Hey, what do you guys think of the new characters?
Posted 9 years agoSince Paw Day was cut-off for a few days with Read Only mode after I posted my art, many people didn't get the chance to review the new characters and pics. I'm curious of what you guys think about them and ways I can improve them. Heck, any input would greatly help. ^^
BTW, check out my Scraps: http://www.furaffinity.net/scraps/xtreme7/
and my buddy Fenril's gallery for more Paw Day art from me: http://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/fenril/
Thankies, any input would be greatly appreciated! ^^

Thats it for posting for today!
Posted 9 years agoHave a nice Paw Day everyone! Be sure to check my scraps for a extra pic or two. Enjoy my new characters as well!
Oy! When's Paw Day?
Posted 9 years agoSeems like the date changes every year.
Open for some Constructive Criticism :)
Posted 9 years agoHey guys, been wondering lately on ways I can improve my art. I am open to any criticism you can give me, but please suggest/discuss/review my style on the current, like the way I draw characters, paws, set-ups, compositions, ect. Not things like "draw more of this character/do more colored/shaded pictures."
I'm more or less interested on ways I can improve my art as a whole as because right now I feel like I hit "stagnation." Plus at this point I am not sure on ways I can improve, so I'm reaching out to you guys to help me.
Please be thorough, it's okay to be negative, some negative reception helped me in the past on directions I can go with my art.
Current facts I can tell you to aid in your reception:
1. Gentle Macro/Non-Macro I'm ultra-super picky about and likely won't draw as much as you like.
2. Giga situations I do like to draw, I have been in the "mood" to draw them a lot lately. "Mega-macro" (like in the city stuff) will return once I figure out a few good ideas.
3. I have so many characters I can/want to draw, my mood shifts from time to time, its best to draw what's on my mind than force a character to appear in a picture. So old favorites like Malodora will be drawn again at some point, but I don't want to shoehorn her or others into a picture that doesn't work for them.
4. I am not against 'micro' situations, like a tiny/shrunken person in a house idea, I'm just into macro situations more. If a good idea comes around, I will draw it.
5. I prefer micro/tiny humans more than tiny furries for numerous reasons like: Humans are easier to draw en-mass, they are more 'relatable' to picture yourself in, ect.
So yeah, try to discuss my style and ways I can improve as an artist as a whole. I am grateful for any reception you can give.
Thank you.

Yay! Galleries are now organized! And changed avatar!
Posted 9 years agoNo more candy corn . Sad to see it go, it was really tasty. ^^
Hope you like the new avatar, I know its kinda simple compared to the others, but it makes a great sport for a staring contest. :3
But anyways, I have updated my gallery and organized my art, you should be able to view older and specific art with ease, especially my old 3D art from years ago.
I have also uploaded pictures of my new goddess character, Serra. I have other characters under development right now and plan to release them soon.
Nhizi Comic will return, I've been wanting to return to it for a while now, but I want to work on other pics for the time being. Thank you for your patience. ^^

Pondering on alot of stuff.
Posted 10 years agoHey, I have drawn several pics, but right now I'm trying to figure out how to do folders n stuff. You can ask me anything too if you like while I figure it out. ^^
Hey guys, gonna take a break on the Nhizi's Chronicle series
Posted 10 years agoAfter 10 full pics, I don't want to flood up my gallery with only one theme, I want to keep up some variety, so I'm gonna work on some more furry based content for the time being.
Don't worry, the Nhizi series is fully planned out, and will be coming back!
I can go on for another ten pics right now, but for the sake of variety, I have to take a break and be sure I don't hit burnout on this series, otherwise it will bog me down and it can take several months for me to return to it.
Also don't worry about the XtremeZone comic, that is still being planned out and it takes alot of gumption to beast up ~200 pics for it. I just need to get that straightened out, I'm getting to the point where I'll hit upon that soon. But for right now, Nhizi's Chronicle I have a solid plan ready for, with a character I like drawing, so its fun to work on right now. Plus it gives me a chance to work on interesting angles and try new shading techniques to help improve myself.
Thanks for sticking around with the series so far, it's not over yet! ^^

Yep, still nibbling on that candy corn for more than a year.
Posted 10 years agoIt tastes good.
Anyways, how are you?

8 Years and 100,000+ Pageviews!!! Thank you!
Posted 10 years agoHey guys, sorry I have been absent for a few months, been more or less busy and debating on pics to post, especially since I have been doing painting experiments with Liikra as of late, kinda wanted to do more, but I have been too busy to paint more pics.
But anyway, apparently I have hit 100K pageviews sometime in early September and I am very grateful for everyone into helping me with that milestone! Makes me feel very happy and thankful for all who stuck around even tho I haven't been present as much as I should. I have been pretty busy. o.O
Also its worth noting that I am considering opening commissions in the near future, more or less debating on prices atm and how the hell PayPal works. lol
But yes, thank you to the ~1700 watchers for sticking around with me through these 8 years! I plan to do more, and heck, I may even get around to working on my one comic series again once I get some more time off.
But, really, thank you, this means alot to me.

Thank you for 7 years and 80,000 page views everyone!!!
Posted 11 years agoWow, seven years since I started posting on FA, time has flown. and 80,000 page views! Sorry for the lack of updates, I'll be sure to post some pics for you all for the time being. Been kinda busy as of late.
Unfortunately. I am very sorry, but XtremeZone Episode 2 will be postponed until on or after January. I have been quite busy with classes, it needs much of my attention and I can't juggle a major consistent project with class assignments.
So the comic is on hold until classes are over or until I have some time to work on it. The good news is that I have the story figured out, so when I do have the time, I can resume it with much less of a writers block.
Thank you for staying with me for all these years and I could never have done it without your support! ^^

Current Status and Updates
Posted 11 years agoHey, its been a while, been busy with juggling a lot of things. Most importantly with XtremeZone Episode 2. I'm sorry to say, I may have to delay the comic past its scheduled release on October 28th. For two reasons:
One: I'm still ironing out the story, I have been for a while now and I don't want to rush it or move like a bullet train with drawn frames with the story being a mess. I really, really want to put the story first for these comics, otherwise they may end up a waste of time for the viewer.
And Two: Its been gnawing at me for a while, I don't want these comics to be a burden, its one of the reasons why I have been slow with updates lately as I am constantly thinking about it and the subsequent future episodes. I like making comics, but as I said, I don't want to beat myself up over this.
I want to be more active as well. And I need to make some extra cash as well, hence I am going to announce 3 commission slots soon. Not now, but soon, so keep an eye out for that Be sure you are able to pay with Amazon Gift Card money. I cannot accept Paypal for the foreseeable future, otherwise i would have done this a long time ago.

Commissions are now CLOSED.
Posted 12 years agoHey everyone, as you can guess by the title, commissions are closed for the time being. Reasons are that I really need to work on my own projects at this time. I have a comic in the works and I really need to bring back some of my old characters from the past. I may work on a commission if the idea is right, but I really need to work on stuff I want to do right now. I'll reopen commissions when I run out of ideas... Thanks.
6 Years and 60,000 Pageviews! Thank you everyone!
Posted 12 years agoHey, I'm sorry I have been gone for 5 months. I have been pretty busy and I haven't made much art, I devoted most of my time to the XtremeZone Comic, plus school has held me back a bit with production. I love drawing comics and if you guys enjoyed the XtremeZone comic, I will continue to make more. I have some pics I'm going to post soon, so don't worry.
Thank you for 6 years everyone and the 60,00 pageviews

Commission Info for JUNE 2013 Status: SPORADIC (Tweaking)
Posted 12 years agoCommissions are off and on right now, and the payment is very funky atm. You have to pay in Amazon cards as I dont have a paypal nor functional bank account atm.
I usually pay $5 every half hour of time spent. And I offer discounts on ideas I really like or enjoy working on.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10644823/ this is about a half hour of work $5
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10549650/ this takes a half hour to an hour $5 - $10
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9881249/ An hour and a half $15
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6122722/ Two to two and a half hours $20 - $25
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9956818/ this pic took three and a half hours, so its $35
Complex pics with detailed backgrounds can take a log time:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10645249/ Despite the fact I used a sketchup model for this pic, it still took three hours to make it work with the pic in terms of destruction and detail. $30
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9927997/ sequenced pics such as this are like $35 per frame, each frame is 1000x1000, so the whole thing is $140.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7946863/ SAI and http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5731884/ OC5, these Color-Shaded pictures are off the board for now as I don't want to push my wrist too far for intense shading. Plus my colored pics can rack up to 8-12 hours, $80-$120. I want to see if I can shorten it.
I have limits too, I can only do 5 pics at once. Until then, you have to wait until I'm available, or I am willing take on your ideas again, especially ones that catch my attention.
As for new characters, a new character that I have never worked on before in the past costs an additional $10 as I need to practice said character. A character "practice" sheet is often created and presented prior to the actual commission to be judged and tweaked.
Just remember, I use 3D to aid me in perspectives, I can give you the preliminaries before I start drawing to give you an idea of what I'm drawing.

My Process in Drawing Pictures http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10647621/ Whoa, whoa, whoa!?
Posted 12 years agoToday is Paw Day? Crap. Thats like...what I do.....dangit. Lemme see if I got somethin.
I got my new pen! ^^
Posted 12 years agoI got my new pen in the mail! It arrived four days early!
The new pen handles nice, its lighter, smaller, and doesn't cramp up my hand as much as the larger grip pen my tablet came with. I can shade faster with it as well, this picture only took 16 minutes!
The pen just feels so natural and familiar to the pencils I used during my old comic years, there 11 Minutes was my record for a small 3 cell comic strip.
The pen I got is the Wacom Classic Pen (Special Edition) for Intous 3. it cost me $45USD, I had to pay for it with the commission money
yellow07 provided for the Orca Stomp Sequence.
Thank you Yellow
I have tested out my new pen with these pictures, have a look. :3

Its my Birthday again! :3
Posted 13 years agoHey everyone, sorry for the absence again, I've been quite busy with classes, I usually have no time or the urge to draw. Just wanna say "hello" and to let you know I'm still here. ^^
Its my 5th Anniversary!
Posted 13 years agoHey, sorry for the long absence...I've been busy and in a bit of an art slump, I haven't had the will to draw in weeks...lack of inspiration. :<.
So I don't have much prepared for today, but I do plan on releasing some old unreleased content over the next few days.
So thank you everybody for the 40,000 pageviews and 870 Watches! I really appreciate it! ^_^

Character Name Change Announcement
Posted 13 years agoI am renaming the Babs and Buster god-characters from Stephan and Ambrosia to Buster and Babs...and listing them as "Fantasy" characters where as, they are Babs and Buster, but in a different alternate universe, like in the Mirror Universe of Star Trek or the Negaverse in Darkwing Duck....
I was uncomfortable calling characters that I don't really own with different names...it made it seem like I was stealing them for myself, and I don't want that.
Characters such as Babs and Buster was a demand for me to do...after I redesigned them to look older and mature, I wanted to call them by their real names, like I did with Tails, but I was conflicted with the fact that they are not really those characters seeing that they were "gods of another realm" so I renamed them....
...however I never liked the names and it didn't sit well with me, so henceforth, Goddess Ambrosia and God Stephan are now named Goddess Babs and God Buster...and listed as "fantasy characters."
Now, for Goddess Liikra...technically Liikra is designed differently than Gadget. (Liikra has 5 fingers, 4 toes, shes is also a redhead with freckles) So shes noticeably different than her counterpart, so Liikra will not get a name change, but you may think shes a fantasy character, technically she is...but I may make a true Gadget fantasy character...and who knows...the two may brawl with each other...or share a moment...

Poll for a new character(s)!
Posted 13 years agoI want to create a Minerva Mink and/or Fifi La Fume Character, however, should I continue the trend of making them goddesses? or make them evil Queens, or have one as a goddess and/or a queen...you decide!

Stomp Icon FLA Files RELEASED!!!
Posted 13 years agoHey, if you want to have your own Stomp Icon, you can make your own now with the original FLA Files!
These files contain both CS3 and CS4 versions! (CS4 doesn't work with CS3, but CS3 can work with CS4 and higher!)
I specifically recompiled the FLA files for CS3 use, if you guys are still working with the Macromedia versions and below, I can create versions of those as well!
The CS4 versions are the best versions to work with, but the CS3 versions will need you to edit a few more frames than usual.
Included are one Three Toed Version, 2 Four Toe Versions, and a bonus file which includes the Babs version!
So if you have Adobe Flash Professional or something else that can fiddle with FLA, you can now make the icons you want! If not, I'm pretty sure you ask someone who does!
Hopefully, these files will work out for you!
Also, when you are done editing your stomp, be sure to export as a 100x100 GIF Animation, and be sure to keep it under 50kb in order to post it on FA.
BTW, the files are inside a 7zip file, you can download 7zip for free! Here: http://www.7-zip.org/
7Zip files also work with WinRAR!

Some basic Flash editing skills.
