As a very belated follow on from this previous journal, I've gone back through my gallery based on the feedback received.

The following stories are now instead uploaded as PDFs rather than .docx or similar, and the full text of the story is available in the description of each submission:

It's time to move onto something bigger
Unexpected attention
Efforts to expand a draconic grimoire

More recently uploaded stories were already presented in this way, so no changes have been made to those.

If you haven't already read the above three, now would be an ideal time to do so. I like them a lot. And if you find yourself reading this, there's every chance you will too.

Greetings. It's been a while since I posted one of these - almost a year, in fact. There's plenty to cover here, so I'll get straight to it.

Where else to find me

Dragoneer's passing was deeply unfortunate. It was through FA that I both discovered so much of what this community had to offer, and made some my first connections after finally de-lurking. I feel I owe him much for all he did to keep this place up and running.
I'm aware that FA's remaining staff have announced that they fully intend to keep things going once they've handled the practicalities which come with the loss of someone at the top of the organisation.
Similarly, I intend to continue to upload and maintain a presence here. It is always worthwhile to have backup plans though, so now's as good a time as any to notify you of other platforms I use.

I no longer use Twitter as I do not support the practices of its new owner.
Instead, I am on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/torvanskir.bsky.social
A while back I also set up a Telegram broadcast channel, though as of yet I've left it largely unutilised.

So, a question: Would you value art/story posts also being available through a Telegram channel?

Diversifying

From day one, this has always been intended as a side account where I engage in whatever kinks I want. These have so far primarily been massively beefy characters and size theft.
Those themes will continue to be present, though I'll also be indulging in others from time to time. There have already been some vore (and vore-adjacent) pieces in the past, and the occasional round dinosaur. It's likely there will be more of those in future too.

Other characters

I've so far been largely keeping this account focused on a couple of characters, and mostly along the theme of feral muscle.
I have a few other characters who are also very much big boys but are exclusively portrayed as anthros.
I'm somewhat on the fence as to whether to post their art here too. On the one hand, a lot of it is undoubtedly hot as hell. On the other, it'd dilute the focus here somewhat.

A second question, then: Would you you be interested in seeing more beefy anthro characters here, or prefer things to stay largely feral-centric?

My own creative endeavours

Having others make nice things for me is undoubtedly pleasing. I would also like to make some works of my own, however.
What form these will take exactly is a little up in the air. I have a 3d model of my dragon, though it is not yet in a state which is usable for animations and the likes. It still needs rigging, and before that, I may decide to shift the proportions about somewhat.
A couple of people have already come forward to offer help with getting up & running on that front (to whom I'm very grateful!). I may yet take up their offers of assistance, or just have a go at it myself.

That aside, it'll come as no surprise that I consider writing and interactive experiences to also be excellent vectors for horny energy.
I intend to do some writing myself, and ultimately I'd like to make some kind of game around that. RPG mechanics and numbers going up are very gratifying. Especially when other numbers go down in tandem.
To that end, I've been engaging in a little bit of horny roleplay with a close friend recently which has been very gratifying in its own right, as well as useful in terms of practice for my own prose.
It is possible I may look to do more of this in future, and perhaps with others, though time constraints limit just how much of this I'd be likely to get up to.
I remind you that this is not something I am looking to do with strangers. I am extremely selective about who I engage in this sort of thing with. Do not approach me for this reason alone. It will not go well for you.

F-list

Recently a friend suggested that I put together F-list profiles for my characters. The site feels like it's pretty handy when it comes to profiling kinks and such, so I've made a start on that.
You can find the first one here: https://www.f-list.net/c/torvanskir/
Consider this a work in progress for now; future updates to come later.

I'm there now, too. If you also are and would like to follow, feel free.

I know that not everyone has been able to get their hands on an invite code yet, though if they continue to be distributed at their current rate, their availability will be increase greatly in the weeks ahead.

I will likely be considerably less active on twitter going forward, as I find that site far less enjoyable to use in its current form.

Edited to add: For clarity, I'll still be posting stuff here too. I wouldn't want to go without a gallery site!

For those of you who enjoy reading them on here:

- What's your preferred file format? My uploads here have just been in the formats I received from the respective authors, though if there's a general preference for one filetype over another, I'd be quite willing to bear that in mind for future uploads (as well as converting existing ones).

- Do you prefer to have the story itself available within the description text of the upload (when feasible), as well as in the attached file?

I have a few more stories I've not yet uploaded here, so it'd be useful to know of any preferences ahead of time. Some of these are from earlier on, back when I was feeling things out a bit, and as such are with one-shot characters who I came up with on each occasion (alongside some others the author helpfully came up with).
Thematically they're similar to more recent pieces, though: there is size theft aplenty, with all those gains going to a very good cause.

The purpose of this journal is going to be twofold.

First up: I've come to realise it's already been over a year since I started this account up. Time, it marches on!
Over the course of that, quite a number of you have taken the time to leave comments on the things I've posted here, and for that I'm genuinely thankful. I read all of them, even though I don't always respond to them - and more often that not, that's simply because I don't have anything hugely insightful to offer in response other than to offer my appreciation.
I don't always have a whole lot of social energy to spare, so I'll say it just the once here instead: Thanks for all the kind words. They mean much. <3

Secondly, I should address that very small minority of comments where the judgement of those who left them was not so good. It is worth bearing in mind that everything on this page is commissioned first and foremost for myself. The target demographic is a single individual, though I choose to share it on here because I expect there's a fair number of people with these same shared interests too.
With that in mind, you should not complain if an image doesn't happen to feature a dick, or voice your disappointment if the size or level of arousal of the dick is not to your liking. The same applies to all other aspects of the piece.
Consider that not all artists are willing to draw feral nsfw content, and of those that do, some might be more restrained in the proportions they're willing to depict. Besides, I may not necessarily feel the need for a piece to be particularly explicit. There are plenty of other reasons aside from that too; I don't feel the need to list them all here.

Rest assured that the overwhelming majority of you are absolutely fine; the second point applies only to a very small number of individuals. I thought it best to address it here rather than leaving this unsaid.
I don't demand your reverence*, though I do require your respect.

*Though if it's offered, who am I to decline?

Moods shift over time, and while there is certainly a lot more oversized dragon beef on the way, the future also holds more of our now-powerfully built tyrannosaur friend.
(He still needs a name. I'll aim to address that at some point, though it is - for me at least - the hardest decision in creating a character)

I have several things else to upload already, but I'll be holding off on those for a little while. Principally because that last sequence will now be getting a 5th and 6th part, and I'd very much like for them to all be adjacent in the gallery. These next parts are 2-character pieces, and the rest you'll find out when they're done. Until then, I'll let your imagination get to work!
There are a couple more rex pieces beyond those already in progress as well. He's ended up looking a bit bigger in those than even I intended, though I'm more than happy to run with that!

In short: more visual art of the two big fellas of various shades of blue, alongside a few stories as well. Because stories are art too.

Additionally, given how rare it is to see powerful prehistoric ferals around these parts, I'll likely post a journal or two to highlight some pieces deserving of attention. FA does not make discoverability particularly easy, so this seems the best way to put at least something of a spotlight on art which falls into that particular niche.

Some of you may be wondering why I mark a number of submissions as mature or adult when there aren't even any dicks showing. Simply put, when choosing content rating I make my assessment based on what the intent of the piece is - if it's a showcase of kinks with the sole aim of arousal, I'm probably going to mark it as Mature at the very least, regardless of what body parts happen to be on display.
It is also a decision I tend make for sequences as a whole: if latter parts are sufficiently spicy, I'm likely to flag the whole thing as Adult, even if the early stages are relatively tame.
So I'm setting ratings more based on the spirit of the rules rather than they're specifically worded. As such, the content ratings I assign here will sometimes be more toward the adult end of things than if I went by the wording of the rules exactly (but importantly, not the other way round).

All of this is largely immaterial given that I expect my gallery here to overwhelmingly attract the attention of those who are old enough to choose what they look at - and furthermore, who are here to indulge in their kinks.
