Hello! I am working on a growth drive comic currently!

All commissions are closed (except for one delay), so thank you all for your support during this tough financial time for me! You are all so wonderful

Heya,

So as you may have seen on my Bluesky, I made an ill-advised purchase just after another ill-advised purchase. So I need to recoup my losses.
Recoup Loss recovery: 683 of 615!

I have already pledged to pay me enough to recoup the losses. However, if I get these done fast enough I may open up to a few more, but if a month passes and I don't want to do it I will dissolve the waitlist after Heesh. Reply to this journal if you are interested nonetheless.
END-OF-MONTH-UPDATE:
I got enough finished that I feel happy to finish everyone's drawing in March!
Though I am closing and re-ordering the waitlist a little due to some details.


Here is the waitlist of those who are putting me to work to fix up my self-debt:

Hey guys, just finished my commissions! That took a while longer than expected!

I just wanted to let you know I really appreceated all of you who applied for a commish. It really helped me out!

I don't know when I will be open for commissions again, but i can always be convinced with enough money and a good idea!

Until then, I will be working on my video game and trying to find a job IRL.

Toodles!

Waitlist:
1.  BarsFromMars
2:  Emolsifier
3.  Wilgeon

outbid understudies:
1.  barrettthegriff
2.  reececav27
3.  dracan

This is the waitlist as of now. Thank you so much for your interest. I will be going through and talking to each person who made the waitlist to make sure they are committed to any pricing their idea has. If anyone backs out, the "understudy" waitlist will take their spot, in thier respective order.
If you did not make the waitlist:
I assure you it was very difficult to narrow it down to these 3. Your ideas were great! But the challenge of limiting my production will encourage me to open up for commissions again in the future! Please feel free to apply again, and I will take into consideration how you almost made it last time. Thank you again!

this journal will be edited with the final results

Hello! I really want to get FA+ and get some extra furry muns for the year and to do so I need to open for commissions! _{(which is hard for me)}

So, a 3 person long waitlist has been "opened!"

How do you get on said waitlist? Fill out this form:
THE WAITLIST COMMISSION FORM
^^^___click link above!!!___^^^

CLICK ME FOR COMMISSION TYPES & PRICING HERE

I will be doing a super short waitlist. Anything more than 4 and I lose steam.

Waitlist:
1.  BarsFromMars
2:  Emolsifier
3.  Wilgeon

outbid understudies:
1.  barrettthegriff
2.  reececav27
3.  dracan


I will be choosing those who go on the waitlist by a number of factors:
-How much I like the idea
-How long I may have been promising you a potential commission
-A good mix of short and long commissions
AND
-"Front tipping:" You may promise a tip (that will be due at invoice) on top of the base price that will very likely give you priority on the list. Think of it like a bid.

Hello,

As some of you may know, I had some trouble with Ko-Fi this past week. Before I could finish the commissions, my account was closed.

I thought I had finished everyone's commission, but as it turns out I am missing ONE.

IF YOU HAVE PAID FOR AN IPAD COMMISSION FROM ME AND DID NOT GET IT FROM ME, LET ME KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

I know your IRL paypal names via paypal, but I cant pair it up with the request or drawing.
Please send me a note telling me who you are and was your commission was! All that info has been lost on Ko-Fi!

I WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO KNOW IF YOU ARE LYING, SO DONT BOTHER.

I am sorry for the inconvenience, I will not be using Ko-Fi ever again. EDIT ok maybe I will but I am going to be super stealthy about it.

Hey there! Just wanted to let you all know I am trying to make use of Ko-Fi a bit more with some casual commissions! Get some sketches/quick drawings from me that I will make on my iPad with quick turnaround!

Request a drawing here: <<LINK DELETED>>

Because Ko-Fi is a somewhat non-furry place, I'll be keeping the art somewhat safer than usual, so while I am happy to draw whatever, it needs to be "plausibly" somewhere between SFW and softcore.

Currently I'm limiting it to 10 slots, so gets yours while you can!

EDIT: Commissions are now closed because KoFi closed my account for violating rules without specifying why. I will be no longer accepting commissions until I figure out a new way to have fun and casual drawings

Hello everyone,

This past year has not gone according to plan, between my health and my employment situation, commissions slowed to standstill and in the ensuing time my needs have changed as an artist and a member of this fandom. I have been struggling enjoying the process of creation.

Part of my self-rehabilitation is clearing out my wait-list. I don't want to draw for anyone anymore unless I want to. Will I draw for people again? Yes, but not in a waitlist format. Most likely in a stream, pay-by-the-hour like I used to years ago. Also gifts and trades may still happen, but don't ask for them right now.

I appreciate your patience for those who have waited, and I apologize for not following through. Since I do not charge until after I start working on a piece there is no harm done.

I wish you all the best.

-Tyco

Hello All ^^

So I figured with the latest completion of 's commission, I would finalize the phantom wait list into a realized one.

So if you're on it, great! If not... sorry maybe next time! No more slots coming in the near future. It takes me forever to get these done it seems!

The Commission List:
1.  emolsifier complete
2.  blak-dragon-boymk2 complete
3.  moomular complete
4.  blkdragon complete
5.  Borusa-Ryalam complete
6.  RotundRat complete
7.  docodile
8.  Velo
9.  Tombfyre

THIS LIST HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY CANCELLED AS OF 4/7/2021

Hello,

As I near completion of my professional website and reel to get a new job, people have been very encouragingly asking when I will be opening to commissions again. I figured, just to keep track of things, that I tentatively open a non-committal wait-list that I shall call a "Phantom Wait-list"

Why the silly name? Because I have not solidified my commission pricing, so I don't want to make anyone feel obligated to stay if I price too high. Also, i may close the wait-list if I suddenly get a job or something. Since I don't take money until I get an approved sketch (which I don't do until its your turn on the list) nothing is at risk. Also I will not being capping it or stating a goal length of the list. Feel free to message me here or via DM to get a slot.

Here is the PHANTOM WAIT-LIST as of now:

1.  emolsifier
2.  blak-dragon-boymk2
3.  Mekal
4.  moomular
5.  blkdragon
6.  Borusa-Ryalam
7.  RotundRat
8.  docodile
9.  Velo
10. Open

SO I was laid off work this week because they wanted to downsize the department. Its been tough to process.

I am doing fine, but I am still upset about it, and I probably will be for a while.

Either way, I am glad to have this community to keep me company. I figured you guys would appreciate the silver lining in that I'll be around much more now that I am officially freelancing.

Maybe I'll open for commissions again. More likely I'll be up for hourly work during streams.

Anywhoo! Look forward to re-connecting with ya'll!

If you follow me on twitter, you'll see that I have been steadily adding a random fact for every like the first tweet gets. My goal is to reach 100 at some point in the future! I'll then shift to lewd facts!
Add a like if you haven't already:
https://twitter.com/Tyranozilla/sta.....54382036602880

Here is the list so far here, formatted for easy reading experience:

For every like this tweet gets, I'll try to come up with a random fact about Tyco
1: Tyco cannot do a handstand, even with assistance. He is just too big and heavy. 2: Tyco can smell how you are feeling with his forked tongue. He uses this ability as a crutch in social arrangements, you can tell if he is worried about what you think of him if he keeps flicking his tongue at you during a conversation

3: Tyco could wear pants if he wanted to, but since his bits are internal when unused, he doesn't see the point.

Tyco would only wear pants if you asked, and given the constant shifting size of his waistline he might not have a fitting pair anyway. 4: For breakfast, Tyco uses a gavage to quickly feed himself warm oatmeal. Otherwise it would take all morning to spoon feed himself, and by then it would be lunchtime! 5: Tyco is on the international "No-Buffet List"

6: Despite his thick and wide figure, Tyco is agile and precise with his movements. His immense saurian legs are built to carry his own weight as well as his massive meals. 7: Tyco is known to injest gallons of beverages at a time, but he eats ice cream and other frozen treats with human-like moderation.

He loves them, but he'll get terrible "belly-freezes" if he eats too much cold to quickly! 8: Tyco does not acknowledge personal space.

If he thinks you are interesting, he will stand or sit close enough to you to be touching you. If he likes you, he will have conversations with you in an embrace.

Be polite when you push him away if need be. He'll remember if you ask

9: Tyco can sit or lay down for days or weeks at a time without injury.

He needs to when he overindulges. 10: Tyco's only mode of motorized transport is a large tricycle. It's not sexy or sporty at all, but he is forced to use it due to his anatomy. 11: Tyco cannot breathe fire, or fly. This makes him insecure around 'real' dragons.

He can belch at will though. 12: Tyco is a mild shapeshifter. He can grow and shrink at will if his body has the calories stored to do so.
It might take days, weeks or months to change his shape, however! 13: In cold weather, Tyco still won't wear pants.
He can raise his body temperature up to 110°f (43°c) or higher to fend off the cold! 14: Tyco's tail is a thick column of marbled musclefat. It's soft and squishy, and it's mildly prehensile. It's strong enough to hold you in place, but not agile enough to manipulate objects

15: When bored, Tyco will do stupid things like swallow huge packets of baking soda and chug vinegar. 16: In the company of other anthros he is crushing on, If Tyco is drunk his body will quickly grow or morph anatomical traits considered attractive to that species (e.g. With deer he'll grow antlers)
The more drunk, the more extreme.
He is unaware he does this, it's subconscious

17: Tyco is obsessed with being clean, and prefers his friends to be clean and not smelly as well.

He frequently bathes and takes showers, and enjoys doing so with company

18: Because his body is so malleable due to his body morphing abilities, he has forgotten what he truely looks like.
When you see him in a default shape he is a combination of what he remembers and what he can't change.
Tyco will appear slightly different every time you meet him. 19: If Tyco has swallowed something big and hard to digest (like bones) he will swallow large stones to assist grinding them down. Once finished, he'll spit them out.

If you see a pile of large polished stones at Tyco's house on his kitchen table, that's them. 20: Tyco could change the color of his scales like a chameleon, but he uses his shapeshifter abilies to suppress it.
Why? Because if he didn't, his whole body would change color based on his mood, and he is embarrass by that.
He still can't help his face from blushing red though! 21: Tyco has a huge belly, but most of it is his stomach and internal musculature.
He can maintain a psi of about 100 For an extended period of time, but he can flex it hard briefly up to about 350 psi.

And yes. He can and does shoot water out his mouth. 22: Tyco is very self conscious about his smell. Because he burps large volumes of gas at a time, and frequently, he takes pains not to repulse others.
He will walk out of a room first to belch if he's been holding it in, and will swallow huge sprigs of herbs to smell nice. 23: When outdoors Tyco will hold his tail above the ground.

Indoors, or in situations it would be normal to lay or sit down outside, his tail drags.
It also tends to involuntarily grow and thicken over time the longer it does. You can tell how long he's spent indoors this way. 24: Tyco's jaws can dislocate just like a snake, and he is capable of swallowing prey whole.

Tyco has met some folks who want to be swallowed, so using his shape shifting abilities he developed a way he can alter his stomach to be extremely safe and comfortable. 25: Is Tyco angry? Sad? Rampaging? Doing that thing you don't like?
No worries.
Just give his tummy pats, pets & massages and he will "turn off" and lie down- if he resists, rub harder. You will break his will.
Beware! He gets really snuggly and romantic if you persist too much! 26: Tyco hatched from a tiny egg in someone's back garden. He lived the first few years of his life as a small snake, growing in size and shape until he grew limbs and begun to walk upright.

He has never met his parents, or anyone enough like him to resemble what could be family

27: Giving Tyco a surprise squeeze or hug, or a sudden shove or push to the gut will make Tyco belch involuntarily.

He walks around with a lot of air in his stomach. Compressing it when he isn't expecting it doesn't give him the chance to prepare to hold it in. 28: Sometimes you may see Tyco sporting vestigial wings. They are useless and are mostly cartilaginous.

They tend to appear when Tyco is storing MASSIVE reserves of magic energy in his body, aka eating extremely well for an extended period of time. 29: Tyco has zero issue with people riding him. His legs and hips are so strong it takes a lot of weight for him to be slowed down. He refuses to wear a saddle or any of that kind of stuff.

He wouldn't need it anyhow. His rear is so wide and soft you sit comfortably bareback. 30: Tyco doesn't get very angry ever, but he gets dangerously hungry. If someone would make someone mad, Tyco has instead an equivalently strong hunger-craving for that individual, climaxing with swallowing them if it gets that extreme.
Apologizing, making amends, reverses this. 31: Tyco isn't afraid of many things.

He will walk through the wilderness or dangerous neighborhoods alone. If something is stupid enough to mistake his gentle appearance for weakness and attack him Tyco will eat it. 32: Tyco heals his wounds at an astoundingly rapid rate. Doing so still uses up his "reserves" so if it's a terrible injury he will lose mass.

It's very difficult to kill him as if he gets hurt enough over time he'll be reduced to a small snake and make a slippery escape! 33: Tyco has the ability to morph almost completely into 4 different feral forms:

Snake (constrictor)
Monitor lizard
Theropod
Sauropod

He always seems to be a blend of them, but with focus he can really push it to resemble one mostly! 34: Tyco can cook, but he is not very good at it. He has no issue eating ingredients so he gets impatient and lazy doing things like peeling or chopping.

Common critiques of his cooking:

Chunks are cut too big
Too much meat
This is just a pile of raw onions/potatoes/flour

35: Tyco can "eat" the magic power out of enchanted items or blessed artifacts. If the object itself is undigestible, he will spit it out once it's power has been extracted. 36: Tyco's home is devoid of furniture besides tables. No chairs, sofas, beds, etc. just enormous pillows and cushions. 37: With a lot of concentration, time, and a huge expenditure of his magical reserves, Tyco can transfer some his growing magics into inanimate machines.
He cant make them better, but he can make them 'heal' to be repaired, or can make them bigger, 'beefier' and more sturdy. 38: All these facts are about "Standard Tyco" - the pear dragon you have seen me post pictures of and whenever Tyco comes up in conversation.

However, there are different Tycos that inhabit separate universes that are very different! They are completely separate from each other. 39: Despite being a hedonistic glutton, Tyco is really good at sharing.
Even if he is extremely hungry, he will make sure you have something to eat as well.

It's his goal to feed his friends enough so that he can then continuously stuff himself guilt free

40: Growing up, Tyco was technically an orphan, but didn't view himself as one.
He lived alone outside as a "child" but wasn't bothered by it as he was instinctually self sufficient. He lived in caves, forest preserves, or people's backyards. 41: Even with his powers, Tyco cant get muscly buff at will. He does need to exercise to make "swole" mass.
However, weightlifting and exercise is much more effective. What a human would gain in a month of intense training Tyco can gain in a few days with standard effort. 42: Tyco can be polyamorous or monogamous with relationships, but what's really key is honestly among his friends. 43: The scales on Tyco's body are super pliable and soft, resembling skin more than rough plates. His belly is extremely slippery when wet. 44: In autumn, Tyco swallows all the fallen leaves that he rakes up in his yard, or yours if you pay him to.
He hates the taste but it feels good in his tum. Tyco will use a funnel to get it past his tongue. 45: Tyco says "Oof!" When he is:

Surprised
Embarrassed
Poked
Squeezed
Confused
Aroused
Fallen down
Worried

He says "Oof" a lot

46: Tyco loves video games and board games! It's the perfect pastime while he is digesting an enormous meal that has immobilized him. He enjoys all genres, but he does like to play ones that you can with or against friends best. 47: Tyco never wears shoes. In the winter, his feet can get so hot the ice and snow around his legs will melt into a puddle if he stands still long enough in one place. 48: On his favorite weekends, Tyco will make plans to meet friends for breakfast, brunch, lunch, coffee and cake, supper and dinner all day. Each meal is often with a different friend or group. He will literally spend the whole weekend eating if he has the money and the friends! 49: Tyco is really bad around authority figures. Because of this, he has not had much luck in the workforce. The jobs he does well are the ones where he has lots of autonomy. 50: Tyco gives kisses with his lips and snoot smooshes. His tongue is long and forked, so its not very good for slurping and licking. 51: No matter how slim or fit Tyco gets, he won't develop abs. His core muscles aren't like human muscles, they are like a snake's. He'll be smooth and firm, no 6 packs.

Simply put, Tyco is a snake with dino legs and human arms. 52: Tyco can eat typically inedible organic materials such as cardboard, paper, wood, etc. However he gets little satisfaction from it, and too much can give him a stomach ache. Also it takes forever to digest. 53: It's extremely difficult for Tyco to die of starvation. As he suffers from hunger, he uses up his magic reserves first, then starts to shrink in size. He reverts back into his small snake form (weksnek) and then into an egg. 54: If you are suspicious that Tyco is unhappy or sad, offer him something to eat. The harder it is to get him to eat something the more upset he is! 55: Tyco doesn't like loud places. He is easily irritated by small noises! He prefers quiet and peaceful places

56: Tyco doesn't roar. He can hiss and rumble, but the loudest he can get is either shouting or a horrible, deep and booming honk. 57: Tyco is naturally kind and rational. However, his enormous stomach seems to be able to exert its own will upon him, and has no moral compass. All it wants is digestibles to be put inside it.
You can make Tyco do anything if you convince his belly first. 58: You can hear when Tyco's stomach is overriding/changing Tyco's mind. It's an audible stomach gurgle that he seems to be unaware of.
He can keep fighting it, practically arguing with himself, and his tum will burble and burble.
The louder it gets the harder it's trying. 59: When he spoke to some medieval scholars to investigate his mysterious past, evidence pointed to a great, fat and terrible dragon as a potential ancestor.
Tyco then started to have vivid dreams of knights, princesses and the taste of mutton.
He thinks he knows why

60: The body parts that seem to have the most flexibility for Tyco to change are his jaw/teeth and his legs/feet.
The reason for the prioritization seems to be tied to his dietary habits. 61: The plates on Tyco's underside are smooth and very very stretchy.
He can easily push/be pushed across the ground when he is laying on his belly. 62: Tyco rests on his backside unless his tummy is too full to lay backwards. He is a still sleeper who does not roll over in his sleep.
He enjoys smaller friends laying on top of him as he slumbers! 63: Despite being parentless and for the most part (legally) homeless, as a youngster Tyco went to public school. 64: If you know where to press, you can pinch the back of Tyco's head by the top of his neck to have him involuntarily open his mouth and begin swallowing, if you then put something in there.
He may try and resist, but as long as you maintain your grip he can't close his mouth! 65: "Pasta" is Tyco's favorite cooked food.
Mac'n'Cheese, spaghetti, lasagna, ravioli, spaetzle, etc, you name it! Its so soft to chew and he loves slurping all the different sauces! 66: Tyco processes alcohol, caffeine, medicines, etc very well, like as if his liver is a narrow funnel.

For example, if he drinks barrels of wine in one sitting (and he has) he will be drunk for days before a mild hangover begins. 67: Tyco's growth or transformations are extremely slow, almost imperceptible, like watching a sundial's shadow move. 68: Tyco is an excellent swimmer, as his streamlined anatomy is hydrodynamic. He swims just like lizards do.
He also has extreme buoyancy and control over it. 69: If Tyco spends a lot of time hanging around people he likes, he may subconsciously pick up a few physical traits that make him resemble those friends. 70: Tyco goes on cross-country road trips with his big motorized trike.

It often takes him twice as long to get places because he stops frequently at drive-ins, drive thrus and diners! 71: Tyco can sleep for days at a time! He often does after especially big meals!

Believe it or not, he actually doesn't like doing it often because he ends up missing out on a lot of fun activities with friends. 72: Tyco's spine is very flexible, especially his neck! He can twist and bend it about like a snake, and turn almost 360 degrees around like an owl!

He tends to keep it stiff and erect though, because he's noticed it makes people uncomfortable when he does neck tricks. 73: Tyco will put on weight in preparation for social gatherings with those he knows like their dragons thick (with strategic fat placement as well if he knows specific tastes).

He will slim down if he will hang out with those who don't like fatties.

Tyco can be a huge flirt. 74: If Tyco has not eaten for a while, and is re-introduced to eating with some particularly tasty food, he may enter a feeding frenzy/daze.
He doesn't become manic or ravenous, but he'll lose track and eat until its too inconvenient to continue, or someone snaps him out of it

75: Tyco's (dragony/shifter) magic is slowly ebbing away in time, as its powers seem to be loosely tied to the presence of magic in the world.
As more scientific knowledge is gained, magic weakens.

Example: Tyco's wings are vestigial or usually missing. He can't fly anymore. 76: You can always tell if something is irritating Tyco if he starts involuntarily belching.
It will interrupt his speech, mid-sentence, or be used as punctuation at the end of tirades.
The bigger the belches, the more agitated he is. 77: In the event of cerebral trauma or intense emotional stress, it's common for Tyco to split his neck into multiple heads (involuntarily).

The new heads personify a portion of Tyco's psyche, and the more heads Tyco sprouts the more specialized they are. 78: Tyco is bad at catching sarcasm. He will often take what was said with the most benevolent interpretation.

This often results in annoying the sardonic person further. 79: Like how some animals see a wider spectrum of light, Tyco tastes a wider spectrum of flavors.

Things we sense in tactile ways have a specific flavor to him, like hot & cold, fuzzy & smooth...

still vs moving...

fear...

...Oof. This topic makes him uncomfortable sometimes. 80: Because of his soft-spokeness and unreserved displays of affection, people often think Tyco is weak, pacifistic or cowardly.

He is not. 81: Tyco is quite tough, despite appearances. His rubbery skin tends to absorb blows and is resistant to cuts.

He also is quite flame-resistant!

Tyco is not invincible so please don't be too rough with him! 82: Tyco thinks he is smarter than he really is (residual draconic arrogance) but he is of average cleverness.

He is almost guaranteed to fall for a trap if it involves free food. 83: Just because Tyco can swallow meals whole, doesn't mean he does so every time.

He will savor an expensive meal he has bought or a friend has provided.

If you give him a shipping crate filled with 'just past' expired boiled hams he'd know it's ok to not bother chewing. 84: Tyco's home (when he has one) frequently has a guest or two for an extended period of time, 90% of the time they are smaller than the derg.

The arrangement is different guest to guest, but Tyco reserves the right to boot ungrateful guests out on a whim. 85: It's better to think of Tyco as bio-malleable rather than a true shapeshifter.

For example, If you inject him with muscle building steroids he will puff out rapidly outside of his control.
Artificial hormones also have hastened effect.

He can reverse the results in time. 86: Even though he loves comfy sweaters and t-shirts, Tyco has to buy button-down, zipper or Velcro tops whenever he can.

He has ripped so much of his clothes not from an expanding belly, but from the massive throat bulges when he swallows! 87: By snapping his fingernails, Tyco can create a large spark. 88: Since Tyco has incredibly powerful and precise internal stomach musculature, he can compress the air he holds in his belly into a spring. Add his incredibly strong leg muscles, and he can opt to belly-bump people so hard they go flying. 89: Tyco's ears don't fit headphones well, so he avoids using them.

When he wants to listen to loud music he places the speakers on top of his belly, facing his body to have the music reverberate directly into him.

He says he can hear it just fine, and it hurts his ears less. 90: The internal stomach musculature of Tyco can create a vacuum with the lifting power of about 300lbs when empty.

So without swallowing or gulping, he can suck down food that weighs less than that disconcertingly swift. 91: It takes a lot of exposure to surnburn Tyco compared to regular folk. However, he still wears shielding hats and sunglasses to protect his eyes. 92: Tyco avoids making promises as he is aware he is a fat dragon, and fat dragons are naturally self-serving to the point where they tend to just do what they want and obligations are painful.

However, he respects his friends and when he makes a promise he keeps it. 93: Despite what he claims, Tyco is a full-blooded dragon and even though he says otherwise, he needs tribute like any dragon would from an arriving guest.

Thankfully Tyco is poor, fat and shameless, so a pound of butter with some sugar sprinkled on top will usually suffice. 94: Since anger is swapped for hunger with Tyco, it's not uncommon for him to eat inedible objects that really frustrate him.

For example, he has tried eating his trike multiple times after it breaks down and he can't fix it.
He'll stop nomming halfway after he "calms down"

95: Tyco can stay in water indefinitely, but still needs to breathe air.

It's not too difficult for him to adjust his anatomy over time to be a better aquatic denizen, but he prefers cooked food over raw, and that stuff is found on land. 96: If Tyco is startled or interrupted mid-thought while flicking his tongue, it stays stuck out until he remembers to pull it back in. 97: Tyco maintains eye contact continuously during conversation. Sometimes he will sit next to a friend and just stare into their eyes.

Some people joke that he's hypnotizing people but really it's just an intoxicating experience most people aren't used to. 98: When Tyco is sad, drepressed and/or lonely, he reverts to a serpent-like shape over time. 99: If Tyco is having trouble sleeping, eating helps. But food is expensive, and he is mostly for the sensation of feeling full.

It is common for him to get out of bed if he can't sleep to go to the shower and drink a hundred gallons of water before returning to bed. 100: People who know Tyco say being friends with him is like a hot tub:

Enticing from afar, but if you start walking in the heat is intense, and you have to ease yourself

Sometimes its just too hot, and you have to get out

or you get used to it and have trouble leaving

101: Tyco's shape shifting is very 'natural' - no eldritch abominations and whatnot.

However, Tyco can make bizarre changes to his body that don't appear in nature if he studies anatomies, practices and focuses hard. When you mix science with his magic weird things can happen! 102: Even though he has a hearty constitution, Tyco can still get sick.

However it seems like whatever makes a dragon sick is not contagious to humans, and vice versa. 103: No one was around when Tyco hatched from his egg, so nobody knows when his birthday is.

He thinks it's in the spring sometime. 104: Tyco is always trying to get people to sleep with him.

No, I'm not using a euphemism. He wants to doze off with friends laying on/near him.

If people are stressed and tired he will try and get them to relax and take a nap with him. 105: If he opens his mouth, keeps his neck straight and does an esophageal flex, you can peer straight down into Tyco's stomach. 106: While in fits of "anger" (see TycoFact #30) he will swallow whole people who are annoying him or making him "angry" very suddenly.

This satiates his "anger-hunger" and he regains his clarity of thought.
He then spits the people out, sometimes apologizing. 107: You can tell how well Tyco is doing in life by the shape and size of his body.

If he is short (4'-5') and thin, he is stressed and poor.

If he is a big, but has short or no limbs he is depressed.

If he is larger than 8' he is doing well! Psychologically and financially!

Hello folks. You guys are awesome.

So it ended up taking me a month or so more time than expected to get my commissions done when I sent out the call in April. I had expected to be done mid to late June. Why? Two family members died in that period, and then a few weeks of other, happier big family events got rolled in as things got pushed down the line. Thank you so much for your patience, you are the best, all of you.

What now?

Well, work is work, and its still slowing me down - not that I was fast to begin with. I just am a slowpoke and I wanted to admit I am aware of it.
I also want to get deeper into 3D work on personal projects, but I'm going to focus on a project I promised to help on a bajillion years ago first.

Will I be closed to commissions? Kind of yes, but not really. I'll take commissions that I want to take, aka if it turns me on or if its a long overdue one for a friend (both is possible as well). I'll be slow, I'll still stream and stuff. If we are buds and you want a commish, don't be shy!

I'll see you folks around!

-Tyco

Hello! It's time for me to open the doors again to drawing your stuff!

This time there is a bit of a twist! I can get burnt out doing the same thing over and over again, so I am going to open 4 slots based on a theme each.
If you want a picture based on that Theme, then comment below like you are bidding with what you want! (ex: Line art, two characters - $63)
Look here for my prices: http://www.furaffinity.net/commissi...../tyrannozilla/

If you are tied with someone for the same price, add a tip of +$5 like you are bidding. They can then reply with a tip to out-tip you! If the tip is too much but you still want the slot, feel free to upgrade your commission! (Line art -> Cel Shading/color, etc) just as long as you outbid the person before you!

OK! Here are the Theme Slots:

1: Muscle  twitch_the_dragon DONE! YAY!
2: Hyper  Borusa-Ryalam DONE! YAY!
3: Snuggles/hugging/etc  Tombfyre DONE! YAY!
3: Vore  Borusa-Ryalam DONE! YAY!

Winners will be declared on a rolling basis. BUT ONCE I ASK FOR AND GET YOUR MONEY IT'S LOCKED, YOU WIN
I reserve the right to refuse your commission if its something against the spirit of the theme.

All locked in! thank you guys for the interest! I'm workin on them right now!

Any questions? Ask below so all can see!

Sorry fellas, but I really disappointed myself this year by not moving out in time to make it to Midwest FurFest.

Its been a source of angst that I could go, if I really tried, but it would end out making things really risky and could truly blow up in my face. There was some of you I was hoping to run into, meet, draw with, etc. But I will not be able to treat myself to your company.

There is one small chance I could catch dinner with some folks friday, but that's it. Its still iffy, so I didn't want to bother people's real plans that they have most likely been forming much longer than me.

Have a great time!

My life has gotten heckin' busy


My real job, and my passion job pretty much take up all my time right now, but looking down the horizon I might be available for some more fun, like streams and commissions and whatnot.

Also, one of the dudes who robbed me is in jail. Nice.

Whats up with you guys?

First off, it's good news mostly.

Some dude clearing brush found my backpack, stylus and ipad/keyboard. Through the police we were able to do a hand off (it was found in a dangerous neighborhood). He practically ran off after giving it back, but he helped me and the police locate where it was found.
If it weren't for that, I would not have an ipad anymore, as insurance would not really cover its replacement. No phone found though.
Thankfully, due to a quirk of my cellular provider, my old phone was able to be activated. So I have my old, buggy, 4 year old phone. Better than nothing.

Not so good stuff:

My wallet and keys were not found as well, and the keys part makes me feel extremely vulnerable. They can come at any point and steal my car if they could figure out where I lived, as my landlord is dragging his feet getting anything but the deadbolts changed.

I feel mildly ill most of the time, emotionally. Like I am in mourning. Not because I miss my stuff, but because I miss my safety and old routine. It's like my neighborhood betrayed me deeply, or died. I glance around everywhere in fear, because they could come again from anywhere ~ they were never caught. until I move again, I am sure I will never feel safe.
I feel so incredibly helpless. I want to run because I cannot fight.

Anyhoo, stay safe.

I dont usually write journals anymore, but I just need to say something that makes me feel so sad.

So on my way to work today, I was assaulted and mugged at gunpoint. They took all my belongings off of me, including my phone, ipad and stylus, things that I really cherished partially because it was the ticket to interact with you guys. I know I would have never met so many of you if I had not taken a risk, gotten that ipad and stylus years ago, I would not be where I am today with you guys, and possibly irl. I had many excellent drawings in the works on it and I am very upset that you will never see them nor I complete them on top of my massive material losses.
I don't know when I will get replacements for those items, so if I go dark for a few days, that's why.

Stay safe everyone.

Heya folks, its me Tyco.


Some of you may already know this, but I figured I would post it here so those who don't visit my page or streams often know what's up.

So I finally got a full time job. HOORAY!!!! This is such a goddamn big deal it doesn't feel real. I have been freelancing professionally on and off for the past two years trying to make a constant buck (and not doing so well) so now I can finally get on with being an upstanding citizen and all that crap.

The Job is full time, salaried, etc. it's not a brag, it's letting you know what I will be doing from now until I have no idea when. My days as a stay at home artist are numbered (or done, depending how much later you are reading this journal), and therefore my commissions slots are as of now indefinitely closed. If we are friends and we have talked about commissioning work from me, don't worry about it I'm still good for it. Just I will be much more picky in the future as my time will be that much more precious.
Also, obviously, my uploading will slow to a standstill. It was slow enough already but now it will be even slower. It would cause me physical pain to not draw any smut at all, so most likely I will be posting more doodles than finished work.

You guys have been a tremendous support, and I wish I could hug all of you. You've helped me out in tough times and been really understanding of my 'needs,' not to mention hilarious and fun to talk to. While I will be too busy to be as available online, I do hope to stay in contact with you guys as I can manage. Who knows, I may need you guys more than ever as I cope with full time work!

Many shmooshes and boops,

Tyco

So, as some of you may know yesterday was my first furry meetup. I went to DragonCon a few years back, so I knew what a Con was like but as you know it's different. I just figured I'd share my thoughts as they are fresh in my mind when I experienced my one day of MFF 2016:

First off, I want to say going to this con explains a lot that has been unexplained to me as I have lurked on the internet - hiding in my dark lair away from the world at large. How people get charged up, super excitable, why certain 'sonas are more popular than others, and why some people behave the way they do in the fandom. I felt a lot better, and that I understood much more just witnessing furries in their native habitat amongst furriends.

I was tweeting a lot at first, so if any of you follow me on twitter some of this will be repeat information.

So when I said I was going to go, I bought a snakeskin balaclava and a green domino mask to wear as I shuffled about so no one would recognize me. I tried it on, and I looked like I was up to no good, despite my scalie themed clothing. As I exited the parking lot I ripped off the mask and scarf because I saw no one else doing anything to obscure their faces (suiters being the obvious exception) like I was, and while I was doing it to protect myself, I could tell immediately it would be taken as a hostile outfit not so much by security but by other con members. Its not something you think about, but if someone is hiding their identity from you in person it's really off putting even if you are having a pleasant conversation. I felt bad enough using my artist pseudonym, but everyone else was too so it made it feel alright.
Also it helped that I found no one I knew from my professional life there.

Unfortunately I missed opening ceremony, and that was a bummer. I got out late, and have issues figuring out where I was supposed to park.

Another huge mistake was not having an illustrated badge. That was so stupid. I learned really fast that those badges were how people recognized folks from afar, and it was rare for con vets to even give enough of a shit to look at my tiny printed out con pass. And I doubt those who did see my ID who knew of my online presence even made the connection. There are lots of folks with the name that starts with "Tyr" and ends with "zilla" ~ especially in the crowd I hang with. I made only one connection with someone without a badge, and that was because we were in communication before the con about meeting up. And watching him interact with folks was fascinating. People would be cordial and polite, looking at his name ID and whatever, but then someone would be like "Um, thats Cantstopgrowing" and BAM, hugs.

Anyway, for the first three hours I just kinda wandered around by myself as suiters interacted with each other, and merriment was abound. It was a very familiar and old experience for me that I had not felt for a long time. In my early days of the fandom (8 years ago) I thought SecondLife was the place to meet people, so in a virtual space I would do the very same thing I was doing at the Con. Wandering about the outskirts of the community with the starter outfit, a nobody who is too shy to get in there and talk to people. Eventually I got bored and became a wallflower and started drawing. It was the only thing I knew what to do with myself.

I got to go to artists' alley and the den, and that was neat. I recognized  royalty as I was wandering about but I was too shy to butt into the convo she was having with another artist. That was dumb because I should have asked her to make an emergency badge for me.
I had a nice little chat with  Rhos at her booth. Really jealous of her painting skills!

After the artist stuff, I got in contact with  cantstopgrowing (Acheroth) and we met at the McDonald's up the road. It was great getting to talk to someone who is a professional animator like me about stuff, even if most of my work nowadays isn't character driven anymore (professionally). So yeah, Acheroth has the privilege of being the first person that I've face-to-face met under my Tyco/Tyrannozilla pseudonym.
After we walked back to the hotel he introduced me to some awesome macro dudes:
 jamesfoxes  aro~so  Dcuk  Reazu  saebo  Tyrnn  ridleydupree  Corvidius

We chatted a bunch in their room, talked animation and macros and it was great. I was jealous of Tyrnn drawing in the corner of the room, because I feel more comfortable drawing than talking to strangers, haha.
It felt weird being in a room full of diehard macros. I started out as a macro junkie to express myself back in 2008-9, but since then I've waned in size, so to speak. It's all too appropriate I guess as I start to rev up interest in Tyrannozilla (because I feel the the need express myself in that same way again) that I hang with these folks. Also a lot their 'sonas are bright laser green, just like Tyrannozilla. Felt eerily appropriate.

We went to Hoffenbrau for dinner, and we had a great time drinking booze, eating cozy german food and riffing on the music.

Afterwards, we chilled a bit more at the room, and went to the Macro Meetup.
I met lots of folks, including  Kurrikage
I met/hugged  Duncan and  Macroceli but I didn't say much other than "hi!" i don't know how to talk to suitesrs who pantomime, haha.
I then got to meet  odendo and  Palace and Odendo and I swapped sketchbooks to draw each others characters. I would have missed Odendo if I wasn't looking at Palace's huge red costume, and seeing Odendo's huge illustrated badge on the hug standing behind him.

So after wandering a bit, I saw the dance (DID NOT DANCE), and went back up to the room to hang with the gang for a bit while they got their pictures taken. The clock hit 11:08, and it was time for me to go. I said my goodbyes and drove home. I owe a big one to Acheroth for introducing me to the group of awesome guys and making my trip really worth it.

My biggest complaint is that there was not enough scaleykind suiters, and barely enough birbs.
Also, no peardragon suits. Must be hard to do.

So that was my first Furry Convention. I felt like it went fairly well, better then I could ask for. I made some mistakes obviously - one of which was only going for one day, haha. But alas I did not have a choice. I really hope next year I can go for more than one day, have a great badge, and always have a group to hang with. Then I can talk more, draw more, and just do a better job being Tyco / Tyrannozilla
If I met you and I do not follow you on twitter, its because I could not find you there and let me know and I'll fix that.

Congrats for reading it all if you did. I felt the need to publicly document it.

Well, I guess I should do this. I want be a lurker IRL at this con, but I would be happy to meet folks if we recognise each other!

Hey folks,

I am going to open a short waitlist with 5 slots. If that fills up that's great and I will be really happy!

My commission prices are here: http://www.furaffinity.net/commissi...../tyrannozilla/

Here are the slots as if now:

1:  slothpuck (Done)
2:  slothpuck (Done)
3:  Mekal (Done)
4:  Jakeforever18 (Done)
5:  Bryantheoshawott (Unresponsive)
6:  zurg101 (Done)

Back in December 2015, I made a call for commissions to create a 10-person waitlist. I needed money for X-mas and a trip I was going to in january.

Now, September 2016 I finally got the 10 people list done, not including the odd stream commission here and there. I am proud of myself as much as I am thankful to you guys for your support and for your patience. It's been a rocky road for me and you guys let me learn my lessons, take my time and it's been wonderful. Thanks so much!
All I have to do now is finish the last two fellas on my list (added a month or so ago, they don't quite count as part of the original 10)!

This was the longest, most ambitious waitlist I have ever done. We shall see if I do the likes of it again anytime soon. I am getting more professional work this fall, and the massive time commitment of real work puts a huge crimp on fandom time.


Cheers guys, and its great having you all join me when I stream!

So I am pretty angry at myself, as I made a huge ass of myself and overshared (thankfully just on the internet). Somebody called out on my stupidity while being unnecessarily rude, and I am having trouble as is processing the whole ordeal because its been something that's been bothering me and its been on my mind a whole lot. I live in a digital island, so to speak, so I don't have many people to talk about certain things. This post may be digging myself deeper in a hole, I dunno, but it feels better as I type this.

So I would like your thoughts, if you could spare them for a second.

What qualifies as oversharing here on FA, or in the community in general? There is a huge range from what I can see, and I thought being straightforward and honest to the extent I have (by my posts, comments, streams) was a way to try and not be aloof. Everyone has their own kinks and stuff and in a public forum like this one I would think that not acting "holier-than-thou" and admitting your own weaknesses would be considered a friendly gesture of honesty. - Granted, I'm not talking about shitposting fetishstuffs in areas that aren't asking for them, but where its pre-established as the place to do such a thing. Hard to judge perhaps? Or just me?
Dear gosh, if I have crossed the line someone please note me and be honest.
If you don't know me so well, then you could let me know if there was an occasion for you somewhere sometime where it went from OK to NOPE. I would be interested in the perspective.
Heck, if you've been in a similar boat as me, misery loves company, let me know I'm not alone in being blindsided.

I would like to be a friendly sort, as cynical as I can be at times, but I also have a hard time processing unwarranted toxic vitriol on the internet. Its alien to me. Why would anyone bother to write hateful things (being in no position to comment themselves) just to make someone feel like shit? I personally can judge in silence, thank you very much. Wouldn't be nicer to take a second, and think of a more polite way of telling someone to take it down a notch? Like in a private note/whisper: "Hey so-and-so, that's a bit much. I get where you are coming from but that's inappropriate/too self-serving/rude for what we're doing here."
On the internet, very little is at stake. You don't need to attack someone because they made a fool of themselves, ignore them and move on. Kinda like how I hate watching those 'cringe' videos. Those poor people made a mistake, let them live it down, don't enshrine a moment in foolishness forever, geez. (thank you, thank you, thank you god, that youtube blew up after I left high school)

Well, so it goes. It figures that I like dragons and dinos of sorts because they aren't bothered by this kind of petty crap.
Thanks for reading

Whoo its been a while since I have posted stuff here, but my life has been crazy! (yet, dull)

I've been getting freelance work on and off, getting very sick, traveling to/with family, and etc. My old habits are working against me and have prevented me from making any good progress on my wait-list.

Thanks to the gods that when I took the wait list I did not do a 'pay me now, get picture later' policy on my wait list, and I have only taken money for the image I am currently working on. - And that one is taking me a long time because I am trying something new and I am constantly getting interrupted by life.

However, I still feel guilty about those who are on my waitlist and have been waiting for a very long time for me to get to them. If any of you have changed your minds, feel free to note me that you have moved on and no longer require my services. If not, fine! I'll keep chugging along. I don't want to be one of 'those' artists who hold commissioners hostage or gives false promises. I want to keep things chill, and be a pal!

I have developed some piss-poor life habits that need to change, and when I get a handle of myself I hope to draw much more consistently.

Speaking of drawing, my twitter is @Tyranozilla, and I want to try hosting drawpile or opencanvas every once in a while... so follow me and you'll get alerts there for when I do it. You can watch or participate... I don't mind!
