Normally, I don't really like participating in meme stuff, but... this one actually strikes a particularly emotional chord for me, since a lot of my life revolves addressing and dealing with assumptions that have a tendency to be made about me. So I figured why not roll with it. A bunch of folks I'…
So I've finally done it. I've gotten myself a protractor and a compass in order to figure out the proper proportional construction of a whole lot of things, first and foremost a dragon head (obviously). So you might recall this piece of mine, the lizard-skull deconstruction. This was actually an am…
Since Weasyl started, there's been a very specific goal in mind: make a better, more communal and more functional art site than any of the likes we've seen before. Like the infamous complexity of the game Go-- or perhaps more lewdly, the Lemon test as it applies to pornography-- it's easily identif…
It would appear the poor wording of the previous journal left a sour taste in the mouths of a lot of artists. The worst tastes among them were the feelings that we were asking for artistic bribes as a means of advancing the development of the site, the implication of which was that simply working o…
I've been drawing a whole lot this weekend. I've been on a huge deconstruction kick as of late, since I've discovered some of the key pieces I've been needing to do transforms on lines and whatnot. And there's something that's sort of irritated me throughout this whole process. I suppose it's the v…
An artist I'm following commented on a specific aspect of how to become a professional. It reminded me of my own attempts at breaking into professional industries of creativity and craft, so I felt like writing a rather long response. It touches on what my experiences have told me about what's "act…
Yanked this from Viral_Divinity. Felt like since I've acquired a few new watchers, and folks might be curious, why not. What's your real name? A work in progress. How tall are you? A bit too tall, frankly. What's your natural hair color? Unnatural purple. What's your eye color? Green. What's your o…
With every convention I go to, I try to get a gauge for how artists in particular feel about the site as a whole. Perhaps fans may feel this to be unfair, as I don't have a tendency to go out of my way to ask them how they feel about consuming said productions. Nonetheless, I feel the producers of…
So over the past couple days, Weasyl has been sustaining on-and-off DDoS attacks. However, the techniques they were employing to do so were mitigated. In the aftermath of the DDoS (and now that I've got some down time at Further Confusion), I decided to take some time out to investigate the source…
Hey folks! A bunch of the Weasyl staff is going to be at Further Confusion this weekend. We'll also be advertising the site with a sort-of-in-theme, convention-exclusive advertising campaign. Major fans of Grand Theft Auto 5 are likely to be amusingly tickled at the parody we're going with. Find al…
For those who are following me, you're going to be seeing a lot of what look like "repeat" submissions, because the difference in the files is on a byte level. Meaning, these changes won't be reflected visually. Sorry for that. I need to test how images are rendered and accepted on this site as par…
Hi. I'm a developer for Weasyl. Specifically, my role is project management here on the site. I organize our coders when necessary, chunk up things into individual tasks to be accomplished, rally the troops, that sort of thing. Rather basic, unintrusive stuff to help our coders more than anything.…
One artist pointed out that the jaw-bone isn't supposed to start under the ear. I'm going to try and figure out an aesthetically pleasing place to put it in relation to the proportions. Another referred me to the golden ratio. I think this is going to come in really handy actually-- being able to a…
So my personal universe started spilling out of my head this weekend. There are characters I need to write up and stories I need to pen. I'm going to be making use of the literary composition sort of stuff that Weasyl has. It's a rather interesting setup. I'd like to try it out. Regarding that, tho…
I've received quite a few compliments on my writing. This has admittedly surprised me a bit since I don't consider myself a great writer so much as an abuser of alliteration and assonance. This got me curious. So now I'll gauge some interest: would you like me to write you a short story? I have no…
So if you follow my commission account over on FA, you may be curious why my gallery has been naked so long. There is a reason for this. I'm struggling with how to treat this account. I'd like to perhaps give myself an alternative account here on Weasyl to actually do commission-related things with…
