Redbubble Prices DROPPED!
Posted 8 years agoI've dropped the prices on my Redbubble shop - specifically, for my Galaxy Tiger - Overflow shirts! But, my older works are cheaper now, too. :3<
The Galaxy Tiger Unisex T-shirts are around $23 now. If you'd like something cheaper, stickers range from around $3 to around $13 depending on size! But there's plenty of other options, from mugs to phone cases! And of course, some cheaper designs, too. (My SFW and NSFW stickers might be useful for artists showing their work at cons!)

Changed Price Page Back
Posted 8 years agoJust wanted to let y'all know I've changed my price page back to the "traditional" way, of listing prices based on style.
You can view the changes here: http://zielomizu.weebly.com/artwork.html
I've also made a point to clarify some things at the top, to make things a little bit easier on everyone.
I'd like to think MOST furry characters will fall under the base prices... but I know full well there's some crazy complex characters out there, and subject matter greatly increases cost, so unfortunately, you should always expect to pay a little bit more than the prices an artist lists.
None the less, my record-keeping of how long it takes me to draw has helped me write up, I hope, more accurate prices. ^^;

Trans day of Visibility
Posted 8 years agoHey all - noticed that this is A Thing™, so decided to let it ~fully~ be known: I'm a trans dude.
"Female to Male", as people would call it. But, honestly, I don't view it quite that way.
To me, sex - that is, your reproductive organs - is not connected to your gender, which is your identity and expression.
Now, I'm not going to get into my personal views about transness. It'd be pretty long-winded if I did, and as with anything, I'm sure I'd offend SOMEONE, lol. But, I basically just wanted to "come out" for this.
I've been on Hormone Replacement Therapy for about a year now, and recently just upped my Testosterone (otherwise referred to as just "T") dose - which has helped a LOT with my dysphoria, and libido!! :'3 I'm also going to apply to get my top surgery done the next time I see my doctor, although it'll probably be a while before it actually happens.
As for my reproductive organs... the only plans I have is to have a full hysterectomy done, to prevent atrophy (which is your uterus / fallopian tubes / ovaries dying and rotting inside of you) which can happen after five years on T, and is, OBVIOUSLY, super dangerous!! But as far as other bottom surgeries go, they're just... too much of a risk for me. There's considerable risk of loss of feeling, SO y'know. I'd rather keep the ability to feel things down there in tact. =w=;
TL;DR - I'm a trans dude. We exist. Hi. :'3

April 2017 Public Work Update
Posted 8 years agoIt's a couple days early, but I know I'm gonna feel crappy tomorrow since I have to do a blood test. SO, here's the report from March!
▶ Finished Commissions ◀

▶ Outstanding Commissions ◀
- DawnFirestar Com 2: Feb 2017, Fully paid, 60% completed

- Vore YCH #13 for DarkDaxesh: Mar 2017, Fully Paid, 20% completed

▶ Other Work Finished ◀
- Remade the YCHs I accidentally deleted the poses for!
- Finished the NSFW Arcanine painting I was working on. (Will post soonish.)
- Made a mod for myself in SL in like, a night or two. A few hours lol.
▶ Personal Recap ◀
Whew, ANOTHER month that flew by! This time, because I went to Furnal Equinox 2017 - the only local furcon we can really afford to go to once a year LOL. The weekend itself FLEW past me bc honestly, my sleep patterns were FUUUCKED, although I still had lots of fun and made new friends!! (And got SMASHED lel.) I didn't buy much or spend as much money as I thought I was going to, so I still have plenty left over - which might be going towards getting my eyes tested / getting new lenses for my glasses bc I'm going blind again. =w=; I've gotta replace my glasses like, once a year now? Or once every two years. I wonder if I'm legally blind without them yet.
I... also decided to get rid of my Patreon. I'm not popular yet, so I know people aren't willing to support me in that way without me shelling out extra work for them cheaper than I'd normally do it for. And obviously, that just doesn't work for me - ESPECIALLY since I recently reverted back to my old pricing to try to get my demand back. But, alas, that has yet to show any promise - and looking at that survey I put out, I've been kinda discouraged. :'3
I, once again, don't feel like I got much done this month. But... I kind of always feel that way, and I WAS just burnt out for a week after the con. =w=; I just recently got my motivation to DO things back, so I got some good progress done yesterday, and dealing with chores I've been putting off today. As per usual, though, my back HAAAATES me. We gon invest in some muscle relaxants.
Speaking of back pain, I plan on applying for top surgery the next time I see my doctor - my parents said they'll loan me the $1000 - $2000 I'll need to get it done by the not-sketchy doctor (I'd like my nipples to NOT fall off!), and I can pay it back at my own pace. I'm unsure of how long the wait will be to get it done, but this is a BIG deal!! I'll ofc be knocked on my ass for a while after the surgery happens, but it'll be SO worth it. My chest is a BIG cause of dysphoria / anxiety for me, and the binding I have to do to not feel disgusting in public doesn't exactly help my back problems. It'll be SO nice to not have to worry about it, and just... be me. ;w;
So, in the meantime, just gonna keep on keepin' on I suppose. I'm doing my best, and getting better at handling anxious situations. Considering going back to college or getting a part-time job, but... I don't think I'm ready for that just yet. =w=;
(sorry for the long blurb omg)

#SleepingForever
Posted 8 years agoI haven't been able to get back to working on stuff yet, mainly because my sleep schedule is still fucked resulting in me being tired as hell. Up all night, asleep all day... right now I'm trying to keep myself awake for a bit after sleeping for 5 hours so I can go back to bed at a decent hour, but I'm still so groggy I could probably just crawl back into bed and pass out. =w=;
I feel bad about not working on anything since the con... I know I have to, but I'm just... so TIRED. Plus, I have other obligations to start getting under control (chores, paying my old doc to send files to my new doc, cleaning out my friend's apartment of perishable food while she's in the hospital, blood tests...) - for me, this is a LOT of work. I'm sooo not use to it, and even though I'm not feeling nearly as depressed / anxious as I was, I'm still having trouble pulling my ass up and gathering the motivation to do it all. It's just... so much for me, it's kind of overwhelming,,,
I need to work out a schedule for chores and shit... but right now, I'm tired, so I'm just going to kinda exist at my desk for the next two hours.

Return to work + Watcher Survey!
Posted 8 years agoSo, I spent the week after I got home from FE... basically being exhausted / worn out from dealing with people, lol. I've also had some sleep schedule issues again, wherein I've been sleeping all day and up all night... sO I'm going to try to pull an allnighter doing some owed work to get myself flipped back around to a normal sleep schedule.
While I'm at it, I've gone ahead and created a watcher survey to try to figure out what YOU want to see from me!
https://goo.gl/forms/DEUrdaNlGD2KBWfi1
PLEASE fill out this survey! It'll help me a lot in understanding what I need to put out!

FE 2017 Con Report [18+ for kink talk tbh]
Posted 8 years agoSO, I'm back from Furnal Equinox!! I made a LOT of new friends (including locals!!), suited around, met some more popular suiters who were REALLY sweet, got drunk... and overall just had a great time! Definitely going to need a few days to recover before I can be around people though,,, OTL
I also met some kinky folks like I had hoped for lol. I was scared at first, but just observing and getting to chat with them... I've honestly never met a group of people where I felt IMMEDIATELY accepted and safe like I did with them. ;w; So I'm going to do my best to get out into that scene more - pup play specifically, since I visited a mosh and it just looked like a lot of fun!! Also because, y'know, consent is a BIG DEAL with them, and sex doesn't HAVE to be involved. And it's just so... friendly and casual. Growing up general society frowns on this stuff as being "sinful", but like I said, never met a bunch of folks I felt so comfortable and safe around, which is saying something!
TL;DR - i had lots of fun + im becoming a puppy lol whoops

Commission Prices Lowered, 3D Assets OPEN
Posted 8 years agoDue to lack of interest, and my prices being a little high in comparison to other artists of my popularity, I've lowered my prices: http://zielomizu.weebly.com/artwork.html
I know I've had people in the past comment on how my prices were cheap, but considering I haven't gotten as many commission requests as I'd like, I figure lowering my prices a little will be worth it in the long run. If demand gets to the point where it exceeds my ability to meet it, I will raise my prices back up to where they were before.
Until then, get that art while you can afford it! ;3
I've also opened my 3D asset commissions. I'm mainly looking to take commissions for Second Life textures / parts right now, especially parts that I'd be allowed to also sell in my own store. Either way, the discussion of distribution rights / the way the files will be given to you will need to be discussed in-depth.
I may be willing to do a full character model, although I don't want to touch anything particularly complex. I'm also not an expert at rigging, so ideally you should have experience with rigging yourself if this is something you want.

Art Re-uploading: DONE!!!
- Galaxy Tiger graphic design added to Redbubble -> http://www.redbubble.com/people/ziel
- Discord server set up! -> https://discord.gg/cjXX9VH
- Patreon OPEN -> https://www.patreon.com/zielomizu
- Ziel 2017 Ref: SFW DONE!!!
▶ Personal Recap ◀
This month flew by fairly fast for me - it might be because I was still getting my accounts situated at the start of the month, it might be because I've been being more active online, it might be because I've been switching family doctors and getting my personal health finally looked after, it might be because I burnt out my energy at the start of the month.
As I write this I am exhausted and depressed - I've started new medication to help with my mental illnesses, which could be the cause, but it's probably that coupled with the fact that I've had a REALLY shitty week.
- I had to have a blood test done, and the nurse was a bitch and yanked the needle out of my arm because I GUESS I was an inconvenience to her since I have a phobia of needles and had to lay down to have it done, lest I'm sure I would've passed out. I have a big-ass bruise on my arm now.
- Then I was in my first car crash, and while no one was physically injured, it sent my anxiety off the charts and, while trying to have my weekly needle, my boyfriend was being kind of an asshole so I broke down crying and also yelled at him. But at least we dealt with the issue that caused him to act the way he had been.
- And THEN just today I found out I saved over my YCH pose file, so now I have to redraw the 5 poses I deleted, and I have NO backups, so I can't post any YCHs until those are done!! Augh!
So, needless to say, I'm feeling pretty awful. That coupled with the fact that I haven't been able to keep on top of my chores... I'm feeling like a useless piece of shit again. I know I'm not, and I know I've done a LOT this week (by my standards)... but I still haven't done everything I needed to so I feel bad and awful and horrible.
Here's hoping next month is better.

Artwork all caught up! [+PATREON]
Posted 8 years agoTo be fair it has been for a while, but until I get some new commissions done I only have ONE new piece of content to upload, which is Ziel's new SFW ref that I just finished! ^^
I'm working on a few commissions right now and certainly have plans for more... I'm not sure how I'm going to handle uploading, but I'm debating posting what I have every week on Saturday nights. Not sure! I'll decide eventually lol.
If you don't want to wait for new content, want to get access to WIPs and full-res files, or simply want to influence what I make, please consider supporting me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/zielomizu
All tier prizes will be delivered via my Discord server, because it's the easiest method for me to keep up with / keep organized, and allows me to deliver NSFW content without risking my Paypal being shut down. :'3 It also means you can talk to me directly, or maybe even talk to me on mic every so often!
Please, seriously consider it if you can afford it! It'd mean so much to me, any help I can get is highly appreciated. <3 ;w;

Fuck it, I'm an asshole!
Posted 8 years agoSo I've been back and forth on a lot of shit. But at this point I'm going to put my foot down and go: "Fuck it, I'm an asshole!" -- Am I ACTUALLY an asshole? No, of course not. It just means that from hereon out, I'm not going to give a fuck about professional victims or bigots putting words in my mouth to further their own agendas. I'm also not going to give a second thought to telling people I think are morally reprehensible to fuck off.
Y'all don't fucking know me, get fucked. 👌👌👌👌

Fursuit Coms Closed Indefinitely (venty)
Posted 8 years agoIt's official: I'm closing my fursuit commissions indefinitely.
While I love making fursuits and they'd pay well if I could, I can't do the work without major physical repercussions. This has been clear to me for a while now, but I certainly think part of that is due to the stress it causes me -- the fact that I'm put in physical pain for the next week after I've worked on something certainly isn't made any better by my anxiety telling me how awful I am for taking so long to get my customers what they paid for.
I might consider taking on projects for heads alone, because they're one of the easiest and most enjoyable parts for me to make. I know there's a higher demand for everything except heads, but it's more physical pain than reward in my case. It's simply not worth it for me.
But I absolutely will not stop making fursuits -- I'll probably end up making a bunch of suits for myself, lol. Or maybe some premades if I feel up to it. But I just... can't meet the demand of serious commission work. I just can't do it. I'm one guy doing everything myself, who's not happy doing it.
What has been paid for will be completed, and I hope to get the last of what I owe done this year.
I'm going to need to take on more drawing commissions for trips to the massage parlor. :'3

This has been clear to me for a while now, but I certainly think part of that is due to the stress it causes me -- the fact that I'm put in physical pain for the next week after I've worked on something certainly isn't made any better by my anxiety telling me how awful I am for taking so long to get my customers what they paid for.
I might consider taking on projects for heads alone, because they're one of the easiest and most enjoyable parts for me to make. I know there's a higher demand for everything except heads, but it's more physical pain than reward in my case. It's simply not worth it for me.
But I absolutely will not stop making fursuits -- I'll probably end up making a bunch of suits for myself, lol. Or maybe some premades if I feel up to it. But I just... can't meet the demand of serious commission work. I just can't do it. I'm one guy doing everything myself, who's not happy doing it.
What has been paid for will be completed, and I hope to get the last of what I owe done this year.

Re-Organizing Price Page
Posted 8 years agoJust writing a little thing to let everyone know I'm re-organizing how my price page is set up.
Instead of listing the style and the price range for that style, I'm instead going to list a price range and what type of art piece that price range can buy. This is because I've figured out that price range of a single style can vary GREATLY depending on the complexity of the piece.
So, for a price range of $10 - $20, you can buy a Teeny Tiny Pixel, a simple Chibi, or a simple Bust Sketch. I'll show specific examples of what types of characters / concepts would fall within this range, so if you're like "I just want a bust of my pure white wolf character", you'll be able to tell that your character is simple and would fall within that price range.
However, a piece of a character with complex armor, for example, might fall within the $150 - $200 price range, and I'll provide an example of that (if I have it).
If you don't see an example similar to what you're looking for, you'll have to ask me for a direct quote.
To be fair you USUALLY have to ask me for a quote anyway, but I hope this makes it easier for people who have a strict budget to pick out what they're able to afford! ^^

insomnia suffering
Posted 8 years agothese past few days have been REALLY bad for me sleep-wise
i haven't been able to sleep when i needed to despite being crazy amounts of tired and even up for abnormally long
+ when i HAVE slept it's been immediately into REM sleep / "dream sleep" -- very weird, vivid dreams
ive had sleep issues for a long time but i had a sleep study done and they said everything was normal but tbh i slept abnormally well for being there
but the inability to get to sleep when i need to + the REM sleep means im just plain not getting the good rest i so desperately need
i feel extremely tired rn but its only like 12PM and i dont particularly want to go to bed at such an early hour despite being awake all night
im gonna try to stay up a while longer but... idk how long ill last all things considering
im certainly not well enough to do any kind of work right now...
i just hope this is just one of those bad weeks for me and that ill get a decent rest soon :c

TOS CHANGE: Regarding Private Update Requests
Posted 8 years agoWhile I'd like to be accommodating, it has become apparent to me that allowing commissioners to request a private update on their commission whenever they like is time-consuming and inefficient. Therefore, I have added this section to my Terms of Service to solve this issue:
- Private update requests are limited to once a month. My Public Work Update is linked on the Home Page and is also updated once a month.
- I will contact you whenever I have significant progress on your commission to report.
I don't want my commissioners to feel scared to talk to me, but I also don't want to have a commissioner send me a note every week only to have to respond with "I haven't started yet" -- ESPECIALLY since I usually have a small queue and certainly won't start a commission within the first one or two weeks of receiving it. ^^;
As well, I've already been sending commissioners updates whenever I've gotten significant work done. I've been doing this pretty much since I started taking commissions way back when, so commissioners really shouldn't have to message me within the timeframe I've given them in the first place - they should be expecting word from me instead. (With the exception of fursuit commissions, of course.)
Anyway. I just wanted to inform my commissioners/followers/potential commissioners of this change! Of course, you're still free to ask questions regarding commissions - such as potential changes, clarification on terminology, quotes, etc! I'd just prefer to keep unnecessary back-and-forth to a minimum. :P

Furnal Equinox 2017 Meme
Posted 9 years agoBoyfrian did it so guess I am too!
Where are you staying?
Con hotel.
What day are you getting there?
Thursday
Who will you be rooming with?
My husker bf
hachiro_kenichi
Will you be fursuiting?
Yes!
Do you do free art?
No. :)
What is your gender?
I'm a dude.
How old are you?
22
Can I talk to you?
Sure! Just, y'know, be nice to me and I'll be nice to you. :Y
Can I touch you?
I'm pretty okay with being tapped/touched on the shoulder if you need my attention, and if I'm in-suit I'm okay with people touching my hands, putting their arm around my shoulders, or (GENTLY!!) petting me. But if I'm out of suit, please ASK ME FIRST!!! I'm less anxious when I'm in fursuit for some weird reason, but if I'm out of fursuit just coming up and plopping your arm around me if you're not a good friend, and I'll probably shove you away / be like "who the fuck are you??". Obv don't fucking grab me (read: grope me) without my permission or you're going to get yelled at.
Oh, and don't "boop" my fursuit nose hard. VERY gentle booping only! It's resin, so if you boop it hard it could hurt both me AND you!
Can I hug you?
Again, ask me! Just hold out your arms towards me if I'm in-suit and you'll probably get a hug. ^^
Out of suit? Again, better to verbally ask if I'm okay with hugs.
Photographs?
In-suit = YES! Out of suit = No.
How can I find you?
Look for my fursuit! I should also have a conbadge that says "Leiz" with a cat on it!
Which suit(s) will you be bringing?
Leiz! https://twitter.com/zielomizu/statu.....53098114240512
NOTE: May or may not have rainbow bangs. :3
Do you draw?
Yup! I'm also open for commissions, and SHOULD have some of my MLP / animal bookmarks on a friend's table!
NOTE: I am NOT getting a table in the dealer's den or the artist's alley, and I'm not advertising that I'm taking commissions, but it's not like anyone can stop you from directly asking me. :Y
How tall are you?
5'3"
Are you taken? Are you looking for a mate?
I'm happily in a monogamous romantic relationship. :P
I'm a kinky fucker tho so feel free to talk to me about that kind of shit~
I MIGHT also be up for doing that kind of stuff at the con, but it's all a giant "maybe".
Can I visit your room?
Ask first! I might be pretty chill this year since my anxiety has gotten better and I'm not a dealer, but I'm still an introvert and being around a lot of people can wear me thin both mentally and physically. I only have so much patience!
Can I buy you drinks?
Yesssss - but I prefer sealed drinks, or picking it up from the bar / mixing it myself.
Can I give you stuff?
Only if you really want to! I'll probably squeal at you if you get / give me stuff, but I don't want you giving me stuff unless you can afford to + I generally don't want for much! ;w; (Just don't draw me lewd stuff without asking lmao.)
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Ask first! Again, more likely to be okay with it if I'm in fursuit. :'3
Are you nice?
I try to be a kind, respectful person, but if you don't give me the same I'm not going to give you the time of day. <3
How long are you going?
Thursday-Sunday
If I see you, how should I get your attention?
My fursuit's name is Leiz, like the chip "Lays" but with a "z"!
My online name is Ziel (like "zeal") Omizu (Om-ee-zoo), but generally just Ziel or "Zee" works!
If I can't hear you, just tap on my shoulder. :P
Where will you be most of the time during the days?
Wandering, derping around in Fursuit probably. I have no set plans, but I might try to join the Fursuit Games and Fursuit Parade! Otherwise, I might show up at a "Fursuiting 101" panel to talk about hygiene, I'll def check out the dealer's den and artist's alley, and I'll try to be at the dances! (Although I make no promises if I'm stupid and get too drunk to handle it like previous years. I've got a higher alcohol tolerance than I use to and know my limits better though! :'3)
What/where will you be eating?
I'll probably end up going with friends for food, there's tons of places around so I have no idea what / where / when. That being said, please ASK if you can come along with us! I have anxiety so eating with people I'm not comfortable around is really difficult for me to do (it makes my stomach refuse food), so I might have to say no simply for that fact, and I can't speak for the other people I'm with.
What’s your goal for the con this year?
Have fun! Meet new people, see people I haven't met IRL yet, get some more fursuiting out of my system, spend time with friends I don't normally get to see!
Where are you staying?
Con hotel.

Jan 2017 Public Work Update
Posted 9 years agoHey all!
I know I posted a journal last month stating that I'd be closing my public commission list. I've been thinking about it a bit, trying to come up with a better solution, because I know how important a public commission list actually is - but I also don't want to be upkeeping multiple lists every single day.
So, what I think I'll do - for NOW - will be to post a journal here on FurAffinity at the beginning of every month stating what commissions I currently have, what state they're in, and what commissions I've gotten done in the last month. I'll also list any other work I've done, such as merchandise, since I want to start supplementing my commissions with commercially available designs.
Until I can come up with a better solution, this will have to do. I apologize if you don't like FurAffinity, but if anything my FA isn't hidden from guests so even people who don't have an account can come and check up on the commission list journal. I'll put a link to it on my website and update it once a month as well!

Uploading art of my characters from other people?
Posted 9 years agoHey all! I wanted to hop in here and ask about how you folks would feel about me uploading art of my characters I got from other people. I'm kind of torn about it myself, because while I DO want to promote other artists, I don't want to flood my watchers with art I haven't done myself, since that's not what they watched me for (or at least, that's how I feel about it).
If I DID post artwork I got from other artists, I'd definitely be posting it straight to my scraps, and have a dedicated folder to those submissions to prevent any confusion when potential commissioners look at my gallery. Currently I host my characters on my Toyhou.se, but you wouldn't be able to see NSFW art unless you got an account there and enabled it.
Part of me is debating doing a dedicated character tumblr, which would serve as both a host of art I got from other folks and an ask blog so if you wanted to know anything about my characters you could ask me there - issue is, I'd probably need a SFW and a NSFW version of this blog, and I've got a small hoard of tumblr blogs already (kind of for this very reason). And no - I am not willing to use a second FA / Weasyl / whatever account for this purpose. It's a pain having to log in every time I'd want to use that account.
SO, let me know what you think! Would you be okay seeing artwork I got from other people involving my characters? Would you prefer I make a dedicated tumblr blog for that? Do you NOT want to see that art? I care about your opinions!

SO, let me know what you think! Would you be okay seeing artwork I got from other people involving my characters? Would you prefer I make a dedicated tumblr blog for that? Do you NOT want to see that art? I care about your opinions!
FA+
