Sadly yes, BUT I LIVED

It's been awhile since I've done anything furry art related, and I am so happy that it is feeling refreshing again, I feel like I am starting to get back my spark for art, now I just need to stoke it and see what kind of flames I can create! This journal is not too informative, I've been through a bunch of stuff, and needed to get other stuff sorted before I felt comfortable enough to start posting and working on art again. That being said, I am back, and I am going to try and be better than ever as an artist. For personal reasons, I had to step away from making any kind of art for around two years, but I'm looking forward destroying that dry spell. I plan on posting roughly 2 pieces a week, and hopefully I should be able to keep that up for awhile. And then I also want to make a youtube channel, so I'm going to figure out exactly how I want that to be, and soon as I have video ideas down, I'm going to get right to making them. I'm probably not going to be taking many commissions at first, I am doing this because I love doing it, and right now I need to focus on that. I definitely want to do other people's characters, I just need to also figure out the best ways to go about that ^^'

here's to hopefully a fruitful year to come, and here's hoping that I can keep up the uploads at least for awhile :D

I hate advertising so this'll be short.

Offering Four Slots of fully colored and cell shaded full bodies for 25USD.

Link For Example: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/34704893/

If these four slots get filled, and you're still interested in claiming one, talk to me and i'm sure we can work something out.

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm officially open for commissions for the first time! I recently updated my prices after a bit of thinking and I'll re-upload the pricing sheet soon, but for now I'll also have this journal up.


The way this works is first ya choose how much content per say you want drawn. The current options and prices are listed below:

Headshot: 3.00USD

Thigh-Up: 4.00USD

Full body: 5.00USD

Additional Characters: 5.00USD per character



After the amount of content is chosen, up next is to what level of completion you wanted the image to be rendered. Options and prices below:

Digital Color: 15.00USD

Marker: 20.00USD

Watercolor: 25.00USD

Lastly I would to mention that there are a few discounts and fees that I have in place as well. Starting with the discounts, I really love working on art that has some IRL significance to you, and so that's the highest discount. Secondly if it's a gift, that also will lower the price a bit(comes in handy with the holidays coming around the corner! Still aways away, but never too late to plan ahead!). As for fees, while I am more or less comfortable with drawing fetish work, it isn't necessarily something that I want to be known for, if that makes sense. Secondly, if something needs to be put on a rush, then that will be pricier since working on those will eat into time outside of office hours, as well as afford me less time to work on projects that are more personal and meaningful to me. There's no exact numbers, since they're more a case-by-case basis, but ask and I'll let you know.

If you are interested in picking up some artwork for yourself or otherwise, sending me a note and talking with me about how much it'll be is absolutely free. With that said, I hope you're having a great day, and I hope to hear from you soon :D

Hello everyone! How are you doing today? It's been awhile since I've been on here, and while I could lie and say that it's because I'm just too busy for art, I know that's not true. Anyways, this post is not to put my terrible upload frequency under the spotlight. No, the reason is because I've started up a group chat on telegram!

Why join the group chat? What's in it for me?

Well for one thing, you'll be able to see a lot more of my art. I've been experimenting a LOT, and I really only want to upload things that I'm proud of onto my official art sites. Because of this, I make lot of sketches and artwork just to test things out, which I have intention of uploading to any art sites. These pieces are still decent in their own right, so instead of letting them go to waste, I figure might as well create a group chat where they can be put up!

But why a group chat? If you want to post art, why not just make it a channel?

Because I genuinely love talking to people. And because the purpose of the chat is to also be able to upload your own artwork if there is something you need help with, or want someone to take a look at. Also, it gives me a chance to chat with you all, or just see what sort of shenanigans we all can get up to!

Is there anything else I should know?

Unfortunately due to me wanting to upload whatever I would like without worrying about who sees it, this chat group will be 18+. It's not that I want it to be specifically for adults and no one else, it's just so that way if I do make a piece, or someone uploads some artwork that can be considered NSFW, it can be uploaded without having to worry about minors being in the chat.

There may be more rules later, but I tend to be easy going. However, that isn't a license to be straight up rude to everyone and expect to enjoy your stay the same as everyone else. Granted, I don't expect anyone reading this to be like that, but I like to put it out there nonetheless :)

with all that said, mind the dust from construction, wipe your paws or feet when you come in, and enjoy your stay!

hell, i just wanted to explain why I've basically fell off the map for awhile. unfortunately, it was a number of things.

first off, school had kicked off, and i really mean KICKED OFF. seriously, now I'm both a college and a high school student, a member of honors society, and a theater tech intern, to name a few of the things that I've dedicated myself to this semester. i also might be working on my art portfolio for when i start college full time. so whenever i get home, it's usually to get started on any homework i didn't get done during lunch.

also, recently i had an illness in the family, and that's been pretty stressful, but luckily it's getting better, the family member in question being scheduled to leave this Tuesday after spending at least three weeks in the hospital.

finally, the trifecta, chores. we've been cleaning the shit out of this house, which s both a good and a bad thing. it's good, because then we can finally use the basement, but it's a bad thing because the other family member who comes by unannounced to "help" us, ends up either causing more work, or more stress on us, usually both.

so yeah, to sum it all up, I've just been too busy to be able to have the free time to do art, and i can't just stay up late every night just to draw, i need my sleep as well. i hope you understand; as far as art goes, until my life becomes a little less hectic, the only times I'll be able to upload anything will be on the weekends, when i have nothing going on. when i do, however, it'll be like this last time, with multiple uploads. although, this doesn't mean that I'll be able to upload every weekend, it's just when i have the time. thanks for reading this far, by the way :)

i'm not sure what else to say, but i'm 18, and i'm interested to see how this year will turn out!

HA HA HA!!!! I'M FREE, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, OH GOD I'M FREE!!! *laughs maniacally*

i'm so unbelievably happy, because SCHOOL IS OVER!! i got summer vacation now, so i'm so excited about it! now i actually have time to take a breath and think about things, and get my life and this website in order(this means actually being able to work on owed art). the reason i haven't posted that much art, is because i had finals and school in general, and i felt like this time that i would place school above any art that i make, regardless of how important it was to get it done.

but the good news is, that i got summer ahead of me, and that means that i got more free time. another good thing about it is that there's a slight chance that i might be able to get a job, and if i can, then that mean i would finally be able to buy art, which is something that i've wanted to do FOREVER.

i got some work i need to do first, before i can do any art, but when i do, I'M BACK(hopefully).

his art is really great, and he's literally only ONE watcher from getting to 700! please go give him a watch, his art is terrific!

hi! i haven't talked for a while, and i was wondering. first, how are you doing? school has been kicking me in the ass, but luckily, SPRING BREAK IS WITHIN SIGHT!!!!!

which brings me to my next question. what do you like to see from me? do you want to to see more sketches, more full colored things? i'm curoius and i would like you to tell me :)

that's all i have for now, since i have to color and work on some things that has been overdue for a MONTH now. bye!

hello! i'm sorry i havn't been posting anything lately, but right now i don't have easy access to internet, so i'm afraid i'm going to have to hold off of uploading much until it's turned back on.

there have been legends and tales of such a quest.... one only the brave of heart and the steel of mind may pass... just kidding, otherwise I wouldn't get through myself

this person right here: persuaded me to try this one out for myself. all you have to do is leave a comment and I will do the following:

1. Tell you what animal/creature you remind me of.
2. Tell you what color I think fits you.
3. Tell you how I feel about you.
4. Insult you.
5. Tell you my favorite OC of yours. (If you have one...)
6. Tell you what season you remind me of.

8. Think of a random nickname for you.
