So this week at work, it seems it might be a little too busy to actually doodle in my sketch book each day, so to keep doing one a day, and to help spread the word about my commissions sorta, i will be offering 5 free digital sketches.



The first 5 to comment on here get the slots. Will be first come first serve and i will work on them in the order i get them once i get home after work. Will be at least one a day minimum i am aiming for. If for some reason i feel particularly good and decide to do more than one a day and finish my queue, ill open the slots again.

ASSUME THAT I WILL ONLY DO 5 THOUGH.

If i do open again, it will be for as many slots as there are days left for monday to friday. So if for example by tuesday night i finish all 5 sketches, i will update this journal and offer 3 more slots. So keep an eye on this, but again, assume i will only do one a day and ony do 5 total.

ALSO REMEMBER, THEY WILL BE SIMPLE DIGITAL SKETCHES. THEY WONT BE LINED OR COLORED.

So no super complicated ideas, and any super complex characters will be simplified. These are supposed to be like the quick doodles id do at work. If i cant seem to grasp the idea, ill note you about it.

ALSO IF YOU HAVE TELEGRAM OR DISCORD WHERE I CAN SEND YOU THE FINISHED SKETCH, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME, BUR IT IS NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR A SLOT.

If you do though, send me a message on either service telling me who you are here on FA so i know its you.

ALSO ALL RULES TO WHAT I WILL AND WONT DRAW APPLY HERE.



SLOTS

1: LouieFox DONE
2: hadu123 DONE
3: EagleDade93 DONE

5: AerisRoivas DONE



Thank you for your time and have a white chocolate chip cookie for reading all the way through~

*points at a table full of those cookies as i sit on my couch, wiggling my smelly toes in my old worn out flip flops*

So i think the time has finally come to open up some form of commissions to those that want art from me. And what better way to do so and attract some new people than to make them Pay What You Want commissions~



So here they are.

First available for purchase are $1 minimum traditional sketches. They will be done in my small sketchbook, lined, and scanned. They look like the ones i have uploaded lately, but will be darker so the scanner doesnt eat them. For a better example look at my twitter posts: https://www.twitter.com/leon2365

Rules:
-minimum amount to be paid needs to be at least $1 USD
-PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE
-payment will be made after i either show you the drawing, or upload it.
-payment must be made no later than 24 hours of you seeing the art or me posting it
-if you do not send payment, you will be blacklisted and banned from buying commissions from me
-nothing too complicated as it will be a simple sketch
-its a small sketch pad so max of 2 characters
-optionally may be lined in pencil or in pen
-will be worked on monday to friday when i can, bur turnaround should be fairly quick


Next up are digital sketches with a $5 minimum. Dont have examples of these as of yet, but if anyone wants to take a chance anyway, ill leave this option here.

Rules are the same as $1 sketches with minor differences:

-minimum amount to be paid needs to be at least $5 USD
-canvas is a little bigger, so max characters is increased to 3
-wont really be lined, but should still look nice



What i will draw:
Paws
Vore
Macro
Micro
Stomping
Paw worship
Stuff of this nature.

What i will NOT draw [this is in addition to the stuff written on my profile]:
NSFW
Scat
Watersports
NSFW
NSFW
Cant stress it enough that i wont draw anything NSFW

If its not on a list, ask me~

Comment below to claim a slot, then send me a note with which kind of commission youd like, idea, and a link to your ref



Traditional slots:

2.
3.
4.

Digital slots:

Well, i finally filled my sketchbook. Some of my closer friends and members of my discord server might have seen a few of them, along with twitter peeps. I have been drawing nearly daily for the past 2 months in this little book and its finally full. I decided im gonna scan them all and upload them here. Then again, ive had this decision for like the past 2 weeks, so hopefully laziness wears off soon.

Its october soon. Means i am busy lots of days going to halloween events fun stuff going down. I have this wack and crazy idea on things i want to do art wise soon, but i still need to catch up on a couple commissions, trades, and some requests. Been so busy that i haven't had a day to myself to draw digitally and properly for almost a month.

Next phone im looking into is galaxy note. Seems they usually come with a stylus which would mean more drawings and doodles more often.

And now for the random thoughts. Close friends and fake friends. Who are they really? Summer is over, yet its almost 90° heat here. Does anyone actually care if they are on my profile or not? I miss people.



Youve read through it all, now take a comp cookie and/or brownie. Got lots on the table over there.

*plops on a couch and wiggles my toes in my flip flops as i watch tv. I point over to the table for you all with loads of cookies and brownies on it*

Make yourself at home~

smol update, made one of these thingies. check it out here:

https://www.f-list.net/c/leon2365

here's a flip flop to sniff for reading~

*slides a paw out of a flop and lets the musk fill the air to tempt you*

Greetings to all my readers, followers, stalkers and such. Well, maybe not so much the stalkers. Though i can imagine they probably want ro get eaten or stomped, to which i point you to my sandwich, my flip flops, and my other places to chat with me so we can become friends rather than having you constantly just follow me around. Though if you do hide in my sandwiches and flops, i do thank you for being delicious and making good insoles~

As well as liking me enough to still follow me. :3

AAAANYWAAAAY...

So i dont really know how to use twitter, but i do have one and im trying to learn it and use it more often. Feel free to check me out at:

https://www.twitter.com/leon2365

Come give me a follow or watch or whatever its called there. Ill be posting up mainly work doodes that most likely wont ever end up being upoaded here. I might post up the stuff from here from time to time as well, but it wil be a sort of dump for those random things i do at work.

So if you want to see some possible nwver seen rark stuff, or just want to follow along with me more and dont have a telegram or discord, come and check it out yeah?

Cause everyone and their mum these days has a twitter yeah?



If you read this far, you get a cookie and a free ride in my macro flops as an insole~!

Or alternatively, a ride atop my toes~

*kicks off my flip flops and steps onto the ground barepaw.*

So then. Left or right~? :3

*My bare paws sink deep into the ground, no doubtedly forming deep pawprints as i await your decission*

greetings to all of you whom read these journals. just a quick thing. my profile is cluttered up quite a bit, so I might be changing some things around. dunno how long this maintenance will last. probably as long as I am lazy. so in the meantime, just chill and don't panic. even though I don't think anyone will actually panic.

for the short troubles, have a sniff and lick of my paws. bittersweet reward to some.

*sits on a chair and wiggles toes in my flip flops*

I just wanted to thank you all for supporting me throughout the times. Ive done a lot of bad things i think. Upset people, seemingly betrayed them, promissed art or other things that i have yet to deliver due to lazyness or a lack of motivation.

As an update on things of art, i will hopefuly be opening up for commissions formally very soon. A new tablet is on the way that should help me draw more frequently and better. A patreon page will also be made in case i ever make such a difference or good stuff that anyone wants to support me.


An update on life, it has been rough. Losing many good friends and some pets as well. Drama online amongst good friends and people all bringing me down, being ignored by other friends. It sometimes is to the point i dread my days off and pray for work instead. I feel like im needed at work. An integral part of the team in which things cant happen unless im there. Which for those of you that have taken the time to get to know me on a personal level, know that is quite literally the case.

Ive lost some good friends, and am still in the process of losing others sadly. But i suppose it can be seen as punishment for all the times ive promissed things and never delivered. For focusing on the wrong things and costing me dear friendships.

For those that have stuck around with me so long, thank you. I knoe i must be annoying to a lot of you and you might even wish to kust get rid of me al at once. If that does end up happening, just know i dont blame you. I probably deserve it. As punishment for all the bad stuff ive done. The friends ive hurt. For focussing on the wrong things.

Thanks for reading this wall. Have a free cookie as a reward. Theyre on the table as always. Or for some, ill be sitting right here and you can fee free to take a sniff or lick of my flip flops and paws. Heh..

my friend is looking for ideas on how to make oral vore more interesting and has made a trello board for others to submit their ideas.

anything you think could make it more spicy than simply *picks up and swallows* is appreciated. you can submit ideas over here:

https://trello.com/b/Y5axF4cW/vore-ideas

to get your imaginations rolling, one person thought it would be interesting that if you were eaten in a dream world, youd be eaten irl as well.

can even be something silly and over the top or wacky such as avoiding being eaten by a giant mon or creature and if you are eaten, all other normally small mon or creatures will now be macro and terrorize the planet.

give it a shot if you are interested.

i was just wondering as I have been struggling with myself for art, are the doodles I put out enough?

sometimes I wonder if they are liked enough, or if people prefer more full pictures instead of just sketches.

what do you all think? is my art enough?

I've seen ither people do it, so why not me as well eh?

My birthday is on April 23rd.

Dunno why anyone would want to know, but there it is.

Leveling up soon i suppose.

Greetings all. This is a journal for a friend of mine.

 bastienL's computer recently died and as such he will be away until he can get it fixed, or get a new one.

Just a heads up so you dont get too worried about him.

greetings everyone~

small update. made a trello a while back cause wynaut, and I am now going to use it to keep track of things I am working on. its a very tentative thing for the most part, but the queue within is pretty accurate to what I will be focusing on to catch up to my work.

you can find it here:

https://trello.com/b/UQf7SNJg/rark-arts

idea pool is where the requests will go from now on for me to reach into when I'm bored. I may have journals in the future to vote for what I work on next from that idea pool.

commissions to do are people that are interested in commissioning me but either haven't paid me yet, or I haven't told them to pay me yet, ie, not working on it yet.

queue line is what ill generally be doing, in the order listed as I complete my other works.

WIP is what I actually have some work on and need to finish. generally I only list works for others and not my own in this category.

that is all for now, have a muffin for your troubles~

*points to the table of lots of cookies from last time, now has muffins on it*

so the past week has simply been the worst for me.. drama over on telegram has had me down as of late. every day I have had off, ive been prevented from doing art because drama always killed my motivation to draw. it has gotten to the point that ive WANTED to go to work just to distract me from it all and because I actually feel wanted at work.

the recovery process from it all has been incredibly slow just because all these incidents of drama have been spread out neatly over 7 days. just when I though I might be getting better, something else would come up and drown me in sorrow again. ive at least had a couple of friends that have been sticking with me through it all, and to them, I thank you from the bottom of my hear, tummy, and soles. you are keeping me in once piece and making sure I don't fall deeper into this hole.

to everyone else, please don't feel bad. we all get busy, and its impossible to keep up with everyone. I am but one person that isn't very high on the list of friends to talk to for many others. there are better friends to talk to, closer ones, ones you've known longer, and that aren't sad and possibly bringing your mood down to. so please, don't feel bad. its perfectly alright.

anyway, enough of that rant. onto more productive duties.



so I now also have a telegram group to go side by side with the discord server for those that prefer it, or don't have a discord. because lets be honest, discord is perfect for home, but the mobile app is terrible. XDD

for on the go chatting, and faster chatting than the mobile discord app, come on down and give the group a try.

you can find the group by following this link:

https://t.me/MegaServer1

hope to see some of you there~



thank you for taking the time to read through this all. have a cookie for your trouble: *points to a table of cookies with hundreds upon hundreds of cookies. most of which will probably go to waste as not nearly enough people visit me to get one*

Greetings.

I want to thank you all that commented on my last journal and those that contacted me personally as well. It means a lot to me that you all care so much about me. I am feeling a bit better and am continuing to rise in happiness as time goes on.



Also, i decided that the last server was too closed off, so i made a new one that im hoping will be a much better place. It is an open server that will cater to anyone friendly and willing to join. Paws, vore, macro micro, toony stuff, fun to be bad all around~

So come on down and join up. Have a fun time and talk with me and other awesome people and artists. Feel free to invite your friends as well via this link:

https://discord.gg/pTfexaz

Once you join, just tag a mod or myself and we will give you access to the full server. This is to keep the trolls that roam around out, and to keep it a safe and fun place for all to hang out.

I look forward to hopefully seeing some of you there and making new friends as well.



Thank you for reading everyone and have a good one~!

After so much time spent trying to make friends with everyone, i think i finally have made it to the end of my friendliness...

I feel like i put so much effort and love into being friends with others, but a lot of them dont seem to put much effort into me...

I fear i am losing my kindness and am going to give up on a lot of people. A lot never message me and when we do talk, its only for a little bit. Not to mention they seem like they rather not talk to me.

I understand though that not everyone likes me and there are more important people and better friends they would rather talk to. Try as i might, im not sure i can get to that status in their eyes.

All this could of course just be unfounded... i guess i am sort of asking for opinions as well.

Am i too nice? Do i expect to much of people? Am i just boring?



Thank you for your time, and sorry if i soured any moods.

Greetings~!

So i decided to make a discord server dedicated to zoroarks and fans of zoroarks. It is brand new and just starting out, so there isnt much. But i do hope to make it into a fun place for all rarks and their fans to chat and hang out~

Will include art gallery, voice chatting, gaming, and much more. So if you are a zoroark, or a fan of zoroarks, come check us out at:

https://discord.gg/fxNJWtZ

The place can only get off the ground if people join, so please spread the word around, and lets make it a fun place to hang~



Next up, for anyone that wants to support me monetarily, i do have one of those patreon thingies. Find me at:

https://www.patreon.com/RarkArts

Apparently $1 goes a long way, so i set one up to see if i get anything. Come down and support this crazy rark and buy him food and art stuff.



Also will be officially opening up for commissions at some point. Prices will go as follows for now:

$5/6 - sketch
$7/8 - lined
$8/9 - colored
$10/11 - shaded

So yeah, all that stuff. More will slowly develop over time. Any questions you might have, comments, concerns, feel free to drop me a note or a comment.


Thanks for reading everyone. Have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night.

Greetings watchers!

So just a small update here. Work is now in full swing. I have about 2 months of heavy work left before ill have more time to draw and do other fun things.



I tried to do a drawing a day to keep my sanity during these long summer hours, but work has bested me there. So now i am just draw whenever i can. I am very slow to upload, so if you want to follow along and keep more updated, head on over to my twitter at:

https://twitter.com/leon2365

That is where i will post my latest art pieces as they come. I will of course eventually upload them to my accounts here, so keep an eye out for that as well.



Requests are still closed right now. I seriously need to stop procrastinating and get these requests done already. Once i have caught up, ill make a journal stating im open for requests again.



Now then. I just have a curiosity. How many people actually look to those little icons that say what you are into? Like do you actually look for those group things when going into someone's profile for the first time? Or is it not that important?

I was also wondering if you all would like me to actually start putting some of those on here. To state i like vore, macro micro, stomping, etc. Your opinions on this matter are greatly appreciated.



Thanks for reading everyone. Hope you have a wonderful day.



OH! ONE MORE BIG THING!

If you ever have any ideas on what you might want to see me draw, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NOTE ME, OR COMMENT HERE!

It is definitely unfair to everyone, but my inspiration works in mysterious ways. If i like the idea enough, i will draw it as soon as i read what it is. I know i shouldnt do that, but i cant help myself. You guys come up with AWESOME ideas. ;w;

well, I am not merging the 2 accounts, but I will at least link to the other non fetish account in case anyone wants to give it a peek.

it will be about 99.99% pokemon stuff though. but every now and then I might branch out to something else. and usually, all that stuff is done at work. on my breaks, or when nothing is going on at the time.


I have removed all the "unlock at xx amount of watches" as well. I thought that stuff got pretty useless as I'm not as shy as I used to be with sharing info. so yeah.


I also have now started streaming art. I will usually post up my crude sign when I'm streaming and provide a link as well. come check out the stuff I do. might be worth a look.


that's all for this short journal.


thank you for reading everyone. :)

have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night.

I know ive posted a bit about his before, but I am now seriously thinking on it.

this account contains all the paw, vore, rp stuff. my second account has only my pokemon images, but none of them pertain to paw, vore or anything like that.

so do I keep the stuff separate? post the paw stuff here and the non paw stuff in the other account?

or do I get rid of the other account and post everything here?

on one hand its easier to manage one account. just upload away and what not.

on the other hand, each account seems to be dominated by different types of watchers. here you all like my paw stuff. over on the other one they like my regular pokemon stuff, albeit I don't have as much exposure as it is a relatively new account.

so I COULD upload my regular stuff here, but would anyone like to even see that? or would you all prefer only the paw, vore, rp stuff here?



thanks for taking the time to read everyone.



have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night.

Greetings everyone.

I am now 50 watchers strong here, and i have to say, that is amazing. I never would have imagined when i first really started using this site that i would really make it anywhere, let alone amount to 50 watchers. It honestly does mean the world to me that you all like my art enough that you want to see more of it.

Every watch I get really gives me the motivation to keep on going and make more fun drawings for everyone to enjoy. It also really touches my heart that some people follow me without even really knowing much about me. Or at least I assume that. Lol. I think ive seen a few people that ive simply sent a note and then they immediately watch me. That is just so awesome. :)

I am almost at 3k views as well. That is pretty damn sweet. Even just each of those views gives me a nice boost in morale. They may not all want to watch me, but they thought I was interesting enough that my profile deserved a closer view.

Right then, 50 watches also means that my music player of choice has been “unlocked.”

My preferred method of audio indulgence is an ipad running ios 8.4, and secondly an ipod running ios 8.5.1. I am notorious for NEVER updating my idevices. The only one I consistently ever update was my first ipod touch, but that was because back then, nothing major changed when updates rolled out. Or at least nothing with the music app.

Now however, too many things get switched around with the new updates, including the music app. I LOVE the way 8.4 handles music on an ipad. It’s what ive always wanted back when I had that first itouch. I can listen to one song, while browsing to another album, and then having that album up on deck to just select the song once the one im currently listening to ends. Just small tidbits like that which really help me listen to music my personal way is what I love about 8.4, and why I will never update that ipad. The ipod is not as good, but it’s a smaller form factor to take with me to work, so I use that most of the time.



Finally, ive come quite far since I first really started using this place. Ive made so many new friends, gotten a ton of requests, and its really been a lot of fun for me. I have gone from traditional art to digital art, and that is quite the transition. The ease of which I can erase my mistakes digitally has led me to the decision of getting a tablet for drawing on my PC. I believe ive come as far as I can using my surface 3 to draw. So now I will be purchasing the tablet to use with a better paint program as well.

I’m not sure when ill get it, or when ill start making art on it for this account. One thing is for certain though. Once I do get it, ill be able to stream it. This tablet couldn’t stream a sack of potatoes, but my laptop can stream at 1080p without breaking a sweat. The only reason I stream in 720 instead is because 98% of people cant handle simply watching 1080. Be it their internet or device itself is lacking the ability to do so.



So that’s it for this journal I guess. If anyone ever wants to chat, feel free to add me on skype. Seems like a lot of people mainly use that for chatting. If you REALLY want to chat with me often, please send me a note so I can give you my main skype account. The account I have on my profile info I used only when im home. My main one is reserved for very close friends and people I believe really do want to chat with me more often as I take that account with me everywhere on my phone. Be it work, or when im just out and about.



A huge thank you goes out to all those that have wished to become my friends, and i hope to make many more in the future. :)



Thank you for reading everyone. :)

Have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night.

So my friend that i did the paw pals RP with decided to come out of anonymity.

I updated the description and added his name in place of "anonymous".

Just a small update, but a welcome one. :)

Here is the link in case anyone needs it:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18926642/

Well, the stream was pretty fun. Got a turnout of 1 constant viewer (thank you very much  wolfwatcher7654, i look forward to seeing you there again in future streams. :)), and several others passing in and out.

Since my streams wont really be related to anything on here, i probably wont post up the link anymore. If anyone ever is interested, you can just ask me for my twitch, and ill note you the link.

Future streams will include games such as doom, duke nukem, gears of war, sonic adventure, just to name a few.

Ill still post it up on my other account though. Since that account is for general "art" not related to any themes like the stuff on this account.

Im going to work on getting a mic, that way i can at least talk to the viewers that way. A go pro camera is on the top of my list of things to buy so that i can share my not so pretty mug with you all. Or at least my hands when i play rocksmith or guitar hero. :p



Thanks for reading everyone. :)



Have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night.

Well, i will be going to my first furry meet ever on the 20th of this month. Pretty excited for it actually. But in order to know why its so significant to me, id need to update my profile info some more. Hopefully ill get around to it before the meet actually happens, and ill post a more in depth journal on the matter.

This has nothing to do with anything on this site, but in other news, i have decided to stream gameplay on my days off from work. For now, it would be for only about an hour to an hour and a half. So because of that time constraint, ill mostly be streaming rocksmith.

I have a crappy webcam, and i dont remember where i left it, so you wont be seeing or hearing me any time soon. If youd like to tune in, youd be settling for just the game itself.

First day im going to try and stream will be february 12th at around 2pm pacific time. If this interests you, be sure to check it out at:

http://www.twitch.tv/leon2365

I havent streamed in almost 2 years, so most of the info under my channel is out of date. I have since bought a LOR more songs for rocksmith, and got a 3rd guitar.



So feel free to check in and request a song for me to play in game.



Thanks for reading everyone. :)



Have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night.

I have been thinking it over for quite some time now, and I think I am going to merge some accounts. Sort of.

I made and "tested" a different FA and Facebook account. Each one pertains to different interests. For example, this FA is my first one. It will contain all the paw, vore, and stuff like that. I made a second account which I would use for non vore and non paw stuff. It would be just regular art, and 99% Pokemon related at that, since that is one of the things I can draw better in traditional mediums.

As for Facebook, I already have one main account that I've had long before I came here. That account would be to just talk with me if you wanted to. Not paw related stuff, just life and what not, work, random pictures of stuff and places I've been. Purchases I make every now and then, your average Facebook, minus the constant status updates. But I would love to just chat with you all.

I also made a second Facebook that I might use for chatting about paws, vore, and the like. That account would be used only at home, so if you wanted to reach me during days at work, you'd have to message my main account.

This is all still in the planning phase mind you, but if you are interested in such things, words of encouragement are always welcome.

Streaming. I used to do it a LOT back in the day on twitch. But after getting my job, it doesn't give me much time to stream anymore. So I want to try and get back into it. I'd mainly stream rocksmith for now, show you all how I play guitar and what not (:p), but I plan to stream other games too such as gears of war, halo, guitar hero, portal, half life 2, etc. In the future. I don't have a good webcam though, so you won't be seeing me quite yet.



Would anybody be interested in any of this stuff?

Also if anyone has any suggestions for other stuff I could do, I'm open to them. If you feel like there is something others have done that I might be good at, or would be fun to see, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thanks for reading everyone. Have a good morning/afternoon/evening/night. :)

Greetings.

I never get used to this, 40 watchers now. Oh my. AND over 350 favorites. I dont really know what to say.....

Thank you everyone. Thank you for all the love and support you continue to give me. It really means the world to me that so many of you like my drawings. You all have brought so much happiness to my life. You all keep me going during the dark times when all is gray and bleak.

And with 40 watches comes my favorite movie:

This is a tough one. There are many movies I really like out there. I guess if I had to narrow it down, id say any of the "cube" movies would be some of my favorites.

Ive made so many friends here on FA. And I hope to make many more. So if you ever just want to chat, send me a note. If you have a Skype, send me a request and just tell me who you are on here. I don't really know how to use twitter (lol), and I'm in the process of making a Facebook account.

So don't be afraid to chat with me. I don't bite, and most of my chars dont either. Besides, the ones that usually do prefer to just swallow people whole rather than bite them. :p



Thank you again for all the love and support everyone. Thank you for all the faves, watches, and kind words. It really does mean a lot to me.

Thanks for reading.

Have a good morning/afternoon/evening everyone.
