With the sad news of Dragoneers passing and the uncertain fate of FurAffinity now is probably a good time to set roots in other spots just in case.

Right now for my kinky stuff there is only one other spot where you can find my art which is: https://x.com/TempestusVulpis

I am aware that twitter is not a fan favorite and I am looking for other places that are adult friendly. If you have any good recommendations please hit me up below. Anything that involves me having to actively moderate is unfortunately off the table. I just do not have the time to dedicate nor the money to pay for someone else too. That being said any insight is appreciated. :)

Alright... now that it is way past the deadline of when I said I would bring this update and I have finally had a chance to let the dust settle I get to have the "privilege" of delivering all the bad news. Because when I was first going to do this it was just one thing but now its two (just to complete the trifecta I guess :/ ).

Lets start off with the first part. Due to the nature of where I work I am on probation for a year (not to uncommon) and unfortunately one of the clauses in this probation is that I cannot have side jobs until after the probation is complete. This includes my freelance work (commissions, and yes I did get this clarified). Thankfully payment was completed for my current sfw commission just before I started so that one can be completed with no issues. However, there are still 2 more nsfw illustrations and a handful of sketches that have not yet been completed and I am left in a difficult position. Right now I have two possible solutions: one is that I cancel all of the current commissions that I am not currently working on in this batch (no payment taken yet so no worries I guess) and give priority to those who had been selected in a future queue, and the other is to simply put a hold on this queue until 03/14/23 when my probation ends (no work gets done, but again no payment is taken nor asked for). Obviously I hate both options as I love art and doing commissions is fun for me as it gives me a variety of characters to work with and try out themes I may not have thought of before, but unfortunately my new job actually pays my bills and allows me to have the ability to purchase new things (this is foreshadowing) compared to what I was making with commission work. With that in mind I would like to choose the latter solution of putting the current queue on hold until I have the opportunity to complete it. If you are a commissioner in this queue and you are no longer interested in purchasing a commission from me I understand. Any commissioner who wishes to cancel this commission may by all rights and I will not hold any penalty against them should they wish to apply for a commission from my in the future. I would like to offer a priority to anyone who does or needs to cancel from this batch in a future batch as a sincere apology for this. I never saw it coming and I hate that it comes to this.

Now for problem two. My current computer tower is currently down for repairs/replacement. BUT there is a silver lining here! I was able to pull off all current and previous commission files safely and store them on an external hard drive so thank fucking god for that... I have already reached out to the company I bought the tower from and they are looking to see if the parts are in stock to repair the damage. Obviously that is the faster solution if they do have the parts I need, but I have also put in an order for a new computer as well and for that I can give a rough estimate on when I will have the ability to finish my current commission and get back to at the very least posting art for you guys. Right now if the rush order goes through it will be 5-7 business days (probably 2-3 more for shipping) and if not then it will probably be 14-21 business days (same addition for shipping). Whether it be 7 or 21 though I will be a bit depressed for a while since I dont have my usual outlets for creativity and just relaxing with friends who are not same state. But as I mentioned before, at least the only thing lost right now is time and money, not the uncountable hours of work I put into my current and previous commission files, honestly losing those and all my reference images I have saved would have been crushing...

I guess that just about covers the bad news new and old I had to deliver so let me switch from problems to solutions... In the absence of commissions (and once I get access to a working computer be it repaired or new) I plan to still do art. While I cant make money on it I sure as fuck am not going to give up on one of the things that brings me some form of joy. So whether that be working on more personal illustrations or on the nsfw RLD comic I still plan on doing artwork. And while I cant make money on art right now, there is nothing stopping me from shaking things up a bit with possible free sketch raffles or something(anything to just break up the "back to your usually scheduled programming" that can cause burnout). Right now with the computer down and out for the count I think I will see what I can rustle up with traditional media. It wont be much but it will help fill the new void in my time an heart.

Well, I guess that is it... hopefully this is the last of the bad news I have to give you for a while... no I will not be taking donations. I make my money through work and that is good enough for me. I will very much miss doing commission work for a while but hopefully I can get my computer back up and running soon to finish my current commission and keep art coming out for you guys. Thank you so much for sticking with me.

If you are a current commissioner and need to reach out to me or have any questions regarding this please reach out to me here or on telegram.

I am not gone yet, not by a longshot... but some speed bumps turnout to have pits right behind them.

Thank you again so much.

I will try and update tomorrow if I get the time.

Hey everyone,

As much as I love doing art as my primary job, financially it does not cover as much as it used to. I will be starting a regular job tomorrow which means that I will have less time on work days to do art and work on commissions on the days I work. No, I am not quitting art, but I do have to make it my side hustle for a time. For those on my commission queue right now, that means that unfortunately the wait got a little longer. I WILL eventually get to you. I will not be taking on more commissions or adjusting prices in the middle of the queue. If due to the extended wait means your own circumstances has changed and you are not able to do the commission at that time you are more than welcome to still sign up for a commission slot in a future queue.

My current plan as it stands is to work on small warmup and practice projects on the days I work my new job (I wont have much time on those days and I don't want any work attitude to affect commission work). The days I have off I will work my usual morning to afternoon art schedule or being and or be spending time with my boyfriend and friends. I will still do my best to answer any questions I receive in a timely fashion but for obvious reasons I may be delayed in responding. When working with a commissioner I will be sure to inform them what days I will be able to work with them on their commission to make sure they understand what is going on and daily updates for the commissioner will still occur on those days.

Thank you for your interest and patience. Hope you all are doing well.

Here is the queue I selected for this batch of commissions. Thank you everyone who filled out a form! :) I wish I could have taken all of the forms, all it would cost is half a year of time and probably burnout xd. If I did not take your commission this time it is not because I did not like the theme so feel free to save that idea for a future form if you are still interested :D

These are in no particular order, instead of going down the list I will be hopping around (the goal is prevent burnout so instead of trying to predict how I will feel in the future I will give myself the opportunities

Here is the Queue for sticker commissions. If I end up messaging a commissioner at a inopportune time just let me know so I can start work with another commissioner during that time so I can keep the pace going (this will not remove you from the queue so dont worry about being booted, life comes first and notifying me allows me to use my time effectively). Just give me a good time to get in contact with you and we will work it out from there! Other than that information here is the queue.

Hey Everyone!

Here are the selected commissions for the queue, thank you everyone who took the time to fill out a form. :) I will be taking less commissions this time around so that I can get through a commission batch quickly and prevent burnout by created massive months long commission queues. So while in the short term this looks like smaller queues, hopefully in the long term it means I can get to more commissions by having more reasonable goals. :3

That being said, here is the queue.

Hey Everyone!

Here is the Queue for sticker commissions. I decided to just take the whole set of sticker commissions as a stress test of sorts. My hopeful plan is to complete this whole list within a month (or at most a month and a half although I would really love to get it done in a month) so clear and quick communication with commissioners will be key. If I end up messaging a commissioner at a inopportune time just let me know so I can start work with another commissioner during that time so I can keep the pace going (this will not remove you from the queue so dont worry about being booted, life comes first and notifying me allows me to use my time effectively).

Hey Everyone!

I am opening up my first sticker commission queue today! I have updated to the TOS with updated info regarding stickers (as well the price sheet). I do not know how many commissioners I will be taking for sure this time around as a bit of it is reliant upon just how many people sign up for stickers. This is not a normal queue so the normal commission forms will not be open this time around. I will close the Sticker commission form for selection on Wednesday March 31. Make sure to read the TOS and stuff before filling out a form. :)

I will do my best to organize the stream of consciousness that I am about to dump here into a few points to describe future plans. I am currently on a sort of down time for commission work as I have a midterm coming up that I have to prepare for so I have been working on my own project while doing that.

Terms of Service update:
-Before this last commission batch I had updated TOS to include "-animal style genitals." Thankfully all issues regarding this were solved and I would like to thank all of my commissioners for patiently working with me, but I would like to leave this clarification here now to help get eyes on it. No this does not mean I will be putting shaved human balls on furry characters, I am more specifically referring to the dick itself. I have been working to better my art using photo references as much as possible, and to be frank, I will not be going around to look up pictures of animal dicks to learn what they look like and how to paint them. I do not care what size you want, nor do I care if it comes out of a sheath or slit, it just wont be knotted or styled like any actual animal dick. I am not a puritan out to judge people for liking it as a fantasy, this is just a personal rule for my own stuff. It is a fun fantasy and enjoy it so long as we are not talking about actual zoophilia.

Pricing:
-Might as well rip the band aid off here. Normally for this type of thing I quietly adjust pricing up a little bit after commission batches, but due to future plans changing, I have a feeling this time it will be a bit more noticeable. On average for my commissions I am spending 36-48 hours for projects that are not sketches (not including all of the time spent in communication with commissioners). At current pricing I am not actually making enough money to support myself, much less be able to support my boyfriend without having to constantly dip into savings. I wish I could keep my prices low so that more people would have a chance at them, but I unfortunately no longer have luxury of keeping them so low. I am also looking at something like a patreon or subscribestar which could help supplement income, but I am already burning through all my time with commissions and daily life activities and chores, so I have no clue how to run one and offer stuff like sketches or other projects.

The Next Commission Batch:
-I am currently planning (once the midterm is over) on doing a sticker commission batch before taking another full illustration batch. I had a lot of fun doing the trial run of stickers and would love a chance to do more of them. I enjoy putting the exaggerated emotions that I learned about in my few animation classes to practice, and I love getting the chance to learn to get better at them. On top of the practice stickers are nice and quick to pull off so it is great to see and end result the same day I start something. I do not know how many slots I will open for said sticker batch, but if you are interested, here are a few links to my recent stickers : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39438854/ https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39949075/ Once this sticker batch would be done is when the next full illustration queue will open up.

There is a ton of other stuff that I am sure I am forgetting, but at least I was able to get some thoughts down for you guys. If you have any questions feel free to ask me!

Hey Everyone!

Thank you all for your patience and thank you everyone who took the time to fill out a commission form! At the end of the day while I am only picking 3 full sfw and 3 full nsfw illustration commissions as well as a handful of sketch commissions I got 8 sfw forms and 33 nsfw forms! I had to pass on a lot of ideas that I really wish I had the time to build on so just because you didnt get picked doesnt mean I did not like your idea!

I terms of how I plan on going about ordering these commissions I plan on skipping between both sfw and nsfw so that one account doesnt go dead for a month or more like in the previous hybrid queue I tried. So the only order that really matters for the illustrations is the order of in their own queue(ei if I do sfw commission #1 and move onto a nsfw commission, it will be nsfw commission #1 not #2/3) I will sprinkle the sketches in here and there as well to fill up down time and just provide small breaks in between all of the major commissions!

Notice: I had one commission form submit links to a reference image using tinyurl and I ignored it entirely. I have not taken action other than that but for future reference please do not link tinyurl's I am not gonna roll those dice. The person who used that link is free to submit a form in future batches, but this time around I have just ignored the form. There is no need to message me about it further, just change the link in the future. :)

Also, if you see your name on here and its one of the ones that doesnt have a icon link and no tag next to it (tg/tw etc) please let me know if you are coming from twitter or telegram.

Hello everyone!

Commissions are now open! Make sure to check out the TOS before filling out a form (I have included info like how I select commissions in there now as well as other general updates to TOS). I will be taking 3 sfw commissions on  CYNIDE as well as 3 nsfw commissions here. Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Like I mentioned before I will be working 9-5 mon-fri with weekends for my own projects. I will be closing the commission form and selecting the queue on Sunday the 20th.

Hey everyone!

Thank you all for your patience and thank you everyone who took the time to fill out a commission form. I originally planned only only taking a small queue with a few sfw and a few nsfw illustrations (mostly because I assumed that there would not be that many sfw requests). In the end I got 6 sfw forms and 37 nsfw forms, so I decided to take all the sfw forms and 7 of the nsfw forms (as well as all of the sketch requests from the nsfw forms on top of that). It was originally going to be 6 and 6 but I may or may not be bad at mental math and by the time I caught the error I had already set my heart to it so now there are 7 nsfw slots XD.

As I mentioned before, my new work schedule is 9am-5pm Monday-Friday so if you see that I have posted a commission on Friday and you are next up, dont expect a note until Monday of the next week. I will be splitting the sfw and NSFW into two groups so the queue will go 3 SFW, 3 NSFW, 3 SFW, and then 4 NSFW. I will intersperse the sketches inbetween or just go on a sketch rampage after all the illustrations are done. :) Now then... on with the queue.

It has been a while since I have taken the time to show off another artists work so now seems a good a time as any to show of some other people art.

 hajnalski just recently started dabbling into latex/rubber and has spent time before doing non rubber art, but hasn't gotten much traction yet in viewership so go send a look see and maybe find something you like!  hajnalski is also illustrating a nsfw comic being written by  menthe_de_creme.

It is fun to watch artists grow and improve their art and hopefully so go give em a view and see if you like it and leave a comment for them! Seeing people comment has always meant a lot for me so I am sure any new artists would really appreciate it as well.

Normally I would run a raffle with something like this but I find myself busier than usual so I don't really have the time to do that. Thank you for checking this out and I hope that you all find a new artist to go watch!

Hey!

A friend of mine  Kemira is currently opening up for commissions if you are interested in some straight jacket art! He also adds short stories for additional pay to his images with a continuing story theme that arcs over most of his commissions if that is something that interests you as well.

You can find his TOS here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....-326pRYfY/edit

And here is a link to the journal with the google form to apply for a commisison: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9522631/

Hey everyone!

Both Auctions have come to and end I would like to thank everyone who took part! I really appreciate the attention my work gets, and also that people are willing to spend money on it. Below is a list of the slot owners in the order I will be working on the order I will work on the images. If you are one of the winners of the slots, you will not be expected to pay until I actually start working on the image with your slot included. If I reach your slot and you no longer want the slot I will contact the next highest bidder. If I reach your slot and you cannot pay at that particular time but you know for a fact that you would be able to pay later and still want the slot, I will move your slot (or the image if it is a duo slot) to the end of the queue. If I reach the end of the queue and you still cannot pay I will forfeit the slot the the next highest bidder.

If you are sharing a duo slot image please be prompt when replying as a courtesy to your fellow slot owner. I will do my best to be prompt as well while working on the images and getting back to you.

Thank you again everyone who took part in the auction!

I will begin working on the queue on Tuesday after my last Final is over. Thank you all for your patience!
