So I'm a tiny bit short on something so I thought I'd offer a one time fee deal for 50% off a colored sketch or flat half body!
Nsfw would be $20!!

Comment to claim!
Limited time offer!!!

So I saw some other people making them and decided I'd give it a shot too.
Made an account that you can find here: https://furrylife.online/profile/197-softtop/

Feel free to watch me there, I want to follow you guys there too!!
Nothing uploaded yet, but I'll get there~ cx

Tomorrow is my bf's birthday. I don't even have the money to pay for any of the bills that are due aside from rent, much less do anything nice for him. I have commissions open, ranging in price from $10+.
Willing to do anything at this point, I'm so tired of being behind.
Need $180 to get everything that is really important squared away bill wise, though that still leaves out a couple of other bills, but I'll find a way to make it work.

Please hmu if you'd like to buy something. I want to do SOMETHING for my bf
I also have characters for sale: https://toyhou.se/softtop/character.....ags:1/tagged:s
Willing to haggle on most of them!!
Also doing doodles for kofis. Just make sure you provide proof that you donated so I can make you something! https://ko-fi.com/A47051V1

This seems to happen once every couple months.

I start to question what type of person I truly am- and what I strive to be/present as. This causes a lot of dysphoria, on top of struggling to connect with my characters-- especially in regards to whatever fursona I've been using. I've never really kept a fursona for longer than a year-- my longest one was Rewind, whom I still adore- but unfortunately, I sold the suit, and I'm not sure if the owner of that suit would let me use the character again-- or if I'd even be satisfied with having him back. Though he was the last design that I designed for myself that I ended up really loving for a long time. Idek who owns him anymore. Pretty sure the person I ended up selling the suit to sold it a few years ago.

I just. I see all these characters that have so much life in them- so much personality- that you can see why these people chose them as their fursona. I feel like, no matter what design I choose, it always falls flat-- they never feel like ME. Maybe because I'm a bland person with no personality, and clearly no self confidence.

I feel like nothing-- no one. No matter how hard I try, I just. Can't seem to get over it. Idk what to do. I wish I could just get someone to design a character for me-- like. Give me a fucking questionaire that will tailor the perfect fursona for me lmfao. Take my non-existent personality traits and somehow come up with a design that fits me. But that is impossible.

Just want to fit in and be liked but I feel like if I can't even like myself, who the fuck is going to like me.

Sorry for venty journal just. Struggling lately.

I just found out about this system and thought it was a really cool idea, so I turned it on cx
Will do doodles in exchange for shinies too!
If you're interested, feel free to let me know!

I want to do some more full body flats, since I'm really enjoying them right now.
Discounted from $50 down to

$40!!

Examples:

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31527811/ (halfbody but still an example of quality)
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31512468/(halfbody but still an example of quality)

I just want a little cushion, since all of my money is going to bills right now. I want to make sure I have a little bit in case of an emergency., like needing to get something like milk or gas, since I don't get paid again until the 1st.

I am in the process of moving accounts!!!

I made the new account a week or two ago, but finally got around to starting to post my most recent work.
I will be uploading over there FIRST, so if you want to see my art as soon as its uploaded, please go watch me over there!
There will be a raffle over there as well, so watch me to be one of the first to be informed once its announced! Don't want to miss out~

I will still be posting here, for the time being, but I'm slowly going to be weaning off of this account.

GO WATCH ME AT
SOFTTOPSOFTTOPSOFTTOPSOFTTOP

I want to buy the new mohnot base really bad but I can't afford it.
I want to be able to make adopts on it and whatnot too.

SO if you want to buy me the base for $25, I'll make you a free custom design!!
Or I'll put your character on the base, whichever you prefer~

Simply comment or note to claim!

Overdrawn on my account on accident, don't have enough for bills. My art isn't selling so I'm selling all sellable characters.

https://toyhou.se/softtop/character.....s:1/tagged:S,s
On mobile so I can't add the prices for the new ones but feel free to ask.

So apparently, they put up cameras on the highway, bc I just got a letter saying I was speeding (70 in a 60), despite the fact that EVERYONE goes that speed, but I suppose I'll just have to be the asshole who goes the speed limit from now on, bc I can't fucking afford these tickets.

Opening two highly discounted commission slots.
$35 full body flats - normally $50.
That should cover the full price of the ticket, even after the paypal fees. (the ticket is $65).
Will look like these: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....r/492082/Flats

If you can't afford a slot, I'd appreciate it if you could boost me ; u ; I have until the end of the month to pay.

I'm holding the first art raffle ever on my twitter!!
My queue is clear, so I thought I'd do a little raffle, also to help get word out about my username switch!

For more details and to enter, go here:

So I think I finally found a new handle that I like a lot and suits me well!
So I made a new DA, FA, and changed my twitter handle to it.

The new handle is....

SOFTTOP

So you can find my new profiles on FA and DA as softtop
https://www.furaffinity.net/user/softtop/
https://www.deviantart.com/softtop

And my twitter is now softtop_

I don't know when I'll actually be migrating profiles. I may start slowly uploading stuff over there in bursts so that I don't overload and spam things, then once everything is nice and ready, I'll do the official move over.
I'm really looking forward to the move, and I hope a lot of you move with me! I've hated this url for years bc it has no real meaning, and I'm ready to start fresh with a new look!
Feel free to go ahead and watch me over there if you'd like, but I'll be sure to make lots of posts announcing the move when its official!

I worked on this last night: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/31367789/
And had a lot of fun working on it. I haven't offered flats in a while, so I figured I'd open up some smaller ones cx

More examples of my flats can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/.....r/492082/Flats

Going to start with 3 slots, and if they fill up, maybe I'll open some more~

Simply comment or note to claim!

Hosting a poll on my twitter to see which OC that I haven't drawn in a good long while I should doodle tonight to help lift my spirits a bit!

Link is here: https://twitter.com/flynnbrigade/st.....358601730?s=20
Bonus points if you comment or reply to the thread and tell me what you'd like to see of them!

I only have one commission left in my queue, which leaves me open to accepting some more slots for a quick turn around!*

Still have these designs for sale!

https://toyhou.se/vax/characters/ta.....d:s/folder:all

Alex and Soul are offer to adopt/best offer.
Alex is worth $120 and Soul is worth $200, but I'm willing to do payment plans or discuss the offer~ Willing to do a combo of art/designs with money!

Nero and Beta are voucher only, willing to discuss the amounts for these, but looking for about $100 for each.

Feel free to comment or note for questions or offer!

So I figured this would be the best way to not only keep my queue rolling, but also save up for my replacement computer.
I will be opening these up throughout the next few weeks, usually 1-2 a day when I open them, depending on how quickly I feel like I can finish them while still getting previous queue work done.

Will look like my other color sketches: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....92083/Sketches

$30 for one character, $50 for two, $5-10 charge for nsfw!

If you don't know what this is regarding, please see this journal: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9105327/

Basically, the computer I use for everything broke over the weekend. I lost several WIPs (thankfully I have screenshots that I can use to restart them) and tons of personal data.
I do have a spare laptop that I'm using now but its not great. Some of the keys are busted and it has very limited space and it kinda chugs along. The good news is that I have the spare, and I was able to do enough tinkering to get it to register pen pressure after losing it for what seemed like forever a couple years back. The bad news is that its very slow to respond, therefore my pen strokes are a little.. janky. I will continue to fiddle with it, see if I can't get some settings to work for me as well as maybe clearing some space to hopefully remedy that problem. For now, this means I can work on commissions, albeit slowly.

The bad news is that this is only a temporary fix. This computer is very old and very delicate. The battery is drained and therefore will immediately power down if its unplugged, causing loss of data, as well as the fact that it just cannot run heavy lifting programs, since it struggles with just having sai.

I am still saving for a computer. More good news is that I have a coworker who is potentially goin to let me buy one of her old computers at a discounted price. More bad news is that its still $600 (which is a steal from what she's explained, since it was a $1200 computer and is barely over a year old.) More GOOD news though, is that I currently have $200ish that I can put towards it, however I still need the remaining $400.

So I'm opening up emergency commissions, so I can get this paid off ASAP!!!! I won't know the exact terms of our agreement until she returns to work on Tuesday, but for now, this is what I'm planning on. I would much rather spend the extra money and get a really good computer than settle for something and have it break in a year or two.

So if you'd like to help out, all my commission types are open. Prices can be found here: https://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/thanxia/
I am also accepting donations if you're feeling generous. My ko-fi is here: https://ko-fi.com/vaxeron

If you're unable to do either of those things, I would really appreciate it if you could spread the word ; u ; Thanks to everyone!!!
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to comment or shoot me a note!

Sooo my computer busted.

I was attempting to get my FFXIV back up and running since I was finally able to afford to resub (lolololol not anymore but its too late now.) All was good, I was downloading the patches and everything went smooth. After I was done, I was just waitin for my bf's download to finish, and my computer prompted me for a restart that I had been putting off for a day or two. So I went ahead and said fuck it.

This was the beginning of the end.

Upon reboot, steam had forgotten that ffxiv already existed and forced me to redownload everything which took several hours. I let the download run all night and it didn't really have any issues.
It finally finished and I boot it up and within 15 minutes, my computer overheated and shut down.
I let it rest for a bit and reboot it. It struggled for several more restarts before finally being able to function. I used it as normal to test to make sure it was fine. Everything ran as normal. So I put it to the true test and tried to run ffxiv, to which it overheated again. This was clearly a mistake, seeing as now it won't boot at all. It gets stuck on the start up screen before shutting down again. In addition to that, I've gotten a new error, which says that a cooling fan is now broken, on top of a hard disc failure that I've gotten before. I even tried deep cleaning it with no luck. For now, I'm letting it rest and will likely try again in a couple hours.

In the meantime, I have a spare laptop, but I'm not sure I'll be able to do much work on it. Last time I tried to use it, pen pressure didn't work. I haven't tried it yet, but its pretty important that I raise this money ASAP so I can continue to work on what I owe ; A ;

I'm not sure what the cost of repairs will be, and I've never had much luck with having laptops repaired, so I've been looking at refurbished laptops. Found a few that have specs I'll need for $150-200+shipping, but thats a bit more money than I can spend right now with bills and such.

So I'm opening up commission slots to help fund either repairs or a new laptop.
I want to budget about $200-250 just to be safe.

My prices are here: https://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/thanxia/
Also accepting donations: https://ko-fi.com/A47051V1 and I have more characters for sale: https://toyhou.se/vax/characters/fo.....ags:1/tagged:s

Comment or note if you'd like to buy a commission or if you have questions!!

Sooo, upon checking my mail today, I discover a letter alerting me of a citation, saying I ran a red light. I do remember accidentally running one, because I misjudged the time I had to get through. However, this is my first time ever getting a driving citation, and the day after my birthday no less o<-<
I have to pay $65 for this citation, which. Is a lot but also isn't? It could be way worse, but that's literally all the money I had been saving to buy myself a new tablet for my birthday.

So, I'm opening two NSFW colored sketch slots. Can be any kink-- additional characters will cost extra.
If you don't want NSFW, then I'll do some shading to make up for the extra $5.

I'm really bummed that I can't buy my tablet now, because I was really needing a new one :C
I really appreciate any and all help.
I'm also doing $3 chibi doodle for ko-fi donations that you can read more about here if you can't afford a full sketch: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9100438/

Feel free to signal boost if you want ; u ;

Today is my birthday~ Turned 26.
Got a call first thing this morning from my mom and one of my sisters-- who is apparently supposed to pop her baby out any day now! So that's awesome. It's her first one-- my first nephew. What fun news!

I've already gotten a few gift arts which I'm all emotional over ; A ;
Thank you to caliginousfay boar. and corrupted.stars for all making me gifts. Yall are seriously such huge sweethearts and I'm so thankful to have each of you in my life. You all should definitely go watch them, I promise they put out some really awesome stuff.
Go see their art here:

If you want to help support me, feel free to donate to my ko-fi! I'm still trying to save money to be able to buy myself a new tablet for my birthday.
I'm doing $3 doodle chibis as well for ko-fis, so if you want one of those, just donate to my kofi and leave your username and ref in the comment, or shoot me a note with proof of donation so I know its you! $3 per chibi, so if you want one larger one for multiple ko-fis, just let me know!

Also, before too long, I'll be hosting a raffle on my twitter! I haven't taken the time to create it yet, but I hope to soon. So if you want to be one of the first to know when that raffle goes live, go follow my twitter! https://twitter.com/flynnbrigade

I'll probably be drawing for most of the rest of the day and just enjoying my time. Took a long weekend, so I'm just chillaxin n u n

I wanna do more tiny chibis, as well as continue to raise money for my new tablet/have some extra spending money for my birthday this Friday.

So I'm gonna do some $3 ko-fi chibis! $3 for each~

Will be like this: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31018631/
Though maybe a little smaller.

Simply donate to my ko-fi here: https://ko-fi.com/A47051V1
Just make sure you leave a note with your username and reference, or simply comment below or note me with proof of donation!

I turn 26 this year x.x
It's honestly super crazy that I started drawing on this site just under six years ago when I was 20. I love this community so much, and I'm proud to be a part of it, despite all the chaos it bring (but what community doesn't have a little chaos and drama n shit lmfao?)
I'm really hoping to either be gifted a new tablet or to purchase one for myself for my birthday. I have my eye on one that I'm saving some money for, but we'll see cx
Other than that I don't really have any plans other than that-- took Saturday off work so maybe, if the weather is nice, we'll go out to the park or out to eat or something fun like that. I'll probably draw some personal art-- I don't really do much else to celebrate since I don't have many irl friends that I actually hang out with.

Idk if anyone wants to, and by no means is anyone obligated to, but if you are feeling generous or want to help me reach my goal of buying myself a tablet, feel free to donate to my ko-fi! You can find my link here: https://ko-fi.com/A47051V1
Also, if you want to gift some art for my birthday, feel free to do so! The character I'd want art of is my newest character: https://toyhou.se/3005734.b-o-o-f/gallery#10402737
He is a pomeranian/bear mix, and he's gonna be a new sona alongside Magnai!
Again, don't feel bad if you can't or don't want to, this is just to give some information if anyone had been thinking about doing it cx

Oh and a quick reminder! I have a curiouscat that I would LOVE to use more often-- so if you have any questions, to me or my characters, in regards to anything (art, tastes, headcanons, etc) feel free to send them here: https://curiouscat.me/flynnbrigade
I'd love to talk and interact with you guys more!

psst also its boar.'s birthday tomorrow, so you should go wish her happy birthday too!!

This is pretty tentative, since I'm prooooobably just hitting a depressive spell, but I suddenly don't connect with most of my OCs and it makes me feel like poopy o<-<

sooo I'm putting ALL my OCs up for offers. Literally the only ones that aren't up for offers at all are Glitch and Nox (boyfriends OC)
Yes, that means even Magnai is up for offers-- though this is extremely tentative and I will likely be taking time to think over any potential offer just to make sure I even want to part with him.

OCs will be up for sale and trade, depending on if I can sell them at all, though I would also consider voucher. I am not really accepting art at this time. I AM NOW LOOKING AT ART OFFERS AS WELL. Though I am picky.
Feel free to comment or note your offers.

All OCs can be found here: https://toyhou.se/vax/characters/folder:all

Will not respond to all comments right away.


TRYING TO SAVE MONEY FOR A NEW TABLET for my birthday! Trying to raise about $80-- willing to do a voucher for it!

So FFVII comes out on the switch tomorrow and I have been DYING for this release for ages. It's going to be a little birthday present to myself since my birthday is coming up in less than two weeks.
I unfortunately don't have the funds at current to buy it since the money I have right now is all going to rent.

So I'm opening one commission slot at a discounted price!
One single character colored sketch for $20 (a $10 discount!)
Examples: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....92083/Sketches
