Heyo! Some good news: you can now find me over at BlueSky!

Yeah, still here, but slowly updating things as I can.

With social media burning all around us, it's hard to stay afloat with everyone I've made contacts with.

Stay tuned for updates and art dumps soon, hopefully. ^^;

Copying this from my twitter post, but felt I should reinforce it here:

It's deplorable. Between this and various other incidents and choices, the entire company needs to be slashed and burned.

That being said, the worlds created and the connections made have made such a strong impact that can't be ignored.

Azeroth, OW, and the other properties that brought us together deserve better.

WE deserve better.

Grow up and be held accountable.

My characters and stories may be a part of those worlds, they aren't going anywhere.

So... how about that 2020, eh? x.x

Things have been extremely rough on my end, and I don't want to bog things down here with any of it.

Just know that I'm ok, I'm still working, and I just want things to get better soon.

I live. News at 11. ;P

Whoo boy, time in between these journals is something. Then again, the job has been quite demanding of my time, and being around here is still just a trot through. ;)

I think it's high time I go thru my gallery and do some pruning. If you care to save some pieces, feel free to do so, but don't be surprised to see some holes from my gallery in the coming days.

Hey all, just letting folks know that I got thru the storm just fine.

The only thing I'm lacking right now is my Net, but otherwise I'm back to work and have power.

Twas one heck of a storm affecting an entire state, but glad that despite damages, few lives were lost.

We all bounce back. :)

Some good friends of mine are trying to get fundage to attend Eurofurence, and have started a drive with some incentives.

Geez, has it really been a year since my last journal? Shame on me.

As some may have noticed, despite the lack of journals, I've still been around with pics and I'm still on Twitter actively.

What has changed? Primarily my life and job.

I've been working at a theme park restaurant for the past 2 months, and has quickly been eating most of my time, but not for naught. The pay has been an immense increase and the potential for growth is much more opportune. I've been wanting something like this since college, and now this is my best shot to keep my career growing. ^^

That being said, I'm still hanging around, and still hoping to meet more folks at cons someday.

~ Horsebutt OUT.

Seems like we survived another meltdown, but not without some REALLY adverse notions. Its times like these where people need to realize one site isn't everything, and having backups is necessary.

To that end, I'd urge you guys to find me a little more interactive over on Twitter and Tumblr. I'll still be posting here, but you'll probably find things posted on those 2 sooner.

I've met so many awesome folks here, and have done some incredible business with fantastic artists here, so there's little sense in me leaving completely. But with a grain of salt, I have to err on the side of caution.

In other news, I managed to get my old job back after a year of being fired, so things are definitely looking up in finances and optimism again. I do have quite a bit stored up again, so expect an art dump on the places I've mentioned.

Hopefully, I might still manage a con again, gods and wallet willing. x.x

- Horsebutt, OUT.

Well, it's been an insane couple of months.

School didn't turn out as planned, but that may be for the better. Let it be known that school isn't for everyone, but is still very much worthwhile with the right mindset and the funds to do it with.

That being said, right now I am currently working 2 jobs again, but I definitely feel in a better place. I'm thankful for just having a roof over my head and friends and family that look out for me. If not for them, I probably would have done something I would eternally regret.

For now, this is also a warning about an incoming art flood! Trickles of new things have come in, but I have a folder just waiting to be dumped here, so be on the lookout!

EDIT - OH SNAP, 2000 Watchers?! When did that happen?! o.O; You guys make me feel loved. ;_;

Hey all, sorry for the lack of activity lately. Some life things have happened that have really shaken up my resolve and confidence, along with my finances. Those whom I've talked with know the skinny.

I have a backlog of things to share, but it's been on the backburner if only because of my mindset and time.

Excuses aside, I'm trying to fight the good fight, and hopefully come August, I might be back in school full time. For better or worse.

I know I'm only playing pretend here.

There are REAL people whom I'm depicting/themeing with my characters.

But do yourselves a favor:

Know what you're getting yourselves into, and understand who exactly the people involved are.

They ended up being the most wonderful people I have the privilege to call "friend".

I had some insane car problems ever since I got into an accident back in Sept. The replacement car I had gotten turned out to be a lemon, and has been too dangerous to use ever since I got it.

Learning my lesson the hard way, I've spent my whole day at a car dealership in order to get a new car financed. Mission accomplished, but since my bills went up like crazy, my commissions are gonna be slow going from this point forward. I have a backlog of stuff to post, though, and I'm not cancelling any that are in queue right now, so there's still more to be shown.

Responsibilleries. :B

Wow, this was completely overdue. x.x

Many crazy things have happened since Smash 3DS came out, so let me try and fill you guys in:

- Picked up a second job. This is what has been eating most of my time, but it is incredibly worth it because...

- I am posting from my new studio apartment! No roomies, large space for my stuff, it's amazing!

- Due to this though, my number of commissions will be dropping significantly, cuz I got them bills to take care of.

- It does mean that I can stream more often now, and I do have a backlog of things to post and things to color, so hopefully my presence can be around a bit more. :)

- Bullet lists are still fun. Don't judge. :U

3351-4279-3239 My FC for those interested.

Because my Jigglypuff will be out for blood. >:D

 wuffamute is in one heck of a bind. Please hear him out.

It's been a whirlwind these last few weeks, so forgive me for the very late update!

First, just a boost for  jonasxix and his New Character Auction! Use the link for more info.

And second, Megaplex! Even a day was enough to get an idea of how things work at these conventions. I've done a ton of anime cons, but never a furry one. What I noticed is that while there's still a good amount of events going on, it's a lot more social-focused than event focused here. Which wasn't a bad thing since I wanted to meet people I've been talking with, fans, and others.

So I arrived and was in time for the end of the parade. That's a heck of a start! Suits everywhere. Got flagged down by a friend in a suit and got established at reg.

Moved to artists area and found  siriusdog,  white_wolfster,  cylnx, and a few others (sorry if I can't remember your names/handles! >.< ). Siri and Arc helped me get my badges in order with their helpful laminator, and chatted it up with folks at the table for a while.

Ended up running into  irish-bear,  mrlabrador,  toastedwheat,  Renard_DeFleureax and a few others as well. Was kinda sad I missed  Maximus-Ursus and  tonkawolf, but I saw they were having fun at the football stadium, so there's always next year. ;)

Just a nice chill day hanging out with all these new people, not really attending any events. I needed the day off like this. :P

Looking forward to next year, and there's a slim chance FWA is within the realm of possibility!

Heyo everyone, just an update for the month (since I'm usually bad at these kinda things ^^; )

- This weekend, I'll be staffing MetroCon in Tampa! I'll be very busy in the crowds, so I won't be having too much of a break, but come on out! There's some pretty big names joining the show too.

- July 18th is my bday! 29, geez... one more til... THEN. x.x

- I'll be at Megaplex for Saturday! My first furcon, I am going in with no expectations, but my shields up. :x

- Finally, need some great commissions?  jonasxix is looking for some business, so drop him a note! He's done some great stuff for me in the past, and won't let you down. ;)

 siriusdog is going to put his design of my character Firepaw on a shirt for everyone to wear!

Between  corvuspointer offering a print of Thunderhoof and now this shirt, I'm flattered you guys can take them home with you!

More details on this shirt can be found HERE!

Just seeing who is going, cuz it's more and more likely that I will be able to make a day trip of it. :)

 siriusdog and his mate  white_wolfster are in dire need of a place to live. More details HERE!

Heyo, wanted to share my current convention schedule for the year. If you manage to deduce who I am, just please be civil about it ( think I had a creeper at megacon, still not sure about it).

Currently at KhaoticKon this weekend working as volunteer.
MetroCon as volunteer
Megaplex as a day trip maybe
Otakon isn't likely with finances but will keep as maybe
ShadoCon as volunteer
Holiday matsuri as volunteer
MAGFest as vacation

Got questions about those cons? Leave a comment! ;)

To my watchers and fans, I need to make something very clear and plain:

I am not here to cause pain or offend anyone with my commissions or characters.

However, it has been brought to my attention that I have not been clear enough with my characters and themes. And for that, I am deeply sorry.

See, the Native American peoples are ones to be respected along with every other race out there. And I have done them a dis-service for even coming up with my characters designs, themes, etc.

I did not have a particular tribal affiliation in mind for them, as I knew doing so would be wrong. They are also a blatant stereotype to existing peoples, and should not be taken seriously.

Designs, cultures, and themes are all used in a fantastical way, and are NOT affiliated with any real ceremony, service, or otherwise.



Real people have been affected by my works, and I need to make it clear that I mean no harm. As such, I will be adding a disclaimer to my page stating that this is fantasy, and any peoples involved are being played out with no ill intent.

Also, I will be moving ALL my NSFW pictures to scraps, to lower exposure of some of the more questionable pieces I have gotten.

To those affected, I am truly sorry. I started this page and character in fantasy fun, and only wanted to use the designs and themes in a stereotypical magical sense because I just like them.

Many other pieces of media have done this in the past and to this day, for many other races and cultures. But realize it's not really helping anyone to spread this kind of imagery.

I still like this fantastical realm that Thunderhoof, his family, and Firepaw reside in. But take note that I am knowingly doing it wrong. If further action is to be taken, or if there's anyone with questions or concerns, please note me and I will gladly address them.

New compy is up and running! Now comes the part where I reinstall everything. -.-;

But this is a fun project to keep me busy. Glad to have my toys back. :P
