Been waiting for the FA+ renaming feature but it's taking forever. Doing this rename the old fashion way, so I'm moving!

New page is https://www.furaffinity.net/user/wackyzacky

Also have a linktree for other sites.
https://linktr.ee/zackfox101

There are a number of reasons to move accounts but some reasons are-
-Wanted a cleaner name. (No numbers)
-Wanted to untie Zack from only being a Fox.
-Less confusion as people may go to the user "ZackFox" instead of me. (I met him IRL, people have gone to him thinking it was me)
-Because I feel myself growing/changing as a person and believe the page change will help in my mental wellness.


All new art will be posted there. Only one planned for this page is a official moving image.

My Twitter has mostly been for lurking on. If I go making things again, might post WIPs on there? Would it be a good idea to make a separate Twitter for my art and keep it away from my weird like list?

Anyone interested, it's https://twitter.com/ZackFox101

For the moment, WIPs would be of a fursuit project I'm grinding through.

Heads up! In maybe a week or two, I want to clean up my galley. This is a warning that you'll have a week to save any of my older art that you may like. Both main and scarps will be cleaned. PvA stuff will likely remain up for archiving purposes.

My goal is to replace what's removed with newer art. I feel some creative juice's returning, but maybe in a different style. Another goal is to be more creative, healthy and creatively healthy by the end of 2022.

Hey, been a while since drawing. It's been quite the year. Most been dealing with my mental state. It might be getting better. Talked to a doctor. Maybe I'll go on meds.

But yeah, drawing. I feel one of the biggest hold backs is a sense of perfectionism. I don't know if that makes sense with my art but it's something I struggle with. Also I feel I need to be fast at art. (but currently I'm not that fast.) I have slightly different tools for doing art so don't have the options other artists have by default.

I've tried drawing quicker and as to be expected, results aren't as nice as the way I'm used to. Just that my normal way is rather slow, doing the lining and getting it just right. Pen strokes don't do pressure ether, I have to do that all manually.

I donno. Maybe I should do an example of fast vs normal drawing speeds? Am I thinking too hard? I'm just... tired of the thought that art takes so long to do.

Imagine a Planet.

You look down on it, it is a desert planet, all and all. On its surface, countless miles of barren deserts of many kinds. Most of it uninhabitable to most forms of life. Only the hardiest lifeforms lead a slower life. If it's not desert
land, its lava-scared lands and active volcanos becoming the only mountains on this planet's surface. Then there is the singular huge ocean which resides in a massive divot in this planet. Along the line where the blue ocean meets the sandy deserts is the only place you'd see green on the planet.

You'll also see towns as well as cities! And not just starting out. These places are quite wealthy areas of nice homes and buildings. If there is a place anyone would want to live on the surface, it's here. It's near impossible to live out in the vast deserts. There might be a hand full of water holes that connect to the ocean while people can live by. More likely are mines and refineries. Large industrial areas where the only goal is to work. No matter if one worked down in the mines or in the surface refineries, it was all dirty work.

Imagine the planet as a whole now. Imagine being on it, perhaps on one of its deserts. Now you look up into the sky and see. There are floating islands. Yes, floating in the skies of this planet are floating landmasses of many sizes. The smaller sizes being about a city block. Some of the largest rivaling that of Australia. They all have one something in common. On their undersides, large crystals are seen. They have the power to be lifting all these landmasses and the cultures that live on them. Indeed on these floating islands is where most of life live.

From cultures that prefer to keep things easy. To islands that are dedicated to farming. Islands for the rich and islands for the poor. to large cities of all kinds. Many areas where if you didn't know, you wouldn't even have a clue that you were on a floating island. Literally could go your whole life without seeing an edge to the island you are on. However, go near the edges and you'll see some of the tech made due to living on floating islands. Airships are still around. Personal aircraft, even forms of flying cars and hoverbikes. All had to be made to visit the neighboring nations.

Now I'll build a picture. Imagine yourself looking out from one of these islands. The sun is setting, the sky is yellow going to red. You are looking at another island in the distance. The sun on the other side making you view of it, a silhouette. Below it is a glow of red hues as an active volcano is busy spilling lava onto the lands below. Around it, an industrial complex that is using the lavas heat to help produce materials to sell.

Such a sight may be a common thing, on the planet of Macwuar (Working name.)

A thought keeps coming to mind and puts a weird twist onto the world regarding media. But first we must imagine.

So imagine if you were to live in a world of dragons and you were a Viking. Then events happened and you and dragons became friends. (Referring to How To Train Your Dragon) You would be in that world but only aware of that world. Things like dragons and Viking battles and wonderlands exist, but things like TVs, phones, cartoons and such don't exist.

Put that thought aside and now imagine being a rabbit in a small group of rabbits. Running away from your home because one of your fellow rabbits had a vision of disaster. Having to find a new home which that rabbit also had a vision of. (Referring to Watership Down)

You can basically take that logic and apply it to any movie or show, animated or live-action. Rather the worlds depicted are happy-go-lucky or dark and grim. I get the feeling that being here, as a human in this human world. It can be viewed like we have access to windows of other realities. Because when one thinks about it even from the viewpoint of science, Everything can exist (With infinite universes.)

So then there is another version of reality where the How To Train Your Dragon world is reality, but they wouldn't be able to see the world of Watership down. Being able to view a window to that possible reality is available to us here as humans. As with the rabbits in that world, the world of How To Train Your Dragon doesn't exist to them.

Or even in this case. In the Star Wars edit about who shot first. In infinite realities, there would be a set of realities where Solo shot first, and then another set where he didn't. It's a weird twist because they are both windows to other realities, yet humans have the power to craft which reality that window portrays.

Had a few different things in mind and a bunch of ideas starting clicking together... Like a bunch of lego bricks!

So take Judy Hopps, maybe diel the design slightly back into the feral side and make her a hare. Put this new Judy Hare onto a spaceship with her own power armor like with Metroid. Then try adding in elements to make a reason for a game happening there. Mixing in inspiration from the likes of Alien, Resident Evil and Prey.


-Gameplay-
That as the framework, now some gameplay details which makes this all interesting. There is a reason I choose Hare over Rabbit. In my eyes, a hare would have greater movement abilities than a rabbit. I picture a character quite agile and fast. A character who could jump on the spot to great heights, easily wall jump. Probably could make their way up an empty elevator shaft if need be.

Yet she is fast, and can get faster with an idea of a "sprint" button which makes her even faster with the drawback of not being able to attack. Her limber body isn't good at taking hits from enemies. On her own, her playstyle would be a survival horror-like. However, here's where the Metroid inspiration comes in. Her power armor suit is where her firepower is at. True, it's slower and heavier to play with, this suit is the key for advancing the game. Pieces of the game would revolve around navigating this suit around, upgrading it and possibly repairing it.

One idea is getting in and out of the suit. What could that bring? How about it being faster to take off the armor than putting it back on? Perhaps it can be "Add-on" type armor instead of a full suit, like Samus's armor. What if when you are in battle and HP is dangerously low, you can bail from the suit and use the character's speed to flee? Having you come back later to put the suit back on when the danger is gone. The power armor could take noticeably more time to put on too. So you can't just put it on with a bad guy right behind you. Idea is to find a mixture of both Survival horror and run and gun horror ideas.


-Characters-
Well, I went over the "Hare Hopps" idea. I think I see here as one within an organization. Unsure if of military, government or from a company. One thing is for certain, she worked hard to get to where she is now. Could mean her position, or reputation, or both. She is in a position where rabbits/hares don't normally occupy, or the place she's in doesn't recognize a hare's talents. Might be a normal thing for others to call her a rabbit not getting a hare and a rabbit differ.

As for the other characters in the world. Unsure of rather I picture them being humans and Hare Hopps is an alien to them. A mixture of human and alien/animal, or just all alien/animal creatures. If in the case of all animal characters, rabbits would be more tech guys or generally occupy less physically demanding roles.


-Plot or events-
Since this game idea as a whole came to me just now, I don't know what kind of plot there would be. I'd want to figure out something that stands out, which maybe tricky being that there are so many existing space game stories out there. Maybe I'd lean more on the idea of the plot being in progress when you start the game. Like the game not starting at ground zero. Perhaps the thing coming to wreck the place has been on its way for a while. Maybe find some sort of twist to the protagonist/antagonist angles. If a company or government is involved, what twist could be had there?



That's it for now. Just thought I post and archive the idea here.

This might just be a vent, but whatever.

This has been more building up since before 2020 but that year hasn't helped. I ley here a broken man. All tires flat it feels. Drive is gone, too many roads on my map. Upset at myself for not picking. I don't know what's happened to me.

I was excited for 2020 to change myself around, get myself Kickstarted again, and yeah. 2020 was an unexpected year, more so being me moving house. Thought the energy from that move would have carried me into making more things to share.

Now, 2021, I'm just here. Not knowing what to focus on. So many ideas. Like art, costumes, game designs, stories. My head explodes with libraries of ideas and my body"s just here... Doing nothing. I don't know how to get myself to do anything. I'm just here, frustrated with my idleness. I'm not even entertaining myself these days. Not being engaged with anything. Imyscared of just idling the rest of my life away, just being what I am now.

I say to myself "I want to do this" and "I want to see that". Yet distraction grabs me by the balls.

I'd hope I'm at rock bottom of this rot but I feel there is still lower I can go.

I don't know what I need. Sympathy? Self help? A mentor? I've joined a mental health group via zoom but that makes me feel worse. More alienated and convinced no one can help me with my feelings.

So 2019 turned out to be a funk for me, but as the year went on, I did get more art done.

For 2020, I plan to get right back into the swing and then some!

Got a few plans that are about to be launched. The one I'm most excited about is comics, which is for the time being, what will be supported by Patreon donations.

One hiccup about comics is that now Patreon has issues with unwilling/fatal vore which was my plans with such comics, so I will have to post them elsewhere. Current plan is to post them for free but with an ad page that ways why donation on Patreon keeps the comics coming.

Never the less, I do plan on setting up Patreon perks for donations, such as commission discounts and the ability to commission, even if Commission slots are filled. (As long as at least you've been charged on Patreon at least once.)

Other things to be shared on Patreon are concept designs for the game projects that I intend to return to. Once I've learned more coding and such. The comics are to up my art skills until I can afford some programming courses.

That's it for now. Happy 2020 and let's make it full of awesome stuff together!

Am I the only one that felt like I was going through Disneyland, but was stuck on a highspeed train?

For a while, I've had a Patreon but I never officially gave it it's big opening. Like posting on my submissions that I have it and stuff.

Thing is, I've been unsure if I have enough ideas to justify shouting out that I have one.

So do I need to make a posting schedule? Do I need to post X amount of art on it per week? Sketches? Patreon perks and/or sketches? Video game project progress stuff? What about things I should avoid posting?


I'm here to listen to anything people have to say. Could really use some help so I can use Patreon properly.

Hey yall!

I like new years, it helps to be a big date to put forward big goal setting, and I do have plans to put into motion for the coming year.

So like I did for 2018, I again plan on drawing daily, Rather it's starting a new sketch or putting work into an existing one. I want to at least practice once a day again. I made it pretty far into the daily drawing challenge last year so I'd like to go at it this year.

The bigger project I wish to tackle is connecting and being more open with what I'm doing. Not only with art and stuff, but also sharing my life elsewhere and connecting it all. Like do you guys know I'm into fursuiting and have fursuited at cons? Do you know I build my own suits? I have a twitter too and that's just been for reposting things I like. So for you guys who do like seeing the sides of me that aren't just the vore art side, I want to incorporate all those around me too.

Along going with the theme, I'd like to try a few other things too, like when playing a game, streaming it with you guys. That will only require a capture card since 95% of my games are console based. (That and an AV to HDMI adaptor for retro consoles)


That's it for now, thank you for your time!

Yeah, long story short. The place I was working got me stressed, my temper boiled over and I yelled at a co-worker. Pretty sure I would have been fine but I knew if I stayed, I would have been pushed to do worse in the future.

So, I quit!

From now on, I will be running. Running from the 8-hour labour world, and I'll be diving into my creative mind to do it. My goal is to become as creative as fuck! Make value and just do what I want! Game making. art, costume, doesn't matter. I know what I'm running from now.

For the time being, I'm making myself a schedule and a priorities list. Taking everything I want to do or buy and putting it into perspective. That is my goal now, and I will make things happen, no matter the cost!

I'll post some updates soon and links to a company page. I'll be starting a company that will cover both fursuits and game development. Stay tuned!

Most likely PvA concept art. Maybe some other ideas. Anyone want me to do it?

These ideas are on background/ability grounds. Zack would look exactly the same.

It's been a habit to picture Zack having encounters with various characters from animated movies and even a very scenes from us furs here. With those, I dipped into the idea of Zack having abilities and a bigger backstory. That being said, I ended up going all out.

Basically, other people would see him like a God. Zack can have powers to do all sorts of things and be practically limitless. He can travel through worlds and dimensions. Survive being vored, digested and even reform himself. Along with that, he can change his appearance at will too. Species, size, colors, genders, etc. (though prefers to keep his colors.)

For character, even with these powers, Zack would actually soft or hard lock those abilities depending on the world he's in. For a world like Zootopia, Zack might limit himself as an average Joe and mingle with the locals. In the next world, have all abilities unlocked and battle demons in a fantasy world.

The core point driving Zack's character is pure exparance. Like wanting to exparance and live these adventures. From the quiet and peaceful moments to the exciting think on your feet moments. Zack would want to see, feel and love it all.

Yes, I understand stand there is a type of stigma against making overpowered characters, but I feel Zack's character is just growing into this. (Or maybe he was because amd I let such thoughts hold him back.) While he would be overpowered AF, I am considering a backstory that gives creditability to his powers.


I'd like to hear your thoughts on these ideas! :D

I love guessing games and one of them is "Name that song", coupled that with wanting people to guess that song and there came this idea.

Now keep in mind that due to my work schedule, I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to it (Or it can wait until my work contract is over.) but if I do it, I'll post warnings on when I'll do such a stream.

Okay, so the idea is to run a sketch stream. Once enough people are in, I start running the contest. I play a song, you name it, you win a free sketch! (Up to two characters.) Simple as that. I'd think it be fun for both me and you guys. Also thinking there could be a few different levels of songs. Like a "No brainer easy" level to "Super rare of you to know the song." Also, I'd try limiting music to video game related music or from cartoons and movies. More rules could be like No indie games/cartoons unless they have a following; or if nobody guesses the song, I get to pick the next sketch.

How does the idea sound? Does anyone have any ideas of their own? Feel free to share! :D


Edit: There could be a space where I can draw clues to what the song is from.

Edit 2: Idea; Draw round, where it's something like everybody ones and the first one to say it wins!

Maybe pre-digestion perhaps? It's a little hard to label. It's a bit of a 2 part digestion too.

So for anyone who doesn't know, I am somebody who likes digestion with my vore. (especially with the weight gains afterwards.) but there seems to be a certain version of digestion that I like that doesn't seem to be popular. Although it just be because it doesn't show well in art form.

So when it comes to digestion, most artists portray digestion happening ether within a few hours or over night. Me on the other paw like longer digestion times. A week to even a month depending on the pred/prey combination. The next part is more the unpopular part.

The part I really don't see is a pre-digestion compression which doesn't use stomach acids. The point more is the stomach squeezing in and compacting the prey into a tightly packed meal, easier to move around with. During which none of the prey is digested at all. The strong stomach muscles roughly massage the prey and may even dislocate or break some bones in order to compress them tight enough. It is very unlikely for larger prey to survive a compression since a same size prey would end up looking like a tight beer belly.

After this point, the prey has more mobility while their stomach joices get to work actually converting the prey into nutrition. Coupled with the long digestion time and that is my vore sweet spot~

As I said before, this seems to just be a digest setup that only I am into. I have seen some people who portray long digestion times and there are verious artists that draw quick stomach shrinking times. (although I'm not a fan of lava like stomach acids.) I can sometimes pretend it's compression but most times the clues point at lava acid.



Just wanted to share my opinion. Curious if anyone shares my idea here.

Hey there guys!

An update on how things have been, I've gotten myself a full-time job for the remaining of this year. I need the money to pay off some debts. My last job, while low in hours didn't do well for my finances. Had to rely on credit cards for buying things and now I want those cleared. It's not much compared to other peoples debts but it is affecting my life.

Along with paying off debts, I also aim for this job to help get my active energy up so I can hit the new year with a good creative boost! After the job too, I'll have to figure out which plan to go with, either to stay with the job and bank some money to start a business, Find a much closer place with part-time so I can have a steady income, or make money by doing art, fursuits, games, etc.

In the meantime, my weekday free time is short so I'm not doing too much. Only thing I wish to do is get my drawing count up to 100 drawings for this year. I'm already around the 60 mark so, might as well go for it, eh?

"I got to do because I like to do, if I enjoy what I do, the means to do more of what I like to do will find me."


This saying came to me, and now I believe I'll be rearranging my life around it.

Some item ideas that would for a different kind of vore game.

For a while now, I've been taking down doodles and notes on verious game design elements. Tonight I got a rush and had some good insights for design elements and then it hit me. I will make myself a bible of game design!

So scaring out as a scrap book of doodles, I will study game design and take notes on all the various ideas already existing. When the book is to a good point, I'd like to combine it all and make it into something like a text book. A book filled with ideas to help fellow game designers newb and pro!

Hello, I would like to share somethings that have been going on in my life in where it is heading.

Things are looking good and plans are panning out! Now, first thing is job. I have applied for a new job as my current one isn't serving me. My current job is a double-edged sword, as I don't work many days, but it's a lazy job. It fails to keep my mind working and leads to procrastination habits. Although it allows me to have a lot of home time, those procrastination habits appear and I'm not as active as I'd like to be. Thus why I've applied for a new place of work. I've already been accepted and start on the 30th. This weekend shall be my last at the empty job.

My reasonings to get a new part-time job is so I can build my own schedule with a side of keeping my mind engaged. Eliminating the procrastination habit while building confidence in my ability to create. Aiming for proper structure in my life so I can pursue the things I really care for! Game Design, Art, Costume Design and other things I might not realize I enjoy. That is why because I know I need the responsibility of a job to reinforce my design of scheduling. I believe scheduling is key for getting the things one wants, which is why I'm building the bases for my future.

I appreciate all your patience with me, those of you who wait for more things from me. I look forward to sharing the talents and drive of a newer me with you guys!

Thanks for reading!

For the past week, I've been putting together a little something for the 1500 watch milestone! It's almost ready at 95%. Just need to clip on and line up the last part, and make artwork for the FA post. Really excited to share it this week!

So, my Patreon is bare. I'm going to fill it and here's my plan for this week.

1, get used to adding things by putting up PvA scrapbooking stuff. The now unused art from the Pokemon aspect of the project.

2, Get an animation compilation ready. So all the vore animations can be shared! Yes, the sprite animated ones and the game over ones. (That I've already made.)

3, Get the first idea of Patreon mini projects ready to show you guys! (In playable form!)

4, Make some more freebies stuff to help you understand the value I am aiming for with my Patreon!

My Patreon here https://www.patreon.com/zackfox101

My link upfront, but if you are okay with reading, all my promises and reasonings are below!

******

Okay! So getting right into it.

I finally created a Patreon!!! Why? Because I want to fulfil my desires to be a video game designer!

Yes, As the first PvA has shown, I can please people with my designs, even when not targeting the vore audience as that game was centrally based on. While PvA is facing the change to becoming its own IP, there are other smaller projects I'd like to tackle too and share with you guys, and I WANT to make them as best as I can! I want to give you guys the most value I can, and in return, I hope you guys will see the value to support me. Helping me to turn my hobby of game design into a full-time gig! Not to bore you guys with a long story but after looking into other ways of making a living, game design is the place I want to build my living from! Even just recently, putting time into one of the mini projects I'll be offering on Patreon. I got that sense of drive that I've been missing!

I only just started my Patreon, and here's an example of what I WILL be offering on it!


-Access to dropped content and animations that were made for POKEMON Vs Aliens before the change. (Including Vore Scenes!)

-Concept and WIP for game projects. Plus finished/polished are for Bronze Badge holders!

-Early access to the B-Game projects! (My hobby game projects not meant for selling.)

-Progress build sneak peeks at my E-Ticket game Projects! (To be cut off at certain stages of development. Don't want to be spoiling the whole games.)

-Free download codes for all E-ticket games when they hit the market! (Only for Gold Badge Holders)

-Credits for your support in funding my projects.

-And much much more as I think of new things to add!


What I want, What I REALLY want, is to offer you guys value. I want to build and share works of great value! That is my dream now, to live and build great works around me, and you can help me! With your support, I can build my craft skills and build valuable experiences, both in videogame and in art forms! It's what my passion is pointing me towards, and I know I can do it. Do you know I can do it? I have a couple screenshot from one of my mini-projects to show you.

The town for a project I am eager to show soon as a playable demo!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a7hozju3r.....0Town.png?dl=0
(Note that Obj sprites aren't shown. Stuff like flowers, Pokemon Lamps, etc)

A Diner from that town, Owned by that Purple Lucario character that's been popping up in my artwork!
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j8u55tnh0.....Diner.png?dl=0

Do notice the scale and detail going into these builds, and these are the hobby builds! I'm going even further with my E-ticket builds. With these smaller builds, I can both share them with you guys and study them myself to understand what I need to build for my big projects. It's a win-win, and all the win gets bigger with fan support! When I earn enough, I can quit my job and do this stuff full time! That's the only dream I have right now, and I'm going to fallow it! I will build good works, and give people valuable experiences!

I hope you are interested! For the next week, I'll be working on building my Patreon wall. Filling it with rewards and valuable things, along with the game those screenshots above belong too.
So if you are up for it, or just want to watch to see if I stick to my words, please check out my Patreon page, and I look forward to serving you!
