If you don't always see my newest commissions here, it's because half of them these days are adult-rated, and I upload them to a seperate account for the convenience of those friends who prefer their balloons to *not* have...extra details.

I upload 'em here:  karanohara

If you like these kindsa things as well, go take a look! I uploaded a new commission this afternoon.

And I'm sorry I ever left.

Three in total!

Candy cane pole-dance: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45249425/
Surfing Santa kangaroo: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45252668/
Stuffed with Christmas barbecue: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45253378/

All three end on January 6th. They're $20 apiece, just like last time, and there are only 5 slots for each one. Snag one today...and if you like the end result, tell your friends about them!

Send a note to  karanohara or DM Th_Neez on Twitter to order yours and discuss details!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45249425/

Available until January 6th, AKA Epiphany, Twelfth Night or, as I call it, the "Twelfth Day Of Christmas". Snag one today! And if this doesn't suit your fancy, I actually have more Christmassy YCH options on the way!

Summery...? I meant to say, Wintery! Yes indeed, these are Christmas In Australia YCH's!
Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, which means the winters are hot and the summers are cold. It also means Christmas is the time to surf, swim, sunbathe and tuck in some barbeque just as much as it's the time for carols, Christmas trees and cuddles.

And over at my adult account  karanohara , I'm serving up some sizzling, sensual, and sometimes silly takes on tradition. Each YCH will come out after the previous one has closed, sell for $20 apiece, have 5 slots open and shall only be available for a very limited time; in the case of this current wave, from December 20th (today) to December 24th. Contact me via DM either at KaraNoHara or on my Twitter (@Th_Neez) to discuss details!

The first one is up now!

It was supposed to be "KareNoHara", with an "e" (Japanese for "His Belly") but I didn't correct my mistake before proceeding with account creation.

Anyway, now you won't have to deal with my disgusting smut darkening the doorstep of this account anymore, because it'll darken the doorstep of KaraNoHara instead.

Enjoy, mates.

Two announcements, mates.

1. I'm drawing adult stuff now.

2. I'm still on hiatus, but open for commissions.

That is all.
















(...how can I be drawing if I'm on hiatus?)

Peoples and gentlefolk. I've been asked to stay with a friend for most of this month to help her with her house, so I'll be much less active.

I am, however, bringing my whole artsenal of drawing supplies (see what I did there?), so whenever the chance comes up, I will continue work on whatever commissions and art trades I have already started on, and possibly the occasional doodle.

That is all.

Konnichiwa, mates. This is a repost of a journal that I posted ten days ago, asking you all for your advice and support concerning the possibility of a Patreon account. I got no replies, likely because I posted too late, so I'm here to try again, this time earlier. Please, please read this. I could seriously use your support. Anyway... ×ahem...×

For those of you who commissioned me, I'm terribly sorry to have kept you waiting. My brain has been all over the place between assisting my family with our local business and trying to find time for my art.

It also seems that, even when I have time to make art, I often get sidetracked by memes, cute art that I didn't make, and the like. Then, on a visit to my doctor, I found the root of my problem - A.D.D. Also known as Attention Deficit Disorder.

While not curable, of course, there are ways to make life easier on one's brain - the simplest way being well-organized. I consulted a friend who also happens to have a bit of A.D.D. and we had a meeting of sorts, pondering various ways I could organize my life to think more clearly...and eventually, we landed on an idea to have me post mainly on Patreon.

By posting on Patreon, she said, I would still be able to draw art for you fine floompy fellows - but it would also keep me more focused on my work, since I'll have a certain deadline and set amount of time to work on something in order to keep the content flow steady. And speaking of steady flows, it would also give me a steady flow of cash...that is, if all of you approve of this idea.

I know how much you all love a good commission, and I'm still plan to get around to completing the ones I got. But the more I think about this whole Patreon thing, the more I want to give it a go -but as my friend said, I'll need to have built up a good fanbase first. (Not to brag, but I think I have.)

And that being said, it would please me very much to get your opinion, maybe spread this journal around to your own friends and see what they think...?

Anxiously awaiting your reply,

Dear friends and followers.

Yesterday, I posted a reminder - more like a last call, if you will - of my current "Birthday Balloons---I MEAN BLIMPS" campaign, which was designed to celebrate and commemorate the many, many, many birthdays that happen to fall in the range of mid-September to mid-October.

One piece was an Animal Crossing-themed treat - a sort of tie-in with another current collection, "Animal Floomping" - that covered three birthdays at once, since they all literally fell one day after the other.

In spite of this, though, I can't shrug off the feeling that I missed a few - and some helpful input from followers  rolandvoidheart and  bxnusducks helped to confirm that thought. Oh, and for the record, there were some beloved villagers whose birthdays I missed, too.

Which now brings me to...
...THE NEW RULES OF BIRTHDAY BALLOONS---I MEAN BLIMPS!

The new rules are as follows: any friends, followers and fellow artists who watch me will receive a small-but-sweet birthday picture featuring their fursonas, their O.C.'s, and or even fursonas and O.C.'s of their friends, if their birthday happens to fall anywhere from September 15th to October 15th. The pictures will bear a bold, colorful aesthetic that practically screams "PAARRRTAYE TIEM!!1111!%" and a theme of inflation, bubbles and/or balloons. And finally, they will all contain a special birthday wish in the description.

I will send a note to all of the aforementioned followers on September 1st, asking if they would like to be surprised or not. (Not everyone likes to be surprised, you know.)

Thank you all for your input and cooperation,

Mag Irasuki

Ladies, gentlemen, and everybody in between.

Lately, as you may have noticed, I've been uploading pictures celebrating the remarkable number of birthdays that my watchers happen to have in late September and early October. I have made three of these so far, with the third one (themed after Animal Crossing) covering three different followers at once, because their birthdays literally come one day after the other.

I am currently making a picture for dedicated follower  orangemario , but I still feel like I forgot a fellow or two. Since Halloween is so close I can smell the sugar in the air, I don't have much more time to work on these, but I have to admit...only having one little picture in my birthday queue after more than 10 days makes me a tad sad.

So I am putting out this last call to attention TODAY to snag yourself a celebratory treat before Halloween celebrations go underway. If you were born anywhere from September 20th to October 10th, let me know now. This is your last chance until next year!

Your picture will be inflation, bubble and/or balloon-themed, with a grand party-ish aesthetic, and contain a special birthday wish in the description.

Anxiously awaiting your reply,

Mag Irasuki

Things have gotten terribly busy yet again in my household, and my break ended up being longer than expected. I also took the time to work on a gift for a best friend who wasn't feeling very well...sorry [strike]not sorry[/strike]

Thankfully, I managed to remember most of what I had to do:

°Do an art trade with  coventrypunk

°Finish a new character in order to do an art trade with  fedorawearingfox

°Finish a comic I'm working on for  frostiefoxie

°A possible commission from  marazi

However, I can't say that I'm sure I forgot something. If anybody can remember anything they were going to order from me, please let me know.

I told you I'd return! Although I apologize for not telling you sooner--my brain has besn quite fuzzy these days!

But I'm always one to finish what I started, and I know you've been sincerely looking forward to some nice inflations, fats and other such delicacies.

The only reasons I didn't come back on Saturday or Sunday was because I had suffered a tremendous anxiety attack--mostly from a lack of sleep and waking up from a nightmare--and haven't gotten myself back together until now. By Monday I was much better, but ended up attending a family event and forgetting all about Fur Affinity.

But now I am here once again and currently working on some comics that have been commissioned from me, and will continue working on the others in the near future.

I haven't forgotten about your commissions. However, I'm currently going through what is known as "moon time" amongst us ladies, and am not feeling very good as a result.

Fortunately, moon time only lasts for approximately a week, so you won't have to wait that long. I should be ready to get back to work by next Saturday.

I hope you enjoy yourselves while I'm gone for the week.

I don't quite have the same emotional problems as my friend Mairead, though my family life is actually incredibly busy. And for the last few months I've been constantly on the move trying to help them, which is why I haven't been online lately. Quite frankly, it's wearing me out quite a bit...but I won't let the "Hello, Maggie!" picture go down in history as a lie--I still do want to put on a jolly good show and continue to deliver fabulous inflation and fetish art to you. So I did a little tinkering in my thinker and I made up a compromise...

I'll happily take your commissions. However for now, 3 rules must apply...

1. They need to be lineart.
2. They need to be simple concepts, ones that don't leave much to the imagination. My brain is simply exhausted!
3. I can only take one commission a day.

I know it seems rather underwhelming...but I need to think of what's best for myself, too. And after a certain tragedy involving a YouTuber named "Etika", I'm especially compelled to do so. But look on the bright side, my friends--you still get your ideas put on paper.

As of today, I am now open for commissions again--but please regard the rules I set, for the sake of my physical and mental well being. Thank you.!

So my pop got over his pneumonia within four days, but due to other circumstances, I couldn't make it back in time for Valentine's day. I plan on starting commissions again at the beginning of March. But before I do, there's something very important I'd like you to know....

...I have a new PayPal address. The one that I was giving out way back in 2017 actually belongs to my friend, who in fact, turns out to be the artist who used to run this account, and owned these characters. Yes, I'm talking about Maggie Nettles - now known as Mairead May.

What really happened in the last 5 years was simply Mag-I mean Mairead growing up. She had just entered her teenage years, and she was experiencing many new (and at the time, scary) things, like depression, changing emotions, a new perspective on the world, and all at the same time, she was trying new things with her art. She eventually decided she wanted to go for something more elaborate for her art company - making buttons, bags and little knick-knacks as well as drawings - but realized that in order to appeal to a bigger audience, she had to give up the fetishy stuff.

So sometime in the period between 2017 and now, she began working out a deal with me, Denese Hamilton, to sell the rights to her characters and any ideas involving them, so that she could start fresh (which is the real reason why the art looks so different now). She posted her backlog of pictures that she had worked on but never posted on the spot due to her depression at the time, which included a commission involving all the Care Bear Cousins turning into different fruits, plus a comic version of the one that started it all, Swift Heart Blueberry. She wanted to finish the whole thing as sort of a "last good bye" before moving on, but with her busy schedule and the massive level of concentration it took to draw all of the elaborate backgrounds, it became too difficult, and she left it to me to do the rest of the comic, but in my style. But I'll still upload the glorious first three pages that she did.

I've been drawing for the fun of it for fifteen years, and have been a good friend of Mairead's for longer than that. She's also the one who taught me most of what I know about art. I had never really used the Internet until one day, Mairead told me that her family was going through a financial crisis, but since she was moving on from fetish art, she urged me to go on and do commissions for her, teaching me how to use Fur Affinity and her PayPal so that she would get enough money to help ease her family's crisis. We were both so satisfied with the results that we kept up this plan - me using her PayPal to financially support her. I was essentially her employee! XD

But after a while, due to the holidays and our own separate family matters, we took a long break from this. After the family matters were over, she started making plans to finally start her new business, Ekaki•No•Mi Arts, Crafts and More, this March. By now, I have had much more experience with how to use the Internet (I'm a fast learner), and have created my own PayPal address, separate from Mairead's.I can't reveal it here, but you'll know about it the next time I respond to your commission letters.

Mairead has asked me to leave her old work and not delete it, so that interested people can see how it's changed over the years, and has asked me to keep my work PG-rated, because we both hate drawing really sexed-up inflations.

Thank you all for your wonderful support, and I hope to continue to FILL (pun intended) your days with fun.

And so does Mairead, who will soon be opening her own Fur Affinity account, under the name "ekakinomiforgrownups". ("forgrownups" meaning she really doesn't want kids visiting this site, due to the lewd ads a lot of NSFW artists put up. Seriously, you can see them even if you have adult content turned off! And they're borderline explicit! You definitely don't want kids to see that.)

I just got news that my dad caught pneumonia. I'm very sad and worried right now, and I'm sorry to say that I can't do your commissions right now. I'll tell you when things get better.

...commissions will be open again after Valentine's day!

Unfortunately, I only accept single commissions every Friday now.

I'm sure that pretty much all of my inflation friends know what these words are. But I'm wondering...what sounds are they trying to describe? I mean, I know they're stretching sounds that something inflatable would make when they're stretching out bigger than they should, and I suppose they're pretty accurate, but I just don't know what specific sounds they're supposed to be associated with. All I can think about is a real high-pitched creak from a squeaky metal hinge or a small creak from a door or old floor-boards, and a low groan from anything big that is given more weight than it can support. It would be nice to know what the "creak" and "groan" would actually sound like. I've been seeing these words for years through-out various inflation art but never, ever knew exactly what it would actually sound like. Could any of you help me? Like, send me a sound clip or something?

Thank you for your time.

Hellowm, Shalom!! :-D

I'm back from my (very enjoyable) vacation to my Gramma's house, 4 states and 12 hours away from our home.

Me and Gram missed each other SO much. It's just not the same talking on the phone, and stress and over-stimulation can pent up overtime without someone to snuggle and share my secrets with.

My Gramma's house is like a vacation spot--it's a small, tranquil house with two couches, a spacey kitchen, pretty decorations and lots of natural light, just to name a few things. She has a lovely back-yard with lots of trees, and green grass. It is right next to a spacious field (who is owned by a grumpy old man who won't let anyone play in it), but at least you can see the sun and moon come up over the horizon every morning and night. They come up to the right of me in very clear sight when I'm on a swing that Dad installed on a tree long time ago. There is also a big oak tree and many kinds of flowers.

As for life in Gramma's house, it is very peaceful and quiet. Most of my days were spent laying on the couch, guzzling down iced tea, doodling and talking with Gram about all of the cool things that happened lately. Because I had no access to internet, though, I had nothing to draw often--so I have ended up sharpening my skills in two areas--pattern-drawing and fashion design (as well as character design). I also got to spend quality time with Gram's sweet, chubby smoky-pattern cat named Yujomitsu (Yujo=friendship; Mitsu=light, the number 3, or the hungarian word for "cat"), who was utterly adorable. We gave him a Japanese name because, obviously, I share my favorite anime with her, too. I also played computer games, and swung on my swing. I also spent some time at my Godparents' house, and went to me and Gram's favorite restaurant. But aside from everything, she spoiled me. And in return, I got up and did favors for her (such as being a gopher in the kitchen).

Though after 4 months of no internet and almost no modes of transportation, I quickly got bored, however was still comforted by the presence of Gram and the peace of her house. I got my giant to-do list of requests done, but after that, I had nothing else to draw (I get bored without your requests!!), and I made many random doodles and patterns (and fashions). Because Christmas time's a-coming, we got many an educational toy catalog (namely HearthSong, Mindware, Museum Tour and Young Explorers) and also, a catalog from Figi's (a small Wisconsin company that produces severely over-priced sausages and cheese and other goodies, in teeny-tiny portions). I spent a lot of time reading those, and although I found some of the coolest things ever in there, I read them over and over and over and over again...my brain was getting no new information...I was stuck in one place...my brain was feeding off of information I already knew...and so it was eating itself. Way to go, brain.

THOUGH...I have been extremely interested in these super-cool anthro fashion dolls that have come out recently. They have encouraged me to start designing costumes as well as characters, so that someday I can design outfits for existing fursonas (so they won't walk around wearing a t-shirt/tank top, jeans, and a jacket).

They are King Charles spaniels (although the blonde one was initially based on the creator's sister's cocker spaniel) with cute, chubby anthro bodies, actual eyelashes (not just painted on) and brushable...ears.
These dolls are about as articulated as a Barbie with elbows, except the legs can bend up to 90 degrees, instead of just 45. This will make for a variety of cute fashion poses!

And speaking of toys, I have recently discovered the wonders of Friendly Plastic. This is a special thermo-plastic that will become squishy and SCULPTABLE when you dip it in warm water. If I can master Friendly Plastic, that means I can create my own toys, too!!! 8-D

As such, I will probably need to learn to sew soon (or at least learn to use a sewing machine) to make clothing for my Pinkie Cooper dolls (the spaniels) and my original dolls. Fun! 8-D

Also, as a part of the turning Japanese I did for all these years, I have grown an appreciation for English/French aristocracy themes, such as elegant decorations, frilly dresses, and fancy sweet treats. I had once baked a mug cake--and surely enough, after 1 minute in the microwave, the batter became a perfect cake--just mug-sized! It had made me realize that any cake recipe can be a mug cake recipe if I fraction the ingredients properly. I also realized that every drop of the batter can all fit into a single cupcake paper--meaning that I can turn my mug cakes into single cupcakes, and therefore practice my cake-decorating skills. My Godmother's mother gave me a very old cake decorating set she didn't want anymore. Cool!

So that is 3 new hobbies that I can enjoy in the near future! :-D

This year has truly been the best year of my life...

As for Halloween and Thanksgiving...

Halloween: I got to go Trick-Or-Treating with my Godmother, who dressed as a cat. I dressed up as a classic vampire and had my face done to look undead. I really spooked a couple of people.The houses had very cool decorations, and I saw lots of cool costumes...and got an impressive haul of candy, too! At the end of the night, me and my Godmother ordered a quick meal from Sonic and we stopped at Gram's house and chatted, and we drank Sabbath Wine (oranges, cloves, apple cider and cinnamon boiled hot).

Thanksgiving: Mom promised that she would visit Athens that October (she likes Athens a lot), and see the Wild Rumpus parade down-town (which was also incredible). Gram thought that Thanksgiving was more important to her than Christmas, so although Mom only stayed in Athens for a week, she would come back to fetch Gram for Thanksgiving. However, that was a month later than the week she spent in Athens. I wanted to spend time with Gram, so we agreed that she would drive home without me, and I would stay at Gram's until Thanksgiving. Surely enough, I did. And although I got really, really bored in some parts, it was well worth it. As for Thanksgiving, it was very enjoyable. I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which was very inspiring and cool for me, as always. Then I took a nap, as Mom cooked dinner. Finally, we ate (and told each other what we were thankful for). It was very pleasant and happy.

Also, apparently a fluffy grey kitten kept wandering around in the courtyard. Our neighbor nick-named her "Ivy". We had to let Ivy in one cold night, and after that, she didn't want to leave. Ever. So she's ours now. And she wasn't a stray in the first place--she used to belong to someone, then she got abandoned. So she adopted us as her new family. She is adorable, just like Franny.

Besides Thanksgiving, I had a lot of fun with Gram in Lafayette, exploring the town with her and showing her new things. :-3

"Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You"

This song, previously released by mistake under the artist name "Marika The Little Coyote", is my very first completed song. (I make music, too!). I wanted to make music using FL Studio, but I thought it was hopeless, until I discovered Piano Roll. Because I'm using a trial version, I have to save them in several parts and put them together in Audacity, which is very careful work--if you don't put it together correctly, it is choppy. This is my first complete song, so it is VERY choppy. However, it is so one-of-a-kind and experimental that I don't know how to remake it.

I've tried for two years to make lyrics to the song, but I just...couldn't. The song is supposed to be about a girl who is really really obsessed with a boy, wants to get his number, has pictures all over her wall, etc....you know what I mean.

So if anybody is willing to listen to the song and write some lyrics to fit the melody...please :-3

I've been curious to know the song in this video

http://flipnote.hatena.com/1A42EBD0.....8D_001?in=user

I'm pretty sure most of you AMERICANS won't know because YOU DON'T LISTEN TO VOCALOID.

Oh, and this one too: http://flipnote.hatena.com/159F40C0.....92006287773803 I've been trying to find it FOREVER, but to no avail

I was in bed, and I felt happy and psychedelic because I was fever dreaming, with one dream involving me getting to scooter to the grocery store all by myself. the grocery store was called "Olivia" in the dream. Then something fell off my bed, I screamed, went back to bed and woke up at 3:21 am.

When I woke up, I got a fifty dolar check in birthday money from my Auntie Kim in Toronto. So we went on a shopping spree.

first I went to the mall. After some wandering around, I went into a toy store and got a little key chain skunk. I named it "Ittekimaskunku" after the skunk in "Popopopon". Since I already had two plushie friends, I gave Itteki-kun to Mollie. But since she's imaginary and can't hold anything, I clipped him to my shirt so she can still play without the hassle. The toystore was great--it was full of surprises--but we went other places too. I also got a mango julius, some cookies and a new bikini.

Next, we went to the pet supplies store just to browse. I looked at the toy section because it's one of the only places to carry foxes, skunks, raccoons, etc. And, I needed to look at cat towers 'cuz I'll be working on Catlaidiez soon, and the buildings are based on cat towers, etc. And the dwarf hamsters (or "pikachus") were cute. But I didn't buy anything.

Then we went downtown to Cillies clothing. The main shopkeeper (my family's friend Cat) reserved a special sparkly leotard for when I had money. I had money, so I got it!

Then I went to Junkman's Daughter's Brother to browse 10 minutes before closing, with quite a surprise--a little Anpanman! (I have been in a little Anpanman phase recently, and have been watching episodes, so it was a surprise to see him there) so I bought him, and said "Just put him in a bag, make sure no-one sees him and MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T MELT."

...so next thing I know, I come home, it's thundering, I'm dressed up as Superstar Man and writing about my day. All in all, though, I was happy(er than I was before). (-:

In case you didn't know, sometimes I go searching for H-games, or at the very least their themesongs (which are speedy, squeaky and techno-y for the most part). I don't look at it for the naughty bits. I don't like those. But the rest, is super cute and colorful.

While I was looking for speedy techno songs, I came across a game called "Wan Wan Moo Moo Usa Usa KON!" (わんわんもーもーうさうさこーん), and its themesong, "Bubbly Vanilla Panic". And if you can match the onomatopoeia to the corresponding animals, then this game is about a dog girl, a cow girl, a rabbit girl and a fox girl! (Kemonomimi, not entirely kemono, but still.) I can't believe nobody in America knows about it!
