Its the best Day to figure out all of the best jokes you can think of.............
But nobody can take anything seriously.

So if you are trying to be legit, everybody will think you are Joking.
Its the worse day to try to be serious or legit......but it is the best day to be a Jokester.

Got told a Commission would be done today...and later they admitted it was an April Fools Joke, it will be done late rin the week.
Im mad........Not only can I be an impatient Bastard sometimes.....but I dont know if they are still joking about the delivery time.

Fuck This Day...
I both love it and hate it.

I know its not a recognized US holiday...or celebrated much in the US.
But still, Happy Holiday!

Now Im gonna get drunk

I know there is ALOT of them, but thats why Im asking: for recommendations.
I just want good basics for drawing bodies at least.
Not searching for Perfect anatomy or learning complex stuff like muscles and the skeleton, I need to start small.
And then I can build up to that stuff.

Im getting Very bored of Videogames, They are becoming literally all the same, and even worse, just...boring.
I LOVE action Games, I love my Ninja Gaidens, I Love my Devil May Cry, Ive always loved Call of Duty, Im a huge fan of Tekken....but alot of videogames lately among other games have just been...again, boring. And mismanaged. And even when I have time to play games...I feel like I just dont want to play games hardly anymore.
And often, I get very inspired and get cool art ideas from the videogames, I find myself looking at the design of things more then wanting to play the games....

So, I think its about time I find a new way to waste my time, I want to get back into drawing, and actually getting some REAl practice in. I may not get to the high level that the many artist I watch are at.....but, I want to get into Mild designing, but also be able to draw up things. For fun, and for practice
I could use it for Art examples to, because, I still plan to get commissions. But this will also be a great means of making my own examples and references instead of feverishly reference hunting on google and stuff like I always do.

So again, just looking for some recommendations for just...simple stuff like drawing bodies. And just themost simple basic stuff.
I dont want to draw or Paint studies of statues, I want to Create.
I dont want to imitate life, I want to Create it.....in artistic expression.

Anybody?

So Ive been very adamant about sharing around my Discord.
Ive kinda wanted to keep it for my IRL friends, and occasionally for Business (Well, commissions) for for very few friends I made here.

Ive just been nervous about, some things. But I wont get into it.
Im not hosting or gonna manage a group or community, thats just to much for me.
And Apologies in advance, I may not Always be on. IRL things, or Im busy

Feel free to chat about things - ""NO POLITICS""
See how this goes.

Discord is = theziggi_05869

I like that word, V-Day.
Anyway, have a good one


As Always
Stay Safe~

Not like I have considered myself a Furry or really part of the Fandom for a very long time.
But Ive been lurking in the middle of it for a while, and it feels like its just become....Drab.

And its hard to tell if because of the politics that have infiltrated and infected the fandom. Or if we just simply grew up.
Just hardly feels fun to even just simply lurk around now adays. The only conversation that seems to happen is Negativity, hardly anything fun.
Not that fun people and convo are completely extinct, it just feels...drained. Joy has mostly bled out in this fandom.

Maybe its just a rough patch.
Ah well.

Stay Safe~

Alright, uploaded my current batch of commissions I got over time.
Please look foreword to the next batch.

And now...
Back to Marvel Rivals!



Stay Safe

I dont like Inkbunny, for the obvious reasons, and i just dont like its UI.
But, the One thing it had that I think every gallery should...is a Tag Blocker.

And it took a few years...but FINALLY, ITS HERE

Rejoice

Well thats technically February...but still.
YEAR OF THE SNAKE

Happy Holidays everyone~


And Merry Sinsmas to those who know

Well ok I finished it 2 hours ago, but I got dragged away by a small group of people...I mean my friends.
So I wasn't online for a little bit, we got Pizza.
(GLORIOUS SUPREME BBY)

And...well...my honest thoughts...its full of Holes that a TLK fan can see, maybe even people who aren't part of the TLK Fandom could see them (Assuming they've even saw the 1sst ORIGINAL Animated movie from 1994)
But...weirdly. I think the movie Overall was waaaaAAAAYYYY better then I was expecting, and sure as fuck better then "The Lion King - REMAKE" (2019)
Insert the people who'll say - "That ain't saying much" -eyeroll-

Now, a few details without spoiling the movie (Not that anyone would probably care....but Im still respectful of it)
The movie feels like its a stolen fanfiction, with the characters replaced with Mufasa & Taka / Scar (His Original name) and a few other familiar characters. So, I can pretend if it was just a fanfic, its honestly pretty decent.
But now as a TLK fan, looking back at the Original movie, they definitely kind of....forgot, or ignored alot of things from the Original movie, that just seem absent. And alot of events happen that its like....why was this never brought up in some way?..... If many of these events were ever loosely mentioned in the original movie, we would have a VERY different outlook on everything, especially with Mufasa and Scar.

Timon and Pumba have literally NOTHING to do with the movie and literally don't contribute to it.
Which...is good. Because when I saw them in the 1st Trailer, my inner nerdrage fired off "THEY WERE NEVER THERE OR MET MUFASA, AND IF THEY DID, WHY DID THEY GET SPOOKED WHEN THEY SAW SIMBA, AND WHY DID THEY NEVER TALK TO HIM ABOUT HIS FATHER!??"
So, they were just there as just familiar and useless extras to make jokes and give side commentary, because the movie is told as a story by Rafiki (So maybe we can blame him for blemishes)

And...for the 3rd time in a row....."Scar's" backstory on how he got the Scar, and the Name...is different.
Just....why can't Disney be consistent...he is one of their most popular Characters, part of one of their BIGGEST AND MOST POPULAR IPs / Films, and they cant even get it right!.

To end....I like how they told the story, despite MANY plot holes and obvious changes.
These things do damage the original mythos and lore of TLK and brings alot of things into question about the 1st Original 1994 Movie.
But, I shouldn't be surprised, looking at what is happening to Star Wars.
But I can still be surprised, the Movie was not absolute Garbage like the Trailer made me believe.

ok. 1 more final note.....
The choice to Dial back on the Hyper-Realism and give the character near human Expressions, was 1000% the right move.
I kinda dealt with it in the 1st movie. I just....kinda accepted it even with how bad it was. I knew what I was getting into. And just like the Ugly Sonic...I was gonna watch it anyway....as a Fan.
But them doing away with that in this movie and made the characters actually EMOTE, felt really good.
The VA work was even pretty decent....although the musical numbers & singing....to me could be better....but whatever. Im not the right person to critique Music.

-7.5/10-

I think an 8 is to strong....and I think a Flat 7 is to low. so ill go in the middle!
Just my Opinion.

Or Sonas.....characters....however they may be Identified.

Any cool stories, lore, outfits and Ideas in General you may do with your characters.

Mixture of Boredom, anxiousness, and, me trying to push myself to be social again / return to my old self. Life is hard so I gotta eventually get out of it.

These silly "tell me about your characters" things are always fun, whenever I get interactions

GG Gang.....been a little all over the place today.
Besides my boring feelings and being tiered (diabetic) been enhoying Marvel Rivals.

I pray it doesnt get shitty like Overwatch did.
Or at least, get bad the same way as Overwatch did.

Enjoy the new batch, till next time!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone that Celebrates.

Its been a tough Year for most of us. If I had to be thankful for anything, its that I haven't gone homeless yet.
Every single time Im at the cusp, something pulls through at the very end.

I am either Very lucky, or Very Blessed. I dont want to take that for granted either way.
Hopefully things take a full turn to get me out of this whole completely, instead of temporarily.

But my personal Sappy Nonsense out of the way.
Everyone have a great day.

~Stay Safe

.....1st off, hello to everyone that has given me a follow


But.....I had a retweet that reminded me that Bluesky has a Moderation system so I can curate my feed.
Lets say, I blocked some obvious things.
And, in a separate tab, I watched it vanish from my feed.
Just...ok, THIS will make me like Bluesky abit more, and even be a little active there.

And, quick note, I just want to separate certain things from certain spaces, I come online to escape life, not be reminded of it. I apologize if that sounds dismissive to anybody. But again, I come online to get away from it.

Be Safe

I hate social media, I dont hardly use it.
But...if you need an alt way to contact me, in case FA goes offline.....I have a dumb Bluesky account
Ive had it for a while, made it when Bluesky launched. But...here it is.

https://bsky.app/profile/sccarro.bsky.social

Id be lying if I said I dont have a Twitter, but Im never hardly on it. Like maybe Once in a Blue Moon.
And I made a bluesky when it was new, hip and trendy....but never use it, and I dont plan to.

Its just Twtter 2. Literally made by the same people that made Twitter, they took Elon's Money and made the same thing all over again
(Ill admit, power move)

Once Bluesky becomes popular and everyone is on it.....it will be more of the same, it will just become as bad as old Twitter...or for some of you...New Twitter.
It will just be the same garbage, just with a new paint.

The cycle repeats, so I see no value in it. Its literally the same thing. But I guess with a FEW improvements.
Its nothing new.
Not even the UI interface is new, or any different.

But, Im not here to shame anyone.
Shame on me for being an Old Man who refuses the Future XD

Stay Safe Everyone.

A little batch.
I was gonna wait abit longer to upload, but felt like doing it today.

Till next time lovelies.

....I love Grape Concord.
Its delicious.

Ok that was a Warm Up.

Now, I saw the Trailer, and had many of the same thoughts as everyone else.
Then I tried the Open Beta.

After I got to try it myself, I saw all the discourse and Heavy Memes against it, so my personal thoughts?

Im sad.
Because, if the game was announced and showcased sooner with a Beta, they could have gotten some Notes about both their designs, so they could have tweaked them or developed some neat Alt Outfits IMMEDIATELY available at launch. And, some gameplay tweaks.
One of my problems, the game didn't have any real dedicated Healers.

They had some support Healers, but the heal was a CD. So after its used, you were useless for your intended purpose for about a minute or so. That is IMPORTANT, and they decided to do healing like this.
You could argue it makes it easier and faster to kill....but if they were trying to Copy Overwatch, they failed in that department. Overwatch has real dedicated Healers, and getting kills is still more then possible.

But, so, Im disappointed, because if they got these types of notes sooner, and made some very necessary changes to the game...it could have, at least been a 'decent' game.
Maybe Concord wouldn't be popular, but it would have had an audience, and one that could have grown with more fixes, changes, and additions over time.

The Pronouns, the Fugly Character Designs....nah. As much as it does matter to player reception, that's surface level.
The REAL ISSUE, is the Game wasn't Fun.

If the game was at least fun to play, all of these crappy designs could be ignored.
Heck, some of them could have become iconic.
And naturally, over time, they probably would have made new skins to replace the original fugly ones.

Just, Concord Misses on a ton of levels.
But what truly killed it, and what could have saved it...at least to a likewarm temp, and even get a decent fanbase, and playerbase.....is if the game was even Fun to Play.

Ok, just shower thoughts.
Thank You for reading/skimming my tedTALK

The one on the Left. Such an Adorable Chinese Crested Design. Would Totally either make him Oliva's boyfriend, or even her little Brother. (Sixty Secretly has a Son?!)
Would love 100%


Just Kidding, dont Buy him for me. I think I have to many characters anyway.
Im just giving a Boost because I think both Adopts are Adorable.
Plus I love to see more Chinese Crested representation.

Give em a look.
At the very least just to see cute designs

I made a journal like this about a year ago
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10674380/

Im repeating it, as Im once again searching for Recommendations for good Feral Artists. i just...suck at this.
Id like an artist who
--Is not Full or has a Giant Queue
--Can draw more then just Wolves or Dragons
--Is not a TLK artist (No hate, just not what Im looking for atm)
--And is Capable of doing SFW AND NSFW.
Im primarily a SFW Commissioner, but not against NSFW at all. Same applies to Feral.
Im flexible on Prices even though I tend to work with a tight budget, but Im open to being convinced, so throw whoever you want at me.I always enjoy window shopping, and potentially discovering New Talent.

Primarily trying to aim for more art of my B**ch here
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53639934/

But I have other Ferals and would like to make a new Feral or 2.

So...if You got some artists out there that could be a good match, please link them below, and thank you in advance!~

Stay Safe.

Good Job Everyone, we survived the Great Spirix Upload Batch of 9-11.

.....Over the top?...In bad Taste?.
Ah Well.

Thank You everyone for the Birthday Wishes, yes I had a nice good quiet day. Life is (Currently) Good.
Im hoping things stay on track, and Ill be back in full swing. Trying to be more social, and not
(--Insert personal problems we all have--)

Hope Everyone else has had a good or Decent Day.


Stay Safe

Give em a look, especially if you like Muscle Daddies.

I mainly wanted to...

---A)))
Ensure the handful of people that have messaged me....Im alright. Im not suicidal or preparing for self deletion.

---B)))
Apologize for the previous Journal a couple days ago.
https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10931694/

---C)))
Give a thank you to all of the good wishes from everyone.
I didnt want to immediately respond to anybody because....well...too quickly after my big meltdown, and it might have felt like attention-seeking. Or Fake.
Or worse, if I responded same day, I might have said more emotionally-driven crap.

Im not lying, I am in a bad spot atm and shit aint working out in getting a new job and other shit. But, I was just very stressed out and got very emotional and needed to vent and I exploded as if I was gonna become homeless. It was a similar feeling when I got sick and I have gone Deaf in my Left ear and made a couple of journals a month ago (According to my journal history)
So instead of that huge "On Hiatus" announcement...if I could go back, I wish I either had more emotional control and didnt make that journal at all. Or...at least I wish I would have said just taking a few days off.
More so the Former.

Things are...a little better. My job is picking back up, but they are small jobs atm. but the trend is that they start small, then build up to huge Mentally Draining but Wallet filling jobs.
It just takes time.
But hopefully not to much time. (I am really behind on bills @_@ )

Just thank You to everyone.
And fulfilling my -- "Ill post again when Im ready.""


Be safe everyone.
