An update
Posted 10 years agoSorry but things have been very slow for me. Work in particular has been very draining and depressing lately. But here is a quick update.
1: I will still be doing all the raffle prizes I owe. If I owe you and no longer want one. That is fine, I understand. If you are still going to wait, I will note you when I'm close to starting your project with choices of what you can get, and updated preferences. You are mor than welcome to stray from your original idea/design. Opinions change over time, I understands this.
2: I have commissions. These have priority in deign finished with certain due dates. Expect to see some of these pop up soon. I will admit I am working on a personal suit for Halloween, but I will put it aside if it interrupts/delays any commissioners. I will be updating my list, but any questions, please ask.
3: I know a lot of local furs are asking me about commissions. More so, my prices. I need to update my prices, as well as convert them into USD so I don't lose money ordering supplies. But as of right now, I'm closed untill at least FE 2016, as a lot of my commissions are due at this point. After this convention, I should be able to start think about new projects.
Again, sorry for any delays, work will be finished and delivered. I'm currently sorting out my work room to start on new things.

Back From FE!
Posted 10 years agoFE was a blast and actually got a couple customers from it... But dont worry raffle people! I havent forgotten about you! (I actually met one of you at FE but didn't realize until after)
But I have set up a Trello to easier keep track of what needs to be done. It will be updated as I work as well as every Friday:
Commision Board
Raffle Board
But I will try to gather the remaining information I need from people so I can clear my lists. Some things have been happening and hopefully things will be moving forward for this account in general. I plan on getting a surging machine and embroidery machine soon to start working on bigger and better projects. As of know I still have a full time job so things are getting done on my spare time. I'm hoping to slowly transition from my job to this sooner than later, or at least be able to dedicate a couple days a week for commissions.
So thank you again for being patient with me and I hope to have some work up soon to show.
So anyone whom I owe stuff, expect some notes over the next couple of days! Any questions, comments or concerns, please note me on this account, or my main account

Changed again! Sorry
Posted 11 years agoFor for the journal spam but it turns out this afternoon won't work after all. I will instead do the draw on my own time and record it and post the viseo and results on Dec 25th before I leave for the day. I'm going to work on the notes for the winners and everything beforehand so I can easily mail them all out as well.
Again, really sorry but this is the season to be busy :P
Also! I'll announce the "official" prize list as well.
Main draw:
Grand prize:Artistic Freedom Partial including Head, hands tail and feetpaws
2nd Place: Custom tail and ear set
Referral draw:
Grand Prize: Custom "Shawl" Hoodie with matching tail (Example coming soon)
2nd prize: Custom tail
So there are 4 prizes total to be won. The time frame that each piece will be completed will be discussed with the winner.
Sorry again and Happy holidays and Merry Christmas

Raffle draw date changed! (Dec 20 1:30pm!)
Posted 11 years agoOnce again this will be a livestream draw that will be recorded for quality/fairness concerns. Prior to the draw I will show the list of all eligible entrants and numbers. This draw will also include the referral draw which has it's own list/numbers. I will be posting the official spreadsheet to Google docs on Thursday or Friday if anyone would like to double-check their entry. If you are shown as unable to enter, send me a PM and I can explain why. Please do this via PM ONLY. Any comments elsewhere regarding entry status will be screen-capped, then deleted.
I'm hoping some people will show up but I'll post a submission once it starts so that people will know.
Once again, I will note the winners after the draw but most planning won't take place until Jan 2nd. Just so that all the holiday business should be out of the way.
But happy holidays and talk to you all again Saturday :D
Inputs please!
Posted 11 years agoSorry for bombarding you guys with journals! After this draw there will be a lot less ^-^
If you haven't noticed, I threw the draw on hold. This is for a few reasons, mainly getting caught up with entries but also thought of some other potential issues I would like some feedback on. The closing date of Dec 1st will be moved back by the number of days I keep new entries closed.
Minors. I've noticed some younger people joining in and this can cause some issues.If you are a minor (under 18), please note me! You will not be disqualified! I just want to keep track in case you win. Not all shipping in certain areas is covered as well as parental concerns so if I can deal with this sooner than later, it would help.
*You no longer need to note me, I may have a solution to my concerns. If you win and are a minor, I will need to know then*
Total count. I've came to the conclusion that:
-All entries (valid or invalid) will count towards the total count
-Invalid entries with a valid referral will still count towards the referral count.
-Anyone with an invalid entry can fix their entry however I will not be reminding people or replying to invalid entries stating so. I have done this at first, but came to the conclusion that it is the responsibility of the entrant to read all the rules.
Also a few other things I have noticed:
Entries with reference sheets. These worry me a little as I expect these people think they are getting a custom suit.
Entries with an invalid referral. Some people are just putting in their friends names that never even entered. I have no idea why as this does nothing.
Also, I have been doing my entries in Excel. Is there anyway I can show this online easily so people can check their own entry/ referrals themselves? Or easily make this a google doc? I've never used those so any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

Draw Questions!
Posted 11 years agoThis is in relation to this journal here-> http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6239674/
If you have any questions involving this, please ask here!
I will update the section below with anything I think is important/interesting.
Now FAQ style!
Q- Why are you doing this?
I want to practice and improve my skill. I would eventually love to move on to commissions but don't feel confident enough yet so this is a test run. Although I have done some commissions prior, they were for local/friends so it's different in a sense.
Q- Am I going to get spammed by this account?
Nobody has asked anything like this, but I just want you to know that although you are watching this account you won't be getting a millions notifications from it. I will only post important WIPs, teaser shots, finished projects and the occasional fun picture of a finished suit. Journals will be slots, other raffles (for both my accounts) and personal problems that may affect my work. So even though you are watching me, you wont have to worry about being bombarded by random stuff.
Q- Why is this account so empty?
Again I was planning on this account for commissions but never really got there yet. (I even set up the commissions tab) I will be uploading a bit of older work but not much. My main account () has the majority of my stuff.
Q- What are the referrals for?
Each referral counts as a "ticket" for a separate draw. The prize currently will be a custom tail or wing set. This may change over time so keep checking back!
Q- Can I make a journal to advertise this/get referrals?
I need to stress that IS NOT REQUIRED! FA has a thing about journals like this and I'd hate to get shut down or have to restart this. I prefer you NOT due to this but advertise even on other sites or just shout on your friends pages
Q- So I don't get to pick what I want?
Nope! It is in the Terms that this is artistic freedom meaning I get to choose. I will however work closely with the winner for a design we are both happy with! The winner can through suggestions and ideas at me if they so choose.
I will also not be doing copyrighted characters or closed species or Angel Dragons
Q- But you said something about fursonas?
I might choose to make your fursona if it is something I am intrested in. I will discuss the details with the winner about this.
Q- What about shipping?
If it stays as a partial:
Canada: Free
USA & International: I will pay half of the final shipping price.
Please note me if shipping is a concern/problem for you!
If you have any questions involving this, please ask here!

Upcoming Draw!
Posted 11 years agoI'm still working on final details, T.O.S. And warranty information but I will be having a draw soon! Hopefully the first of October with the draw ending Dec 20th and Draen on Dec 25th!
The prize will be a partial suit! (Head, hands an tail)
I will premade images with the design and look of the costume premade. The winner will get to choose the design they wish. Minor design changes (appearance and construction) gender and eye will be discussed with the winner. More details coming.

The species include:
Otter
Black footed ferret
Okapi
Common dolphin (will also include back fin)
Ruffed lemur
African wild dog
*update* I might also be willing to do another species and I will give 2-3 designs for you to choose from. This only applies to actual species, not "custom species" (Some mythical creatures still apply such as gryphon, dragon ect)
I'm open to suggestions on what you would like to see but I will have the final say. Details regarding construction time frame shipping and everything else will be updated later.
Two other notes though. You must be 18+ to enter (if younger, note me first)
Winner is responsible for any extra shipping charges that may apply.
But expect to see this soon :D
