Help this vid get 1000 likes by the end of March!

https://youtu.be/95Noqons3gQ?si=SmoSoMUUl2yczkoE Not doing it for clout or anything of that matter. We got it up to 200K views before the end of February, so I just want to see if we can get it up to 1000 likes before the end of March! Posted using PostyBirb

Help me get this vid to 200K views! (Voluntary)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95Noqons3gQ ^This animation I commissioned from KastmiCat on Twitter last year has been getting a lot of views lately, and I want to see if I can get it up to 200,000 views before the end of February. Now I don't expect people to just spam this all willy-nilly, thoug…

I need to change my upload schedule...

I can't manage the same level of output I used to a few years ago. I was trying to do the one-a-day thing again, but I've been finding my process taking longer than before due to 1. being out of practice and 2. fussing over detailing now. I feel like I'm in a transitional phase in my art/writing ca…

This Cursemaster needs help...

I really didn't want to go this route, especially since I know "begging for money online" is stigmatized in a lot of cases. As it stands right now, since commissions are slow at the moment, I'm getting a little desperate. I'm down to my last $500 in savings and, as of Thanksgiving (though things we…

Forgive my Inactivity...

I'm not intentionally trying to ignore Weasyl right now. I honestly just don't have anything new to post here due to circumstances currently going on in my real life. Furthermore, I'm also trying to put more focus back on my DA account for the time being due to it suddenly becoming popular again be…

Doing Some Slight Rebranding...

Apollo the Incinermyn no longer fits my brand or online persona and has for several years now, so I'm changing over to Pyra Jya-Luquay or Cursemaster Pyra on the places that allow username changes.

Pyra Jya-Luquay’s avatar

So...some news...

I bought a new laptop I'd been eyeing online for a while after it went on sale again. Let's hope I don't have to repeat what I had to do with my Win8 one after turning it on for the first time, lol! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpyg94OzHK0&pp=ygUfdGhlIHBvd2VyIG9mIGNocmlzdCBjb21wZWxzIHlvdQ%3D%3D

Removing my YCHs...

Nobody seems interested in the current ones, so I'm just going to take them down. I'll try again later with another set...

Pyra Jya-Luquay’s avatar

Why does Weasyl seem like the only writer friendly art site?

Like...it's the only place where I can direct link to Docs or upload a PDF and people will see it, as opposed to FurAffinity, DeviantArt, Inkbunny, SoFurry, etc. that force you to copy-paste things. I take this personally because I actually know how to format my work so that it looks presentable or…

One Thing I Would Like to do Here...

Catalogue my Pokemon collectables via a small photographic archive (i.e. folder full of pics from my personal collection of things), but I noticed there's a little addendum in the guidelines that you're not supposed to that unless it's done in an artistic way... So...do them up as presentation piec…

Taking an indefinite hiatus from social media...

By that, I mean Twitter. My reasoning is to actually put the focus back on ACTUAL art sites. So, nothing's really changing. I'm just going to leave my Twitter on-standby mode until when or if I feel like using it again (possibly never). I'm just tired of other people's drama pouring over into my fe…

Pyra Jya-Luquay’s avatar

So what is this...? Week 3 and the exodus is still continuing, roflol! XD

Not to keep toting this same line/topic over-and-over, but it is hilarious to see that people keep leaving FA for off-branching furry sites that were seemingly dead and/or forgotten about until they decided it was a "good idea" to announce a very vague and poor-defined policy update to a preexistin…

So, Etrian Odyssey is back AND on the Switch!

This blindsided me, but apparently the DS Etrian Odyssey games now have HD ports on the Switch. If you're not familiar with this series, it's from the same studio that made the Persona games. It's basically a D&D/FF-esque dungeon-crawler where you map out each floor of a big labyrinth named Yggdras…

Why my art output has slowed to a crawl...AGAIN!!!

Okay, less serious journal unrelated to FA now... Pretty sure this is self-evident, but my art output has slowed to a crawl again... Reason being...Zelda-Tears of the Kingdom! I've been playing it almost nonstop since I got it. OMFG, I'm a Zelda fanatic by default! I've been playing this series sin…

My Personal Beef with FA...

Personally, I'm firmly against CP and always have been. That's not the issue I personally have with FA right now. On top of a laundry list of various issues I've had with FA over the years, the thing that actually set me over the edge was basically being told my characters could be considered under…

Pyra Jya-Luquay’s avatar

So, wow, yeah...this is a bigger deal than even I thought, regarding FA...

At least in regards to seeing a huge amount of people I know from FA suddenly jumping ship and either reactivating old or creating new accounts on other platforms. It's like everytime FA "clarifies" or "updates" Policy 2.7 yet again, more people leave because it alienates even more groups of artist…

Pyra Jya-Luquay’s avatar

I love watching chaos ensue~

Because the staff at FA can't get their crap in order, I'm seeing a huge uptick/migration of artists coming/returning to Weasyl and Inkbunny instead. I love watching the consequences of people's (FA's staff) stupidity unfold in real time! XD

Welcome Hughsie!

https://www.weasyl.com/~hughsieartz Hughsie is a transformation/furry artist here from Twitter, looking to branch out to other sites and start-up commissions herr. He just joined today and could use some followers! Go welcome him here and possibly commission him~

Pyra Jya-Luquay’s avatar

I'll try and be more active here...

I've been too busy at my real life job to focus on art output the way I used to, but I have things from my backlog to ho through and post. Bear with me...

An r/PeopleofWalmart moment...

C/P-ing from FA... A short bit ago, I was at the local Walmart. I just passed this hippy-looking guy and his son with a cart full of unbagged merchandise and a 50-inch flatscreen TV on top. They were eyeing the entrance for an opening, so I decided to hang back a moment and watch them. When they ha…

Places to find me...

My apologies for infrequent updates. As I've said before, Weasyl is just one of a few backup sites I use in the event FA goes down. So, because of that reason, I'm usually slower to post recent art here than on there. I've been trying to get better about upkeep on both sites lately, though. Additio…

Impending Art Flood

Sorry if it seems unannounced and completely out of nowhere. I have an extensive backlog of both offsite commissions and personal drawings I want to upload the next few days. I'm suddenly tired of dealing with FA's consistent outages this past month and need somewhere to offload my bent up frustrat…

Anyone doing Freebies right now?

I want a TF/Flattening pic done of Orion here: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1271227/huntsman-orion-battle-ref Preferably of him done up in his girly-boy attire (old/alt. ref here: https://www.weasyl.com/submission/1011354/femboi-orion-mini-ref ). I'm back in that mood of having him put through…

Pyra Jya-Luquay’s avatar

Thank You, those of you who followed me over from FA! (small vent)

I don't like pushing things like that, but at this point I want to do like old Orion and beat the proverbial crap out of 1.) the hackers who attacked FA and 2.) FA's staff for their incompetence in patching up security holes when they're warned to. I'm not as tech savvy as I used to, but even I kno…

Pyra Jya-Luquay’s avatar

Considering a permanent move here...

FA isn't getting their shit together, so I'm seriously thinking about making this my new main for art stuffs. I've been sick of their BS for a while, and the main reason I stuck around there was because it's where most of my friends are...

Pyra Jya-Luquay’s avatar

And I think I've caught up with my vices...

All the character art I got from others on FA and places is up, for what I wanted to post here anyways... I might be back with my personal works tomorrow, time-permitting and depending on my mood.

Pyra Jya-Luquay’s avatar

I might revive my account here...

FA's on its annual fritz again... It's been a long time since I've actually posted here, mostly because my means to post personal art have been severely restricted since I had to unhook my desktop with a scanner last year... I've been personally training myself in better drawing motifs in my spare…

Kind of Taking a Haitus from Weasyl...

As much as I like this site, there's comparatively not as much going on here as on FA for me... I'm not going entirely inactive forever, but I've decided to kind of limit how much I do here until my real life straightens out more... :x Forgive my leave of absence, those few of you who follow me onl…

Updates are gonna cease for a little while...

With some personal issues going on in my life and current renovations in one of my family's two rentals going on, I'm about to lose access to my scanner for a bit since my father and I are going to need to unhook it from its current position so our landlord can do some maintenance in the room where…

Debating...

I don't know why but I'd been debating for a while whether or not I should make Weasyl my main art/story account. For years I'd been using Furaffinity over all others due to the simplicity of their uploader, but with all the crap and drama that seems to consistently be plaguing the site, I've been…
