I've decided to make a Patreon, if you wish to support me that'll be amazing and I look forward to making great art for all my Patrons :D https://www.patreon.com/YamiDokuro

If you don't want to read a bit of history about me fuelled by my current depression, don't fucking read it :/

I've had a rough yet stable upbringing, as a child I was always moving about because of family and never settled in one place, when I got my own place I planted my damn roots. Living on my own though has been hard. When I left college I had to claim benefits while searching for a job...and searched and searched and searched. I never found a job, I still to this day have never had a job and I'm now 27, I feel like utter crap because of it, like I'm never going to accomplish anything in life.

When I got my own place I was still claiming benefits and had to pay everything myself, no help. All my money goes on bills, I'm lucky to come away with £10 spare cash which usually goes on travel. Being unemployed my only comfort has been games, they are the only thing keeping my sanity as my health got worse and worse from just giving up on looking after myself because what was the point. My mental health has gotten worse with depression, anxiety, sleeping problems and now diagnosed autistic, it seems like I'm slowly losing to my own mental state.

With games being my only form of comfort and area I can excel in I usually put money towards it but I just can't, I can't afford much anymore, I can't afford new clothes, new things for the house, if something breaks I'm fucked. I had to borrow money from my family just to buy new pants because my zippers broke on 2 on the same fucking day, I had those pants for near 6 years though.

I draw as you can see and have always wanted to draw and make some money off it to earn myself some nice things, nothing major, maybe a new game, some new clothes, heck a fucking pizza is a godsend >.> But anyways, the point is I wanted to -earn- and not be given it out of sympathy. I'm not asking for pity with this journal, simply an understanding of my situation and why I might seem a bit depressed and defeatist with myself, all I want is to enjoy inexpensive things or even if I don't want anything, earn some extra cash and be generous to people.

Sad story time: I can never afford anything for Christmas, I come across as Scrooge sometimes to my family because I can't buy them nice things yet they do for me, it makes me feel like absolute shit that people see me as selfish.

I'm going to put up some info for these and leave it so people can feel free to contact me about them if they want.

YCH: I might do this sometimes, I'll post up a rough sketch, preposed and people can only buy it outright, the price will be pretty low, about $2, $3 if the character is complex which I will tell the buyer before they pay. YCH are infinite use so anyone can buy them or multiples of them, it's not first come first serve.

Commissions: Same prices as YCH, $2 and $3 for complex, the only difference is you get to dictate what's on the picture and get regular updates about the state of it so changes can be made.

PWYW: Basically the same as a commission but you pay whatever you want, just like a Humble Bundle, just tell me the details and I'll draw it, to stop people paying barely anything, there will be a $1 minimum, I know, it sucks but getting paid a penny for 3 hours work is just as sucky.

Requests: I will rarely do these, unless you're a close friend I won't do them, feel free to suggest stuff though and maybe I will draw it when I'm out of ideas.

All Pictures: All pictures come in my normal style, flat colour, no/simple background. If you want a background, tell me.

Payment: Payment through Paypal only at yami-dokuro[at]blueyonder.co.uk Send a note with what you want and feel free to talk to me over Twitter or something to see how things are going. I tend to ask a lot of questions to make sure everything is good for you :3

I thought I'd update the front page a bit with a small deluge of my thoughts on a matter, that matter is an issue I have with most MMOs.

Let's use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) technique to nail this one down.

The situation is that you've taken a break from an MMO for quite awhile, let's say a couple of months or longer, you return to said MMO and your task is to get back into the swing of things and it ends there, there is no real action just a result, confusion.

When you come back to an MMO after awhile there's no transition period back into it, you end up completely forgetting what your abilities do, your equipment, your quests, the zones, what the hell you were doing last. This issue makes MMOs hard to break from, you're afraid that you won't be able to pick it back up again because you don't know what you're doing and just waste sub time figuring stuff out again especially if there's been major patch cycles.

I'm not sure if this is the same with all MMOs but I know quite a few I play have this mentality of just dumping you back where you are and you have no clue, a sort of reintroduction to say what you've missed, what you last did, heck even a reintroduction tutorial would alleviate this problem.

So please, share your thoughts on this matter in the comments or don't, I dunno.

So guys I had this fucking amazing idea, totally original and never done anywhere on FA, basically I'll sketch out a shitty outline of a pose alone or with someone and slap the words YCH on it which mean Your Character Here and basically you pay me £200 and I'll slap on some of your fursona's colours badly and maybe shade the shit out of it so it looks like a polished 3D shit then send you a digital copy while huehueing over how gullible you were.

If you took any of this serious, go see a fucking doctor, your need an injection of common sense.

It's time I wrote a journal, haven't done so in quite a while.

Lately I've been having dreams about certain furs, sometimes it's about furs I hardly know and sometimes it's furs I know well, the common element though is that it feels very vivid and real to the point I can remember it for days to months at a time.

The first dream I had involved  adilor and  threeinone

The second dream I had yesterday involved  tigeris_tiger

Adilor is a friend I know, Tio is my daddy and Tigeris is just a watcher I barely know, three completely different furs and relationships.

If anyone wants to know more feel free to reply, note, poke me on any media and I'll share excerpts from my dream diary.

1st March is approaching and these coupons will soon be useless and I can't afford anything so I'm giving them away, first come first serve.

I have:
25% off any Valve title
50% off STORM: Frontline Nation
50% off Brink
50% off Global Ops: Commando Libya
and 25% off Stronghold 3

These coupons can stack with current offers so let's say Portal 2 is on sale for half price and it's £15, the coupon will take 25% off the £15 instead of making it 75% off overall.

Anyways, if you want any of these, hit me up on here or my steam which should be on my contact info and tell me what you want.

I'll just leave this here http://signup.leagueoflegends.com/?.....ae812020642385


If you ever wanna join me and Garthy playing some LoL we play on EU-West, my name is YamiDokuro and his is Azzriel.

This journal will catalogue the ones done and a teaser of who's next.

So how do you get one? Simple. Your whore this journal, make a deal with the devil (me) and post a comment (not like I expect people to actually whore this)

So yeah, there you go, away with you now.

PS. Post a ref or I can't draw you and also, choices are at my discretion so don't bitch if you didn't get a FREE piece of art >.>

Ok, people are being chosen by utter random, dice roll :3 So here's the teaser list-

1st Day- (Theme: Tree)
2nd Day- (Theme: Messy)
3rd Day- (Theme: Wet)
4th Day- (Theme: Silliness)
5th Day- (Theme: Gold)

12th Day- Clow (Theme: Drums) http://www.furaffinity.net/full/7040223/

Does anyone actually use that Onlive shit they advertise on Youtube like a Facebook virus?

It seems to me that popularity amongst babyfurs is measured by how many family members you have

Person A- I have 2 daddies and 6 brothers
Person B- I have a daddy and mommy
Person A- Haha, you nobody

Above scenario didn't happen but it's what might happen, the one with the most family will just shun those with none and hang out with their family (which I doubt they have time fo...oh wait furries, right)

So my 2 pence, people with huge families are popufur wannabes and also babyfur artists that are popufurs too, I hate both now, they really tick me off somehow

This is a question aimed at mated people but can answered by anyone really.

Let's say you have/actually do have a mate and you both know each others RL names, which do/would you prefer to call them by, RL or fursona name?

Myself I prefer fursona names but I use RL names amongst family etc

Go here http://www.humblebundle.com/ and you can get 5 indie games for whatever you wish to pay and you control where the money goes to, so go donate to something even if it's a penny.

This isn't a free art journal, sorry I'm not an attention whore.

I would like anyone who even reads these or cares about me and my art rather then themselves and free art to help me out with a little russian roulette thing. I have no say on this I want you to respond with what I should draw Yami doing/wearing/anything. The first five will be drawn eventually and credit given where due, if you manage to stump me and I can't draw it (Don't bother making something ridiculous up just to do this) I will offer you a sketch of your choice, if I do manage to draw what you ask then you get a pic atleast, just not your sona ;3

Also I'll be open to character sheets like mine and Brexx's, they'll include front, side, front clothed, genitals (or without if cub), basic description, likes, dislikes and statistics. If you'd like one I'll take a pay what you want commission for them, just note me or reply here.

Art trades I might do depending on if I'll get something in return, I've been duped too many times.

Why do people post journals about free art and put such tight limitations on it, do you want to draw free art for them or play games with them, the recent ones I've seen is you have a 'CHANCE' to get a free sketch or something, that's bullshit and leading people for free views and dashes hopes if they're not picked. If you give out guaranteed free sketches to all involved but limit it to like 10 people that's fine, 10 people get sketches and the ones who miss out will try again. I find a first come first serve attitude is better then an essay of questions for a slight chance at something. /rant

I've been on it for some time, transferred some arts over

https://inkbunny.net/Yami

This must be some magical timing or something but...on these two days the following happens.

Incarna, the major step forward in EVE is released
Firelands patch 4.2 is released in WoW
Beat Hazard Ultra is released
and Tides of War patch 1.3 is released in RIFT

Must be some major game patch conspiracy day

Stuff happened at home and I desperately need £21 by Wednesday somehow, I'm willing to do emergency commissions for the cash, anything helps towards the cost and I don't ask for much from people, help a moogle out and send me a note if you're willing to help me out of this.

SOE has given away 45 days free game time for anyone with an Station account and registered games that use game time, I managed to get free time for Everquest 1 and 2, Star Wars Galaxies and Planetside even though I'm not an active subscriber :D

So we've found the cure for cancer and it turns out to have been right under our noses. Oh but what's this, we can't have it because the companies won't make money off it, greedy fuckers, this world is so driven by fucking money that they won't distribute a cure for one of the most deadly diseases rocking the human race, that is heartless beyond measure. Thanks fuckers, thuckers

So, doing these Nyan Cat things got me back into doing pixel art (which I love) so here's a small journal, there'll be slots open to nab some of these awesome arts be it nyan cat or original pixel stuff (by pixel stuff think old FF battle sprites kind of pixel art)

Also, I'm just gonna stick my paypal on my profile, if anyone feels like donating anything after I give them a request or just feels generous be my guest.

Also spread the word, I don't care how. Just remember I'm a babyfur artist first everything else after.

Now the slots-
