Tax legislation update
Posted a year agoDear people.
I've been taking art commission since 2010 as a side job while I was working and I was studying. Lots of you know how much time and effort I put in my work, since drawing is one of my favourite activities and a great passion.
Unfortunately, due to a new legislation in Italy (the Country I live in) and in the whole EU, it will be much harder for me to take commission, even if they're occasional.
I won't spend more words about the legislation itself, but if you want infos about it, you can read more here https://x.com/CaveHades/status/1753.....230383307?s=20
I left my old job recently, because I will graduate next month and I'm planning to find a new job as employee from march. For my country, having a job as an employee means that you can't have any kind of extra compensation outside that job. I should be forced to open a VAT account and I couldn't afford it, due to the occasional nature of my commissions and the high taxation in my country (22%, the highest in Europe). The financial advisors say that I should quit my drawing activity, because opening a VAT account would take my earnings to negative.
Given this situation, I absolutely don't know how to deal with this chaos. I'm looking for a legal solution to face this new set-up. Since that, I will be forced to reduce the amount of commissions and find other ways to get payments.
I will contact all the people that recently asked me for a commission to discuss about this in the next days.
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience, I hope this won't be the end of my drawing activity.

May Updates
Posted 4 years agoIt's been so long since I didn't post a journal here, so I'm going to update my beloved people about what's going on in my life.

Sadly, we only make streamings in Italian. But if you think that the language is not a big barrier, you can find us there drawing every Thursday at 21.30! If you come to say "Hi!", I'll try to welcome you with my bad english pronunciation ♥
I have a long queue I'm trying to shorten soon, but if you want a commission (and you don't have deadlines), feel free to ask!
1. Twitch drawing streamings at https://www.twitch.tv/bruhsauro
I worked for a while on this idea, but I finally opened my Twitch channel where I draw with my friend

2. Still open for commission, but working with a long queue
I know I'm not posting a lot recently, but I have a big anxiety about showing my works online. Still, I'm going to upload some arrear in these days.I have a long queue I'm trying to shorten soon, but if you want a commission (and you don't have deadlines), feel free to ask!
3. More active on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/silenthowl.art/
I'm not a social network lover, but recently I find myself more comfortable with Instagram, where I can see my favourite artists at work. I'm posting there all my sfw drawings and sometimes you'll find some stories about art I love.4. Now working with iPad Pro!
I admit I wanted to work with it since its first release, but money was a big hindrance. But after years of saving, I bought it on November 2020 and found the right way to use it only recently. I won't abandon my awesome Huion Tablet, but I'll use mostly the iPad now. So I can also work at 100% when I'm not at home ♥Instagram

Pricelist Changed + Streaming Announcement
Posted 7 years agoHello guys, sorry for keeping silent in these times (well, being honest what you'd expect from an artist that is called SilentHowl?) but university and personal life kept me away from you all (I'm right now the mother of a little Harrys's hawk that is super cute and super needy).
As the title, I finally put online my new pricelist that you can find here. As you see there are many more options and more clearness so you can already know what you would pay for your personal idea before buying the commission.
Plus to this I will soon announce the dates of a new streams session on Twitch in which I will do art about the recently announced Cyberpunk 2077 and... dinosaurs! Cause you know... Jurassic World is out right now and I love dinosaurs (as you all too, I hope).
All the commission will be taken on stream with a very discounted price so let's check on my FurAffinity page to get more information and to know when the stream will start.
See you soon.

End of February Announcement - CHANGING PRICES
Posted 7 years agoWell guys, as you noticed, we're already at the 20th of the month and no Carnival YCH has been delivered.
I'm so sorry and I apologize for this, but don't worry: the project wasn't abandoned but changed in a more customizable series of YCH (without any bid) so everyone will soon be able to get one of them!
Further, from March on my life will change a little. So, due to the new challenges that I'll have to face, I will change my commission prices list to guarantee the right amount of time and care to every piece you will buy from me.
This means that from now until the 1st of March my prices are freezed, so it's your last chance to buy something from me at the actual conditions.
This change will surely lead me to become the richest person in the entire world, so help me to reach (and share with me) the Glory! >:3

for this month I'm gonna make a double special event related to S. Valentine and the Italian Carnival.
So from now until the 13th of February I'm gonna take discounted commissions for 2+ characters illustrations that are related with the event (or just with the love topic).
The prices will be:
-2 characters Digital Drawing €50 (instead of €60)
-2 characters NSFW Digital Drawing €60 (instead of €70)
Plus you can even add a third character to the illustration for just €20 more.
All the illustration will come with a one color background, the prices of backgrounds has changed and they are from now on €10 for Simple Background and €25 for Elaborated Background.
But(t) there is more!
Due to the proxymity of the Italian Carnivals (as well the most famous of them all, the Venetian Carnivals) I'm going to make a very special NSFW YCH auction with 3 slots! That will be your chance to fell the true charm and the erotism of the more occult face of Italian Festivities.
All the prices and info will comes up as I'll post the YCH Bid's Opening that will comes out soon in these days, so be sure to check out my newest submissions everyday and give a watch to the page.
Happy Valentine and Happy Carneval to all, see ya!

COMMISSION INFO - All you have to know about
Posted 10 years agoAre you open for commissions?
You can clearly see my commission status in my profile info.
If that says “Open!”, you can contact me and ask for a commission.
Notice that being open doesn’t mean I have time to work right now.
If I have a lot of work in my list, I could ask you to wait for a bit, or to
ask again later. In any case, I will tell you if I’m available or not.
How to commission me.
Just send a note here or on my FB page with a clear and
detailed description of your drawing idea. I will reply as soon
as I can, telling you the price.
Did you see my prices? Click here --> ♥
How do I work.
Actually, University is a big obstacle I have to face every day. So,
you will often find me taking time to study and keep up to date with
my school notes. Therefore, this will be my first thought. I will work
only when my homework is done. I don’t work on weekends.
About deadlines.
I usually don't work with deadlines. So, if you need a drawing very fast and
I'm too busy, I will probably refuse your request. Also, for really near deadlines,
I could ask for an extra fee.
What I like to draw.
SFW things
Feral (only SFW)
Artistic nude
Vanilla stuff
BDSM
Gore
What I don’t draw (it means: PLS, NOPE).
Absorption
Anal vore
Diaper
Inflation
Scat/vomit/piss related
Pedophilia/cub
Unbirthing
Watersports
Zoophilia
I WILL draw all the not-listed things (but the liked ones are my own
preferred and maybe the ones I will draw better). Do you want something
but you’re not sure if I would draw it? Ask me!
If you ask for something, I can refuse anyway if I feel that the theme is too
heavy for me. I will try to satisfy you anyway, suggesting a good alternative.
Please, don’t ask me to draw something impossible for my drawing skills.
I know that most of you like Blotch’s and Miles’ style, but please, notice that
I’m at an EXTREMELY LOWER level, so don’t pretend too much from me.
Streaming?
Yes, sometimes. I will not get commission during the streaming, but I will work
on them and you can bump in the chat and make a talk with me.
This is my channel: https://picarto.tv/Silenthowl .
Terms of Service.
By commissioning a drawing you are restricted to these simple terms, to make
a clear agreement and not to have misunderstandings.
WHEN YOU COMMISSION A DRAWING:
• I accept only Paypal payments.
• I need the entire payment before starting the drawing.
• I will not give any refund.
• You will give me clear and detailed descriptions of what you want
(references are well accepted!). If not, you're not allowed to complain about the result.
• I will show you the sketch before finishing the work. You can ask for simple modifies
for free (in the limits), but I will not redo entire parts of the drawing without
asking for a supplement.
• I am allowed to share your commission on my galleries (FA, DA, FB, Tumblr, etc.).
• You are allowed to use your drawing everywhere you want, also on FA (credits
are required).
IF THE DRAWING IS NOT YOURS:
• You can repost it on forums, chats, tumbr, social networks and whatever you
want, ONLY if you put CREDITS and a LINK to my gallery.
• If the drawing is a commission and the character illustrated belongs to someone else,
you CAN'T use it.
• You can't use my drawings pretending you own the characters. Also, RP is NOT
allowed with my characters.
• You're NOT allowed to modify it, pass it as yours, cut the signature.
If I'll find any repost that I don't want to see, I'll be allowed to ask you to delete the submission.Graduated and free
Posted 10 years agoYay!
I finally got my school-leaving qualification and I'm ready to live my holidays!
I'm also trying to enter in some university of psychology to be sure about my future.
This summer will be very very full for me. I will go to the seaside with my friends for a week, then in Austria with my family, and later to EF21 in Berlin. Who is going there, too? Can't wait!
I also will work on some project, like my new fursuit (4 days to finish it, nngh), my comic and random commissions until october.
Maybe in september, I will open ONE slot for ONE canid realistic fursuit. But I will let you know more about this later.
Hope you will also have good holidays!

Back! + commissions status info
Posted 11 years agoHeya guys, I'm back!
Maybe you found a lot of notifications of my comment replies. Nothing strange, it's just me, coming again from the darkness, and reading all the notifications left behind xD
First, thank you for all the new watchers! I would like to say "thank you" to each one, but you're really a lot this time. I like to see all this support.
Then, I would like to say something about my commissions status.
I finished a lot of work with fursuits this week. This year, I will study for some exams I'll attend from may to july. It will be a long and difficult year of study, so I decided to stop my work with my actual fursuit commission queue. I'll finish the two left fursuits after my exams, when my mind will be clear.
But! I will not stop my work with drawing commissions. Maybe I will not reopen them, but probably I will work for you doing some ychs, auctions, icons, and similar things (also adult ones? We will see).
I will also do some streaming from here on. I appreciate if you pop in the chat and say "hi" ^^
It's all for now.
See ya ^^

EF 2014, holidays and stuff!
Posted 11 years agoIt's been too long from the last time I wrote here, isn't it?
Let's tidy up.
About EF
Oh yeah, I'll be there wearing a policewoman Abbey. I want to meet all of you, so don't feel ashamed to stop me and talk a little. I will be there to have fun and meet people :)
Holidays
On the 22th July I will leave for the seaside, and other little holidays. I will stop for a month my activity with fursuits, but I'll keep on drawing my last commissions.
About the comic
I promised some months ago that I would have started publish my comic. Unfortunately, I had a lot of problems and I needed money, so I had to reopen my commissions, working hard to afford costs.
This will be a very hard year. I have to finish my studies on my own, with home school, and I'll have short time for fursuits and drawings. I think that my comic will be published the next year, a page a week. Hope to make true this dream. I really need it.
