A return to FA (from a 5 year hiatus)
General | Posted 4 years agoIt has honestly been ages since I have been on FA, in part because I stupidly forgotten my password and also i was growing up at that time (Still am in all fairness). A lot has changed since 5 years ago and can't help but feel kinda weird seeing my past on here again with a little bit of cringing here and there seeing my past submissions and journals, though i'm pretty sure most people kinda cringe at their past especially during the growing up period.
I am still exploring and seeking knowledge as my younger self would say and have still maintained my namesake throughout the year though in different places like Telegram and Discord. Meeting a ton of new people and experiencing my first time at a convention in 2017 and my first time at a international fur meet in Hong Kong around 2018. I am saddened to say my drawing skills have waned a lot as i have been focusing on other aspects in life and one major part is studying and practicing engineering in college.
In all honesty, one of the main reasoning to have returned to FA was because throughout the 5 year it was kind of a challenge to commission someone for artwork (mainly badge commissions) as most of the methods was either in person at a meet/convention (which is rare now... thanks 2020 xP) or direct messages to the artist. I shall mention i have gotten a fair few artworks of my character now and may upload them with artist's permission.
Gosh there is going to be a lot of changes on my profile to better reflect my current self and just a spring cleaning of everything. It is time to break this 5 year old rust away and start a new chapter on here.
Though no promises i'll go on another hiatus again xD

Knowledge Seeking: Making Anthro art
General | Posted 10 years agoHey there, as the title suggest I am seeking some knowledge on creating some anthro art. I have seen many great beauties and furs that artists have drawn or painted just using their brilliant skills.
Notabily
DarkNatasha and
Tazzle are the only artists I know and love. Studying the artwork does give some kind of gist on drawing anthro, but I feel that's just not enough to gain knowledge for drawing stuff, like how digigrade legs are drawn and detailed, to drawing definition of a fur coat.
If there's any artist that can help, it would be best appreciated and may do a collaberation project with you ;)

K8200 Printer difficulties [FIXED!] :D
General | Posted 10 years agoI have built and calibrated a 3D printer from a kit but with an exception, the abs prints keep getting detatched on the first layer and creating a whole heap of mess as the nozzle drags it around.
I have tried everything in the FAQ in their website but to no avail, which includes sanding the heated bed; apply packaging tape and recalibrating the bed to make it level.
It is hoped that if fixed, i could start making... well, anything i guess like parts for a tail; little figurines; or the head of a fursuit.
Holy crap... I tried the tip, instant results! I just cant stop grinning at the possibilties i could create. Fursuit parts... here i come! :D
Updates:
I found out my nozzle was a bit wobbly (SFW) so i tightened it, still getting detatched but atleast it's an improvement! ^^
I've been told if i used a mixtute of abs and acetone, it would supposidly get the prints stuck onto the plate. My abs colour is white so... wobbly nozzles and white fluids to make my printer work. Hmm... i think i can see a trend happening XP
