If you ever have an issue with a commission you got from me
Posted 13 years agoLet me know. I will do my best to fix any technical issues. Whether you think I botched anatomy or the shading is off, I want to do my best but it's not always easy to see issues while working on a piece.
If you can catch the issue before I finish the piece, even better.
However I will only fix content issues if you explicitly told me about it before hand. I will not add or change things afterwards just because you changed your mind and thought of something better.
(On occasion I might do discount art. If I do you will have to pay an upgrade to the full commission price to get fixes after completion.)

What resolution do you prefer commissions in?
Posted 13 years agoWhat the title asks.
Is there a minimum file resolution you want a commission done in? Would you be willing to buy lower resolution commissions for a lower price? Is there a max res.?
My commissions are roughly 2400x3500 (A4@300DPI) for reference.
--
As a heads up, I'll be raising my commission prices soon.

Trades (Info)
Posted 14 years agoI am changing my trading rules. While I wish I could be as flexible with them as I used to, I have less free time these days and so need to change some things.
While skill level isn't that important to me, I do ask for timeliness on your part. In most cases I will ask you to do your half first. If desired, we can negotiate on it, maybe only requiring a sketch from you before I get started on my half. Or, if I've worked with you before or trust you to finish, I may waive that part entirely and just do my half first. I don't mean to offend anybody with this rule but it's here to protect myself after some issues.
Regarding story trades for art, only if it's a short piece for a quick sketch. I would much rather get art for art.
I don't currently trade for music or other audio, but if you really want to we might be able to work something out.
As a side note I am open to doing collaborations.
Interested? Just send me a note, and be sure to include:
- References: I can work from descriptions if need be, but a good reference makes it all the easier.
- Rating (G,R,X): Give me one, or a range and let me decide
- What you want: If you do not ask for a particular situation for your character(s) and I choose to do it, I will not do research into your likes and dislikes. Instead, I will do whatever I want to your character.
Things I will outright not do:
- Rape
- Scat/Watersports
- Commercial Characters
Don't forget:
- Read the instructions
- Be polite
- Try to have fun

The Great Thing About Having a Giant Cock...
Posted 14 years agoDespite the silly title, this is going to be a somewhat serious writing. If you're uncomfortable reading about penises or their sizes, I suggest not reading on any further.This is mostly a few thoughts that have been rattling around in my head that I've decided to finally get on "paper" as it were.
To start, I like big penises. I've like big boobs even longer. I've always been a fan of big things, since I first learned about said things. I was actually a furry before I discovered I liked porn or knew what an erection was. And to clarify, I'd still be into giant wangs and tits even if the fandom didn't exist. It's just another outlet for my early 20s male sex drive.
But even before I realized I was into anthro males, I was into human shemales, mostly of the drawn variety. And that's when I first started liking big penises. The thing is, it's just one of those random turn-ons you can't really explain. A recent study ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-A8GvUehq4 ) shows that straight men predominantly like porn of shemales and big dicks. So it's not that rare of a thing, and it turns out I'm more straight than I thought.
Buuuut moving on to the main point of this journal. A lot of men feel bad about their penis size. I have, too. But I've come to realize that having a really big dick is more useful for when you're alone than when you have sex. From the informal statistics I've gathered, the average depth of a woman's vagina is around, or slightly bigger than, the average size of a man's penis (Somewhere between 5" and 6" last I heard).
So, logically speaking, if you have an average sized or smaller penis, you can fit into more women. If you have a larger than average sized penis, you cannot fit into as many women (or men, for that matter, but that's another article I think). If you have a huge cock, like one of the biggest that any human has, you might not be able to fit inside any woman. Obviously there is no evolutionary advantage to a big penis.
But for some reason, one possibility being society and culture propagating some made up myth that "Bigger is always better. Always.", men still have anxiety about their dick size. I'm perfectly happy with my size when I think about it from a logical point of view. But emotionally, there's always that nagging feeling that it's not adequate enough.
Yeah, for some reason I'd like a bigger penis, but there's no logical reason to want one, unless I've resigned myself to the fact I'll probably never get laid again. Then having a big penis would be pretty good. I've noticed it from my stories, hyper is easy to write about from a solo point of view. You can slobber all over yourself and suck yourself dry all you want if you have a cock long enough to reach your mouth. It's be a pretty awesome thing. Even just having it pressed between your chest and e.g. a bed, it'd provide a lot of sensitive surface area, and if lubed up, would feel pretty darn good, in my imagination at least.
But again, it'd not fit in a woman and even just a big, not hyper cock would have issues. It's quite instinctive when having sex to push yourself in all the way. It feels better. But if you're cock's too long, you can't do that, and you'll keep hitting her cervix which will be painful for her.
So it seems to me a man should be happy if he has a mostly average sized penis. Yet most men still want a bigger one. I'll end this with a little anecdote: Someone posted a journal once asking about cock size. Nearly everyone posted that they had a 9" penis. Months later I come across an XKCD comic strip that confirmed my observation. 9" is a popular penis size to have on the Internet. If you were 6" and embellished to 9", that's 3" extra! If you ever met someone, they'd notice the difference. But most seem to think it sounds nice and big without being "unbelievable".
Personally, I'll continue to doubt what most people post, and be fine with a penis that isn't 9" long. In my opinion, there are too many awesome things in life to get hung up on how hung you are.
Yet Another FC Review + Stuff
Posted 14 years agoNon-Convention Stuff:
* I have a trade to do with
VulpesVoluntarium.
* I have a commission to do for
SirKain.
* I have a collaboration with
Sylex to finish.
* I am open for commissions (see header).
* Back to work tomorrow!
Unfortunately I missed all of the awesome Friday stuff because I had to work. Nyeh.
Saturday was alright. Post registration (which took a while), I went to the Dealers Den (which really could have used better ventilation... guh.) I went to the Art Show, which was nice. Saw the fursuit parade. All 20 minutes of it. @_@ (I wanted to hug ALL OF THEM!) Saw some of the Ebel concert (too loud and the vocals were too quiet compared to the instruments to enjoy it fully, but it was fun). Watched a panel on inking (Sans projector, which made it hard to see). Met
BadgerBen while hanging out in the Creators Lounge (which was too small).
Sunday was the best, between the voice auctions (Dusty Katt was awesome. Look him up on YouTube :3c), FC: Unleashed, and the My Little Pony event, which was more awesome than I thought it would be. I put a bid on a piece by Ashtoreth, who may or may not be
DarkAldebaran? Anyway, somehow no one else bid and now I have a painting I have no clue what to do with. I like it, it's just not... appropriate for most people. Also picked up a sketch from
Gideon which I'll scan and post.
Monday, I just sort of hung out in the Creators Lounge until we got kicked out. Theeeen I wandered a bit, met up with
BadgerBen who I did a sketch trade with, which I will also post. I think he deserved more, but he seemed to like my half. :3 Then I went to the Q&A & Comments section. After that I came back home, went shopping, and now I am here typing this up.
Also, I was unfortunately unable to find Nauv or Crys, but I did meet a fan. Odd to think I have fans. Got a few hugs, too. I was complemented on my boots! ^_^ Someone told me I'm cute. D:
AND NO, no orgies were had. Shush.
Also also, BLOOP!

Writing off old commissions I never got
Posted 14 years agoSo yeah, there are some artists that just don't seem like they're going to finish things. I'm writing them off as a sunk cost at this point. As much as I'd like the art I'd rather do this and not have these things lingering in my mind.
So yeah... if I get something it's a pleasant surprise. On the other hand I'll never commission those people again.

Roleplaying
Posted 14 years agoI've had a few inquiries about it lately, so I figured I'd post a journal about it.
I will role-play chat, both clean and sexual. However, I do not tend to seek out people to role-play with. I am rarely ever in the mood where I really want to role-play. Generally what I do is hang out in chat rooms that interest me and either someone will start something that I'll be interested in, or rarely I'll attempt to start something with someone who is active.
But I need some social foreplay.
I don't randomly go "murr yiff me nao *hump hump hump*". I've seen shit like that. Then they get disappointed when no one is all that interested in them. If you don't want to hang out in chat rooms with me, it'll be a lot harder to RP with me as chances are the time you ask me to RP will not line up with when I am interested, even if the times were are both interested in RPing overlap at some point.
Simply IMing me and going "Want to RP?" will almost never work. See the lone sentence above.
As for where I hang out, I'm usually on FurNet in a variety of channels, and go by the nick of "Webster". If you check my art regularly you can probably guess the channels I hang out in.
I'm also on F-List but I don't generally hang out in the chat all too often at the moment.
My public IM address is available in my profile if you need to get in touch with me, but again I don't usually start RPs through IMs. And don't ever dare add me then later go "Who are you?"

SirKainDream Journal 7
Posted 14 years agoI had a few odd ones, but the only one I remember clearly was that I had gotten art from
Sciggles. It was a bunch of my characters in a forest setting. I only distinctly remember Bob, though. There was like, two left mid, one or two left front, two or three right mid. Just kind of hanging out or something.
THEN later I had another dream which involved watching someone draw art (in a video stream) but it wasn't anyone specific. Was a white wolf or somesuch. Which all of a sudden had really big boobs right before I woke up.
AND... as a reminder, art contest! Win up to $60. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2682197/

Non-secure password prompt on Account Settings page

New way of doing free art
Posted 14 years agoBIG STONKING EDIT1) I ONLY DO STRAIGHT-UP REQUESTS DURING REQUEST STREAMS.
2) Do not ask when a request stream will be. They are random, and will be announced when decided upon..
HOWEVER:
3) Sometimes I do random art that requires an extra character or two. If you would like, you can volunteer your character(s) to be used in these pieces. You get NO say in the piece.
4) To volunteer a character, leave a post with the following:
Character name:
Reference image:
Personality:
Sexual orientation [Straight, bi, gay, etc]:
Allowed to use in sexual pieces (yes/no):
5) To volunteer multiple characters, fill out the form for each character. There can be multiple form submissions in a single post.
Idea... (NSFW)

Dream Journal 6
Posted 14 years agoSo I'm in this parking lot that's completely full but since some event ended everyone's pulling out. Then all of a sudden I'm standing in front of the store with a shopping cart, we (me and some guy that sorta looks like JonRom) go in. I wait for him at the entrance, start recoloring something (somehow doing art with my brain? I don't know). I see a guy that looks exactly like him come back, turns out it wasn't the guy I was with. Walk around. Some guy pulls out my name tag from my polo that I'm now wearing to get my name to thank me for letting him take a photo. He talks to someone else "Yeah that's the guy..." I keep walking. This is like... the biggest freakin' book store ever, too.
I get some sort of phone call without picking up my phone? I dunno. Some guy's talking to me. Saying to look down four floors, but that's below what I can see in this atrium. He's like "Just wait a sec. You'll see some guy running from someone yelling 'Stop, this is TSA security!'" and he runs by the bottom floor. I find a stairwell and go down a few floors. Meet up with him, we run back up, I throw a stone at big glass windows in the floor of the stairwell (labeled as emergency exits in that red paint?) trying to break them, we get to the top floor, go out into this hallway, and enter this room that's like some private spy/hero (non-costumed type) meeting. There's something on the wall from a projector. We just kind of quietly enter. I grab a chair and sit down. Something's mentioned about not being able to track, hurricanes, things... then I wake up.

Dream Journal 5 - Card game
Posted 14 years agoI had two this time. One of which involved the bus system and some amalgamation of where I currently live and where I grew up. Very weird.
The second, though, involved a card game I was playing with two artists:
adiago and
kumbartha. Now, I've never met them in real life before, and I don't recall what they look liked in the dream, if anything. I just knew who they were thanks to dream logic. So we were playing this card game that I didn't know before, but learned in the dream. It wasn't complete, but I think it could be turned into a fun little game. It went something like this:
You get dealt cards with things written on them. You have a set amount of time to get the person after you to guess what it is without saying the word (sort of like Taboo). Then if they guess, you have to draw what's on the card (Or you draw what's on the card up until they guess... dunno) and give it to them. And this must of been the future, 'cause there was a card that kept time.
In the dream, I did it once with Adiago to figure out, then Kumbartha joined in and we started playing a proper game of it. Then Kumbartha's turn started and since I was next he asked me, and I guessed it (Hint: Red hole of death, Answer: Hell). Then shortly afterwards I woke up.
There was also supposedly some point system and some way to make sure you had a chance to draw for everyone, not just the person next to you, but I don't really know what it was. However, if anyone wants to help develop this game, that'd be pretty cool.

It went something like this:You get dealt cards with things written on them. You have a set amount of time to get the person after you to guess what it is without saying the word (sort of like Taboo). Then if they guess, you have to draw what's on the card (Or you draw what's on the card up until they guess... dunno) and give it to them. And this must of been the future, 'cause there was a card that kept time.
In the dream, I did it once with Adiago to figure out, then Kumbartha joined in and we started playing a proper game of it. Then Kumbartha's turn started and since I was next he asked me, and I guessed it (Hint: Red hole of death, Answer: Hell). Then shortly afterwards I woke up.
There was also supposedly some point system and some way to make sure you had a chance to draw for everyone, not just the person next to you, but I don't really know what it was. However, if anyone wants to help develop this game, that'd be pretty cool.
Dream Journal 4
Posted 15 years agoSo today I woke up, then fell back asleep. Just before I woke up again I had a dream in which some oldish guy from a religious cult tried escaping. I grabbed keys for the door I left through, but I had to unscrew a window screen using a spoon, and before I got in, he started sneaking around back with some other guy, both in black cloaks (in daylight at that...) and I ran after him. Kicked him on the ground and said something about it ending here, and they're like "Oh yeah?" and some third guy comes up from behind. So now all three are in front of me, and BTW I'm a naked anthro tiger (i.e. my character - OMG! First time that's happened) and the third guy aims low (meany) but I block, and I keep trying to stab him with the key each time he tries to hit, and eventually I stab it into his jugular vein and he collapses to the ground dead and they're like "oh shit" and then I do that Neo in The Matrix leg-out-kick coming back around thing, but I was also waking up at that point so I kicked my leg in real life too. The end.
Cleaned out my favorites. :C
Posted 15 years agoIt's sorta sad when an artist deletes a picture from their gallery that you commissioned. I know it's wrong to think about it this way, but you get the idea in your head that "Yeah, that piece you paid for? It was crap. Ha ha!" But I guess people improve.
Sexual Identity
Posted 15 years ago[Long brain dump]As currently understood, sexual identity breaks down into four main components:
Sex, Sexuality, Gender Identity, Gender Expression
Sex is what you physically are, while gender identity is what you feel you are. Usually sex and gender identity align. In other words, most people that are born male feel comfortable being male, and most people that are born female feel comfortable being female. However, this is not always the case. One of the more common stories is that a male feels emotionally that he is female. Sometimes such a male will seek to undergo surgery and hormone therapy to physically change his body to fit his female mind. Similarly, there are females that feel that they are males, and may also want to undergo sex change therapy.
In addition to all of this, there are people that feel they are neither male or female. So while their sex is that of male or female, their gender identity is that of something in-between. This is called being either intergendered (between genders) or gender-queer (unusual gender). Currently, society seems to generally be tolerant of those that wish to switch genders. The gender binary – the idea that someone is either male or female – is simple to understand. Yet very little discussion has occurred about those that want to be something in-between. Whether this is due to the additional complexity of it making discussion hard to understand, or simply due to cultural norms imposing a mindset where the gender binary is held as something to be assumed, is unknown.
Sexuality is what a person is sexually attracted to. Common words used to describe sexuality are straight, gay, lesbian, and bisexual. A man that is sexually attracted to other men is considered to be gay. Similarly, a woman that is sexually attracted to other women are lesbian. A person that is sexually attracted to both men and women is bisexual. However, there is an over-emphasis on associating with a predefined sexuality. If a man has sex with another man, it is assumed he is gay. However, it may be that this man is straight, but secure enough in his sexuality that even though he is not sexually attracted to men, is willing to have sex with them simply because it feels good. This does not make him bisexual, either. According to the definitions set forth, since he is not sexually attracted to men, he is not bisexual, only straight. Blurring the lines even further is when a person is sexually attracted to the opposite sex, as well as the same sex, but the person’s attraction is heavily skewed to those of the opposite sex. For example, if a man is sexually attracted to women, but also attracted to small number of men, he may seem straight. However, he also may not be considered bisexual, since most men he is not sexually attracted to. Due to human nature, no person is sexually attracted to all members of the opposite sex. Does that mean no one is straight? If so, that also means no one is gay or bisexual. Due to this, it can be reasoned that the current terminology is insufficient to label people, and may be causing more harm than good.
Gender expression is the last piece of sexual identity. Gender expression is the way one expresses themselves in regards to their gender identity. In some cases, people make known their sexuality in ways they express themselves. An easy way to understand this is through stereotypes. For example, there is the stereotype that gay men are effeminate, speak with lisps, prefer pink and are sexually promiscuous. If a gay man is like that all his life, then that is simply how he is. However, some men, when they realize they are gay, change their lifestyle to fit the stereotype. It is unknown why exactly they do this, though some reasons can be postulated. On the other hand, though, there are gay men that act like the stereotypical male: they drink beer, work out, play sports and go hunting. Some look for other men that are also like that. Obviously, the sexuality of a person does not need to influence how they express themselves. If a man likes sports, whether or not he is gay is irrelevant.
Despite all of that, that brings up the issue of expressing sexuality versus expressing gender. Gender expression is specifically understood as the latter. That is, for example, if a man feels he is a woman, he can choose to express that by wearing clothing, styling his hair, and performing functions that are typically feminine. However, if he does feel he is a woman, he doesn’t have to do any of that either. He can simply express himself in the way he is comfortable. There are women that dress in clothing that is typically worn by men. This theoretical person could feel he is a woman that would dress in those clothes, simply because that’s his personality. He may however prefer to wear fake breasts to express that gender identity. All of this, however, is separate from his sexuality. This is where the most confusion comes in, in that acting a certain way does not relate one way or another to sexuality. The fear of homosexuality seems to stem from the believe that being a certain sexuality means you have to act in the so-called normal way for that sexuality. It threatens their way of life if it turns out their sexuality is different from what they thought it was. What needs to be understood is that sexuality does not influence your behaviors at all unless you let it.
A person’s sexuality is simply what it is. A person’s behavior is what it is. A person’s gender identity is what it is. You can choose to express yourself in a multitude of ways. Whether or not you want to let your sexual identity influence your expression is up to you. Due to this, sexual identity should really be modified. Instead of the definition at the beginning, it should look something like this:
Sexual identity is composed of Sex, Sexuality, and Gender.
Then you can express yourself by including all three aspects of sexual identity:
Sexual Expression, Sexuality Expression, and Gender Expression.
However, how much each of those three aspects of your life influence you when choosing to express yourself is up to you. In the end, this winds up forming two points:
1) While your sexual identity is not something you choose, how you express yourself based upon it is consciously chosen.
2) While sexual identity can be broken down into three major aspects, where you fall on the spectrum of these aspects does not necessarily have to conform to any binary conceived by society.
Humans are inherently different from each other. While you may not be special, you are unique. Everyone grows up in a unique set up circumstances that influences them. Language is always evolving, and it should continue to do so to adapt itself to new ideas. Language is an imperfect tool to describe the world, but because it’s always changing it is the best way to continue to describe it as it will change to include these new ideas. Only by finding and discussing these aspects that language is inadequate to properly describe will language eventually change its form to encompass them. It will not come as quickly as those left out by its limitations would like it to, but thoughtful, public discussions are the only way to keep it from stagnating, too.
Note Hax Conspiracy Theory
Posted 15 years agoFA ran out of disk space so they came up with something to get everyone to delete their notes.
Wishlist
Posted 15 years agoI want standardized laptop parts.
Posted 15 years agoSo I can build my own laptop.
Case
A distinct set of sizes and layouts.
Standardized mountings for:
* Monitor
* Motherboard
* Power supply
* Battery
* Hard drive (Already exists)
* Optical drive (Already exists)
* Antenna mountings
* Input devices
I wouldn't mind a more blocky system. Aesthetics don't bother me as much as functionality and cost.
Monitor
Connectors for:
* Power
* Data (Already exists as DP-internal)
Mountings for varying sizes.
Motherboard
Needs standardized mounting (This has been done on the desktop already)
Needs standardized I/O port brackets (This exists on some for a certain manufacturers' product line) and a fixed maximum height
Power supply
External power connector shape
Defined input voltage range
- Desktop supplies can automatically handle large voltage ranges, and so can many DC power supplies
Battery
It's getting pretty standard in terms of electrical interfaces. However, sizes and mountings needs a standard.
Drives
The standard 2.5" HDD/SSD mountings work fine, but the ability to connect them to the motherboard varies between manufacturers.
Antennas
This varies based on the type of wireless signal. Usually it's one or two antennas on the sides of the monitor, though with 802.11n, three antennas are available to provide higher throughput. A proper analysis of layout needs to be done to find one that provides optimal signal strength. (Likely has already been done by companies that produce 802.11n equipment)
Input devices
Mountings required.
A standardized keyboard connector is needed (Probably PS/2 or USB based).
A standardized mouse/tablet connector is needed (Probably PS/2 or USB based).
A changeable top half of the shell would help allow different keyboard shapes, though a standard "rectangle" seems to be usable in the majority of cases.

I'm making a museum. Want to be a part of it? [List update]
Posted 15 years agoSo http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4680171/ was just a sort of one-off piece. But after the discussion that occurred on it, I want to make a full museum of kinky characters. I plan on drawing up a floor-plan, then soliciting characters to be a part of each section. Then I'll draw up something for each piece/exhibit. The art's free, but donations are welcome. :D
So basically your character would be fulfilling some fetish for the museum. e.g. muscles, hyper, uh... my brain's fried, I can't think of anything else right now. But pretty much every single one would be restrained in some way, so regardless of your fetish, there'll be at least some bondage. Unless your character's a fish... or I stick them in a pit or something. So yeah. Also, I will be choosing what happens to the character.
For now, you can post to say your interested, and give:
Fetish/Theme:
Species:
Reference Link:
You can list more than one character. By posting you are not guaranteed a slot, just that I will consider. I'm getting pretty busy with school work so this will happen over time, not right away. I'll post a new journal when I finish up the museum's floor plan. Invite your friends!
(Ideally I'd make it in 3D, but that's a lot more work than I have time to do. Not to mention I'm not particularly skilled at 3D models. I could conceivably do the building, though...)
UPDATE: I am making a listing of everyone, as well as information about it. Please, take a read if you're participating. Also, some entries will have "$WORD" in them. If it is $USER, that means that position is open for the taking. If it's something else, that means I need to know that piece of information. The list is located at http://f.weblionx.com/fur/museum.txt

Trades and Requests
Posted 15 years agoI am closing down on plain-old requests. Occasionally, I will do things (Such as Speed-Paint Saturday or Request Streaming) where you can get free art, but beyond that requests are closed.
However, I am open for trades, regardless of your ability. Just draw the best you can. It can be on printer paper or in MSPaint, it doesn't matter. Would you prefer to write but don't think you can make a decent story? Make me a lovely limerick, a haiku of humor, or a singsong sonnet. Trades are for fun. You make the other person smile.
Interested? Just send me a note, and be sure to include:
- References: I can work from descriptions if need be, but a good reference makes it all the easier.
- Rating (G,R,X): Give me one, or a range and let me decide
- What you want: If you do not ask for a particular situation for your character(s) and I choose to do it, I will not do research into your likes and dislikes. Instead, I will do whatever I want to your character.
Things I will out right not do:
- Rape
- Scat/Watersports
- Commercial Characters
Don't forget:
- Read the instructions
- Be polite
- Try to have fun
