Im doing something fun though so i figured it was worth streaming. xD I'm designing a mythological creature, though im still not exactly sure where im going with it, so im just scribbling things for now.
Btw, don't feel like you'll be distracting me from getting my hw done if you shout out a request, this project wont be due till 2 weeks from now so I have plenty of time xD I just wanted to get a headstart on it. :P

Posted 9 years agoI really dont wanna pile up more things on my to-do list but I REALLY REALLY want a portrait of Goat Sky now. |D (i finally have an anthro character i want people to draw xD) I wanna conserve my money atm so commissions are out of the question, but I'm willing to art trade if anyones up for drawing him. :P
If you dont know who I'm talking about, hes the white goat with the black leather jacket here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19552995 Hes normally a human/incubus but this was for a joke. xD Hes also in that... other thing I drew recently lol. If you're familiar with my original Sky hes pretty much the same character, just furry lol.
These arent the best refs of him, but if i find a person who i want to draw him, I'll draw up some more refs to help ya :'D
I'll only choose ONE person who i think is the most fitting to draw him, so feel free to comment here to try your luck. :3 (i'll send ya a note in private if i choose you) This'll be a really quick trade (i just want a one character halfbody portrait xD) so whenever you finish your part I'll most likely be done in a few days after you do.
Just as a forewarning btw, the idea i have for this image is kinda silly haha x'D
This'll be open for a few days probs (i'll change the title when i find someone)

How did you find me?
Posted 9 years agoJust something I get curious of when I get new followers here haha.
I usually assume that the majority of you find my art by randomly stumbling upon it on the front page/someones favs or that you watch an avid commissioner and they upload one of their commissions from me. But if you have a different story, feel free to share xD I'm like to hear how ya found me!

New Change to my Gallery
Posted 9 years agoSo after talking to some peeps, I decided that I'm gonna start posting my humanoid artwork again here. The reason why I didnt feel like posting that stuff here is because I felt like it didnt really belong on this site (this is FURaffinity after all lol) and also because my human artwork doesnt get nearly as much attention as my usual furry stuff. (which is expected xD) Because of this, I sometimes go for weeks without posting anything here. (my usual posting quota on other sites is around 1-2 things a week, 3 if im really on top of it haha)
But i figured that numbers shouldn't matter and that I should just post my stuff here anyway, plus I wanna try to be more active on here anyways. I'm aware that most of my followers are furries and only a tiny minority of them have interest in my human art, but I guess my goal is to kinda have a healthy mix of both an audience for my furry and human art on here, kinda like on my DA. I am aware that there is a human art audience on this site and that they're a hard minority to attract, but maybe I'll just give it time. :'D
So yeah if you're a fan of my art in general that means more art for you! 8D But if you're not a fan of human art, just bear with me haha.
The only other artwork of mine that I might cut back on still are my animations. They're just kind of a bitch to post on here xD If ya wanna see them just follow me on my DA or Tumblrs~

I Gave In (would like recommendations for artists)
Posted 9 years agoI’ve been trying to fight the need to get (somewhat erotic >>) art of two specific characters of mine for a long time and I can no longer hold back |’D Specifically of my two bby boys: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17888572/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18440854/ So therefore I’d like to be recommended some artists that I could possibly commission :3
I'm mainly looking for someone with a high art skill level who can draw humans or humanoids. Specifically males and someone who's comfortable with homoerotica. I'm also looking for artists with either a semi-realistic or anime art style. (tbh the style doesnt really matter too much, as long as they look appealing lol) Not sure if this is the best site to ask this since this is a furry site, but i'd rather ask here than on DA since the staff’s been really cracking down on this stuff. Plus I know a lot of you are experienced in commissioning artists regularly so I figured that might help me in my search xD The artists dont have to be on FA either, anywhere else will work, as long as I can contact them and pay then via paypal :'D
The reason why I ask you guys instead of searching on my own is because I used to commission a lot of artists a few years back but I've had a lot of bad experiences unfortunately. >< So now I get super paranoid when I commission people, and I usually refrain from doing so unless I can be sure that the artist is trustworthy and reliable.
I’m also willing to art trade if you’re skilled in drawing humans, but you’ll need to have art skills around the same level as mine or better to be considered. I’m also very picky when it comes to trades so if I do go with this option most likely I’ll only choose one person xD
Thanks in advance! :3

May stop taking commissions for a long while
Posted 10 years agoHey guys! These past months I've been swamped with work (work outside of the internet I mean) and I havent been able to dedicate myself to drawing as much as I like. I have 3 studio projects I'm working on (a 2d animation project, a 3d game and 3d animation project) with a quota that I need to finish every week, and coupled with commissions and comics and personal work, its all just too much for me to handle. Dx Lately I've been trying to see whats most important to me and right now I believe the work I produce myself is what I should be focusing on the most and what will benefit me in the long run. Commissions are important to me as I've been pretty much relying on them for financial reasons, but they've just taken up too much of the little free time that I have.
I do have 3 more commissions in my queue that I will finish, but afterwards I'm probably not going to take any more commissions for a long time. I have so many things I want to accomplish for myself, but if I keep taking on extra work I'm just never going to get stuff done and accomplish my goals. I hope you understand ;~;
I know a lot of my watchers here are potential commissioners, so I apologize if this disappoints you. >< This doesnt mean that I'll stop taking commissions forever! I predict that I'll reopen them to the public in aboooouuut... a year and a half from now? (when I graduate basically :'D) Once I have school off my shoulder I should have more free time, I hope x'D
Btw just because I wont be taking commissions as usual, that doesnt mean I'll stop posting art here! A big percentage of my original stuff does have anthro/animal related characters so they're still relevant to the site. xD
This doesnt mean that I'll stop drawing stuff for people! Occasionally I'll feel a motivational spark to work on stuff that isn't my own and there WILL be times where I'll give out chances to get art from me throughout my 'commission hiatus'. Here what you can do!
-Support me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/draggincat?ty=h
Since I'll be focusing on my own work for a while, that means I'll be able to give more on my Patreon! Occasionally I'll open up some commissions slots on Patreon when I'm in need of quick cash. But now I may make commissioning me a Patreon exclusive thing (for now!). But the cool thing about this is that patrons get 20% off of my commission sale prices so thats like my thank you for supporting me haha.
-I'm going to start doing YCH auctions
I've seen artists do these a lot and I feel like it could save me a lot of time than if I worked on a commission from scratch. Since the sketch and composition are already done, all I really need to do is fill in the blanks really. But since these will be auctions, it'll be a gamble if this'll work out, but I'll try a few and see what happens :'D
-Offer me professional or commercial work
I'm always up to take opportunities like this! If you have a serious project you're working on I'll be happy to help! But keep in mind that commercial work will cost quite a bit more than what prices are listed on my site, since you'll be making profit off of my work.
-Bribe me
If you come up to me with an offer I cant refuse (obviously with a price higher that what's listed on my commissioning site) I might just take it. (Hell I might even lift the nsfw ban if you offer me a pretty good price *winky wink*) Basically if I think it'll be worth my time, I'll do it. BD
If I do get into some kind of emergency, I may open a few commission slots here and there. But that probably wont happen too much.
So sorry to bum some of you out. >< I'm probably gonna lose a good chunk of followers from this, but please understand that this is something I gotta let go. QwQ

About Skype
Posted 10 years agoSo I noticed an influx of people adding me on Skype who I've never seen before. Im not sure if they're all from FA or wherever but I just wanted to let you know that I stopped adding random people for quite a few reasons. |D So now if you want me to add you, you need to at least:
- a friend or someone I've been talking to for a while
or
- a commissioner or someone who wants to conduct business with me.
Otherwise I might decline you, sorry about that ><
When I first started Skype I kinda just added whoever wanted to add me. That wasnt really smart of me x'D So then I started getting really creepy people sending me weird messages and tryin to like flirt with me or whatever (which I thought was weird cuz my profile doesnt really tell anyone anything about who I am or what i look like |D) So I quit adding people I didnt know.
If you werent a creepy person trying to add me I apologize for declining. :'D Just trying to keep everything less crazy. Hope y'all understand! :w:

Exp Commission Slot reopened! (new slot grab method) CLOSED
Posted 10 years agoPLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE COMMENTING!
So the person who took the last slot on my last journal couldnt decide on what they wanted, so the slot is up for grabs again!
The slot is still for experimental (free reign) commissions, and It works on a $20 per hour basis, so if you pay for 3 hours, you can get something like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17736574/ or for 4 hours, something like this :http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17739027/
HOWEVER! Instead of doing the first come first grab method I wanted to try something that'll be a bit easier and less rushed. I'll let people give me their ideas in the comments for a few hours and the one that interests me most at the moment will get the slot! (dont feel bad if you're not chosen, I'd probably do all of em if I could, but alas i can only take so many rn |D)
This way I wont have to wait on people's answers for so long and things can go much faster.
PLEASE HAVE THIS INFORMATION IN YOUR COMMENTS:
1. Character reference(s)
2. Theme (ex: gloomy, beautiful, excited, romantic, creepy) This is optional if you want me to have complete freedom
3. How much you are willing to spend (The limit is set to $50- $100 per commission) You'll need to be able to pay right away btw!
(only one comment per person please! thanks!)
Keep in mind that experimental commissions dont have a set style, so they could look like anything. Its all about artistic freedom! I'll usually choose a style that I think will work well with the character and theme you chose, but if you're more specific on what you want, then I dont recommend this type of commission.
I'll leave the comments open for a few hours and then I'll choose someone by noting them privately, so who I choose will be a surprise!

Posted 10 years agoThis weekend I'm taking some quick experimental commission slots. :) These are 'pay what you want' commissions, depending on how much time you want me to spend on the drawing. They work on a $20 per hour basis, so if you were to spend $50, it'll be 2-3 hours of work. So it might look something like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16518863/
Since I want to finish these within the day however, the spending limit im setting for each commission will be around $50- $100.
Just a few things to know about my experimentals:
-Keep in mind that experimental commissions dont have a set style, so they could look like anything. Its all about artistic freedom! I'll usually choose a style that I think will work well with the character and theme you chose, but if you're more specific on what you want, then I dont recommend this type of commission.
- I only need a character reference and vague suggestions for 'themes' (ex: gloomy, beautiful, excited, romantic, creepy) If you want an environment, a simple word or phrase will suffice. But nothing specific.
-You can add as many characters into the scene as you like, but keep in mind that the less you are willing to pay, the less time i can spend on each character.
-these type of commissions need to be paid right away since they will be completed quickly

Just curious but..
Posted 10 years agoIf I ever feel like taking spontaneous rounds of commissions again like the one I did recently (like a few slots that i can finish within 1-2 days) what kind of items would you like me to offer next time? The same halfbody things? Chibis? Experimental stuff? I know the halfbody things are pretty popular but i'd just like to know if theres anything else you would like xD Feel free to pull out an example in my gallery if ya need to haha
Keep in mind that I wanna keep the price range to be at least around $50-100 per item so I can't take super detailed or super simple stuff :'D

However, I'm gonna allow extra characters to only cost $30 extra this time. Normally extra chars will cost the same as the original price, but i havent done multiple char commissions in a while plus im feeling nice today :'D But this is only if you wanna another character in your scene.
They'll all be done by today and tomorrow (though that depends if the slots can get filled till then) but basically these'll be done pretty quick so dont worry about waiting. xD So as for payment plans, you can either pay upfront or choose to see a sketch, then pay.
I'll accept anything cept pron!
If you want to claim a slot, please comment below! I'll send you a note afterwards :)
Slots available:

All Slots Taken! Thank you!
Posted 10 years agoFor the May/June month period! Been a while since I opened them again, but its nearing summer so I'll have more free time to work on em! I will be busy next week with finals so I probably wont get through most of em, but I'll be able to finish a few this weekend. :)
ALL COMMISSION INFORMATION/PRICING/EXAMPLES ARE ON MY COMMISSIONING SITE HERE: http://draggincatscommissions.weebly.com/
I did make some changes to the site/ commission prices:
- I now work at a $20 per hour rate (which is about the average wage for an illustrator) so my prices have been adjusted to fit that timeframe. I understand that less people will be able to afford it now, but if you can then hey! Less wait times for you! :D
- The TOS (which includes the commissioning rules/payment plans/what i will/will not accept) is now all on the same page for easy browsing. Not sure why I split the info into 3 pages before, that was kinda dumb. x'D
If you're interested in commissioning me, please comment here to secure your slot and I'll reply to you with a note! I would advise you to check out my site first before you do though!

Btw, if I so happen to finish a commission before the slots have all been taken, that slot will be open! (this usually applies to simpler commissions that can be done within 1-2 hours though :'D) That way if you want to commission me, you don't need to wait till I open another round! If you see that they're all taken though, then you will need to wait again.
Just because some people have told me this before: If you're not a fan of the note system and would rather converse with me through email, you can email me at draggincat@gmail.com . Please let me know in a comment before you do though!

FAQ
Posted 10 years ago(I know this journal is a bit old, but I still keep it updated from time to time! Last updated: 2020)
Since I've been getting quite a following lately, I figured it would be a good time to put my FAQ here. :'D This FAQ is pretty much the same one on my DA, but I edited/deleted some things to make it more FA oriented.
Why did you call yourself "Draggincat?"
It was supposed to be DragonCat, but since that username was already taken, I had to misspell the "dragon" part to "draggin". But I recently changed my username to "Seyumei" now (its based off of my Chinese name) but since I can't change my username here I'm stuck with Draggincat lol.
Are you a furry?
Not really, I don't have a fursona or anything. It just so happens that some of the things I draw tend to overlap with furry interests (like anthropomorphic fantasy characters) so that's where I get most of my furry followers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What gender are you?
Tbh, I prefer to sort of have this "amorphous/anonymous" persona and not have my gender known online, as I don't want my art to get bogged down by prejudgments based on who I am personally. I simply want my creations to be appreciated as it is. If you want to call me he/she/they, that's all completely fine with me! I have no preferences, just choose whatever you feel comfortable with!
Where's your LEWD? I know you're hiding it somewhere!
*cough* itsinthescraps
Do you do free art/requests?
I don't work for free, so absolutely not. However, I am open to art suggestions, but this usually has to be something that I'm personally invested in (like my OCs or Fanart). But even at that point theres maybe like a 10% chance I'll actually draw it lol.
What about art trades?
Sadly not anymore unless we're close enough that I can trust you. Had too many bad experiences with these unfortunately.
Collabs?
Same deal with art trades haha.
Commissions?
I've semi-retired from commissions, but all my info can be found here! https://seyumei.carrd.co/#commissions My current way of taking commissions is basically just shooting me a prompt, and if I'm interested enough in the idea, I'll take it haha.
What art programs do you use?
I use a combo of these programs:
Clip Studio Paint EX: Drawing, BG painting, 2D animation, text
Photoshop: Photo effects
After Effects: VFX for animation
Can I share/post your artwork somewhere else?
I strictly prohibit reposting my art on Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram only. But if it's a site that I don't have an account on (like Reddit, E621, ect), I'm totally fine with sharing it as long as proper credit and a link back is given to me. But if you're on a social media platform like Twitter, I go by @/seyumei on most places and you can probably find my art already posted there. Please share that post instead of creating your own!
If the artwork I made was specifically for you though, you're free to post it wherever you like!
Can I talk to you?
Yes of course! Don't be afraid to say hi to me. If you are nice to me I'll be nice to you. I'm not the most sociable person but I do enjoy other people's company. (: I'm also not really the person that likes to share personal RL stuff about myself cause I just find it kinda awkward (especially if we just met). But other than that I'm a pretty chill, easygoing person to talk to though. Nosrsly getting me legit mad is harder than climbing Mount Everest.
Can I be your friend?
If you say this straight up to me, probably not! Friendship develops as an unconscious thing, not by asking someone, otherwise it feels artificial and forced. Just try talking to me for a while and if I think we'll click, then maybe something will happen! (You get bonus points if you show any interest in my characters whatsoever. ;))
Can I draw your characters?
YES. ABSOLUTELY. I'm always super happy to get art from anyone! I'm very open with my characters so you're free to choose and do whatever you'd like with them, but if you have something more suggestive in mind or an idea I might feel iffy about, please talk to me about it first! Here's a journal with a bit more detail on my character permissions: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10357935/
Can you teach me how to draw?
I can't really "teach" you how to draw through the internet. Plus I'm a really, really bad teacher if I'm being honest lol. I do have tutorials: http://draggincat.deviantart.com/ga.....7410/Tutorials you can check out though. My best advice is to keep practicing yourself and draw from life. Thats how I did it!
I hate you.
;-D
How long have you've been drawing?
Pretty much all my life. But I didn't get serious about it till high school.
How long does it take you to draw a picture?
It depends how complicated the picture is, but usually 3 days to a week for standard rendered illustrations. Cell shaded portraits may only take 1-2 days. Animations may take up to two weeks.
What are your favorite animals?
Dinos, rodents, cats and dogs. I like a lot of animals! But those are my favs in particular xD I also have a newfound love for goats due to a certain fav character of mine haha. 🐐
Always feel free to ask me any questions if you have any!

All Slots Taken! Thank you!
Posted 10 years ago----ALL SLOTS ARE TAKEN NOW! THANK YOU VERY MUCH :D
Kinda sudden I know xD but I also wanted to get rid of that last journal since I'm not on hiatus anymore :'D
In case you didnt know before, I jacked up my right arm (my dominant one) really bad last month and was unable to work or draw anything decently. Because of this my income suffered a lot |D It was a really bad and depressing time for me. But recently my arm has been healing really well so im able to get back to drawing! I do have a few more commissions im currently working on, but they're quite time consuming and id rather take a few lighter ones in the meantime so can have some more money coming in.
So thats why I decided to open 4 colored halfbody sketches! (with white backgrounds and texture overlay) The coloring style will look like this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15996965/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15998913/ and they will be $30 each. Its a bit cheaper than what I usually price myself so take advantage! :) If you have a character with a chibi/spherical body however, I can draw them in fullbody ^^They shouldn't take too long to finish so I'll probably be done with them all by tomorrow.
Since this is a bit different than how i usually open my coms I'll post my policies here really quickly instead of linking to my site. xD
- For this batch of coms I'm gonna request payment beforehand since these are rather quick commissions. Please be able to pay right away! (paypal only)
- I will pretty much draw anything you request EXCEPT pornography/fetish related things/offensive material (nudity is fine)
- you may request more than one character but please note that each extra character will cost $30
- characters with details that may be very time consuming (like very detailed wings/armor/clothing/patterns) will cost an extra $10 (this'll be a be policy i'll be putting on future commissions from now on :'D)
- when sending me your request please have the following in your note:
1)References to your character(s)
2) Description of expression/pose/action (optional if you want me to have free reign)
- please comment to claim a slot! the first four to comment here (asking that they want a slot of course :'D) will have the slots snagged. I will reply to you to ensure you that you have the slot taken and i'll send you a note~
Thanks in advance for the patronage! Really means a lot to me! ;w;

very important please read (might be on hiatus)
Posted 10 years agough.. okay so basically i broke my drawing (right) arm yesterday after an accident and now its in a cast. my fingers and wrist are still mobile but its incredibly difficult to do stuff with it, like draw, write ect. without any sharp pains. the doctor said it would probably be 6 to 8 weeks till it heals completely. when i heard that i was like fuck my life.
i seriously dont know what the hell im going to do now. specially since my upcoming semester classes are mostly drawing classes AND i still have a buncha artwork i owe people.
if youre still waiting on commissions from me or if i agreed to trade with you there will be quite a long delay. i am sooo so sorry for this, but once im healed i will complete all of them asap.
i can still draw a little bit, but its probably gonna be crappy, so id rather not force myself to complete anything owed. i want your drawing to be worth the money you paid. i'll probably just draw for myself for the time being. if you see a downgrade in the quality of my work you'll know why its like that |D
now if you excuse me im going to wallow im my own self pity. i might be kinda anal and depressed for a few weeks but dont mind me |DDD

Art Trades? [CLOSED]
Posted 10 years agoI've never done an art trade on this website and I was wondering if anyone would be interested? I'll probably only take one here, since I've taken a few on DA. I rarely do art trades anymore because not only do i rarely have time to take them, but also because people never seem to finish their part. |D But I'll see how art trading goes here xD
Thing is I dont have many anthro characters, since most of them are feral/humanoid looking. If you can draw those though that'd be a plus! I think I only have like 2 that actually look like legit anthros lol.
I'll make my choice based on skill level or if you have an art style that appeals to me. Make sure that the stuff in your gallery is your own stuff! (since i know people often post commissions they've gotten in their gallery) Thats what I'll be judging off of.
Because of things in the past I usually ask my trade partners to finish their part first. Seems fair if the person asks me for a trade first I guess :'D Once you finish your part I'll do mine.
So yeah if interested just leave a comment! I wont be replying to comments but if I like what you got I might send you a note. ^^ (this'll be open for 3 days)

All commission slots taken! Thank you!
Posted 11 years agoOh wow I didnt expect them to go so fast xD Thanks everyone! Remember if you miss your chance to nab a slot here, I'll also be opening 5 slots on DA tomorrow so if you happen to have an account there look out for that :)
Now I know I do have one more commission left on my list, but I'm still waiting on a piece of reference from the commissioner and I'm not sure when I'll get it. So in the meantime I'll be taking a few commissions! I just got done with Christmas shopping so I'm a bit low on cash anyways :'D
My commission info can be found here: http://draggincatscommissions.weebly.com/

Before commissioning please read this!
- If you want to commission a gift for someone for Christmas or commission a Christmas themed drawing, I cant guarantee that I can finish it in time unless the commission is simple enough to finish in a day or so.
- Just because some people have asked me before, I do not do NSFW/porn/fetish related stuff. I might let some really tame things slide, but for the most part I wont accept it. |D
Like before, please comment on this journal to reserve a slot. Once you do I'll send you a note asking what you would like.

Updated Commission Prices!
Posted 11 years agoHey guys! Just wanna let you know that I've updated my commission prices for the next batch of commissions I'm planning to take during winter break. I only really raised the prices for backgrounds and some more highly demanded things. (like cell shaded commissions) Other than that they're pretty much the same :"D Hope you guy'll still be interested though!
You can check out the new pricing here: http://draggincatscommissions.weebly.com
I'm planning to reopen in few weeks if everything goes according to plan. But this time I'll only be taking 5 slots here and 5 slots on Deviantart. So if you miss your chance here you can always check my DA (if you have an account there) to see if theres a slot open.
Another change in my commission policies will be that you can only commission 1 item at a time. I used to let people commission me for 2 items max per round but I found out that it wasn't a really fair deal, since it just took up more slots. :'D
If you have any questions feel free to ask!
