I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! It was very wet here, but the rain stopped long enough for kiddos to go out last night. We didn't see very many, but I'm glad that the weather cooperated for a little while! It's... back to raining here again xD;

While my autumn YCH is closed again for the season, I do still have some spooky themed adopts available on my Toyhouse if, like me, you're not quite ready to say good bye to the season. I also have a couple not-Halloweeny adopts up there, and my regular commissions are open.

My commission sheet is here, and you can find more details in my commissions tab here. I am also accepting a few slots for my discounted artistic liberty/Wing-It commissions, details here.

Hi folks! It's (almost) Autumn again~ This is my favorite season, containing my favorite holiday, so I am very excited! I've got my Pumpkin Patch YCH open for the new fall season, though my regular commissions are still available if you fancy one of those. Comments and PMs are welcome regarding any questions or interest ^^

I can't wait to enjoy sweater weather, eat more pumpkin and cinnamon-apple snacks, watch the leaves turn colors... Anyone else super excited for the change of seasons? :D

There's a newish user on FA who draws absolutely gorgeous kitty cats! I'm assuming you like cats if you follow me, so I'd def suggest checking  slksqq out!

Overall, ArtFight was a lot of fun! I always enjoy meeting other artists and getting into revenge chains! Still waiting to hear who won, but, honestly, the experience feels like a win on its own ^^ I'll be uploading the art from that gradually, so as not to make a big flood.

With ArtFight over, my commissions are back open! My regular commission sheet is here, and you can find more details in my commissions tab here.

I am also accepting a few slots for my discounted artistic liberty/Wing-It commissions, details here.

We just found out that rent is going up again. I know things are tight all around these days, and even if you aren't in a place to commission art right now, I'd be grateful if anyone was able to spread some word if you like my art. Or, if you might be interested in a commission type I don't have listed, feel free to ask me about it! I'm usually happy to figure out new things, like comic options or maybe telegram sticker packs? I've offered physical products, like badges and button/pins, in the past, would folks like to see more of those again? Let me know your thoughts <3

It's the time of year I get real excited for ArtFight and then don't actually finish my references in time, whooo \o/

Is anyone else playing this year? I'm always down for more friends to fight with >:D

https://artfight.net/~zippy

Also small reminder that my commissions close in July so I can focus on playing, if you were wanting something from me be sure to drop me a note/message beforehand ^^

I still have a couple YCH icons - Red Dusk and Starry Sweetheart available starting at $12.50 instead of my usual icon price of $20. I'll be retiring them into my own OCs after ArtFight so snag 'em if you want 'em.

Hi all~ I hope winter was kind to everyone. Spring is starting up, and I'm happy to see the nice weather and flowers ^^

I know I haven't been uploading as much, the AI theft situation really put a damper on me wanting to share my work publicly. I'm going to try to upload a bit more often, at least sharing finished trades/commissions. I've got a good bit of catching up to do, but I'll upload things a little slowly so as not to flood anyone. I do have slots available, and I try to keep my availability updated even when I'm not posting a lot. Notes to inquire are welcome, as usual.

What's your favorite thing about springtime? I like that I can go for walks again, I get way too cold going out in winter to do much of that. It's nice to see folks' gardens, and say hi to chickens that get to roam around some of my neighborhood yards! A distant hi, since they don't really want to come near the road (which is good!) but it's still fun to see them!

Checking out a couple new sites, given how Twitter and DeviantArt have gone. A friend suggested Itaku.ee so I made a profile on there to see how I like it. If anyone else has an account, I'd love to have more people to add ^^

Oop forgot to post on the 1st. Anyway, ARTFIGHT. Commissions are closed, and I'm already working on some revenge chains haha! If you've never done it before, I totally recommend checking it out, it's a lot of fun ^^

Come fight me if you like! I'm team Bloom ❀✿❀

Hi folks! I hope everyone is enjoying the lovely change in weather~ I'm really glad it's (better be!) finally done snowing ^^;

I think my favorite things about spring involve getting to go outside more, I get cold really really easily so the warmer weather is so nice! I love the peeper frogs peeppeeppeeping outside when I go for walks, and I love the bird that has come back AGAIN to build a nest on my poor parent's porch, haha! They keep trying to convince her to go, but I think she likes feeling safe on the screen porch. The babies make adorable little beeps~

What do you all like about spring? (or don't like?)

I also wanted to say that I've got an updated Commission Sheet finally, with examples that are much more recent than the old one. I close up commissions in the summer for Art Fight and other summer events, so if you'd like something from me you've got a bit of time ^^

I am especially looking for examples of character species I don't have much recent art of yet, so if you have a bird, amphibian, or a reptile (dragons included!), I'd be happy to give you a 10% discount just to buff up my examples~ I keep meaning to make some random ones but my motivation for random new characters is low, I have too many existing characters who need some love ^^;;

I don't love the cold, but cozying up with a blanket and hot drink is a bit nicer when it suits the weather I guess. I hope everyone is having a safe and fun holiday season.

I am LATE UPDATING but hello all I hope everyone is having a lovely lovely fall and enjoying the month! What's your favorite thing about fall??

I love how the air smells, and the colors the leaves turn, and I love cozy clothes so the cooler weather is perfect for capes and scarves and BOOTS (though to be honest, I will wear my boots all year they are the comfiest and have great storage capacity). I also lovelovelove pumpkin and cinnamon flavors and this is the time of year that everyone is selling them aw yessssss~

Still trying to work through that novel, but I love ArtFight too much to not join in. Sorted onto STEAMPUNK, come and play! Hopefully I can keep my points up!

As usual, commissions are closed for July so I can play ^^

Here's hoping to a kinder year for all of us <3

So, there's a whole thing going on with "Ink October" and I will not be doing it this year (or likely any other year) and have renamed/tagged everything from previous years to be safe. I looked through all sorts of amazing fun drawing challenges that exist as options, things like OCtober, Goretober, and loads of others if anyone is looking for some suggestions of alternatives.

Instead of doing one of those, I'm going to be tackling some visual development for a, now fairly old, comic concept. A friend came up with the idea and now there's a whole bunch of us working on webcomic background nonsense. Fingers crossed I get through enough to have something worth sharing soon, it's been around 6 years I been working on this, that car accident threw a wrench in my plans but, heck, gonna get back to it with the support of my fellows~

Not sure how much will wind up on here (a lot will be stuff like... drawings of an umbrella and a dolphin plush lol) but if props, backgrounds, or lineups are things people are interested in, I'll probably have some up on my Twitter (which is 18+ please)

I hope everyone is being safe and having a good autumn!

It's July, and that means ArtFight! I'm on team Spice this year!

Hi all!

I'm going to be closing general commissions for summer art projects, so if you wanted something pop me a note before 6/1 about holding a spot. I'll possibly open up again in September, and I may take commissions in streams occasionally and will post about openings, but I'm planning to dedicate some time to personal work for a while.

Going to be focusing on ArtSlam and ArtFight this summer, I hope to have lots to share with you during these events ^^

Hi all!

I'm back, and I did some tidying up so I could open my commissions again. For the most part I am offering spots for my colored bust commissions, but I might take a couple bigger (or smaller!) options listed over on my commissions tab. My ToS is there too, so you should definitely check that out if you're interested or even just curious.

And I do offer discounts on commissions for adopts I made, or that friends have made, and pleasepleaseplease let me draw your feral cats I love them so much and so they're at a special price.

Busts are $20 for one, or three for $50, and right now my turnaround is pretty quick since I'm just reopened with a nice clean queue. You can ask any questions here, or on the commission I linked above, or feel free to pop me a note.

Well I didn't post anything whoops but I'm taking a bit of time for my health. Some of you already know I was in a bad accident a couple years ago, but a few weeks ago I was involved in two more minor accidents. No one was physically injured but my mental health took a nosedive. Sorry for just vanishing, I'm not sure how long it'll be before I'm up for stuff again but I am alive and I hope you all are doing well!

I was gonna say 'i has a twit' but that could be misinterpreted (though lately at work I have INDEED been dealing with a twit orz)

ANYWAY. Come scream at me or something idk how this tweeter thing works exactly but I will DO MY BEST

https://twitter.com/zippuzzle

I also made one for my writing if you have any interest, it will honestly probably be a similar mess but with my writing things instead of my art things..? https://twitter.com/cassiarosewrite

Hi all!

I'm heading to FWA this weekend (HiveMindBob and I are visiting our good friend Falagra!) and then later this month I'll be driving down to Ohio with Bobby and Kiocah to hit up AnthrOhio. So! If any of you guys are going to be around either of those cons, let me know? I'd totally love to say hi <3

Later I have plans for CTCon and FurPoc but those are a little iffier at the moment (being further away). Planning to be full weekend at both FWA and AnthrOhio though!

Hullo all!

I'm working on a few things and I figured I'd ask you guys if you had any feelings about stuff you'd want to see. I'm planning on making a bunch of Pokemon, so if you have a favorite let me know and I'll nudge it up the list. There's so many, might as well start with some that my wonderful friends and followers like!

I'm also working on dog and cat breed things, so if you really want to see more Siamese or corgis or some other breed let me know! And other critters too, like hedgehogs or foxies.

And no, haven't forgotten the other journal sketch suggestions, already have a little in the works.

Thanks everyone!

I'm still here, still not active much but I did some doodles today that I'll be posting in a sec. My shoulder does not cooperate still, and my hand shakes a lot, but I wanted to try a little bit.

Stuffs still going. Work is still a good environment, though sometimes stressful. Meds are being figured out. I got married and am happy about that at least!

Sorry for lack of content, haven't been able to do art or writing in so long I swear it's killing me.

Sorry I've not been posting much. I've tried to work on things but there's been pain issues. I've just been told by my therapist to stop for at least two weeks so the lack of content is going to continue for a bit. I'm not dead or anything, and if you message me or some such I'll respond. Just... not going to be able to add things to my art collection for a while (and no, writing isn't an option either right now unfortunately). I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself while I take this break, but I guess this is gonna be a hiatus kind of situation?

Hope you've all been well!

This is the first year it's rained (where I live) on my birthday since I was born. I had SUCH a streak going sigh. But thunderstorms are good, it's been crazy hot and humid here! Still, now I can't say it's never rained on my birthday anymore ;A;

I forgot to post that I was leaving whoops! I am back from my trip to Ohio for Anthrohio and to visit my lovely friends! I'm really tired and so I probably still won't be around much today because it is a long car ride. I've got a bunch of stuff I'm in the middle of working on, hopefully more humanoid characters won't put anybody off because there's a lot of that on my to-do list right now ^^;

If there's anything (or anyone) my watchers would like to see more of, I'd love to hear some suggestions. I'm still open for commissions as well, but I might doodle a request or two and I'm hoping to stream at least a little this week.

Hope everyone had a good week!
