So, I've been feeding myself and housing myself with art for a bit now, and you don't gotta tell me that my art output has slowed down. It hasn't factually, I've been drawing more than ever, but figuring out what to post, how to post it, and where is... A challenge. It's been good to know that I can support this, and I've been dealing with a lot of issues behind the scenes, but, I'm going to be taking a month off the owed work from patreon to focus on personal stuff a bit. Personal art, art of characters, the stuff I wanna do, and will be doing that going forward, occasional months off and the like, but I want some feedback from y'all here on this site too!

I've mostly just been uploading weekly sketch pages, I have been doing other stuff, but, I'm not sure if y'all would even...

Hey, so, I got fired from my job.

The reasons for this are many and obnoxious, but basically I made the gamble of asking a company that's on the precipice of failing for more respect. I asked my boss to make less demeaning, disrespectful jokes about my sexuality, or about my coworkers, and he fired me for it. Sad, but not something I didn't see coming.

The past few months or so, the changes happening at my (former) workplace had me thinking this was likely, but this happened a lot faster than I expected. I worked at this place for nearly 6 years, and now I'm stuck with a few different choices. I could try and find another spot to work in that same industry, but I don't really want to after the recent issues, so I'm gonna try and see what I can do as a full time...

Hey, been a second. How about a life update?

TL;DR I'm willing to open for commissions again, every so often, but I'll be more choosey and more picky and whatnot. You can skip the below infodump, it doesn't matter, but I solved my brain problems I had around accepting money, turns out money wasnt the problem I was and my brain was, but that's fixed, ANYHOOT, enjoy this madness.

--

So, last time I made one of these, it was to announce that I was stopping commissions, because I was incapable of holding myself to any sort of standard or valuing my work or treating paid work with any degree of professionalism. My brain internalized that as a bizarre like... personal promise, melodramatic and bizarre, but came with the caveat that if I couldn't fix my...

I won't be doing them. Ideally ever again if I can help it, but I can't guarantee my heart won't go psycho again, I can guarantee very little in life, but that's my goal.

I love commissions. I love to do them. I do them well. I don't think I charge too much, I deliver on them promptly, and when I do not deliver on them promptly, I communicate the reasons explicitly, quickly, and endeavor to make restorative gestures when I fail to meet the standards I hold myself to. Which is rare! I think in my history as a furry commission artist I have done an excellent job with few missteps, an A- performance if I were to personally evaluate, and truth be told some of my BEST work is commissions, because they're good for getting out of the comfort zone and I work exceptionally hard to...

dk why half the stuff I uploaded the last few months was like a third of its intended size, but that's fixed now. Sorry about that! Now you can read the comics!

Hello! It is December! Boy I fell off keeping this gallery updated properly, sorry about that! I am planning a massive spam update of like, 100 different pieces, get ready, its absurd. But in a cool way.

I have not stopped drawing, I just stopped posting to a few sites because I find tags annoying and descriptions difficult so social media which asks for zero effort gets my priority. On top of the fact I just... Kinda like to draw just for myself? Like, I think there are easily, EASILY, over 40 drawings I have done, finished, completely rendered and then... Posted nowhere. I'll try and change that so folks can see the stuff but honestly I think its kind of a healthy adjustment. There is no question of "Do I draw for attention? Wealth, Fame, Power?" the answer is no,...

Hey there! Been a bit since I updated folks here or updated my gallery.

I've been doing a lot of work, a lot of art, and a lot of health improvement stuff, so it's about time to post a little info about how life has been going!

Firstly: Health! A few months ago, I almost had a heart attack/stroke! Blood Pressure was at an average of 185/120 for almost half a week, which in Blood Pressure terms is "Hey, so, you're gonna die" levels of pressure. So I spent a while dealing with that, lots of testing, healthy lifestyle changes, all that good stuff. Got on a medicine that helps with Blood Pressure, and also spent all of my money doing it! But as of recently it's at an average of 118/62! So... Yay!

Secondly: Art stuff! I did have to take some...

Hey gang, thanks for reading this cool blog

I'm kinda burnt out still, SO I'm, for the first time in the like half a decade since I started drawing, re-evaluating my work output, and I've realized. I've been drawing too much, for too long. And taking on too many big projects, and I haven't really learned how to like... relax. Just draw for fun, not draw because it's what I'm supposed to be doing because I'm an artist. It's lead to some really unhealthy habits, bad sleeping, bad work life balance. SO: I'm taking a step back, not going on hiatus, but learning how to better balance my desire to be an artist with the requirements of being a human.

Part of that is, postponing big projects. I had a few in the pipe I was working towards, programming stuff, big comics,...

Hey gang! It's time for "Hookaloof thinks commissions for complex things like animations sound like fun" time. And as such, I'm gonna be doing some! Tummy shrink/digestion animations in the same vein as this one ( https://aryion.com/g4/view/826174 ) , for a base price of $150, featuring full coloring and full sound between 30 seconds to a minute in length!

Since Animations have historically been a huge pain commission wise I've been hesitant to take them, I'm gonna be instituting a google form to try and organize ideas. I'm gonna be picky with the initial batch at the very least, ideas that have lots of good references and clear directions will be prioiritized over more nebulous descriptions or super complex poses/angles or ideas with lots of camera work (AT LEAST...

Hey everyone after going for like a month straight with zero breaks my body is shutting down and I gotta take a little bit of time. When I return, I will be focusing on a number of projects, those being
-The Gooey comic (Yes it's still being worked on it's just WAY more work than I thought it would be and I'm trying to make it real good)
-Voretober stuff
-Other comic projects
-Owed game from raffle (If you like hungry kangaroos, you'll like this!)
-Another game featuring sharks with big boobies
-More Toriel
-More animations at some point
-More streams

And that'll carry me through to 2023. I doubt I'll get it all done in 4 months BUT you never know! Regardless, see y'all in a bit.
