Alternatives to PayPal?
Posted 4 months agoYeah, wow, this is quite the journal to come up after...three years? Goodness.
Unfortunately, bad news has brought me to write this up: I need suggestions for alternatives to PayPal?
Taking any suggestions. Importantly, I need to be able to pay folks that are still using PP. Which is most every artist.
They have chosen, in their infinite wisdom, to limit my account for reasons ill explained (though let's be honest, we all know what they're like, we all know why). So needless to say, I need something else. I shan't be stopping my commissioning of furry artists on fucking PayPal's terms!

Looking for animators!
Posted 3 years agoHow goes it cuties?
I'm in the market for animators, or rather just anyone that can animate a piece of art, and maybe add a lil sound to boot! Nothing too complex or anything, what I'm after should be fairly simple for someone who knows what they're doing.
So throw suggestions at me!

Greetings all!
Posted 4 years agoHope all have been well!
My last journal was in the middle of March. Come the end of that month my contract at the time expired, and up until the end of June I was jobless. That would make for my longest stint unemployed and during that time life felt very go-nowhere.
That's not to say I put enormous value into work. Given the opportunity I'd never work a day in my life. But not earning fucking sucks.
Fortunately, as of the arse end of June, I have work again! Huzzah! And with any fortune, this will be long term and stable work.
Here's hoping this will also lead to getting my own place sometime in the next few months as well!
Take care everyone, and stay safe out there <3

Just a daily reminder that Twitter is cancer
Posted 4 years agoTwitter is cancer. Thank you for listeningWoah, it's been a while!
Posted 4 years agoYes the last journal I put out was in July of last year. So I figured I'd put something out.
Personally, things are getting a touch hectic and stressful here, with far too much uncertainty in the coming year still.
I've got a modest little backlog still which I'll be steadily uploading in the coming weeks, as well as some work I'm still waiting to come in.
In other news I've been working on a personal project recently, writing up character bios, getting together reference material, and in future hopefully I can start writing stories. Where I'll put this project up online, I'm not quite sure. I might give it it's own account, I might not even put it on FA. I'm really not sure. But if anyone knows artists that are any good at guns, combat gear and the like, lemme know! It's kinda hard to find people who can do that.
Tale care all! <3

A note about gift art
Posted 5 years agoI'm more than happy to receive gift art from people, either art being bought for me or drawn for me.
But I would prefer it if you inform me before hand in either case. And that goes for any of my characters.
Thank you!The nature of public platforms & standing by what you say
Posted 5 years agoWe live in an age where it's easier than ever to lock yourself into an echo chamber.
Countless online platforms make that easier than ever. But let's not beat around the bush here, Twitter epecially makes this easier than ever. With the ability for your Tweets only to be seen by whom you choose, allowing you to block keywords etc etc.
Basically allowing you to filter out anything you don't want to see. Which in most cases means, allowing you to block out opposing points of view, ergo, setting up your own little echo chamber.
So what am I getting at here?
I've always been of a mind that you should stand by what you say. If you state a point of view, opinion or whatever else on a public platform, where the general public can see it and more importantly, where it can come under scrutiny. You should be prepared to defend what you say. You should be prepared for public scrutiny, opposing points of view, and be prepared to discuss with the opposition in a calm and civilised manner. Who knows? You might learn something, and you might help enlighten someone of your side, where they may have been ignorant before.
If you're unprepared for those occurances: THEN YOU SHOULDN'T BE POSTING ON A PUBLIC PLATFORM
Because you are clearly incapable of handling public scrutiny. And if you can't handle public scrutiny, then don't post something somewhere the public can see it.
This is why nobody discusses anything anymore. Because nobody wants to talk. Everyone just wants to shout out their side, then stick their fingers in their ears and ignore what anyone else has to say. This is not how you engage in civil, adult discussion!
Stand by what you say. Be open to listen, especially to people from the other side. Don't be a fucking coward and hide in your echo chamber.
Peace.

2010s decade round up
Posted 6 years agoYes I know everyone's inboxes are likely filled with these, but I feel it's something I need to do more for my own benefit. But all the same if you're interested enough to read it, then I greatly appreciate your time and interest.
Where to start? I suppose we can begin on the professional side.
Jobs/Professional stuff
The start of the decade went pretty well all things considered. After a stressful but wholly fulfilling graduation from college, I was on somewhat of a high. But in reality I was wholly unsure where to go from there. Everyone wanted me to go to University, and I went along with that notion, mainly because I was unsure what else to do.
Sadly that ended up being quite a huge mistake, one that I won't truly see the back of for a few more years at least (thanks very much student loans). After a year of Uni I eventually dropped out. Which left me with a year's worth of debt and nothing to show for it.
This felt like a serious low point for me. I'd been enduring months of intense stress which all culminated in being kicked out of the university and feeling like a complete failure. I was at serious risk of not getting into any decent employment. Fortunately I applied for some apprenticeships, and after my first interview I was hired within half an hour.
I remember it well since I hadn't even gotten home yet. Literally stepped off the bus, got a phone call from the agency, and was informed of being hired. So things were looking up.
After about two years of what would eventually be four, it was becoming obvious that the job and the company were going nowhere fast. My job had plateaued. So why did I stick with it for another two years? Complacency. Complacency is fucking lethal when it comes to your job. I grew complacent, the commute was non-existent, the pay was decent-ish, the work wasn't difficult (but also no challenging), and there were myriad other little perks.
Eventually the cleanliness of the office was what tipped it. I don't want to go into details because the thought of it still gives me fucking nightmares so I'll just say; I spent a year working in a pest infested office.
To cut a long story short, eventually I was made redundant after it became clear I was looking for new work.
So a year of stress and what was starting to feel like another low point fortunately didn't last too long. But two weeks of unemployment passed before I found myself hired again to what is now my current position. I've only been working there since the beginning of December, but so far so good. The commute is a complete pig, but the office is nice, I have actual co-workers (whom are also friendly), the work is consistently challenging and stretches my skills and experience, but above all the pay is pretty good for someone of my level.
Let's move onto more personal stuff shall we?
I started out the year being pretty hot on the creative front. To be fair late 2009 is when I picked up drawing as a hobby. So obviously going into the 2010s I was going to hit the ground running. Unfortunately however as the decade went on it started to drop off and eventually became something I only seriously did every now and again.
Having said that towards the end of the decade I did start to pick it up again, and started to properly work on some old characters I had shelved years ago.
Here's hoping I pick the hobby up properly again in the new decade.
On other fronts I began pursuits in amateur dramatics, something that continued persistently over the years. I've been in at least one production every year, save for one which I'm rather pleased about. I foresee continuing it for many years more.
I also picked up airsoft in the last couple of years. It's something I've been wanting to do since I was a kid, but never made the push. I doubt I'll be stopping any time soon, it's a riot!
But most importantly I became a furry. That might sound silly, but without becoming a furry I would never have met so many fantastic people I proudly call my friends. I never would have discovered a lot of very important things about myself which I doubt I would have discovered otherwise. (or at least such discovery would have been delayed).
But above all else, I would never have met my lovely partner <3
Whom I am very very happy I met. It was purely happenstance. But isn't life funny like that? You find love when you aren't even looking.
Thanks to them I've been able to discover even more about myself. I've managed to provide love and comfort to someone truly deserving of it. And I truly hope we can get even closer in the next year or so.
That's about all I can think to rattle off right now. Thanks for reading those who have, I truly appreciate it~
Here's to 2020 and the decade ahead!

So, the new FA logo and layout...
Posted 6 years agoYeah I'm jumping on this as well.
Let's start with the logo shall we? Give it a look in full:
https://www.furaffinity.net/themes/.....o_20191231.png
Now it's important you look at this logo at it's full size first to understand my criticism. This is not a bad piece of art. It is however a terrible logo!
There's far too much detail and the elements that make it up are far too indistinguishable when it's shrunk down. And it will always be shrunk down because it has to fit the header bar at the top of the site.
When viewed up there it just becomes a messy blob. So it commits the cardinal rule of logo design: It's not distinguishable at all sizes.
But not only that....is that an F or an S in there? Is this FA or SA? Cuz that looks more like an S to me. So already we're off to a bad start.
But what about the site's new layout and UI? Well.....they suck.
The website's new layout is cluttered and crowded. The fonts are far too large, which further contributes to the cluttered feeling.
Alongside that so many UI elements have been moved and rearranged for seemingly no logical reason. Take for example the notes page.
Now you have your list of notes along the top of the page, and when you open a note it opens underneath the note list....why exactly? Why are they not side-by-side? Which was a layout that worked just fine.
How 'bout looking at an individual submission? The most basic of pages on the site. Can't be much to screw up there....right? Wrong. This is the most egregiously cluttered page of all. Almost everything that was previously displayed above or below the submissions is now displayed alongside the submission, stuffed into a tiny column along the right-hand side of the page, forcing the submission off-centre and over to the left.
Why is it necessary that I can see the stats, tags, species, gender, category, size, and the fav, download and note buttons AT THE SAME TIME as I'm trying to look at this pretty picture!? Oh and the fucking ADVERTISEMENTS are displayed in this same column as well.
The simplest essence of this site, and that has been fucked up as well. How can you make such a terrible string of design/layout decisions? Why is my simple viewing experience interfered with? For what reason? Because I cannot think of a single good reason why the submission page has been so heavily fucked with beyond "Change for the sheer sake of change".
The buttons are a mess as well. Why do "Post" and "Cancel" have equal prominence when it comes to comments and the like? Why is there no distinction between the two save for the text? Why do we even need a cancel button for that matter? Seems rather redundant.
Speaking of buttons why are the submissions page buttons only at the bottom now? Rather than at the top AND the bottom? Again this feels like a needless change that messes with the layout for the pure sake of it, rather than for any degree of usability improvements.
I haven't the faintest clue who the hell they got in to design this cluttered, disorganised, difficult to read mess, but I can tell you one thing for absolute certain; like with the logo, it was someone who had no idea what they were doing.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Journal bump!
Posted 6 years agoDon't mind me, just journal bumping! <3
Contact twice within several months? tHaT'S HAraSsMEnt!
Posted 6 years agoYou heard it here first folks! Apparently contacting someone twice within the span of several months is officially harassment. Who'd have guessed?
How wrong of me!
Meanwhile, I haven't been stalking people online, across multiple websites, and finding out real names to threaten reporting to local authorities.
But contact twice within several months? Well that just makes me an online bully! Oh woe! An irreverent sense of humour is trolling and harassment! Call the cops! Will anyone stop me!?
(Yes I'm sure you can detect the rife sarcasm in this post)

Oh yeah, I'm 24 now
Posted 6 years agoYeah my birthday was last Monday. Of course I took the day off because going into work on your birthday on a Monday sucks arse xD
So I had a weekend with my love, played airsoft, went around shopping, all that stuff!
Time for more art to upload <3

Posted 6 years ago"Hey you shouldn't do that thing!"
"Now I'm going to do that thing you did to admonish you!"

Yeah, really sticking to yer own morals there. Mhm. Yup. Well done.

Incoming art!
Posted 6 years agoIt's not going to be a spam, since I'm slow with uploading. But I should have a consistent batch of new art coming in over the rest of September :3Sometimes I wonder how I should use my words
Posted 6 years agoIn the past I've regretted opening my big fat mouth when I should have kept it well and truly shut, and said nothing.
But for I think the first time in my life I should have done the opposite, and said something. And now I've inadvertently hurt someone closest to me....Dota 2: The least amount of fun you can have wasting time
Posted 6 years agoThe least fun way to waste your time. Honestly I'd recommend taking drugs over playing Dota 2.
-Everybody hates you, and you'll have every good reason to hate them in return
-The balance is a total joke
-The heroes are completely bullshit in design
-Matches are a colossal time sink for minimal reward or enjoyment value
Sure the game is free, but so is a kick in the gonads and personally I'd rather the latter. At least the pain from that doesn't last a goddamn hour, and even then I can do other, more worthwhile things while waiting for the pain to subside.
Don't start playing Dota. Dota does not end, and cannot be "won". The thrill of victory is a fleeting joy which will swiftly fade when you realised you just wasted three hours of your Sunday night basically doing sweet fuck all.

MWO: The least amount of fun you'll have with giant robots
Posted 6 years agoMechWarrior Online. A game about piloting giant robots, and destroying other giant robots. Sounds like an exciting premise, doesn't it? So why is it so boring?
I've spent a few hours this afternoon playing this game and I didn't think I could ever be bored by the prospect of giant robots, and yet I barely had any fun in my time playing it. It wasn't frustrating, or angering, no just outright dull. Which if you ask me is all the more damning.
First issue: queuing and loading times. I think I spent an equal amount of time waiting to find a game and loading into a game as I did actually playing the game itself, even if I lasted to the end of the match. So that's already a red mark in my book.
Second issue: the weapons feel pitiful. These are autocannons the size of ship mounted turrets, why does it feel like I'm plinking at the enemy with little metal ball bearings!? Lasers ineffectually pew pew, ballistic weapons meekly plink plink and all in all there's just no visceral feeling to any of the weapons, and it feels like even the lightest paper mache armoured mech can sponge several hundred shots before going down.
There's no feedback, there's no impact, it all results in a long winded slogfest with weapons so piss weak I could probably actually piss on the mechs and do more damage than the 7ft penis extension I have strapped to this hukling machine.
If anyone can tell me the appeal of this game I'll happily listen, but as it stands I don't think I'll be touching it again. I've tried getting into it multiple times in the past, but simply haven't gotten past a mere few hours before getting so bored with it all.
There's immense satisfaction to blowing up an enemy mech, but actually getting to that point takes so bloody long from clicking "Queue" to actually destroying someone, that the wait isn't worth it and the moments (or should I say minutes) of combat leading up to it are so uninvolving...
Needless to say I'm unlikely to touch this one again, except in a few years time when I've forgotten why I gave up again and try it once more.

I don't do idle chatter over notes
Posted 6 years agoIf you're going to note me with just a "Hi" or "Hello" and nothing more, please don't. If you want to talk to me, actually bring a topic to hand.
I don't mind talking to people but if you're going to go out of your way to write a note to me, make something of it. Going to be making uploads over the next few days
Posted 6 years agoI have a backlog built up over the last two months. So I'll be staggering out uploads over the next few days. Look forward to a nice little variety :3Today is payday (Mayternity/MerMay suggestions)
Posted 6 years agoYeah mine is in the middle of the month, don't ask. But more important, it's May! Which means it's both Mayternity and MerMay!
So then what do you lot want to see in relation to these themes? Any specific ideas? Throw them my way, don't be shy :3Philosophical Question: Are there stupid questions?
Posted 6 years agoIt's in the title: Are there stupid questions?
I'd like the most honest opinion of anyone who cares to answer. Don't worry about offence or holding back. Just say what you honestly think. This is a little but philosophical so I welcome anything anyone has to say, even if I might not agree.[/center]

That moment when you're called out on Twitter
Posted 6 years agoCuz you called out someone white knighting a popular artist that doesn't even remotely need white knighting, and then get blocked because of it.
Whatever. All you've done is show up how much of a brown nosing white knight you are. And if you think an incredibly popular, and clearly wealthy artist needs defending from stupid comments, then you're only proving my point. They're popular and wealthy, they don't give a shit about stupid comments xD

2019 is here, so what does that mean?
Posted 7 years agoA whole new year ahead of us and a whole year of opportunity!
Opportunity to improve, to change, to see what life throws our way.
What am I going to do? Well I'm not going to make New Year Resolutions. But goals for the year. Get fitter, eat better, maybe change jobs. Be better with my finances. Hopefully get my own place (Come on market crash!). We'll see.
Good luck for the year all!

So it's coming to that time of year again
Posted 7 years agoThat's right, the end of the year. Hm? Xmas is first? Well we all knew that.
So what am I getting at? Well with the advent of a new year comes the desire to change and better oneself.
Well I can tell you one change that will come about, and that's some changes to my fursona. Nothing huge just some subtle alterations. For one I plan to make myself more of a MILF. After having three kids it makes sense if you ask me. Those of you that remember the MILF-tober piccy I got back in October, that's the general idea.
I already have one piece in my backlog (destined to go up soon) that shows some baby fat on me. I also want to make minor alterations elsewhere but I'm not sure what yet. I'm in a bit of an odd position. I want to make changes, but I don't know what, and I don't want to do anything for the sake of it. So it'll take some brainstorming.
For now just expect extra pudge and a more MILF-like figure :3
Onto other art matters, I'm going to try and cut down on pure fetish art/purely sexual art. I'd like to try get more character focused material. I want to be able to show my characters being themselves. There will still be purely sexual/fetish based work here and there (Evelynn will chip in for that) but overall expect less of it.
Anyway I hope everyone has a great festive season, or as I like to call it "generic bland obligatory half-remembered swamp of gluttony and resentment". But since GBOHRSOGAR doesn't roll of the tongue very well I'll say just Xmas. Thanks for sticking around everyone, I really appreciate the favourites and comments and that there are people that have even a remote interest in my fursona and characters and I hope you all stick around for more <3

That moment when you're just trying to be nice
Posted 7 years agoThat moment when you're just trying to be nice, give some well wishes to someone who's moving. I tell them not to push it, and lift with their knees and not their back.
But then someone starts trying to argue over how that's rubbish, and that the knees exert no force and blah blah blah. Look bruh, stop arguing this shit. I don't care, nobody fucking cares I'm just trying to wish someone well in their house moving.
