Post-Birthday update, and a poll!
Posted a year agoAs of yesterday I officially took one more trip around the sun, so it's time for an update because I haven't done one of these in a while.
You may have noticed that my output of art and things has gone significantly gone down, there are several reasons for this:
- Rock bottom productivity: I haven't been able to finish a project, even just a sketch, relatively quickly. Whether this is because of distractions or laziness I haven't been able to put out as much effort as I should.
- Lack of confidence in quality: There are things I've made and I may even like, but the quality doesn't live up to standards that I feel are worth showing.
- Niche interests: Inflation is already a pretty niche fetish, but there are silly things that I like making that I don't think many of my audience would care for. Muscle inflation is the obvious one; any time I posted something with overinflated muscles, I noticed engagement goes way down.
- Focusing on overdue projects: There was a small list of things I wanted to do before I started anything new. I didn't stick to it well, but that list is slowly shrinking and eventually I'll be free.
I'm not going anywhere though, I've just been slow these last few months. I love making my "art" and I even have more projects in the works as we speak!
I'm not dead, just slow.
Speaking of projects, I need a name! Specifically a name for the development group / team that I can call myself, I intend on making a website for these game projects of mine. This way you can download them without have have to resort to sharing possibly sketchy MEGA.nz links, and I can post them publicly without getting lost in a thousand other lewd projects, with the added benefit of me having full control of how things appear! I am an artist..."artist" after all.
I've narrowed it down to a few names but I can't decide, vote here (or provide your own if you want in the comments)!If the link is still here than you can still vote Poll has concluded! Results are being decided.
And I think that covers it.
Be safe out there guys!

No more updates for Tonight it's Dangerous : The Game
Posted 2 years agoI've had some people asking about this for a while now, so I figured I let everyone know so they don't get their hopes up. I'm basically done with it, maybe I'll come back to it in the future, but right now I don't want to work on it any more.
Sorry guys, no more updates.

Feedback Questions
Posted 2 years agoI have a couple questions for people:
What do you think is my biggest strength in my art?
What would you say is my biggest weakness that I need to improve on?

Full resolution art!
Posted 2 years agoDue to FA's new file size limitations, unless they change, all my full-res art will be uploaded alongside my gallery to Weasyl! If for some reason it's too large even for that, I'll add a link to each post saying where to go, as usual.
1000 Watchers!
Posted 3 years agoSo a little while back I officially passed one thousand watchers! Hoooooray! *Throws cheap confetti around*
The last few years have certainly had their ups and downs, but I eventually made it here, here's to a thousand more!
I guess I owe you guys a little update then: Part of the reason art has been so sparse over the last couple years is because I was trying to get large project after large project done. I alluded to one in the BLK Bloat animation, but unfortunately it never really got anywhere. On top of that, I gave myself another animation project which took much longer than I hoped, and then spent another couple months working on Tonight, It's Dangerous: The Game. After that I got around to make another full colour painting for the first time in almost a year.
Suffice to say, I think I'll be holding off on the larger projects for a while, thankfully BLK's little present took about the amount of time I hoped it would and didn't drag on as Bartan's did. Hopefully you'll see more actual pictures from me this year as a result of me putting major projects on the shelf for now.
Thank you everyone for all the watches and attention over the years!
Stay safe out there!

Oh noes, teh YouTubes are gone!
Posted 3 years agoYou may have heard about the recent deletions of YouTube channels involving inflation content, if not here's the gist of it:
Inflation animations and videos of any kind are being reported under "content with intention of sexual gratification", which violates TOS now and will get your entire channel deleted off the site.
Notably (to me, anyway) this happened to ModnarYug and most recently Oz. Not even having the video unlisted will help like I though it would, as evidenced by the erasure of SuffleWeasel's channel who did just that.
Wait, was your channel erased?
Nope! But I did pre-emptively remove all the inflation videos from it to prevent my channel from being deleted. They do not exist there anymore.
How am I supposed to watch them now?
All the videos are still being hosted on MEGA, and will continue to!
All future uploads will be split between MEGA, my FurryNetwork page, and my Twitter page as FA does not allow video upload.
If the video is small enough it may also end up on my Weasyl.
Don't panic! Everything will be fine~

Posted 4 years agoWe're in the home stretch now, only 6 hours left!
Birthday Gamedev Stream!
Posted 4 years agoHello everyone! Sorry for the long silence, I've just been busy working on things.
As you may have noticed from the title, it's that time of year again, and I'll be doing another game development stream for the duration of it!
Now, as my birthday is on a Monday of all days, I've opted to do this on the weekend. Instead of it being a 48-hour strait challenge (because I'm pretty sure I'd fall asleep at my desk 66% through that), I'll be working on Saturday and Sunday for...as long as I can stay awake, really. Most likely starting around 8-10 a.m. EST tomorrow ending at around midnight, then resuming 8-10 a.m. EST again and finishing up before the clock reaches April 12th.
That's the plan, pop in to say "hi" and watch a dragon stare at a computer for over 12 hours at a time. I'll (try to) release the game on the big day!
See you there!...Hopefully, maybe, I dunno I'm not your boss or anything.

I need a little help with Blender
Posted 4 years agoI've come across an...interesting problem in Blender as I was working on a little project, if anyone knows how to fix this issue I'd greatly appreciate the assistance!
As a notable amount of characters in the fandom are covered in fur, I've been attempting to render such a character but I'm having an issue with the hair dynamics. When I try to render the model, and the hair dynamics are baked, the hair has either completely disappeared from the model or the hairs have shrunken down really really small. In the viewport if everything looks okay, and I click a different particle system of the model, the hairs will vanish. If I "delete" the baked dynamics and toggle the "Regrow" property on and off, the hairs in the viewport return and I can render the fur no problem, it still even has the dynamics baked in for some reason (until I change the properties further).
However, another problem arises: If I try to style the hair in the particle edit mode, bake the dynamics, delete the bake, and render it, the hair becomes very patchy, like a zombie; missing large chunks of it's fur.
If anyone knows what's wrong or how to fix this, plz let me know! This journal, a note, or a Discord/Telegram PM is fine! (I can send you the latter if you don't know it).

Alt Account and an Update!
Posted 5 years agoHey there! It's been a while since I did one of these.
You may have noticed I've been really quiet this year, not much streaming, or art and any art I have made has mostly been trades or sketches. That's because I've been devoting most of my time to larger projects! I'm, unfortunately, not fast enough to create any serious piece in less that a week, so my time is rather limited and I've been devoting much larger things (in more ways than one, heh). I'll be making detailed pieces every now and then although it won't be as often as it has in years past. The next project is another animation, although I can't say much more than that.
In other news, I've created another account:
JinxsSpecularShowcase! This one is specifically for gift art and trades I've made over the last few years, that way people get to see what others have made for me and people aren't confused with which art is mine and which art belongs to someone else. I'll post 5 or so pieces a day in chronological order, that way I don't clog up people's submission boxes, maybe more but we'll see, there's a fair bit of it to get through!
Other than that, my health is well, I'm not dying, and I'm doing A-OK!
Thanks for watching me grow as an artist and expand across the web everyone! (Heheh)

Pre-Birthday Extravaganza!
Posted 5 years agoFor those of you who read my last journal wondering what I was going to do for my special day, it's going to be another stream, but this year it's a game-development stream!
But there's another twist, it's going to be over 24 hours; Friday at midnight to midnight Saturday (EST). This is assuming of course I don't fall asleep at any point, I might have to take some nap breaks in-between...
When it's completed I'll upload it, for everyone to play!...but not before a very long rest
For those who have been paying attention, yes, it is a day earlier than my actual birthday. Due to family and other things though, I decided to bump it up the day before just to sure I am interruption free (Or at least as free as possible).
I hope to see you then!

Update: I am not dead or dying
Posted 5 years agoHello!
As you read from the title, I am doing just fine, even with the new plague going around.
As you no doubt noticed, my uploads have been much, much slower in comparison to last year. This is mainly because I put off any new major projects until I got that animation done...which is still not done, as you can see. Then a friend's birthday came up, and told me he was going to do something for mine, so we did a bit of a trade, you see. The next month and a half was spent working on that comic I just uploaded. Those things talk a lot more effort than they look, believe me (Or maybe I'm just lazy).
Speaking of birthdays mine is coming up, and rather than just make some art and do a STREAM OF DOOM like other years, I'm going to try something a little different. It's gonna be a secret tho, no hints.
Afterwards...I was honestly thinking of taking a bit of a hiatus, or at the very least stepping back from large projects for a little while. It's not official though, I'll think about it a little more first, but it's just something that crossed my mind as I was working on Bartan's birthday piece.
Otherwise, despite people outside being a little crazy, I should be mostly okay, don't worry about me~

500 Watchers!
Posted 6 years agoSo earlier today it appears I reached 500 watchers, 200 up from last year it seems.
To everyone who has watched me, and to everyone I've met over the last year, thank you! You keep giving me reasons to draw and improve myself, I'm always trying out new things to please all you guys. It's so strange looking back, looking at my art from three years ago, it almost embarrasses me. Almost. If anything it's shown just how far I've come!
And just in case you were wondering, no, I am not stopping anytime soon. This dragon has so, so much more room to grow! And bigger is always better!
Thanks again, I love you all.

Weasyl Gallery
Posted 6 years agoIt's always important to have a back-up plan, so in case this site that's (allegedly) held together with bubblegum and string breaks down again, I have started uploading my works on Weasyl. They'll be in full resolution as usual, because why not?
It's pretty empty at the moment, but feel free to check it out if you ever need to!

What now? Results!
Posted 6 years agoResults of the poll are in! Brooke's new inflation picture takes first (10 votes), a new animation (And all the work that comes with it) takes second (9 votes). The inflation size chart takes third (7 votes), and...basically no one voted for the 3D model, save for one person. Looks like that will be put off a little longer than expected.
Thanks to everyone who voted! I'll try to finish the Brooke piece before the end of July. As for the animation, it may be a while. A half-decent one will take some time, even with pre-existing models to work with. I wouldn't expect anything to be finished until September, minimum.
Regardless, keep your eyes on the sky. Seriously, a few victi- subjects may have gotten lost up there as I lost control...

What now? [POLL]
Posted 6 years agoSo now that all serious obligations regarding are dealt with, what should I do next? I've got a lot of ideas but can't seem to decide, here are the options I've come up with though:
Brooke Inflation picture - Remember Brooke? The blue jay I haven't made art of in almost a year? Yeah, I'm think of creating something with her as the focus. I'm not sure what, but I'll come up with something.
Inflation size chart for Jinxorskii - A little chart showing all the shapes Jinx changes into when he expands into various sizes. This guy can get quite big so there are a few of them!
Jinxorskii's 3D Model - As it says, I've been working on a 3D model for Jinx but haven't in a while, should I continue that?
Start a new inflation animation - "You said you were working on one back in September idiot, WHERE IS IT?"...Yeeeaaah, that didn't exactly turn out as planned. Should I seriously plan on making one? I have a few models lying around I could use...

Birthday Stream of DOOM...Tomorrow
Posted 6 years agoDue to a sudden change in plans, I can't stream like I was going to tonight. Instead I'm going to stream all day tomorrow! Or at least as long as I can, starting at 10 AM EST.
It's a request stream, but things will go a little different than what you may be used to!
Da rulez (During the stream):
-On my mark, you will have 30 seconds to come up with as many nouns and adjectives (SFW) as you can
-Said nouns and adjectives will end up on a wheel
-I will spin the wheel 4 times
-I will end up drawing a result of each of the 4 nouns
Please do not request any characters or demand certain things to be drawn, it's all going to be random, I will be just as surprised as you.
I hope to see you then!

Uploaded the wrong story!
Posted 7 years agoSorry to everyone who was confused about the story I uploaded yesterday, turns out I uploaded the completely wrong one! *sigh*
That should be corrected now, enjoy what I was actually given the other day.

300 Watchers and Other Things
Posted 7 years agoWell, thanks to that tiny animation I've managed to reach 300 watchers! Not to mention that thing has already become the most popular piece I've uploaded (currently) in a period of 3 days. Wow.
I think it's pretty safe to say we'll be seeing some more animations in the future, which I have actually started working on! I don't have much done yet, nor do I know when it'll be finished. However, as always, do expect more bigness on your horizons!
