custom printed buttons have been added to our Kofi shop! You can order indivigual buttons, or order them in sets of 5 if you want to give them out, or sell them yourself! Currently avalible in 3 sizes, (1 inch, 1.25 inch, and 2.25 inch). More sizes, and shapes will be added over time, aswell as special items.

just like the stickers, Any artwork, and the size and quantity of your choice!


(i hate being a salesman lol)

if you're interested, feel free to check it out! I plan on trying to make some custom Convention "badge" designs aswell, since i think that'd be fun to have. As always, I'm going to try my best to stand by my Quality, Consistency, and Kindness through out all custom printed commissions!

(My morals can be abriviated to Qua.C.K., because ducks .w.)

hope you all are well!

While we still intend to sell vinyl stickers for both personal use; and merchandise/handing out at conventions; we were going to add 2 new items to what we were able to make; and sell to everyone! (well, really just 1 new and 1 variation of the older item)


The new additions would be UV resistant variants the f the standard stickers we already sell; ideal for outdoors use; such as bumper stickers; or window Peakers.

The second addition would be button pins; with 3 different sizes to fit any need. 1 inch; 1.25 inch; and 2.25 inch sizes. Both sold as stand alone pins; and as bulk sets if you wanted multiples of the same design.

We do plan on having some pre-existing designs; but you can always get your artwork made into a sticker or button!

Custom printing and design is our goal.
Quality; Consistency; and kindness are what we strive to build out brand on; and i will always uphold it!

the official post can be seen here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61349892/

we are basicly just asking people to send over their Oc's so we can draw them during the month of July, instead of participating in Art fight. sending character request (like Best girl, Patra) is also fine, but the main idea was for Oc's to be drawn so i could get more practice :3

these weren't like the usual request we occationally do, or like the raffles, this is just a fun little thing to do for july.

sharing the word is welcome, and we do intent to draw everyone who joins in. It'd be fun, and i need the practice :P

hope to see some folks join in, and send their OC's over. you can also just look at others oc's if you want :3

hope you have a good month!

Here is the art raffle as mentioned; should anyone have missed it.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/60664790/
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/60664790/





As far as other stuff goes; sorry arts been kinda slow and uninteresting. Just wanted to give making stickers a shot; and do some artwork for all the OC's while i was at it. My cutting machine arrived; and im slowly getting the hang of it; but i'm still not confident in my ability to fill orders properly should any come in at this time. I strive for quality above all else, and I don't want to make subpar products even if i know no one would know.

2 months from now i should start doing custom printing; Atleast thats the plan.

Hope you all are doing well. Thanks for tolorating my bullshit. (Im not going to be changing my name; i am The Clockwork Jester afterall

While doing EXTENSIVE research into things regarding the postal service, and international shipping, i find it rather interesting how the post will do things.

shipping in the US, Easy, done, no hastle :D no fight, no struggle

shipping to, lets say France (Hi Jura :D), I now have to jump through 50000000 extra hoops, just because my package is worth 2$. Then, when it eventually reaches France, it's now whom ever is in France's problem of paying a tarrif on that 2$ letter, witch now cost them idefk how much cause i haven't actually sent to europe (i checked, there is actually a nice little calculator online .w. it's 20% of cost to ship to france, so, .4$ charged to un-named friend who i totally didn't name earlier lol. We can't mail rats, Destiny is too big to fit in the mail.)

but shipping is like 50+ dollars for retail merchandise..... that letter is now 52$.... and 40 cent.... (it's like 3$ for internation post cards and letters tho, but we can't fit rats on postcards)



so, it is generally not worth shipping things to the EU, and it kinda just sucks thinking about that.

I joke that "all of these artist are committing fraud, and tax evasion", but they really are....... and it shows when you, yourself, start looking into stuff like this. it's just rampent, and it makes me upset that people really are just dancing around laws.

this journal got derailed like 5 different times. I'm tired, and exausted from doing searching.

was mostly doing research for a future buisness endevor i was going to undertake, but it seems like it'll be harder than expected, especially with the cost of shipping/customs fees/taxes.

it'd be easy skirting the law, and playing fast and loose, but i don't want to do that. i want to be reputable, and trustworthy.

hope yall have a good night, Maple art is posting soon .w.

weird title name because it gets people to click :D

Drawing a anyssa sketch for anatomy practice, i was going to draw an orange for her to have next to her in the art. INSTANTLY, my mind said "no, Anyssa hates oranges! she hates citrius!"



Why my characters have issues with fruit, i will never know. Iris absolutely fucking dispises bananas (and most other yellow fruit)

that is all, we are waging war on fruit, 1 child at a time.

Hi; just sharing the raffle via journal incase anyone happen to miss it; good luck to everyone who joins; and have a good rest of your month!!!!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59615513/

We are going to try kicking off our planned monthly art raffles; everyone is welcome; and everyone is encouraged to join.

There isn't really a set time of the month for the raffles; they'll pop up sparaticly; or if we hit a milestone mid month.

Hope you all have a good day; and good luck to anyone who joins!

Hi,

As far as my plan going forward with art, and pursuing our original goal of showing people what it means to be a true Artist, I have decide that it'd be better to not attempt commissions, or start a patreon/donation accepting account. It simply would not be in the spirit of my objectives to seek revenue for art, or stash away artworks behind a paywall, slowly siphoning away previous arts to prop up future cash grabs.

Making money as an artist isn't bad; and i wish everyone the best of luck should they work as a freelance artist; It is merely my decision to exclude myself from those things (as far as art goes.)

While i want to believe i would have the mental capacity, and dedication to complete such things, i also know that putting up a paywall, even if small, would end up inhibiting some from being given the chance to receive an artwork that they would like. I also don't very much care for the financial reward that would come from commissioning artwork; I'd much rather challenge myself, and learn things, and how to do art more effectively, like i use to do.

i would like to start doing something like a monthly raffle, to give different folks a chance to "commission art", but 12 arts a year still feels really low for a good amount of output; So i may just have request open, as a permanent option for people to send their request in if they'd like, and if i'm out of ideas, or just wanna see what's in the pool, visit those request. I don't actually know. For now, the main idea would be the Monthly reaccuring raffle to keep a fresh face showing up in my gallary, rather than the same old, same old characters i like.


if anyone has an suggestions, you are more than welcome to leave a comment. it takes a few days for me to make an artwork, but i do want to try and give back to the community and remind people that kindness is still a part of the community.

I would like to start monthly, or bi monthly raffles though. just gotta figure stuff out.

Im officially 27; 🐀🎉🎂

No birthday art this year; but we drew this cute doodle on twitter
https://x.com/TheClockworkJes/statu.....16973537231063

Due to a lack of no new additional enterants; i will probably draw the raffle winner early and close the raffle down, as i see no real reason to drag it our further.

Just wanted to give a heads up; i normally don't run raffles this long; and i dislike reposting raffles.

Raffle winner will be contacted after drawing; and your art will beguin being produced.

Hi all, Due to a large project that is suppose to be released early/mid december for my birthday, art will be virtually non-exsistant for the next 2 weeks while i devote all of my time(lets be real, i slack off way too much for that statement to be true) into this art project.

appologies for those who wanted to see more of the Oc's get drawn in proper colours.


Apart from that, it's kind of odd being a small artist, attempting to do bigger things for no reason other than wanting to do those things. No money being thrown at me to write/draw these things, No patreon/kofi fans that i have to keep putting out artwork for, Just me, doing it because i like it, and i want to entertain folks the best i can.

Would still be cool as hell being a super popular artist, but i'm fine being random artist 10345294 who draws in a slightly weird style that isn't really normal.


Oc's who still need to be drawn with our more modern art abilities:
Maple
Ashe
Iris and Anyssa
Clock
Lucia And Zhak

they will be coming, then if im able to keep quality high, i may start doing 10$ commissions for art, as i'm certian most of my friends know, i hate my job, and iw anna do something else ;w;

In any event, Have a good Thanks Giving week!

Hi, i'm going to attempt to use blue sky more now, so if anyone happens to be on there, feel free to follow me there if you'd like.

i'm a bit behind on art posting there, but going to start catching up soon.


i was going to post WIP updates on Bluesky, aswell as twitter for those who may want to see whats getting cooked up before it's posted.

I'll still be active on FA, but just using the account i already had ,w,

have a good day!

What are the Liyorlis?

The Liyorlis, formerly known as Lion-Lizards, were a species of island dwelling reptilians who were experimented on by a underground scientific organization with the express purpose of reviving extinct species of creatures who had become extinct in the past. Originally starting as a singular species of reptile, through vigorous experimentation, and exploration of the populace, the Liyorlis DNA became spliced with DNA of other animals, resulting in mutations in the off spring, displaying features that would give them an appearance closely resembling the animal group their DNA had been mixed with originally. These resulting mutations resulted in six new classifications among the surviving population of Liyorlis, while the original DNA of the Liyorlis would be lost over multiple years of experimentation.

An uprising would eventually result in the demise of the scientific organizations rampant experimentation on the liyorlis, resulting in the freeing of the race from unjust subjugation at the hands of a foreign entity; But sending them into an era of tribalism; losing site of their original singularity, and opting for segregation amongst the different types of Liyorlis; Fighting for dominance over the island, waging an endless war against one another.

Due to external intervention in the form of weaponry left by the prior scientist, and reacquisition of forgotten knowledge regarding their ancestry, The tribalism era of the Island would come to an end after years of constant war; reunifying the Liyorlis under an uneasy alliance, and caste system based around the strengths of the tribes at the end of the war; An uneasy peace treaty that would still hold it's place in the Liyorlis society to this day, Leading to a Seventh Classification of Liyorlis to be formed, designating them as no longer fit to bare the title of their former caste, and as someone who would turn against the uneasy peace that had been formed.


What are the Species/Caste of Liyorlis?

The Liyorlis Species and caste correspond to the features displayed within the Liyorlis in question. Once you are born, Your DNA determines where you will be in this system, it is your birth-right.

Aloft - Dynast Lion-Lizards, the highest of the caste, and the rarest due to unsavory practices, are rumored to have had their DNA spliced with Dragons; Carrying two sets of wings on their back, one set exceptionally larger than the other, while enabling flight. Due to their scarcity, and the propensity of them being hunted out of hatred, these Liyorlis are few and far between, but demand the highest of respects.

Scion - Horned Lion-Lizards, fall below Aloft, rumored to have their DNA mixed with Drakes. They are larger in build, leading to their dominance in the Tribal era of their history. Dotted with horns, bone studs, and jagged flaps of hardened skin, they resemble a jagged cliff side. While incapable of flight, they are extremely sturdy.

Absolved - Jagged Lion-Lizard, Are above average within the caste system. Their DNA is said to be mixed with Leviathans, prominently displayed by their gills and ability to breathe in the water for a longer period of time. Covered in jagged spines, and fins, these Liyorlis are better suited to aquatic endeavors; However, due to the new nature of society, there is much less urgency for the ability to swim, more so becoming a hinderance on land than a useful tool for survival.

Jester - Winged Lion-Lizard, are the middle of the pact. Having been rumored to be spliced with Wyverns, they share a resemblance to Aloft, Only sporting one set of smaller wings, witch are more often than not, too small to assist in proper flight. Despite this inability, All Jester Liorlis fall under the same flag, Flight is no longer required, but would be a valuable asset in the past. Highly capable warriors, Jester liyorlis would work as hired help for the other tribes, killing other Jester liyorlis, resulting in extremely accelerated natural selection. The surviving Jester Liyorlis are regarded as the most refined Sub-species in terms of perfection.

Horned - Maw Lion-lizard, a sub-spicies of the Sub-species "Horned Lion-lizard", Regarded as lesser in terms of genetics, they were cast aside during the tribal period, resulting in a new subset of liyorlis through solidification of the gene pool, Taking up the mantle of "Horned" in a final jab against the species who had rejected them prior. The Maw Lion-Lizard feature small horns on the ends of their snout, or in most cases, small bumps on their noses where their horns could not form properly, resulting in cartilage that can be painful to them should it become cancerous.

Abject - Blank Lion-lizard, the lowest of any natural born caste, is rumored to have been spliced with Wyrms; although some suspect that these may have been their original form before the excessive mutations began to occur due to the experimentations. This is further backed by the existence of children born to Abject Liorlis featuring traits of higher ranking caste in rare cases. Their lack of special features makes them run of the mill. Children of higher caste can often be born as an Abject; leading to a heavily overpopulated lower caste, and questionable blood lines, as no one will ever own up to having bore a Abject, while the Abject may not know what their DNA holds. DNA testing is highly regulated, and only allowed in controlled environments for medical reasons/identification of Bound Liyorlis.

Bound - Bound Lion-lizard, this caste is reserved for criminals, and those who would dare turn against societal normals. Consisting of members of every species, each member of the Bound caste is scarred, or branded on a part of their body that is highly visable, and would be seen by anyone who would interact with them in any manor should they testify otherwise. In addition to these marks of disgrace, they are required to wear facial mask to hide their identity, and change their name to something unrecognizable, as the have lost their right to that name, and are no longer who they once were.

Common forms of Branding are to scar the effecting Liyorlis's face horrificly, and remove what made them their previous caste, leaving them disfigured, and malformed as a result of the process. Aloft and Jesters will have their wings removed by any means neccessary, Horned and Scions may have their horns ripped out, and scales torn off. Absolved often have all of their fins cut apart, or removed; and their gills slashed apart. Abject Often recieve extra wounding, as there is nothing to take from them apart from their dignity.

Should a Bound Lion-Lizard continue to turn against the societal norms, they will be executed. They how-ever have nothing left to lose, having been stripped of everything upon becoming Bound, leading to a higher crime rate amongst the Bound liyorlis, aswell as a higher amount of crimes committed against the Bound, as there is no one who is looking out for them except other Bound, should they chose to intervein. Once you are marked as a Bound, there is nothing left for you to do, but survive.


Why do the Bound Liyorlis exist? Are there no jails?

Their are jails, and Bound Liyorlis often end up in jail awaiting trials, amongst the other Caste; There is a civil process. Being marked as "Bound" may be the end result of your criminal trial, but this punishment is often reserved for those who attempt to transpire against society as a whole. Murder, robbery, Breaking and entering will land you in a jail cell to serve your sentence; disrespecting someone in a higher caste will result in you becoming a Bound, should they catch you.

Most Bound Liyorlis are marked by friends and family, trying to rid themselves of unsavory individuals who may get them into trouble as well. You can escape. They will hunt you down though; as their is more damage you can do if you aren't marked as a Bound Liyorlis yet. Most markings are done while the victim is sleeping, or surrounded by friends and family they trust, when they least expect it. Once you are marked, there is no escaping it. Any, and all law enforcement will recognize the signs, and apprehend you as a potential suspected escapee, finishing the process, and filing you as a Bound.

If they think you escaped being properly marked, they will not give you the benefit of the doubt. There are may who abuse this, and use it to their advantage. Who's going to believe a potential escaped Bound liyorlis?

I need to get practice in with my Drawing tablet; and i have 0 expiriance with it; quality will varry; and art will probably be a combination of 80 other mini drawings of request to get familiar with the program and drawing.

Just drop ga comment and we'll see what we can do for your request (this is for practice, and i really don't know how things will come out.)

Here is also a silly doodle of iris licking the screen on the twitter post about this .w.

I know i usually do a huge halloween themed raffle, so you may want to stay tuned for that (yay, raffle)

but i wanted to ask you guys what's your favorite kind of halloween costumes to see drawn?

I know i normally draw Witches, since "sexy witches" are fun, and i have a running joke with destiny being an "itty bitty titty witchy" (plus i just like witch hats and Vivi form Final fantasy 9 is lovely.)

What are your suggestions for costumes? I am curious what you guys like.


Olivia the Lemon shark, Maple the Pegasus, and Anyssa (the small dog child, a.k.a. Iris's friend who she kidnapped) are all in need of costumes, since they weren't here last october ;w; they may end up with some of your costume ideas. (ashe will probly be dressed as a cow, she is too innocent for this world ;w;)

i really wish i could do more fun stuff for everyone who supports me.

i'm just 1 person trying their best, working a fulltime job, doing art for fun, and battling heavy emotions.

Maybe we can do a small raffle for Ashe's birthday again, like last year.

just want to do something fun for everyone, but there is so little time.

Hello once again, and we are back here for the 40th time to announce that we are going to be opening up commissions in the event anyone was interested in commissioning us for what ever reason.


The main reason for this is because my current job has been on a downward spiral for quite some time, and i've been at the breaking point for a few months now. the only downside is, my job pays "relatively" well for the area i am in, as due to geo-political happenings, the average wage in my area is abysmally low compared to how much everything cost. To help eliviate the burden of the potential decrease in wages/uncertain hours in the near future, i'm opening up commissions. I do still intend on taking request, and hosting small events, but this option is open to those who would like to use it, and support what i do, i guess.

I'm still learning art, and still trying to get better at things, so, prices may be a bit low/high depending on how you want to look at it, but i do art in my spare time anyways, i figure i may aswell have these open as an option; never hurts to just have them there, yaknow?

for the most part, it'll mainly be full scenes, and referance sheets, as i don't want to do adopts. If someone wanted help designing a character, that's 100% fine by me, just don't want to make a character, then try and sell them to people.

sorry for the info dump.
my friends whom i've been talking to for a while know how bad my job has been getting. while i know i won't be making much off of commissions, it's all i have to go off of at the moment. There is never a need to commission me, i'll survive, and i prefer you take care of yourself first.

hope you have a good rest of your day/evening/afternoon, and thank you for reading. Com sheet will probly be posted tomarrow, or saturday if your interested.

*hug

It's 1 month till Ashe's birthday; and 2 years since i got out of a toxic relationship ;w;

(We will also celebrate 100 followers soon; didn't feel right when it happened.)

*ha ha, cause clockwork, and it's about changing up what i plan on doing, haha, funny joke*

As much as i like making art, and making art for others, it honestly feels like i never have time to make art for myself, or hold up my promises to people about what i'll make in recent times. The last art i made that i wanted to make was Iris and Anyssa's art, but before then, it was 6 months ago, when i drew Iris and Ashe for Christmas. about 5 months in between drawing arts that i truely wanted to draw. everything inbetween was either a special event, a one off doodle, or a request/reward for someone.

I will always love doing request, and drawing others OC, but it has gotten to the point where i am pushing off my own art desires for months before i can get to them, and more request will flow in while i work on that art. Reference sheets for my OC's, the lore of the Liyorlis species, and the free to use base fills i had wanted to create for them, even just generic fan art of characters i love. It is my own fault for accepting request, and wanting to over commit to making everyone else happy.

Unlike other artist, i work a full time job, and make no money off of my art. there is no passive income from my art, no commissions rolling in, and no donations from streaming art. it is entirely for fun, and for the enjoyment of others, as well as myself. I do complain to my friends (a lot more than i should to be honest, sorry guys, i know your reading this :P) how it'd be nice to just sit at home, and work on art, knowing that a lot of people are genuinly donating money to me just because i make art, aswell as other people activly seeking me out to pay me to make art for them. it just seems nice. Not having to worry about bills, not waking up at 3 A.M. just to drive for an hour to get to work daily, just having a good time making art, and what i love.

While i originally started art because i couldn't afford to pay others to make art, my ideal end goal shifted. i kept seeing large artist sicking their fans on small accounts for a variety of reasons; mostly stupid reasons. their style was similar, their OC's pattern was similar, the 12 year old kid on DA traced your art poorly (fuck you tetran, ya bitch). it HATED IT, and i refused to call myself an artist if it ment i'd be lumped in with such vile and toxic people. It is never acceptable to treat others as less than you, regardless of circumstances; some even treated th people who were paying them for commissions like shit. now a days, people will subtlely accuse others under the guise of "oh, they look similar..... how did this happen ;p" in hopes there will be some recourse while keeping their hands clean, and it still pisses me off.

My goal as an artist, was to show people that artist should have standards, and uphold those decencies, regardless of whom, or what they do in any medium. No one should be allowed to paraide through the streets attempting to snuff out anyone who dare draw something similar to them. that is not what i want to stand for as an artist.

Sadly, in my efforts to focus more on my own things, such as learning programing, 3d modeling, as well as improving my art in general, i can't take many request anymore; and those i take will be hand selected. It honestly feels a bit depressing having to stop taking request in order to properly practice art, and do what makes me happy, but i also feel like i'm betraying my own ideals of what artist should uphold as a standard for themselves. I want to make art that makes people happy, but it dosen't seem right to make art for myself, because i can't garentee anyone else will be happy with it.

Slowly, we will be shifting gears, and focusing more on other projects that you might not see, or may never come to light, and thats fine. i thank everyone for their support up till this point. i wish i could do more for you all, but there is a lot i still need to learn, and improve upon. I hope you will be there once i'm big enough to chalange the greats, and drag down the giants :3

-The Clockwork Jester

TLDR; we're going to slow down on the amount of request we take, we accepted too many, and neglected ourselves, and our obligations. We wish we could do art more, but time constraints. were studying art, and other feilds to make a video game hopefully.
we will eventually drag down the falls gods.
