I mean, more than 3 decades of Mario games, and many dozens of Mario games and adaptations in all forms, and TENS OF THOUSANDS of fanart (SFW and NSFW) in all these years, and NOW people are saying things like: "I wanna draw Bowser" "Bowser is so hot" "Daddy!"

I honestly don't get it. I mean, isn't that what a LOT of people have been saying for years?

Hello and good day, my friends and watchers alike! I hope you are all doing great! I have an announcement and a question for you below.

---

In all my years here, I have yet to commission one thing: An animated commission.

I generally avoided such a thing, majorly because those types of commissions are very expensive. However, since I've been given new duties from work and a raise in salary earlier this year, I think I'm quite confident that I'll be to commission an animated comm by next year.

But if that's the case, then that means that I will have to postpone any personal and shared commissions planned if I decide to go through with this.

---

Also, I have a question in regards to my content: I have a feeling that I'm losing my audience probably due to lack of content (or lack of quality/interesting content) and thus lowering myself in the Furaffinity Algorithm.

Maybe it's due to most users being more focused on Twitter? Maybe I'm just being paranoid?

But I would like to know what exactly I'm doing wrong and, if I am, how can I improve my content? What do you want to see? What characters of mine do you want to see more of? Any suggestions you have would be most appreciative.

Alrighty, everyone! The Free Art Raffle will begin now!

Hello, everyone!

I will host my Free Art Raffle this weekend, either Saturday or Sunday. Please be mindful that I am still on hiatus, and whoever wins, the prize will have to wait until June or July.

BUT if there is an artist opening that fits with my budget range, then I will resume commissioning early ^^

The raffle will run for one week, and afterwards I will choose the winner via Random.Org

See you all this weekend!

Hello my dear watchers! I'd like to discuss my plans for a Free Art Raffle that I think is long overdue. Due to a variety of reasons, a lack of money being a major one, I was unable to host an art raffle to celebrate 3000 watchers.

Currently I am on hiatus, but I am confident to return to commissioning between June or July. One of the first (or second) thing that I'll do is finally host a Free Art Raffle. However, I'm thinking of hosting it early. Perhaps mid-late May.

Related to commissioning, I've mentioned that my bank card had expired last month and I didn't know when I'd be getting one. After some encouragement from a couple friends and family, I decided to open a new bank account (one that's closer to me) and a new bank card from the new one. The old one I've already closed after trying out the new card and it worked great!

In regards to the prize, it will be a two character commission featuring one of my characters with the winning user's character. I was contemplating a three character prize, but since I already had that as a prize previously, I'll just do that next time.

As for the artist who will draw the raffle prize, it will depend on who is open by that time. But I will ensure that it's a quality artist with a medium-high price range.

I'll let you know via journal when the art raffle will begin (again mid-late May)

Thanks again for all your support and sticking with me all these years, my dear watchers! Thanks again for over 3000 watches! All of you have a great and safe day!

1)  BarakKuda For having drawn reference sheets for two of my characters (Malekai the Lion and Ahriman the Bull) and the task of drawing their rather complex and very cool armor sets. He is currently drawing a new reference sheet for my Nordic wolfess, Valkairis, and I'm loving what I'm seeing so far! I would also like to say how sorry I am for his current situation, as he is from Russia and is in no way supportive of Putin's terrible actions. I hope you'll all wish him the best and give your thoughts and hopes that all will be well.

2)  Hamili For being an awsum person who has drawn some amazing artwork for me, and being patient for some mistakes I make when it comes to the commission information. He's an awsum guy and I would like to consider him a friend, and I a friend of his if he'll have me as one. He is currently open for commissions and I would recommend that you give him (and BarakKuda) a try and purchase a commission.

Thanks for reading, everyone! Keep being awsum and stay safe!

Heya, everybody! Here is an artist I'd like to recommend for you to watch and possibly commission.

Artist  Lerion

They are currently drawing a pic featuring my wolfie, Val, and so far I'm really liking what I'm seeing ^^

Here is their gallery: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery/lerion/ and their commission info: https://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/lerion/

I managed to at least get my last four commissions before it expired.

And in regards to how this affects, I would ask you not to worry. I used my card (from my secondary bank) mainly for commissions (and the occasional video game purchase). Other things like for food, clothes, kitchenware and other stuff, I've mainly purchase in cash, so the card expiring won't affect me much.

I don't know when I'll get a new one, but for now, I'll have to go on hiatus for the time being. But when I return from my hiatus, the first thing (or perhaps the second thing) that I'll do is host a Free Art Raffle. Afterwards, I intend to focus a little more on collaborating with other users who are interested in sharing a commission with me. Rarely have I done those lately, mainly cuz I've been focused on personal commissions.

Anyone who'd be interested in sharing a commission with me in the future (besides my good friends who've already expressed interest) please comment below (like which of my characters you'd like to pair with yours) and I will put you into future consideration.

Now for those who are curious:

1)  Hamili Featuring Ahriman and 3 different characters during his time in the war. SFW and NSFW.

2)  Flasker Ahriman again, but NSFW.

3)  Lerion Featuring Valkairis, SFW.

4)  Nexus Val again, but NSFW.

So that's all I have to say. Until then: Take care and have a great day!

Go support them if you can, as they are one of many who are suffering from the effects of the war: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10158232/

As probably all of you are aware, Vladimir Putin has declared war on Ukraine and the Russian military is currently invading Ukraine.

From what I've seen and heard, it's just terrible. Sirens blaring in cities, bombings and destruction, traffic going on as citizens try to flee, and even death. Horrific!

I hope that this aggression will be stopped before this already tragic situation becomes worse. To all the people of Ukraine and the users who are from there, I wish you all to be safe! May we all triumph against this hostility and the aggressors be punished!

---

Unless they are in support of Putin's actions, I would please beg my watchers to not condemn any Russian artist or users for their governments actions.

I'm saying this now because one of the people that I'm watching here said something about buying their last commission from a Russian artist, and that they won't be buying from any of them (Russian Artists in general, I think) for the foreseeable future.

Shocking, and I'm quite disgusted by such a statement tbh. Cuz it sounds like they are blaming ALL people from Russia because of what's happening in Ukraine. As far as I can tell, NOT ALL Russian citizens support Putin's invasion.

Firstly, my bank card that I use to purchase commissions will expire soon. I dunno when I can get a new one, because I'll be very busy with work. And, you know, the pandemic going on and other stuff. So when my card expires, I'll be on hiatus for an indefinite amount of time.

When I do get a new card and return to commissioning, I think the first thing I'll do is hold a Free Art Raffle. But to ask you all a question: What do you want to see in the future? And what can I do better if you find what I do underwhelming?

Like which of my characters do you want to see more of? Which pairings? What scenarios and backgrounds? Endless possibilities that I would ask you suggest in the comment section.

I'm partly asking you for your suggestions because I'm rather burnt out of ideas.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions that you'll make in the comments. Thank you all and I hope you have a great 2022!

Heya, everyone! As the title says, I had the covid virus but I'm fully recovered.

It was a rather scary time for me. I had managed to avoid catching the virus for nearly two years, and earlier last month, my luck finally ran out.

Surprisingly enough, it wasn't that bad. I had a fever, soar throat and a headache, but it only last for more than a day. I had thought that maybe it would have lasted more than that tbh. After that, I felt very fine.

I guess you can say I was unlucky and lucky, huh?

Regardless, I hope that all of you remain safe and healthy. And to those who did catch the virus, I wish you a speedy recovery and that all will be well!

Take care and have a great 2022!

I tried to pay an artist for a commission, and it didn't seem to go through. I didn't save the full message, but here is what it read when I tried to send payment:

"Looks like your transaction is being processed. We'll send you an email confirmation shortly."

Well it's been about 6 hours or more since I got that and I have yet to receive the email confirmation or whatever. As a pre-caution, I have told the artist that their payment will be delayed in a day or two just to prevent accidentally paying TWICE due to impatience.

EDIT: I also checked my transaction summary and it doesn't show any transactions being processed or pending.

EDIT 2: I also called my bank, and they said that nothing from my balance was deducted. My balance remains the same.

Has anyone encountered this before? If so, what does this mean and what do I have to do?

Heya, everyone! I hope you are all having a great December! 2022 is almost upon us and one of the my Christmas and New Years wishes is for this frakking virus to just frak off so that things can finally get back to normal! lol

I hope that Christmas and New Years day will be days of joy, festivity and happy times with all our friends and family!

Sadly for me, I believe that Christmas and New Years will not be as great for me compared to most. My country and city are currently suffering the effects of a natural disaster, and somethings are not functioning properly due to the damages.

It was a scary moment, but my family and I are safe. It's still tragic because said natural disaster also claimed the lives of several innocents people in some areas in my country. My wishes and condolences to the people who lost their lives because of it.

Another of my Christmas and New Years wishes is for you, my friends and watchers, to all be safe and enjoy the last days of 2021. All of you, thank you so much for your praise and kind words. Lets all hope that 2022 will be a great year for us all.

Keep being awsum, everyone!

I did kinda like her from the trailers, but after seeing this clip? She's so fucking adorable!!! Spoiled perhaps. but adorable ^^

Gonna help prepare dinner for the family later today. I hope things will turn out well for me and all of you! May all of you have a great and safe turkey day!

The first Sing movie, though I enjoyed it due to the songs and because of Ash and Johnny, was such a cliche storm that you could already tell what was going to happen by the end of it.

I watched the second trailer for Sing 2. Having watched the first trailer, I already had an idea of how the movie will end and how the characters will resolve their conflicts and such. But with the second trailer? Yeah, the creators seem to be so self aware that the movie is such a cliche storm that they aren't even hiding most of the major resolutions.

1) Major plot element is Clay Calloway being brought to perform. He refuses due to still grieving the death of his wife. But surprise! He finds passion to sing again! Buuuuttttt regardless, I'm looking forward to the full duet with him and Ash ^^

2) Surprise, Surprise! Jimmy Crystal is a villain and tries to dispose of Buster.

3) Meena has stage fright again. But don't worry! Her love interest will give her the encouragement she needs to sing in front of an even larger crowd compared to the first movie!

4) Johnny's dad is apparently out of prison

5) Johnny's gonna become a great dancer despite his instructors lack of faith.

All this won't prevent me from watching the sequel, but damn! Why did they have to reveal so much?!
