Can't hold that long space cowboy~

Feisty potato out of the presses as promised.

Just a thing

Ahoy again! Had life things going on for couple weeks so art had to take a back seat for a moment. Though have a quick new thing!

I think most of you were clear about the fact that I was busy though!

I've also resumed commission work, about to finish a thing for Shippo which will be also posted here and in the patreon share.

Tiredness doesn't bother me as usual, sometimes it still rears it's head so I've started tracking my sleep with (sleep with android) to find out if ther...

More 3D work (finished)

One more commission related work done, probably the most complicated rig I've done so far. Simple controls for face / eyebrows and such. Some weird clipping can occur but probably can be improved with weight painting and with the mesh.

Posting updates here so you know where I'm heading. Also this week I've gotta spend some time on my car replacing a snapped spring but after that. More commission work coming up!

Something put together

Putting things together. Early preview for patrons!

Dark arts (?)

Dropping some more stuff and starting to ramp up the frequency again beginning of 2019 here's a warm up with some new tricks! Enjoy

Have a happy year's end and see you guys soon!

"Bedroom eyes"

Hiya finally! After some busy weeks organizing and just in general also doing an easy start on the arts, here's some content again!

I've felt less tired lately but I did take the doctor's advice on taking it easy, currently I'd say we're heading to the right direction regarding the tiredness. Now I'm just mostly waking up really early for some reason but it doesn't make me super tired so I'm not bothered by that since I'm generally getting good amount of hours of bed time.

Not too long a...

So what's the plan (Updates)

So blood test results are in. If you didn't catch them in discord or such nothing indicates that it's about blood sugar, low iron, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid etc.

So from that aspect I'm 100% healthy.

Diagnosis most likely, seasonal disorder / depression. Doctor's orders were to lessen stress and just do what I can do in the meanwhile, though since we're past the rainy humid gray weather and it's crispy clean and cold now I've noticed that my motivation and tiredness seem to be improv...

Globe trottin'

Doctor's visit done, diagnosis so far (brain chemistry) (depression?) blood tests next week to rule out any other stuff. Been able to stabilize the situation a bit with fish liver oil DHA + liquorice root tea. So at least we're heading to a right direction.

Warm ups (And updates)

It's the dawn of the 3rd day without caffeine. Doctor's visit should be in couple days so I can go get the blood tests and such done.

The reason I'm doing non caffeine for a long time is to see if it could be adrenal fatigue which is common. (It's caused by stress, caffeine and other stressors like inflammation. At least I can still enjoy decaf coffee since it only has miniscule amounts of caffeine.

Anyhow have a quick doodle, since I haven't posted much due not being able to do work. It...

Update regarding the situation (with tiredness attacks)

In a nutshell version for those who don't want to sit through a video.

I've been using multiple measures trying to figure out what's up with the random tiredness attacks (lack of will or motivation) And I have a doctor appointment in the end of this month probably asking them to do blood tests / glucose and such.

Mainly these stop me from enjoying things I like to do daily. Been lessening the stress in my daily life too. Many of you also said that I don't need to worry too much about pat...

Self time (Web)

Let's start with some updates

I've managed to at least alleviate the tiredness issues by having my daylight lamp on a timer all days and supplementing with a multivitamin product.

So far I can say it's made a noticeable improvement (If I'd estimate 30% better from 0-100%)

So most likely it could be that some vitamin doesn't get absorbed well by my body or I don't get enough of it. Vitamin D deficiency is pretty common here since we do not get as much sunlight after...

Want some super spunk (Doodles)

Just experimenting with lining and things, here you go!

Want some spunk? (RAW)

It's official tiredness thing is back, though today I survived with a small nap. I'm gonna give it a week to sort out with a fixed sleeping schedule. 

Been putting more work in my workflow I think I'm having issues liking colouring/shading again so I'll probably need to experiment a bit more on that.

Anyhow have a sketch!

Got my rear (Finished)

And here you go coloured version of this!

Posting progress here for you guys! As you've wanted.

Weekend drop! Enjoy!

Silky Netty heaven (WIP)

Might as well post some of the wips here too, as you know RAWS/Sketches are usually posted on resilio sync share. Anyhow I can start dropping them here too depending on what you guys think?

Getting back to work has been a bit slower than I've wanted but don't worry I've got things coming. And I've kept pretty busy past weeks.

We've also moved to charge up front just to make leeching harder (not affecting your life) and if it does please throw me a message and we'll see what we...

Charge up front / discussion

I'm also weighing in on the option on going charge up front model, just to make the bot leeching harder. This in my opinion from what I read make your situation any different.

Though I do want your feedback on the matter too!

This would

a) Make it more fair for you since it would stop botting (since those people are too greedy to pay even a penny for content)

b) If I got it right doesn't really make your life as a supporter any harder

I'm going to give you so...

It's your friendly neighbourhood akita here again! Back to posting stuff after travelling for a month in united states of america.

And as you know even though I know these posts end to that site that doesn't need more advertisement I'm posting these here anyhow since you as a supporter do not deserve any more hassle.

Main goal now (after returning from the vacation) is to get back to more stable posting schedule gathering more support and providing better quality content. Just going to k...

Hiatus reminder (Vacation/travelling)

Hi Guys/Gals!

Just posting a quick reminder that I'm still travelling till around the end of the month if someone missed my updates on that! So I'm not able to post updates for now.

Changes and yes hi yiff.party

I'm gonna throw you a bone here since I'm a old demoscener/demopartee familiar with the roots of the whole movement.

I've been happy to be in this generation of starting the powerful tool called filesharing/internet.

Here's the thing though. I'm gonna trial posting stuff here as well. And if yiff.party decides to post my stuff for free giving me free advertisement that's all right. Please do work for me for free all right? Well they will since they got their scraping bots.

I could ...

Hey you all!

It's your friendly neighbourhood doge. As you know I've been battling with a depression / seasonal disorder (which is now at least getting better) since we're getting sunlight again. Yay for a short finnish summer!

Most of you know that I gave working up on my commissions due to circumstances mentioned above. I didn't want to do subpar illustrations since I do care alot about the quality I want to deliver for a paying person.

So yeah I came back to it, tried...
