Hi there.

I've been busy for a month! Again!! At least I was able to put out a few renders, and hopefully a few of you at least were able to enjoy them with delight!

After a few weeks of craziness, I've finally finished moving into a new home, and after that day came and went, I spent those few weeks mostly procrastinating to avoid having to unpack, rebuild furniture, and clean. Spent a lot of time on FarCry 5 and FarCry Primal, and lemme tell ya', my inspiration for hunky cavemen underwent a big resurgence after playing FarCry Primal—just, damned that there's no romantic relationship with the hunky brutish Neanderthal you can recruit to your village...

Anywho, enough of that; I want to enjoy some big, burly, musclebound orcs and brutes and monsters and aliens, so I'm gonna jump back into the rendering stuff again. Expect a bunch of varied stuff to be posted. As we edge into the holidays, I hope you all stay safe, stay warm or cool (as appropriate to your person), and do keep loving each other and being good. Remember, naughty or nice, you better think twice, and...hmm, well, I dunno, maybe I'm getting into spoiler territory now...!

As ever, thank you all so much for the likes, favorites, comments, watches, etcetera. You people are great, and it brings me so much joy and pleasure to know folks are out there enjoying the art stuff I throw together. I hope to continue my contributions and keep making people smile. Never be afraid to leave your thoughts and opinions, positive, negative, whatever—I do this for you, and want to know what you think. Your thoughts have value!

Hullo!! Hope you all are having a great start to November—and if things are a bit rough for you right now, I hope things are going as well as they possibly could, and that they get better from here on out! You can do it, get through it, and move on (as easy as that is to type, I know...)!

So, what's been going on? We've had October come and go, apparently! Two months since my last Journal, and not too much has changed on my end: I did a three-week long Halloween costume project that turned into a Cosplay-level thing, and I'm hopefully going to be doing some photoshoots in the woods here next weekend, so I'll be uploading some more real-life orc stuff, wooo! But what's this with the random Rhino, and no update on MAWrestling, or the Ganzorig comic?! Well, have I got some generic placation for you!

Jungle Jam: It's coming soon! I hope to get a start on the next series of panels this week, but it all depends on how busy things go at work. My personal time is becoming more and more my own I'm afraid, as I get more and more involved in various events and stuff that are going on around me (or that I can put together), so the only time I have to work on the renders is down-time at work, and on the weekends. The script for Jungle Jam has been finished for quite a while, it's just time consuming making the renders, alas.

MAWrestling: It's coming along, but still in its early stages. I know that's disappointing to hear, and I know folks are expecting renders—I'm going to do some renders, but they're just going to be random stills, and not actual comics or anything. As I put together the characters, script and story, I made a big decision to evolve the project to a new level, which means I have to start writing a lot more than I originally thought I would. I've finished a Flowchart, so I know exactly how it's all going to work, but I still need to do all the writing and a little bit of learning elsewhere.

TL;DR: Going to do a Halloween Orc Photoshoot this weekend. Working on Jungle Jam on breaks during the workday. MAWrestling isn't a comic anymore, it's something bigger now; I'll be releasing random wrestling renders of all the characters going at it just to give everyone some pleasure even though the main project is still in the works.

Thanks all of you for your patience, I hope you've been enjoying the art I've been sharing lately, I'm still working on new styles and such; hopefully you all noticed the noise/dithering/sharpness of the Rhino Wallpaper I recently did. Do you like it? Do you prefer the smoother/glow look of most of my other stuff? Would you prefer more photo-realistic stuff? More stylized/comic looks? Share your thoughts however you want to! My Profile Page's Shouts area, the Comment's section, and the Notes system are entirely places for you to share your thoughts, offer your opinions; whatever you want! I want to hear from you! I can't guarantee my answers will always be perfect, but for those of you who take the time to post, thank you so very much.

With that said, I need to take some time and go through all the Comments I've gotten over the past two months. I've read every single one of them, and am delighted and inspired by all the positivity; thanks to all of you for your input!

Have a good November, have a fabulous autumn, and enjoy whatever pumpkin-spice flavored things you can without getting utterly sick of it!!

Hiya.

So I moved to a different aspect of my job a while back, said I'd be busy and all that, and I was! Then I said things should get back on track, and they did!

But now I'm working a slightly different aspect of that aspect, and it has me basically reformatting everything the job entails. I am now in charge of a complete overhaul of all the practices, policies and procedures; I was basically given a job that I now need to make a job out of, but a job that's more functional, more organized and more efficient. It's a fairly big undertaking, but one I'm fully capable of handling.

What I'm not capable of handling, is 35 hours of work, within a 24 hour day, which is why I'm behind on all kinds of things. I want to push out the Jungle Jam stuff, I want to do the MAWrestling stuff, and I especially want to get to replying to all your comments that you've left on my uploads and Twitter and stuff like that; but right now I've only got an hour or two here or there throughout the week, and it just ain't enough to do everything I want.

I can't guarantee that I'll have the free time to push out all the stuff I know everyone's waiting to see, but I'm going to try to focus my efforts to deliver the kind of stuff that folks want to see, without the huge baggage of huge projects that I just can't commit time to. So for the next few weeks, look forward to wrestling renders, maybe some slice-of-life stuff, but all of which should focus on the brawn-bumping, muscle-rubbing, bara-loving details of hulking hunks hanging out together.


Love yooooooou.


*Also, join me on VRChat some time! Yes, YOU! Hop on and check it out! You don't need VR to play, and it's basically an opportunity to enter private or small social areas where everyone is free to just be themselves, whatever that is! I find after a long day working and such, it's the quickest and easiest way for me to de-stress a bit, and I've been doing that in place of my usual video gaming relaxation methods!

My name is "Beastman" on there, so get it for free on Steam, check my Twitter for updates when I hop on, and socialize a bit! Let's talk! Share interests! Stories! Watch Bruce the hunky muscular troll dance and flex for you! Go to pool parties, or shooting ranges, or clubs, or quiet campfires in the woods; archery, virtual theaters with youtube access, or solitary cabins under a moonlit sky! Come hang out with me! I want to get to know you and other folks!

Again!

Hullo folks, and once more I'm here to type up a brief outline of how things are going and what to expect. Every day I find new optimizations and ways of doing things, but this time I've got something to show for it! Shared on my Twitter feed was a preview for the Ganzorig comic series "Jungle Jam", and I'm happy to say I'm 8 pages in now! Once I reach 10 pages, I'll start releasing them here; I want to make sure I have enough content already made so that I don't just keep everyone on the edge of their seat for something I might not have the time to finish right away (and I've already done that with MAWrestling after all, hurrr).

I was pretty busy in July, as I anticipated, and the last week in particular was busy and exhausting, but I survived and continue forward! I'll be heading out of town in a few days, and I may be busy every now and then, but I'll have some backup renders and parts of the comic to release by then, so I should still be uploading. I'm considering less slice of life in favor of some more appealing muscle and wrestling renders finally, now that I've gotten optimization sorted out a fair bit, and I reckon everyone (including me!) will be happy to see that change for a while.

Of another important note: I have officially hit over 1,000 Watchers! Wowie!! That's a pretty incredible feat, and it's awesome to know so many folks here are looking forward to the content I create. Sorry for the delays, and I'll do my best to catch up and throw the burly muscular beasts into my Gallery that you deserve to enjoy witnessing! No idea if I'll do anything special for it, but we'll see! Otherwise, I hope you and everyone else is doing well this summer! Be safe, have fun, and don't stop working hard towards your goals! As always, thank you to all who have been Commenting, Favoriting, and Watching, and if you have any questions at all feel free to drop a message anywhere, and I'll respond as best I can (and hopefully as timely as I can!)

Cheers!

Hokay, so here’s the info on what this whole MAWrestling this is about:

• It’s going to be a comic

• It will feature cinematic-style panels at 1080p resolution per panel, meaning a full page is going to be around 3,300 pixels in height

• Because of this ambition, each render takes significantly more time, both for rendering and post-process editing/fixing, which is why it’s been so much more time consuming than the smaller renders I’ve been posting lately

• Story/Dialogue pages will be in three-panel cinematic widescreen / Wrestling pages will feature more traditional comic page splits, with certain scenes being cinematic widescreen or full page (meaning potential poster sized 1920x6600renders)

• I’ve been optimizing fur (which takes the longest time to render) in order to make each render faster, but the time-to-quality ratio is something I’ve been struggling with

• This is very likely going to be the project that I open a Patreon for (full resolution there, half resolution here, smallest minimum donation is all that will be required for full resolution comic pages and the separate, wallpaper-sized, dialogue-free panels)

With all that typed, I hope I haven’t disappointed anyone too much; I want to see some musclebound anthropomorphs wrestling just as much as anyone! But I also have a personal ambition to deliver the absolute best quality product I’m capable of, as I made the transition from “renders as a hobby” to “renders as a business”. At this point, I’ve been doing them long enough to feel confident that I can pull it off, but with everything going on in my busy personal, professional and military life, and with there only being 24 hours in a day, there’s only so much I can do. HOWEVER, here’s what I CAN do:

SERIES: Jungle Jam

• Ganzorig, the space-traveling freelancer, finds himself captured on a jungle planet, where slave trade and arena fights are held for advertisement and entertainment. He encounters an ape-like prisoner, and the two conspire to escape, eventually being aided by an blue-skinned, undercover galactic investigator

• This series be done in the same format as the MAWrestling project, but at half-resolution; a trial run of the new comic format, essentially

• Will be posted in full to FurAffinity and DeviantArt

Hopefully that’ll be enough to tide folks (including me!) over. Remember that each render I do is experimentation just as much as it is entertainment, so as I improve my technique with this Ganzorig series, hopefully I’ll be prepared to build a cohesive and consistent MAWrestling series!

So I'm alive yaaaaay, and after a stream of random uploads over the past three days, I hope my progress in improving my render stuff is apparent. Obviously I'm aiming for the cinematic, film-like feel with a lot of these renders, but I'm going to try to keep a balance between renders done to make an artistic point, and renders done just to show off huge hunky musclebound beasts and the like...actually, let me correct that: I'm going to try to keep a balance between artsy huge hunky musclebound beast renders, and shamelessly huge hunky musclebound beast renders (also keeping balance because the cinematic renders take hours upon hours, but the generic shameless muscle renders I can do in 45 minutes and they get twice as many favorites hmmmm)

Anyway, there was an incredibly tragic event that occurred here recently, and it hit me pretty damn hard. I'm getting over the loss and consequences fairly well, but it might be a bit until I get to my usual cheerful self. The past three days have been me finally finding the inspiration to jump back into render art stuff and upload things I've been working on, but I'm fairly behind in responding to comments, working on MAWrestling stuff, and replying to notes and such. To folks who have been contacting me, sorry for the delay, I'll get to you soonish; got some things I want to do and enjoy this weekend, but I'll definitely spend some time getting back to you all.

Other than that, I hope everyone's been doing good, enjoying a hopefully cool summer (while we still have them; invest in STEM education folks, it'll save the world), and thanks to all of you for favoriting/watching/commenting/critiquing/questioning/noting/and being generally decent folks. You as a person are part of the community, and without you, the community wouldn't be the same. So keep being good to one another and do your best to be happy and enjoy life.

Hiya!

I wasn't lying when I updated my journal two months ago: I've been busy! But I'm back home now, getting back into the swing of things work-related, but somewhat stumbling in dealing with personal projects. I'm working on the fantasy project a lot right now, mostly because I'm basically writing an appendices on my own Fantasy Universe, and I can do some of that during my down-time during the day. At night and weekends, when I'm at home, is when I can work on render stuff, and having focused on the fantasy stuff during the day, that's all that's in my head once I'm off work.

My thought right now is once I hit burn-out, I'll be able to jump into the MAWrestling stuff; but lately I've been so inundated with other things aside from my art projects that I just haven't found much creative inspiration. Alas, my artistic talents rely entirely upon my inspiration, which comes and goes due to all sorts of factors, so I apologize for not coming up with all the exciting wrestling stuff I've been promising. Once I get my bearings however, I'm gonna go full force into the wrestling scene, I swear.

So for now, I just wanted to take a moment to point out where I'm at schedule-wise, and give a customary but sincerely meant thanks to everyone for stopping by and enjoying the stuff I've got to offer. Cheers!

So, taking some advice, this journal update is gonna be pretty short.

I've traveled for Work, and am currently in a swamp until mid-May or so, and I'm still getting used to my new schedule. Because of that, it's gonna be a few days before I can jump back into the render game. I'm also devoting some of my side time to putting stuff on DeviantArt; the FA community is a great place, and I'm going to continue uploading here for sure. However, in order to maximize my view-ship and offer my art to a wider audience, I'm going to try and upload to DA and FA simultaneously.

Other than that, thank you all for following/watching/favoriting/loving/eating/lifting/hugging, etcetera! I'll catch up when I can!

Hullo!

As always, I first have to start off with a huge thanks to everyone who has Watched and Commented, Favorited or simply stopped by and taken a look at the burly bara brutes and beasts I got to offer here. It honestly means a lot to me, and though I know I say this every time, it's a delight to see others who share my interest in brawny musclebound dudes, and even more of a pleasure to know that whatever artistic talent I have can be shared and enjoyed. There's a lot of artists out there (especially on here!) who are trying to do the same thing, and I wish them the best and do what I can where I can--though I mainly share the outstanding works I find through my Favorites, I do my best to highlight folks who do tremendous art but might not have a big audience yet. I'm going to try and be better about that in the future, as I know there are plenty more people out there doing awesome bara art that have yet to be fully recognized for their time and effort!

As for my gallery, the biggest piece submitted (in my view) is the MAWrestling 2018 Roster picture I uploaded near the beginning of March. The render is, by far, the largest and most complex I've done yet: individual renders of 10 characters, all in a single image, was a large task that took a while to do, especially as almost every character has some custom element to them, whether it be custom textures, custom morphs, custom props, or custom fur. Doing that many characters made me realize how much time it truly takes for me to really finalize a cast, and my priority since then has been speeding up my ability to make new characters: the hope is, if I can quickly process characters from scratch or template, I can be better able to take requests from you, and introduce guest wrestlers from the FA community, into panels. I announced this a month or two ago, but I'm letting you all know right now that depending on how busy I am, the guest project might not start for another couple of months. It's a big undertaking to me, and I want to make sure that I deliver a top-quality product to you, my audience, and do justice to the amazing and creative characters so many of you have made.

Otherwise, the next big thing is the sudden invasion of Fantasy characters! Orsus the werebear, the dwarves Gimrok and Gimor, the orcish monk Brokul, human ranger Hrokr, bestial beastman Bartholomäus, the shredded goblin Ra'kel...what is this?! Well, with my improved skills at creating new characters thanks to the MAWrestling project, I went ahead and improved, optimized, and enhanced a lot of older characters, which are mostly from the Fantasy universe. This means that I can render scenes with them far quicker and easier than I was before, which will hopefully allow me to spend less time overall putting scenes together (from ALL universes), which means more art from me on a regular basis (and the more bara the better)!

Now, there has been news lately that Skyrim VR for PC (Oculus Rift/Vive) has officially been announced for April 3rd, but I'm going to be traveling all of April, and won't be doing VR stuff. Sadly, I might not be doing Render stuff either, as I may have to bring a different computer with me (my gaming/render laptop monitor is flickering and dying, I think there's a loose cable inside the unit), so sadly April could end up being rather barren for a time. Hopefully I'll bounce back in May/June however, assuming Skyrim VR doesn't have a Bodybuilder Orc Romance mod.

But that's a lot to read, so I'll close up here by saying thanks again, hope you all are enjoying Spring (or what's left of it), and I wish you all well! Feel free to send Notes or leave Comments, I'm open to any question or conversation anyone has to offer (though I may be a day late in responding at times), and otherwise be safe, have fun, and thanks again for stopping by!!

...and you still haven’t gone to America!

[/solid ref]

Anyway, aside from that title I’ve been wanting to use since signing up here, how are you folks doing! Here we are, February 2018 already. The Holidays are over, the last few holdouts with christmas lights still up are starting to wonder if they should come down at this point, and the seasons all around the world are colossally %@!$ed up, but it’s still relatively the beginning of a new year, the opportunity abroad--and where you can’t find opportunity, remember it’s always up to you to make opportunity where you can!

Things have been busy for me, lots of stuff work-related that has been flooding over into my personal life. I should have a month or two I can use for personal projects, art and games and such, but I’ll be busy all of April, and desperately need to fix my laptop monitor, otherwise I won’t have a screen to look at all that month. Aside from that, I’ve been contributing where I can, and hope my occasional injection of bara art is appealing to folks in some way or another.

With that said, a belated and tremendous Thank You to everyone who has Watched, commented, favorited, or even just taken a glance at my page and its contents!! I know I haven’t gotten around to replying to all the comments left on my work in the past month or two, but I’m gonna take some time to respond as soon as I can. I read every remark, and I’m delighted to see your thoughts, opinions, desires, etcetera--it informs me what you as my audience are looking forward to, and helps guide me towards finding a balance of art I enjoy making, and art you enjoy seeing!

With my focus being so wide-spread right now, I’m definitely relying on my jack-of-all-genres approach giving me an opportunity to connect to folks from every subgroup of fandom or interest: Medieval Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Modern Superhero, Shadowrun, Star Wars, Wrestling...all aspects I’m trying to portray in what I got. On a personal note, the Wookiee in my latest render “Wookiee and Gamorrean” was a huge success and moment of pride for me, as I was always intimidated by my wanting to get it just right, and the complexity that comes from huge volumes of hair or fur. I’ll be trying to spread my focusing more to Wrestling in the coming week however, as I made those wrestling anthropomorphic mutants and still haven’t done anything with them. I want to finish one more character at least before I start doing matches (because my matches require a minimum of one heel!), but hopefully you’ll see some stuff this weekend.

Again, a major shout out to all of you stopping by, reading this, enjoying my art, and sharing my art especially! Like most people, I want to reach out as far as possible: I know there’s folks out there with similar tastes as mine, and if I can offer a visualization of their interests, dreams, fascinations or desires, I’ll be fulfilled. Be sure to take a look at my Twitter page for sneak peaks and Works-In-Progress; I’ve already uploaded a render of a Chistori (the reptilian Desann’s species from Jedi Outcast; very similar to an overgrown kowakian monkey-lizard) on there, as well as the anthropomorphic wrestling characters. Other than that, have a good one, be safe and have fun!

Well here we are, the year is 2018, and still no flying cars on the streets!

…I just made that up, hehe.

Anyway, belated Happy 2018 and Happy Holidays and Merry Whatever-You-Call-That-Or-Those-Days, and I hope all of you have been well! I know not everyone did, sadly, so I can only offer my best wishes, and confidence that as human beings you can demonstrate extreme resilience if you steel yourself and plan out what the best course of action would be to put yourself in a more favorable position from which to continue life, and then execute. Easy words to type, a more difficult action to perform, but don't stop fighting for your pursuit of happiness.

For myself, things have gone well, though I have some hurdles approaching in late January and again in early April that I'll be dealing with. Hopefully all goes well, and I'll only have to deal with my own issues as I approach those moments! Right now, the biggest issue I have that's relevant to the online community is whether I can get out all the art I want to do in a timely manner! The holidays were a huge escape for me, from both work, and non-work. I set aside doing artistic renders, in favor of creating render models used for import into VRChat, and before I go further, let me say that if you ever want a virtual bearhug from a musclebound orc, or hulking blue dragon dude, or giant squat muscular bear, catch up with me, the name's "Beastman".

However, I did find time as the holidays came to a close, to put out that ripped vampire fellow—a character I'd been imagining for quite a while and never put in the time to make until now. He's a bit stouter than I originally imagined, but I have no complaints about that. Now I'm going to try to wrap up the wrestling anthropomorphs soonish, so I can start doing wrestling frames.

I'm further planning on combining the channels of a certain gaming orc, with my secretly beastly artistic stream, as it'd make things easier in the long run. Art, rendering, my music, and gaming, all in one package. As a reminder, my stream can be found on Twitch here ("TheUnderCoverBeast"). I've given up hopes of becoming a prime-time streaming channel because of my schedule, but at the very least I can host some flavored events every now and then for folks who are interested!

I love December. I don’t really celebrate Christmas anymore, it’s more of a personal day for me to chill, set up pretty colored lights for a month, eat some less than healthy food I don’t usually eat with frequency I don’t usually eat at, and maybe spend some extra money on toys and games without feeling guilty.

Having said that, I’m also really busy this month! As the holidays approach, the volume of work that needs to get done has less time to get it done in, so I haven’t been building any renders or anything for the past week or two. Add a bit of creative burnout, and I hope it’s a bit understandable why I haven’t uploaded in a while. However, things should be changing as I get more time during the holidays to make stuff, and I’ve been working on background optimization still, doing my best to improve the speed and quality of future renders.

As far as ideas and focus go, I’ve added a bit more to the Fantasy Universe, and will hopefully be doing more still shots. The Sci-Fi Universe has good stuff going for it, but I haven’t spent as much time on it lately. The Shadowrun Universe needs to be dusted off at some point, and the Superhero Universe has about twenty comic panels completed between Force and Marduk completed, but I’m not sure I want to upload them here--I have an issue with writing way too much dialogue, and even after twenty panels, the story has barely gotten anywhere.

Last night however, I began working on a spin-off from the Superhero Universe: inspired by my recent discovery of a game called Fight’N Rage, in which you can experience the thrill of an 80’s homage beat-em-up arcade game where you play as a huge musclebound mutant minotaur luchador going up against muscular jaguar pro-wrestler bad guys, I’ve begun a pure wrestling roster of mostly anthropomorphic characters. You can find a WIP of the first character, a wrestling Panther, on my Twitter page. I’ll be making a minotaur, jaguar, shark, boar, and possibly a lion next. I want to do a wolf as well, but more fur-covered characters will be a challenge and take longer, so I want to get the easy ones out of the way so I at least have an initial cast to show in some wrestling scenes!

I will also be planning on accepting characters from viewers as well, especially if they’re easier to shape (characters with common/easily morphing features and limited full-length fur), if folks would like their own characters to get in on the wrestling action. What I’ll probably do is make a new journal entry specifying what I’ll need from folks who want their characters to participate: art or description of the character, preferred moves, whether they’re a face or a heel, whether they want to be winning or not so winning, all that fun stuff!

As always, thank you all so much for visiting, browsing, favoriting, commenting, and watching! It means alot to me, and hopefully this wrestling idea will be a more effective way of interacting with you all!

Hullo FA Community!

Golly, it's been a year since I hopped on FA and started sharing my renders and stuff, and I've made a fair bit of progress pandering and providing! I'm so glad people are enjoying what I've got to share, and will do my best to continue giving burly bara brutes, beasts and bodybuilders homage.

But onto the current news. I've been wanting to do this for a while, and now I'm finally beginning with a Live Q&A! My hope is this will be a once-a-month (at minimum) opportunity to tune into the community and get some one-on-one time with all of you! I already beg for thoughts and such through comments, but with this Q&A thing, it's literally going to be me spending an hour or two doing a render, streaming it live, and chatting with whoever wants to stop by!

The stream can be found on Twitch, at TheUnderCoverBeast. Click here to jump to the stream!

It'll run between 12:00pm - 2:00pm MST (1900-2100 UTC).

Hopefully this'll be a fun opportunity for me to bond with more of you, and for folks to see what goes into creating a render! I will do my best to answer all questions, regardless of topic (anything goes. Anything.). I will look here for questions as well! So if you are unable or aren't in the mood to join the stream, you can just ask your question here and I'll answer. I answer all questions anyway, whether they're comments or notes or twitter replies, but as far as an 'event question' goes, this Journal entry will work just as well.

I hope some of you are able to stop by! I'll keep music to a minimum, as I personally like listening to my own music when listening to podcasts and such, so if you're just on for questions and seeing art, you won't have to deal with background music you might not be in the mood for--plus I don't want to have to deal with copyright stuff. For now, take care, be safe, have fun, enjoy the rest of the weekend, and ask whatever questions you'd like! Share your thoughts and opinions, on my art, on art in general, or what you want to see in art! What your favorite beast is, or opinion on the hunkiest monsters you've come across! Personal questions, impersonal questions--whatever strikes your fancy, feel free to share it here!


*Turns out I copied the wrong URL. My account is TheUnderCoverBeast, because someone else already took the name and doesn't do anything with it, hurr.

If the fact that I’m running low on creativity wasn’t apparent, hopefully that title has informed you.

Anyway, hullo! Hope everyone’s having a groovy week so far! Last week in October, with Halloween right around the corner! Buddy and I are still fighting over which one of us is gonna be a wookiee jedi, I got more height, he has more width, so either it’s young Chewie or a dwarf wookiee. We’ll figure it out.

Renders! So, obviously I’ve put out a lot of Shadowrun stuff the past week or two. That’s partially because I was really inspired to do Shadowrun stuff, but mostly because it was really easy. Right now, I’m working on automating as much as possible when it comes to post-processing work in Photoshop, by creating Actions that can be triggered, and end up doing a lot of the work for me. The Shadowrun stuff was a great opportunity to set that up, because the scenes were already mostly complete, the characters were already finished, and it was super easy to get a render made and throw it into Photoshop.

What does this mean? Well, hopefully, every week will be a different theme, and I’ll be able to put out four or more renders with ease! Quality over quantity is important however, and I take my time to do my best in making renders look good: shiney, but discernable. Appealing to the eye, but dignified and artistic. 3D modeling is becoming a popular way for producing art or porn, and the way I’m starting to try and stand out is by making my renders more about the characters and story, rather than rampant penises. If I do start rendering dignified dicks (literally, not metaphorically) expect to get news on that via MY NEW TWITTER ACCOUNT! I’ll be trying to post stuff to that regularly, and will usually have more artsy versions of stuff I do on there, as well as work-in-progress stuff.

---

Last, and least, I’ve needed to do some gaming lately. Sadly, my gaming turned into working. Why? What game? An MMO like Star Wars Galaxies that has you working a second job? A simulator like Elite Dangerous that has you working for the most minimal reward-to-effort ratio that exists in gaming?

No. I was busy “playing” (e.g., evaluating) a high-quality mobile game released on PC. It’s called WarnerBros™: Middle™™-Earth™™™: Shadow™™™™™ of™ War™™™™™™™™™, a “single-player” “game” where you spend real-world money for Experience Boosters, and where characters exist only to provide tutorial dialogue describing the next game mechanic you’re going to start investing in, in order to grind credits to use on the Market to buy randomized lootboxes that will help you progress through the game.

I understand there are people here playing Shadow of War who might like it, and good for them--I kind of like it too. Sadly, the things I like about the game are dramatically fewer than the things I don’t like about the game, and despite having the Silver Edition, and despite playing in Offline mode (if you never accept the WarnerBros terms of service, you won’t have access to the Market/Lootboxes/Online components), I feel almost dirty playing the...sorry, but it’s not a game. It’s a corporate marketing experiment designed to see how much gamers can be exploited and psychologically manipulated into spending their real-world money on common gameplay elements converted microtransactions and unregulated gambling. But, I needed to find out for myself.

Anyway, hope everyone has a good rest of the month. Take care of yourselves!

Straight to business!

Burgruk Wartooth, the orcish fellow who likes chatting about games and lifting stuff, has a new Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/burgruk. Especially with the news that MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is a real thing set for release in 2018, expect to see some more streams of MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries with facecam and voice chat. Stop by and share your love!

Also on the topic of streaming, I’ve been planning to do a Live Stream of putting together a render, possibly starting with creating a character using a base figure and doing a full scene that would be uploaded to here. I’d love to show off hair/fur creation, as it’s fairly in-depth and the results are incredibly rewarding, however the next character I have to make is a sci-fi space dragon-man, and might not have much hair. However, if I’m able to figure out a way of creating an Eastern-style dragon, that’d definitely involve hair...but we’ll see what we can do! This Live Stream could be as early as this weekend, so expect to see a submission advertising that. Stream is probably going to be done through Twitch.

Lastly, Wrestling! Choose Your Own Adventure Wrestling! Kinda sorta--so, the wrestling matches I’m putting together are largely determined by chance and statistics--I look at my favorites/comments, and decide which character should win based on popularity. To make things more interactive, I want to post three renders at a time: the Match itself, and two character renders for outcomes. Favorite the wrestling match as much as you like, and if you want Team 1 to win the match, favorite the “Team 1 Wins Outcome” and the same for Team 2. That’s the only way I can think of doing it in a way that keeps the match and choices on FurAffinity, without having to go to a different site to take a poll or whatever.

As always, thanks for visiting, favoriting, watching, commenting and enjoying! Remember, I read EVERY comment or note you send me, and so far I think I have a 95% response record! So share your thoughts here, I’ll share art here, and together we’ll share a love and passion for big burly brawny brawling bodybuilding beasts!

Well it's almost another month gone, as we move towards October! Or, Orctober! I approve of both!

The weather's been amazingly cool over here. About two weeks ago we had some thunderstorms roll in (probably relevant to the tropical fury traveling across the country from the south-east), the weather dropped to a wonderful 60°F, it was windy and rainy and downright adventurous. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Gotta remember a lot of people didn't though—the chaos along the south-east coast was astonishing, and a reminder that as good as we have things, we need to continue to improve as a species. Science is the single most reliable tool for advancing technology and our understanding of the world in which we live. Hopefully people begin recognizing that, and begin using these tools to better prepare and prevent such catastrophes as we've witnessed. I hope everyone who has been affected by the recent storms is able to recover from this tragic event in whatever way possible.

On a more personal note, art! So, I've reviewed the feedback and favorites on my stuff and as expected, Bartholomaus the Beast is in the lead in terms of my popular characters, with the First Day of Winter render number eight in the top ten most favorited works I've shared here. The one featuring the beast and Brandur the human mage up close and personal however, only has half the favorites, which surprises me a bit considering how fuzzy and cuddly Bartholomaus looks, but you folks favorite what you will! If I feel obligated to include my human cast in renders, maybe I'll try keeping them to the side a bit, to leave a full and pure, unaltered view of whatever handsome beast happens to be on display! Like I say, I want to adapt to what you as my audience would like to see. Which is why I'm planning on making some more shameless wrestling renders very soon, because Hugo and Bjorn's wrestling match featuring what I hope will be dubbed the gorillahug from now on (why does "bearhug" look so much better in text than "gorillahug"?) is my second most favorited work of all time, with only 400 less views than my top-most render "Beast 003"—and Hugo and Bjorn 001 was uploaded only two months ago, compared to the Beast 003 which was uploaded 8 months ago.

Bottom line: you folks like wrestling. Whether it's the aspect of wrestling, or a musclebound gorilla putting the squeeze on a human-ish fellow, or the play of dominance and submission—it's clear there's something about the image that has you folks enjoying it. I'm going to experiment a little with my wrestling renders, to try and pinpoint what those most popular aspects are.

Last but not least, what in the world is "addiction" referring to in the title of this journal?! Well, it refers to STAR WARS GALAXIES. More specifically, SWGEMU. Because this journal is already overly long, I'm not going to gush about it here (expect that next week if I can pull myself away from the game), but suffice to say, Star Wars Galaxies was amazing in its live days, and even now in its EMU days it's still pretty amazing. The staff of SWGEMU has put in amazing work, and recently released Publish 9, which introduces the early stages of progressing towards Jedi, and knowing that one of my wookiees could be or become force sensitive is a pretty amazing thought. The game is deep. Check out Burgruk's twitch stream sometime to see some footage (usually on the weekend). Between SWG, and working on an actual wookiee jedi costume for an event this Saturday and next month, I've had my time occupied. Hopefully I'll be able to put out those wrestling renders following next week!

To answer a basic question however: SWGEMU is an emulated server project for SWG. It is absolutely legal to play, and requires you to own a copy of the game in order to play. SWGEMU made an agreement with Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and LucasArts to run the server, unlike WoW private servers for example; do not compare the two, cause it's inaccurate to do so!

Anywho! As always, thank you all so much for stopping by, checking stuff out, and hopefully enjoying the content I got on display here! Remember to comment and favorite, as that tells me what you want to see more of and helps me better adjust things towards your interests! For now, take care, be safe and have fun!

Hullo! As per usual, thanks for stopping by, checking out my work, sharing your thoughts, adding stuff to your favorites--your contribution in any way to what I have here helps me further my goal of providing the community here with artwork that is interesting and appealing, so the more input you give me, the more I can tailor what I got to whatever your heart desires...! Well, almost. I mean I'll do my best, but I do have a little bit of an agenda here, with my own character roster and stuff (though I try to keep it varied)!

Hope you and everyone else about here is doing well. Lately I've been as busy as I normally am, and squandered most of a four day weekend playing video games in my free time instead of doing render stuff. However, not all the time was lost, as I've been doing a bit of an overhaul of some of my characters in order to make them look better, or look more unique. Brandur the Nord fire mage, for example, was pretty much a visual clone of Hrokr the human Ranger, so I put some time into changing that for the better, I hope! Also on the list was the simply (and confusingly, considering my usual subjects) named "Beast", which is the fantasy beastman who seems to represent me and my account here on FA! Before, the hair he was using was very low quality, pretty glitchy, and not all that visually interesting. It took hours in Photoshop to make the three renders of him worthy of looking at, and it was my intention as soon as I learned how to use my hair rendering plugin to redo his hair completely from scratch. Well, that's done for the most part, and my most recent upload is a demonstration of this fact! I hope it's appealing!

The Shadowrun Ork is no longer my character--he's going to have a slight redesign and be named in honor of the lead protagonist in a short novel being put together by a good buddy of mine, which I might share here in the near future once I get his input. Expect this journal to be updated in the near future. Replacing my Ork however, is going to be one of similar qualities (Japanese former-Yakuza Street Samurai) named Goro Mazurowski, runner name "Adonis". The Troll also has a name I've been hiding for a while, which I'm personally in love with: "Bruce McGrath", runner name "Atlas". At the moment I'm focused on the fantasy setting, so I'll be doing some more renders there, and then probably one or two renders in the modern superhero setting after that. But beyond those two realms I'll hopefully be able to put some more time into the Shadowrun characters that I love (and finish them, I'm still missing like, three characters on the team I haven't made yet).

So, there's an update for now! You all be safe and have fun, and I hope you enjoy all this page has to offer!

As always, a tremendous thanks to all viewers, visitors, watchers and well-wishers! I do appreciate the visits, favorites, comments, and anything else, as it helps me get direction on what you as my audience are looking forward to! So, I've taken the time to reorganize my to-do list, and I've got a few of the more popular characters on the front stage.

The recent ones I've done at time of this journal entry are about Brokul the orcish monk and Hrokr the human ranger, and the seeming romance between them. They're two characters in a plot that I was writing three years ago, and only just now am I finally seeing the pieces starting to come together. Though because I'm torn between still wallpaper-sized renders and smaller comic-styled frames, it might take me a while to put everything together to start sharing their story in the way I've shared Bjorn's story, and Karr's story before him. If you regard each of these 'universes' thoughtfully, you might notice the trend of the lead character being an experienced, mostly human, strong but-not-hulkish male, who usually has a larger companion at their side. This trend kind of comes from the thoughts I had in my own youth when I was living on my own in the bordering-on-remote wilderness of Alaska, a few miles outside Fairbanks. Back then, I went on various hikes or adventures into the woodland, and though I enjoyed it, I was rather lonely. I'm more the dominant sort these days, bigger now that I have access to food and the gym, and with a few more friends than I once had--but the thought that I wouldn't be the only one with that sort of idea: traveling in the wilderness. or into the unknown, with a strong, trustworthy companion by your side. If that thought appeals to you, then I hope in some small way you are able to connect and empathize with the characters I'm offering thus far!

Wow, that was a big paragraph. Anyway, I also have a plot outlined for the Shadowrun render series, and hopefully I'll be able to work on that as well. For the time being, I'm going to do a few specialty renders (characters that are popular) before working on another 'comic' series. I'll also want to figure out a better, easier way to do speech bubbles.

On a side-note, Imgur, the popular image hosting website, has let me down in the past two days. I've tested uploading images, and found the quality of my uploads has been significantly reduced. Yeah, .JPEG isn't a super high-quality format, but even .PNG images are losing their quality. I uploaded an exact same image I uploaded a year ago, and the comparison between them is night and day! Is anyone else experiencing this? Has Imgur introduced some kind of image quality, or file size limit? Is there a maximum album/account size? I tried deleting a lot of pictures to 'free up space', but the quality hasn't changed--even after toggling High Quality Uploads to 'On'. It's a mystery that frustrates me, as my WIP renders go there for a quality check/critique before I upload them here, and now the quality is hardly worth using it any longer.

Anyway! I do hope you all are having a wonderful month thus far. For those living in warmer climates and hoping for cool air, it'll hopefully be here soon enough! This desert I'm in is boiling during the day, and my northerner genetics scream misery whenever even a slight breeze rolls in through the door and ruins whatever the air conditioning was struggling to achieve. So for all your sakes, stay cool, use sunblock, and hydrate, hydrate hydrate!!!

And greetings! And thanks to all you who have +watched, +add to favorites'd, commented, or just stopped by to take a peak! As always I appreciate the interaction no matter what type it might be. Comments especially though! Like most people, especially artists, having feedback is supremely beneficial, and is helping me figure out what niche I'm filling by being here. Which leads me to some thoughts, and I'll share a few of them for anyone patient enough to offer their time and empathy!

Over the past few years, CG art has grown in popularity and accessibility. Working with 3D models for nearly a decade, having got into video games and started by making custom lightsabers for Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, I had a headstart when it came to using programs like Daz Studio. Sadly I never shared my 3D art as I felt everything was a personal experiment, with most of my renders merely scraps to be set aside as I worked towards developing professional-looking stills I could be proud of showing off. And, today, as I reach that point where I think my work has reached a quality worth sharing, I'm suddenly right in the middle of the road, with traffic on either side; other 3D artists sharing their work for peoples' enjoyment! And, in some cases, payment.

It seems like a lot of folks are putting together Patreon pages to support their work. I've thought about doing it too, but being in the rather secure job field of 'the military', I have it rather easy, and don't have the same necessity for money from secondary or tertiary sources as a lot of full or part-time artists might. So, I've never taken the time to set anything up. It might also be a reason why I haven't opened myself up to commissions either--in a way, I kind of feel like there are people more deserving of donations than me. But, at the same time, my time has value, and I probably wouldn't be doing commissions or anything for free, because I could nevertheless use some monetary remuneration for my time and effort.

Sheesh, feel like I missed out not going for a Business degree! So to change gears, what about content? FurAffinity being what it seems to be, I note there's something of a fascination particularly with the bara community centered around penises, and this phallic obsession permeates the art most commonly seen on the site. And hey, I got nothing against it--but to the observant viewer, one might note that there are no 'exposed erectiles' to be found in my little corner here! Well, simply put, I don't really have the same degree of fixation on a male's junk, so I probably won't be doing anything that involves dicks. You can tell I'm running out of fun names for it at this point.

Anyway, just a little bit of information there, I might come up with more as time goes by. The important stuff is with the content I'm doing however! Noting the utterly amazing response I got with the first Shadowrun - Troll render, I gotta say, I'm definitely getting a better sense of direction as to where my Gallery is heading! Though because I have an interest in a lot of my work on here that doesn't get as much attention, I'm gonna still upload both types. You'll see plenty of humans, dwarves, orcs--mostly furless not-quite-beasts, etcetera. Even though I know you, my audience, might not be as totally enthralled by those compared to burly Troll manly man, I hope the variety keeps things unique and interesting at the least!

For now, I'm off to run, but I look forward to reading any more comments, and sharing thoughts as they come. Good luck this week, to everyone!

Hullo FA Community!

Once again, I can't express in the time I have to express stuff how delighted I am to have visitors stop by and take a look at my gallery--knowing I've got a product that appeals to people, art that people find pleasure in viewing, makes me feel pretty darn good. I'm still working on putting together a few new characters for scenes, but it's still at a reduced pace I'm afraid. Got plenty of stuff going on outside of art and video games that I need to be focused on in the meanwhile.

Inside video games however, I've been having a blast with Elite Dangerous with my buddies, and Champions Online with other buddies--maybe more the former and less the latter, as I seem to be on at the worst times for socializing in Champions Online. Spend more of my time on Elite Dangerous, I'd say. It's like Truck Simulator but with weaponry. And in space.

And inside art, like I said I've been putting together some characters for renders, but I'm having a bit of a slow down with a few issues here and there. Stuff I'm trying to tweak to lead to faster output, but sadly the time it's taking me to tweak is just as long as the delays that slow down the volume of my output to begin with! Not sure how long I'm gonna keep at it before I just start rendering scenes I've got in mind. Aside from creating small biographies of characters I make, I also try to craft stories around them. Most of the uploads I have simply are titled "Character Name 00#" or whatever, with a small few sentences on who they are in the description, while on some uploads I've actually put stories into. I have story ideas for all my characters, typed-up outlines for most of my characters, but only a select few have the full excerpt included with the upload.

Keep on leaving comments about how you like the stories attached to the renders. If the short stories are something that turns out to be popular (based on your interactions with me), I'll attach more of them! So let that be an incentive! I want you to leave a comment, to share your thoughts and opinions! Positive, negative, on topic, off topic, whatever you got, I'm happy to hear it. If I don't respond within a day or so, it's probably cause I'm busy, but I guarantee I read every comment, note, or shout that comes my way within 24 hours.

With all that typed up, I'm gonna go ahead and fiddle about with some more render work for a few and hopefully have something to show for all the free time I've had this weekend! Sorry, I got a thing called TrackIR, which makes Elite Dangerous and ARMA 3 reeeeeaally immersive! Nothing like a VR Headset so I'm told, but still pretty darn good. I'll pull myself away from it for a little bit!

Well hullo there! That's right: after a month since my last upload, I finally upload two renders! To the overtly observant, you might note they're Gift renders. Now, before you start bouncing up and down with excitement, I'm still not open for commissions I'm afraid. I honestly just don't have the time right now.

The way I schedule my day (and to the unorganized, I hope this is a useful strategy and lesson), is by putting things into blocks: I have a [Work] block, a [Sleep] block, and [Personal] blocks divided into sub-blocks for [Essential] and [Free]. The only time I have to do renders is in the [Free] block, and with 24 hours in a day, my [Free] blocks usually total only around 4 or 5 hours, and they're split up throughout the day (for example, 1 hour at lunch, 3 hours after work). But when it comes to art (traditional or digital), I usually need to:
a) Be in the mood
b) Have a huge uninterrupted time block
And sadly those circumstances don't always align. When they do, I crank out renders, which is why I tend to upload in bursts (that whole Gargoyle line was pretty much 2 panels a day, averaged out!). So, for the past month, I've just had other priorities with my free time. My life is organized and my free time is optimized, so I'm doing the best I can, and hope to have plenty of burly bara wrestling renders put up here for folks to enjoy in the near future!

Alright! Now that my excuses are out of the way, how's everyone doing! Hope everyone's had a good March, and hope everyone's being productive to making a good start to April! As spring finally takes over, and as I look over art here there and everywhere for inspiration and good feels, I found myself just a few minutes ago feeling a strange peaceful sensation upon seeing a piece of art by Anhes called "Wool Cap". The image's composition triggered my imagination/memory, and made me realize something I profoundly enjoy is an urban atmosphere during a cool day with fog, rain and sunlight. There's something about sunny rain that always makes me weirdly uneasy, and I have no idea why. But when it's foggy and cool and the world is washed out and grey, it makes me feel good--and a shirtless or tanktop wearing urban-dressed hunk is just icing on top of the cake. I might play with that kind of atmosphere in a few test renders, just to satisfy my imagination, and hopefully I'll come out with some more renders soon.

Well, thanks for reading! That was completely off topic and everything, and this journal entry is mainly just me saying I'm not dead yet, so thanks for stopping by and be sure to take a look through the gallery! I hope you enjoy what you see, and are looking forward to more in the future! Be sure to Favorite things you especially like, as well as leave a comment--I tally the number of favorites and comments to know what characters/scenes are most popular, so the more people like something, the more likely I'll do a render similar to that (or involving the same characters) in the future!

Hello FurAffinity. I've missed you, more or less! You're a constant reminder of how little time I've spent towards art lately!

Which is something I do intend to fix here at some point! I've got a big story thing all lined out, so I want to start putting that together, but I've been running into some glitches that are making it a challenge sadly. But once I take the time to sit down and sort that out, I'll definitely be throwing some more bara stuff out there! Next setting is going to be modern, and I think I'm gonna switch back and forth for that (one month fantasy, one month modern, with renders from both genres in-between if I can put in the time!).

Stories and comic things aren't the only thing I got going for this account though. I want to make pin-up style art and such, but I'd like to have my big project at least rolling forward before dividing my time up between different subjects. Mandatory shout-out to EVERYONE who has Favorited, Watched, Commented, or simply stopped by to see what's around here! I totally appreciate it, and hope to bring some new stuff soon! It's been busy around here lately is all, but I think things are starting to get back on track.

Also throwing another plug to my orcish-seeming buddy who you can find streaming his favorite nostalgic classic games, as well as more modern games. He's been playing a hulking musclebound Orc monk and an Argonian pirate with a full bara-crew on Skyrim lately, and he really does sound like an orc when he talks to his audience, so if you're interested in that definitely say 'hi'. His focus is mostly taking the time to have conversations with whoever is in chat while he's playing, and the game is just a background thing that's nice to look at. It's pretty cool how he does it, I think, and he's a nice guy. His Twitch channel can be found here, and you can look him up on Facebook or Twitter.

Many cheers to everyone for taking the time to visit here as always, and I hope everyone has a good one!

Hullo once more community that is here and watching, and happy Valentine's Day! According to Wikipedia, there are at least three major versions of the holiday, one being a Christian religious observance, one being a bit more secular in that it focuses on romantic love, and the third being some kind of religious feast or something. I appeal to the second one in this journal entry, and say unto you: "Happy Valentine's Day! For it is the day of love and romance, not merely between one and their lover, but between individuals, groups of individuals, and all whom are called friends. I wish you all the love I can offer, because I value all those who strive to benefit humanity--whether that be through acts of charity and good will, the kindness of sharing one's personal art and creativity with others, or for simply being there to render joyous greetings to your fellow human!"

And on that note, I want to offer my most sincere thanks to each and every one of you who have visited my gallery here, favorited my works, +watched me, or left comments--I do sincerely thank all of you for your time and interest! Do note that so far I've successfully replied to every comment thrown at me (as last I checked), so take it as a sign that I try to be as inclusive as possible! If you have any thoughts you want to share, ideas, or otherwise, don't hesitate to leave a message on one of my images, or send me a Note! I'm always more than happy to reply!

Updates! So there was a ten day gap between my last group of introduced characters, and the new and exciting sort of comic thing I've put together. Work's been busy for me, and I'm trying to make the most with my free time, but I finally had an opening in which I could start making this little project come to fruition. I hope folks are enjoying it so far--my main goal, with all my uploads, is to tell a story, as well as appeal to not only my personal tastes, but the interests of those who demonstrate their own interest by favoriting, +watching, and so on. If you enjoy what I do, let me know! If you enjoy something particular about what I've been doing, let me know and I'll try to do more of it!

Stories! "Gargoyle" is going to be somewhere around a 25-part story (depending on how many action frames I cram into a single panel). It's also an experiment into comic formatting--I'm figuring out ways of telling a story, incorporating character dialogue and later on some narration, without necessarily taking away from the scale and function of my renders (most of my renders you'll note are 1080p). While the comics probably won't be as big as a desktop wallpaper, I still want to show as much of the scenery and characters as possible, and I'm continuing to learn more about ways of doing that. Note that once I start with a particular style of framing and dialogue boxes/bubbles, I'm going to stick with it for the rest of that series, in order to avoid having a comic series in which the format suddenly changes half way, as that'd be rather jarring. I'm thinking Series I: Gargoyle will be done by the end of the weekend.

Lastly a little reminder, that Orc who broadcasts video games on Twitch is being a bit nostalgic lately, and playing Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire, and later on GoldenEye 64. If you want to converse with a modern weight-lifting, truck-driving, fancy-cooking orc video gamer, he's always happy to have folks around. Check him out on Twitter or Facebook to let him know you're interested in watching, cause the more people he knows want to watch, the more often he'll probably stream.

Other than that, allow me to type Thank You one more time, and wish you all the best!

Hullo again visitors and a belated Happy Christmas and a Merry New Years! Like myself, I hope you all had a satisfying, relaxing, and very jolly winter break, whether you're a student or working or anything else, this is at least for me, the one time of year I can seriously empty my brain and just enjoy being me for a week or so. Anyway, down to business.

Guild Wars 2! Ain't been doing renders because I've been busy settling my new addiction to Guild Wars 2--a fantastic game that revolutionizes online multiplayer by being an MMO that feels more like a fantasy Warframe, with an important focus on gameplay that makes it unlike anything that has ever come before. It's a fast-paced action game for gamers who want an online experience that rivals the scope and scale of WoW, but with greater fidelity and attention to detail--without the slow, boring, grinding mechanics that have existed in MMOs for over a decade until now. Definitely get to playing it.

Orcs! That orc dude I know hasn't been doing his thing either for pretty much the same reasons, and probably eggnog. There ought to be a few holiday pictures I'll be putting up eventually, but keep an eye on his Twitter and Facebook for early looks into that.

Story! The few people brave enough to post comments on some stuff have boldly inquired about some actual descriptions and stories that talk about the characters! I'm gonna try to get to that as well--thankfully I got a little free time in the day to do that (at the moment) so I'll be taking care of at least a few of them today if I can.

Other than that, I do hope you're all doing well, being safe, and having fun. Do browse through the gallery, remember that what you favorite tells me what you want to see more of, and never hesitate to leave a comment, even if it's just "Neat!" or "Cool!" or "I'll sue you for damages!"

Hullo, FA Community, friendly visitors, etcetera. Glad you stopped by! Obviously this account is new, and I transferred some old renders over to here just to fill up my gallery and let folks know sort of what I do and what I'll upload here most often.

Though I've dabbled in digital drawing, I find myself doing renders these days--easier, faster and better quality than my drawing skills. I play video games, lift weights, eat food and go on adventures. And repeat.

Coincidentally, if you're at all interested in following the adventures of a bodybuilding orc who plays video games, do visit the Twitch, Twitter and Facebook pages of "Burgruk Wartooth", cause that's exactly what it's about! Stop by and enjoy a chat or anything else.

Seriously, I'm a friendly and open guy who doesn't mind having a conversation about pretty much anything. Things I'm interested in usually get talked more, but hey, I don't judge, and I've always been there to help folks in whatever community I've been a part of. Not sure how deep I'm gonna get involved here, but I'm certainly open for messaging.

Cheers!

*True to my plan, I see that The Beast character I'm working on is the prime favorite for viewers (which makes a bit of sense!)! So, I went ahead and did a new one of him! I'll tackle the other more popular ones, and maybe weekly do a 'Favorites Recount' to determine what new character I put in the spotlight.
Remember, Favoring one of my things is like a Vote saying you want more of them, so get into that gallery and do some Voting! As always, thanks for stopping by and taking a look, and I do hope you enjoy a bit of what you see!
