UPDATE: Commissions Closed, https://www.furaffinity.net/view/47871403/ Prices are here, but there's a long waitlist at this point, will be a few months getting through the current ones.

https://simonaquarius.gumroad.com/l/gczwn ($10 CAD) 2010-2019 Artwork Archive, contains everything on FA and a few sketches that weren't posted, among other things. Convenient for anyone who wants to download my artwork on here but doesn't want to go through individual gallery pages.

I do have full sized Amanda and Co. pictures on my Patreon, for those interested in supporting me as I try to figure out better ways to art.

I do streams during the week https://picarto.tv/SimonAquarius . Joining the Saturday Sketch Stream list: reservations are made by leaving a comment in an open cell in the "Saturday Slot" column on this spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet.....it?usp=sharing There's only five slots every Saturday, and the stream starts on Saturday at 3:00 PM ADT. They are $30 CAD (Updated March 15, 2022) per character. My paypal is http://paypal.me/simonaquarius BUT I would prefer being paid once the sketch is complete, there may be Saturdays I need to delay work and can't stream, so it's best to just wait until the work is done for certain.

Any fanart of Amanda and the crew is A-OK with me, though not if there's an attempt to sell fanart. If you decide to go that way, send a note and ask, it's less of a mess if you get permission first. If you do make fanart then be sure to link me to the page and not just the image, as I'd like to fav them.

For the curious, I am a guy, that's why I have the name Simon.

Tools and links for livestreaming, the world's better with more art in it.

https://discord-reactive-images.fugi.tech/ - I think this is used for discord avatars in multi-person streams, like with party games
https://www.live2d.com/en/ - The program used for animating a pre-made character, you'll need to create the character art first before you use this, and it requires a specialized layout so it animates correctly, but with enough tutorials you can make your own avatar! (The fact there's no lifetime payment option sucks though, so do the art first, watch tutorials, then download it and use the free trial, you have one month to make your avatar)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?li.....wcV31vN5reyWl7 - Here's an excellent tutorial series that I used when making my own model.
https://www.clipstudio.net/en/ - The art program I use, it has a lot of features and is cheaper than photoshop. While my first art program was Paint Tool Sai, this has more brush options (or at least more than when I stopped using Sai)
https://krita.org/en/ - For people who can't afford Clip Studio or Taint Tool Sai, this is a free, open source art program, have at it!
https://obsproject.com/ - A livestreaming program that can capture whole screens, specific windows, load videos, images, and so on.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW.....xxgUenIY80KIPw Amazing tutorial series for using Ren'Py, an open-source visual novel program.

https://www.youtube.com/c/KaiserBeamz/videos A channel that talks about anime and cartoons before the 2000s, valuable insight into the prior century's media.



Lots of options I am still trying to figure out, it's like an ongoing puzzle to try and make the most out of it.
If I remember any other programs I use all the time, I'll add them here so people know where they can potentially begin if they decide to create art.
