As the title says, I'll be traveling abroad from the end of February til around mid April, I'll take my drawing tablet with me so I'll draw here and there, but I certainly won't be uploading much during that time. The commissions schedule can be seen in my discord server, it's also where pics are uploaded first and where I'll reply first if you message me, so join in if you want.


And as said above my Patreon page has just been nuked, no ifs or buts, no warnings or appeals, good thing I haven't been staking much on these imbeciles for years now, and seeing how a handful of people I know had gotten their account nuked before it was only a matter of time.

Ah well, I guess it means one less sites where I have to be worrying about uploading content. I have a SubscribeStar if you want to show support for my artwork, which is basically Patreon but better. I also have a Ko-Fi page but I reckon I should update it, I haven't touched in god knows how long. Also Gumroad, the hi-res and sketches folder can be accessed there as well.


Anyway, you can check all the pages I'm in by looking at my Link Tree.

A small note to start with, as I've mentioned before, dA has been taking my AR pics, so there's plenty of content you may have missed recently if you only follow me here, I post everything I do in multiple websites, which you can see the links for here.


As the title says, I have a handful of things going on atm, first of them is, as I've been mentioning quite a lot in my discord, I'll be undergoing a medical procedure in a bit over a week, so I won't be taking commissions this weekend and I'll need some time to recover, how much though I can't tell for sure, the next batch will be the Christmas one, though whether it happens in early or mid december I can't tell for sure. I'll update the Christmas event pic and let you know when the time approaches though.


For the price increase, I was initially expecting to increase prices in the middle of next year, but this last batch I ended up filling slots in the same minute I opened them and a ton of people were left out, I'll still give some room before increasing prices though so there'll be two more Stream Batches before I do, the upcoming Christmas Batch, then a final FFA at the current price of 50 USD per character, after which the price per character will increase to 65. This will likely be at the end of the year, but for this price increase I'll also be doing a couple different things:


-Currently Ongoing sequences that get steps commissioned after the price increase will be priced at 50 until they're completed. This only applies to currently ongoing ones, so ones started in the upcoming two batches won't count.

-If you commission a multi step sequence, the starting panel will be priced at 65, but every subsequent panel will be priced at 60.


I'll make an updated version of my commission guide as the date approaches.


Another couple points I'll applying right away will be:

-About multiple characters in one commission, if you commission too many in one go, like 4 or more, you'll be limited to commissioning 1 or 2 characters in the next batch.

-Since the standard amount I consider "slots filled" is 30 characters, half of the slots will be assigned for single character pics while the rest will focus on multiple character pics, and newcomers will have some priority since they're usually left out of batches.


A final point I wanted to bring up is a hiatus I'll also have coming up in early 2024, I'll travel abroad by the end of february and spend the entirety of march away as well as a chunk of april, I may work on random stuff here and there since I'll have my laptop and smaller tablet with me but won't be doing streams for around 6 weeks. I'll let you know more as the date approaches.

Remember the pictures with huge censor bars on my gallery?


Three of those have been taken down, and knowing dA they're not going reinstate them.

And three more pictures which weren't even fetishistic in any context were also taken down for good measure.


I'll have to be very picky about what I post in this website, if anything, I had already been talking about this with people in my discord.


I dunno if they intend on banning me or not, if this is just someone mass reporting my stuff or the site mods thinking they're doing a good job. Here's my Link Tree again, with links to all the sites where you can find me, I've been posting a lot on Twitter and on FurAffinity my gallery is nearly organized, but my discord server I'd say right now is the most reliable for communication.


I get that dA may just want to ensure I post 0 Age Regression content going forward, if that's the case so be it, I'll still draw it, but if they're going to also delete normal scenes that depict minors without any TF context then I don't know what the hell they're smoking.


I have Halloween stuff to work on, I'll see about deciding what's the best site to call my "main" afterwards, many of my peers have already left this site anyway, and I'll stay until I actually can't post anything, but it's no longer gonna have my full catalogue.

You've likely noticed I've had a few pics deleted, all of them SFW funnily enough, but who understand what the hell is deviantart thinking these days?


Two of my friends who had been doing AR related content pretty much exclusively for years got kicked off the platform without warning, and they just happened to be two people I talked to, many more got oblitared as well :T


I'm talking about SecretAgentMittens and TamaeFTT btw, who you can find on pixiv (Mittens, Tamae) and twitter (Mittens, Tamae).


My latest stream batch got nuked as well less than a day after posting it, so going forward I'll be adding a censorship banner to all AR pics or zoom them in close enough while also adding the bar to indicate you can see the full version linked in the description. Trade off I guess will be that actual NSFW content in said canvases will have the censor bars as well so I won't need to add mature tags to it.


The rules dA set up about fetish content have been there for a long time indeed, is just that now that they've done blunder after blunder such as eclipse, removing features and trying to sneak in AI learning tools into the site they needed another way to scare away their userbase even further.


So, that's it, remember to have a look at my link tree since you can find me in many different websites, I have a discord server and all. I don't want dA to stop being my main site since this is where I started and where I have the largest amount of followers, but if I get banned anyway there isn't really anything I could do about it :V

Only not just yet. This journal entry is in regards to the doujinshi I've just finished, and set up for sale on Gumroad:

I worked on this on and off since all the way back in 2020, I've been clearing time whenever possible to put work into it, it wasn't until this year that I was finally able to clear a good chunk of time and get like 75% of it done.

But well, now that that's done, what's next? I know I promised for years I'd try and put more time into personal projects, and as many of my followers here know I haven't worked on IISY on years. I can see the format of doujin releases working even if it doesn't sell all that well, I'll try and put time into working on stories I've come up with in between streams, now that I saw I could get this 36 pages doujin done considerably quickly if I dedicated time to it, I'll put new ones on schedule, some set in the world of existing franchises, as it was with this one, while others will have completely original settings.


I also have a story I started planning all the way back in 2012, a long TG comic I wanted to release alongside IISY, but it just ended up being completely unfeasible.


I wanted to do at least one more doujin from a list before tackling that one tho, and see as time passes if people are actually interested on it. I see this as the only path back to work on personal projects longer than single illustrations or random 6 Koma comics, due to the commission schedule I keep. As those who read Dr. Squidlove know even though the story is clearly adult content, I also like adding in a slice of life twist, specially if it pays homage to the setting where the story takes place.


I won't start on a new one just yet, as there were a couple other things I wanted to do beforehand, but as mentioned above I have a list of ideas I can pick from, which I've put on a poll for you to decide, specifying the ones that are from established franchises as well as the ones that use OCs, you can follow the link below to view the poll, don't vote hastily, think about what you'd want to see, the poll will stay up until I'm done with the other things I wanted to do, so it'll be quite a while:
