Troubles in university, this time for real.
And I thought that lost girl and a broken leg were the worst part of 2020... I was wrong.
It's funny how every time I actually manage to sort things out with my arts and Patreon, life gives me new surprises.

Since lots of us are sitting at home now,   Caribou got a wonderful idea. Check this journal:

I promised to do the updates.

So, as you might know, I dont have a table at the dealers den (basically - I had no time to prepare any arts for printing, so I didnt even apply for a table), thus I'll be wandering around the con for the next few days. Maybe I'll find myself a corner and start pencil sketching, but it's pretty hard for me, so I can't promise that.

Anyway. My usual outfit will be like this: https://pp.userapi.com/c638217/v638.....7ARHNxAYAI.jpg
Since I've got nothing to do there, feel free to talk / walk / fuck a stud.

Also we stay in Berlin till August 22, so if anybody has any ideas of what to go and what to do, I'm willing to listen.
Will try to be in skype and telegram for better connect.

Anything else?

So, we passed the customs and after a few hours our plane landed in Germany. Man its hot in there...

Back back back from DACHA (go google), the next week is gonna be pretty intense on drawings. Gonna get back to dailies practise, make a speedpaint, finish the YCH sketch, all those things. Yours again, wh. Any questions I need to answer?

First - info.

1. hooves & co ( Goldenwing177 + Parda) are going to Europe this year;
2. we gonna visit Munich > Barcelona > Berlin;
3. the tickets and rooms are booked already, now we only need visa approval;
4. we're not staying in EF hotel, we'll be nearby. I'll try to make clear where to find me.

As for the posters I wanted to bring to EF for sale. Well, I still want to. But.
I'll need somebody local to help me with printing and selling. I'm sure there are people who do this every day, so if anybody's interested, pls contact me ;)

As usual, I like to summ the things at the end of the year, and often I make a (short) interview answering the questions.

If you have any questions about me, my life, my art, or anything else, you can ask them here in comments. Or ask me personally in notes for your question to stay anonymous.

I'm gonna answer the questions in comments, and (if there will be lots of them), make a list of questions and answers here in this journal.


Also there are questions from my patrons:

(P) Are you really Russian?
Nyet. Man this never gets old.

(P) Is it cold there?
Unfortunately no - right now we have -2'C, which is quite unusual for the winter. I wish we had ~ -20'C, so I won't have to use windshield washer that often.

(P) What are you like?
I'm almost 28, a student, ~ 192cm, 88kg, bald and bearded guy. My beard is red/blonde.

(P) Art student?
IT specialist at the State Forest University.

(P) Do you have any goals with your art or is it more of a hobby?
I'm trying to do it my lifestyle and source of income. Didn't have any success this far.

(P) Do you own horses?
No, I don't. I can't afford owning a horse right now. But I hope to get one or two in the future.

Just realised I STILL have to do something with it. Well, tomorrow. Or the day after tomorrow... Or... or...

Well, there's gonna be hard day tomorrow anyway, so I'll probably spend some time lurking through all this mess.

Aaaand if I won't thank you personally (which I don't do really often), I want you to know, that I love every one of you, who like my humble creations.

Drawing what you like is cool, but being liked while drawing what you like - priceless. For everything else there's a mastercard.
By the way, you can fill it up a bit by joining my patreon. It's not updated as often as most artists do, but I have cookies videos and sketches and gonna reupload the fullHD folder pretty soon.

And now - time to sleep for me. And you all have a nice day!

so much afraid to check and thank all the new watchers, read comments and so... Loosing this thing isn't good, but I don't have time and motivation to check them every day... Omg. Should go draw actually...

I didn't die. I'm just a sleepless busy tired little horse. And probably there will be a stream at Friday. Love you all, see ya.

So, I spent my Saturday driving, because I couldn't let an old lady use public transport to bring her fucking plants to her fucking garden. Instead of drawing an entire day.

Lots of people (my ex girls mostly) call me an errogant and egoist jerk. Perhaps I should be one?..

Because with all this university work I had to do this week, I did like 3 hours of drawing. I'm not even angry... I want to kill people. Slowly. See ya all tomorrow.

In few words:
- I'm back online
- thank Satan, relatives are gone!
- gonna concentrate all my efforts on commission for Tabra (the only one active)
- afraid to show up at Patreon - didn't feed the followers for almost 1,5 months... Hope they're not dead X_X
not sure about new commissions soon - gonna start with few almost safe YCH with unlimited time and make lots of small things for Patreon.


Have to deal with all the new arts I'd like to fav.
Have to thank all my watchers for being followed.

That's my short. Maybe will stream today, not sure. Glad to be back. Love you all.

So, I was planning to stream Saturday and Sunday. However, yesterday I got a call from my cousin telling he and his wife are moving to my place to get some medical business done in the city. Yeah, sure, relatives are always welcome as guests, but... Maybe telling a week before? Rednecks.

I have no idea of how long they gonna stay, but I'm definetely sure I don't want to turn on my PC during that. I'm gonna spend that time for scheduled work at summer house and other things. Probably will be offline during that time.

One more thing. I know I didn't check all the new watchers profiles for quite a while, so I thank all the new ones as well as those who was with me for a long time already. I'm gonna reward you with some quick things after I get back. Yes, they are waiting for you already.

Same thanks goes to my Patreon supporters, even though this summer of mine has no big drawings at all. Hope to see you soon and good luck!

Ahh, feels good. Actually I didn't get any new messages or comments while FA was down, but it feels good to be with you once again.
Good luck to FA team working on security things, and pls don't screw this again - I've just came with a brand new password, I don't want to make a new brainstorm for another one ^^

By the way, since we're talking. I know I asked this before, but do you have any suggestions for me to expand my gallery to other furry web resources?
Currently I have FA and tumblr, and deviantart, but now is frozen, because... Well, I didn't have enough safe and interesting content for it, so I decided to keep it silent for a while.

And no, I don't want to leave FA. I personally think FA has some issues and things I don't like, but I'm accustomed here, and here I have some watchers to follow. That's important for me)

Sooo, a friend gave me a link to my art posted at derpibooru >> this one.
And I can see some discussion going on, whether it belongs to MLP or not. Moderators point is:
- it doesn’t have a cutie mark or anything to tie it to the show
- the booru is for MLP, not generic horse porn

I know there are some bronies following me, as well as horselovers, zoo guys, etc.
I don't want anybody to take part in DB discussion, neither I want to discuss moderation of any web gallery, but I want you to express yourself here. What do you think? Is this art mlp related?

This is commission terms and agreement journal entry. Slots and discussion entry will be posted a bit later (~15 min)


Commission Terms and Agreement
(2nd edition, updated April 10th 2016)

I - General
- this is an agreement between me (artist) and you (commissioner);
- by ordering me a commission you confirm that you've read, understood and agreed with these terms;
- I keep all commercial rights for my drawings: I may upload them to my galleries and portfolios, print them, use them and/or their parts for advertising, art examples and Patreon rewards, unless the opposite is specified personally. I may not resell any commissioned drawings to 3rd persons;
- you keep all non-commercial rights for the ordered commissions: you may upload them to your galleries (or wherever you want), print, use them to make badges and avatars, etc;
- you may not make any physical changes and/or remove copyright text from finished images (excluding making wallpapers, badges and avatars for your own purpose, cropping allowed);
- I may upload WIPs and stream drawing your commissions, unless the opposite is specified;
- you confirm, that all characters to be drawn are either owned by you, or neutral (random), or their owners allow using the characters. I won't request any confirmation, but if something goes wrong, I will always take side of character's owner;
- if you're about to order adult content, you confirm that you're of legal age in your country;
- I reserve the right to reject any commission or commissioner which/who I don't feel comfortable to work with. At any reason, any time;
- if there are going to be any changes in these terms, they won't affect active commissions;

II - Queue, timing, technical info
- you may get into my commission list via special journal entry (commission status is always available at my front page);
- if there are several contenders to a slot, I reserve the right to choose the one I'm more interested to draw for;
- no deadlines. Usually it takes me about 15-35 drawing hours to do an art from blank. Split into days, this may take several days to few months;
- commissioner gets HD and web sized png files, all the WiPs and speedpaint video (if there is any);

III Execution order, payments
- approximate price is estimated on your requests. Once all details are settled, I make a really rough sketch for you to approve;
- I keep ALL the rights for my sketches, meaning they are for discussion/approval usage only;
- once you approved the sketch, I request payment and start working on your commission;
- you may split the payment in 2, however I need at least 50% prepayment to start working;
- no arts will be finished and published until fully paid;
- if customer fails to make rest of the split payment in 3 months after request, the art is considered to be cancelled with no refunds;
- I reserve the right for a full artistic freedom while working on commission, meaning all changes you want to make after the sketch was approved are discussed individually, major changes may also affect the price;

IV - Cancelling a commission, refunds
- you may cancel your commission at any time;
- I may cancel your commission at any time;
- I may use cancelled commissions as my own arts, including making YCH auctions. In this case all personal character details will be deleted;
- customers, who cancel their commissions, are removed from the queue. However, they may try their luck in the future;
- if commission is cancelled by you, you will be refunded for as much as possible according to the work done, but no more than 75% of the whole price (or half of prepayment, if using split payments);
- if commission is cancelled by me, you will be refunded for 100% whole price (excl transaction fees), regardless of the work done;

V - Content, style.
- style, content and pricing are described in my official comission description;
- realistic or adapted character scaling, all creatures belong to their weight categories*;
- no sex between species of strongly different size/weight categories (may be discussed individually);


**************************************************************************************

***Commission FAQ***

- How can I get a slot?
Keep your eyes on my updates - I will always announce new slots with a journal entry and a visual ad.

- What about macro? What is reasonable macro?
Well, a stallion in a mice village is a reasonable macro. A really big dragon in any village is reasonable too. If macro is caused by magic, I'd like viewer to know that. For a better undestanding of macro and micro I recommend you to watch Disney's Zootopia.

* - What about drawing well-known characters?
If you mean characters from movies, cartoons, games or stories, I consider this as a fan art, which usually has no problems with copyrights... Characters created by furry community are often for a free usage.

- Can you draw a background in 3D?
Yes, I can. But I have no experience of mixing my latest style with 3D. My style is actually hard to be mixed with (unlike drawings by zaush, which are made specially for such mixes)

- You used to work with no prepayments. What happened?
Fuckup happened. Now only work with prepayments.

- Can you do ref sheets?
I've been experimenting with flats for a while, so I may give it a try. May be discussed individually.

- Can you do sketch arts or flats?
Unfortunately my sketching takes lots of time, and I find selling my sketches to be either unprofitable or overpriced.

- You prices are so high! Didn't you think of lowering them?
I set my prices, according to the drawing time spent, and I feel them to be quite reasonable. Nobody forces you to work with me, you have lots of artists to choose from.

- I've found an artist, who draws faster and better than you!
If he's willing to give me a shelter and access to his fridge, that's wonderful. Otherwise, I've got my own bills to pay, so it's all about money and timing.

- You used to have a big queue with lots of slots. Are you going to make another one long queue?
No. The thing is I forced lots of peope to wait for their queue. Even with no prepayments this feels pretty bad. So, now I'm gonna open few slots only, refreshed after the art is done. Thus I won't have anybody waiting in queue - it's "first come, first served", which makes much better chances for anyone.

- Are you going to make a special form for commissioners?
Yes, but I've got to figure technical side of it, so I'll start with oldschool journal thing.

- When are you going to open new slots?
~ 15 minutes from posting this journal.

- I have a question...
Go ahead and ask. Also if you've found any major mistakes or mismatches, feel free to point them.

So, I dealt with updates and thanked some new watchers. That's a good thing. Bad thing - I'm always aftaid of that enormous crowd of new watchers, so I keep it unchecked untill it gets too big and forces me to deal with it. Yes, I do feel ashamed :D

Anyway, I'm glad there are more and more people to like my art, and I hope I won't disappoint you in a nearest future. So, thanks for watching and have fun! And I'm gonna continue my art crusade :D
