I am still in the process of going through the commissions.

Two points:
If I already have talked to you about yours, you are still on the list and I am getting to it. Sorry it has been taking over a month to get around to them all. xb
If you messaged me and I haven't replied, it is because I am clearing the first ones first before getting to new ones. Sorry for the delay. |o

Overall, I am having to work with some housing stuff that takes priority. Also when I finish through these commissions, I intend to continue to stay open to hope and do them as they come in. So don't worry about not getting a chance if you missed these journals.

After so long I am finally opening commissions up starting this week. Reasons include finances, but I want to just open them up and just be more active and draw more overall. I'm sure there is a lot of things people want me to draw of their characters and other things I haven't drawn in a while.

A few things:
I'm open on the Buxom side too if you have been wanting something from me in related to those characters!
Get in contact with me and we can discuss what you may want.
I also charge when I start working for first time commissioners.
I'm going to prioritize commissions that interest me the most.

I'm gone for a week and they nuked the gender dropdown and also auto-tagged all pics with whatever the dropdown was set to. It might not even be relevant to the tags.

Browsing Hyper is going to be very awkward now.

The real problem is not even informing the userbase of the possibility of doing it. It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission, right?

I still keep discovering that a lot of people who I know I would have watched is no longer being watched. I thought it might be that they soft blocked me (don't do this, btw), but I still find myself watching content I would never watch.

It also doesn't help that not all uploads make it into my submission notifications. I know this, because if I don't clear it, posts can show up on older pages that weren't there before. If I clear submissions, they never show up.

I'm finally using the group and subfolders to organize my images. That way you can tell what is canon, alt, and specifically look for OCs or fanart.
It is going to take a while though.

However, you can always use the search tool with twotonneko or two-ton-neko (for older stuff) since I at least 90% of the time use them consistently.

I drew a short TeamKO intro comic!

I decided to try and start up a project. The first installment is small with only a handful of pages, but I thought it would be a good start to see how people react.

I'll be doing several pages at a time. My focus is to release regular updates over detailed pages. To get through a bullet point timeline I wrote up.

If it does well, I can keep working on it, expand it, and maybe look into selling stuff to help financially support me.


I'll be uploading it soon here and other sites, so look forward to it!

I haven't been feeling it and just have been gaming in my free time.


There are things I want to post, but I haven't had the drive to finish them up. That's how things are.

I've been busy drawing and I have lots to upload. In the mean time I upgraded my way of shading pics, but that won't reflect on all these older things I have yet to upload.

So there will be a bounce of quality all over the place.

Since even Steam is abandoning Windows 7 and 8.1, I have to update.

Is anyone aware if there is a function in W11 where I can drag and arrange the order of images? Ever since I moved from XP, I had to modify 7 to allow me to do this.

I don't think this is possible in later OS.

I have a dental bill I need to pay for (replacing a failing filling with a crown). So to help pay for this, I was wondering if I should do an art drive.

But I am drawing a total blank on what character it would be. Any suggestions?

Not even a compromise of having larger image width if your file size is smaller?

No more full renders on FA people. This site was my perfect user experience. Other sites was just to upload and check comments on and never to browse.

You'll find all my work on dA at full res is for free for me and for you.



How can dA offer max res for free when it's interface is complete shit? I've done this before where I've had to link dA uploads in my FA uploads, but I didn't like it. It was a miserable time. It made me almost abandon FA before.

I'll see if I can adjust or something changes. If neither turns out, I might stop caring about doing this anymore.

So I've been drawing a lot lately. Like crazy amounts. I don't have a process anymore. I just go with what I start putting on the canvas.

I've been avoiding commissions, because I can't really set time aside to do it. Art comes when it comes. Anything I do outside of this is from unique timing. I start drawing the second I even think I like an idea.

[Commissions?]
If I do start doing commissions, they will be spontaneous. If I post work, it is likely something I finally got to finish or I did on the spot. I won't be planning ahead and will just do what happens.

[Trades?]
In the past I have been asked to do trades by a few artists I admire. I have had to decline them all, because of some of my shortcomings. I will now pursue trades with others. Maybe this will motivate me into doing commissions, collaborations, or some other community related things.


Trying to do things in order hasn't been working for me anymore. These last couple years made me realize how much better I am for just doing what I want, when I want it.

It is time I just let art happen.

Some of you may have noticed I was gone for a few weeks.

I was feeling increasingly exhausted for reasons I didn't know why. I was sleeping as much as I usually do, eating regularly even differently and specifically. However I was declining to the point that I was having trouble breathing. So I went to the clinic to get checked. They told me they didn't have the right equipment and I had to go to the hospital.

After arriving and answering questions I lost consciousness. It turns out making the choice to seek help was the smart thing to do, because I stopped breathing. I was put on a ventilator right away. Most people put on one do not survive. I am extremely lucky it happened where I was.

However, if it wasn't for my mother who is a former nurse, they wouldn't have been able to find out what was wrong with me. I was a mess. She was persistent with them and went through all the symptoms I had. It turns out I have diabetes 2. My blood sugar was so high that it was going to kill me. Yes, something as simple as consuming too much sugar can do this. Sugar is in almost everything and it took this long for it to finally effect me.

Diabetes is something that most people don't even know they have. Some just find out after a doctor visit with blood work. Even the healthiest of people.


I won't go into specifics about the full hospital visit this time. I did have to go through some physical therapy and various other testing. I have been out of the hospital for almost two weeks and will still need time recovering. I'll be okay. I recover fast it seems. I will have to change the what I eat and I can return to normal. It will take discipline and a stable routine.


I am in the clear and already on my way back. I'll just be pacing myself and poking around. I hope you all are doing well and wish you all take care of yourself so you don't end up like what almost happened to me.

Buxom = Two-Ton-Neko


It was always obvious. I just didn't want to associate the accounts with each other.

I made Buxom to have a gallery with just human stuff to not isolate those who don't like furs too much. However being coy about it is really limiting myself with that approach.

I'll just draw what I like and upload to the account that is appropriate.

I was gone since the middle of last week. So I'm back and uploading stuff I meant to upload in the beginning of last week. Look out for it starting tomorrow. =D

I'll also be working on commissions from people that have been waiting and asking to open myself up to that again. Stay tuned.

In case anyone was wondering, I've been absent minded and distracted by other things. I keep forgetting to upload things, sleeping properly, and get onto commissions. I'll be trying to get into all those things. Please be patient with me if you asked for a commission recently.

FA still won't let you edit a submission thumbnail at all when the image is too big.

Between FA thumbnails breaking when the image is too big and dA being absolute shit now, its a pretty awful situation. To have to scale down an image and ask people to see the full render on dA when I don't want anyone going back there anymore.

If I can't look at a group of submission thumbnails at the same time and X them out quickly and a group at a time, then it isn't worth my time to browse.

I'll still upload there, but I'm not going to browse on it anymore. Not unless they get rid of all the bloat.

Ever since the beginning I have been using hotmail as my mainstay email for my art. It eventually changed to Outlook Express. And now its become increasingly worse in every way. So I will eventually transfer over to gmail which I know works just fine.

So if you get mail from anywhere BUT "twotonneko" at gmail or my old email, consider it suspicious.


ALSO

Deviantart seems to be forcing everyone to the horrible new format. It takes more clicks to get somewhere, it loads slower, everything is bloated. If its so bad I might not be using dA for anything but to upload anymore. Sorry. You can find me here on FurAffinity if that happens. The only problem I have with FA these days is that they don't seriously handle scammers.

I'm going to start trying to do commissions again, but I'm going to try to ease my way into a flow. If you wanted one or are on my waiting list, message me so we can discuss it. Prices did change and we'll have to reevaluate.

...since January?!

I'm so glad I asked for this. I have been wanting this kind of feature for a gallery for several years and now we finally have it.

All I need to do now is just go back through every submission and remove the excess info. *cries* At least it will be.. for the last time.~

STATUS
I've almost lost track of what I was doing. I drew some more art that needs finishing and I might have decided on commission prices for now. I'll be finishing these pics while people look over the updates.

UPLOADS
I'm uploading more pics with variants.

COMMISSIONS
New prices for the time being. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8027900/

Bumped them up a bit to more even numbers in regards to full characters. Smaller, less dominant characters and details will always be lower as usual. Backgrounds could end up being varied depending on what you want and how elaborate they can be. I'll always try to push myself a step at a time to get better with them. Anyone wanting more than just character drawings will have to discuss prices with me and time.

Just a heads up that when I start up commissions again, I might be increasing the prices of certain tiers. Considering economy inflation and that I spend even more time on pics I do, I'm going to have to demand more, especially when pics take so much time to do with the more elaborate character designs and bigger sizes.

I'm just throwing this up here to sit on it for a bit to see what I'm comfortable with increasing.

Commission rates and speculations as they are now: [I updated them now and the new prices are pretty much implemented]
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8027900/

Its weird how if a submission is large enough it breaks the thumbnail. It completely ignores replacing the thumbnail too. You have to update the submission to be smaller to do anything with it. And updating the source file back into a large one eliminates the thumbnail.

So if anyone is wondering why I don't upload full res images here all the time, that is why. Check my dA for that instead.

I have a few things I like but its important to mention things that I don't or think are missing.

I like:
All the upload info is on the right without having to scroll.
Featured Image actually fills space and is easy to see! =D

I do not like:
Links in submission descriptions don't stand out from all the text. They're missing hotlink underlines.
That Bold, Italicized, Underline and Link code buttons are still not in the submission UI.
Select All, Invert Selection, Nuke, etc are not on the TOP and bottom of the Notification lists.

What does not seem to work:
The Previous and Next links on submissions are not visible if they work at all.


Overall I can get used to how it looks now because I can still find all the features! No other site seems to remember how important that is. I just wish I could change the mode to light because I don't like dark on FA.
