Hey!! I hope you had a cool summer!!
I've been really busy and I've barely been able to draw anything, but I have a surprise. I'm doing art in Sinktember this year.
Yes, everything I haven't drawn this year, I'm going to do in a month, how ironic!! I'm sorry I'm not there these days, but you know, boring IRL stuff.

I've already posted some of my work on X and Bluesky. When September ends, I'll post all of my work here. I'm not going to do it for the moment so as not to overload my followers' art feeds, since I'm experiencing an unexpected effect on social media. With so many artists posting, I'm suffering a slight shadowban on X, since there's a lot of art, and the feed is getting spammed with a lot of works, and I'm seeing a not very usual drop in views on my art. The algorithm isn't helping me much, but I'm not worried.

IF you want to see my art before I post it here, you can check it out at the two links I'll leave below:

Have a great September.

This is more of a security tip than a warning, it's not a serious thing at the moment and I don't mean to scare anyone.

It seems that a group of skiddies is causing massive bot attacks on our servers. This is something that is starting to become an ugly routine, because there have been several incidents of this type this week and I want to warn my followers.
They are a group called The Capo Trolls (yeah, its sounds as cringe as it looks 🤣), and their target are furry servers and aquaphilia content servers. There have already been several servers attacked and we more or less know how they do it.
They usually infiltrate the server as any user through an invitation, or in the worst case they use a victim whose account they steal. From inside they start using an exploit of a Discord bot called Dyno, and they use it to spam a lot of dangerous content in all the open chats of the server and by using the command @everyone so that all users are alerted.
Then they start dumping a lot of spam that includes malicious links, gore and very obscene images, images with clearly fascist symbols from the 40s and of course gifs that can cause epileptic attacks.

If you are a owner of a server related to this type of content, you must uninstall the Dyno bot for safety. And you have to limit the server invitations only to users that are not new to using the Discord app. If possible, only invite users that have been created 10 or more months ago. Check for users that have strange behavior or that show signs of being hacked. And carefully check for strange links using the virustotal.com website.

If you are a user, remember to restrict your DMs to friends only. If you see someone sharing a video or photo that doesn't load properly in the chat, don't open it from your browser, and check the link on virustotal.com. Don't share the invite link with strangers, and don't click on invites from unknown servers. It can be a trap.

Otherwise, I'm glad I don't have a server. I'm getting too old for this nonsense.
Stay safe people.
And don't forget to take a breath before you dive in.
See you soon!!

Before I'll start, yeah, I'm back!! And sorry for my absence. I was so busy this days that I can barely enter here too. Adult stuff. They always told that when I turned 30 I wouldn't have time for anything, and they were right.

Anyway. Recently Mr Ego-on Max has made an update to the terms of use of Twitter X that has caused controversy. And of course I'm testing the possible future alternative for that social media.
I'm been using Bluesky during a few weeks and yeah, its pretty cool, but I have a problem. For some reasons the algorithm of that place isn't helping me. After a few "spicy post" I have receive a big shadowban that I never seen before. I only have a few followers there and its seems that they almost can't see my art in their feeds.
I'm supposed to change my social media for my art posting to improve things, not to go back to the problems of the past. I'll almost certainly continue to use both options in the future and not decide to make a change until I have everything decided. I'll continue to use twitter/X despite the AI ​​grok thing.

If you are interesting, you can follow me here:

But don't worry, I'll keep using X as usual. After all, it's still the page where I have the bulk of my followers and I've had a lot of success there in my last works. Like this one 😏

Enjoy, and don't forget to take a breath before you dive

I've had to delete some drawings I've done in the past, because they are based on a character that belongs to a person who has been involved in acts of questionable morality.

Of course, I want to make it clear that I was completely unaware of this person's behavior, and that I didn't find out about it until just 2 days ago. And of course, I want to make it clear that I completely reject this type of behavior, and I will never promote.

Sorry for the inconvenience, it was hard even for me, because I loved those drawings, but after what happened I'd rather not get involved in another controversy, or receive strange questions via DM because of that art.

Of course I will not answer questions and I will not mention the name of the person in question to avoid a hunt or harassment towards him/her. I do not want any kind of cancellation or vigilante behavior of any kind. If I find out that someone who follows me does the above they will be permanently banned and blocked.


I also want to make it clear that from now on, I will not do commissions or made art of characters that do not belong to me. From now on I will only draw my own OCs or whatever I want, period.

I have to be honest, I'm not a big fan of how things are done on this site, and I have my creative differences, but that doesn't mean I won't leave my condolences.
Dragoneer has changed the lives of many people thanks to Fur Affinity, and we should all be grateful for that.
The fact that this person died at a young age is a clear example of how corrupt and bad the health system is in the United States. I will never understand how a simple medical appointment with your doctor can be more expensive than buying a car in that country. The last time I went to the private doctor I only paid him 350 euros, and he even did an ultrasound on the muscle that was affected. These are things I will never understand from there.

Anyway, I hope this dragon has a great journey to the afterlife now. We will miss him very much. Without him, nothing that happens in this community would be possible.

Rest in peace, my friend. And fly high now.

Hi!!!
I still alive!!! Maybe not very active lately, but I have my reasons. There are very few people in my company now, so now the workload is double and I hardly have time to draw.
Either that, or when I finally sit down with the wacom in front of me, I start procrastinating like crazy. (I've been doing one drawing for a month now. 🤣)

Well, after many days thinking and after spending months working on something that I'm starting to dislike, I've been thinking for a while about making a living from my art. I know it's crazy, and maybe it's almost harder than working as a technician as I am now.
I've been thinking for a while now about some way to get the so-called "passive income". I think I'd like to find some way for my drawings to generate some profit, the problem is how.
I don't want to do commissions, it's something that takes up more time than I have right now. Not to mention that some clients can be worse than my boss.
I don't want to create a patreon or something that requires to force someone to donate money. I was thinking about using my own webpage with advertising and earn income from it.
But I have another obstacles. Google Ads is completely exclude, not sure if that platform allows you to advertise next to horny content, but I think not. And other advertisers may, but they will pay even less.
Then there's the fact that I have to pay for the host and other things, so things get complicated. Years ago I had my own website made with a very simple wordpress template, and it worked with barely any programming knowledge. I think it's possible, but I need to make a roadmap for that.

In other news... Today its my birthday!! Yeah!! Today I'm a bit more close of being a pensioner, now I just need about 40 years more to became in one. 😜
Coming soon you will see more of my art. Now I'm more active on Twitter/X. Yup, that page has such a bad reputation and whose owner completely crazy. But I like to share and re-post what other artists do there.

See you all soon!!! And don't forget to breath!!!

Hey guys and lads, or whatever:

Due to small complications in my life, such as a new job that takes up a lot of my free time, studying after work, other personal things, etc... I'm afraid there won't be any drawings of mine for a while.
I'm at a point in my life where I have to do literally everything, and I'm afraid I don't have enough free time for my art. Well, except when I have an attack of insomnia and I don't sleep at all all night, and then to avoid getting bored I'll start drawing.
The truth is that I'm making a lot of sacrifices in my personal life right now, and I don't know how long I'll continue like this, probably a month.
So if you notice a lack of activity on my profiles, don't worry. I am still alive.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too in case I don't come back around that time.


It's not a "goodbye" it's a "see you later."

New policy and new problems.
I must say that I don't have to be afraid of her (in theory) since all my characters are adults and are between 23 and 300 years old. When I started creating my kobolds I designed them even taller than usual to avoid being confused by loli/cub or underage. My art respects the policy and rules of this site, but I fear "false positives" and "misunderstandings" with this political update.
One of my characters (Rebecca) have a non-normative body, she is an androgynous character, she does not have breasts, she is not voluptuous, and she could possibly cause me some problem with the new policy update which "they look at anatomy proportionally alongside other context in submissions".
So... I have to be worried? I think it's too soon to have that answer 🤣

Ok, I think I've created an unnecessary alarm.
Maybe I shouldn't have written that journal, because it's not such a big deal. I am fine and safe. Many have asked me through DM about what happened.
Even so thanks. ❤️

Ok, first of all, I hate do this thing, but I know that the person who its still bother me and my friends its reading this so,
I'm going to be clear: this is my first warning.
I am not going to say your name (I have urged others who know this story to avoid doing so, yet) nor am I going to mention
all your lies and the bad things you have done. I hate cancel culture and I don't want to be a part of it, but if you keep
insisting I'm going to expose you. Stop harassing me and others. I will not accept more friend requests from you.
You are alone. I know who you are. We know who you are.

As a daily user of Twitter, I have to say that I'm a bit worried. Not much but kinda bit 😆

Ok, I must also say that I am not surprised. As a petrolhead that I am, I already knew Elon Musk for years.
When he became a millionaire thanks to his company x.com, he did not hesitate to buy a McLaren F1. That was the fastest, most technological and most expensive car in the world... And he ended up crashing it. When he was in a trip with Peter Thiel, the cofounder of Paypal, Thiel ask him "So, what can this car do?" and them Musk says "Watch this!!!" and the car crashed down a mountain. Both got out the car no injured, and Musk far from being worried or angry or sad after crasing his precious car, he starts to laughing, and he says "You don't know the funny part: its not even insured".

So, after many years of that incident with that hyper car, Musk has a new toy. And looks like he is willing to crashing it throw a mountain.
Not gonna lie. When I got the news that he was going to buy twitter I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea. In fact, I liked the idea of Musk making the source code public and making it open source, but after what has happened with payment verification and many other problems that lie ahead, I am beginning to regret it.

Well, I don't think Twitter will crash like a Space X rocket into the ocean, but knowing this guy's biography, I can expect anything. Only with time will we know what will happen.

Well, welcome to the 80's. To that time when some music producers banned using samples and synthesizers because according to them "it wasn't something creative" 😕.

This week I have been using an AI to test what it was capable of. I was surprised by the quality, it is perfect to create backgrounds or to have some inspiration. But, as always, we have collided with the Holy Inquisition.
The creators of Furaffinity are literally chasing ghosts. I admit that at first I was worried about the arrival of AIs and what it could mean for artists. But after trying out Midjourney (and paying a subscription to keep using it) I've found that it can be a very useful tool. Yes, I've said it, a tool, like Clip Paint Studio or Krita.
Ok, now I can't use it. What will be next, forbidding me to use the Wacom and go back to using pencil and paper?

If they want to improve FA, why don't they start by improving the web interface, for example? Really. The interface sucks. It's like going back to the year 2003. Also you can't report content like on twitter or Youtube. It is not the first time that I find unpleasant things on the main page of the gallery (like bodies or mutilations and snuff things) and I can not do anything because there is no "report" button. Welcome to 2022!!! Wake up and improve this sh**** site once and for all!!! 🤬

Anyway, I hope you don't mind complaining a bit about the situation. But I needed to vent a bit.
Very soon there will be news in the form of art on my profile (real art made by me, okay FA? 😜).
I hope you have a happy last few days of summer before fall.

See you at the bottom of the pool. Take a breath.

Wooaaahh!!!

This is AWESOME!!!! I notice that everyone like my latest drawings. Thank you all so much.
I even got a lot of likes on twitter. Don't worry, there will be more in the future.

Take a breath. 👍‍

Well, I know, its May and the summer its comming.
I should be drawing refreshing mermaids for Mermay, but unfortunately I don't have much free time right now. Although if you want to see mermaids, you can take a look at the ones I did in Mermay last year:
Here and Here
Apparently a prophecy has come true for me recently and a real mermaid rescued me from drowning a few weeks ago (Well... more or less 😋). These days I have started dating a woman and I have been somewhat busy. So you will have to wait some time if you want to see more news.
So, take a deep breath and I'll see you in the bottom. 👍‍

I had a very absurd problem with a comic I drew in September. It was the comic where Cynthia drowned a guy in a pool. Inkbunny has hidden my comic, aparently they have a policy that they cannot appear sexualized humans, or having sexual relations.
After spending an hour talking to an IB mod trying to convince him that it is not bestiality and reading some strange German laws on 'animal pornography', in the end I have not achieved anything.
It is very unfair. You can post cub art there and it's fine, but you can't post a relationship between an adult kobold and an adult human because it's illegal. Why? My kobold is not a dog or a donkey, she is an intelligent being who can speak our language and easily passes the Harkness test. Bestiality? My ass. 😡
And if an interspecies relationship is illegal in Germany, it's just art, it's fantasy. It has never happened. No kobolds or humans have been harmed during the drawing process. 🤣 This is ridiculous!!
Are you telling me that this episode of Doctor Who in which two beings of different species are kissing it's illegal, and is censored in Germany?

https://youtu.be/YTCAfoN1-GQ

Anyway. I have come to the conclusion that Germany has very strange laws. You can put a car at 200kmh on the highway, but you can't fuck a really sexy reptilian girl. Danke Deutschland 😜

This year many things will change in my life. I plan to continue learning to draw, it is something you never stop learning, you are always looking for new techniques.

Last year was when I started drawing again. It was something I hadn't done since I was a teenager due to personal problems. Last year around this time I entered a discord server that was not going through a good time (I don't want to dig into the details of what happened) and for which it underwent a serious remodeling. One of the mods created interesting characters that were part of the lore on that server and I drew one of them. I also drew her sona, something I might regret a bit.

I am no longer on that server due to many things that I am not going to mention here. (I'm not from the Cancel Culture, and I don't want to look for problems with anyone) The fact is that, I'm going to have to delete those drawings. I don't feel comfortable with them. Doing this hurts me, but what the mods did with me and with some users who were there is more painful, and I prefer to make a clean slate.

I hope you understand. Thank you very much for reading all this text and reading it to the end.

See you at the bottom of the pool. Take a breath. 😉
