So, I ended up skipping the third batch of stickers this week. It's got a couple in there ready to go, but not enough to justify posting a whole page and calling it a "batch". Well, one of the reasons for this is obvious - I've been working on another fursuit commission, and I posted a WIP of that…
Sucking is not a mandatory step in the process of learning - but it is common, so don't be discouraged if you do suck your first few times. Saying something is impossible is just a cop-out. Have you ever thought about grass? It's just these tiny little plants all over the ground, everywhere. If you…
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to ship it to the commissioner yet, but they did request that I model it - so I did. I just hope it looks better on them than it does on me, because I'm a bit small for this suit. XD https://twitter.com/Voltaire_Siano/status/1090991938306785280
Sketchtober and Art-or-Treat were fun! Some of the Sketchtober themes mixed really well with some people's characters, and I'd like to do something like it again. I figured it'd also give me some motivation to get back into drawing after I've been working on a fursuit for so long. (Seriously, there…
So, a new year is coming up. You excited? Uh... not particularly? I mean, it's just the continuation of time. Essential, I know, but not really anything that gets me hyped. Any regrets about this past year? A lot, yes. Mainly issues with work ethic and self-control. I just wish that I can use my mo…
Just so that there's more continuity between the different sites I use, that's all. Carry on with your day.
My Sketchtober folder Yeah! What the title said! And just like that, the amount of traditional artwork I've done this year has nearly doubled! I only had thirty-two submissions before October, including ones that were done for the purpose of my Drawing class back in Spring. Admittedly, some of the…
Still doing Ink/Sketchtober, just so you don't get worried. Only problem is that... well, this is me right now. (Watch the video until 2min 14sec.)
If you recognize the journal's title, you know what's going on. REQUESTS!!! Seeing as I've still got a few more days in Sketchtober, I'll leave open ten slots. If you get one of these slots, I'll insert your character into one of my sketches. The remaining themes are: 20 - Breakable 21 - Drain 22 -…
I've been holding it for five days... It's an art dump! Sketchtober and all that, y'know. Gonna' start posting and catching up after hurricane Michael came through. Speaking of which, power has been restored to my house! We had a generator running, so we had some power before, but we didn't have th…
So, hurricane Michael is on the way, meaning that I'll likely be without power for an undetermined number of days. I'll still be drawing for Sketchtober, but there's no guarantee I'll be able to upload any of my sketches. Jus' so ya' know.
I don't have inks... I'm not familiar with drawing using inks... I just like the idea of finally doing a "draw every day" challenge... . . . ...so... . . . shut up. XD I drew the first theme, "Poisonous," last night. I should be posting it very shortly.
https://www.weasyl.com/journal/133723#cid254242 It's Art or Treat! Like Trick or Treating, except it's online, and it's with art instead of candy! Felis' journal does better at describing it than mine. Go look at it! I'ma do the thing! You can do the thing too!
I took a few pictures at Emerald's Fur Summit. You can check out my Twitter to see the ones I took, as well as a few other pictures from other people.
I was tired last night, and busy all day today, so that's why this came so late. Short version (which also serves as an outline for me): I ate FOOD, chilled out, went to an event organization panel, suited up, did some suiting off and on, ate pizza and talk, went to the fursuit photoshoot, played t…
I'M FRICKIN' COLD IN THIS ROOM. So I'm wearing the arms and feet of my fursuit as I write this, because I didn't bring a jacket. Might get the head and hands on soon enough. Day two! A full day at the hotel. The short version? I ate, played Smash, drew a bear, attended a panel on fantasy writing, h…
Oh, by the way. I'm at my first furcon right now - Emerald's Fur Summit, down in Florida. It's a bit of a smaller one, so it sounds like it'll be good for my first weekend-long con. Um... I plan to draw at least one picture for each of the three days here. At least something, whether it be an image…

"As…
So, you may have found this journal on your search for a fursuit to buy. Well, I've got one for sale! What a coincidence! The info submissions for this fursuit should be easy enough to find - they'll likely be on my user page, and if not there, than near the top of my gallery (unless I got tired of…
I had tacos! They were tasty! My stomach doesn't hate me (yet)! And thanks for all your well-wishes. I was and am grateful to see your encouragement in my recovery. My appetite was still a bit screwed up earlier today - I wasn't too enthusiastic about eating much anything - but my ability to eat an…
Well, I done came down with something. Yesterday I lost my lunch... and then my breakfast... and then yesterday's lunch... as well as any water I dared put in my belly. It's currently 5:50am as I write this, because my sleep was very sporadic, and I'm having trouble getting back to dream land. All…
So, in the new RP server I've joined, somebody set up a channel for random story prompts, which people could then respond to with a short story. One of the recent prompts went as follows: The more dangerous a job is, the more it pays. You just took a job offer to stand in an empty room and do nothi…

Could Redneck be considered an ethnicity? We oughtn't be worried about trying and failing; rather, we should be more worried about failing to try. People say head-over-heals to describe a special mental or physical state, but isn't it normal to have our heads above our heals? The best part about be…
Organized with help from MistingWolf and Feline. Terms of Service for Fursuit Purchases Everywhere I say "you", I refer to any person who makes a purchase from me. Let it be noted that my house has cats in it. Due to questions of legality and other technical mumbo-jumbo, I will not do business with…
I have a quick hypothetical question. If you were to, say, purchase a premade fursuit partial for, let's say, around 150$, which type of species, hypothetically, would you want that partial to be, so to speak? Possibly a wolf, fox, or other canine/vulpine? Mayhaps a big cat? Maybe a dragon? Potenti…
Just wanted to say this now, real quick and while I'm thinking about it ('cause I've been putting it off/forgetting to mention it these past several days), that I have made further edits to my fursuit head. Whereas it used to be one continuous bucket of foam all the way 'round my head, I've now tri…
So, you guys remember that short story Do I have to Wait? Last semester, we were told to submit one of our pieces from Creative Writing to our college's literary magazine, and I chose to submit this one. As it turns out, I got an email a few days ago that told me that my story had been chosen for p…
So, a new year is coming up. You excited? I'm excited to spend the night watching movies and drinking soda; I'm also excited about having the day off tomorrow. Any regrets about this past year? I kinda' sucked up on the ACT, so I'll have to try it again next year if I want any financial aid. And I…

For one of our assignments in Creative Writing, our teacher wants us to submit an entry to the 53-Word Story Contest. I made three different samples, and will probably create a few more, but I'm not sure which one to submit (there can only be one submission per person). So, you guys wanna' help me…
Here's a question: Why do people always extend the last letter of a word when writing, instead of the letter that makes the sound they're trying to extend? For example, nobody holds out the "n" in "train;" they hold out the "a" when speaking. "Here comes the traaaaaain!" vs. "Here comes the trainnn…
Okay, just as a quick little update, I'd like to say that the first rendition of the ninth chapter for the story I'm working on has been completed. If you'll remember my last journal, I said that I wanted to complete ten chapters before I begin submitting it. So, progress is being made, and hopeful…
Being a full-time author for fictional novels seems like it would rely heavily on a near constant influx of creative thinking; imagine requiring that to make a living. If you desire to feel control in your life, just disable the Windows 10 update service and bask your newfound power. Heaven sounds…
First of all, I want to admit that I have neglected my normal weekend submission; I have a few sketches and ideas I can work with, but Minecraft has held a lot of appeal to me as of late. Regardless, I also wanted to say that I have a bit of a story in the works (well, I say "a bit," but I'm alread…
Yes, you! Tired of drawing your own character(s) over and over again? No? Very well, nor am I. However! A certain group on this site offers the grand opportunity to depict somebody else's character for a change! So click on over to the Conbadge Exchange Group, have a look at their rules, comment th…
Some of you know that I have a YouTube channel, but not all the videos make it over here. I just don't want to flood my Weasyl gallery with submissions from another site; this decision is simply for your own benefit. . . . Now that I say that, however, who am I to decide what benefits you? Should I…
As you can see from my most recent upload, I've added to my Minecraft creative world. If you're interested, here are the links: PlanetMinecraft (which has pictures and other stuff, as well as the download link): https://www.planetminecraft.com/project/creativity-update-12/ MediaFire (the actual dow…
Hmm... You know, it occurs to me that I provided very loose guidelines to those who wanted to sign up for my story; my fault entirely. I assumed that people would think along the same lines that I do, but that's highly unlikely. So, for everyone's convenience, here's a proper sign up form for those…
Hey there! If you read my stories, you may have noticed that Kindred Beings gained an unusually fast pace near the end (or maybe you didn't; I'm just going off of my own thoughts here). Well, I'm happy to let you know that I've remedied this problem! To the best of my ability, I've given it a more…
What is it like after all these years? You may or may not know this, but I’ve been waiting to make a fursuit for about three and a half years now. That’s a fourth of my life, and only about a third of my remembered life. To think that this goal has finally been accomplished is... well, not all that…
When I Skyped my friend just now, finally getting myself to show him my fursuit, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The reaction I got from him was about as good as it gets, however. In short, after explaining to him that my Minecraft skin is based off of a character I have, and that I had complet…
So I was sitting here in bed, sewing one of the arms for my fursuit while listening to a YouTube Q&A and I thought, "That looks fun..." So, while I'm sleepy and lacking in judgement, I'm going to post this journal! I think it would be neat to try a Q&A, even if I have doubts about receiving a large…
As Weird Feeling nears completion, I'd like to make another offer for people's characters to be included. I could simply think up my own, but if the story is based (quite loosely) on real life and real people, why not use real people and their characters in it? Any questions you may have can be ans…
So, next week is my spring break, from both coaching and college classes. Woo-hoo! There are a couple things I want to get done during that week: Weird Feeling - Remember that preview I posted a while back? Well, the story is nearing completion! I just gotta' finish up this last section, then go ba…
So, in a few test runs I've done with my fursuit, I've noticed that the ventilation could be a lot better. In essence, all the hot, moist air I was breathing out was getting stuck in the muzzle and doing nothing but make me quite uncomfortable. So what do I do? I snip a few holes in the foam work o…

Well, commissions don't seem to be taking off; I have a possible commissioner, but that's about it... . . . Hey, here's an idea: what if I did a raffle? Like, pay a dollar or so, get entered to win a drawing or pixel art? Would you enter? Do you think others would enter? And, perhaps more important…
Hey guys! I'm gonna' be drawing a story again! (Dr- Drawing a story? Dra- ...Hmm... Oh well.) Some of you may remember Far from Ordinary, a short work of fiction I made a few months ago. Some of you may even remember the comment I made on it, saying, "I do have ideas for how I could (possibly) cont…
Hey guys! I think I mentioned this before, but I'll say it again: the Conbadge Exchange Group is opening slots again! And they seem pretty eager to get as many participants as possible, so why not check it out at least?
I have a creative world that I go ham on whenever I have a spark of inspiration. Some of the builds are presented in my gallery, but that's not quite the same as seeing them for yourself, which brings us to my question: if I were to put my creative world up for download, would you take the opportun…
Hey, if you guys like doing getting art from others, but don't like paying money for it, this may be the thing for you! Conbadge Exchange! All the nitty-gritty rules and guidelines are over on their page, but here's the gist: every month, they open up availability to enter the exchange. When availa…
I opened a commission slot for a fursuit head! I'll be getting off of school soon, and should I get any buyers, that's when I'll start working on it. The details are down below, or you can look at them on my front page. A custom-made fursuit head, starting at $200. The additional price to cover the…
..and if you're the type to commission stuff from other artists, they're open for commissions! Their name's Pyraff, and they were requesting some help to get the word out. I trust you, this guy has some great stuff in his gallery, and if you don't commission things, at least go check out his work.…
Older Sister: "Wait, what?!? What the crap?? When was this a thing for you?!" Younger Sister: "That's just scary." Other than that, it went well enough. Now they're back to their jack-o-lanterns, not really talking about it much anymore. ¯\(ツ)/¯
So, some of you already know this, but I'm a closet furry; the only two people in my household who know are my parents--my two sisters don't know. Anyways, I've been working on a fursuit for the past month, but procrastination left it unfinished for Halloween. I'm really bummed out about it, especi…
In a world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, would distances be measured in feet, or paws? What if the Trololo guy is actually really nice?

Orders furs from a professional source. Order finally arrives, but one of the furs is the wrong kind and color. . . . "You had one job."
I’ve been in the mood to do something like this. Anybody want themselves a nice pixel sprite like this one? Well, you’ve come to the right place, ‘cause I feel like making some! If you’re interested, leave a comment down below with a picture of your character that I can use for reference, and I’ll…
So, I've got another short story coming up; think I should make a cover artwork for it? Somethig to draw more attention to it while it's on the front page?
Welp, I'm starting school again soon. I'll be dual-enrolling at a local college this year, which will be a first for me. Honestly, I'm not sure whether I'm excited or not about this, but considering it'll be something new, coupled with the fact that I've pretty much felt like a lazy blob this past…
So, I was working on a little pixel art thingy, right? I checked the time, and it was somewhere around, I dunno' 10:30, 10:45. I'm like, "Okay, whatev's, let's keep workin'." Five minutes later, when I finish working, it's 11:30... . . . I have the power to speed up time!
I'm feeling a bit happy as I write this. L= I just made my first online purchase. "An online purchase for what?" you may ask. "Oh, stand up! So you can sit down, 'cause I'm gettin' started!" Pause for dramatic effect. Fur Well, fur swatches--little sample pieces. But, hey! I'm finally dipping into…
To anybody who's interested, I guess. Nothing's changing, I just figured it'd be nice to make this more well known--I'm open to requests and trades, pretty much anytime you want! So, if you're searching for a place to get a half-decent work for free, I'm willing and pleased to do so. (I say "half-d…
I'm going to be out for a while. Me and and some others from my youth choir are going off for a week-long event, so starting tomorrow and going through till Saturday I won't be active anywhere online. I wonder how many submission notifications will be waiting for me when I get back. Anyways, see yo…
I was looking around earlier and found something like this, asking for viewers to leave their top ten songs, whether those songs describe the viewer, mean something to them, or are just plain awesome. I left my comment, then decided to make my own journal of them. Feel free to leave a song or two (…
I just got a trade from OpalescentConfetti, and I can't stop geeking out over it. It's in my collections (my only collection so far), check it out, and then go check out Opalescent. His art is great, and I can only pray to be as good an artist as he is someday. Opalescent, why you do this for me?!?…
Hey guys. I figured I'd let you know about some expanding borders, namely YouTube. I have successfully edited and uploaded an introductory video, so if you're interested in watching it, here's the link" https://youtu.be/Ov7k5my12Ak And yes, my voice really is that deep.
So, I'm working on making myself an actual banner. =D I hope to have it done by tomorrow, maybe? However and whenever it comes, you can expect a my profile to look a bit more personalized soon.
I don’t normally post random things with random links to random videos, but I just watched this and thought it was something worth sharing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDxmgTOKh7Q Real Life Heroes - Restoring Faith In Humanity - 2016 Seriously guys, it’s amazing.
So, I'm fifteen right now, soon to be sixteen, and so much will be changing for me in such a short time (you know, if I don't die or anything). First off, I'm gonna' be dual-enrolling for college next year. Secondly, the two hours a week job I have at my gymnastics center now will probably turn int…
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I'm not dead yet (in case you were wondering... you probably weren't though). Anyways, I was thinking I might make a sort of... tutoriel thing? For pixel art? Somebody was asking about it, and I figured it'd make a good little submission; either that, or i…
...It's okay to comment. I want to do the best I can on what I post, but it's hard to do that if I don't get any feedback on what people expect from me. The only submission comment I've gotten from any of my current followers was at the very beginning, when they first found me. I mean, if you don't…
Hey guys, or whoever's reading this, I've run into a few problems with the computers I use. My laptop runs into this problem every now and then where MS Office won't work, because it thinks I haven't gotten it licensed. Usually, I can fix it, but this time it just won't. I would use my main compute…

I've made a few changes to Chapter One of "A Life Remembered", and I'm in the process of making changes to the other chapters. Just a few minor additions that help the flow of the reading run smoother. Nothing plot changing.
I got to thinkin' the other day, "Has somebody already done a character like Volt? What if my OC ain't original?" So, I tried looking up characters and fursuits with key words that described Volt. Nothing came close. My OC remains original!
Dang, 50 views on my story already? Thanks ppl! In case you're wondering, I am working on the second part, it's just coming along slow for a relatively long segment. Unless you want what I have on it so far, I'll try to finish up the segment and submit it as soon as possible. 'K? ~Have a Blessed Day
Ugh... I think I've got a cold or something. I may end up taking a break from writing so that my eyes can rest, buuuut probably not. X} Anyways, I'll probably have another drawing out tomorrow, this time on pencil and paper, which is more towards my style. Until then, have a good afternoon!
