Posted 13 years agoRegaurding the previous journal:
I have sent the relevant information to the FBI and I'm collecting all the evidence i can for a formal investigation. i thank you all for your support in this matter. It may seem like nothing to some of you but what he's done is still a crime and heres hoping he'll pay at least in part for his actions (if nothing else spoofing a webservice to send death threats and making death threats)

On... more than just Crazy, People
Posted 13 years agowhenever I put up a new crazy person that details someone rude, obnoxious, calling me a bitch and a cunt and all other WONDERFUL derogatory names for a girl, i get at least ONE comment that asks "people don't REALLY talk to you this way, do they?" And for the most part i can be honest. "they do but its happened so very rarely Im making a more broad statement of how people react in general to being denied something they want, so yes it DOES happen but not to me very often and definately not at the extent of rudeness. .... that was until, last night.
i cannot name names because the names used were subsequently deleted, dummy email accounts were made and crazy insane shit ensued. Those of you who attend my stream however know exactly who i'm talking about.
I had a member awhile back who inspired this comic: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/8265588/
Well realizing the error of his ways after treating me like women were objects, i decided to give him another chance.
WHYYYYYYYYY because I'm a humanist and I beleive there's good in everyone. ....whoops.
So... during the course of his re-instatement, he starts using my stream as a mouthpeice for his own projects. <This is a great way to not get on my good side. MY stream MY attention. I've worked hard to get the watchers I have and i will not have someone who ISN'T a friend is STILL on probation come into my steam and use it for thier own personal attention. No. Like Gen Said, Dinner and a Movie.
This goes on after repeated warnings, he never did anything major, just talked back to me and annoyed me on a more grating level, I was able to determine he was definately lying about his age, his supposed "masters" in college, and all around lying-for-the-sake-of-attention. I don't allow that. I do not tolerate attention whores who have to MAKE UP shit in order to feel validated. and for the sake of my sanity I merely banned him from the stream indefinately as I was tired of putting up with BS.
He attempted to come back again last night, which is ban evasion, i wasn't ready to let him back if ever, and banned him again (how he got past the IP ban I wish I knew)
I wake up this morning (since i dont usually check my emails more than a few times a day) and was met with two emails from this guy. labeled Service Report. sooo I was like okay.... *click* ....... oh... my.... god. Below are the two emails he sent me:
Well fuck you too. Your dog deserved death on that electric fence. I hope he suffered before he died. Those fucks in Colorado deserved death too. Fuck them victims.
and the second:
Here's hoping you get raped bitch. I hope someone sodomizes you with a 3/5 steel tipped drill and then eviscerates you and you die a horrible death. I hope the dude who rapes you also takes the liberty of ripping your tits off and shoving you in front of a train. You deserve death bitch. Cause you know rape is funny. Rape is just plain hilarious. I just love the sight of a female getting violated repeatedly.
attempts at responding were met with a MailerDAemon warning.
... BUT GOD FORKING DANG?! All this because i BANNED YOU from a STREAM because you couldn't stop talking about yourself for 2 whole seconds? what the hell is WRONG with people like this. (And oh yeah this is definately going to be a crazy people)
I deal with a lot of idiots in my time and most of them are harmless in their insults but rare is the wild Sociopath who thinks this shit is funny.
[Edit] I AM going to the police on this, because people like this should not be allowed out in the free world, Preliminary searches have determined they live in New york city, but i'll be cross referencing with other tracking services to make certain We're right (usaden is also helping me) before we alert the local authorities.

Oy freaking vey.. and news on streams
Posted 13 years agoSOOOOOOO fun fun FUNITY FUN. My parents have temprorarily kidnapped me to "go north" and visit relatives we were SUPPOSED to get back to my place tomorrow (sunday) drop me off, and be on thier way. but NOOOOOOO now im being dragged agaisnt my will to go to a graduation part for the son of a cousins cousin. ..... le twitch. Which means we'll get back to my apartment late which means i wont be able to stream unless I do it while they're there, not a PROBLEM but depending on when we arrive probably means it will be too late to start.
NOT happy about missing 3 days of work and while i would usually forfeit my days off i now have (mUCH NEEDED) prior comittments.
So we're going to be doing some super special....um... special streams for the next few weeks. First off MACRO monday on monday, Cohosted by my awesome friend Jadedfox. sometime in the NEARISH Future we're going to have another starwars day, also I have a final fantasy day and a Fennec day. I also want to have a day for Avids, I need practice drawing our fine feathered freinds and usualy use specials as an excuse to practice things im perceptibly weak at.
SO! yay. I know it seems like i make ALOT of money doing this but please note it doesn't streach nearly as far as i'd like it to and missing 3 days of work is making panic like nothing else. Sooo there's where i'm at, specials and stuff.
A thing of note i'd like to point out before i end this. I realize that certain speedpaints have been given.... brow raising looks and comments on how they are priced.
MY clients pay the prices, have worked with me and know how i run my business. I do art ON DEMAND, for relatively cheaply, and do it and get it to you all in one godforsaken evening MAYBE two if its bigger. If random idiots off the street who DON'T know me DON'T know my practices, and think the prices they garner is CHARITY. LET. ME. HANDLE. THEM. I am not the type who blocks people, hides comments, or backs down when i feel wronged by someone. If i haven't said anything that means there is nothing that needs to be said, haters are gonna hate, while i APPRECIATE when people ride in on white horses to defend me and my honor, it also undermines my standing with them for whatever reason that I'm suddenly expected to personally defend myself. I may want to, i may feel its not worth my time.
Again i appreciate people who love me and respect me enough to come to my defense it makes me feel loved and i get warm fuzzies when it happens, but unfortunately for the haters out there, they bash whiteknights and it hurts me to see my friends raked over the coals for MY sake. its like taking a bullet for me. OMG IM ALIVE... OH MY GOD MY FRIEND IS HURT IM GONG TO KILL SOMEONE! it makes me angry and i want to run to YOUR defense.
so while i cant tell you guys what to do insomuch as gently nudge you to say, when your whitenighting, please whitenight responsbily. :p

Minecraft: a strange request. I need help
Posted 13 years agoFIRST THINGS FIRST. any comments against Macintosh computers will be hidden if they are of a scathing nature, Ie : lol macs, get a pc. no thankyou, this is disrespectful to my OS choice, you wouldnt want me to bash Linux or windows if your attched to them. please don't use my OS of choice as a reason to make it a target of your derision.
ONWARD:
I have recently downloaded the Tekkit launcher pack. i would like to futher mod it and not my main minecraft folder.
three things:
I am rubbish at this kind of thing, most modding i do with games have been mostly straightforward but minecraft is out of my realm of understanding.
I want to add "mine little pony" to my Tekkit mod list. but all ive seemed to accomplish is disableing all the fancy features tekkit comes with AND Having to re-install it.
I have a pony skin but it doesnt seem to be responding to anything i do. I have no idea what to do. I've tried and failed to install modloader, and whatever else.
all advice please speak it in plain english as while im a fast learner it takes me a moment to grasp what im doing and step-by-step instructions would be helpful.
For here, merely state whether you can help and i will contact you with one of my IM names where you can contact me futher.

News and event planning.
Posted 13 years agoAs many of you who frequent my evening streams know, i have for quite some time now entertained the idea of of having an Artistic Duel with my fellow artisty friends.
The rules would be simple. two artists both work on the same subject matter but are given full freedom with said subject matter. it would basically be a friendly kind of "Draw off" the slot would be auctioned off and the money split between the two "duelling" artists. I'm still working out the rules a bit more, and how a winner would be determined fairly. I'm also working on how to "link" art-streams together, an idea i have is to make sure both artists are watching eachother's streams if only passively, so that no matter which stream you chose to listen to you could hear the banter between the two artists involved.
If anyone has any ideas on how to make this work please comment, I'd love to do this once a month for something fun to do.

Well Derpy derp derpamafrughawhuh? *stream issues and news*
Posted 13 years agoso as many of you know, Traditonal night was RUINED! *glares at livestream* by certain things transpiring.... i won't name names... *glares at livestream* which made it nigh unto impossible for us to have any sort of entertainment whatsoever, i hope they are PROUD of themselves. *glares at livestream* I wouldn't have minded as terribly if they had apologised for it when it started happening... but no, they just pretended nothing was wrong, leaving us all in the dark and cold. FOR SHAME, I HOPE YOUR ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. *glares at livestream, makes the "im watching you" gesture. *
in related news due to circumstances beyond my controll I coldnt do my usual thang. Sad but whatcha gonna do when the program you use is connected to servers that decide they want to take a powernap. SO what i'm getting at is, IF you want traditional DOG TAGS, HAND-DRAWN BUTTONS ATCS, POSTCARDS OR FULL SIZE. tonight would be the night to claim those. I MAY... MAY be starting earlier than usual but don't quote me on that. Jade and i decided we were going to play portal co-op last night and didnt finish untill 5:30 am for me. but man was it cool hehee.
anyway thats the plan, after everyone has claimed the slots and i've finished them for the evening im switching over to digital for the rest of the evening as per usual for my traditional streams. Seriously CLAIM THEM NOW:
If i don't have any slots filled by the time i start the official stream tonight, i'll go straight into digital.

I'm sorry.
Posted 13 years agoI'm sorry i have had to repost a certain peice of mine 3 times now and i'm sorry that I won't show uncensored porn on my personal gallery.
Reason: I've always wanted the FOCUS of my artwork to be the artwork itself not the arrousal factor. I realize that on some peices this isn't allways possible and censoring boobs would be silly. But when flamewars break out into comments I feel they muddy the water and detract painfully from the artwork which is the focus, not the price that was paid, not the naughty bits that were drawn , THE ARTWORK i am an ARTIST i am trying to make a living selling my work yes but with the greatest and grandest of respects, as much as drama is my porn, i don't want to be caught up in the middle of it, drama for me is like a sport. I love to watch it but i don't want to play myself, and when you make me, Fox gets angry, so. I reposted it a third and final time and i will hopefully have put an end to the comments of the like i was getting.
To those of you who were privvy to what happened, i apologise, i shouldn't have stood back and whatched while my friends rode in on white horses. I was under alot of stress with bills and then the power went out so there wasn't much i could do. For those of you who werent... please continue to appreciate my art in the purest of its senses.
That is all.

Seriously... if you have issues, talk to this guy.
Posted 13 years agohttp://www.askpapabear.com/letters.html
< he's being ad'd on FA right now and DAMN I COULD NOT ENDORSE THIS GUY ENOUGH. He gives an awesome dose of "reality check" and kind advice and help to those who simply don't know what to do. I haven't consulted him myself but curiosity led me to read some of his entries. Wisdom in droves and a nice healthy dose of reality leads this Fox to endorse Papabear.
Not that it matters much but.. Foxenawolf approved. :p

New producs, upcoming events.
Posted 13 years agoSo a new traditonal (or digital) product, is the button. The button is 1 1/4'' wide and can hold a custom drawing of your choice. for $10 +shipping for digitally customized buttons if i draw your fursona or design digitally and print it out to make a button, you have the option if you so choose to have more buttons made from that digital printed image. each additional button bearing the same design is $1. If you button designs you want me to make for you give the design to me, i will format it, print it out and make buttons of it, designs you make and have me make into buttons are $1 each with a minimum order of $10, or ten buttons.
Other news. I WILL NOT BE HAVING A FOURTH OF JULY THEMED STREAM. and it will take me alot to be dissauded from this stance. There will however, be a Themed stream ON the fourth of july. And that theme will be puppies. I will turn your fursona into a puppy. Why puppies?
several years ago my beloved, and admittedly, old dog Wolfie ran away and suffered a massive heart attack and died on the night of the 3rd of july for idiots shooting off fireworks close to our house. Since then i refuse to enjoy or partake in independance day celebrations, so to commemorate my Wolf's memorial i am memorializing him with puppies. (you may have american flags in your peice or sparklers, but i WILL NOT DRAW FIREWORKS)

Streams Streams Streams.
Posted 13 years agoA few of you may have noticed I've been "cutting back" on appointments lately. totally legit reason for this. By and large unless they're HUGE peices like Joe Zdenek's book cover or well... book covers... they aren't cost effective for my time. And I'm talking the hourly rates. Not often but sometimes I see people try to dive for the appointment rate because its "cheaper" in the 'short run'
Fact: it takes me between an hour to two hours to complete a $50 full-color digital peice. LESS only if i remain undistracted.
The hourly rate as it currently stands is $15 an hour, a rate that will be going up. (don't worry current appointment holders will be grandfathered in at their current rates until the current project is completed)
(A small note to the... 3 of you that i owe work to you still and just havent done appointments, one of you i've met at AC and know we're cool the others, totally sorry about that guys sometimes I just plumb forget, I will be trying to get sceduleing together so i can work on those and get them finished up.)
Fact: the money i make as my stream regulars are well aware, does NOT go nearly as far as you'd think. Living on my own and being supported 100% on my art causes stress, stress levels that require me to have some downtime when i stream almost every night. So any appointment-work i take from here on out has to meet the following criteria:
Will it take me more than 6 hours?
if yes, then the project will qualify.
will it cause me to loose my sanity?
if no, you will be informed, there are just some subject matters and fetishi that make me queasy.
Is the customer fun to work with, known for being relaxed but also reasonably picky but not to jackass standards?
if Yes, your clear to proceed.
A big thing lately is that i've had to balance people i LOVE to work for and people i HATE to work for, currently I'm at a point where my personal sanity is taking a slightly higher priority than pulliing in a few extra bills just so i can pay my rent and live without fear of getting evicted or have my electricity turn off.
I've been really leinent in the past with people, and there are people whose characters are a pain to draw, HOWEVER the people connected with them are awesome so even if the characters are uber detaield and i have to remember a million things about them, i don't care.
The people I'm going to put my foot down on though are the people who treat me like shit while i work for them. They are thankfully few and far between but they are still present in my customerbase. This also goes for people who disrespect me in any way during my streams. Jade will be policing the stream when she can, after the "crazy people 49" incident people were once again made aware of the fact "you don't want to see me when I'm angry" And while its funny and people tease and joke about how Fox goes Nuclear when she's pissed off, that attitude from me is NOT conducive to good business. It should NOT happen to where *I* am showing that i'm irritated let alone angry. Lately I've not had alot of mods around I'd like to say that's my fault, and it is, but I won't get into details.
I'll be working on the store a bit to make room for the newest stuff as well, the Speedpaints will be a nice addition but thier prices fluxuate so its going to be intresting to see how I juggle that.
Anyway more updates from me probably later today on various new products, upcoming events, etc.
Fact: it takes me between an hour to two hours to complete a $50 full-color digital peice. LESS only if i remain undistracted.
The hourly rate as it currently stands is $15 an hour, a rate that will be going up. (don't worry current appointment holders will be grandfathered in at their current rates until the current project is completed)
(A small note to the... 3 of you that i owe work to you still and just havent done appointments, one of you i've met at AC and know we're cool the others, totally sorry about that guys sometimes I just plumb forget, I will be trying to get sceduleing together so i can work on those and get them finished up.)
Fact: the money i make as my stream regulars are well aware, does NOT go nearly as far as you'd think. Living on my own and being supported 100% on my art causes stress, stress levels that require me to have some downtime when i stream almost every night. So any appointment-work i take from here on out has to meet the following criteria:
Will it take me more than 6 hours?
if yes, then the project will qualify.
will it cause me to loose my sanity?
if no, you will be informed, there are just some subject matters and fetishi that make me queasy.
Is the customer fun to work with, known for being relaxed but also reasonably picky but not to jackass standards?
if Yes, your clear to proceed.
A big thing lately is that i've had to balance people i LOVE to work for and people i HATE to work for, currently I'm at a point where my personal sanity is taking a slightly higher priority than pulliing in a few extra bills just so i can pay my rent and live without fear of getting evicted or have my electricity turn off.
I've been really leinent in the past with people, and there are people whose characters are a pain to draw, HOWEVER the people connected with them are awesome so even if the characters are uber detaield and i have to remember a million things about them, i don't care.
The people I'm going to put my foot down on though are the people who treat me like shit while i work for them. They are thankfully few and far between but they are still present in my customerbase. This also goes for people who disrespect me in any way during my streams. Jade will be policing the stream when she can, after the "crazy people 49" incident people were once again made aware of the fact "you don't want to see me when I'm angry" And while its funny and people tease and joke about how Fox goes Nuclear when she's pissed off, that attitude from me is NOT conducive to good business. It should NOT happen to where *I* am showing that i'm irritated let alone angry. Lately I've not had alot of mods around I'd like to say that's my fault, and it is, but I won't get into details.

Please help this poor woman.
Posted 13 years agoThis woman needs a bloody vacation, and a much better paying job:

I could barely watch 3 minutes of this before i was crying and wanted to kill someone. This is the kind of relentless bullying *I* went through when I was a kid. It's cruel, its relentless and this poor old woman didn't deserve it and no-one does.

Hector Fen: Character
Posted 13 years agoDisclaimer: This is a character I'm modifying for a DND game, this is for my own purposes, you are welcome to read the descriptors here but bear in mind the character will be modified as i get his stats/talents/skills acessed. For now its just his history and explanations on his motivations.
Hector Fen appears to be a mildly snobbish High Elf ranger, he has Red-bordering on Auburn, Hair, pale, almost white skin and pale glowing green eyes. He is thin even by most elven standards and stands approximately 5'4'' He prefers clothing in pastel blue lined in gold trim and uses a long bow. His companion pet is a young bobcat with normal markings and long tufted ears.
Hector Fen claims with deluded adamance he was once a Minotaur of a proud tribe, but abandoned it when they banished his sister for having an unholy mark that the priestess there claimed would doom them all of she stayed. Dismayed that his family would do such a thing he left his comfortable life to care for his young sibling.
When asked HOW he was changed into an elf Hector is unable to recall but believes it was the work of dwarves, which he actively distrusts.
Whether any of this is true is anyone's guess, but it's largely agreed upon that it could have just as easily been a fever dream of Hector's notably alchohol addled mind.
Hector DOES have one thing going in his favor as far as the question of his true race is concerned. His supposed racial abilities for an elf are absent, he sleeps and doesn't "trance".
Hector is a perpetual drunk and an unquestionable alchoholic. He's addicted to anything that could be considered a pain killer and is often so riddled with various maladies he would cease to function without his various plethora of coping mechnanisms. His liver alone is failing him which he only exacerbates by his rampant alcohol abuse. He's convinced himself in his deluded little mind that all magic, even healing, hurts him, though he does visit clerics on a weekly basis in what he considers a painful ordeal in an attempt to keep his liver functioning. Potions as well seeem to have a nauseating effect on him but a survivable one.
If theres one thing Hector does have going for him is that drunk or sober he's an excellent marksman. A reason alone that most people would keep him around. He dislikes being a burden to the members of his party and will often do his very best to make sure he isn't thrown out in the wilderness to die. He tends to conceal a good deal of his various maladies and their symptoms, and hates with a passion when male members of any party attempt to help him, as he only prefers it from women whom he thinks are better at the healing arts. Hector is so adept at hiding most of his health issues when they finally ARE shown, as he no-longer has the strength or ability to hide them, they tend to be cause for worry.
Hector has a small lawful streak but not enough to define him. if forced to steal he is likely to announce what he is taking to the owner of the object, this tends to get him into much more trouble. He also gets very grouchy very quickly especially when he is treated as helpless. He longs for the day his supposed curse is removed so he can once again be the proud Minotaur he once was. While a pacifist for the most part Hector recognizes the need to kill for survival and hunt when needed. He rarely eats anything, when he does is system tends to have a hard time digesting solid food and he may feel unwell for some time after untill he acclimates to that source of nutrition. Most of his nutrition comes from cider which he drinks constantly, though he will drink other alchoholic beverages and juice if alchohol is not around, he rarely drinks water as it "doesnt have any nutritional value". This tends to explain why he's markedly underweight for an elf, weighing in at just over 100lbs wereas the lightest adverage around 130.

Memorable moments from AC
Posted 13 years agostep one: need to learn to pace myself more, now that i know what to expect though, next year is going to be a forking blast.
1. Talking with a fundamentalist christian while waiting for my friend lina at the train station, (myself decked out in goth regalia) and (hopefully) convincing him that while the salvation of christ is important, getting there involves love and tolerance. "Religion is like icecream, there's lots of different flavors of icecream, my favorite icecream is blue moon and yours is vanilla, im not going to change my favorite ice cream to match yours and vice versa, we need to respect that everyone who like icecream may like a different flavor than us, but that doesnt mean they're wrong for liking that flavor any more than we are, and of course, there are people who just don't like ice cream at all, you have to respect that too." "But is jesus the only way?" "Jesus is the way for christians, i can't speak for any other religion and frankly, neither should you."
2. going absolutely crazy in the Zoo with friends for the first time, and learning that DEVIA kept (a general? I think?) seasoned vetran from the army, sane through 4 deployments. It almost made me feel guilty that ive kept it on hiatus for my own stupid emotional reasons.
3. finding out that CRAZY PEOPLE is popular and adored.
4. Finding out the uber hot german wwII soldier-cosplaying german shepard was gay, and giving him a discount anyway 'cause thats how I roll. Crush crushed but hey hes still an awesome person i look forward to getting to know better as a friend.
5. playing Amnesia for 30 minutes infront of Usaden who bought it for me, and curling up into a ball of pathetic wimpering I WANT MY MOMMY after the first five minutes. I hope you enjoyed that you troll dragon.
6. Getting creeped on by an uber drunk creeper that wasn't even furry and have my harmless pervert friend Boyce play security.
7. Meeting Firefeathers in person. i was al OMGWTFBBQYAY but i tried not to fangasm.
8. meething The Gneech by accident, same goes for Goldfur.
9. meething Kayla-na and going all WEEEEEEEE

Anthrocon preparations and reminder of price increase.
Posted 13 years agoI got most everything bought and taken care of for AC except maybe some nice lipstic (the ruby red i bought turned out to be "prostitute red" and clashes with my skin like a mother, i plan on using it as a highlight instead) Basically im down to curning out inventory in charms, and prints.
JUST a reminder that after AC digital ink os going up from $20 to $25.
Three reasons for this, since adopting my new inking style it takes a bit longer to ink a single character,
the new inking style has far more character and emotion that wasnt present in my stiff hard lines of my previous attempt. this allows for less odd-numbered pricing figures at later stages which will be less of a nightmare when splitting for additional characters.

Anthrocon!
Posted 13 years agoYay I'll be going to this little shindig in pittsburg called "anthrocon" or something like that I heard its this quaint little get together of furries and a great place to network and stuff so i figured WHAT THE HEY i'll buy me a table and we'll get in the shiz with all this little party they're gonna have there.
(yes i know its the biggest damn furry con in the country, im so freaking excited)
My table is N02 and i'll be there under my company name, Foxtayls LLC and my (currently on hiatus) comic Devia. I'll be selling original copies of the first two books before my publisher got all up in my buisness and had me change everything to color. So you can get those while they're still available, theres a really limited supply so please scoop them up while you can i will not be reprinting them after they sell out, my publisher will instead be printing the first three issues into a graphic novel and those will be colored with diferent art, if you want to see what it looked like BEFORE that nab the limited black and white prints while you can.
I'll also be selling Commissions, badges, charms, prints and custom and pre-made dog tags.
please stop by my table we're gonna have lots of fun!
