At this point a feel like most people in this corner of the community know that FA fucked up with the latest policy update, so I don't feel like getting into that (TLDR; they've added some harsh restrictions regarding physical/mental age regression). As such, a lot of artists are jumping ship, so I'm wondering what websites would be best for me to look at/make an account on for whenever I get back into posting art myself.
I'm not going to move to X (shitty management) or Deviantart (also quite restrictive), but I've heard about Inkbunny and SoFurry and Pixiv. Does anyone has a strong opinion on either of them (or other suggestions)?
(I also don't really want to move to BlueSky bc it's feed-based like X, rather than gallery-style like FA, but I'm willing to be flexible on that)

For anyone wanting an update: I'm not dead!

But I've been diagnosed with BPD which... explains alot. I dropped out of school in February and have been in group therapy on-and-off ever since. I haven't managed to find work, despite my best efforts, and Im having trouble finding motivation to draw. Especially for this page.

Obviously, the pandemic has made managing my mental health more difficult, especially my paranoia and need to be away from the place I live. So I've just been... trying to keep it together.

So, now that I'm finally active on here again, I may as well let y'all know how the market went!

I sold 3 pieces, which allowed me to cover the printing cost and turn a profit! I promtly used all of those profits to buy things from my other vendor friends, lol.

Also, I wanna share how much work went into my prints. I spent around 36 hours making all of those, because I had to be weird about it. I did a sketch by hand, adjusted it digitally, printed it and inked by hand, and then added colour and effects digitally again! Took a lot of time and caused alot of stress, but I like how they turned out!


I know my journals tend to be short, but it takes me several revisions to really expand anything, lol. Questions are welcome!

I'm just gonna postpone the Halloween piece. It is just TOO MUCH WORK, I seem to be able to ink maybe 1 character per day, so it would take the majority of a month if I were to ignore any other projects or inspirations. Which would suck. I'm hoping to complete it at a later date, but we will have to see.

However, I have 2 announcements!
1. I am going to write a short story to celebrate Spooky Day (Halloween), featuring schoolgirls, witches, and yes diapers.
and 2. I was going to have a super secret surprise for April, but that didnt happen. I have some prints I've been selling though, which I will upload when I have the time.

Thank you all for understanding,
Wisp

Honestly, I should have put more hours in earlier-on, but now I'm at the point where I don't know if the big Halloween piece will be done in time for... well, Halloween. It is a LOT of work, and I did not budget my time wisely. I am glad this was a freebie, because I would surely end up with a bad reputation if I has sold the slots for this.

This does not mean I'm giving up! I will try to get it done for the spookiest day of the year, but if it's not finished by then, I will post an update, and I WILL finish the piece.

On a side-note, I am STILL working on a big, secret project. It should be ready for release by April, but no promises.

Yesterday, I helped out at a local kink flea market. I met up with a little who was selling pacifiers who I met on fetlife, and we had tons of fun (I even bought my first adult-sized paci!). And I apparently made a good impression, because 3 different people (including the vendor) offered to sponsor me to go to the dungeon that evening. After figuring out dinner arrangements, I ended up going. However, with me being a newbie and not 100% ready to explore the dungeon, even just to watch, I spent my time in the social area, meeting all kinds of littles and pets! I had a wonderful time, and am DEFINITELY going back next month! Maybe I'll "play", maybe I'll just hang out in the social room, who knows!

I am so happy to be getting involved locally and getting to meet other littles face-to-face. There's even a littles & pets sleepover next month, and I am hoping to go with a close (little) friend.

It's alot to take in, but I am so glad to be getting involved!

These past couple days I have ACTUALLY taken a break from Inktober to do some more work on the big Halloween piece (among other things). I do, however, still want to make some more Inktober pieces, so I have made a STRAWPOLL! I'm still going to do each of the "Pick a ___" prompts, but I want to hear YOUR opinions!

https://www.strawpoll.me/16641643

Since the sky is homophobic and decided to be all grey and snowy on International Lesbian Day, my seasonal depression has started to hold me back again. I will still TRY to do Inktober, but my focuses will be on the large group piece I have planned and keeping my few remaining shreds of sanity.

Thank you all for understanding, and have a MARVELOUS day!

WARNING: RANT

Honestly, I've been exhausted lately, and since it seems that NOBODY cares about my art unless it's explicit diaper content, why bother with Inktober? I really liked yesterday's zombie piece, but apparently all my watchers wanna see is diapers, they probably don't care about quality much either. Like, for god's sake, I bust my ass with an hour+ of work every day, and nobody gives a shit. So I've just decided to quit. I'm still gonna make SOME "inktober" pieces with a few of the prompts, but honestly, since none of YOU care, I'm gonna focus on myself, which means less stress over this challenge bullshit.

Not to mention how my dad and brother have APPARENTLY been getting fed up with how little work I do around the house, but neither had the guts to tell me, like.... FUCKING HELL. Ugh... Life is a mess. Hopefully I can just get accepted for a damn job and they'll stop bitching to my mother.

In all honesty, I still appreciate all of my watchers and everything, but seriously guys? Not even 1 favourite on one of my best pieces yet? It's just exhausting.

Inktober is TOMORROW! And although I am mostly a digital artist, I'm catching a ride on the hype train nonetheless and drawing every day!

However, I came up with my own prompts, which will al be turned into characters or costumes for my characters! Now, without further ado, my prompts!

1. Monster
2. Human
3. Bird/Birdfolk
4. Zombie
5. Magical Girl
6. Devil/Daemon
7. Dragon
8. Dryad
9. Alice In Wonderland
10.(Choose a video game)
11. Witch
12. Slime
13. Cat/Catfolk
14. Skeleton
15. Knight
16. Werebeast
17. Angel
18. Toddler
19. Maid
20.(Choose a comic)
21. Mermaid
22. Vampire
23. Ghost
24. Drow/Drider/Spiderfolk
25. Faerie
26. Swamp Monster
27. Royalty
28. Superhero
29. Stuffed Animal
30.(Choose a Movie/TV show)
31. Halloween Party*

I was considering streaming tomorrow (usual time and all), and then I realized it is MINECON EARTH! And since I love Minecraft and even still play it to this day, I'm tuning in to the stream instead of doing some arty bullshit.


However, to keep you crazy kids satiated, why don't we do an ask thing? Ask anything you like, no judgement, no nothing. Wanna know my favourite colour? ASK!Want me to do a buzzfeed quiz? ASK! Wanna know my best sexual experience? Too bad, still a virgin.

Only exceptions are personal ID (bank card, real name, home address, SIN, etc.), otherwise ANYTHING GOES!
(I'll probably keep answering even past the weekend, so don't worry about being "late"!)

Start asking away, I'm gonna answer EVERY COMMENT on this journal!

Sorry I've been gone! I know it hasn't been THAT long, but as far as MY posting schedule goes, it has been ages. I have just been busy with MY FIRST COMMISSION! I need to figure out a proper schedule for this, so that Comms don't stop me from posting for a week or two, lol.

I'm thinking of trying some new things with my art, to really find MY style. I have been having fun, and will continue working on my Halloween project as well, but I honestly need to slot out some time for smaller projects while I work on the big ones. I also want to do more writing, but that may manifest as stories or maybe as comics, I don't know yet.

Maybe I could also do a Q&A sometime, I think that could be lots of fun! Help us come together! (Noticing a theme? I like making friendgroups)

Goodnight and Good day!

So, as some of you may know, I am making a MASSIVE piece to commemorate my mutual watchers for Halloween. However, I had originally missed a few mutuals, bringing the new total nuber of characters from 15 to 20. Now it's a REAL party! (And a lot more work).

I'm going to add more slots to the draft soon, maybe some of them will be even better than some of the old ones!

I finally figured out my commission prices! Please, check them out! I feel they're pretty good, but I would love to hear some feedback!

Not only will the monetary incentive increase my motivation, but I have some intentions to buy slots in a few comics that interest me, so much of it will go back into the diaperfur community!

I don't have a lot else to say, but today was a good day, and I am feeling pretty great about myself!

Sweet dreams and good morning, darlings!

Note me your results 

I will NOT be streaming again tomorrow, because I don't want to burn out. However, Im thinking of streaming every Saturday and doing 3 free sketches each week. (Because 4 was a bit much).

Watch out for stream warnings every Saturday!
~Whiskerly

Today SUCKED. I woke up coughing so hard I cried, and spent the whole day playing video games instead of making art or music or anything productive (not that I minded the break). And I foolishly concluded my day by reading Blue Is The Warmed Colour, leaving me dripping with tears at 11pm.

Today has been a mess. But I will STILL be streaming Tomorrow and Sunday (noon-3 MST).
JOIN ME ON PICARTO, maybe Ill turn on my mic and sob, lol!

Picarto.tv/whiskerly

This weekend is a double feature of STREAMING!

For Free Sketch Saturday, tune in between noon and 3 (MST), and get a free sketch (maybe even line art if only a few people show up).

For Speedart Sunday, I MAY already have a plan, but seeing how last week went, I may instead do 2 pieces instead of just one (12-3 MST)!


I can't wait to see all of you this weekend at picarto.tv/whiskerly

Heyo all!
So, tomorrow I'm going to be streaming my first EVER Speedart Sunday!

If you would like a chance to get some free art, drop in to my picarto tomorrow from noon to 3pm (MST), and good luck!

Also, if you want a free sketch or two, join me on the second Saturday of each month for Free Sketch Saturday! (I love sketching, so I really don't mind!)

If you want a commission otherwise, you'll have to wait until I figure out my prices (and set up my paypal).

Today I had the pleasure of seeing sunlight again (which we have been lacking in the last week due to smoke from the forest fires), I also had a wonderful, padded sleep, and even tried out yoga. The day was fantastic until I saw that my little shit of a cat ate through the wire of my drawing tablet. For me, this means I'm going to scream; for the rest of you, this means that I won't be uploading any new art unless my dad can fix it (he's an IT guy so, fingers crossed).

Thank you for listening to my short, mediocre rant.

UPDATE: Cords are fixed, but the sun is gone again. Balance has been maintained

I've recently decided that posting new sketches every day is not the BEST use of my time. Sure, it helps with composition, proportions, and style, but my line art is still garbage. With this in mind I've decided to focus on cranking out one (1) finished piece every week or so. I will probably post my daily progress in my scraps.

In line with this aspect of self-improvement, I've recently been job hunting. I applied at a few places, including a local adult toy shop and ABUniverse. The toy shop needs me to get a PRC and all that jazz before they hire me, but they seem pretty interested in me, I'm just wondering if I get hourly pay or commission. As for ABU, they emailed me saying they are not hiring ATM, but will keep me on file in case they are, which is AWESOME! If I did get the job, I wonder if I could even put it on my resume though? Like, should I just tell all my potential employers what weird stuff I'm into? lol I would hope they have a parent company that's more generic to use on resumes or something.

Anyways, I've been having a lot of fun on here and hope to make more content everyone can enjoy!

Love,
Whisk

First journal of likely few,

I only JUST tried out the correction function in Firealpaca. My line art has gone from garbage to QUALITY.

Of course, it still takes AGES to ink something out, but hopefully that will improve in the next little while.

Many of you know I have also been hinting at an upcoming project. I still haven't figured everything out yet, but it is gonna be good. My recent sketches are a couple of the characters, although I am still thinking about how to go about costume design. I am very much torn between doing a modern/futuristic look and the classical sailor moon outfits. With it being magical girls and all, they obviously have some choice in how their outfits look, but it would make more sense if they were in a uniform style (pun intended). After that, it is only a matter of making all of the lore and the plot.

I'm also considering featuring mutual watchers in the comic, but am not sure yet. I'm also uncertain as to whether they should be part of the main cast or just side characters. Only time will tell.

If you read this whole thing, congrats!
That is all,
Whiskerly
