In light of recent events
General | Posted a year agoIt's been a rollercoaster of a month for FurAffinity, I'm sure many are informed with recent events.
I'm not feeling too confident this site will stick around forever, which is saddening considering this is the place where I first got exposed to the furry community and met many friends. This is why I would recommend keeping tabs on me other platforms, which are all listed in my linktree. I'll still be posting my own stuff here, but I do want to find motivations to post on the other accounts as well. I usually try to upkeep activity in places where I can receive activity.

That said, the
arroyo account is a different story. It's an account made to share art I've received over the years, sharing my OCs and sharing art I've gotten over the years, wanting to help artists get more recognition when sharing the commissions I've gotten. But I've tried to keep a rule of not reposting unless the artist a) comfortable with their work being posted (and given credit properly ofc) and b) has an account here that I can redirect to.
Safe to say, if anything happens to the arroyo account I probably won't be remaking it. It's hard to keep track of where some artists go and some places make it easier to share the works when it's posted on the artist's account (Twitter, tumblr and Itaku come to mind with their feeds.) It's also a lot of backlog to go through, which I barely have time to go through these days.
My mind may change with time but it's never a promise.
I also want to ask those who I've bought art from have accounts anywhere else, have posted said commissions and are willing to share them with me so I may share them there as well.

Artfight 2022
General | Posted 3 years agoHey everyone! Just last year, I'll be participating in this year's artfight. Those who found there way here from artfight to here, please do let me know if you have an FA account so I can properly give credit the character designs when I post them here. If you are not comfortable with me posting art for you here, do let me know. I'll only be posting the art where the owner of the character in the art posts.
Those who are finding me here and are participating in artfight this year, please do come take a look at my page, but be warned I will retaliate if you attack >: )

You may repost my work SO LONG AS YOU GIVE CREDIT AND LINK BACK TO ONE OF THE ORIGINAL POSTS.
Refund or cancellation unavailable once work begins, by paying the invoice you're agreeing you won't cancel once I begin on your commission and you won't commit a fraudulent charge back within a 6 month period after completion.
-When the commission is complete, I keep the raw file of the commissions for editing purposes encase any minor complaints arise (a small detail done wrong, wrong use of color, ect.) for a week. After that, I delete the file and I will not edit the picture after that time frame.
-I will try to keep a clear communication with those who purchase any of my commissions. That said, I am willing to share progress shots of the commissions in progress at your request.
If there are any questions, post them here. I will answer them to my best ability.
