Big Updoot! by Yawg

Okay, I think I've put this off long enough- I'm not prepared as I ought to be, but there are a few things here that are rather time sensitive, so I'd best just clench my teeth and deal with the rest as best I can:

1. Commission Questions!
I've had a few people ask me about when I'll be opening for commissions beyond the usual sketch stuff: and the answer to that is "this year" sometime. Not terribly helpful, but I'd like to make it more specific: this year soonish. As you read on (if you read on, that is) you'll probably be able to figure out why I'm being reluctant to slap a date on that yet...

I've recently also changed the pricing for the daily sketch things I do: here's the updated list:
$25 USD base price for one character
+$15 USD per each additional character (the maximum character count will depend on how fun the characters are to draw)
+$10 USD for a background
+$10 USD if you have a more intricate or detailed subject (like armor, robotics and cybernetics, additional pairs of limbs, intricate or involved backgrounds, etc.)
*$5 USD discount if your commission has Renamon, Krystal or Jenny in it!

If/when I do open up for colour commissions, I might come up with a price plan for it, or I'll do it by auction, and let you guys figure it out for me >_> But that may not be until after March. More on that later.

2. Dropbox Cleansing!
For those of you who HAVE gotten sketches from me, I'll be doing a Dropbox purge at month's end. If you haven't already saved your hi-rez copy of your Yawgsmut, you should probably do that before February. Once the Dropbox is cleaned out, I don't have it anymore D: February 1st is NEXT MONDAY, so you have less than a week to take care of it, if you haven't done so already in the last like, 4 months. Slackers.

3. New Yawg Hangouts!
"Hey Yawg!" People ask me, "you seem like an intelligent, funny, relaxed, well-groomed and debonair man who exudes charm with a casual elegance usually reserved for Hollywood's elite! Can I hang out with you?" To them I say, "Good lord no, Peasant. Get off my lawn." However, to YOU fine folks, I'll tell you the next best thing: places on the internet to find me!:

Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThatYawgGuy
Streaming Site(s): Tigerdile and my Emergency Backup Auxiliary Site Picarto
Other Galleries: FA and Furry Network

I've got a Tumblr account, but I'm not quite sure what to do with it just yet. I don't think I'm Tumblr-ing right. So I'm just going to leave that
The FurryNetwork site is still undergoing some work; something got fucky-uppy in the port from FA (probably my fault) and long story short, I uploaded 1800 pieces there- FA only has 1100 uploads. I'm still trying to sort through the submissions and delete the repeats, because apparently the folder systems was also a thing that didn't transfer. So that'll take a while. As there isn't a "delete all, try again" option, I'm muscling through on my own, about 100 at a time.

Weasyl will be where I post sketches and other commission work, colour work and comic work.
Furry Network will be host to comics and colour commissions only.

Oh hey, speaking of comics...

4. Hey Yawg, where's LoJR?!
Oh yeah! That thing!

I haven't abandoned you guys, I've just been SUPER busy with "Krystal's Big Thing." And as that's something peeps have paid for, that takes hella priority. Once the bulk of the work for that is done, LoJR will start rolling off the presses again (so to speak). LoJR will be posted here, Weasyl and FurryNetwork HOWEVER it will be posted to Weasyl and FurryNetwork a WEEK in advance of FA.

Oh hey, speaking of Krystal's Big Thing...

5. Hey Yawg, how's Krystal's Big Thing coming along?!

Pretty good, thanks for asking!
Of the 8 Teams I signed on to do, I'll be finishing Team 6 and starting Team 7 tomorrow, which means the folks that threw money at me to make this project WAY huger than I thought it would be (thanks again) should be seeing something in their emails after today's stream. (So like, late tonight).

I've had one or two people ask if I'm going to be posting these all for free later- yes and no. I'll be posting the 8 base team pics, so you can enjoy them at your leisure, free of charge. However, if you also want the alternate versions and the 16:10 wallpaper versions, I'll... figure out something for that.

After the 2 teams are done, I'll be working on the comics alongside LoJR. So that should make for some fun times! And probably some confusion as some will invariably get the three comics confused with one another. Which will also make for some fun times.

6. Con Appearances?!
Why yes, I will be making a couple planned attendances this year. Well, by a couple, I mean probably just two. Which I guess is the definition of "couple" so... yeah, I'll be making a couple planned attendances this year.

AC will be the big one, but it's also got a bit of a question mark above it; the CAD is currently dipping closer to $1.50 CAD = $1 USD, which, when you apply that to the cost of airline tickets, food and hotel stays, winds up adding up to a LOT for a vacation. So, if it keeps sucking, then I might be a no-show at AC, and you guys will have to party it up without me.

If it gets better (and by "better" I mean stays around $1.30 CAD or $1.20 CAD/$1USD or something that's something I can stomach.)

Vancoufur! This is a big one, and it's also coming up REAL GODDAMN FAST. It's a big one, because it the first con I've attended that I've actually been a dealer at. Gasp! So I've been spending the last few months trying to throw together some swag for it, so I don't embarrass myself too badly. I'm seated at Table 4 in the Dealer's Den- come see me!

Swag-wise, I've got a buncha prints, and a Bob-themed T-Shirt so far. So... still a lot of work yet to do D:

tl;dr version:
*
a) My sketch Prices are USD now.
b) Here's the plan for the next few months:

  • Sketch commissions 6 days a week, Krystal's Big Thing
  • Vancoufur Con Prep
  • LoJR, Team 4 Comic, Team 7 Comic
  • Open up for Colour Commissions c) Opened a FurryNetwork Gallery. Colour stuff's gonna go there, once I've sorted out everything I need to sort out. d) Come see me at Vancoufur god please I'll be so lonely.*

Big Updoot!

    I'd come see you and hang out n' stuff, but I'm down here in the middle o' America (and in the middle of Tornado Alley), so I'd need A REALLY FREAKING HUGE MIRACLE to come see you. :C But I'll keep you in my thoughts! =3

    ...that came out waaaaayyyy creepier than I had intended. Ono

      Not the CREEPIEST comment I've gotten by a long shot though, so that's fine.

      I assume you're talking about seeing me at AC, and not like, dropping by my house.
      For some reason, I thought you were in the UK... do you keep bizarre hours?

        I'll bet. Honestly, with the way SK seems to go nuts with you, I'm surprised you haven't gotten a marriage proposal yet.

        Actually I was talking about Vancoufur, since you said AC was a maybe for you this year (I can't go to AC either, but that's besides the point). And nope, I'm in the ol' US of A. Kansas to be specific. And yes, I do keep bizarre hours.
