On its own, a YCH comm is fine, it's a preplanned pose/scene you pay to put your character in. The problem is how they're used in practice. You'd think the fact that a YCH skips posing, prep time and sketching ideas, and gets straight to line work would make it cheaper than a commission, but most of the time they end up being more expensive for some reason?

Part of this is how they are priced. Some are multi slots that you just claim at a flat price, and these tend to be more reasonable, but the other method is bidding. Starting bids tend to be below comm prices, but auto-buys tend to have massively overinflated prices, and what happens when you introduce fomo into the equation? Well the auto-buy becomes the price because other people want to AB before you do.

So in practice, you pay more for less, and on the commissioners side this sucks.

Same problems apply to adopts, really.

My plead to artists is to just flat price the damn things according to what you think is reasonable instead of FOMO driven fake bidding system that is an illusion. There is no bidding, just the AB. Or at the very least make the AB price more reasonable. When I see an artist of similar quality to another charging 5x the price through YCHs you can guess which one I'm going to prefer.

IOU for a dogborg vore comm I'm waiting on.

Celebrate irresponsibly, tear into your food. TF your friends.

Hi!. I am awful about responding to comments on my work, I just usually don't have a response in the moment.

But I do appreciate them, glad you like my silly characters :3

I love Tyranids :3

Good afternoon!

Decided to cleanup and organize my content better, all my characters and content are sorted into folders now for easier browsing, and I have deleted some old journals since a few of them were related to old news. Might have missed some things but it's probably fine.

Focusing on getting more monster art and corruption/TF/body horror themed art in the future! It makes me pretty comfy...

New Year, New Me

This year I am planning to really lean more into monsters, corruption, robots, and general inhumanity. I know I kinda already do, but I am gonna focus on it more deliberately. Depending on how things pan out I hope to get some actual projects out and give my characters some proper lore based around that new focus.

Anyway, I'd say happy new year but I think we all know this is gonna be a turbulent one, so good luck and hopefully this year ends up being a good one overall.

Stats aren't particularly important for someone who just commissions stuff, but I thought it'd be fun to give it a lookover.

Amongst the most favorited of the year include:

1: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52196002/ (81F, 959V)
I did not expect this of all pieces to be my most popular, cus while it is pretty good it's also one of the more extreme and horny pieces I've gotten. Guess you all just like oversexed bimbo monsters getting hooked up and brainwashed, who knew?

2: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/53845442/ (67F, 479V)
Busty ferals seem to consistently rank pretty highly in favorites, and that doesn't really surprise me given it's pretty hard to A: find good busty feral art and B: find artists that will do it. Glad people like them because I will get more. Personally I think I prefer Petra in her more feral form!

Another busty feral with lots of favs, also one of my favorite of all times, rashchaos went all out and went above and beyond even the reference I gave, so huge credit to them. Gotta love the dogborgs!

This one just isn't fair since it's been my featured submission since I uploaded the piece. That said it's a very good one and I'm glad it's gotten some recognition!

Another busty feral, and a Tyranid! No surprises it's done well.

A couple of underrated posts that feel skipped over:

- https://www.furaffinity.net/view/52866215/ (15F, 174V)
It's a really cool space bug with pretty colors and boob, surprised it isn't more popular.

Hyper drone fun with all the kinkiness one could desire.

So what does this all mean?

Well, in general it seems the people that see my posts really like busty ferals, hyper sizes, bimbos, and scalie monsters. Petra is quite the popular raptor as well.
What people seem to not like as much are insectoids, and drones surprisingly? Fat/Inflation seems middling too but I don't comm much of it.

This won't change what I comm or anything, but it was interesting to see what does the numbers. With a better financial situation than at the start of the year I hope to keep commissioning stuff more frequently, maybe get some fancier and more expensive pieces if I get the right idea.

Now this is where I do the Phillip DiFranco bit of asking you, the person reading this, to comment your thoughts and what you like to see, except I'll actually read them unlike every youtuber who asks for comments.

Also have a happy holidays and new years if you celebrate them, and if you don't hopefully you at least got some time off work to relax!
