For anyone who hasn't seen it yet and is interested in my macro art (especially of Luneth and Starry), the twitter version of it is here: https://twitter.com/DracoStarry/sta.....34987554304000

Every 5 likes and/or retweets it gets adds an inch to both of their heights, but if you want to give one of the characters a boost over the other, you can tip me on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/starrydraco and tell me which of the characters you want to give a boost to (Remember, Starry is the one with star markings, Luneth is the one with moon markings). For every one U.S. dollar tipped, I'll add one inch (2.54 cm) to that character's height. (I can distribute that growth in a more specific way if you ask me to.)

In any case, do what you want with this information. I got myself really hyped for the growth drive, so I'm hoping people like it.

I've been meaning to do a growth drive for a while and now seems like the right time. I put a poll on Twitter asking people whether they'd want a weight gain/inflation growth drive or a macro/micro growth drive and macro/micro has taken a huge lead https://twitter.com/DracoStarry/sta.....33648619814912 . I'm probably going to start with the weight gain/inflation drive if the macro/micro one looks like it's ending, but if there's a huge turnout of enthusiasm for the wg/inflation drive, I can get started on that a bit earlier.

That said, I'm currently at the stage of deciding which of my characters to use for the drive: Either Starry, my fursona https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51387600/ ; Luneth https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51624471/ ; Chai https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51152078/ ; or this one that I've decided to call Strawberri https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52180582/

I'll be counting comments under this journal as votes on the poll, just tell me which of my characters you're voting for.

Today's the last day to buy the Strawberry adoptable I've got for sale, after today, I'm taking her off the market.

The submission for the character is here in case anyone has a last minute change of mind: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52180582

I've still got 3 adoptables available to buy for $50 each, and each one will come with a free commission of that character. They go off the market in late September, just letting people know just in case someone wants one of them.

This links to the reminder post: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51597341/ and that post has links to each of the characters.

I'm back from my short break and I'm ready to do more commissions! But since I took on more than I was comfortable with last time, I'm going to only be taking on 2-3 for now. Prices can be found here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50223198/ .

If the comms are sparse in between, like if I'm able to get done with one or two before I get another, and if I'm still feeling good I'll open those slots up again.

I'm probably going to make a new comm sheet at some point that actually outlines my feelings on doing nsfw art (which is that I enjoy doing nsfw art). The prices are going to be the same, I just want it to have a better presentation to it, y'know?

I've just put up the first of the therrigon adoptables I've been wanting to sell, and I'm finalizing the reference sheet for the next one. I'm gonna keep the characters on the market for about 6 months after I initially put them up, so if this first one isn't bought by September 19th of 2023, I'm scooping them up myself the way I did with Chai, simple as. I wouldn't feel right selling them if they weren't something I'd want myself, so if I'm the only one who wants them I'm not going to sit back and let them go unused. I'm gonna put the end date for buying the character somewhere in the submission for each character, so keep an eye out for that.

Also, just so this is out there, when you buy the character, I'm also throwing in a free fullbody portrait commission of the character so that you aren't just stuck with the reference sheet for the character as your only art of them. I decided to hold off making the portraits in advance because for one thing it'd be a kinda time consuming overhead cost, but also because if you're buying the character for a specific thing or if you'd want them to be used in a certain context, I want you to have art of this character that reflects that thing or context.

Anyways, that's all I've got for this journal. Looking forward to whatever becomes of the adoptables.

I've been thinking of doing adoptables for a while, and since I've finally solidified what my fursona's species is (and 3 of my other OCs) I think it's the perfect time to make a bunch of therrigons and sell them so I'm not the only one with these kinds of characters. That said, I'm only going to start selling once I've finished my last commission I've got lined up, I just want to put the notification out now so that I can gauge people's enthusiasm and interest in having one of these kinds of characters for themselves.

Each character will come with a reference sheet and shaded portrait and will cost about $50 for the whole package. They aren't going to have names when you buy them, since I'm kinda bad at naming and if I had to name each of the six characters I've got in the works I would lose my motivation to finish, though I've code-named one of them "Vermillion" because of her color palette, so to the person who potentially will buy "Vermillion", you'll have that to fall back on.

All of that said, I get pretty attached to the characters I make, which is why Chai is now one of my OCs and not one of the adoptables here. So if it's been like an absurd amount of time (6 months at least) since I uploaded the sheet and there are characters that haven't been bought, I'm likely to take them off the market and adopt them myself.

So uh... that's about all I have to say about that for now, hope somebody out there is as excited as I am.
