Hi! You might have noticed I've been a bit inactive online recently. I'm having internet problems right now, it's a mix of my internet connection being terrible, my area's equipment for internet service being terrible, and also my internet provider not providing the speeds I'm paying for. Right now I am looking into switching to another service provider and seeing what I can do to best optimise my situation. This isn't so much as a problem for those who have contacted me through email about commissions as it is those who have contacted me through FA. I haven't been able to load FA until recently, which is why some of you may not have heard from me!

So basically:
- If you have contacted me through FA and are awaiting a response from me, you should receive a response either today or tomorrow.
- If you have contacted me through email, you've probably heard back from me as I have sent most emails out, if you haven't heard back from me, please email me, my email might not have sent through! I want to make sure everyone has received their commission so please message me if this applies to you! :o

If you haven't heard from me in a while your commission is likely complete and I have not been able to send it to you OR my email has not gone through.

And any new commissioners that have sent an inquiry in the last day or so, I have seen it, and will be getting back to you shortly. :)

Thanks for your patience of those of you this has affected, my internet connection has never been the best and this isn't the first time this has happened, but unfortunately there isn't a whole lot I can do about it. (thanks old australian internet)

Hope you all are doin' great!

[TAKEN Thank you!]
Would anyone be interested in an Icon request? I need some new examples but most of my characters are monsters eheh.

So I'm taking Two Icon Requests, one for two people. They'll be headshot icons that will be done in the same style as I've been doing the Pokemon dailies in.
Style Example: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26243720/
Draft Icon examples: https://i.imgur.com/tjdTi5F.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/QDbMyZR.jpg

All I ask is for a Ko-Fi tip in exchange for an icon ($3) https://ko-fi.com/skelizard
Icons like these in the future will be around $15.

I'm looking for test subjects with ANIMAL (anthro/feral) characters. I'm NOT looking for monsters/creatures (this is only for the requests).
Comment below with a ref of your character and I'll pick 2 that stand out to me. Kind of first-come-first-serve I'm mostly just gonna pick two characters that I think will make good examples. If I pick you I'll reply to your comment and ask for a ko-fi donation and then I'll have your icon completed by today!

Thankyou!

Yo! I get a few tips from so many of you lovely commissioners! Seriously, you don't have to at all, but I appreciate it a whole lot!

And because of that, I decided to open a Ko-Fi Page!. If you would like to tip for a commission, or you can't afford a commission but would like to support me, then Ko-Fi is a good way to do it! It's a little easier for me to track tips this way.

http://ko-fi.com/skelizard

I'll also be taking small requests for Ko-Fi donations! If you would like me to quickly doodle a character from a game/tv show/ect, feel free to let me know in your message! Finished doodles will be posted to my Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram. FA probably in batches.
NOTE: (I will not be doing requests for personal characters for ko-fi donations.) Only existing franchises such as Pokemon, Rayman, Wakfu, Overwatch, ect. I don't really like taking money without giving anything in return so please! Feel free to leave a request!

All ko-fi donations will be going toward improving my equipment and new art supplies.

Again, I thank everyone for your support! It really means a lot to know people like what I do!

Recently made an Instagram to join the art fun over there! It only has a couple posts right now, but I will likely be posting finished work/sketches/WIPs much like my Twitter! So give it a follow!
Mutuals if you got a Insta let me know so I can follow you there!

Thanks for your interest/support, I look forward to working with you!

https://mastodon.art/@Skelizard

It's gonna operate very similarly to my twitter, follow me over there if you want! Still getting used to how Mastadon works, but yep!

Hey!! It's me! Back from the dead? maybe, idk

I want to apologise for not being nearly as active as I usually am over here, I've just been so busy with uni work that I have had barely any time to really do anything more than a few doodles every now or then in my spare time. It also meant that personal projects had to get put on hold, which has been a bit annoying for me 'cuz it only means it'll take even longer to get them done, but whatever. Uni has been super stressful for a number of reasons; it's just been a bit difficult to really manage time over the course of this year.
Now that uni is finishing up though, I'm starting to get my time back to be making some art again, which hopefully means I'll be a lil more active here.

In terms of activity, while I will aim to post at least 1 piece of art here a week, that may not end up being the case. The reason for that is that I keep this place for posting finished pieces of art, and keeping the content relevant to the site. Everything I will be posting will be up later than where you would see it on my Twitter or Tumblr. The reason? Well, mostly because I don't draw anthro animals 24/7, and if it's not animal-like, then I probably won't post it here, mostly because FA can't be the main site I need to be super active on.

So if you do want to see my stuff much more regularly and earlier than what you will see here, I urge you to follow me on Twitter or Tumblr. Twitter is where I am most active nowadays, and is also the best place to get a hold of me.

So yeah, I thought I'd just post a lil bit of an update as to why things are goin' slow here.

Oh ALSO, I WILL be opening up commissions soon as well once I change prices to something more accurate to what I need. I will also be updating what I will be offering, so if there is anything I've done that you might be interested in commissioning me with, let me know in the comments and I will consider it! I'll make a new journal post once they are officially open.

I think that's bout it, hope everyone's een doin' well!

HI SO I HAVEN'T BEEN VERY ACTIVE TOO MUCH LATELY HERE. If ya didn't see my latest submission, the following is just gonna be a copy paste from that, so HERE WE GO:

It's come to my attention that I haven't been terribly as active with uploading stuff here, and that's mainly 'cuz I don't have anything furry/animal related to post!

I've been busy working on two big projects, one is for uni, but the other is something I'm doing in my own spare time. I've been abstaining myself from talking about it too much 'cuz, well, it's gonna take a heck of a long time to finish, it's still early in its development, so it's gonna take ages, but I'm hoping to get as much of it as I can done by the end of this year.

If you wanna see me update more frequently with some more doodles and sketches and stuff, I HIGHLY recommend following me on Twitter or Tumblr, I keep FA for mostly finished work, and most of the finished work I'm doing right now is stuff I can't show!

SO UHM YEAH I guess that was a bit of an update, I'll probably put this in a journal update later.

OH BTW ALSO Commissions are still Open as well! I don't talk bout them too much 'cuz I'm working on things, but they are open indefinitely until I mention otherwise, so feel free to bug me bout that! If there's something not listed there that you'd be interested in, just lemme know!

So YEAH hope everyone's been well, stay chill, and yeah go eat soup or somethin' idk.

It's 2017 which means it's time for more commissions!!

Click here for my prices!

Sped-up process videos of my work. I figure it might be something cool to start doing for the new year. I can't livestream 'cuz my internet is cruddy so it's the next best thing.
Let me know if anyone would be interested in that sort of thing?
I'll probably do it anyway regardless.
Also Christmas is just around the corner, hope everyone enjoys their holidays for those who celebrate and a happy new year!! We've had some hard times in 2016, let's hope 2017 can do better! :)

Aright, commissions are now CLOSED for the rest of the year. Current commissions are being completed as we speak. Thankyou all so much for the interest this year!!

I'll probably reopen sometime in January, with some slight prices changes and a new commission type. :>

Heya guys! I'm participating in Inktober this year, which means I'll be uploading an inked drawing every day of October! I may not necessarily post them all here, but they definitely will be up on my tumblr and twitter. I'm gonna be following this prompt list. Expect a drawing for the first day to be up within the next few hours 'cuz it is the first here in Australia. :)

Commissions are still open and I'll be updating the info sheet on my front page with a new painted icons option soon! Just keep in mind that commissions during October may be done slower than normal as I'm doin this Inktober thing + other commitments.

SORRY I'M NOT VERY TALKATIVE I'm bad at doin this whole journal thing. I've just been drawin' and playin' a lot of overwatch lol.

Check that link for all the info!

Hello!
Yeah so I won't be active on furaffinity for a week, that's because I'm heading over to Queensland tomorrow for the week, looking forward to the nice weather!!
As a result of this, I won't be posting anything to fa during that time, but I will be bringing my sketchbook so I will be doodling. I won't be posting any sketches here, they'll be posted to my twitter and tumblr, so if you wanna keep caught up on those that's where you gotta go! You can find links to them on my profile.

Hey I'm sorry for making the title sound like I'm just gonna repeat myself from my other journal... BUT HEY I revamped my art blog!! It has some pretty big changes to it, for one you can view multiple pieces at once, which gives more of a gallery look to it, annnddd it now has the addition of Disqus! For those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically a commenting system much like here on fA that I've put on my tumblr, so you can leave your comments on each of my posts via that rather than having to shove them in the tags... 'cuz in some cases I may not ever see it! So I'm glad that I have this on there now and it's there if you wish to use it.

Not only that but it has my updated Commission Info over there too, and I'll be linking to over there for my commission info from now on.

For those who don't already know, I am most active over there for art stuff, as well as my Twitter which you'll see below.

And here's the places you can find me:

Tumblr
Twitter
DeviantART



On other notes, sorry I haven't been too active here since the recent attack, my dashboard is just all over the place with old notifications that can't be cleared and stuff. And speaking of this, where are people from this site moving too? I figured it's either Furry Network or Weasyl, but I'm not totally convinced enough to start being active on those sites there yet. But if many people are going to start move over to one of those sites I figured I should too...
For the record, I am NOT leaving FA, but updates will be slow, and delayed compared to that on my Tumblr and Twitter, so just to clarify!

YEAH SO just letting you know you can find me and my art at these places! I don't post everything to fA, so you'll be able to see some extra stuff over there.

Tumblr | Twitter | DeviantArt | Website (has commission info and contact information)


I am most active on my Tumblr and Twitter. You can send me a commission inquiry at any of these sites, but you'll be guaranteed a faster reply by sending me an email, check my website for info on that.


Welp guess I'm goin back to reupload some things.

So after somethin like 3 or 4 years I am finally awakening my DeviantART account. MAN this site has changed so much I feel like I have to relearn everything oop.
I'll still be most active on my Tumblr, but I'll hopefully be somewhat active there now too.

I saw this program called PureRef, which helps me A LOT when I'm doing my digital art.

You can manage multiple reference images in one space without having to create new layers on your psd file, or having multiple windows open for various images. I find it super helpful for organising my workspace. It might not seem like much at first but once you get your head around it it is super helpful.

You can download it here. It's free, but you can choose to support with a pay-what-you-want system.

Also check here for a list of the controls/shortcuts which are super handy.

Does anyone know of any good places to post art? I'm struggling to find really good/active sites that are mainly composed of an art community. So far I only post on tumblr and fa. I used to post on da, but now it seems to be kindof...meh? The reason why I left da a few years ago was because my internet was struggling to load it. While my internet still sucks, it's been loading it occasionally pretty well recently. Would it be worth going back and posting there as well? I figure the more the better, but, I wanna hear your opinions if you have any...

I hear of a lot of people posting on twitter and instagram, though twitter is more for chatting, and instagram doesn't really seem appropriate for art...

Is there any art sites people are using that I haven't heard of? I want to be posting to a few sites to build up an online presence, I just don't know where to go lol.

Hello everyone! I'm glad to announce that I've finally put together a website so I can display all of my commission information in one place rather than having to display it at multiple sources.
http://skelizardarts.weebly.com/

Let me know what you guys think. I've also added a link to my RedBubble, which I hope to add more sticker and shirt designs to soon.

For now on, all commission Information will be displayed on my website, inlcuding my Terms of Service, which is a must read if you want to commission me. I will be editing my fA's commission page with a link to my website, and also will be on my Tumblr blog as well.

I think that's about it. Also, thanks a bunch for all the watches everyone! It's great to know people are interested in what I do. :')

Thank god for the addition of gallery folders, that's only something I've been waiting for since forever. :/
Anyway, I've re-organised my gallery into separate folders now! Easier to find past commissions I've done as well as artwork of my characters and such, much happier with it now!

They've been open for a while, but just letting everyone know that I filled in the "Commissions" tab on my profile, so my commission info can be found there. Though I still suggest you look at this Commission Info on my Tumblr which has more examples and details.

Detailed Illustrations are currently unavailable due to lack of time! Icons are not listed in the FurAffinity info 'cuz I haven't uploaded one to my gallery yet, but you can see them on the tumblr page. I'm currently working on some commissions at the moment, but new orders are still open!

I'm open to any ideas for sale as well, just shoot them to me if you want!

And in other news, I recently made a RedBubble! It's only got a couple of designs up there now, including the coyote heads from before (with and without blood versions, turn Mature Content filter on to view them). I'll definitely make more designs in the future, suggestions of maybe what you'd like to see?
I've ordered shirts from RedBubble before and they're really nice quality!

Well I'm gonna head off to bed now,

I'm going to Supanova Melbourne tomorrow (sunday), WHICH I KNOW A LOT OF YOU PROBABLY AREN'T GOING TO 'CUZ YOU'RE GOING TO THE COOL CONS IN AMERICA. Since I live in Australia and am very cheap, and having my own commitments, I can't attend any of those conventions, but I can go to the ones in Melbourne Australia, which there's only like 2 a year but whatever.

Is anyone else going? Or not? If you're going to the cool cons in america tell me about your experience, I'd love to know what it's like!

Heya, LET'S GET RID OF THAT OLD FIRST NEWBIE JOURNAL AND MAKE A NEW ONE EH?

I am pretty familiar with this site now, there are some super cool people here and it's just great seeing so many interesting styles! And to all those who have followed me, thankyou soo much, I really do appreciate it!

So I guess let's do a small meet and greet thing? 'Cuz of lack of other things to say? I thought I should list some of my interests and whatnot, who knows maybe we share things in common.

ABOUT ME:
Skelizard- The character Skelizard who can be seen in my ID is a stylised lizard skeleton statue which somehow is alive, these creatures in my characters' universe are called Living Statues. Skelizard is NOT my fursona, I don't have one, I just wanted to create a character based on my username.
Favouite Cartoons/Anime?- I like a lot, Danganronpa, Shaman King, Regular Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Wakfu, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack On Titan, Steven Universe, these are ones I can think of from the top of my head.
Favourite Band?- GORILLAZ, Infected Mushroom, Slipknot, instrumental stuff, really whatever sounds good/interesting that isn't romancy.
Favourite Games?- Pokemon, TF2, Rayman, Professor Layton is what I can think of right now.
Other Stuff- I am an Australian artist! I love anthro characters just 'cuz the concept is interesting to me, I don't identity as a furry or anything like that. My characters and stuff I draw are but not limited to anthro characters, I love animals, monsters, and some cool human characters too.

So there ya go, some stuff about me. I'd love to know a bit about my followers too! You don't have to share anything by any means, it is completely optional. But here's some particular questions I'm interested in hearing answers to:
Why did you choose to follow me?
What do you like about my art?


So yeah I guess that finishes this journal, how do you even end things idk.

It took me almost 10 minutes to properly navigate around this site haha, another 5 working out how to make this journal.

ANYWAY despite this account being created over 3 years ago, I actually, ugh, completely forgot about it... BUT IT'S BACK NOW. My art dump has ended, thankyou to everyone who's already followed me! It means a lot. :)

I hope to share more of my art with you guys, and find other awesome artists here in the future!
