Yo, I just wanna gauge some interest. Who would be interested in a written commission from me? I would charge the standard I see around FA, which is a cent a word (10 USD for 1000 words, etc).
The theme would have to revolve around weight gain, of course x3
Just send me a note or comment if you'd be interested. If you've got an idea, all the better :3
Keep in mind, I'm usually a slow writer, so big writes could take months.

It's weird to have it fall right now with all the world reeling from this annoying virus. Would've wanted to go out with family or something, but eh, what can ya do. Anyways, I thought I'd just make one of these journals. It'll be my 22nd revolution around the sun.
Hope to have more art for you folks to see soon. I've been thinking that I'm gonna transfer my gallery all over to the mature setting. It just kinda feels better that way. Sorry kiddos, but this art is a bit too suggestive in nature. Feel free to come back when you're older.
Anyways... All the best.

Hello folks. I'm sorry I got you all excited about more content from me. I'm in a slump right now, and I think I need a break from Twitter and FA. I'm going to plan to get off for a week or so and get some R&R away from all this, and hopefully when I get back I'll be recharged. Have a good one.

I thought that today would be a good day for some art. The same thought has occurred several other times, and I'm led to the same place I am right now.
I try to draw. Sometimes I start okay. But I end up nowhere near finishing what I'm doing, then start to feel overwhelmed or I notice that it doesn't look good. Normally this wouldn't stop me, and I'd power through til I thought the draw looked good enough. But recently I've been having a hard time. When I try drawing, often I just end up goofing off or not doing serious work. As I write this, having just tried to draw, I feel kind of physically weak. I don't like this... I'd much rather put out more stuff for you guys. I'd much rather be creative... But I just don't feel it right now.
I may try drawing from time to time, but I just wanted to let you know why my uploads have become more infrequent, and why it may be a while before I do my next proper piece. I hope I get out of this funk soon...
I've been home for winter break and I can't help but think I'm going to wish for all this free time later, but I can't bring myself to do much now. Maybe it's best for me to take a step back.

For all those who care, or have noticed that FTamaskan is gone, my username has undergone a bit of a change. I'm still there! It's FatTamaskan now.
As it should be... heh.

P.S. Don't follow me there if you are under 18, please.

I will not open commissions again until I am satisfied with these things and become less shitty at drawing them:
-Footpaws
-Handpaws
-Eyes
-Legs
-Arms
-Furniture and Nature (Backgrounds)

I will post sketchwork and practice in my scraps. I have no excuse for it. I feel like I have a good style and a developing community here... But the next step is clear. I need to polish my work. No more roughs. No more color outside the lines.
I post this here to show you my resolve to improve, and because I know that if I say so here, it will make me more likely to follow through.
I want to thank everyone for being patient with me thus far.

Yo, just thought I'd ask. Any artists watching me who enjoy my work up for a trade?
Note me :3

Hi folks. You may be wondering why you haven't heard from me for a while, I suppose. It's a combo of schoolwork and general stress, but I digress.
I also haven't been making any art recently. I have one commission that I've been working on, it's a writing project and it's taking me a while to roll out. So I've told myself no art until it's done.
Anyways, a question I wanted to ask... I want my gallery to look polished and I've looked back at some of my old art pieces that I don't particularly like as much and I don't think represent my style now. Should I clean up my gallery and delete some pieces to make things look better...? Should I just move the old art to scraps?
I used to make a lot of mistakes I'm trying to move away from stylistically and knowing that first impressions are everything I don't want folks to look at my gallery and see old artistic mistakes and use those to judge me now. Yet at the same time, I know each of those pieces were part of what helped me get where I am and are part of my artistic journey.
Any thoughts?

Heyhey. I'm 21 today. You folks can expect some fat art later today! :3

Ahyep. The 24th of March rapidly approaches yet again, and this year I'll be 21. Doesn't feel as significant as I thought it'd be, considering all the hype some folks give it. I will, however, celebrate by going to a winery with friends and family. Either way, milestone, right?
I did, after all, tell myself when I was growing up that 21 is when I'd finally consider myself an adult, because I'd have all my rights...
Yay, adult-ing.
At any rate I hope everyone who chooses to read this is having a good one, and I wish you folks all the best.

Hi folks. This has ended up being somewhat of a vent journal and to let people know what's up with me lately. Lately my life has been mixed, mostly negative.
Earlier in January my father was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. Not because of smoking, but because rectal cancer he beat five years ago has spread and returned.
He lives 60 miles away from me, but I took off from my new internship in DC to take him to his first chemotherapy last Monday. He will have to do chemo for the rest of his life, and the cancer is incurable. However his oxygen saturation is at 98% and despite the effects of chemo, he has told me he feels good. So I'm trying my best to hope for the best.
Yesterday, my younger (half) brother's mother overdosed on drugs. She had just got an new job that day. This came completely our of left field for me. Although my dad and my brother's mother have not been together for some time, I still hoped for the best for her, knowing she had these problems in the past: she stole money from my dad to pay for drugs and she cheated on him, leading to their breakup years ago. But she went to rehab and things seemed better. I wanted to believe she was better. My younger brother lives and has lived with his grandmother for more or less his whole life. Last year his uncle passed from lung cancer because of a lifetime of smoking.
Earlier, his mother and her boyfriend moved into the basement of his grandmother's house because of monetary hardship. Last week when I took my dad to chemo, she called me, and she asked me for a loan of 50$ because she only had 4$ to her name, saying that she would pay me back ASAP once she got a new job. She did yesterday. And then she OD'd. And now it leaves me wondering if she would still be alive if I hadn't given her money.
But I have to remind myself it's not my fault. My intentions were kind, and what I wanted to do was to help her survive. That she would do this was not even something I considered.
Now, as my roommate and his friend come clambering into the room at 4 AM, I've awakened with these thoughts. And I know that at 6 I will have to get up to go to my internship, and commuting is tiresome. Yet I've ended up taking a half hour to write this journal. Get it out there.
Now you know.
And now my roommate is asleep. And snoring. Maybe I'll just get up and get ready to go early.

Hi folks. Due to some folks asking about it and my wanting to get some more practice, I've decided to do some requests. However these will NOT be first come first serve.
Here's what you need to do:
First watch me to be eligible if you haven't yet.
Then comment below with the following:
-Any number between 1 and 100
-A link to a refsheet/ reference image of your character

The five slots will be picked this Friday with a random number generator at 10 PM US Eastern (which is also server local time, found at the bottom of any FA page).

Hi folks. I won't be around for a while. If I can draw during this time and upload when I'm back, I will. But unfortunately I've received some bad news in that my father's cancer has returned, and I also got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. So I'm feeling kinda creatively uninspired to say the least. Luckily enough for me, I don't owe any art at the moment, so I can basically close commissions with this journal too.
I will check up here sometimes, but the best place to reach me will be my Twitter, FTamaskan.
Thanks for all your support.

Hi folks. Just wanted to say thank you for helping me reach this milestone. I'm happy that my art has taken a turn for the better, and I hope to be able to continue improving as time goes by.
If you happen to have any suggestions, questions, or comments for me, please let me know! Also, if you have anything you would like to see more of from me, please let me know.

Hello folks, Monday I had to have my car towed, and had to pay $650 for repairs. For the first time since two years ago, I'll open commissions here. These are not first come first serve, and I will contact you if your commission request is accepted. To get a commission, please first read my Terms of Service first.

Then you can fill out a commission request form. (Pricing included here as well).
Here's hoping I get more interest in these. I've made the initial prices reasonable for the first time opening professional comms, and as demand increases, I reserve the right to change these prices.

Tomorrow or so I should get around to arranging a submission announcing how comms have opened.
Thank you!

If any of you folks are interested in following, feel free. It's @ FTamaskan. The F stands for Flabby heh
18+ please. I may retweet NSFW content.

I haven't really done something like this before... But I'm going to go ahead and open for five requests. First come first considered.
Keep in mind I reserve the right to refuse for any reason, and these may take a while to complete because I'm about to go back to school. I will complete them in the order received as well.
Comment here to grab a slot, and then note me with details about what you want! I'll update this journal as I go.
This will also be used to gage general interest in my art uwu
No underaged characters, no NSFW at this time. No watersports, scat or diaperfurs either please, sorry.
Try to keep it mainly to fat. e.e

You may have noticed that I've deleted my last writing submission. Yeah... I've come to understand that I need to do these things differently, and I thank you guys for bearing with me. I'm sorry that it came to two months of silence. I have some art that I made but I felt like I shouldn't have uploaded until I had the next part of the story done. A month later and I still didn't have it done.
I'm sorry but I'm making the decision to halt that project, as I have in the past for a few others. But this is to make way for other things. I got to the point where I just didn't feel like working on that, and I was distracted by schoolwork and adjusting to a new job. But there are new things in store that I am working on with a good friend of mine, and I will continue to make art.
Above all I want people to know I am not gone, and things are going to pick up. As long as I love the fatfur community, I'll stick around.
Thanks for your patience.

Hey. Just figured that you guys deserve to know what's going on. I planned to be no more than a week in making the second part of the story but unfortunately I've had a few things happen that have both kept me busy and out of a writing mood. I'll spare you the list and just keep it short. That does not mean I plan on dropping this though... I just need to get though this and I may have some time this weekend to make it.
Thanks for your understanding.

Planning a trip to DC. I'll go to the Native American museum and then go to a Mediterranean tapas restaurant that I've been going to for years on my birthday. Should be fun ^^
