Tweet says most of it, I have a really stupid bill to pay, so I need to do some work I didn't really intend to do on my vacation time. Oh well, reply to the tweet or here if you're interested in getting one, I'm gonna pick and note people when I'm about to start theirs, I'll only do one at a time to make sure I won't fall behind.

These are not gonna be streamed, so this is your chance to get something from me if you can't make it to my streams,

http://heithabyr.deviantart.com/

Go follow me over there, and make the place lively so I don't forget uploading things again \o/

Friendly reminder that I've opened commissions and if you fill out the form before the 1st of January, you'll be just in time to make it to my work queue for January!

More info, prices, ToS, and the commission form itself can be found here; http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22024341/

That aside, I do hope all you folks have nice holidays, whatever the names of the one you're celebrating might be. (Piratemas!!)
See you on the other side then.

Sorry I've been so quiet/unresponsive the last month, let's just say I haven't been so well and needed a break very badly. A break at a place that didn't have much wifi, that is to say, half of the time I didn't even have mobile internet...

Anyways, I have regained my freedom and I'm at friends' place for the weekend and will return home on Tuesday or so. I'll have a lot to catch up on though, so expect me to be slow. Especially since I still gotta be careful to avoid a relapse, stress is a big no-go until my new medication reaches the suggested dosage and I can see if it works or not.

Anyways, I'm alive, and things will pick up again soon!

So, I'm back home, but absolutely not back on track yet. Won't be for a while, because my whole everything hurts, that's how intense this con was.

I'm too exhausted to write much of a report though, so I'll keep it short. This year was my first time with both early arrival and late departure and hoo boy that's a lot of con. Arrived at noon on Tuesday and I was baffled by the fact that about 2/3 of the con was already there. EF is growing too big for even this hotel, I am almost dreading the amount of people next year. 8'')

I've also met a billion new people this year, whom I will not list because I would probably forget half of them. Let's just say I got to know more of those french folks invading us here, and everyone who heard me say croissant cringed in pain. I also got to very briefly say hello to stigmata, who was bouncing around people to the point I was afraid he might just explode. I've never seen a person being this excited over salad, or anything, really. I also got to hang out with plenty of folks I knew before again, I can't believe how many of you people are there. My roommate this year, who had never been to a con like this, probably died a little from how many people just randomly showed up to talk to me.

Of course with that, as always I didn't get the chance to hang out with nearly as many people as I wanted to. So sorry if anyone felt like I was ignoring them or being elusive on purpose, I really wasn't, I just had to do a lot of work. In total I think I did 16 commissions and 7 or so trades? I think I haven't done this many before, and considering how much time I spent suiting, sleeping and actually attending events, I have no idea how I managed this.

Suiting was a blast too, I didn't expect such a positive response to my old creepo fox face. Back when I was suiting in my werewolf at EF it was a lot less fun, but I got a lot of complipents and photos taken. Don't tell the fox though, he might become arrogant over it ;)

Also the whole enlightenment thing? EF gave me quite a few things to think about. Good things mostly. Having attended Stigmata's first panel made me realize I have done something very similar in my life at one point that just really sucked, and so I'm motivated to continue improving myself in any way I can. Aside from that I also realized just how important my characters are to me, even if I never draw them, or have them drawn much. I have a whole lot of them, but each of the ones that survived for so long has a very important purpose. I probably should give them a little more attention at some point... :')

But yeah, that was pretty much EF, and for the first time I am actually more sad that it's over than I am glad to be home. I'm also sad that my next con will be NFC, and that's only in March next year. So far away 8(

PS.: https://t.co/FjcLEu2UPB I scanned all the art I got from folks, and it can be found here 8)

Because it's gonna be that time again soon. Not long until EF now!

Estrel Hotel Berlin, Early Arrival till Late Departure! :D

Sharraqa

What is your gender?
I'm a ladything

How tall short are you?
171cm, completely boringly average?

Which languages do you speak?
English and German.

Dealers Den, at my table, or in the Artist's Lounge, or otherwise hiding to work.

Who will you be with?
 odin36519 and  Princess_Rei we be stealin' all yer booty. Also I'm dragging my roomie along probably everywhere so be nice to 'em. Otherwise I'll be hanging out with whoever is around of all the billion lovely folks at EF!

Do you do free art/trades?
I'd LOVE to do more trades! Especially on the days before the Dealer's Den, I'll totally trade for shinies other than drawings too.
Free art however is a no, except for very close friends maybe.

Do you do commissions?
Yep! You'll find me at my table, offering sketches and things and such as usual.

What suit(s) will you have?
Probably none, maybe I'll manage to improvise my fox. I doubt I will finish Manyara on time. :(

Can I dance with you?
I don't dance.... but you can join me in that of course

Can I touch/hug you?
Only if I know you 8(

Can I talk to you?
Well, can you? You can certainly try, if you catch me somehow. I'm a busy birdface

Can I take photos of you/with you?
Why would you do that? But okay, I guess I don't really care?

This might be the last time at EF you actually can, so yes of course! Mojitos are my favourite.

Yes.

Sure, just drop by if there's room around. I'll be in the Artist's lounge most of the evenings to hang out.

Not this year anymore, but I'll be going to NFC again next year.

Attending any events?
Dealer's Deeeeen. Might drop by  wolfgryph's panel about HOW TO BIRD though.

How can I find you at the con?
Easiest would be to find me in the Dealer's Den. Otherwise I'm afraid I will have no fancy rainbow hair to spot me by this year. If you can't find me however, you can totally poke me on twitter -> https://twitter.com/kstormwing Account is public and you can just mention me, and I'll also make announcements over it!

Can we go out for dinner?
Depends on who I'm with and whether they like you. I personally don't mind people tagging along, I'll probably be going to the vegan places a lot again this year...

Are you buying art?
Maybe, I'm very picky about what I buy. Probably gonna buy some shiny gems from  faolan's table though, and  bablog has a really cute acrylic charm of a BIRD that I have a need for, even if I don't know what to use it for at all. BUT BIRD!!

What do I have to watch out for, when I am meeting you?
Don't be a jerk? Also don't even try hitting on me, I'll hit you back right in the face (unless you're a lady, then by all means go ahead). Also please excuse me if I cut you off, I don't mean anything by it, it's just very likely you might catch me while running somewhere fast, so I may not have time at the moment.

What is the best way to contact you?
https://twitter.com/kstormwing this Twitter! Or Telegram Sturmschwinge

May I kidnap you to my room?
I'd rather not, unless you're a certain bunch of pirates, then the shanghaiing is basically already planned.

Last time/last con/last meet/last chat we talked so much and now you forgot my name?
Sorry about that! Thing is just there's probably 10 more who did just the same, and my name/face memory is really bad. Plus, I need to remember all the commissions I have to work on too, so please forgive me.

I have a personal question for the convention. May I ask you that?
Sure, ask away, though I may be busy so if it's anything big you might wanna ask it before the con, or after..

Just letting you folks know that on the 13th, 9pm German time, a really cool stream event will happen, featuring some cool people and yours truly, drawing and gaming for charity! http://animalaidunlimited.org/ THIS charity to be more precise.
Check out the original journal post on Deviantart, and maybe any other artists out there want to join up streaming for animals in need?

Either way, I will be there, working my ass off as usual, and I will probably do sketches for donations! 8)

https://www.patreon.com/wolfgryph?ty=h

Look,  wolfgryph made a Patreon account, and I think you should all take a look at this featherbutt's work and maybe throw in some dorrahs. Hint, there is arts and cutesy stickers in it for you!

'das all for now.

Soooo  wolfgryph said I should tooootally do a Naughtyvember challenge with them, because I always keep mewling about how I don't like my porn and how there is not enough ladies out there. (Still won't be doing commissions of this tho)

Eh, long story short, I don't have enough characters for this, so give me yours? Here's the twist though; I will only draw ladies. So if your character is male, you can sure enter them, but they will magically become a lady suddenly.
I also tried to make one of those f-list things to show you what you can expect but then everything was too many dicks and I didn't wanna look at it anymore. 8C So have a half-complete list of what you may or may not expect... idk. :V

To enter a character (or more really!), simply fill out this thing and post a reply, and I will pick random folks for doodles each day. This stays open until end of November! :V

It's mostly self explanatory really. The Solo part means this; Solo = your character alone, nobody else please, Double = One stranger okay, but no orgies, Poly = I don't care how many more ladies are involved. Bring on the ladypile!
Also name any kinks you personally would like on the character, and I might pick one. If there's something you really don't want to see, put it in the no-go and I won't do it.

Character Name:
Refsheet(s):
Solo, double or poly:
Kink suggestions:
No-gos:

Here's a list of future planned icon stream dates. They're not set in stone since something might come up, and I might add more streams to the list if demand is high enough, but here's a few future dates I plan for icons.

All streams will roughly start at around 2pm German time, and I can usually get about 3-4 icons done in each.

On break until November, will announce new dates on the first!
(further dates TBA)

Previously drawn icons here
Price is still 30$ single, 50$ couple icons, can be Halloween themed, doesn't have to though!
You'll receive a 100px wide usable version, a 600px watermarked web version for uploading, and a roughly 1000px wide HR file, for printing, downsizing, or looking at.
I can also add your or your character's name in a bit of extra space underneath the icon, and thus turning them into small badges, free of charge.

Short version; PWYW Stream Friday 9th 2pm German time I Icons Monday 12th, also 2pm

Pay What You Want stream!
You do not have to be a supporter on Patreon to have a chance to get art in this stream! Everyone gets a chance, only advantage for Patreon supporters is that I will prefer them in handing out slots, should they want one.

Back home from EF! Still gotta unpack and go shopping for shiny things, but I finally got to sleep properly through the night and got to snuggle my cats again.

EF was surprisingly awesome! Not gonna write a full con report thingy because I am lazy, but let's just say I felt very badly prepared and had a lot of anxiety before the con, but then I met a whole lot of wonderful new people and got to hang out with some people I have known for a while.
and so many more who I probably forgot to list now. ;w; Shout out to all you cool people and the cool time we spent together, even if it may have only been mere minutes, as usual I was so damn busy.

Until next year! <3

Depending on my time. I'll probably be up for a bunch of trades with friends, but eh. Who knows how much time I will have outside of work.

None sadly. 8C

I don't dance.

You're talking to someone, and I would like to say hi, but don't know how, what can I do?

Where will you be most of the time during the con?
Dealer's Den/Artist Alley/Not Availabe. :V

Anyone around who wanna hang out there? :V

Heya, I just wanted to let you guys know that Dragonoak is for preorder now. A friend of mine wrote this book, and if you like queer ladies, dragons and knights, you should definitely give it a look. The first part of the book is available for free too, if you wanna check it out first! I can only recommend it, it's really good.

---

Dragonoak is a high-fantasy, low-magic trilogy, totalling around 470,000 words. It follows the story of a necromancer by the name of Rowan Northwood, who runs away with a passing Knight after months of being ostracised by her village. Sir Ightham takes Rowan along grudgingly, but has her reasons for doing so. Not that it’s easy to get much more than a few words out of the woman.

What begins at a desperate attempt to find a better life quickly becomes something much more troubling–but in all fairness, Rowan never asked whether Sir Ightham was in exile or not.

Dragonoak takes place in a fantasy world without the limitations of the real world. The majority of the cast are queer women of all kinds, spread throughout all levels of society. It’s a story free of sexual violence, that still delves into issues like PTSD, depression and addiction. Being queer is entirely incidental; this very much isn’t a coming out story.

Hello folks, this is an announcement.
Thanks to your support on Patreon , I am offering one PWYW art stream each month now - and the first (well, second) starts tomorrow, at around the same time I posted this (between 2-3pm, see here for local time )
Rules will be simple; First come, first serve, I will take one reservation for the next slot, so there's a chance for people to get a slot even if they come late, Patrons of any level will always have first rights to slots, when I start on your slot, send me the money on Paypal and link me a character reference. Keep it simple, I'll also take full artistic liberty with the poses. And of course, the more you pay, the more work I put into your art, but there are other factors that determine how much work I'll put in something too.

Heya folks, I just wanted to let you know I reactivated my Patreon again after the winter hiatus. Changed a few things to make it more interesting for people, and prettied it up a bit too. What may be of interest to some is that I will only be offering full painting commissions at a fixed price on Patreon, if I ever offer any outside of that, they will be auctioned and possibly a lot more expensive.

https://www.patreon.com/Sturmschwinge

Aside from that, we already reached the first goal, which means I will be offering Pay What You Want style commissions [url=http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15981526/]like these[(url] regularly now. Once a month to be exact, they'll be done first come, first serve again, and only until the stream is over. I'll make an announcement the day before the stream starts, so you have about 24 hours of time to get your money and refsheet ready.
(Also it's only 10$ away from the next goal, which will mean a giveaway of original art! I better get out my paints and start the art, eh? :U)

Alrighty, the stream is over now, not sure when and if I might do such a thing again, but it was fun!

Soo, since I am retiring my werewolf now, finally, I'm thinking about what kinda monster fursuit to build next, for scareacting obviously. It'll actually be a pair of two, anybody got some cool ideas maybe? So far we're considering either another simple pair of werewolves, or skavens (grey seer & plague monk), because hell yeah skavens.

Keep in mind these gotta be hella scary though, when you make a suggestion... our current werewolves are already close to being too cute, I'm tired of people wanting to touch me. >8C

I just wanted to let you people know I gave in and made a public skype account. People have asked me about skype before, but I don't want to add random people to my private account, since I use that for important contacts mostly.

So, if any of you wants to talk to me, for whatever reason (except business, that is. No commission talk on skype please), feel free to add sturmtalks on skype. I'll be visibly online when I am online, and if not I probably am not online. Feel free to poke me when you see me :U


(also expect me to be super slow with art, I've fallen into the eternal slumber phase, and am too tired to focus on anything much most of the time. I'm working on getting someone to fix that, but eh, that might take an unknown amount of time....)
