I'm happy to say after a long time away I'm feeling confident again in taking commissions. I got myself a new tablet and new set up and things have kinda settled down for now. While I am still learning my new tablet it's already feeling nicer to use and I think will help me improve my art over time. I've completed one commission with it already but continue to doodle and draw personal art on it sometimes all day lol. It's been pretty nice.

Long version is last December I left an abusive relationship and that person then decided to trash my apartment and stole a lot of my stuff. I didnt handle this well and a mistake was made which I regret, but I got help for it and am now in a much better place.

I got some of the more expensive things back but even just that took police so everything else was just a write off. I was basically starting over with very little and slowly working to get back to where I was.

I ended up buying a place a few months later and of course a bunch of stuff went wrong and dealing with that plus trying to get back on my feet left very little time or motivation for art and to be honest I fell into a deep depression for most of the year and developed a stomach ulcer from stress.

I won't delve into the specifics of that depression here but it definitely took me out for awhile but after a lot of time to rest and pick myself back up I feel more and more like my old self every day and have made a lot of strides in my personal life to get back to where I was, and that includes art.

I had probably the worst art block I've ever had. Nothing came out looking good and on top of that my computer space area was very cramped and the pc so old it could barely run anymore so even turning it on was stressful. All this just made art feel like a chore instead of a release or hobby.

Truth is I love doing art for people, even porn. To create something and be appreciated for it gives me a lot of pride. And now with my new set up I can get back to that and that feeling of pride and accomplishment will also help me in my personal mental recovery. And the bit of extra money helps me out a lot in my every day life.

Thanks so much for those that stayed watched to me and the few people I let down on some later commissions I just was unable to get to due to the circumstances. They have been repaid but I never wanted to be an artist that didn't come through for people. But luckily those affected were more than kind.

Hopefully you'll see a lot more of me. :3

Hey! I have finished moving (Second time having to move during covid, bleck) But I was still behind on things because I had to replace speakers, monitor and a part in my work computer all pretty much at the same time. Annnnd my dog needs a vet visit X_X
I swear I have the worst luck when it comes to shit breaking. All that put together made art just feel super stressful but now that I have my very own office set up, and everything is working, I just wanna draw. I think a little break helped sort of rekindle my passion for art. But now I feel comfortable taking commissions so feel free to send me a pm if you're interested. As always my prices are listed in this journal

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8154316/

But also feel free to join my telegram group which is basically just me giving updates on what I am doing art wise. Feel free to pop in and out as you please.

Thanks so much. Stay safe and healthy out there!

Heya. So like last year there was some massive leak of some furries caught up in some kind of zoophilia sadism sex ring electric Boogaloo fuckery. Safe to say this was super messed up and affected a lot of people associated with these degenerates who didn't know they were into this. This happened even to myself.

There was a furry who commissioned me a few times that I became acquaintances with that ended up being outed as a zoo sadist. I felt sickened and actually pretty fucking depressed that I ever got money from this person and shared fursuiting pics with but I was also happy that he got outed because anyone into hurting animals deserves it.

I was actually happy to see all these people outed. I really had 0 pity for them and thought the guy who leaked it all was in the right to do so.

But a consequence to this is that feral artists have sort of fallen out of the Fandoms good graces. People started to assume if you were a feral artist that means you automatically must fuck animals and kill them and God knows what else. I too was called a zoo sadist on Twitter a few times just because my bio section says feral fur.
It sucks. It's definitely not fun. It's really shitty to see artists being harassed and accused on Twitter and FA without any actual proof.

I feel like any sane person should know there is a difference between fantasy and reality. And that's not really something that should need to be said. If you have proof of someone being engaged in this horrible acts I actually encourage you to out them or report them or whatever you can do. But if they are literally just some artist on the internet that's drawn a cartoon dog dick for money maybe think about it and what you are actually accusing that individual of.


Anyway. I've been sort of taking a small break from art. I had to move once again. That's moving twice in one year with covid. Definitely not fun lol. I am just settling in my new house now and had to buy a new monitor and I'm just starting to get back into things now and hope to become active here again. It's just been a little hard finding the motivation with so much craziness happening in the world and my own personal life. But honestly I fucking miss art.

Thanks to everyone that's remained subbed to me and has commissioned me in the past.
Peace <333333333

Hiya! Thought I'd make an update and vent a little. So I'm all moved into my new apartment. Thank you so much to those that helped me out, even if it was not financially it was all extremely helpful and got me through it. It was definitely one of the hardest moves I've done just considering the history of my old house and how long I'd been there. It was a rocky road I suppose.

Things did not go quite as smoothly as I would have liked, though. My old landlord is basically fucking me out of a lot of my damage deposit. It's sort of a long story but let's just say she is not taking it because of actual damage. I do have the option to take her to small claims court and a lawyer did tell me I had a good case against her... But I'm not sure if I want to put myself through that. Either way I have up to two years to actually do it so we will see how that goes. I doubt this is really that surprising to most people, landlords are very greedy and predatory. They will think of anything to take from you.

And of course. OF COURSE I had a surprise vet bill. Why do animals always seem to get sick at the worst of times? Luckily my vet allowed me to do a payment plan type thing so I was able to get my kitty the treatment he needed without going bankrupt. Hooray.

It's not all financial issues, though. My boyfriend left so now it's just me, my dog, cat and snake so thats been a hard adjustment. Luckily I'm fairly good on my own and I've had a lot to keep me busy so I'm just sort of doing my thing and getting life together again. It's all you can do.

On the bright side the sick feeling I was dealing with does not seem to have been Corona, though I'm still isolating myself as much as possible. And I love my new apartment. I'm still a bit cluttered up with boxes and what not and I need to purchase some new furniture when I'm able to but I quite like it here. It definitely has a better energy than my previous place.

So at the moment I am open for commissions on a slightly longer expected wait time. I need to complete a couple I put on hold during the moving process and due to having not drawn in awhile I'll need to get back into the swing of things. When you dont draw for awhile suddenly your brain and hand is very out of sync.

Thanks so much again to those that helped me get through this. Both irl and online. I'm very, very grateful. (:

So I just wanted to give a heads up to people waiting on commissions from me that I'm a little under the weather and so am self quarantining as much as possible but I also have to move soon. It's an extremely stressful time right now and I find it hard to find time to sit down and work on art. Rest assured I will get it all done, it may just take a little longer than usual. I appreciate your understanding and I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

- Vail

Okay, but not so much now.

So I haven't been as active as I used to be, and even turned down a few commissions in the last few months because I knew I just couldn't rely on myself to get them done.

Everyone goes through hardships in their lives and I don't want that to be my excuse as to why I don't get things done. But there was definitely a period of time in which I just could not take care of myself, let alone be responsible enough to take people's money and give them back something in return, so I didn't.
Basically what happened was I went through a terrible break up on Christmas. I don't want to go slinging mud at those involved but let's just say I was burned and I was burned hard.
Four years just gone and I completely lost myself, my identity and what I thought was going to be my life. I ended up having to go stay with my parents for weeks because I could not do anything for myself. I was a real mess.

Fast forward to today and things are a lot better. In some ways this experience has sort of kicked me in the ass and showed me I had to get some things done, and I really needed to take care of myself. I'd say for a few months prior to this event I was in a deep depression, felt anxious and anti social, even leaving the house was too much for me most of the time. But now I have started on a new medication plan and I feel a lot better, I'm sleeping better and my anxiety and depression are under control. I have a new roommate who I actually enjoy living with which is a new thing because roommates in the past have always been a pain in the ass. But I am enjoying their company.

I think the biggest help I've gotten from is from  Thylus though.
This guy didn't know me much, his only interaction from me prior to Christmas was buying porn from me but for whatever reason he decided to say 'Merry Christmas' to me on Christmas and in my state I absolutely clung to him as the first person to reach out. It's sort of embarrassing now but he allowed me to vent and offered the support I needed at the time.

Flash forward to today and we have met twice with him coming to see me again in May. We bonded through a sort of mutual experience we had with people we thought we could trust and could not. He is an amazing person and I am so lucky to have him in my life and at my side. He has no reason to help me as much as he does but he does anyway and had without me ever asking him at all. He is the kindest man I've ever met and I'm so grateful for him to be in my life today. He also has a lot of porn in his gallery so if you're into that go check him out. owo

But yeah, that's kinda the update of my life these last few months. I am taking commissions but only limited slots because I'm just not as fast as I once was. I am looking forward to the future though and have gotten the spark back to draw again. It feels great honestly, art has always been a vent for me, a passion and never felt like a chore. I even enjoy drawing porn quite honestly lol. But yeh, sort of just taking it slow and learning how to live again.

Thanks for reading and still being watched to me. I appreciate it so very much. (:

- Vail

I feel confident enough in my art and myself again to start taking commissions again, which I have already started. I am so thankful for those that have returned to commission me even after my long absence, it truly means so much to me.

On another note, since I uploaded a picture of my fursona in a ridiculously toony style a few people have come to me to say how much they like it, and asked how much they would be to commission. So, I made them an official commission type to choose from. I am calling them 'Toony bois'
They're pretty cheap, as I am new to this style, but I love doing them. They're super cute! If you're interested you can check out the example in my commission information.

Hello! Vailwolf here! I've been asked by a few people recently if I am still alive, well, I am. I had to take a break from art due to computer and health issues and just needing a break. I am still dealing with some of those health issues but I am loads better than where I was a few months ago. I feel well enough to start getting back into things, though probably holding off on commissions for now. I appreciate anyone who has remained subbed to me and will continue supporting my art, whether it be commissions or just by viewing. I appreciate your kindness and generosity.

On another note a good friend of mine has recently joined FA and is looking to start growing her own feral gallery and taking commissions. We are in talks about starting collabs and YCHs together. She is wonderfully talented and will make some great pronz I am sure. If you are interested please check out her very new FA and give her a watch. (It's pretty empty at the time of writing this but trust me, she's good)

Thanks again and I hope to weasel my way back into the feral community here on FA. :3

How much do commissions cost?

Prices of commissions depend on what you want. But generally a full body SFW depiction of your character runs at $60 and $70 for NSFW. An extra fee will be required for additional characters added to the picture.
Please take a look at my Commission Info Page For some examples.
Please note an added charge may be required if the character is extremely complex

Tips are not required but absolutely always accepted and greatly appreciated! <3

If you would like a HD (Not resized) version of your commission or YCH please tell me beforehand, I usually delete the HD copy if not asked for.

As always feel free to PM with any questions or ideas you might have!


How does payment work?

The only method of payment I accept is Paypal.
I will show a rough sketch of your commission and will finish it after payment is received.

I don't like something on my commission, can you change it?

I absolutely do my best to make sure everyone is happy with their commission. If I show you the sketch and there's something you do not like please be upfront about it and tell me, you will never hurt my feelings! I do not care how long it takes, I will always go back and fix it to the best of my abilities. If you do not say anything until the final product is finished and flattened there's very little I can do about it. However, if it's a minor change needed I will go back into the editable file and fix it free of charge.

Do I need a reference to commission you?

Having examples or a reference is definitely preferred, however I have successfully done commissions on nothing more than a description.
All I ask is that if you do not have a reference you'll need to be reasonable about my abilities to interpret what you are envisioning.

How long do commissions take?
I ask for two weeks but generally it will take me less than a week. If there is anything holding me up, or you are in a line up, I will be sure to tell you.

How can I get in contact with you?
You can always contact me right here on FA however I find talking and sending commissions through Telegram is very convenient. My name on there is Vailwolf, feel free to search me up to inquire about a commission or just to say hi!

Do you do free art or art trades?
As much as I would love to give everyone free art if I said yes to this I would never have time for commissions... And I need those to live. :P
I do love to do art trades and will do that when not busy with commissions. So, if you're interested in that, please let me know!

After I purchase and receive my commissions are there any re upload rules?
Not really, no. You can post it on other sites or print it or do anything you want with it. All I ask is that credit is given back to me at this page and my watermark is not removed. Thank you :3

The nope list

These are some things I wont accept doing just due to the fact I have no interest or am not comfortable doing.

NSFW Human x Animal
Scat
Hardcore Gore
Diapers and or under aged anthros (SFW Puppies or something like that is okay.)
Neuter porn
Hateful art towards other furries
Political associations


I reserve the right to deny any other commissions not listed here... But I'm generally pretty open minded.

I ask that you please do not remove my signature and or watermark from any art I make for you or otherwise, but feel free to post it anywhere you want.

Thank you so much to everyone that has commissioned me! You have no idea how much your support means to me and how much it helps me out financially. :'3

I feel confident in my tablet abilities enough to take a few commissions, need a bit of extra money for Christmas. Hit me up if interested c:

I've not been able to complete any art lately and it's killing me. I got myself a great tablet but the problem is I cant figure out how to get it to work in pretty much every art program. I tried SAI And Photoshop and even went crawling back to Gimp where it wont work. It's doing the same sort of things in every program so I know it's the tablet and not the problems.
I've never used a tablet before let alone a huion tablet and I've honestly run out of ideas on how to fix it. I don't know if the drivers got fucked up or something, I just don't know.

If anyone has experience with these tablets, or just is really smart with this sort of computer stuff, please hit me up on Telegram. My name is Vailwolf on it. I'd really appreciate the help so I can get back into art again. :(

So I haven't uploaded anything in awhile pretty much for the reason I have not been able to complete anything xD
I finally got a new tablet... It's a very good tablet. However the learning curve for it is quite steep, probably steeper than I first anticipated. I am practicing with it and with new art problems. For the longest time I used Gimp and I absolutely HATE gimp, but it was all my computer could handle. My new computers can now handle Photoshop so that is what I am currently working with. :)

That being said I doubt I'll be comfortable taking commissions again for awhile, my skill with this thing is just not good enough yet. So I'll be focusing on my own personal art for awhile, any commissions I get will be completed using my old method of digital art but I wont be actively looking for any right now.

Just wanted to come out and say I'm not dead or anything... Just practicing a lot! x3

I'm in a drawing mood lately but I get bored drawing my own characters all the time. If anyone wants to do some feral art trades let me know! c:

I've kinda been taking a break from commissions but my ex roommate decide up and leave in the middle of the summer (always make them sign a lease even if you are friends) and I'm looking to make some extra cash to help myself get through the summer to when things will hopefully become more stable.

My prices are listed on my commission info but honestly everything
Is really negotiable.

Thanks so much :3

My Dinosaur laptop has finally keeled over. It was only a matter of time. Luckily I'll be able to back everything up and transfer it.
I'm hoping to get a new one within a month but until then I'll be on a bit of a break. Probably something I need anyway.

Be back later. ^.^

I never used to draw a lot of porn, but I've come to realize sex sells, very well!
I initially starting being more accepting of any commissions when my cat became sick. I needed extra money for his treatment and I got it. Unfortunately it did not save him but through commissions I was able to at least try.
I've gotten the taste of moderate success, I make a decent amount of money a month through commissions... Most of which is through porn. I have a collaboration partner now, I've learned things, I believe I've improved as an artist as well... But I asked myself today if it were worth it when my morality as a human being was questioned.

The short answer to this is yes, yes it is.

I am an artist. I am not here to judge you. I am here to provide a service, same as any other service. I am here to make some extra money, to support myself, to support my family. Is it the most noblest of means? Nah, of course not. But when did I ever claim to be noble?
I am not hurting anyone in what I do. In the end everything I draw is merely lines on a computer screen. I may not agree with every subject matter as a reality but this is not reality, it's the Internet. It comes back to what I said before, I am not here to judge.

Truth be told I still enjoy drawing for other people, I always have even before I started doing commissions. I get a bit of a rush when someone appreciates something I have created... I appreciate anyone's business. If you choose to give it to me I try my best to please you, whether it be a porn commission or not, I always do my best.

I'd like to thank anyone that has commissioned me or will commission me in the future. I truly do appreciate it, it helps me out a lot. Thank you very much. :)

- Vail

In order to pay for my cats treatment, and some other things, I am reducing the price of my commissions. Please take a look if you are interested. Thanks!

Click for commission information :3

My cat is very sick, something wrong with his liver. The vet says it is either one thing, which is curable, or something else that is incurable and will kill him... If treatment does not work within 7-10 days I will know it is FIP and can not be cured. I'd like to thank those that have been commissioning me because all of that money is paying for his treatment. I'm very appreciative. I'm hopeful for a positive outcome to all of this.

Thank you <3

For any fellow Canadians out there today is the 2015 federal election. I never understood why so many people are disinterested in politics, I find it very exciting. Especially since there's a reasonable chance to get that Tory bastard out of office ;3 Even if you lean conservative go vote because it's your country too! (Don't vote conservative though ;3 )

It's going to take some work to get everything I had back on my old account but I feel better here. This is my name and it annoyed me more than it should that someone stole it just to mess with me.

I apologize in advance to watchers and everyone on FA for the post dump I'm going to be making here soon.
