Important announcement time!

I have finally decided to get my act together by matching my gallery and social media profiles under one consistent name, "SlyAsAFoxibou"

Despite the uphill battle it represents I've begun the process of migrating accounts on FurAffinity. I am hoping that this will make it easier in the long run for people to find my work on any platform. Please, if you would like to continue to support my work, go check out the new account and follow me there! I'll still be posting on both for a while but I'm strongly encouraging folks to come follow me on the new account.

I truly appreciate my followers and it always warms my heart to know that people enjoy the things I make. I hope you all will continue to support me as I make this transition so I can get the new account off to a smooth start!

I don't post journals nearly enough but I figured it was time for a little post about how things have been going for me in the past year and a half or so since my last journal.

Transition has been going well, I'm finally not really at a point where I have to worry about being misgendered anymore. Still a lot of things I'm excited about in the future, if I can manage all the things reality has thrown at all of us these last 6 months or so. Transition itself has been such a tremendous change (as well as turmoil on some days) that my focus for art really took a hit from where I stood mid 2018 when I was at my most active. For all the happiness that I feel when I see myself now, there are still many growing pains both physical and emotional that no one can prepare you for. I try to take it day by day and I could never do it without my constant companion and the love of my life  boxerbunny I guess, all in all, things are good despite my worries about the state of equality, disease, and impending climate catastrophe. I'm aiming at going back to school to do something about that last issue. Looking to get a shiny new masters degree in sustainability and/or climate issues. I haven't really made mention of it here before but I have a background in biology and have worked as an agrotech doing entomological research in the past and I'm currently in neuroscience as a lab tech. I'd like to put my mind to use fixing some of the bs threatening our lives if I can be of use.

In the meantime though, there's art, and more free time than I've had in maybe my whole life. I feel like that's pretty normal for most people lately.

With that time has come a lot of time for finding my inspiration and motivation for art again. I burned myself out going so hard 2016-2018 with my art that I had very little patience, confidence, or motivation left to really function as a professional or sometimes even as a hobbiest. Things feel different now though, I sense a real outlet for my frustrations in pursuing art again and you'll be seeing a lot more content from this page as well as the more personal side of me for those who use twitter.

Expect to see a journal opening commissions soon and a raffle on my sfw twitter. ;3

Peace,
Sly

Hey fluffos,

First I wanna say thanks to all the new watchers over the past few months, knowing what I'm doing is appreciated has been a great source of motivation and you all are the best. <3

SO...news in my life, I poked myself in the eye with a hair comb about three weeks ago and I've had double vision in one eye since it happened. I spiraled into a bit of a depression thinking it might not get better and I'd be unable to do art again. Guess the universe was telling me to slow down, as we all probably should sometimes. Watch out for combs, they're dangerous in the wrong hands.

Since then I've been to doctors appointments and they seem to think it will improve, but a lot slower than they had anticipated. However, its fortunately not so bad now that I can't still get back to art, which should be on the way again soon. I'm incredibly refreshed from my break and eager to get back to it.

I've also been selected to work in a huge collaboration that currently I cannot say much about yet but more details will be on the way in the future. Get excited, I know I am. :3

Last thing I should probably say is that I'm not gonna be accepting commissions for awhile until I'm completely healed. Instead I'll be doing personal work and building up stuff for a portfolio as well as doing more sexy pieces because I can't resist. For those that are already in my queue I will get back to work and finish your art as soon as possible.

Thats it for now! ^w^

The past month and half of my life has been such a blur and its been a wonderful blur to be completely honest. I went to my first fur convention which was conveniently 15 minutes from my house and met a ton of wonderful people. That weekend changed me in ways I never expected.

I've always been kind of in denial about a lot of things in my life, but I've realized that this community means way more to me than anything else in my life. The openness, kindness, creativity, and imagination of everyone I have met just gives me assurance that what I'm doing now is the right thing for myself. Its nice to feel like you have truly found kindred spirits after spending so much time bouncing around from friend group to friend group, never feeling like its quite right, and hiding the things that truly make you you.

What all of this means, is that even though I have a perfectly good life making decent money in a regular job, is that one day I want this to be more than a hobby. I want to be doing art all the time and supporting the creative ideas of the awesome people in the fandom. :3

I have such big plans for what I want to do with my art and my life and I feel so excited if not a little impatient to get it all under way. Got some fun fan art crossover ideas as well as trying to come up with a more cohesive world with a personal cast of characters to try to write my own stories and hopefully a comic if I like the idea enough. I don't have a commission sheet made yet but it is in the works and I would like to open up commissions with a tentative list of prices until I can get something more official worked out.

So here it is:
Head shot sketches: 2$...........(+2 for lineart, +3 for color, +5 for shades)
Half body sketch: 5$................(+3 for lineart, +4 for color, +6 for shades)
Full body sketch: 8$.................(+4 for lineart, +6 for color, +8 for shades)
Reference Sheet: 40$..............(+3 for each focused detail)
Basic background: 2$
Full color background: 8$

NSFW is fine (and preferred <3). If you want more than one character interacting I will consider it two full body sketches so the price will be doubled. If you want to commission me just send an email with the type of piece you would like and references to reyyl15@gmail.com.

I hope that what I do can find an audience in the coming weeks as I continue to update and draw draw draw. To all of you that have supported me thus far, I truly appreciate it. Whenever I lose faith in my abilities, knowing there are people that believe in me gives me confidence and peace.

No really, I never post journals.

Life's good, out of school, making okay money in a normal job, got some more free time for drawing, considering pursuing animation because I hate the grind of being a research scientist. Thats really all you need to know until I figure out how to become a regular poster and maybe build some clientele. Thanks for all of you that watch me and I've promised to myself that this account won't ever be quite as inactive as I've let it become ever again.

I keep getting this annoying feeling that I should really be doing more with my life by now. I keep hearing about friends who graduated from school at the same time as me already getting jobs and moving on while I'm kinda stuck in neutral living in the extra room at my sister's house just waiting for life to happen. I keep trying to get things going: job hunts, failed relationships, trying to make a little money with my free time as an artist just to share a little bit of creativity with the world. No matter what I try it goes nowhere, I'm just stuck here in my room typing things out for a deaf internet on which I have very little control. I try to get attention with art that's as good as I can possibly make right now and it seems like there's just so little interest. My thanks goes out to all my friends who keep encouraging me to continue trying to get a business going with my art but its starting to get a little painful. I draw because I enjoy it, but when I put pressure on myself for it to be a source of minimal income while I look for a real job robs it of the joy that its supposed to bring me. Would probably feel okay if I could just gauge if there's even any interest to begin with, then the pressure wouldn't matter.

I'm just really tired and maybe a little impatient. I could use a little bit of luck or a divine push. Anything would help...really. I don't want to feel this way by the time its February. I'm tired of feeling depressed and lost and anxious, casting my line in every direction I can see just in hopes that ANYTHING will happen. Hell all of those emotions are so normal now I don't even really feel them anymore, they're burned in.

A long hug would be really nice right now.

~Sly
