Hey guys, I have returned. I've been kinda doing art rather slowly and simplistically. Ever since my wrists inflamed in late July, I haven't been able to pull off any major projects, just simple shaded ones like you have seen last year.
I can still do the shading, but I don't wanna push myself since I got a lot on my plate at the moment. So yeah, I've been working on a some simple stuff and plan on doing more.
You may see some plain outlines from me and some simple colored pics, other than that, I may not be doing anything major in terms of shading such as the Goddess Violet pic I made a few months ago. Classes has resumed, so my timetable and priorities has been shifted and since I am now working on simple stuff for the time being, I'm going to try add as much content as I can before the year is over.
Also, don't ask for icons...anymore...I still get notes and it pains me to see people asking for icons long after I said that I don't like doing them and I do them sparingly...also this surge of icon interest is swaying me away from animation...seeing how my stomp animation gained a sudden upheaval of personal requests, I only made the icon for my friend  animeloverchaos exclusively as a gift because of an old icon dispute he and a fellow user had...now its out of control...STOP ASKING FOR THEM, I'm done, takes too much time out of my hecktek schedule, even if its just a color swap. I'm gonna compile a FLA project file of the animation, hopefully for those who want an icon can then make your own.
Sorry if I seem angry, its just a bone I have to pick with the community. So sorry to those who wanted an icon for me, its as painful to me to let you guys down, even after the long waits...though since its me, a guy who can barely keep up with promises, its easy to understand.

Hey guys, I'm sorry for the long absence, but class just ended and my wrist is feels likes its pinched up and it hurts...so I'm gonna keep pictures low key for now, because I got a lot of drawings I wanna get done before class resumes...and I don't wanna kill my wrists even more with alot of coloring and shading. As for the Icons, I wanna give people the FLA, but the thing that concerns me is that are people able to modify it easily? because it took my years to figure out Flash...and I can tell you, its not easy.

Guys, I'm getting swamped by icon requests...it may take a while to make you all icons seeing icon making is really cutting into my art time, I didn't expect to see the icons to be as popular as they are. And "no" to anyone who suggests that I make these icons for money...I wouldn't want to pay money for a tiny icon. Plus I want everyone to have a fair deal to have one...its just, its gonna be very slow, I use my free time to draw pics for my gallery, but the icon making is really budgeting my time to the point where I lose motivation. So please, if you NEED one, not just want or just to have....PM me the info on the character and color palette...

Also I'm open for Ideas for my next pics...now Ideas are not like "requests" where you ask a personal idea for a pic. I mean I'm looking for suggestions...preferable to the characters that I have in the gallery at the moment, though you could suggest other characters...however I'm only looking for situations and ideas for my characters to exploit at this time.

Hey, I'm letting you guys know I'm gonna icons for a limited time being because its taking away from drawing. So if you really need an icon, just let me know, but if its just for the hell of it, please don't keep me busy. Ask for an icon if your gonna use it, not just to have it.

I never knew that scat and watersports was a demand from many user, so yes. I will do some scat and WS pics in the future once I finish up a few pics in the mean time.

JUST A REMINDER! Since FA has changed its thumbnail options to practically useless, I may not be able to warn people on the thumbnail itself, so keep an eye out for warnings in the Title!

I've been asked many times from many people that I should try out a few macro pics with Watersports and Scat. i like the idea and I have several ideas for my characters relieving themselves over a populace or a few micros, however, I know its a pretty touchy fetish and I know a lot of my watchers may or may not want to see this from me...So I'm curious that if its alright with you all?

I've been having a busy month so far, I have pics I need to trade over to my clients, though I'm still waiting on their end. So right now trades are closed for now, I have a few Trades in reserve atm, so I'm capped. For the time being, I'm going to do some pics of my own. I really wanna bring back Princess Violet and Malodora for a few pics, I've been thinking about giving the poodles a bit of a redesign to make them more dog-like faces...also I spoke with  Frakass and I may remake and continue one of his old unfinished macro Tinkerbell comics in the future, dunno whether to post it here or not though since Tink is a fairy... But anyway, I'll see if I can pump out more pics in the future for you guys.

I just got done with some classes, and now I'm available to return to do some art...however, I still need downtime, last week was rather stress-full.
As for trades, I still do them...HOWEVER....I just finished 4 trades.......and I still haven't got my end of the trades yet...which means I'm suspending trades until I get my end of the current trades.
I only do trades for stories, unless your willing to do an art trade, I'm open for it...its just, if you con me into doing a trade and you don't complete your end of the bargain....I will never do another trade with you, and I will never show you your picture, Ill just delete the picture and lock up the original files and put them deep in storage locked under a password...and worse, it will piss me off mostly because of the time and detail I put into the pic....all down the shitter.
So if you think you can get a free request under guise of a trade, .......give me a minute, I'll think of something mean...just don't do that to me, its very demoralizing and I just may stop doing trades and it'll tick off potential (real) traders.
Please, don't trick me like that.

Sorry for the lack of updates, i have made some pics, just a little hesitant on posting them atm...Just been very busy with school, catching up on private trades, and been drawing some pics for myself such as some giantess Jessie from Pokemon...idunno...just been tired.

Also, some jerk sold my AIM account address...I'm flooded with bots...I am not happy. I am going to remove may contact info...if you want to contact me, send me a PM, I am happy to talk to anyone who wishes to talk to me :)

Also, about "The Harvest" story and art. I'm taking a break on drawing pics for the story as of this time. As for Part II for the story,  animeloverchaos and I have decided to take a break on the story as well. We may start writing again in the summer.

Many of you have asked to use my characters in your art...I'm absolutely fine with it as long as you cite me and not portray my characters in a bad fashion, such as killing them, rape, or violence towards my character(s)...

I would love to see characters such as Malodora or Obbie be used in others arts...but I'll leave that decision to you. Just remember my charcaters like feet and loves to squish tinies underfoot. :3


My new Tails is working great it seems, I want to use him more...so now I'm gonna try to get back to finishing my request list seeing that the main hitch is out of the way.

Many of you want to see me do a few macro Tails pics...He and Rouge got the highest votes in my survey. Although, seeing how my pics are very adult themed, an adult Tails pic is impossible to do on FA due to its rules of under-age furs in sexual situations in the AUP.
So, I cant give him privates...but I can make him older! So right now I'm designing a new "adult" Tails for my macro pics...
I can still do the classic Tails for macro pics.....but I cannot make it adult in a sexual sense, so they have to be tame.

Soon I will make a WIP of the new Tails, and I'll launch a Poll on how he should look, like the number of toes, accessories, feet size, schlong size, eye size, etc... and I'll go accordingly to the people's decision to make the best adult Tails possible!

Thank you everyone for their support over the last four years, I know its cliche to say but it really seems like it was yesterday. :-P

In honor of my fourth year here, I have redone and updated my very first submissions of the "Walk in the City" with Madeline. I don't do 3D as much as I once did anymore, but this is aimed for my old school fans who followed me during my 3D years.

You can find the pics here:

Also in case you haven't, I have a survey for you guys to fill out to help me in with my future works and characters. Its quick, fast, and free. Don't answer more than 3 or 5 answer per question. also the text boxes are optional, you don't need to rely on them as an answer, but it helps.

Here's the Art Improvement survey: http://www.kwiksurveys.com?s=OIKNKK_debd5202

Thanks again for all my fans who followed me through these last four years!!! :veryhappy:

Here is a survey to help me choose whats best to draw for you!

http://www.kwiksurveys.com?s=OIKNKK_debd5202

Its a quick survey, and its free. It should help me choose whats best to put into my future art and characters.

Error solution!: Remember, don't rely on text based responses in the multiple choices, limitations force you you to choose at least one answer before typing in a "other" suggestion, I'm sorry, but there is no way of getting around it.

I wanna thank everyone for their support with me these last 4 years. The 28th marks my 4th Anniversary on the site. :-D
I have a few things planned for then. So for now, I wanna thank everyone for their support!
Here's to another 25000...

Commission Info:
Commissions: Closed
Trades: Open, Stories only...
Request: Closed, though I like to hear people out on their ideas...

Lately, I haven't been much in a mood to do full fledged pictures, so Ive been sketching out some pics to pass the time...So I'm gonna halt some current requests for now, such as the Blythe 10 pic request...I seriously need a break from drawing him...and Poodles in general...those pics really drained me...
So, the character designs that I discussed before, I'm still thinking about it...and it maybe a while until you see them in action...but for now, I've been practicing the Warner Bunnies, Buster Bunny in particular...I really wanna make a few macro pics of him...I may do one with Babs or Lola in the future...but there is not much Buster macro content out there. I created an older version of Buster so I can use him for "adult" pics. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6411395 though he still needs work.

So yeah, I've been feeling rather tired this month, hopefully I can get back to do more serious works.

I'm puzzled on a new character...should I go with a herm pig macro? or go with a herm poodle? So right now I'm taking a breather, I will continue my pics soon, I just need more time to rest. Thanks :)

We'll, right now, I still have a few Blythe pictures to crank out for  jc-the-hyena's request...and for a while now, Ive been wanting to do a few more Obbie pics as well...which leaves us straight men SOL....in other words, you may not see another female from pic..until later next week...I'm straight in RL...but I love macros in any gender...and I love Obbie and Blythe...so for right now..its mostly male stuff...sorry...stay tuned!

Also...I'm toying with the idea of another herm character...right now its in the early stages...and I'm thinking....a Pig.....we'll see.

Oh, yeah..EVERYTHING IS CLOSED FOR NOW!!!!...though I am accepting Ideas through PMs. Thanks.

Hey everyone, some people asked me about my ever-changing styles and character studies, and how and why I go for some looks and why I design characters the way they are...
So I figured I may say something about it...I may rant a little about some stuff, but its strictly opinion...

Okay...here goes...

Style is always changing for me...I like to try new things until I find a niche that I'm comfortable with...I used to be a cartoonist for a paper a while back, and my Editor and Chief wanted me to pump out 5 comics every day and pick the best one...comics are very tough, I always look back on Garfield for good 3 cell quips or Gary Larson's The Far Side for inspiration on quick one cell comedy...though I don't do comedy in my work, but its still a good place to start...

When I did the comics...I had to draw them out with pencil on paper...and I give it to a guy to ink and scan...seems rather awkward for another guy to ink my work...but the truth is, I'm very..very..bad at inking...to the point where I don't touch marker anymore...but for the drawings, there will be days where I don't have my comics done..so I rush through drawing them to get them finished in time...in which I can draw out a 5 cell comic in less than 10 minutes and still look like it took me an hour...it was hell.
But it gave me some skills on quick drawing...though my proportions and perspectives look off in many cases...
When it comes down to style...I'm well practiced on mimicking styles, and I pick the best parts of every style and put them together to make my own...

Detail is a big thing for pictures...I only want to emphasize on detail in the places where its needed, otherwise, there will be too much to look at, then the picture becomes cramped and becomes very distracting to look at...
One detail I MUST put into my macro pics where 80% of artists don't is people and bystanders...you can argue that micro people are difficult to draw...to be honest, they are not...if you can draw a 100ft tall macro rampaging in a city, surly you can draw a stick man running away beside his paws...Micro people give the macro a more broader and clear sense of scale, not to mention, its more realistic...I'm not saying that all macro pics should involve people...but when they don't, its makes it look like that the macro waited for the city to evacuate and then decided to have fun...which...seems rather odd...yet too generous...

Squishies or Crush People is a must for me...though people do make good points on that they like their pics to be clean of violence, hence why I do variations on my pics to give my fellow fans and the audience the option to pick the one they prefer.
But still, squishies are a must for me...you cannot have a macro going on a rampage and not step on someone...though I would accept it if the macro took ballet at some point of his/her life...
Like I said, many people prefer their pics to be free of violence..and I respect that, hence why the variations...

Now, for my characters...
Yes, before I say anything about how I design my characters...they all like feet, I'm a feet person... :-P so I must incorporate that into their design...

Character design is a very long process for me...If i want a character who is Snooty, a Princess....boastful...etc...I design the character to those personality traits...When I designed Blythe, he took forever...I had to draw many versions of his hair and face to get the look I wanted...many of my friends look at Malodora and see her as very dominant...I try my best to make her looks and expressions reflect traits such as that...

One thing i try to avoid is really buff and hyper macros...Somehow it doesn't click with me...I always design my characters as "Average Joes" who find the power to grow, shrink or such. It makes more sense that a geeky guy, invents a shrink ray and goes on a shrinking spree rather than a guy who is incredibly built with muscles doing the same...The odds of a really super-strong guy finding the power to grow...is very remote...unless they are gods in some fashion...another reason is that I cant draw muscles for sh--.

Aliens macros is one thing I like to use...mainly because its very plausible in reality...in the future, we could come across a sentient race of intelligent beings who are 1 inch to 500 feet tall compared to us...there is no defined law on how tall life can be...look at dinosaurs...heck, 3 mile tall aliens could come to Earth to colonize and wipe us out with bug spray...its grim to think about, but it is possible.

Another thing with characters is the type of species...Foxes, Wolves and Dragons are by far the most common macro species artists use...in the past, I had to resort to mainly foxes due to the Krystal model in my earlier DAZ works...but now, I try my best to give the audience different and unique species of macros...Malodora is technically the first macro Poodle on FA...there may have been a pic or character I missed, I don't doubt it...

I like macro rabbits, though they are very common as macros in many respects, my character Oliveri is a gay bunny with a shrink ray, those aspects gives the character a unique spin which makes him stand out among the many macro rabbits...
So, what I'm trying to say is, Its ok to have a common species...he/she just needs to unique in some regard.
Right now I'm deciding whether to have a macro Pig herm character...

So, I like to make characters based off of unique species or characters from cartoons and such...which leads to Gadget Hackwrench from Rescue Rangers.
Goddess Liikra is me and General Macrophilus's version of a Macro Tribal Gadget Goddess. I don't want to tick off Disney and pump out a slew of macro pics of their character, so me and the General created a new character based off her face design...sure, she looks like Gadget, but she is not. But I still credit Disney for their inspiration...

How I draw and such...
I use Paint Tool SAI to do my current drawings, I used to use OpenCanvas4, but the pictures turned out rather messy and was hard to color with...I sometimes use gestures to help out with proportions...though, since that I prefer to draw POV shots rather than traditional "sitcom-eye level" shots, I use DAZ Studio to plan out my drawings to get the proportions correct and use the models as guides to draw, its very efficient for unique shots which are tricky to do normally...
My Tablet is a Wacom Intuos3...which is very slippery and difficult to use..(I lost the tips) My strategy in using a tablet for precise control is these two things...if you want a paper and pencil feel...put a sheet of typing paper on the tablet and draw on it with the tablet pen...it gives it a feel that your drawing with pencil...
For extra and the most precise control...place a mouse-pad on the tablet and draw on it...the firm cushioned surface offers better pen control like no other...
I have the two thumb buttons on the grip of the pen set to (Bottom Button: Move Canvas, Top Button: Undo) and I have the mouse's right click set to color picker...It rather easy having the controls like this...though you maybe more comfortable with your own...

Back when I was using DAZ, every picture I did, I try my best to top my last pic in some fashion, whether it be pose, design or style...I still use that method today...I'm not trying to be better than everyone else...I'm trying to be better than myself...if you try your best on outperforming yourself, you may notice a positive change in your style...hence, your getting better than you once were...
You may notice since the switch to Paint Tool SAI, my quality in pictures have decreased....I was going for realism back when I was using OC4...But Paint Tool SAI is a whole new program...it will take me a while to get back where I once was with OC4...heck, It may look better when I do...

So that's my style in a nutshell...I'm probably not the best person to take advice on art though...I'm not an art teacher or Leonardo DaVinci, I'm just a schmo with a tablet who like to draw macros stomping people...but I do take my art seriously...I draw only what I'm motivated to do so...But hopefully, this gives you some idea on what I do when I create characters or design new ones...

Thanks.

BTW about the paper I used to work for...
Eventually, the paper took up new management, my page was merged and I was let go. Now, I'm unemployed and looking for a new job...and living with my parents, I never did move out, I was planning to this year, until I lost my job...Now I'm taking some college classes to get in the door to some better jobs...I cannot tell you what paper I worked for...I will get in trouble...

I wanna thank everyone for this! Thank you! This is a big deal for me!!!
There are more pics coming soon!! I promise!!!

Within the next few days, I maybe doing nothing but drawing...video games are no fun anymore...though I may wanna re-install Deus Ex....yeah, someone mentioned it...but I am open for suggestions and ideas, PM if you got any, I'm always open. :3

Refer to this Journal for and Request or Trade Rules: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2430722/

Thank you.

Commissions are Closed
Trades are OPEN...Kinda...but I only trade Stories, since I can make my own pics. :P
Requests are Open...To An Extent...I will NOT do fursonas OR personal/private characters OR comics OR pictures not related to macro/micro...I'm only open to requests for my characters atm...why? New characters are a hassle and a nightmare to design and get right...especially if I'm only going to do it once and never again....plus I would have to be forced to do them...which means they would be rushed and not turn out so well...
Plus I want to work more with my new program...and I will feel more comfortable working with characters I know...

Sorry for being strict, but I think is best to have some kind of requests open than requests not open at all...

If you have a request...send a PM...but if you want to monitor the progress and receive extensive updates on your pic and give input, contact me on one of my messengers clients...

AIM: xtremealice07

I will NOT do any commissions that are not related to macro/micro, nor will i do any fursonas or your personal characters for free, its a hassle. If I like your idea so much, I may do it for free. :)

And to let off some steam...
Please stop asking me to do macro Danny pics from Cats Don't Dance, yes, I know he's my avatar, but I can't picture the guy as macro...a micro maybe, but please, don't mention him. I'm Sorry for yellin.

After six months, I've started posting again...School has been very tiresome...My requests and commissions are still closed...as for the current ones...don't worry, they will get posted soon, but I am in a pickle with a Tails pic I have to do, the new AUP rules have red tape around the character and I'm afraid if I even make him look older, the FA feds will bust down my door!!!! So that's me in a nutshell ATM...

I cant leave my house!!! AHHH! NO B-DAY DINNER!!!! D:

So I've been drawing stuff...

Happy groundhog day too... :P

Thank you everyone for the support!!! I plan to release more pics within the next month, including a few secret projects! Such as Project Princeton and Project Queensland. Not going to reveal too much about those two until I'm done with them :3. The Esperyon Kingdom is still coming too, don't worry, I haven't forgotten. Thanks everyone! Thank you so much ^_^
