up to date bumpoff

So first and foremost- I’ve been keeping a sort of alt, hidden account (I prolly wont be updating/maintaining at this point) over at  Behemeleon

This involved a massively overgrown monster/kaiju Chameleon and an off-shoot experiment slime. It was created sort of as a way for me to do some experimental things and try to test out a few styles and themes I wasn’t too sure with at the time. And now I kinda am done with doing (But I’ll still do stuff with the characters maybe).

Secondly, I’m probably going to start posting commissions again on tumblr in MASSIVE batches. I will clearly label these as commissions, and if previous issues become a problem again, I’ll start blocking people. Neither me, nor the people I do art for want to deal with some of the comments that show up. So if you can’t be civil, you’ll get a warning, and then you won’t get to see art.

I’m mainly doing this because I forsee that for some time in the future I’m going to have an egregiously low amount of art output (much like I’ve been lately already). So figured I’ll supplement this with work I’m being commissioned to do

Thirdly, involving streaming, Picarto is where you’ll see me do work and commissions. If I’m not streaming there, don’t ask for stream commissions.

Also yes, I play games, I play things like league fairly mediocre. I’ve enough people and friends I don’t play with already, I don’t need to add more.

—-

Fourthly. It has been no obvious secret that I’m a terrible social person. I don’t interact with people like a normal person would, I often get a short temper and blow up. So if I’ve done that to you before, I both apologize, and you deserve it. BUT ALSO, during my bad times, I’ll try to route you through a proxy, particularly during streams or over skype, to try and tell with more calm and patience than me, what the problems are.

Yes, my “PR manager” has told me I need to chill the fuck out more, so I’m going to be working on that.

Friend who's a new artist here, lookin to do commissions (anything big n belly up his alley)
Go drop him a visit  projectendo

Will not be accepting commissions for extreme fat/inflation anymore for the time being.

This month's commission specials are gonna be:

Gummy Commissions- Characters are gummy, sweet and translucent. I cannot do this commission in anything but a painterly style so prices are fixed at a $30-50 range depending on overall detail and complexity. 10 slots available

Examples are-

Thanksgiving Feast- Same pricing as usual, and take whatever "flexibility" as you want for the definition of thanksgiving feast. Many characters seated at a table together, A character being the "centerpiece" entree, or your character in the aftermath food coma. It's the harvest season so make your choice (you are not limited to what has been mentioned, those are provided examples). 15 slots available

This month will be last month that patreon supporters get discounts, afterwards, I'll be using coupon codes in the future when my patreon is discontinued.

Running into too many personal life issues right now, I'm not gonna be doing the monster mash event this year. Too much of a struggle for me to get around to organizing it or harassing people for submissions (have none anyways). Maybe next year or later as some special event.

Boy howdy I thought I left this place behind but... I kinda need it. In the months since I left FA my traffic has started to dwindle. Not quickly mind you, FA has done plenty to keep traffic and business over on my tumblr and Weasyl in the meantime with the amount of bs and drama they've stirred up. But after a couple of months of FA keeping their nose clean and fairly well maintained (especially with lack of ddos attacks and upgraded servers), traffic has been vanishing elsewhere.

It IS the FA cycle (or cycle of any popular service), everyone gets mad at it and leaves it, then gradually come back to it for one reason or another. However, this serves as a problem to me, who has used commissions as a primary source of income. And watching traffic for commissions go from 8-12 person queues to 1-2 regularly, streams go from 20 to 5, the numbers speak for themselves. Part of a reason for my lethargy is my slow workpace, not having any work out there to tax me. I cannot survive off of the sloppy seconds/drama birds that fly south to Weasyl and Tumblr for the drama winters.

So with great aggravation, I'm returning to crossposting to FA, as well as posting on Weasyl, Tumblr, Patreon, and adding twitter and deviantart to my list of sites to keep up to date.

P.S.- Some sites I still deem as more "thematic" for certain types of posts: Tumblr you'll still find "sketchbook" posts, Patreon and Deviantart you'll find more "choice" posts from my commission pool. And Patreon I might start posting some exclusive arts, designs, and doing contests for.

P.P.S. - I'm still maintaining my normal means of commissioning, CONTACT VIA EMAIL, I swear to fuck. I do not use note systems because site service anywhere is inconsistent. USE EMAIL
