It's all still kind of surreal and still realizing this is happening, but I'm finally moving out with a few trusted friends <3 Not moving out of my country yet, but it's a huge step forward for sure <3

Because of this though, I ask you all to be a big patient with me for the coming weeks, or month, as I'll have to do back and forth to clear furniture, move stuff and all kinds of adulting. As a result, my commission and streaming schedule will be a bit more unpredictable, until things stabilize.

Thanks so much for your patience uwu

alright, ready to take new commissions today uwu

So, this is something I've been needing to do for a while.

I want to stress out that I really didn't want to do this xwx; I was ok with eating up some losses, especially as I still planned to move overseas one day.

But with how things are going, unluckily, I gotta make this change, since I also should move into my own place within the year and I'll probably need the money. So from now on, my prices are gonna be in Euro, rather than Dollars, due to...well, current events xwx; You can check out my prices on my FA front page if you aren't familiar with them. The numbers are pretty much unchanged, only the currency is.

Again, I'm really sorry if this choice makes it a little harder for some people to afford commissioning me. All I can do is promise to always do my best on my works and keep monitoring the situation, in case things get better.

I also want to take the chance to thank you all for the support I'm given every month. You all are the reason I can make a living out of this and I couldn't be more thankful uwu;

I've been thinking about this for a while...

Given how my new commission system tends to work, the side-effect of this is that my WIP section of the pat/reon ends up getting way less content than I'd like, so I've been musing over what to do about it. And I feel like, with me wanting to work more on personal art and comics more often, I decided to give the WIP tier a bit of an upgrade:

It will still get whatever Work in Progress I end up making, of course, but additionally, I'll be using it as an early access for a new set of comics I plan to do: unlike Team Little Gulp, this won't be a long-term series, but rather something similar to what I used to do years ago with my sketch comics, where I'd pick a more ambitious idea for the month and make a multi-page comic out of it, with backers being able to peek at it a couple of months in advance.

With me working mostly on commission work, I've been pretty much neglecting my own ideas for settings and characters to use in sizey and vorish stuff and I figured this would be a good way for me to finally get to dive into those ideas and also make that specific tier a better offering overall. As usual, I don't like to cut content off behind a paywall, so if you don't want to hop on it, rest assured that it will be posted publicly. I will upgrade the tier next month, only once I actually got a comic to post and I already might have the right idea for it >:3

I hope you look forward to it!

First of all, Happy new year everyone. I know the past year has been hard for many, which is why I'm wishing, for the sake of everyone, that we manage to make the best of the new one and push toward better times.

This year is also gonna be quite important for me. I'm gonna make an actual effort to finally move out on my own. I have...several options in mind and it's only a matter of what are the possible ones, since I've been wanting to leave my country for a good while now, to move to a place where I'd feel...more at home, I guess.

Art-wise, though, this is gonna be an exciting year. Team Little Gulp will continue, of course, and I have fun plans and projects, both regarding kink art and projects outside of that scope. Overall, I want to push to also be able to work on my own ideas a lot more, so that I can finally put on paper more self-indulging stuff that I've been neglecting for too long. This without disregarding commissions of course. The current system works really well and I don't plan on changing anything about it any time soon. If anything, thanks so much for the support you've shown through the years. You're all amazing and I wouldn't be here without you <3

On less...important note, this should also be the year we get the Switch successor. I'm pretty excited about it, not gonna lie uwu I also plan to finally watch more stuff with friends in general. Sharing my nerdy interests with others has been a huge highlight of having a server and being more outward with wanting to organize watch parties. Overall, while I have fears for the future, I look forward to make this year the best it can be. And I hope to be able to share it all with you uwu

I moved on Bluesky instead. It was just a matter of time but recent events pushed me to make the jump. The site was becoming worse and worse with bots and algorithms going crazy anyways. You can find me here:

Well it happened and from what I heard, I wasn't alone |3;

Looks like the mods started enforcing their vague new rules and suspended a few people, including me, from FA based on "vibes". Given that I'm one ban away from being permanently locked away from this site, I thought I'd give you all a reminder of where else to find me, since I don't know when the ban hammer will strike again.

Reminder that policing kinks never solved any problem and, if anything, it only created more trauma, abuse, unrest and paranoia than it claims to prevent.

hey, everyone, just a quick update, this is important if you're currently pledged or plan to pledge to my patreon in the future. If you pledge me, make sure you use anything BUT the iOS Patreon app because if you do, apple is gonna charge a ridicolous 30% fee on it apparently.

Looks like this one time is not Patreon taking a bad decision, as this is Apple pretty much threatening them to remove the app from their store if they don't allow this fee on their app.

So...This month I kinda reached an important milestone. Exactly this very same month, in 2004, I opened up my first kink art account on DA and started my journey through this crazy world full of amazing people.

It's been 20 years and I feel so humbled and thankful that people would be willing to support me and make me able to make a living out of this. So, from the bottom of my heart, thanks so much for putting up with me and my weird art. I feel like I should do something special this year, to celebrate this. I'll try to think up something!

I did think of silly stuff like, maybe a Sparky Dakimakura that comes in big and small sizes. But I'd like to also do some sort of celebratory pic as well...I'll see what I can come up with. For now...Thanks so so very much. I promise I'll keep doing my best!

I've been working with the batch system for a while now and, while it's going well, the only gripe I have with it, is that it always leaves me with a bit of a backlog that I have to juggle with.
It makes me feel as if work is never-ending and it's also harder to take breaks if you constantly have work to finish, as I already hate making people wait longer than necessary xwx;

So I've been thinking to try out a new system for December, this is what I thought of: as opposed to taking large batches of commissions at the start of the month, I'll instead pick up commissions on each day, trying to reach a sort of daily goal of earnings, no matter the kind of commissions I'll pick. This should let me be faster with delivering commissions of course, as well as being able to open way more often, without people having to wait for monthly/bi-monthly openings. I'll be able to get commissions on-stream through my "raffle game" people have already seen in action sometime, as well as getting DMs about it. Of course, for people who wants private commissions, they can just notify me about it and I can just work on it off-stream in a specific day.

As for the older batch of commissions that still needs to be done, I'll be alternating those "commission days" with some "backlog days", which will be completely dedicated to work on all of the stuff that's already been taken, until I finally finish everything I owe.

It's admittedly a lil scary since it's gonna be a system that heavily relies on daily performance and time, but on the upper hand it'll also eventually make it easier to just take a break when I need to, as well as be a bit more swift in delivering the works. I'm gonna test it out first in December and see how it goes <3

here's the list. I'm also warning that for next month I plan to try a new approach to commissions. One that's less reliant on big batches and being more flexible. But I'll talk about that once it's time uwu
For now, here's who made it in this batch:

-Danny Koopa

Yo, here we are again! Next month I'd like to try and experiment with a new way to take up commissions, but for now we're doing things the traditional way :3

First of all, for the commission prices, refer to the link below:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51099174/

To try and request for a slot all you gotta do is follow the link at the bottom where you'll be able to fill a form to tell me what is your idea and what level of quality you'd like. You can include ref pics in the idea, but it's not mandatory. This commission post is gonna stay open for roughly 24 hours, it's not a first come, first serve deal. After that, I'll remove the link to the form and take a few days to decide and organize which commissions I'm gonna work on for the batch, before making another post with the results.

So, this is the first time I open in other places too beside FA and Twitter, so I'm gonna do a quick rundown of the rules again:

[LINK REMOVED]

we're almost halfway through the month, 20 days before FA starts using its stupid new set of rules. Just thought I'd remind people that I set up galleries on other places too, ones that won't ban me based on the vibes of the mods.

I already stated my take on that stupid new rule they're trying to put in place on twitter, so I won't repeat myself here.

Though it's kind of funny to think about how I may be banned for the same kind of art I started posting on the internet almost 20 years ago.

This kind of obsessive policing over art only brought paranoia and petty drama. I don't know about you, but things don't exactly feel better or safer ever since this trend started. It's way too easily exploitable and we already had an example earlier in the year when several NSFW Pokemon artists were banned by a trigger-happy mod. You might argue that their accounts were restored later, but the fact that it happened in the first place is why I'm against such rules.

As usual it's been very hard to choose xwx; so I hope to see you all when I open again next month if you weren't picked this time!

Here's the commissioners of this month:

-Vex the Jolteon
-Guzame
-Dave20p
-Gibblet
-Flangies
-Toonchu
-Hida
-Nickthederg
-Deltaman123
-Osmosis
-AhriGato
-ExMuffins
-Aussie Riolu
-Dezzykitsune
-Nat
-Slate
-Jenny
-Meister Li

Here we go again :3

You know the rules by now, this journal will stay up for 24 hours and you can just input your commission idea in the google form I'm gonna link down below. For prices, use this sheet as reference:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51099174/

As usual, please understand if you aren't picked and remember that there's always next time uwu without further ado, here's the link to the form:
[LINK IS NOW REMOVED]

good luck everyone!

EDIT: Commissions are now closed, thank you all for partecipating! will announce the winners in the next days <3

I'm gonna open for the next batch of commissions on Tuesday 25th, just so you're warned :3

Ok so, first of all I want to thank you all so much for even showing up. Getting this demand after the price rise was...really humbling and to be honest it felt too good to be true xwx; you all are too kind.

I said the number of chosen people would be limited, but I made sure to pick up quite a few rough sketches to try and get as much people as possible in. With that said, the next months will be dedicated to slowly transition to this new system and once I feel settled I also hope to be able to offer those low price sketch streams I hinted at before <3

For now, here's the list of commissioners:

-GreeneryFascination (continuing the comic started last month)
-LatiasChild
-Randomfox
-Kensei
-Shadowmage782X1
-DazeRaccoon
-DustNova
-Breaker
-Enecororo
-Taikodama
-Brill
-Pipdan
-Thirdspurs
-Kwon
-Shanna
-Intonyeon
-Jaru2

Please, don't get discouraged if you didn't get picked. If everything goes well, March and April will be used to finish both current and new batches and once I'll be settled with this new workload, I might even be able to open for traditional commissions monthly, so there will be more openings overall. Thank you again so much for all of the support, I'll be contacting the winners as soon as possible...or you can poke me, whichever comes first |3;

Alright here we are!

This month I'm gonna take a limited number of commissions as I am still working on the old batch, but this is also gonna be a good way to test out the new prices, which you can find here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51099174/

If everything goes well, I'll be able to open more often once things are settled.

Remember it's not a first come first serve situation, this journal is gonna be open for around 24 hours before I close it and choose which commissions will be worked on :3

You can fill your commission form here:
[COMMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED. EXPECT THE RESULTS TO BE ANNOUNCED IN THE NEXT DAYS!]

That is all for now. Good luck and see ya in a day!
