story. After me and my partner start living together when I move to the US come next year, I will be starting to actually be putting away everything I do not need to spend on things towards the dream. I have had this dream for 12 years now (since I was very young) to own a Ferrari, and I've driven just about ever make (Ferrari, Maserati, Maybach etc.) out there except Pagani, and Bugatti, and Had decided to settle on my dream car. I am open to commission for 50% of commission prices (look in my journals) for all commissions. Feel free to also spread this journal if you think it'll help. All Commissions go directly to a car fund account through a bank towards my dream car, and All donations are appreciated greatly. If you contribute 50$ or more towards my cause as a donation, you will get some free artwork.

Art Update
As of late since I have been getting into my art again I have decided to start drawing my characters so for the moment I am actually drawing my characters that have absolutely no art of them, Katherine specifically. So right now I'll be working on a picture of them while I await Commission Confirmations for my ToS and Privacy Policy. And this way I can also bring you a completed image along with the progression.

Meanwhile I am also working on a project for an Anthropomorphic Snow Leopard for my partner Echo, and a Anthro German Shepherd for myself, mostly for fursuiting purposes and such but still. It'll be fun.

As of late I managed to get a older (non gaming) desktop working on my art. So I'll be using that. Anyways, on another note I have quite a few Projects for that I will be doing, and I finished Drafting one and I'm going to start drafting a second one. I hope To at least have fifty pieces (I'm waiting on the 15 ideas for that to add to the 35 I've come up with). I'm not doing them in any specific order. Just what I feel like doing. It's my gift to them for being a good friend and a shoulder to cry on if I needed to. I would expect a mass of art to be posted in my gallery even though they are WIPs but the image will be updated as I finish them. Keep an eye on that and if you'd like others to find my art please, do link people to it.

I hope you enjoy it all~!

As of a week or so ago I cannot actually draw, I know I have owed art to everyone and I haven't been online (since I've been traveling a lot with no data service. But a week or so ago I went to start drawing a commissioned piece for the Element company on a deck design but I had to call them them regrettably and cancel this, because Now my Tablet's drivers are no longer 'compatible' with any of my computers, being as they are out of date, other than my two gaming computers (One Laptop by ASUS the other a Desktop with a Custom Shell by ASUS and with 100% custom Parts totaling fifty grand), which I refuse to use for art for many reasons that I don't want to share. I won't be able to draw due to this incredibly unprecedented and unpredictable error. I already know that I needed a personal computer update for some two years and kept putting it off again and again, and finally I am being forced to. As I do not have the finances at this time for a new computer, my heart is heavy with this update and I do apologize but my art is at a complete standstill indefinitely until later posted. Though I do have art of my dragon that I'd LOVE to have done, and if any of you want to help me draw any of these please, do send a message on my telegram or Twitter, @ShotoHasu.

I do formally apologize to everyone. If you'd like to help me get my art back and running, I will leave donations open on PayPal at the following Email - ShotoHasu@gmail.com. Any amount helps in the effort, but my goal is 950 USD.

Any of the Following art I would appreciate, it's a long list but if there is any questions, please do ask my via notes.

On another note I need Ideas to do for some YCH art. Most of these ideas need to be simple, and able to be done within a fairly quick manner. I want to be able to post these by next week. I do have to be able to have some like busts or like a theme (Halloween / Christmas, etc.). I really would like to get the ball rolling on top of other art like the badges so that I can continually run art out on a regular basis.

So if you have ideas that consider things like the list that follows comment below.
- Holiday Themes
- Species Specific Themes
- Expression Ideas (USed for any species)
- Pose Ideas (for Waist Ups)
- NSFW Ideas (Busts and Waists Ups)
- SFW Badge Ideas
- NSFW Badge Ideas
- SFW Anthro Pin-up Poses (Clothed Female or male)
- NSFW Male Anthro Pin Up Poses

Note: I don't draw Fan Art unless it's manga related.

Secondly, I need some stuff for bigger projects, like bigger nsfw pictures that take longer. If I pick your idea and really you habe a chance for one of your characters put into the image idea! And if you can could you give a shout out for this, not necessary but you'd be helping me. And I'd also like more watchers too~!

Won't be on for much from here on due to ISP issues so if you contact me I won't see it. Sorry for the inconvenience. Meanwhile I will continue working on my projects and I hope you all can forgive me for this sudden ad rather annoying issue. I will be back around once this critical issue is dealt with.

The manager of the hotel I'm staying at to go to Eurofurance this year gave me two free days. Well isn't that a surprise? I get to bring a good friend I met originally at Kemocon 3 with me and their so stoked.

~Badge Winners~
Those of who I have declared winners have 48 hours to determine if they'd like the badge laminated and shipped to them. I would also like to congratulate them on their win. And Thank everyone who participated by placing entries a big thank you for show such interesting characters! I really can't say thanks enough for the opportunity to work on such unique and spcial characters. I hope that you will all stick around even after for other art that I will be posting in the future as well as for any fututre giveaways! Thanks again.
