Work cut my hours, therefore...! I am officially opening for commission work again!

Things are a bit different this time; I will be standardizing commissions via the use of a Google Form:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1.....orm?usp=header

PRICING

Black and White Traditional Sketches:

$10 for a full body, $7 for a half-body. This rate stays the same with additional characters.

Full Body Example 1: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61848957/
Full Body Example 2 (Vore): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39609083/
Half-Body Example 1 (robo-gore): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/33734790/
Half-Body Example 2 (vore): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/27320958/

Writing: $1.50 per 100 words (1,000 word minimum). I will give you an approximate quote for how long I expect the story to be, and I do not charge if I go over (within reason).

4,000 word example (original characters, vore): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57513229/
2,700 word example (StarFox fanfiction): https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59510454/

Turnaround:

Once the request is put in, please give 1-2 weeks for a response; my day job can get hectic at times and delay quick responses.

Once the request is fully approved, my goal is to have it to you within 1 month.

Payment:

For art, I do a very basic sketch with pose and submit to you for approval to proceed. Once approval is received, I ask for payment and complete the sketch.

For writing, I will give a sample depending on how much is needed.

Discounts:

Involve my characters in a visible role and the price is cut 10%. I do reserve the right to decline these requests and determine if they are "visible" with you beforehand.

Content Rules:

I am willing to try most subject matter, but please no underage characters.

For sketches, I am less familiar with drawing women and characters I draw tend to be masculine.

I reserve the right to not accept a commission request and will let you know if I do not believe I can deliver a good experience.

Thought I would collect all the multi-part, non-commissioned vore stories I've written in one place. I am affectionately dubbing these "Tani Timelines."

Fanfiction timelines are sorted by name of timeline and source universe. Stories in timeline are in chronological order.

Let Me Out (The Batman)

Synopsis: David “Fox” Shinnick has spent several years in prison for his attempted terrorist attack at Gotham University. One night, his cellmate disappears, and he is the prime suspect. Thrown in solitary confinement, he comes face to face with his transformed alter ego, Fox, somehow in a separate body. Fox has an insane offer: let himself get swallowed whole, and they can merge into the Fox permanently. Unknown to David and Fox, however, there is another being behind all of this… a being who has Cain S. Latrans as but one of their many aliases.

Let Me Out I
Let Me Out II

Bite in the Woods (Night in the Woods)

Synopsis: After the revelation of the murder of Casey Hartley, Gregg is overcome with a feral appetite, and gleefully eats one of the Cultists responsible alive… and whole. Neither he nor Angus have an explanation for how that is possible, but it’s hot, so why question it? Some time later, Angus and Gregg finally manage to achieve their dream and move to Bright Harbor… only for Angus to soon be diagnosed with an illness that is terminal without treatment they cannot afford. Gregg’s despair is put on pause as he is visited by a face from the past… with a morbid offer that will allow him to save Angus’ life. Can Gregg go through with a deal with the (literal? Metaphorical?) Devil?

Bite in the Woods

Sly Cooper and the Gluttonous Raccoonus

Synopsis: Some time after the defeat of Cyrille Le Paradox, Sly Cooper has a strange piece of parchment delivered to his door, detailing the exploits of Comotodo Cooper, an ancestor he had never heard about. He finds Comotodo’s apparent ability to eat people alive to steal their lifespan absurd, and then he feels his own appetite start to become insatiable. He soon discovers Comotodo is very much real, and he (along with some other familiar faces) is still alive. He’ll have to stop a powerful immortal and his organization of fellow predators, and he’ll grab a few snacks of his own along the way.

(There are so many stories in the GR timeline they are grouped into volumes, split into parts. Each of these links goes to the first chapter, and the description contains a link to the next chapter in that volume)

Volume I: Gluttonous Raccoonus - 3 Parts
Volume II: Band of Preds - 5 Parts (On Hiatus)

A Slice of Pi (Zootopia)

Synopsis: In the city of Zootropolis, Police Chief Piberius Wilde has turned personal tragedy into strength, guiding the city to record-low crime rates. Some mutter that the Chief has something to do with the high accident rate, but surely his incredible weight gain over the years is just all the donuts.

So I got that special email, and I've been confirmed for an MFF suite!

I have one week to call them and give them my card information to reserve the suite, but in the meantime I thought I'd see about possible roomies!

I have the suite from November 28th to December 3rd. The total cost is $208+$29 tax per night; the suite has a King bed that can fit 3 people.

Anyone interested in rooming, do let me know! Please be aware that MFF has several terms I must follow for using the suite, namely:

-Every person has to pay at least a proportionate share (that is, at least 1/3 of the room cost)

-Everyone must primarily sleep in the sleeping room. So... I may need to share a bed with whoever's interested XD;; I'm a-okay with working that stuff out, though!

-Rooms must not exceed hospitality capacity (for this room, we can invite up to 10 people in).

And that's it! :D

So at the risk of being greedy, I've decided my target conventions each year will be Further Confusion in January, BLFC in May, and MFF in November (though depending on finances I will probably switch MFF out for FWA, TFF, or something else depending on the year; BLFC and FC will probably be my mainstays due to proximity).

Sooo! Just posting this journal to let everyone know I'm going to be trying for FC 2019 and seeing if there are any interested audiences!

For those unaware, FC is in San Jose.

So I grabbed my registration for Midwest Furfest and currently have a two Queens hotel room at the Crowne Plaza.

Anyone else planning on going? Anyone who'd be interested in rooming?

I'm trying to draw up a potential roommate list :3

In addition, anyone who registers in the next few days for MFF has a shot at getting into the main hotel due to a lottery they're doing.

Figured a formal journal would be better than updating that ancient one.

Due to an increase in living expenses, I have to increase the price of my commissions slightly. Commissions formally laid out before this (i.e. were paid for already, or fully agreed to under a pay-as-I-write/draw plan) will be grandfathered in and be exempt from the rate hike (e.g. if you already paid $5 for a sketch, then you don't need to pay anymore for that sketch).

Black/white Sketches: $6 per character (in the event a character is only partially seen, they will get a reduced rate; belly bulges do not count as a character)
Flat Color: $10 extra per image; this will be reduced if there is less to color.

Comics: $6 per character per panel (adjusted based on how much of the character is visible); I realize I normally draw comic panels as sketch-sized, so they are receiving sketch pricing per panel.
Colored Comics: Add $10 per panel, but proportionally reduced depending on what is being colored.

Writing: $1.1 per 100 words, or around $5.50 a page

A commission can simultaneously have both writing and drawing elements to it.

Content Rules

I'm known for fanart, but you are welcome to ask for art of your OCs.

As for overt restrictions, I will try just about any subject matter, though I will not draw/write underage characters in sexual situations.

Payment Plans

Not all commissions have to be paid up front! I offer several alternatives:

PAYGO Plans - Under this, I will work on the commission piece by piece, and request payment as I go. Normally, I ask for payment after 2000 words or when a sketch is partially complete. These are meant for big projects.

Credit Plans - Give me a list of things you want from me, and a lump sum, and I will work on them steadily while deducting from your credit plan.

So I have officially attended my first furcon (many of the people who met me were shocked whenever I told them).

My takeaway? Awesome, and I wish I had done a little more. In some detail:

I arrived at the hotel minutes to midnight on Wednesday, exhausted from exams and lack of sleep, so of course wasn't particularly social. No one knew what I looked like, so it was easy for me to slip into my room unnoticed and just fall asleep.

Thursday I spent largely cooped up in my room, too anxious to go to any of the proposed meetings. I mulled over whether or not the trip was a mistake and whether I should have used the money for something else.

I had the fortune of being shown a Telegram group by a friend, however, and from there could monitor everyone's attempted meetups (made difficult by the crap internet connection). Seeing one in progress, I finally decided to man up and go down; when I got there, there was only one person present, though it quickly became two. A part of me was screaming that I could go back to the room, but I forced myself to go introduce myself.

...best decision I ever made. That meeting introduced me to two furs I would talk to several times over the week, and gave me more courage to go to a vore party on Friday. At the party, I admittedly quickly froze up because there were like 60 people present, though as it cleared out, I began to talk with several people, some I knew from online, some I had never met at all. It went pretty splendidly.

The remaining days of the con, when I wasn't attending the nightly rave or the occasional panel, I got to meet up with more people. Some of whom I had felt too afraid to talk to during the party, and immediately wished I had spent more time with them. People I had never met before in any form were willing to show me kindness and affection; I slowly broke my tendency to handshake in favor of offering and receiving hugs. It was... something.

I think I get what I've been missing all these years now. That there's a warm, inviting family for every fur out there, it's just working up the courage to go and find them.

I made the right decision. I have made more progress on my social anxiety in 5 days than I have in 25 years. I'm going to try for another one very soon.

I've omitted names for privacy, but I can say that everyone I met was a joy to meet. If I did meet you, I'm so glad I found the courage to do so, and if I haven't, I'll definitely try harder to next time. <3

See for yourself lol

Darn skunks.

Well that hype train derailed fast. At least I have incentive to not really follow the manga now.

Just gotta hope the anime revives all Erased universes on March 24th, I guess.

Sales for A Pirate’s Treasure are doing nicely, so I thought I’d drop in!

I feel like giving back to the community, so I have decided that for as long as I’m able to keep it up, I want to do a raffle thing where I give away free art/stories.

1. For every $30 in gross sales across all of my Payhip content, one slot will be created. I have several vore stories there for sale and encourage you to look, but no purchase is required to enter this.
2. Each slot is redeemable for either a one-character sketch or 1000 word short story from me ($5 and $10 value, respectively).
3. Comment here to enter the raffle. I will restate that no purchase is required for entry, though I tie how many raffles I will do to how sales are doing.
3a. In the event I hold this raffle across multiple sites, everyone will be counted in one entry pool.
4. Every Friday, I will pick one slot winner, until I have exhausted the free slots. Raffles will resume the Friday after a new slot is created (e.g. if I have $115 in sales, there will only be 3 slots by default, but if a few weeks later I hit $120, I will raffle off a new slot that Friday).
5. It is possible to win more than once! If someone wins more than once, an additional slot will be created, so everyone still has a chance.
6. Once winners are picked, I will send them a Note and they will have 48 hours to respond. In the event I receive no response, I will draw a new winner.

Edit: And our winner for the first drawing is  Arron_Rokas!

I give thanks to everyone who has helped me out. The support helps me keep producing free content that everyone can enjoy.

...in the manga at least.

I am quite happy to see my precious wolf bros again. <3

I missed out on the block due to the insane rate the rooms flew off the shelves, but I grabbed a regular rate room for the convention.

I'll try for a cheaper room in the event any block rooms open up in the future.

So uh... barring anything crazy I should be for sure going now :v

https://www.goblfc.org/

I'm considering making it the first furcon I've ever attended.

Figured I'd ask around!

Just figured I should sort them into a list since the fan-continuity's grown so much.

Cosmic Monarchy

Omni-King: Liquiir
Grand Priest: TBA
Omni-Crown Prince: Virgil (Participating in the Tournament; is a one-man team)

Gods of Destruction - 52 total

Universe 7: Barqus
Universe 9: Bergamo
Universe 11: Dyspo
Universe 40: Lavender
Universe 41: Basil
Universe 42 (formerly 2): Majora
Universe 43: Shosa
Universe 44 (formerly 4): Quitela
Universe 46 (formerly 6): Champa

Non-Gods Participating in the Tournament - 27 total (Gods from other time periods like Beerus included)

Goku (Present Universe 7)
Vegeta (Present Universe 7)
Beerus (Present Universe 7)
Mint (Future Universe 9)
Nip (Future Universe 9)
Mato (Future Universe 9)

So while I'm busy trying to capitalize on Forces' release with that Payhip portfolio, I figured I should actually write my thoughts on the game itself.

In terms of story, I'd say it's your average story. Not too bad, not outstanding, but average with a few twists here or there.

In terms of gameplay, my experience was colored by the poor optimization of the PC version. I always was thrilled to be in control of Modern Sonic. The Avatar's gameplay wasn't perfect (their homing attack is annoyingly slow), but I got the hang of them fast. Classic Sonic was the worst, feeling heavy and ironically rather slow, the fact he feels shoehorned in aside. I'd actually say the best character to play as is Shadow, both because his Boost has a better aesthetic, and he has a faster Homing Attack than Sonic, allowing for much faster play. Of course, almost all his levels are just Modern Sonic's, barring the 3 included as part of the DLC.

My biggest beef with the gameplay is how horribly easy it is. I played on Hard Mode and breezed through most levels. On the levels that do present a challenge, it's often due to slippery controls: e.g. platform after platform after platform where it's easy to slip into the void of death. Overall though, you can easily beat the game in 4-5 hours.

The music was just kickass overall. It's got plenty of nostalgia trips while lots of original tracks as well. It's definitely an area where there was a nice callback to the Adventure era's aesthetic.

On the whole, the game feels like a missed opportunity to be something much better. Better optimization, tighter controls, and a little more time to flesh out the story and stages could have made it really great.

I would say it's definitely worth a rent, but one should hold off on a purchase until the price drops.

Based on last night, what can unite furs for/against you:

1. Holding a convention
2. Drawing porn
3. K I L L I N G A L L Y O U R F U R R Y C H A R A C T E R S

The next Dragon Ball Super is likely to make me rather depressed, angry, etc.

I shall try to avoid vent art, but I already have a few vent pieces imagined up, all featuring a little blue marshmallow being cut down to size.

As always, anything too extreme goes in scraps.

The three-tailed fox God character is finally making his formal appearance on Dragon Ball Super a week from now EEEEEEE

So excited I've been waiting for his formal appearance for months EEEEEE

I'll try to squeeze out fanwork between commissions EEEEEE

Hello all!

I've been quiet for a few days and it occurs to me I probably should have given some work updates, both for clients' sake as well as anyone else's. As it stands I have two outstanding story commissions and one outstanding art commission.

I had plans to get these largely finished up this week, but a family friend (who was basically like another grandparent to me) passed away on Saturday and as a result, I didn't have much time to myself to work on them. I've been gathering with his family a lot of the time and also trying to keep his widow company. I should note I've been living with them both the past 5 months or so, so it hit particularly hard.

I've largely collected myself emotionally and should be getting back to work soon! He was a man who loved to make people smile and hated to see them sad (his last request was there be a party instead of a funeral, even), and I feel getting back to work making others happy (never mind helping his wife with her bills) would be a good way to honor his memory. If there's a Heaven, I'm sure he'd get a kick out of the fact I make people happy in a very different way than he would.

Before I go, I guess I just want to say... if there's anyone in your life, especially if they're old or sick, don't think twice about spending more time with them. I currently feel like I should have done more while he was around (like everyone else who knew him, I was expecting a gradual decline in his condition, not a sudden heart attack), but I can't let that feeling eat me up. I just have to try and spend more time with the people I still have. I'd suggest that to everyone else as well. God bless.

I'm seeing a lot of angry reactions to the NITW vore and... well...

Being horrified only makes me stronger. ;v

Special mention to this post!

I'm spreading the word for  BigBadBeast; he is currently in a difficult financial situation, and any donations for him would help him out enormously.

Besides living expenses, he is also in need of money to visit his sick mother; full details are available in his journals.

He is also taking full body commissions to help raise money: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7809517/

So yeah. My stories and art take up the bulk of the video. One of my oldest vore works was even called a "classic" and I'm strangely flattered.

The video's all in good fun, so I highly encourage you watch it. I found it pretty amusing myself; the author had trouble keeping a straight face reading my stories.

I'd like to issue a request nobody white knight me, just in case. I enjoyed the video on its own merits. Vore is a very strange fetish in fairness, and it's fun to look from the outside in sometimes.

Revised commission rates! (Updated March 2018)

Stories - Example

My current rate for stories is $1 per 100 words, with a 1000-word minimum; this is about 2 pages on average. Running over is complementary within reason.

If you would be interested, please send me a note with any details, and I can get you a quote if there are no issues with content, and I feel confident writing it. For some examples, I am not comfortable writing:

-Female predators in vore
-Sexual interaction between a minor and an adult, or involving any sexually immature character. Characters who are canonically minor are okay if I can age them up for the work.
-Excessively young prey in vore; if there are young prey, the situation must not be sexual

Other than that, I am open to a wide range of content and it does not hurt to ask! Bear in mind my specialty is fanwork, but stories with original characters and universes are welcome.

Sketches - Example

Currently, I do not offer color.

Sketches are about $5 per character, though very complex characters may merit a slight increase. A belly bulge does not count as a character, nor does something like feet sticking out of a pred's mouth.

Comics are possible, and will see an adjusted rate based on $5 per character per panel based on complexity.

For longer commissions, I will send you regular clips from your commission for your review, and also to reassure you I am working on it.

I have several payment methods:

1. You can pay me up front. Preferred for shorter commissions.
2. You pay me as I produce more work; this is preferable for longer commissions, like 10,000 word stories.
3. You can send me a list of possible commission ideas, and send me a block payment to serve as "credit." So long as I have the credit, I will continue to regularly work on your ideas.
