I've submitted my whole furry production here, so far. There are a lot of non-furry pictures and photographs in my DA account, but most of my furry art is also here. I apologize with all those people who already watch me on DA: their accounts will surely be flooded by all these drawings!

Ok, I've started posting some old pictures I've never submitted here before.
Also, I want to try to do some paid commissions. I've set the prices, as you can see, and I have two commission slots open. No porn or fetish, please.

Maybe. I nuked all submissions and the like, but I wanted to thank you for your kindness and attention.
I'm going to post some pictures.

Tagged by SansSouci.

The 1st player of this "game" starts with the topic "6 weird habits/things/hates about yourself" and people who get tagged MUST write a journal about their 6 weird habits/things/hates as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" on their User Page comments and tell them to read yours

1 - I suffer from a heavy case of nervous sweating. Whenever I find myself in a situation I find somewhat stressing (like exams), my armpits - and my armpits only - start sweating like crazy. God bless deodorants...

2 - One of my biggest fantasies is to have an hallucination. But I'm strongly afraid of drugs of any sorts, so I'm too coward to look for anything...

3 - I speak with my car and my computer, patting the former on her wheel if she's behaving well and yelling at the latter when he isn't working. And I'm going to make love with my digital camera, by the way.

4 - I'm strongly narcissist! And egocentric, self-centered narcissist!

5 - I was born with a cleft palate. Thus, after many surgical operations to rebuild it, my right nostril is partially closed. This makes me snore often, and my voice is quite nasal.

6 - I hate a lot of current love songs.

I tag:
aledonrex
Chaotikat
KaeMantis
Piumartiglio
TheBrave
Rimpala

Okay, here's the contest:
<i>The goal:</i> Draw Honey as <b>you</b> see her. You have her char sheet ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/395168/ ), with some informations about her and a quick and dirty set of pictures. Starting from that, you should portray her as you see her, as you imagine her, following very freely the indications. If you have any question, send me a note.
<i>Deadline:</i> 31th of March.
<i>Prizes:</i> There will be a colored and shaded prize drawing for the winner and a black&white picture for the two special mentions. ;)

If I were to start a contest only for FA, would you partecipate? I see I have a lot of different peoples as my watchers, so I'll be pretty curious to see your own rendition of something I have in my mind...
And, if you were to partecipate, what would you like to receive as a prize? Would a drawing or something like that suffice, or would you prefer something different (and what)?

...what's your favourite character, from my own production? I'm rather curious, you know... ;)

...Why are you watching me?

Happy Holydays!
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

1) Silence: yes, I've been very "quiet," art-wise, in these days, and so I'll stay until the weekend, since I'm pretty busy right now... but I'm still alive.
2) Live: yes, I'm alive. So alive that I have my own LiveJournal. http://tmiket.livejournal.com/ It won't be very updated, since I usually live a rather... uhm... boring?... life.

As others have pointed, everything has been looking too quiet since some days ago... I once had tons of submissions, comments, journals and so on in my panel, and now... Silence.
Where have you all gone? o_O

NOW I HAVE A DEGREE (in Marine Biology)
HO-HO-HO

I keep reading that those who are for the ban of underage mature art can't tell reality from fantasy.
I feel insulted, and I usually don't take insults very kindly. But I'm stopping here, or I'll become very vulgar.
I'm not going to write on this matter any more, I promise.

An important issue is in debate in these days: should admins ban underage mature art (like cub porn)? Many artists are threatening to leave FA if the ban isn't imposed (and some are using this threat to induce others to vote as they want to, which is very wrong, in my opinion).
Personally, I find underage mature art disgusting (as well as rape art and some other things on which I can't, however, cast my vote), but the reason I joined this gallery surely isn't just to have another way to showcase my artwork or find porn: I'm here because I know there are many good artists *and friends* who I couldn't find anywhere else, whom art and companionship are precious to me.
As a well-known italian song says,

dai diamanti non nasce niente
dal letame nascono i fior

which can be translated in "nothing can grow from diamonds/manure lets flowers grow." If it's true that this gallery has a lot of "manure" into it, I'm here for the flowers.
I won't leave if the ban isn't approved (even because I shouldn't ever join this gallery, since it has a lot of things I hate), but I'll feel really bad if I'm going to see many friends go away for this.
But I won't try to change your minds: do as you wish. You are free as I am.

 tark some time ago showed me this website: http://www.last.fm Basically, it's a huge database for music fans to let them share their musical interests. I subscribed and made an account; if you wish, you can check my own profile: http://www.last.fm/user/T-Mike-T/ :B

Just a bump to clean the previous journal entry. I've updated my profile and commission info.
Oh, and, sadly, I won't be in Lucca, this year. :(

Every year, a big expo on comics and general gaming takes place in Lucca. I might be there, this year, on November, the 1st, though I'm not so sure of it.

1. Who are you?
2. Are we friends?
3. When and how did we meet?
4. Would you kiss me? Where?
5. Give me a nickname and explain why?
6. Describe me in one word!
7. What was your first impression of me?
8. Do you still think the same?
9. What reminds you of me?
10. If you could give me anything what would it be?
11. How well do you know me?
12. Are you going to put this on your journal and see what i say about you?
13. Would you ever meet up with me?

I couldn't expect to reach such a quantity of pageviews! Thank you all!

I want to thank you all for watching me! I couldn't really expect such a reach in so little time. :)

Today I went for my last sampling dive. We found nothing, but I behaved well, and surely improved my diving skills.
Anyway, it seems that my good mood is still here. I feel good (sha-la-la-la-la).
Okay, two days ago I told you that I had some news for this month. And yes, I have some interesting news.
I've analyzed my recent production, and I found that keeping myself away from å part of my works let me explore new styles and new themes; and that was good, because it was like a glass of fresh water for me.
And now I feel refreshed enough to restart with some of my usual works (anthropomorphics, too). I have some brand new ideas, I will delete some of my older projects (no more interesting for me) and I'll bring back to life those I still like.
And I'm still open to trades.
