...I went to Anthrocon last week! T'was my first time going to a con, and I was only around for like two days, but I had a blast while I was there. Got to meet a bunch of online friends IRL, and encountered a couple new fellas as well.
Second day wasn't as eventful, given I only showed up and played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for an hour before returning back to the hotel, but given that most of what I wanted to do happened on my first day there anyways, it's not that big of a deal.

No idea if I'll be attending next year, but probably not, in all honesty. Maybe another con, but for now, I wanna focus on other things. Like for example, a pair of Pokemon OCs that I was working on, but need names...
Also, commissions. Need to do more of those because I'm kiiinda running low...

Been thinking of taking more comms at some point, but also that at some point I should probably update my commission sheet to add and remove a couple things. Only problem is getting people to put a submission in.
...eh, might a well just clear out the ones I have first before I worry about anything else.

you'd think a copyright claim would be enough to get them to back off, but nope, they actively chose to double down instead
at this point it's just borderline harrassment, really

probably not gonna make any more posts regarding this guy, at this point they just want attention
did make sure to spread the word among several communities so that they know what to look for but still, i'm getting tired of this

Good news, the stolen video has been successfully removed. Dunno why I didn't think to do this in the first place, but god to know I can rely on that if all else fails.
Granted, their channel's still up, and plenty of other stolen animations haven't been taken down yet, so I can't say we've truly won until we get the channel taken down completely.

For now, though, let's just hope they, or anyone else, don't try to pull that stunt again.

Regarding the previous post, V Archive, the uploader of the stolen Heracross video, responded, trying to defend themselves by claiming they didn't "steal" the video, only reuploading it so that "more people have a chance to see it", since YouTube is a "free to view" site, meaning it isn't locked behind a paywall or anything. Only A: if you want to watch it so badly, signing up for Eka's Portal isn't that hard, and B: I'm pretty sure I put a disclaimer in the description of my works very explicitly stating the following:

Please do not repost my artwork or anything else I have made. Ever. If you want my stuff to be shared someplace, please, let me be the one to post it.

Yet, they went ahead and did it anyway. Even...

I only found out about it this morning, but someone reuploaded my Heracross vore animation to YouTube without crediting me, and I'm not happy.
I make it a point to explicitly mention in the description of every one of my posts not to repost or steal my artwork. Yet I guess this is just how the internet works, huh...

Regardless I hope the video gets taken down. Sent a comment asking them to remove it, and if that doesn't work (which it probably won't, given I doubt whoever's behind the channel is even human) several reports just in case. If you see it in your youtube feed I encourage you to report it too.

As of today I am 25 and counting, gentlemen.
Probably not expecting many gifts though, alas. Not really one for surprises, I'm afraid.

Dunno how much I'll use it, or if I'll even post any of my art there, but for those who have it, here: https://bsky.app/profile/orbstuffed.bsky.social

I've updated my commission form to add Reference Sheets, and changed around a couple other stuffs, too.
For those who are out of the loop, sketches are $24 minimum, flat lineart is $50, shaded lineart is $60, and refsheets are about $120 minimum.

Go check it out here. Will probably update the commission sheet proper at some point in the future to reflect the changes but for now a simple announcement should suffice.

I've got nothing planned for 8/8 this year :sob:

Oh well, maybe I can think of something last minute...again. Provided I can motivate myself to draw art, of course-
