Happy 2024!
Posted 2 years agoIt's officially 2024, which means Earth has survived yet another orbit around our nearest star!
Here's hoping the coming year will not be a reboot of 2020.
Also, this is kind of a test for Postybirb. Apparently there is a Linux version.
Let's see how this works.

Let's Make a Christmas Wishlist!
Posted 3 years agoNot that I'm actually expecting anyone to get me any of the wishlisted items, but what's the harm in making one?
So, the wishlist:
- 2nd Generation XP Pen Artist 13.3
That's it. The whole wishlist.
Yeah, I could've written "I want my own apartment" or some other crazy unachievable thing, but it wouldn't be something close to my heart that I wish for. Just regular life goals.
Anyway, that's the once-in-a-blue-moon journal update done, have a wonderful day.

I am 29
Posted 3 years agoPoverty, homelessness, dysentery, violent junky hippies, COVID-19, an entire war happening almost next door, micro singularities, undetectable asteroids, DNA destroying cosmic rays, and the total collapse of the higgs field. All things that could've killed me, or at the very least maimed me for life, and yet in complete defiance of all that I've made it through 29 full orbits of Earth around our nearest star. Alive. Relatively unscathed. In one piece.
That alone should be considered an achievement. I guess that's why we celebrate birthdays. I sure do.

2021: Year in Review
Posted 4 years agoNumbers of COVID deaths are increasing. There is now an Omicron variant. Sars-Cov-2 appears to be simply endemic now, according to experts. My own parents believe it's just a conspiracy.
BUT...
Despite all that negativity, 2021 has been very productive on my end:
-
I increased my commission prices, which has had a very positive reception. I no longer have to burn myself out drawing a pile of commissions in a month just to cover the power cost of drawing said commission in the first place!
For those who aren't aware yet, I created an updated price sheet here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/42581317/
Over the past year I had three people request or ask if I had a Trello to track my commissions with. Well, now I do! Which can be found here: https://trello.com/b/cWh9gcJq/commissions
-
2021 was also the 20th anniversary of Bionicle!
Yes, it's been two decades already since the epic story driven LEGO toy first hit store shelves with all its weird and mysterious elements, and to this day the fandom is still very alive. Thriving, even.
I couldn't just be a sideline spectator, so I contributed my own work to the Bionicle community in the form of Project Inquilina.
You can find the video of the project here: https://youtu.be/JzFZr2V0SnM
-
I'm still working on my game, Nach.
In 2021 I managed to solve a problem that had me banging my head against the wall for over half a year!
Player state machine!
But thanks to some online help I managed to finally crack the problem and create various character and trap states for my game project.
This is all very basic stuff to anyone who is a programming regular. But I'm not. I'm art and design oriented. I can make characters and animations quite easily, but writing code just isn't intuitive for me at all. So having solved this feels like finally getting rid of that annoying little stone in your shoe after having walked several kilometers.
You can see the video of Nach here: https://youtu.be/i6KF1Kk-Y20
I also got a Trello to track the development of Nach: https://trello.com/b/ihjFTpow/nach-development
-
Just Eat started using E-Bikes, which has made my job a whole lot easier. Imagine cycling down-hill. Well, that's what it feels like to cycle on an E-Bike.
I also got fully vaccinated in 2021 and recently got invited by the State's Serum Institute to get my booster shot.

2022, LOOKING FORWARD
The first piece of art of 2022 is already done, and it's of my boy Felix, showing off all his technical details (something I've always wanted to do). Check it out here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45328224/
Besides that, I got commission work to do. 3 nude ref sheets and 1 hot spicy scene. Moreover, as per the results of the pol in this journal it looks like I'll be creating a Valentine's themed NSFW YCH piece. I still have to create the background and all the position slots, but once that's done I'll be making an announcement, so keep your eyes peeled if you're interested.
-
Project Inquilina still needs extras. When I created the main files of the project I included only half the masks, and mostly Noble versions. The next step with Project Inquilina would be to complete all the main masks, and then we'll see if I feel like adding more masks (like the dead versions of the Metru masks).
-
Nach needs more development. The next major hurdle would be implementing things such as AI and track-to-nearest.
Once those two things are done, I believe, the most of the difficult programming elements would be done.
If you're a programmer and would like to help out, however, you'd be more than welcome!
-
Well, that's that for the journal. Here's hoping that the problems we've had in 2021 will be solved or not as sever in 2022. I'm seeing a lot of developments happening in the worker's market...
I wish everyone a great start to this year!

Would you like a Valentine's YCH? (remake)
Posted 4 years agoI've been rolling this idea around in my head for a month or two now.
I'm very tempted to do a Valentine's themed YCH with about 8 characters or so in a single scene. But I'm wondering how I should do it.
Should it be porn? 4 furry couples in a park somewhere having some loving sex together on a sunny spring afternoon.
Or should it be kept SFW? Just something romantic with no innuendo or nudity in sight?
Should I do it at all? Because if I were to make a YCH and be relatively on-time for Valentine's it would mean my other commission work will slow down.
So, I decided to make a strawpoll.
- YCH will be M/F couples, whether it be SFW or NSFW.
- Price per slot would be 45 USD. No auctions. First come first serve.
- SFW or NSFW or if I will be doing this at all will depend entirely on the results of the poll.
Poll is here: https://strawpoll.com/c5a53994f

Trello Board(s)
Posted 4 years agoI decided to start using Trello for a few things. Well, this decision came a while ago, but I'm writing it up on here too.
First one is probably most interesting to people that frequent my page or have commissioned me; I have a Trello board that tracks the commissions that I'm doing.
It can be seen here:
https://trello.com/b/cWh9gcJq/commissions
The cards and categories should all be pretty self explanatory, but I'll elaborate anyway:
- The "Completed" column is for everything I have finished as of the start of the Trello board.
- The "Currently Doing" column is for the art I'm busy with right now. It'll only ever have one card in it at a time as I always only do one commission at a time.
- The "Paid" column is all the art that's actually on the list for doing. The one at the very top will be the one I'm doing next after the current one is done.
- The "Payment Pending" column is for ideas for commissions people throw at me but that still await payment to be put on the list of things I'll be doing. I won't be doing those even if the "Currently Doing" list is empty. It's more as a reminder for me or the customer, a place to save what we talked about for when the customer is ready to pay without having to scroll up in Discord for several centuries.
I also got a second Trello board that tracks the development of my game Nach.
You can find it here:
https://trello.com/b/ihjFTpow/nach-development
This board is more useful for me and Remo who are actually working on making the game. It's a place where I put up all the things I need to work on for the game to be... well... a game.
However, I know from game projects of other developers that sometimes people would like to track how the game's development is going by seeing the Trello board, so here it is.

ART COMPETITION, it's still here
Posted 4 years agoJust a reminder for those interested; I'm still hosting an art competition with a chance for 3 people to win a game key.

ART COMPETITION (CHANCE TO WIN A GAME!!)
Posted 4 years agoReason for This Competition
I have been a Humble Bundle subscriber for quite a while now. Despite that I haven't been able to stay subbed for EVERY month since 2019, I still have a pile of unclaimed keys for games that I either already own or have no interest in. These games range from small indie titles, quirky jank games, fun party games, to some pretty big names.
I'm pretty sure someone will find something they'd be interested in on the list and I thought it would be nice and fun to give away keys as a competition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
HOW TO ENTER:
- First, check out the list of games on this google doc.
The list is divided into months, the number in brackets next to the month being the amount of games from that month I can still give away.
Make sure you know what you're choosing! Watch a YouTube video. Read a review. Once you got a key there are no take-backs!!
You can choose 3 keys from the list. You will win only one, so be sure to make it clear in what order of priority the games are.
- Comment on this journal below with the game you want to have and your entry into the competition.
The theme of this competition is: Fun at the beach. You will draw one or multiple of your OCs/Sona(s) on a beach doing... beach stuff (can be sunbathing, swimming, making a sandcastle... whatever).
- The deadline is August 16th.
That's when I'll choose the winners.
HOW TO WIN:
- Make no mistake; this is not a raffle!! So bring your out your A-game and give it your best shot.
I will pick 3 artworks I like best and they will each receive a key.
- The only time a dice-throw will be used is if there are multiple people with cool artwork gunning for the same game key.
RULES:
- No porn!
I will allow risque and suggestive stuff, but straight up NSFW art is not allowed in this competition.
(Maybe I'll do a future competition that's NSFW, but that depends on how this one goes).
- Submitted art MUST be on-theme!
Remember, it's fun at the beach! So the art must feature the location where dirt meets water!
Dirt being sand and water being an ocean.
- You may choose 3 games from the list you'd like to have, but you will only win ONE!
I'm doing it like this in the case of overlap. There are indeed some bigger titles on the list that multiple people will likely go for, so choosing three games gives you two games to fall back on if the initial game gets taken by someone else.
- There are no take-backs!
Once you get a key, that's it.
It's up to you to make sure the game you've won is a game you'd want, and there are plenty of ways to do that.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And that's it!
If you have any questions do not be afraid to ask in the comment section below.
May the best artist win!

Back From Holidays (and other things)
Posted 4 years agoAnd holy shit I got 1013 artworks to view in my feed.
Damn...
Also, typing on a QWERTY keyboard after 3 weeks in France is feeling a little weird, but I'll get over it. XD
While there I didn't get to upload anything or continue any of the commissions I hoped to do. My drawing tablet couldn't connect to the laptop over there and they had... dailup internet. Or some equivalent.
I mean, it's SUPPOSED to be a normal connection, but all it could manage was 200KB/s of down speed... on a GOOD day.
Uploading was even worse, so when I tried uploading an image here FA ended up just giving me a time-out error! XD
But besides all that, I have had fun with my family. I hadn't seen them in so long and it was good to finally be with them for a while. We did things like going to the beach, going to the valley river, climbing up the mountain (getting sunburned), taking photos of all the butterflies. The area is beautiful, especially at this time of year, flowers in bloom everywhere and colouful insects hanging around them.
While I was there, though, I also had a good think about my commission prices. I decided I'm going to increase them 3x. There just isn't really any other way.
I've looked at artists of similar skill to me and the prices they ask (painstakingly. Yay mountain internet. XD) and 90 USD is still well below average from what is asked for a full body, full colour, full shaded character.
Environment, scenery and ref sheet prices will also increase, a full price sheet will be uploaded later this week.
I'll stress this again in case people get the wrong idea; Those that are currently on my list don't have to pay any extra. Just all future commissions will cost extra.
If you can't afford me but still want to support me; my basic Patreon level is only 2 USD which will give access to most of the stuff I upload there, including a month early on NSFW stuff.
https://www.patreon.com/Tattorack
But there's no rest for the weary. I'm not even a day home and I already have to do my day job then in my free time I'll crunch out some commissions on the list.
Speaking of which:
- Tsiica: His other nude dragon scene. All it requires is colours and shading. Should be done pretty fast.
- Jovial: Ref sheet.
- Odyssey: Ref sheet.
- Tsiica: Scene with character
- Inari: Character.
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a nice day, I'm out.
Busy busy busy!

Commission Status and Prices
Posted 4 years agoGot some house-keeping to do so that people won't be left in the dark. This journal is important to those that have commissioned me in the past and/or are currently on my commission list.
Without any further fluff, let's dig in.
My current list is as follows:
Tsiica
- Nude quadrapedal female dragon presenting herself, in a cave filled with treasure with
falling water in the background. Tail and butt up.
Jovial
- Avali character reference sheet. Galaxy in right eye, normal left eye.
Odyssey
- Timber Wolf character reference sheet. 20 yo. Muscular/athletic. 274cm tall. Bright blue/icy eyes.
Nude and clothed versions:
Clothed; Flak jacket, bare-armed. Ripped camo pants. Holding shotgun.
Nude; Black fur all over. Sizable knotted penis 25.4cm and large testicles.
Two expression faces; Angry snarling and looking lovingly down at someone.
Tsiica
- His female protogen leaning on her sword in a tired and worn manner in the aftermath of a great battle. The scene is a molten magma world with damage of the fight clear in the immediate surroundings.
A shattered moon hangs in the sky.
Inari
- A quadrupedal male 9 tailed fox sitting down and looking at the viewer. Snow-white fur
for the most part with black fur on the tail tips and on the ends of his paws. Has blue eyes.

Qorto (patreon)

That's a lot of stuff that needs to be done, and there is coming one slight wrinkle:
On the 29th this month I'll be traveling to France to visit my family there. Due to the previous job I had and then later on COVID-19 I hadn't had the chance of seeing them for over 3 years. But with my new job giving me holidays and with COVID-19 becoming a more stably managed problem I've taken the opportunity to finally go see my siblings again, as I've missed them and they've missed me a lot.
I'll be taking my laptop and my drawing tablet, both being small enough to fit in hand baggage... more or less. However, this does mean that me finishing work on my list will be slowed down.
There are still 2 weeks and I'm hoping to be done with Tsiica's last pin-up scene before I go.
For now my commissions are also closed. Although travel is not the main reason for that...
PRICES...
This... is going to be the interesting part of the journal, one where I hope to get feedback on, because...
Recently my landlord has increased the price of my rent to accommodate the price increase of power usage. Now... "landlord" is a rather strong word here. Me and a few others are essentially sharing a house and it's in his name, but my computer is apparently consuming enough power that it's putting strain on the original distribution of costs.
My rent has increased by 500 Danish Kroner, which roughly translates into 82 United States Dollars. My rent now takes up 75% of everything that I make from my job, leaving me with very little to use on personal bills (i.e. my phone bill) and food. I basically run completely out of money before the month is over and that's with strictly rationing what I spend on food.
Making money on the side with art commissions was a life saver if all I had to spend on it was time. But now simply turning on the computer is costing me 500dkk, so in order to make drawing commissions worth it I need to make more than 500dkk every month.
I could take in as many commissions as possible, but the current stack of commissions are already taking me more than a month to complete, so I'm actively losing money making them, to about the ring of 100 to 200dkk. So giving myself more work, which will take longer to complete, completely defeats the purpose.
I'm a cheap artist. For the hours of work I put into drawing a single character, I am dirt cheap. Let's not pretend here, I ask waaayy below the minimum wage. Looking at other artists of my skill level and the prices they ask I could easily ask 200 USD or more for a full body, shaded and coloured.
But the main issue is, of course, reach. How well do people know me?
Well... most of my returning customers are attracted to my art because of how cheap it is. They can't afford higher prices. The circle of these people is also very VERY small. At most... 14... I think.
And outside of them?
Nobody knows me.
I've been posting my art to the internet for 9 years now. That's nearly a whole decade. Mostly original aliens and spaceships first, but slowly getting replaced by furry commissions. And in all that time my reach has never been beyond 20-odd people. That doesn't make for a very wide and variable audience. Meaning that if I change my prices to something that they cannot afford (which is literally anything above what I got currently) I will risk losing them and be left with nothing. No side-income at all.
I was hoping that doing the Sergal Server commission (the one with loads of characters in a space bar) would make a large enough splash. But either because the time it took to complete or the fact all the people together had the stability of a card-castle balanced on a pinhead, it didn't. And like everything else I post on the internet, it only got marginally noticed.
I also have a Patreon. Had it now for 2 years active. And in those 2 years it had grown to... 4 subscribers.
If I could make enough money from Pateon just to pay for my computer's power consumption (which would require just 50 people subbed to my lowest tier. A very tiny number of people in comparison to Patreon) I could just keep my prices as they are now.
But just like everything else I do, my Patreon doesn't have reach, and when I try promoting it on servers and such I generally get met with annoyed groans.
So that's my current dilemma.
I can't make enough money from my current commission prices to literally keep my computer turned on to do them.
But increasing my commission prices will push away almost every regular customer I have, with an almost guaranteed zero chance of replacing them with people who could afford new prices.
And what would I even increase my prices to? I was thinking just a flat 2x increase on everything, but... will that even be enough? Should I push it to 3x?
Ugh...
Either way, until I have an answer to the problem, my commissions are closed.
(P.S. obviously not gonna demand that people that are already on the list to pay more for stuff they already paid for. Just saying in case anyone gets worried I'm a dick or something. XD)
Without any further fluff, let's dig in.
My current list is as follows:
Tsiica
- Nude quadrapedal female dragon presenting herself, in a cave filled with treasure with
falling water in the background. Tail and butt up.
Jovial
- Avali character reference sheet. Galaxy in right eye, normal left eye.
Odyssey
- Timber Wolf character reference sheet. 20 yo. Muscular/athletic. 274cm tall. Bright blue/icy eyes.
Nude and clothed versions:
Clothed; Flak jacket, bare-armed. Ripped camo pants. Holding shotgun.
Nude; Black fur all over. Sizable knotted penis 25.4cm and large testicles.
Two expression faces; Angry snarling and looking lovingly down at someone.
Tsiica
- His female protogen leaning on her sword in a tired and worn manner in the aftermath of a great battle. The scene is a molten magma world with damage of the fight clear in the immediate surroundings.
A shattered moon hangs in the sky.
Inari
- A quadrupedal male 9 tailed fox sitting down and looking at the viewer. Snow-white fur
for the most part with black fur on the tail tips and on the ends of his paws. Has blue eyes.
Osuenn (patreon)
- Unknown
Qorto (patreon)
- Unknown
That's a lot of stuff that needs to be done, and there is coming one slight wrinkle:
On the 29th this month I'll be traveling to France to visit my family there. Due to the previous job I had and then later on COVID-19 I hadn't had the chance of seeing them for over 3 years. But with my new job giving me holidays and with COVID-19 becoming a more stably managed problem I've taken the opportunity to finally go see my siblings again, as I've missed them and they've missed me a lot.
I'll be taking my laptop and my drawing tablet, both being small enough to fit in hand baggage... more or less. However, this does mean that me finishing work on my list will be slowed down.
There are still 2 weeks and I'm hoping to be done with Tsiica's last pin-up scene before I go.
For now my commissions are also closed. Although travel is not the main reason for that...
PRICES...
This... is going to be the interesting part of the journal, one where I hope to get feedback on, because...
Recently my landlord has increased the price of my rent to accommodate the price increase of power usage. Now... "landlord" is a rather strong word here. Me and a few others are essentially sharing a house and it's in his name, but my computer is apparently consuming enough power that it's putting strain on the original distribution of costs.

2020: Year in review
Posted 5 years agoAnd what a year it has been!
I remember looking forward to 2020, with 2019 being an all round awful year. Christian Faber had been teasing Bionicle things for a very long time and eventually we even got a date for something. I was also going to get a chance at entering a 3D design course at a university, a possible career setting prospect. A long time friend was planning on making a visit to Copenhagen all the way from Romania. I had spent a wonderful new years celebration that time visiting the family of a beautiful girl. Yes, 2020 was going to be an improvement over 2019.
Then it started with SARS-COV-19. Everything went tits up. No classes, no Bionicle, no summer visits from friends, no holidays to visit my family in France. People getting knee-jerk panic reactions to the pandemic and emptying supermarkets of the most useless things. People not taking the pandemic seriously and endangering others. People flat out denying the pandemic is real, amounting the situation to yet another conspiracy theory. The effects of climate change setting everyone's back yards on fire amidst the outcries that climate change isn't a concern or isn't even real. Racist, corrupt policemen killing black people in the most fucked up way possible, resulting in a completely useless riot that achieved absolutely nothing. The biggest irony being the charities that popped up to help black owned businesses rebuild after the Black Lives Matter riots destroyed them. The areas that decided to police themselves but ended up in complete anarchy with literal murder happening. "Let's replace the police and be better than them" they said, while proceeding to be much worse than the police. China being China to Hong Kong. That's still happening, by the way. Star Trek still being owned by CBS, a company completely bereft of any inventive, inspirational and progressive talent of any kind. My potential future girlfriend parting ways because apparently what I had to offer wasn't good enough for her. That was shortly after I had spent two whole weeks of my life trying to create the most advanced painting I've ever made, testing my theories and pushing my skills to the limits, to make what was essentially a stylised portrait of her for her birthday. Not to mention the money I was saving to plan for a second date. That money went into bicycle maintenance.
I'm sitting here trying to think of something, ANYTHING, truly positive that has happened in 2020, but it's really hard... Nigh on impossible. Especially after the day before yesterday (at the time of writing) my bicycle got stolen right when I was starting my work shift. It was the last work shift of 2020, the potential for a nice fat bonus, ultimately securing my ability to upgrade my PC in January. But I need my bicycle for my job, and it got stolen in the 4 to 5 minutes I spent in a Lidl to buy a bottle of water.
No, 2020 was not a good year. Not for the world and not for myself. Nothing went right. Nothing went smoothly. Personally I've achieved very little of anything this year.
I simply... Made do.
For more neutral things:
I'm still working on a large commission for a Discord server full of Sergals. While the concept and payment was done in autumn 2019, actual drawing started at the start of 2020 in January. Before that people were still deciding where all the characters were supposed to go.
This means on the 1st it will have been in progress for a whole year. Barring some minor edits, I want to focus on actually completing it, so I won't be taking commissions until it's done.
Once the Sergal Server commission is done I'm going to hunt for a programmer. Something I was hoping to achieve much with this year was Nach, the game project I spent years struggling to bring to life. But I'm far better with designing and concepting than I'm with programming, so large portions of the time were spent on banging my head against a wall.
Those are the plans for 2021. I so hope it's going to be a better year...

GLÆDELIG JUL!!
Posted 5 years agoI wish everyone a merry christmas, however you celebrate it, from the original pagan way to the modernized corporate way.
While most who read this likely will have to celebrate these days in isolation due to the pandemic still haunting the Earth, I do hope there is still some merriment to be had.
Make yourselves some hot chocolate! Drink some spiced wine! Call the friends and family who couldn't come! Snug yourself in a blanket and enjoy a classic movie!
Share some christmas themed art!
Wherever you are, whoever you are and whatever you may be doing:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Current state of commissions
Posted 5 years agoI got at least one person on FA who's waiting for a commission so I feel obligated to give an update on the list now that one has been knocked off.
So, this is what the list of commissions look like right now:
Kona - NSFW. His character leaning back, legs wide, tail in mouth.
Rusty - Various.
LittleMercury - His synth being comically threatening. "Peace was never an option"
Menarra - NSFW. Tactical snake ref sheet with lewd stuff.
The Sergal Server Commission.

Well, It's my Birthday
Posted 5 years agoToday I'm 27 years old. I have survived another 365 days on the little wet rock whizzing about in space we call "Earth" (whoever was responsible for the naming of our planet wasn't the most inventive person for sure). 27 years old and I still... don't feel any more grown up then my age would suggest. One whole orbit was completed and I'm still alive, somehow. Considering what I've been put through in all that time it's quite the achievement.
But lets see what happened in all that time then:
- I've been rejected from university, twice. One digital design course (they said I wasn't talented enough) and one 3D design course (they no longer had any place left). Now with coronavirus haunting the 2020s getting into uni this year will even be harder.
- In Autumn of 2019 I was given the biggest commission to do I've ever been given. It's still not done. ^^;
However it's certainly something that lets me flex all my skills on.
- I got a place to live where I could set up my PC once more, retrieve my game files and restart my game project again. Now Nach has found a new home in the Godot engine, although it's still VERY early on and learning coding while also doing everything else on the game is a bit of a chore. But it's coming along, if slowly.
- Work has been... hard. I work for Wolt, food delivery by bicycle, and COVID-19 has made people lose most of their jobs and other incomes. These people have used Wolt as a fallback to keep afloat, which means a lot more couriers... but not enough work schedules to go around. Keeping afloat myself has been... tricky.
- In December, before the whole corona stuff hit Denmark, I asked someone out on a date! For the first time ever! It didn't go EXACTLY as planned but I had an amazing time and I believe so did she. Now I just need to figure out how to go on another date with her. First the COVID-19 stuff needs to go away, then I need to see if work gets better so I can save up again. And then... who knows?
Those are about the highlights I can think of in the 365 days leading up to my 27th birthday. That's... not a lot of stuff happening in a whole year but then my life isn't super eventful either.
But hey, I'm not complaining!
I'm still alive and I got plans on achieving things before the year is done!
Anyway, that's it from me.
Hope it's as awesome a day as it is over here right now!

GO AND NO-GO FETISH LIST
Posted 6 years agoI thought it would be a good idea to make a comprehensive list of NSFW things that I will and won't draw. Whenever anyone has a question I'll just refer them to this journal.
Specifically, these are kinks and situations where something is requested for things involving sex. One or two of these I wouldn't have trouble drawing if it doesn't involve lewdness.
DO NOT TRY TO ARGUE ABOUT THE FETISHES UNDER THE “NOPE” SECTION.
Oh myyy!
These are the things I'm into myself. I'll probably enjoy drawing these a lot.
-Multiple Orgasms
-Teasing
-Original Characters
-Females
-Cervical Penetration
-Vaginal sex (including any kind of foreplay concerning the vagina/clit)
-Internal Cumshot
-Vanilla Sex
-Extreme Tightness
-Consensual
-Cuddling
-Size Difference (within a certain margin, as long as it's not micro/macro)
-Larger Male (same caveat as Size Difference)
-Straight Stuff
Meh.
These are things I'm indifferent to or don't have much of an effect on me. No problems drawing these.
-Ahegao (as long as it doesn't get absolutely ridiculous like some hentai gets, with drool and snot dripping everywhere).
-Aphrodisiacs
-Condoms
-Breeding
-Polyamory
-Crotch Sniffing
-Flexibility/Contortionism
-Ice
-Heat/Rut
-Titfucking
-Toys
-BDSM (and related activities, including Dom/Sub play)
-Musk
-Foot Fetish (weird, but ok, whatever)
-Bulging (as in; where a particularly large member causes the receiver to get a small belly bulge).
-Tickling (although this is basically like teasing).
-Age difference (within a reasonable margin I'll find it acceptable. But it gets rather very uncomfortable if a 40 year old is busy with a 15 year old. As a rule of thumb, for younger characters under 20 make sure the age gap isn't larger than 5 years).
-Anal sex (including foreplay activities concerning the anus)
-Virginity
-Oral sex
-Unusual/Exotic cum
-Double penetration
-Knotting
-Tail Sex
Open for discussion.
These are ones that I prefer not to do, probably very likely wont do, but I'll at least hear you out on it. Although don't expect me to actually go through with it.
-Not Straight Stuff
-Food Play (This DOES NOT include overeating and getting fat)
-Canon Characters (in example; characters from a franchise. This includes fan characters).
-Disabilities (as long as they're not mental disabilities it's kinda ok).
-Femboys
- Gore/guro/gutting
-Multi Genitalia
-Multiple Breasts
-Tentacles
-Pregnancy
-Toons
-Udders
-Younger Characters (There is a very fine line here where it can easily end up in pedophilia)
-Quadrupeds (Not to be mistaken with ferals)
-Feral Animals (more specifically, those species from the Animalia kingdom that have not yet reached a sapient level of cognitive abilities. Refer to the Harkness Test)
-Fisting
-Cum Inflation.
-Triple or More Penetration
-Gangbang
-Adultery (Not to be mistaken with open relationships)
-Incest
NOPE!
These are ones I will never do under ANY circumstance.

-Cuntboys
-Futanari/Herms/Shemales

-None Standard Penetration
-Sounding
-Urethra Play

I Got Patreon!
Posted 6 years agoWell, for anyone who cares, I got a Patreon page which can be found here:
https://www.patreon.com/Tattorack
One of my friends convinced me to open one so there it is ^^
I still don't think much will come of it, but who knows?
Anyway, what are the benefits of become a patron? Well, you'll get to see WIPs, sketches, be part of votes, get 3D files of my projects, get dev builds of projects... basically anything I can think of to make it worth while. At this very moment there is not a lot, but I've been posting some stuff already and will continue to do so as I work on my various projects.
Be advised, though, for those who might not know yet, I also make NSFW art which will most certainly be posted on Patreon earlier than everywhere else.

No longer a favourite...
Posted 6 years agoToday is a sad day. Today I remove 
meg. from my favourite artists and watch list.
She'll probably end up blocking me here too, but that doesn't matter anymore. I dunno, maybe I'll just block her myself and get it over with. I just can't respect someone who chooses to block people over simply not agreeing with them.
No arguments, no insults, I was simply seeing things differently. Meg over on twitter raised a concern about someone likely "heavily referencing" her artwork for a specific piece, involving a guy and a gal, the back seat of a car and lots of licking. Who knows, maybe it was heavily referenced and I'm wrong but I'm not one to jump to any worst or best conclusions without first eliminating other possibilities. And here's the thing, it isn't exactly an uncommon thing seeing characters do that in exactly that position. Seen it plenty of times in Anime. Almost exactly in every way as Meg drew it. The closest example I could find that was furry was that piece by Demicoeur of two characters doing the exact same thing, in the exact same place. The biggest change being the slightly different "camera" angle.
Saying as much to her got me blocked.
Another person who disagreed with her (respectfully) also got blocked.
So she shows her true colours; a person who wants to be surrounded by people that never question anything, who agree with everything she agrees with and disagree with everything she disagrees with. A fan base of yes-men.
I refuse to be a yes-man for any reason. It's the death of critical thinking.
If that means I'm not a fan then so be it.

A Journal Entry, Finally
Posted 6 years agoI am so garbage at keeping an active journal. Not that I have many people to write to but I should at least try to keep it going ^^;
Anyway, what has happened to me over the past few months besides the slow trickle of occasional commissions?
Yeah, Endgame came out! That was a great wrap up to a long running series of movies. Some YouTubers have predicted that this could mean the end of the superhero genre, since it reached its peak with Endgame, meaning the only way to go is down. Well, we'll see.
One not so great ending was the last season of Game of Thrones. I don't have any problems with the things most people seem to have problems with, but the whole season certainly felt rushed as all hell. I'm just hoping that George RR Martin actually gets to finish A Song of Ice and Fire before his health (or lack there of) catches up to him.
As for real life stuff. I had sent in my CV to NEXT, a kind of designer school. Digital Design was the class, all about learning how to make things like logos and such. I got rejected. Well fuck. I don't have anything to do after summer now.
I'm going to send in my CV to Digital Content Creation after I've made some 3D stuff to show off, but that class starts in 2020.
At least I have a job... of sorts. Food delivery on bicycle. It can pay for rent so I'm fine with it.
The new shiny system on FA seems interesting, but I doubt it'll help me in any way. This will only end up "helping" the most popular artists that already live from their Patreon subscribers.But I'll throw it up on my page anyway. I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but I'm pessimistic.
That's about.... everything I have right now.Until next time, I guess XD

Posted 7 years agoArtist Spotlight: Tai
Posted 7 years ago
Tai_lung is an artist that makes wonderful clean lined cell shaded artwork.His qualities are his choice of unsaturated, natural looking colours even on characters with "unrealistic" fur colours and his scene lighting which gives an almost HDR feel to his art.
He draws mostly erotic art, so fair warning of what you can expect from his gallery, but even if you'd not be into that sort of stuff, his artwork is also good to look at from a pure technical standpoint.
Recently he has opened a new Patreon tier where you can unlock and read his comics for just $1 per month. His Patreon account can be found at: https://www.patreon.com/Tai_L_RodRigueZ/posts
I highly suggest you check him out.
