It seems plans have changed again, as they seem determined to do. I had to quit that new job, as of one month ago, and have been getting myself back in order4 and trying to figure out my next steps since then. I was able to refund a bit of my queue, but obviously I still have a ways to go. I'm goin…
Hello everyone! It's been a wild month while I adjusted to my new job and schedule, but a good one, overall. For brief context, I started a new job last month, working a 4 day, 10 hour shift schedule, great pay and benefits, with an hour commute both ways by bike. The shift is also late; 3pm to 2am…
My apologies for the bit of silence, I've been doing a lot of things offline to get ready for joining traditional employment again (mainly applications and resume building and interviews, all that jazz). I'm still processing the forms from my final round of commissions, and still working on the act…
The year is coming to a close, and so it’s time for me to look over the past year and assess what things went well, and what things need improvement. There’s definitely a lot to celebrate in both my personal and work life! This time last year, I moved to Vermont and began living somewhere that has…
It's been a bit since I posted a more personal journal, and I just got back from a big trip to California! My partner's family was generous enough to fly me out to CA to see his father's side of the family for Thanksgiving, in the Carmel area. It's difficult to put into words how different CA feels…
I'm ready to take more orders for the next round of photo commissions! The ETA on slots taken this round is the end of November. All details such as price, limitations, etc., are located on the Google form, as well as HERE on my website. Google Form HERE
I'm taking a rest day from drawing so my hand can recover a bit from the stream yesterday, so this seems like the perfect time to catch up on other things! I know a few of you are waiting on replies from me in my notes and various DMs, so I'll be going through those and catching up with folks a bit…
Decided to post one more reminder about the poll I'm running to gather input about my weekly schedule posts. If you haven't already, please take a moment to leave me feedback, if you like! So far it's looking like they're appreciated, which is super nice to hear~ But I still would love more input i…
Edit: Seems like I've got gremlins in the computer again, and my mic is picking up some wicked feedback. I'll be rescheduling the MtG stream to another week while I get this issue sorted out. Sorry about that! This week has been a shifty one! I have more work to do before I play, so the MtG stream…
Instead of giving you all a wall of text with the whole "life's story" thing, here's the gist of what I've been working on while I've been quiet this month! Stream Commissions I have retired the sketchy flat color commission style I've been doing, with 3 left to do as of this post. SilverFox442, Be…
Mini-Update: I was a bit sick over the weekend and so I'm catching up on work a bit, so the new commission style is being pushed to next week while I finish what's on my current plate. Thanks for your patience while I get everything in order! Streams this week are: Wednesday, 11am to 5pm EDT on Pic…
I'm taking orders for slots next week and the week after. After this last round, I am retiring this style of sketch commission, so if you're wanting one that has this specific pencil-textured style with flat colors, now is the last chance to grab one for the foreseeable future! Next month will be a…
Schedule Update for this week: I had to take some emergency time off these last few days, and will be holding off on streams altogether until next week, so I can catch up with my current workload. Thank you so much for your patience! The next round of forms will open next week instead, on Monday Ju…
I rested up over the weekend (gosh did I need it!) and I'm catching up on messages now. If you're waiting to hear from me on Discord/Telegram/Notes, I will get back to you by tomorrow! If you've submitted a google form for Picarto/Pomf, I will get back to you no later than Friday of this week. The…
>>Buy this weird glove<< I will never stop promoting this weird little glove. It's seriously my favorite art tool besides a pencil and paper. Are you a traditional media artist who doesn't want to get your hand oils all over your sketch and smear your carefully laid out lines? You want this. Are yo…
Just putting out a reminder to not get bamboozled, hornswoggled, or even hoodwinked, by anything you read anywhere online or offline for the next two days.
Seems it was the flu, in the end. It kicked my butt for a few days, but I'm on the mend now and back to drawing! Thanks for your patience, I know it feels like something is always coming up. Life sure does... happen, huh. Anyways, I figure it's this late in the week that a schedule is a little poin…
Hey friends. The sore throat I had towards the end of last week decided to transform into a full-blown cold that's knocked me down pretty hard. I'll be taking a few days to rest and get better, so the schedule this week will be delayed. Thank you for your patience, I'm going to go melt into a littl…
I took time to process and let myself just feel whatever I needed to feel, and it helped a lot. It's still a fresh wound, but I feel stable enough to make some peace with it and resume my day to day life. I'll be going over the stream commission forms during the weekend and contacting people about…
I'll be streaming Wednesday and Friday from 9am to 6pm EST (that's 2pm to 11pm UTC) and doing some quick colored sketches to warm myself back up for art, and help make my first round of rent. You do not have to be present during the stream to get a slot, these are being taken in advance! Slots are…
Hello folks, it's been a hot minute. Things have been going a mile a minute in my real life, and it's been difficult to keep my head above water. I deeply apologize for the lapse in communication as a result over the last month and a half. I'm relieved to say I will be doing better, starting Januar…
Hey everybody! I'll be streaming later today, around 4pm to 6pm ET (8pm to 10pm UTC) over on Picarto. I plan on doing some doodling for the fun of it and talking about how Furpocalypse went! Just a nice chat and draw sort of time. Hope to see you there~
As mentioned on my schedule, I'm headed to Furpocalypse tomorrow! I haven't been to a furry convention since Anthro New England in February of 2020, so I'm pretty darn excited to be at one again. I'm nervous about how different conventions are these days thanks to the pandemic, but I feel confident…
I'm all settled in to my temporary new place! I had two roommates lined up to move in with, but one of them recently got the news that his place of work would be going out of business in Sept., so that threw us all a bit as far as signing a lease somewhere. Thankfully his family has offered to let…
Something I often struggle with in my art is deciding on simplistic backgrounds. I'm talking about the kinds that are made of gradients, color blobs, random shapes, patterns; the sort that aren't of any thing in particular. I'll link a couple examples of what I mean, from my own gallery. Gradient b…
Summary if you don't want or need a big explanation: I have made a new Trello board that organizes every single comission I currently have in my queue into a month by month layout. This way you all can clearly see at a glance when I will start, and hopefully finish, your commission. They are organi…
Attention! I am opening for slots for specific commission types. I need a small break from doing sketch pages, so I don't get burned out on them, so instead I am opening for: ❖Digital sketches - https://commiss.io/listings/zK01 ❖Commission upgrades - https://commiss.io/listings/MKpM If you are inte…
Alright, this is a bit of a vague update, and I do apologize for that. In the last three weeks I've had two events happen that were very disrupting and unpleasant, but too personal for me to feel comfortable sharing at this time. It's definitely been a one-two punch to my productivity, and I'm pret…
Time to share what's been up lately. Update: My apologies for the short notice, but the ramen stream tonight is cancelled due to some issues with logistics, and a general lack of interest. Thank you for your understanding, and I will see you next week with your regularly scheduled art streams! As f…
Update: Finished streaming! Thanks to everyone who came. Because of you all, Jonas was able to exceed the goal by nearly 250%! I am incredibly grateful to everyone who came to share their time and support for my good friend. Truly it means so much. Come on in and help me support my friend! Request…
Save the date! This Saturday, May 28th from 2-6pm ET I will be joining a team of artists and hosts to raise funds for my good friend Jonas on the Tamberlane twitch channel! As for many of us, the last year has not been kind. Jonas has been there for me when I've been down on my luck, and now it's t…
Hello! It's been a bit since Jelly successfully got through his surgery, and things have definitely been eventful @v@ Overall, he is doing well and healing up. He's able to get around on 3 legs incredibly well, and has been getting 10x more head pats this week than ever before, ha ha. That said, it…
I'm back! What a wild ride. This is more detailed update about my cat. If you're not fond of medical talk and gross things, check out this short n' tame version of the update. As you all know, Jelly had his leg amputation surgery on Thursday, April 28th. And it was a total success! They were able t…
I'm back! What a wild ride. This is a shorter, non-graphic update about my cat. If you want more details that may include medical talk and gross things, that's all in this journal. Thank you all so much for your patience while I took time away to take care of Jelly post-surgery. It's been a lot of…
Schedule update, sort of! This Thursday, April 28th at 9:30am EST is the date schedule for Jelly's surgery. I'm not sure how involved the post-surgery care will be, or how well I will be able to work through the stress of it, so I've decided to leave my schedule very flexible this week. I'm still w…
Hi everybody, how goes? I'm feeling a bit under the weather and behind on work, so I'm going to postpone the $800 milestone stream tonight to help lighten the load a bit. I'll be holding off on it until next week, not sure which day exactly yet. Sorry for the short notice, but I gotta take care of…
Excellent news, everybody; the fundraising goal for Jelly's surgery has been met! We hit it Friday, during my "Sour OC Question" stream, and yesterday I was finally able to call the vet clinic and confirm the appointment. He will go in for surgery on the morning of April 28th, and be there all day,…
🐈Donate Here🐈 Hey all, just a quick update about where the current amount raised stands, and what milestones have been met thus far! As of today, we are at $1,635 out of $2,200 needed! The deadline to raise the funds is April 18th, just two weeks away. It's looking very promising that I will be abl…
Update 3.30.22 6:50pm EST HEY WOAH Y'ALL. I was adding up how much I've already received so I could track the progress publicly for you all... and WOW. HUH??!! COOL?!! As of writing this, I am over halfway to the goal. I don't even have words to express this. I've been so scared and trying to push…
Cw: Animal health, amputation, cancer 🐈>>Donate Here<<🐈 Hello everyone. I’ve got an update about my cat, Jelly, and his surgery situation. As a refresher of the events, Jelly has a lump on his left hind leg that has been present for about a year. The vet attempted surgery last year, but he develope…
Just wanted to say I'm feeling more level now that I've had some time to process things. It was a rough couple days of panic, and a lot of tears, but I'm getting through and focusing on what comes next. Thank you all for the kind words and condolences on my last journal, they really, really helped.…
I usually spend a lot of time wording my journals just right, trying to make them concise but informative. Please forgive me in advance if this one is rambly or confusing. This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to talk about, and that's saying a lot given the things I've lived through. The…
Just a little update for people waiting to hear back from me in emails, messages, and DMs. I've gotten an extra large amount of messages this week, and also had some IRL difficulties for the last few days, so I apologize for the delay in getting back to you all. I should be caught up and have new o…
It's been a bit! I feel like just talking about little random things in my life, as it's something I'd like to do more often in journals. My last journal talked about some of the struggles I've been facing lately, especially since mid-December. It's been tough, but I find myself doing quite well ri…
The time is here. I've teased this info during streams, and mentioned it on my weekly schedule, and now for the big reveal-- I'm making a comic! And I'm launching my first ever SubscribeStar account to help bring it to life. I've been putting bits of my scant free time towards getting this off the…
Hello everyone! I'm back from my trip and caught up again on daily life things, so I have time to sit and write up a journal again, for a moment. My trip to Northern California was wild! I saw a lot of new things, including barfing sea lions and two online friends (one was more pleasant than the ot…
As you may have seen on my schedule post just now, I have lucked in to being away from home until December 1st due to the generosity of some IRL friends. I can still do work while I'm away, though I will be limited to the traditional media parts of my queue until I return. So! Commission progress!…
Thought I'd say a little something to reassure everyone I am working through my commission queue as much as I can! Thank you all very much for your patience, it means the world to me. My goal is to get 80% of my queue completed by the end of the month. It's a busy month ahead, but I feel confident…
Alright, that took a bit longer than planned (partly thanks to hurricane rains, wowza), but I am safely moved in and unpacked. I can now resume working through my commissions queue! If you sent me a message over the last two weeks, I will be responding to those all by this weekend. I will be closed…
Hey all! I'm made mention here and there, but never really announced it proper. I'm moving to a new apartment on September 1st, and it's down to crunch mode packing time, so commission progress will be on hold until the following weekend while I pack/unpack the entirety of my belongings. I am very…
Last reminder that I will be hosting two online panels tomorrow and Saturday for Tiny Paws Online! For full details check out my previous journal.
Friday, August 13th through Sunday, August 15th, the family friendly Connecticut-based convention will be doing a fun online con over at their Twitch! I'm listed to do two different panels, and I'd love if you join in to be there. This will also be TPC's last convention, as the small con was unable…
It's almost July, unbelievable! I've been keeping real busy trying to manage my queue while making extra money to cover extra life expenses. Bit by bit I'm getting back on track. Thank you all again for being patient with me during commissions, it really does mean the world to me. As always, if you…
Super short version: Go to my personal Commiss.io page and click on a listing to order a commission. If no listings are available, it means I'm full. Subscribe to email alerts to be notified when I open. It's been a while since I last explained my process for taking commissions, so since some of yo…
After my last journal I received a lot of kind comments and DM's, and I will be responding to those now that I have a chance to do so. Thank you very much for the kind words. I am stabilizing financially bit by bit, and things are going okay. I also have a new goal set for myself, to save up sick-t…
Hello everyone! I've been absent online for a chunk of time, and I'm ready to give out an update. Warning for mentions of Covid and needles So I had to take a bit of an unplanned leave for a couple weeks, which put my streaming and commission work to a halt. As some of you know, around mid-April I…
It's cat update time again! First off, thank you again for the HUGE amount of support you all gave for me and my sweet little Jelly boy during the fundraising stream last weekend. I appreciate it more than I can ever describe. [Warning for light medical talk] I took Jelly to his surgery on Tuesday…
Finished streaming! Just a paltry 9.5 hours, pshaw. Thank you all so very much for your generosity and company! I will stream again tomorrow, starting at 12pm EST. And since we hit the goal for Jelly's surgery, there will be karaoke, because you all love to see me suffer! Goodnight, and take care.
TL;DR My cat has a lump and it's gotta go! Click HERE to donate Wow, time has blurred right by me for the last week and a half. I had been away from home most of the time doing some impromptu dog-sitting! But dog time is over, it's time to return to cat land where I belong. As I mentioned a bit ear…
Hello! As some of you know already, I am now back to being a full time artist, which means I am taking commissions regularly again. So if you're interested in commissioning me, here's how the process works! All commissions are handled through my Commiss.io page. https://commiss.io/malachyte From th…
It's time for more cat news! My cat, Jelly, is doing fabulously still after his dental surgery. He is more playful, eating a healthier amount of food with no trouble, and is really enjoying his new pain-free cheek scritches! Also, the new floor-based cat bed I got him has been met with success, and…
Jelly is doing very well overall and the surgery seems to have really helped him! He is playing more frequently than he ever has, eating well with no trouble, and enjoying cheek scritches without any jaw pains to interrupt them. However, he has developed a lump on his hind left leg's ankle. It does…
Thank you all again so, so much for donating to help my cat live a more comfortable and healthy life! He went in for the dental surgery this morning, and I got the phone call saying he made it through just fine and is awake now. I will be able to pick him up soon from the vet. Also, it turned out h…
Update: the goal was met and I can safely afford my cat's surgery! I don't even have words for my astonishment and gratitude. Additional donations will be used for my cat's needs in the future, like food, a new bed, vet visits, etc. Jelly is a beautiful gremlin of a child, and right now he needs my…
Phew. Okay. I posted art. Obviously a lot has happened since I was last active, even before pandemic stuff. I don't want or need to go into precise detail of some kind of personal timeline of events. Instead, let me just tell you how I'm doing now, today, instead of going over how it's been. I work…
Life sure is fast, and difficult. I'm going to post art now.
I got home at 2AM Monday night (Tuesday morning, whatever), then had to head straight into errand running and work the next two days. I am now finally caught up on sleep and can unpack my bags from the con. I had a fabulous time as ever! It was lovely seeing so many of you, and I thank you all agai…
Hey all. I seem to be developing a theme of updating only on the day that I arrive at a convention; I'll make sure to do a more proper notice before the next one. I'm at AC this year, and will be selling in the alley all three days again. I also have works up in the art show again this year (both t…
I'm back from Anthro New England! I had to go straight from working the convention to being back at my outside-my-home job, so I hadn't had a solid quiet day to finish unpacking my bags and update my online things until now. Also I had a birthday in there, surprise! I spent a bit of that day with m…
I meant to advertise this way sooner but wasn't able to find a good moment to do so. I'm in the car now headed there with my group, and will be arriving soon. I have a table in the dealers den again this year, with commissions and originals for sale. I'm at table 36 all three days if you want to st…
Hey everyone. It's been a long while since I really updated anything, I know. I'll try to keep this journal short, no need to go into a whole life's story or anything. The short of it is this; I decided to get a part-time job outside of artwork, and landed one in mid-September. It's been a huge adj…
Just thought I'd write a short journal to touch base and also lay out my goals both to myself and to you all. This week, I want to absolutely obliterate my backlog of art to post. I've got January through July that I want to get uploaded, but I know I can make that happen. Along with that, I want t…
Hello all you beautiful furries~ I got back home very late on Monday night, and spent today having the day off and catching up on sleep. I'll be back at it tomorrow to start following up with people on take home commissions, working on my Commissio queue, and posting more art. Thanks to everyone wh…
Hey everyone, hope you're all holding up well with the heat wave we've been having lately. It's really hot here in CT! I'm leaving for Anthrocon today, and wanted to post an update before I go. Over the last two months, my work process has been very slow due to being sick. The short of it is my anx…

So I mentioned in my journal yesterday that people could see your username and the title you give your project if I make my workboard public, but it turns out I was mistaken (I can see it because it's under my account, is all). The only thing other people can see is the type of commission it is, th…
Sorry for the delay, but here it is! A (hopefully) short but thorough breakdown of my new commission process, and a little step by step that will also be available on my Weebly website's front page. I hope you find this information useful and easy to follow! If you have any questions, feel free to…
For the last half a year, I've started using Commissio as part of my commission process to test it out, and it seems like I'll be using it pretty much exclusively for everything besides stream commissions or special cases. Right now, I realize my commission info on my personal site, gallery profile…
Hi everyone. I apologize for the lack of posts and updates and things, I got a bit overwhelmed with various things happening in my personal life, and ended up fighting a short bout of anxiety/depression which made me recede from my online presence for a bit. I'm dealing with that and gradually feel…
Hello everyone! I'm finally back and settled in after the convention. I got back home Monday evening, but needed to take a few days off to recuperate before I could really dive back into work. ANE was fantastic this year! I was in the dealers den, as I mentioned before, and I had a wonderful time o…
I'll be at ANE 2018 as of tomorrow night \o/ You can find me in the Dealers Den Fri-Sun at table 25. Come stop by and say hey! I'll be offering on-site commissions during convention as per usual, as well as offering bookmarks, prints, originals, and ATCs. I usually forget, but I'll try to update my…
I fell slightly behind with mailing out requested originals, but I've got them all stacked up and ready to go out at last! If you're expecting art shipped to you, I will be contacting you by tomorrow evening with the tracking information (it will show up via an update email from Paypal saying your…
I put the form applications through a randomizer, and have picked the slots for today's 2pm EST stream! I saved the rest of the list, and if I'm able to get through these first 4 I'll move down the list as much as I'm able/have time for. No promise on that though, I draw so slow ;u; Serval_Kittycat…
Hello everyone! I'm trying out letting people sign up ahead of time for stream slots tomorrow. I can only take about 4 people for a single day's stream, typically, so I apologize in advance if you don't get picked. If I could do everyone's I really, truly would! Refined Pencil Sketches Example Requ…
I know it's been a hot minute since my last journal, sorry about that. Toby and I just got back from Awesome Games Done Quick, and we both had an absolutely fantastic time. This was by far the best year yet. Unfortunately, we both got sick! I'm feeling better enough to actually do stuff now, though…
I'm home from our family trip. It was actually a really lovely time, despite us getting together for a sad reason. I had a great time seeing my husband's family, and was reminded anew that I'm very lucky to have married into a family I not only get along with, but look forward to seeing. We were up…
Hey everyone, just wanted to give a heads up that I'll be away until Sunday evening. My husband's grandparents passed away recently, so we'll be traveling to meet up with his family for a memorial service. I'll see you all soon, and have a lovely weekend.
The best month of the year is here at last! I think I'm not alone in feeling particularly energized when the weather starts to turn cooler and the holiday hype train begins. It also means the start of Inktober, where many artists try their hand at honing their inking techniques. I'll be participati…
My friend Jonas is offering some Halloween icon commissions, if anyone is interested! He made the one I currently have (F5 if you don't see it), and I love it to pieces <3 You can find his form, with links to more examples inside, right here!
I cannot believe how friggin' awesome the concert was, everyone. I went in expecting to see Ninja Sex Party, and maybe some Starbomb and TWRP, play for like an hour, and then we'd be out. Now that's already a really awesome time in my book. But instead, we got a full on, 2.5 hour PRODUCTION. It jus…
Tonight, I am going to see Ninja Sex Party live in concert for the first time, and I am beyond excited, guys! They're a comedy band I've enjoyed for many years, and they've had such a huge growth in success. I'm really proud of them, and it's also one of the sources of inspiration for me as an arti…
It's been a bit since I last made a journal, so I thought I'd talk about this cat I've been taking care of! Back in May, I noticed an outdoor cat in a yard a few blocks from my house. I would stop and pet him, and he was friendly and would follow me just up to the yard's edge for more pats. Then I…
I've returned from AC, got back late on Tuesday. I've been unpacking and catching up on irl responsibilities since then, so it took me a bit to be fully back online. Anthrocon was fantastic this year! I had fun last year, but this one was even better. I took on a bit too much work though, eh heh. O…
Just a side note that I'm not doing stream commissions today, nor next Thursday, since I'm going to Too Many Games con and then Anthrocon. Where are you staying? Westin (aka, the main hotel) What day are you getting there? Wednesday evening How are you traveling? Carpooling with Ettie and Mechsae W…
Hello everybody! It's been an age and a day since I've really said much of anything, and that bothers me, because I don't want to become a mysterious hermit artist that loses touch with their watchers completely and barely posts. That's lame as heck for me! So here's the scoop; I've been doing a lo…
Okay, I think that's enough uploading for one day @.@ That's nearly all the sketch bust commissions I've done since I opened for them the other day. I'm taking a break from them and working on main commissions more for a bit, but I may offer more during streams here and there. Speaking of streams,…
I'd like to do some bust sketches, though I'm not able to stream them today. I've been having so much fun working with just pencils! If you're interested, please leave a comment or send me a note with the information at the bottom filled out. These will be done by the end of today, maybe into tomor…
The auction for the original of my piece "Thinking of You" ends tonight at about 7:30pm EST! I'm hoping this artwork can find a good home to go to, and if not, you'll be seeing it at the Anthrocon art show this year for another chance. Auction listing HERE.
I've bought pads of paper that advertise being specifically for markers 4 times now, all different brands, and each one has been so bad that I have a trouble even finding a use for them. I'm starting to wonder if "For Markers" is just a sales tactic and isn't real :V I think I'll just stick with my…
I'm opening for limited slots on chocolate busts to celebrate the second most candy-centric holiday, Valentine's Day! I plan to complete these by the 14th, unless you specify that it's okay to receive them later than that. The maximum deadline I'll have for these is the end of next week, so if you…
What a busy as heck month this has been. Earlier on, I attended AGDQ as I mentioned, and had a fantastic time. You can find the VOD thread here or look up their Youtube channel for a playlist. The crowd looks so small in the video, yet there were a TON of people there. Everyone was mostly hanging o…
Hey everyone! I'm here at Awesome Games Done Quick, already staying up all night and sleeping all day, ha ha. I've brought my pencils and pens with me, and I'm taking traditional media sketch commissions while I'm here so I can continue working. All regular commissions that I'm currently in the mid…
Thanks so much to those who helped spread the auction link, and to Faerie Alex for purchasing the art! I'll be posting more originals for sale soon, and experimenting with different sites to sell through.
Hey everyone! It's been a busy winter so far, but a productive one. I've been meaning to update my journals on a more regular schedule, but haven't implemented that just yet. Hopefully you've been able to tell I'm still alive since I'm uploading art now and again :p More to the point, Anthro New En…
What is Homecon? Read this page for the basics. I'm doing Homecon once again, and will be doing another panel! This time it will be about the difference between micro, chibi and cub anatomy (in my own art and opinion, of course). The content of the stream will be SFW, there will be music and voice,…
To all my friends out there post-election day, who are hoping and striving for equality, whether you're cis or trans, straight or gay, anything at all. You're still loved, you're still real. The people who support you are still here, even if right now it feels like America just flipped against you.…
Since I've gotten a number of new watchers after the convention, I thought it would be good to call attention to my Trello, where you can follow along with commission, Patreon, and comic progress. Check it out here.
I saw the Game Grumps talking about this game, and decided to back it. It's pretty close to being funded, and looks hella cute and relaxing to play. Maybe check it out? The kickstarter campaign
I'm home! This weekend was truly a delight. I had a lot of fun at this convention, and did very well in the dealer's den. I also got a lot better at making sure I eat, sleep, and take breaks, so I don't even feel like I've been run over by a truck come Monday, like I usually do. Today is going to b…
Where are you staying? Main hotel What day are you getting there? Thursday afternoon, leaving Monday afternoon. Who will you be rooming with? The lovely ettie, the gentlemanly mechsae, and the fabulous lavenderfox Who will you hang out with during the convention? My roomies, and also Kazu, Katija,…
Hey everyone. I'm long overdue on an update journal for you all, I apologize for that. I've mostly been plugging away at commissions, working on personal projects and patreon, and prepping for Furpocalypse at the end of the month. I'd like to keep to posting one journal a week or so, and I'm going…
I feel like chatting a bit with you all, so I thought I'd post a late TMI journal. Feel free to ask me about hobbies, art, business, characters, projects, daily life; pretty much anything. If it's something too personal for my comfort I'll simply say so, no harm done.
My friend Iggi did a panel at FAU again this year about designing characters and making reference sheets. She really added a lot more info since last year, and has uploaded the slides for everyone to see. There's a lot of good stuff in there! If you need help understanding where to start on making…
I'm getting through my current commission queue at a decent pace! I've just picked a few more names from the pool of interested users, and with that I'm nearly halfway through everybody so far (once I finish the art part of picking those names, of course). After the current group is all taken care…
My commission pool has reached exactly 20, and is now closed. It'll reopen when I finish all current commissions, or by Oct. 20th, whichever comes first. As always, you can follow the progress of my queue by checking in on my Trello, which receives daily updates. https://trello.com/b/AqCzIaBd/commi…
Thank you all for your patience! My commission pool is now open for names to be dropped in, and will remain open until it fills up with the maximum 20 names. How it works: 1. You fill out the preliminary form (This lets me know names, contact info, and the general level of work you need done) 2. Yo…
I'm back from Anthrocon as of Monday night! It took me until now to write up a journal because I've been busy unpacking and getting settled back in, and also catching up on sleep @.@ I slept... not enough, each night, and forgot to eat way more than I meant to. AC was really fun! I hadn't been sinc…
Where are you staying? The main hotel, magically. What day are you getting there? Late Wednesday night. What day are you leaving? Monday sometime. How are you traveling? Carpooling with Lavenderfox. Road trip! Who will you be rooming with? Amazing party times with Ettie, Mechsae and MomokaPeach Whe…
It's $20 right now, and I know a lot of people are asking me about it since I use it for digital drawing. It's seriously worth the money, just be prepared for that initial learning curve. The sale goes until June 28th, so you still have time to download the trial version and test it before you deci…
Hey everyone! I'm in sore need of a couple updates for you all. Anthrocon I'm attending AC! And I'll be in the artist alley. I am still open for badge pre-orders, too! I'll post a separate journal about that. Friday: Table 71 Saturday: Table 80 Sunday: Table 78 You'll be able to purchase custom bad…
Brightfire does some really great badges, get yourself some! https://www.weasyl.com/journal/108072/free-badge-raffle-june
I'd like to work outside my house today, but all my current commissions are digital media or NSFW, so I can't really take those to the cafe. So instead, I'd like to open for four traditional media busts, all themed around chocolate. I'll be bringing my pens, pencils, and only my brown Copics, so yo…
Hot and fresh badges, open for pre-order to mail to you or pick up at the convention itself. You can find all the info HERE including prices and an order form. If you have any questions, please contact me by any means you wish!
I've been thinking a lot on self-care and ways to appreciate yourself. Some things I like to do for me are to put on relaxing, almost ambient music, and do something methodical and calming, like origami or coloring with crayons for fun. I'll often make some special tea (right now it's earl grey wit…
As some of you may have seen on my Twitter, I attended the Game Grumps Live show this last weekend in Nyack, NY, and it was AMAZING. I had so much fun, you guys, wow. I was really freaked out to be in a big new public place with strangers-who-could-potentially-be-friends-if-I-could-work-up-the-nerv…
Note: I am currently taking a break from reference sheets and character creation. All previous submissions for these types of commissions have been cleared. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I need break! The commission pool is open for name submissions! I did a small test run of this method over th…
I made that channel a while back, but over time I mistakenly assumed people weren't finding it useful, so I phased it out. Seems I was incorrect, though! So I'll be using it again as another means of announcing when, where and what I'm streaming. https://telegram.me/malstream
You've all seen me posting a bunch of stuff from my Patreon, like chibis and exams, but I wanted to write a journal proper that explains what how I use it specifically. Every month, I pick a goal or topic, and I spend the month studying it. The more funding I get on my Patreon, the more time and ef…
It's been over a month since my last journal, somehow. So about two months ago, I posted that journal talking a bit about my recent battle with some emotional issues of mine, and I wanted to post a small follow-up. I've been going to therapy for a small bit now, and it's been helping quite a lot. I…
We got home early, early Saturday morning. I spent all of yesterday catching up on sleep and remembering what not-junk-food tastes like, and then did some work and cleared out messages today. We had a great time, and no sleep was had by anybody at sane hours. I also tried a funnel cake; it was deli…
I'm leaving for AGDQ tonight, and won't be back til next Saturday. I'm bringing my laptop with me, so I can still keep up on messages and do some Patreon work while I'm there, though. Also, thank you all for the encouraging and supportive notes in regards to my last journal. It's always a beautiful…
So December, and most of November really, have been very intense for me. I feel like I've been kind of absent feeling from my galleries, from drawing, and from streaming, so I thought I'd talk a bit about what's been going on. I'm not going to share some details, because this is a pretty personal t…
I'm home o/ I got in pretty late last night from visiting my family for a week, and then spent today getting unpacked and reorganized. My connector flight home was cancelled, and they didn't provide money for lodging and stuff, so I ended up getting a rental car and driving the rest of the way, lol…
Unfortunately, I will not be able to play Amnesia tonight, since I still had a lot to get ready for tomorrow. I'm flying out to see my family (at 5am, yay), who I haven't seen in many years. I'll be working on Patreon rewards during the morning and evening while I'm away, and will have a laptop wit…
Some folks on IB pointed out that I'd misunderstood tax laws for online transactions, and after calling up the DRS to verify, it seems that I should not charge tax on transactions, unless the client lives in the same state as myself. The only time I'll be charging tax, then, is when I sell at certa…
I just realized that today is the date I set for myself to update my TOS if needed, and I did! The smaller change was to add Squareup as a payment option. The bigger change is that I'm going to start adding the 6.35% Connecticut sales tax to transactions. I pay a Sales and Use tax for my state ever…
It's that time of the month where I've let all my paperwork pile up, and now I'm catching up on things and feeling stressed/guilty as heck about it. I know how important it is for me to keep up on my paperwork on a weekly basis, but it's difficult to face forms and bank statements and bills sometim…
So something or other get WAY messed up, and no one could connect to my stream even after several restarts. So I'll be doing the rest of my panel tomorrow, again at 6pm EST, along with a recap of some things I talked about today for those who missed it. Hope to see you there!
I don't know where my last week went, but Homecon is... today! And I'm doing a panel... today!! Wow. For those that don't know what Homecon is, it's a bi-annual streaming convention that happens over on Tigerdile. People are encouraged to stream daily, do themed art (this time it's Jurassic themed)…
I'm all better, as you may have noticed by me streaming a bunch the last two days, heh. I'm mostly done with the tall portraits people have ordered so far. I still have room for 4 more slots! If you'd like one, let me know~ I don't have anything else important to say. So let's think about Pepsi. NS…
This cold I caught is kicking my ass royally. It's hard to lean forward to draw when my nose is so runny and I keep sneezing, yuck. I've got one of the tall portraits sketched out, but until I stop being a faucet, work will be a smidge slow, and I apologize. Also I was up at like 3am vomiting, so I…
Previously, in my last journal: "...Thankfully I did not get sick...." On today's episode: I'm sick (｡･з･)ゞ Toby had a cold during the convention, which is why he didn't attend, so when I came home, the cards were stacked against me. It seems to be a really mild cold, though, so that's something. M…
Alright, I think I'm about caught up on things enough to warrant sitting down and typing a bunch. Furpocalypse went amazingly, as I said. I was so wrapped up in FA:U prep that I neglected to get a dealer's table for Furpoc, but I think this was actually a boon in disguise. For months and months, I'…
It's Weds. night! What the heck. I got back from Furpocalypse at... 3am or so Sunday night (so rather, it was Monday morning). I was so tired I spent all Monday sleeping, because over the course of the weekend I slept about 7 hours total, lol. I'll write a proper recap of the awesome people I hung…
How is it even the 25th already?! For those unaware, I will be attending Furpocalypse 2015. I only managed to get an Artist Alley table for this con, rather than a dealer's table, and only for Saturday, so if you'd like a badge from me, you absolutely have to get one before the convention. I'm taki…
When I posted my recent journal, I didn't expect to get such supportive and, surprisingly, helpful comments. Some of you had some really good advice to give, and honestly, just hearing people say, "Wow, that sounds awful" was kind of nice. I think I was expecting people to say things more along the…
I'm about to talk about medical issues including needles and seizures. If that bothers you, please stop reading immediately. So it turns out the dentist is no exception to my increasingly disruptive vasovagal response, and I'm pissed. For those that don't know what it is, basically in certain trigg…
Mondays are normally my one day off a week. This Monday (today) I have my appointment for asking a doctor about meds, and then later on in the day getting two of four cavities filled. This is not a relaxing weekend. I am cry. On the plus side, I'm getting pretty close to clearing out my queue from…
I feel like it's been a bit since I've posted any journals that aren't super business related. I have also gotten a number of new watchers since FAU, so I'd like to just, I dunno, be a person for a bit. If you have any questions, shoot. They can be personal, or work related, or art related, or w/e.…
I am loving the heck out of Telegram! If any of you lovely furries use it, you are welcome to join my channel. https://telegram.me/malstream It's a chat room of sorts, but no one can reply to it. I post right before I start a stream, and you get a real-time notification that I'm starting, where it…
I'm going through this month's transactions and just marking all my transactions as "service rendered/order processed", so Paypal doesn't think I'm holding on to your product and not providing it. Unless you specified for it to be shipped, this does not mean you're about to get a physical copy if y…
HomeCon, the convention that takes place in the comfort of your computer chair, will be happening over Thanksgiving weekend in November. I'd like to put together a panel for the event, this time, and I want to hear your input. The panel has to be educational and art related in some way, but other t…
So I was going to stream this afternoon/evening, but some shit went down earlier and I'm not sure if I'll be up for it or not. I'm alright, so don't like worry or anything, but yeah, I need some time, and being a host on a stream might be a bit beyond me today. I'll post later on if I decide to str…
Now that the dog I had been fostering is adopted out, and FA:United is all done up, I am going to get into streaming 3 times a week. I can't guarantee I'll be taking stream sketches for every stream I do, just depends on my current workload/need of funds. All times listed are Eastern Standard/Dayli…
That was one heck of a weekend @v@ And by weekend I mean more like almost a whole week! I got there Thursday morning-ish, and picked up Runefox and Coffeepanda from the airport, and we hung out a bunch. I won't give a full play-by-play since that can be kinda boring to read, but some highlights wer…
The time has come and I'm off to the convention! I'm so flippin' excited and nervous to meet so many cool people again/for the first time. If you spot me at the con, come on up and say hi! Here is mah face. I will also be wearing lots of game grumps shirts. As a reminder, I'll also be at table 32 i…
It looks like I made the difference between the male and female rabbits way too subtle ^^;; All the vegetable bookmarks are female, and all the fruit ones are male. I designed the females first, then copied the design while purposefully avoiding taking the easy route of just making them have short…
Where are you staying? Hanover Mariott (the main hotel) What day are you getting there? Thursday afternoon, maybe earlier. Staying through til Monday morning. Who are you rooming with? Doral, CopperTom, Aezen Who will you hang out with during the convention? My roommates for certain, as well as Cof…
I'm going to try and power through the last of my bookmarks today, and my bff Jonas will be doing a stream in about an hour, so we decided to make it a dual stream fun time! My Stream: Working on bookmarks, not offering commissions during. Stream Guidelines Jonas's Stream: Offering chibi commission…
Oh my goodness wow, we finally did it. The dog we've been fostering finally has a forever home. I brought her to an adoption event yesterday, and this most perfect couple came in and just fell in love with her. They are such a good fit, with other dogs for her to be with and a nice 2 acre yard, and…
Nothing too major changed, but I rearranged my profile info to be easier to skim across (and to hopefully look nicer!), and I added a little one two three list of what you should to do commission me. I realized that linking back to a weeks old journal was not an efficient way to be contacted, so to…
I got to end my stream early tonight because I got secondarily sprayed by a skunk thanks to my dumbass foster dog t(-.-t) Someday she'll understand that the skunk will always be skunk, no matter how many times she runs up to it to say hi. I walked into the stink cloud after the fact, so mostly it's…
I'm still waiting to hear back from one more person, but 4/5 contacted say that Thursday works well, so I'm making the decision in advance to choose that date. So yeah! Stream will be on my tigerdile, starting a little after 5pm EST. I can't say for sure how long each sketch will take me, but I ant…
Okay, so after much delay, I'm going to be doing that bottomless sketch stream where I pick 5 random people from those who submitted a form the other week. And the lucky 5 are: ServalKittycat Artica x_25 Taki Kardas I'll be contacting you shortly to see what day works best for the most people, and…
So as many of you probably know, I am a big proponent of the Slams and Jams. A fanatic you might say. I was in the stream Ketsa is doing currently, and johnbrittish called me Mals, which I actually really like. I pointed out this name to my friends, because if you flip it around it sorta spells Sma…
I would like to watch more artists here on Weasyl. Do you all have any artists you watch here that you feel are particularly worth sharing? Show me a couple of your favourites c: Here are a few of my favourite artists on Weasyl who post pretty regularly.
So after an exciting week of blue screens and runaway dogs and health issues, things are coming to a close and calming back down at last. I spent all of today with Runefox installing the new HD, and getting all my programs and settings and files put back where they should be. I still have to fine t…
The best possible scenario happened. We got called this morning, she was picked up by a nice family just down the street. They had kept her overnight, so she was safe and sound the whole time. I'm so relieved I'm shaking. Bad news is we might need to keep her tethered in the backyard now. We had al…
I just can't win against life when it comes to productivity, huh. I went to check on the dogs, who were chilling out in the upstairs portion of the house, and the dog I'm fostering was not there. I looked outside and she had managed to find a way through the fence gate, passed bricks and a parked c…
My computer parts should be arriving tomorrow! I don't know just how long it will take me to install them and get set up, but I'll do it as quick as I'm able. I'll be out for 5 hours on Saturday doing another adoption event for the dog, so that'll slow me down a bit unfortunately. But I think that…
Now that I'm not in the middle of the crisis itself, I just wanted to post some more details. The stream is definitely not going to happen today, so as I mentioned, I'll be keeping the names in and drawing them for next week. All my files are just fine, as I do regular backups. There were just a co…
So my hard drive is dying ( •᷄⌓•᷅ ) I can't choose slots for the stream tomorrow, as I'm now backing up any files that I haven't already backed up and trying to get things stabilized. I'm ordering a new HD now. Depending on what state my computer is in (I'm in safe mode atm) when I'm done doing thi…
No luck this time with getting the dog adopted, but we did learn that she does great at the adoption events (this was her first one), so we'll be doing more soon to get her more exposure. She's a pitbull mix, so when people only see her online profile, they most likely see "pit" and are no longer i…
There's an adoption event today at a Petco about an hour from my house, and I'll be taking the dog I've been fostering to the event in hopes that she gets some exposure, or even adopted. I'm really nervous to be in a crowd of people while trying to keep her under control (she's good, just a bit spa…
Holy crap remember when I used to do commissions like two months ago?? Well I can finally take some more again. Note: This is not relevant to stream commissions. Those will open in a separate journal, around Thursday. Now, things are still pretty busy for me; I still have a dog to foster (though th…
Just doing a short poll to see what people would like next, first. I'll probably be doing all these themes at some point, but I couldn't decide which to start with next, if any. http://strawpoll.me/4919864
Tigerdile Stream | Picarto Stream I usually use Tigerdile, but sometimes I draw cub art, so that goes on the Picarto. I'm able to start streaming weekly again! I did a short one last night, but as always, I find myself conflicted on how to actually fill up my stream queue in the most fair way possi…
Sorry, I forgot to post the notification >< I am out of practice with streaming, buh. Stream info - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6882672/ Stream - https://www.tigerdile.com/stream/spixypics/
Stream Location The stream will start tonight at 6pm EST, and will run until at least 10pm, possibly much later. I'll post another journal when the stream goes live! I'm just about finished up with the second round of micro sketches, and Sunday nights are now available for me to start streaming reg…
I fell a bit behind on doing the annoying "update tracking info" dance with Paypal, so I'm going to be doing them en masse. If you've bought multiple commissions from me in the last month, you're probably about to receive several emails telling you your service was rendered or something to that eff…
Just want to point out that you can keep track of my progress on the micro sketch commissions by checking out my Trello. My available time to work is pretty scattered right now, but I am working on them when I can ^^ With the trello list you can see the total amount of sketches I have going, too, s…
Info: Example $15 per character Payment via Paypal Invoice Multiple characters per image is OK Any gender/body shape/species Any rating (but not just 2 micro character doing it, because that is kinda boring) Traditional media, rough sketches You may buy more than one slot Original sketch is availab…
So now that the dog I'm fostering has grown more comfortable in my home, she has turned into an untrained, adorable nightmare. I have to watch her every moment of the day, except for the few hours she sleeps. She is constantly chewing and tearing everything she can find, and is not trained to be co…
Hey everybody! I love separating my journals into sections by topic. New York Trip! So, as I mentioned in my last journal, I went to New York for the first time! I had a lot of fun and saw some cool stuff. I think my favourite was getting to randomly see a zombie walk of about 4-5 people at around…
I'm going to see New York for the first time! Toby and I are heading out for a small trip, and I'm really excited. We'll be leaving tonight, and won't be back until sometime late on Monday, so you won't be hearing from me until Tuesday. I don't know much about NYC to be honest, so I'm very interest…
I'm not really looking for advice or anything, I'm just kind of jotting down a common problem I seem to have every couple months. Maybe if I write it down, I'll remember it better and be able to help myself avoid it more frequently? I need a set amount of things to be healthy and happy. Balanced fo…
Sefeiren did a lovely journal about their contact with a Paypal manager about some of this very matter. I'll still do my research too, but here is some more immediate information from yet another first hand account. Link I definitely saw this coming, ha ha. I am getting all sorts of tidbits of info…
[EDIT] While I do have 1 source saying that adult content is acceptable, please be cautious about what you do and how open you are about this matter when buying/selling! I'm trying to find out more, so keep an eye out for future journals on this matter. An update journal about my plan on this topic…
[Done] That was super fun, ha ha. I definitely plan on doing this again, both the flan thing and the flash freebie thing. Thanks for hanging out, everybody! I can't focus worth a damn, so I'm going to stream and doodle random stuff and just take a lil' evening off for fun. Leave a character referen…
I feel like a journal should be posted, but I don't have anything important to say. So let's talk about whatever! I got a bit behind on posting art, so you're going to see an art explosion from me today, after I get back from the gym. Speaking of that, I've been going to a gym! And pretty regularly…
I'm going to hold off on doing a second chibi stream tonight. I made dinner, and it took like an hour longer than the recipe said it should, so it's already way later than I'd like to be starting a commission stream. I'll be working on my queue instead, and probably streaming it as well. Out of cur…
Hello everybody! Somehow it's already May. This past month, I've been running into a lot of issues with how I take commissions. Up until now, just leaving my form open and letting people submit requests whenever seemed to work, but these days, I just get too many submissions to keep up. I'm incredi…
After I get the rest of my stuff for the day finished, I'm going to start up today's stream. This time, I'll be offering in-stream commissions, which is something I don't usually do. It makes me more like an irl convention this way, heh. Information Slots are first come, first served Speak in up st…
This evening, I'll be streaming again for HomeCon, and I'd like to offer free live redlining for any sketches you might have made up that you might like critique on! Even if it's the very first drawing you've ever done drawn, please bring it on by. You don't have to be "good enough" at art to ask m…
Tigerdile is running another Homecon, and it starts this evening-ish. By streaming for half an hour or more each day, you can get entered into the raffle for a free month of premium dile. This goes for users streaming using a free trial, so if you're on the fence about trying the site out for the f…
So yesterday I'm all, "Yeah, I'll just get my plants started in their pots and then stream the rest of the day, no big deal, easy peasy!" Then I remembered that no, gardening is still a lot of work, just like last year and the year before, lol. I had to clean all my pots, figure out what I'm planti…
Survey Results Just in case anyone was curious what kind of preferences others had. I got way more responses than I expected, and I'm really happy about it. Once I'm done getting my Patreon content out, I'll be starting in on making some bookmarks! Also, tomorrow is Saturday, and that means stream…
I've been asked about bookmarks here and there, but always assumed no one would want to pay for custom ones, since I'd have to charge at least $20 to make it worth the time put into them. But it seems I might be incorrect about it, so I made a little survey to gather some info. If you have a minute…
So right as I was ending my stream a bit ago, I thought about dedicating my Saturday stream block to working on my comic projects instead. I might actually go with that, and take the month off, so to speak, from stream commissions. That way I can really get some solid time in on those, take some ti…
The last magical girl commission stream starts in just a few! I'm a teeny bit behind schedule, so it won't be exactly 12:30pm, but it won't be much long past that. I'll be posting a journal around 7pm tonight with the new theme for April, and will be reopening the form for sign-ups at that time. Ho…
I mentioned it briefly in my last journal, but I'll go more into depth about it here. I spent a lot of time this week updating the layouts of my profiles, getting informational stuff smoothed out, and re-examining my commission taking process as a whole, so I just want to make sure you all aren't c…
Hey there, everybody! I just wanted to post the weekly reminder that I'm doing stream commissions tomorrow as usual. This time I'll be starting around 12:30pm EST, however, so please take note of this change. For anyone unsure, there are no more available slots for streams this month. A new theme w…
It's Saturday again~ More frills, thrills and... spills? The stream won't be starting for another 4 hours, so keep an eye out for a quick journal when it's time. Today's spots are: 2pm Xhyra 4pm Suna 6pm Vojeto 8pm Logitech There are still slots available for the 28th of the month, so if you're int…
https://www.tigerdile.com/stream/spixypics/ Starting a little late, but here we go! Stream will run til about 10:30pm EST, with breaks in between each commission. Today's spots are: 2:30pm Xizana 4:30pm Runefox 6:30pm Taki 8:30pm Arc/maou There are still slots available for the 21st and 28th of the…
I'm going to try out taking the entire month's stream commission slots in advance, and see how that goes. Basically, I'll leave the form open for submissions in this journal, and once I reach the maximum, I'll disable it and let people know. I added a part about which Saturday stream you would pref…
I got some helpful comments after my last journal, so I thought I'd post again and share it with you all. I understand that some people know this already, but a fair amount of people don't know about it, so please just bear with me, okay? It looks like if a buyer doesn't choose the correct option r…
Update: I'm being told the option has indeed been there for a while, but regardless of whether it's new or old, if you buy art and you're not going to receive something physical, please take care to choose the correct option. It's been a growing concern for myself and other digital artists. When a…
Thanks for coming by!
Just a reminder that the second magical girl outfit stream is tomorrow, from 2pm EST to around 10pm, or whenever I finish. Stream will be on tigerdile, as per usual. See you all there! Slots [Full] Logitech Worldf0x Runefox Kloe
I'm going to close off my commission form for a bit while I catch up on orders, because I blinked and suddenly had a lot at once! Anytime I have to close because I have too many orders, I am continually floored. Thank you all for making this even a thing that happens! I anticipate being closed for…
I'm offering slots for art cards tomorrow! If you're not sure what those are, it's a 2.5" by 3.5" original card, and I'll be coloring them with Copics and pens. I'll be doing these on stream, each one takes about an hour to complete. Submission Form Examples: Link Link Theme: Warm Fuzzies (Anything…
I worry over this happening to my own art supplies now that I rely on them for income, so my sympathies go out extra hard for in her situation. She is a small business owner, and just had her shop broken into, losing nearly everything. There is a GoFundMe to help pay for the insurance deductible, o…
I'll be doing stream sketches this Saturday, from 2pm EST until whenever I finish (usually around 8pm). This time around, I'm going to leave the form open until I get about 10 applicants. The first 5 applicants will be drawn on the 7th, and the next 5 will be drawn on the 21st. The reason I'm waiti…
So no matter how I look at it, I just know the legs in this picture could be better, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what needs to change, even several weeks later. I think maybe I should squish the calves more, but that didn't really come out right as well. If you find yourself with som…
I know I said I'd be doing stream commissions today, but tomorrow ended up being a better choice, so I'm just going to put the form up now. Once I reach 10 applicants, I'm going to close the form, but if I get enough done tomorrow, there may be additional slots open during the stream. Basic Info Th…
Back from my trip, everyone! Commissions will be reopening tomorrow morning, as I'm still very tired and getting my house back in order for tonight. I still have commissions leftover from before I headed out, so it will take me a couple days to email you to start in on your piece. Just as a general…
I'm going to close off for taking new commissions until January 10th, since I'll be away for about a week, and I'm already pretty full. I may take stream commissions as I'm able until then, so keep an eye out for stream notifications, usually in the afternoons and evenings, EST. Hope you all are ha…
Once again I fell behind in posting art. If you commissioned me and are wondering why you don't see your piece in my gallery, it's just because I have a bit of a backlog ^^; I will be posting everything I have tomorrow though, and will hopefully start posting a little at a time on set days, from no…
It was high time for some spring cleaning on my accounts! I'm still in the middle of updating some minor things, but right now I'd like to make note of the major things I've changed. Most importantly, I've changed a few things in my terms of service. The biggest changes are that I've added a revisi…
After spending two days straight reading through every tutorial I have before I made my tutorial update to my Patreon, I think I've shaken off the crazy brain cloud of art block. I have to go to a wedding today, but tomorrow will bring back your regularly scheduled panda. Thank you to my commission…
So apparently getting a cold gave me serious art block? I'm pretty peeved about it, but after two days of spending hours and hours trying to get even one decent picture, I think it's time to own up and admit it's not happening. Normally art block only lasts a couple days to maybe a week for me, so…
After couch surfing in and out of Nyquil comas, I seem to have come out alive. My head is still killing me, but looking at my computer monitor is not burning my eyes anymore, so I can get back to doing all the panda things I do online again. My desk is covered in tissue dust and it looks like I had…
Hey all, it looks like I caught Toby's cold, so I'm going to be slow to respond and slow to draw for a couple days. If you submit a form for a commission, expect a delay of about 4 days before I get to you. I'm still working on current commissions for the moment, but it will be slower while I rest…
EDIT: I'm going to keep these icons available until every mask is complete! You may choose either method to get an icon c: Random Drawing $15 via Paypal invoice. Enter your name into this form. I will assign your name to a random mask from the list of ones that are still available. Specific Mask $2…
I spend a lot of time writing comments and then deleting them lately. There are so many artists and cool people that I want to say "Hey, I like X about you/your stuff and here is why!" But after I start typing a few sentences, it sounds so lame, and I feel too embarrassed, so I just delete it. It f…
I feel the need to bump off my old journal, but I don't really have anything to say, so here, have my current favourite recipe for the fall season. Ingredients: Whole coffee beans, enough for 1 cup of brewed coffee (1.5 Tbs does it for me) 4 cardamon seeds 2 whole cloves 1/4 tsp cinnamon powder 1/4…
So a lot of stuff ended up coming up, and it looks like I won't be able to make the convention this year. If you bought a badge, I will contact you shortly and work out how you'd like to proceed. In better news, I have 9 pages thumbnailed for the porn comic idea I had last year, but chickened out o…
Just in case there are still a few of your out there who have somehow missed hearing about the fight for Net Neutrality, or if you've heard, but decided to "take care of it later", I thought I should do my part and post a journal about it as well. Because without Net Neutrality, I lose my job as a…
I've been trying to think up a badge theme for the coming convention in CT, and I'd been watching a lot of Let's Plays of Five Nights at Freddy's, so I guess it's no surprise I'd settle on this for my theme. I'm going to open for 15 slots of these, all to be completed by Furpocalypse (October 31st)…
Hi everyone! I thought I'd take a few minutes to talk about my current commission status, and give a brief summary about how to commission me, since I've gotten a lot of new watchers in the last couple weeks. Right now, my commissions are open, but my queue is a little full, so any forms submitted…
Okay, so I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to change what shows up on my profile page as the big enlarged picture showing off my submissions. I upload things that I want to keep behind thumbnails with their appropriate warnings, but it doesn't really do much if you can just scroll down my page an…
I had such a great time! I'd heard a lot of mixed reviews about the convention, but in my opinion it was a lovely con. The number of attendees wasn't overwhelming, and the staff for the Den were very attentive and kind. I had planned on vending through the Artist's Alley, but my roomie, anatawabaka…
Hey all, I'm leaving for FA:U tonight, and will be staying through til Monday morning. One of our roommates cancelled last minute, however, so I [b]really[/b] need to find 1 or 2 more furs to stay with us. We're in the main hotel, rooming Thursday night through Sunday night, so if you or anyone you…
Thanks to (the Powerpuff Girls) multiple phone calls. So there will be no interruptions in service after all, yay! I'm about to stream from 11am to 1pm, but the cable people may come during the stream, so if you stop in and it's not up, that's where I'm at.
So in the midst of switching account holder names on our internet service, things may or may not get screwed up. There is a possibility I will be without internet for as little as a day, or as long as a month. I can still go to the nearby library for internet, of course, but this will mean I have l…
Theme School uniforms. Any rating, any uniform (as long as it's not too complex). I have uniform refs of my own, so if you want me to choose one, I will. Toast is optional. Info 3 slots available Claim a slot through this short form $20 per rough ink Single character + one prop only I will do at le…
I'm often approached by those who want to buy art from me, but don't know whether they'd like a traditional media piece, or a digital one. Sometimes people ask what I prefer, or which is better overall, and I never really know how to respond. I finally decided to give it some real thought and write…
I'm taking limited badge orders for FAU, to be picked up at the con. If you're not attending, you can still commission one, but it will cost extra for shipping. If you order one, I will need your phone number, so I can contact you at the convention for pickup. Info: Monster version of your characte…
Time to upload stuff from before I moved that I've been putting off like a lazy butt. Uploading is such a hassle, hnnnnngh. Also, I will be updating Patreon in the next few days, and completing some of the reward tiers that got met. At last! Now that my house is unpacked and I'm pretty much settled…
The move is over at last! I was hoping to get everything sorted out enough to start computering yesterday, but it took a while to find the floor underneath all the boxes. Everything went pretty smoothly, the only real issue being that it's hot as balls everywhere right now. We're installing an air…
Moving is just as crazy as it was last time. I'm going to be away from the computer until Sunday while Toby and I move to our new place. It's a smaller move this time, thank goodness, so only about 1.5 hours of driving. Then it's time to unpack and finally stock my poor, depleted kitchen again. Onc…
Boring Personal Journal (sorry) So I did something really good for myself last night/today. The manager at the job I'm about to leave (since we have to move for Toby's new job) is a bully, plain and simple. She speaks rudely, gives vague commands and becomes sarcastic and disrespectful when you fai…
I'm going to be doing a dual stream with my friend Jonas tonight from 6pm to 9pm EST. I'm doing inks and he's coloring. I'm interested to see how they turn out! Also, my buddy Desflat has opened an Etsy store for his amazing hats. He has some made up already, and he also takes commissions, if you'r…
Hey all, just an update on the state of things. I am in the middle of apartment hunting right now, as Toby just got a job about 2 hours south of where we live currently. I'll be going to stay with him during his training so I can look at apartments while he's working, and I won't be back online unt…
Queue TOS Commissions Form Things to Note I have updated all my the forms above, so you may notice some changes. The Queue (also known as the kweh-oo-way) is now separated into three main categories, so that I can only take on certain amounts of each type of commission. My TOS now states that you m…
Yes, the time has come. I've finally left my job in food service and taken on a better part-time one. I get to wear regular clothes and be in an office, and I am elated. Most importantly, there is no possibility of getting handed more hours and taking away from my drawing time; their system simply…
I spent all day yesterday at work, then after that I went to cement things down for my new job I'm about to have. I am so excited for this; I'll talk about it more later, but it's pretty much everything I've wanted in a job for a long time. So yeah, sorry about being gone yesterday!
EDIT: Wow, you furs are amazing and hella fast. I am so stoked that I just filled up commission slots through Weasyl and twitter only! If I finish these fast enough, I will try to take on more! Information Traditional pencil or ink sketches w/ color accents Two commissions per week Each completed w…
I took a break from streams for a while, but they are back again! I will be streaming three days this week; Weds. evening, with 80's themed rough ink commissions, Thurs. morning with anything goes commissions, and another stream on Sunday that has yet to be decided. All the details on what I'm draw…
I wanted to make a resource for my watchers so you all know just what I do where. I post across a variety of galleries, each one a little bit different, not to mention other sites like Twitter and Tumblr. So, hopefully this will be useful to you all. If you can think of any I missed, or think there…
Hey all, I've been a bit quiet, but I've been drawing lots. Mostly just finishing up the last two commissions in my queue and powering through comic work. I've also been trying to finish up all the odds and ends in my WIP folder, because having those hanging over my head space feels like I'm trying…
Currently, I am closed for regular commissions. I am trying to concentrate on getting the last version of Twincest finished! I've sort of kept this fact low-key, because I wanted to be closer to completion before talking about it, but I will have it finished in the next 2 months or less (hopefully…
I'm cancelling today's stream commission thingy, because I want to get some more work done on some other things, and I also work up with a killer headache, sore throat and stuffy nose. If I am sick, I will be so mad, ugh. No time for that, man. I might still be streaming commission work and general…
[EDIT] I mistakenly scheduled a stream on Weds, but it should be Thursday. I have three stream sessions this week where I will be open for rough sketch commissions. Wednesday will be for sketches only, while Saturday and Sunday will be sketches and coloured sketches. If you would like a slot for Th…
Just dropping a line to say I added some streams to my calendar for Sunday. I think that I will start making a habit where every Sunday or Monday, I post a journal about the coming week's stream. Most of all, I want to have art study sessions for myself that I stream, as well as commission streams…
Stream Schedule I'll be offering stream sketches this Saturday from 7pm to midnight, EST. The stream will start around 6pm EST, while I do warm up drawings. I would like to offer a specific theme for this stream, and that is students running late for school with toast. You may ask for a different t…
Hey all, you can now review the submissions for this week's trading post, and cast your vote! Check it out on this Tumblr Post. The link to the poll is at the bottom.
Not sure where else to list these for myself, but I guess a journal is as good as any! I have a lot of goals for myself, but they are all amorphous in my mind, so I'm going to write them down. Currently Finish the final touched-up version of Twincest, complete with bonus images, and post for digita…
I'm going to be streaming later today, thinking around 5pm EST, and I'd like to do some quick stream commissions. I'm opening one spot here, and one on Inkbunny. We'll see how that works out :V Info: Rough sketches only $15 for 1 slot, 1 character only this time Payment through Paypal or Tigerdile…
So jonas recently made a calendar for his stream times as an experiment, and allowed me access to it as well. I'm going to try it out a little, since I've been meaning to plan my streams in a more public way recently. It'll be up in my profile info shortly, but for now here is the link. What do you…
I just wanna draw so bad, everyone, but I got scheduled for 6 days this week at my stupid part-time job. I'm pretty mad, because I was hired with the understanding it would be 3 to 4 days a week. I complained to the manager about it, so we'll see if something gets done :T Either way, I'm still appl…
General Updates A lot of people are moving to Weasyl, so I thought I'd follow suit with what some other users are doing and post some helpful links on how to migrate to the site more efficiently. Additionally, here's just a plain old "welcome!" I'm happy to see more people using this site, though I…
After I get some showering and lunching in, I'm going to get ready to stream for a bit. Probably be ready around 2pm EST, and I'll be working on that slime banner some more. However, if anyone would like a stream commission, I would be open to do digital rough sketches today for $15 through Paypal.…
I am back! I'll be catching up on emails and notes tonight, and I'll have a live stream up tomorrow evening for anyone interested. Toby is down with the flu (we were around some sick people :/) so I may or may not get sick in the next week, lol. Anyway, can't wait to talk to you all tomorrow <3 I m…
I'll be away until the 8th, doing a bit of traveling. See you all when I return c:
Happy almost new year's day, wow! Who likes to use small sentence in a list format to tell people about their current state of affairs? I do. Personal -I am not super sleepy and sad feeling anymore, and I thank all of you for your support during that. -My carpal tunnel is being a butt right now, th…
After doing that Character Abuse Meme thing, I re-realized how much I like drawing terribly mean pictures with blood and such in them, and I'd like to draw more of that. I've had enough people leave me comments of interest on said imagery, so I think I'll be opening some commission slots for specif…
I plan on having myself a drawing marathon tonight, to let loose for my day off tomorrow. I will be streaming after I take a bit of a nap (maybe around 7 or 8pm EST?), and will need some warm up drawings. So, if you'd like to volunteer any characters for a warm up sketch, leave a comment with some…
I just watched this movie last night for kicks, and I- Was this really Disney? Really? I've never seen characters so flat (emotionally and physically), a plot so full of holes it makes swiss cheese look solid, and such terrible pacing! I was yelling at my screen the hole time about all the shit the…
Edit: To be more clear, I don't think I am suffering from depression, at all. I think I am just temporarily feeling down, or in other words, depressed. [boring personal update] Lately I've not been feeling like my usual self, so I've been kind of quiet on the internet to help get over it. For some…
The time has come for me to move on from Livestream, folks. I'd thought about it in passing for a while, but recent events have pushed me to make the decision earlier. So now, I'll be streaming through Tigerdile ^_^ Here is some information about the site and how to get it going for you, as a viewe…
Toby brought up the little thing that mentions sales files on Inkbunny, and I realized I never gave it a look. It turns out to have never been implemented, and the last notes on it seem to be from an update in 2011 :/ But, I realized that doesn't mean I can't offer digital, higher resolution versio…
Now that I'm back from FurFright, I am opening up for commissions again! As a reminder to all, to commission me you should begin by filling out this google docs form. Once you've filled that out, I will contact you via the email address you provide to begin discussing the details. Your commission i…
I'm in a new place, and it's a townhouse! For the first time, I live somewhere with a second floor, and even a basement. it feels huge! I can go in a totally different part of the house and not hear my phone. Speaking of, it turns out my phone gets zero service in this entire town, so I am going to…
Well, it's finally time to pack up the entirety of our apartment and make the big move. My husband and I will be leaving the South and heading to a new home up North at last! Our last day at this location will be the 12th, which is when we'll be packing a truck and leaving, so I'll have internet an…
Since I'm moving soon, I'm trying to get rid of a lot of things I don't need, and I think it's about time I loose some weight in the "piles and piles of art" department. I'm listing three different auctions for my artwork over on FurBuy, separated into black and white, color, and large paper works.…
I haven't had a chance to reply back to all the comments I've gotten, but just so you all know, I'll be doing soon c: I'm going to try out some stream commissions again tonight (this will only be my second time trying them). The stream will start at 6pm EST, and will end around midnight. I'll be po…
I need practice drawing furniture, right? But furniture is really boring to draw. SO, who wants to maybe get drawn as a couch or a chair? I will put your fursona's color or little wingalings or what have you on a bath tub, and we both win. I don't know when I'll get to them, but hey, why not. My gi…
Sorry I went quiet for a a week, I was finishing up my first ever translation job, and it was incredibly difficult in some parts. I had to pretty much put away the internet (besides occasional brain breaks or tweets) so I could focus on it... pretty much every waking moment. I can finally get back…
Seems like someone has taken to spreading my Skype username on Omegle. If anyone has any inclinations as to who is doing so, a note or email with their name would be appreciated, so I can talk to them about this. That said, I'm making my Skype name private information, to help stem this as best I c…
I only ever read two books from the Goosebumps series, but one of them left a huge impression on me, and I cannot recall the name. Googling the plot did nothing to help, either. The story was a boy stays with relatives, I think, and there's a werewolf in the woods nearby. It turned out to be some k…
Today celebrates year one of our marriage （●´∀｀）ノ♡ Every time I look back at myself from one year ago, I feel like the difference in what I knew and did then, compared to myself now, is simply night and day. I strive endlessly to become a better "me" wherever I can, and though that takes change fro…
Just wanted to drop a reminder here on Weasyl that I'm very open for commissions right now. I'll be moving to a new state at the end of August or so, and I'm trying to get a good buffer of money for the time which I won't have a job. I've also just been really inspired to draw in general. I'm think…
I leave the internet for 3 days, and what do I come back to? JON LEFT GAME GRUMPS. I'm seriously so mixed-feeling-sad about this, uuuggh. I'm glad he could leave before GG got stale or their jokes were just going in circles, but damn I am still SO SAD. That aside, had a lot of fun, got a lot of pla…
I've got some friends coming down from another state, and they're going to stay for the next three or so days, so I may be a bit quiet until then. Once I come back, I plan on doing an overhaul on my commission stuff, much like I did over on FA. If you'd like a peek at my commission form and Terms o…
Using a random choice generator, is the winner of this week's contest. Congrats! The sketch will be up as soon as I hear back about what I'm drawing :3
In order to draw in a crowd on this awesome site, I'm giving away one free rough, digital sketch! I will choose one person at random from any new watchers I get from now until tomorrow, 10:00am, EST. I will be making this a weekly thing with different rules and prizes, so if you're already watching…
I've been wanting to write some kind of journal or create some tutorial for a while now about art and the processes involved. So, here is the very first of that desire, in writing. I have people ask me often enough, "What kind of tips do you have for a new artist? How do I get better?" I don't know…
As of yesterday, I am off work and tasting sweet, sweet free time. I spent the last week with a pretty bad cold that's mostly died off now (still some coughs and hacks, but hey). The place I work at closes over the summer, so the last few days were spent working extra, being sick, and saying some v…
So time goes really, really fast. Things I want to do, especially larger projects that require working on for more than one sitting, keep getting pushed into "some day" rather than this day. Therefore, I'm going to try making a weekly planner, and giving myself assignments as if I were back in scho…
My husband posted a journal asking a question we often wonder between ourselves. We'd love to hear what other furs have to say on the matter of furry parenting. Just a fun discussion to see some view points on the matter. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4468096/ Also, I have several people in my…
FWA Report This was my first time at FWA, and I didn't know that many furs going into it, so I was a little nervous. The convention was fantastic! I met more furs than I can count, I feel like. I finally met irl, and he was super nice and adorable. He quickly became my go to con buddy, for those ti…
I'm going to be attending FWA for my first time, and I don't really know a lot of furs that go to that one. Here's hoping I make some new friends~ Where are you staying? Main hotel, I'm pretty sure. What day are you getting there? I think Thursday night, as per usual. And I'm staying through till M…
I finally made myself a banner :D I hope it looks decent, it's my first time making one.
I'm finished uploading the comic, hooray. I really wish the bulk upload feature had been a thing during that, that was so tedious =.= But it's all done now, and the pages are (hopefully) correctly linked to each other and everything.
I apologize for temporarily flooding the site with the Twincest comic. I'll try to take a break every couple pages so other artists' work doesn't get lost in there :/ Thanks for your patience.
What is up everybody? I just finished winter break, so I'm back at work now (I work on a college campus so when school's out, work is out). Right now we are just going through a training/cleaning week, and it is pretty boring but not too bad. My coworker surprised me with gifts today from christmas…
Hey everyone! Merry Christmas/holiday of your choosing :3 Even to you grumps out there that don't care for the commercialism. I am taking to heart the fact that I should draw more, and it seems my progress is decent, even with all the fun distractions I have in my house right now. I finished all th…
I'm going to be setting up commissions information in a bit, as well as streaming an art trade I owe. Time to get this place lively!
NOTE: I'm still learning how to tag things and users on Weasyl, so sorry if some of these are broken at first. This is going to be a long journal guys, hoo boy. Alright, here's a breakdown of my awesome time doing awesome things by day. I will probably forget a lot, because cons are like a whirlwin…
I will be at MFF this year, having fun and being silly. Here is what my face looks like so you can say hi to it. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9223014/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9223023/
