~ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
~ And Yes I'm alive.

Details:

Hello, everyone^^

I'm alive and okay. Been in a art rut for a long while due to my grandfather death and been working at my new job at a fast food place. With stress from work and slowly grieving from my grandfather death. I haven't been in a productive mood to draw nor talkative mood to my friends.

But I am slowly gaining my mood back to draw again. I'm still hurting inside a bit emotionally of my grandfather death due to the holidays reminding me of him. I'm taking one step at a time through life. I am healing and will be drawing in full force soon. Just not as much as I use to cause of my new job. Do not worry though. I'll be drawing some preggers soon.

Also doing commissions again is gonna take me a while to get back to for a while. But I might. I can't promise anything. I might do ych comics again. I just don't know when though. And to my friends on discord and who are watching me too. I'll talk to ya soon. Sorry for worrying ya'll.

Another thing, I gotten a hair cut a couple months ago. I cut my hair short with a new style since it was getting harder for me to care for long hair. Not only because it was so thick, but tired having to put it up all the time for work and it being pulled on in my sleep or by my toddler son. So my primary fursona will get a new do.

With hugs and kisses to everyone,

~ I won't be using patreon anymore
~ Moving things to Kofi instead
~ Moving bondage and hyper pregnancy to Will Not draw list in the term.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been on much. But I'm alive and okay. Just been busy being a parent and doing some commissions and personal projects. Also I hate to say this, but I will be moving bondage and hyper pregnancy to Will Not draw list in the terms. Drawing hyper pregnancy is kinda difficult for me even hyper birth (birthing grown adults). And it's kinda uncomfortable. I wanna draw normal pregnancy and birth. Again, I'm sorry guys.

Now for the patreon. I decided I am not going to use it anymore since I see I'm not getting anywhere with it. I'll keep the account open, but I won't use it for a long while. I'll be moving to Ko-fi that way my supporters can support anytime they want to. I can post when I want to since I am busy. It's a win win. Still, thank you for supporting me on patreon.

I am also doing art streams on Twitch now too. I'll still be using Picarto. But I'll use picarto only for NSFW art there.

Here my twitch:https://www.twitch.tv/artmonkey27

Sorry for the inconvenience and confusion.

~Open for Commissions (Busts and Half Bodies Only)
~Other Life Updates

Details:

Hey guys^^

I think I recovered from the grief, but I'm still sad inside. But I know my grandfather would not want me to be sad all the time. I will be getting a tattoo of his name and seals soon on my arm once I get the money. It will be my first tattoo and I am doing research how to prepare for my first tattoo. This will be a tribute to him and it will help me feel a bit of closure.

So I will be doing more commissions, but busts(headshots) and half bodies only though. I want to take it easy a bit and finish off the late two fullbodies and a ref before I start taking more fullbodies though. I will take three slots. I want to work hard for that tattoo. I know it's not something I need, but I want that closure. Wish me luck.

Slots (Busts and HalfBodies): Look at my profile for info.

~Commission break to grieve.

Details:

It's very hard and hurting to be motivated to type this, but I had to tell you guys.

It's very sad to say but I just got a call from my mother early in the morning, telling my grandfather had died last night. He was in a lot of pain due to cancer and trouble getting around without the help of my step grandmother.

So I hate to announce this since you guys been waiting so long, but I am gonna go on a commission break. Take a break from working on commissions for a bit. I might work on some of them or doodle some personal drawing to make myself feel better a bit. I just don't know. So please forgive me and hope you understand.

With a broken heart,
Artmonkey27

~ Patreon Update: Working on the next pregnancy comic asap


Details:

Holy flipping ducks! You guys love my magic pregnancy comic and even getting more patrons from it too. You guys really want to support my pregnancy comic. I guess I better make some more then. But it will take a bit due to catching up on commissions and this stupid virus is affecting my life a bit. Sorry to my patrons and watchers if you haven't seen any updates on more comics coming. But right now I am working the story process and slowly, but surely you see some sneak peek of sketches. The next comic will be the Egg of Fertility. Which came from my inspiration from a old doodle of mine with my herm demon named Gwen. So there will be a herm pregnancy and more egg laying.

And as for the stupid virus. FUCK YOU, CORONAVIRUS! Just need to let that out.

Drawing the new watermark/logi and other things.

Stream is here----> https://picarto.tv/Artmonkey27

~ T.O.S has been updated and effective immediately. Please read before ordering a commission in the future. Here the link: https://poizen.me/artmonkey27/commission_terms
~ Will be doing a price update soon.
~ Got a Poizen account. Take a look^^ : https://poizen.me/artmonkey27
~ Ko-Fi profile is in progress: https://ko-fi.com/artmonkey
Details:

claps my hand together Okay! I got some explainin to do.

I will first explain about the price update. I'm going rise prices a little higher due to some things getting tight. My friends and family been telling me over and over to raise my prices a little higher. But I was so concern about people would think of me being unreasonable and greedy. But now I need to tell and remind myself that I draw my own art and make people happy with my art. They are not in control of my time or life. Don't worry about what people thinks. If people decides to be rude and complain about my prices and commission. Then they aren't worth my time.

So to my awesome friends out there. Thank you for giving me that special gift of friendship, love and support when I needed it. Even though I can be a bit stubborn sometimes. Love you guys.

Now for the next part. I have updated my terms of services. I added several things and they are effective immediately. So please read it when you can before ordering a commission from me in the future.

Last, but not least I got a Poizen account and a Ko-Fi account. But my Ko-Fi account is in progress right now, but you can go look if you want and maybe support me: https://ko-fi.com/artmonkey
I made this account for my non patreon type of supporters. The ko-fi link will be put in my art descriptions and FA profile soon when finished.

Now for the Poizen. What is Poizen? Poizen is site that freelance artists can post their commissions prices, portfolio of their art examples and T.O.S. I loved the site since it's a bit more organized and easier to manage with your commissions and slots. Even commissioners can find which artists are for hire/opened and send their commission requests to them. So If ya are interested in my commissions, check my poizen account: https://poizen.me/artmonkey27

Thanks for reading! ^^

This layout is kinda bit confusing to me @^@ I like the modern look, but finding where things are is a bit confusing. It's going to take me a while to get use to it and find everything. I don't want to go back to classic cause I love and miss the old art banner on the site.

And I turned on the shinies as a tipping system. Every little bit helps and will go to paying the rent, bills and food.

And I decided I'm gonna change my second fursona Marble just into a character and not a fursona anymore. Buuuut... My dragon fursona will be coming back and I can't stop drawing her. I change her name Jess into Aby which is the nickname of my middle name. I did say I was going to change her name to avoid confusion. She will be the fursona inspired from real life. There will some fictional things here and there with her.

Anyways, I hope you guys have a great day^^

~Streaming schedule change into every friday unless otherwise.
~ Last 2019 journal before the new year.
~ Got a discord server for my commissions/Ych related stuff.
~ New year's 2020 Resolution
~Taking january commissions.

Details:

Hey, everyone^^ How are ya? I have been pretty busy with commissions, but doing kinda well.

Now before I announce the updates. I am taking January commissions with 3 slots this time to take it a little easy and catch up on the older commissions. Need some rent money and whatever left over will be put into savings for a furcon this year.

Now for the updates!

I got a discord server for my commissions/ Ych related things of mine. It's kinda still work in progress. But you can still join if you want and get announcements of commissions and ych's openings.

Here the link: https://discord.gg/fEHr6C (Expires after 24 hours. Note me and ask me for a invite after.)

For streams, I decided to change the schedule to Fridays only unless stated otherwise. Right now, I need to catch up on older commissions like I mentioned before. And my son is walking and getting into things now which makes it harder and takes longer to work on commissions now.

Until he get old enough to go to school, I'll be able to work a bit faster. But that's a few years ahead and can't afford daycare/babysitter right now. Those are pricey. O.O I can try turning on the shinies or do those donation art things, but I don't know if anybody will be willing to help me out. And I don't what people will be paying donation for in return. So here the question.

What would guys like to see me draw in return for donating? Please comment your answers and feedback.

Last my new year resolution!

Year 2020

- Work hard for the furcon I am volunteered for.

- Practice drawing comics. (doodles/short comics)

- Get even more better at backgrounds

- Start digital painting.

- And more pregnancy drawings you guys love^^


Thanks for reading!

With hugs and kisses,

~ Commissions closed until I finished and catch up on the old commissions.
~ Will be doing monthly commission opening application for five slots per month.



Details:

Hey, guys! I'm back and rested for a day too. The reason I been gone for this long is to spend time with my parents as early thanksgiving and Christmas for them. Since I got so much work to catch up and hopefully get them done before December comes around. Because I want to sell Christmas pregnancy ychs, chibis and work on a short Christmas comic or picture in time before Christmas.

So I'm going to keep commissions closed until I finish the other commissions first. And when I finish them all. I'm gonna do monthly commission applications which is five slots and two ychs per month. So keep an eye out or watch me for my journal commission openings. But I might do more slots than that if it calls for emergency or getting gifts for my son birthday or Christmas.

Enough rambling. For short I'm trying my best to get everything done.

Thanks for reading and understanding!

~ Commissioner clients please read the detail.
~ Claimed chapter 5 for patreon will be a bit late.
~ Same for Claimed illustrations.
~ There will be no stream this weekend or more until I get back.


Details:

Hey, everyone.^^

Now for my clients. I'm going have to put your commissions on hold. And also closed commissions for now. Due to going to the craft fair on the 9th to sell my crochet and knitted projects to make some christmas presents money. The craft fair is at home town where my parents live. So I'll be leaving on 6th to stay with my parents for a bit for the craft fair. I will start on commissions again when I get back.

Now for everyone else. Like I explained above. Chapter 5 of Claimed and the illustrations are going to be a bit late. I'll finish and upload them when I get back after I finished a commission or two.

Thanks for reading and understanding^^

~Paypal (more info in the detail section)


Detail:

Paypal.... I don't trust them. I don't trust them for years due to them requiring an picture proof of your ID and SSN. And requiring your bank account information. But! I made an account so I could get my picarto membership. And I noticed they have changed a bit and look like they have improved. So I might use it for my commissions. But if anything funny happens. I'm closing the account.

So what do this mean? It means I'll be accepting paypal for a bit during commissions and stream commissions just to test the payment platform. If nothing happens for this whole month, I'll give it my trust little by little.

So here what I am gonna do. When you commission me and ask to use paypal. I'll be sending a invoice just to be safe than sorry. Since I heard some buyers made some mistake clicking sending money to family and not the goods and service. Getting sellers into trouble.

I'll be taking some more in stream commissions before I go rest for a few days. The streaming I did for the couple of days was to experiment the days and time schedule. But now I have figured out a time and days.

I will be streaming Friday & Saturday. 10am - 4pm 7pm -12am CDT.

Now here the link to the stream: https://picarto.tv/Artmonkey27

~ Had a blast at TTFC 2019
~ Opening Telegram Sticker Commissions soon.


TTFC was the best ever! Even as my first furcon. I even made friends with my roommates. We all had a good time. And got a bunch of goodies from the dealer den. Got two random tails and one custom made into my fursona tail. It's looks a bit wonky due to the fabric twisting on it own during the sewing process from the maker. I still paid and took my tail telling her it's okay and we all make mistakes. I mean who knows. It might happen to me when I start making tails someday.

Anywho, I gave myself nearly a week of rest due to dancing to a rave all three nights. My body was aching all over XC. I will be opening telegram sticker commissions soon. Just need to finish drawing a couple of examples.

I will be back to working on the story Claimed Chapter 4 & 5. Sorry for the lack of illustrations. I will try my best to make time to draw them for the story.

Thanks for reading!

~Artmonkey27

~ Going to TTFC (Tails and Tornadoes Furcon) on Aug 29 -Sept 1 !
~ New character designs and comic in the works.
~ Got a sewing machine! ^^

Hey, guys! I'm back home! I was visiting my parents during the two weeks for my mother birthday. Sorry for the lack of activity during those weeks.

Anyways, I'm going to Tails and Tornadoes Furcon in Tulsa, OK starting on Aug 30. But I will be booking early at the hotel on the 29th to explore around and get to know my two roommates better. So I will be unavailable during those days. Also I will be doing a comic 101 panel there on Saturday. Come by if you want to learn tips and tricks of drawing comics or meet me in real person.

Last, but not least. I got a sewing machine! Hopefully and thanks with some help from my grandmother. I want to make some fursuit props, accessories, and tails to sell in the near future. And maybe make my own fursuit someday. So keep an eye out on here and my etsy shop.

~Taking a break from commissions.
Details:

I'm taking a few days break from commissions/YCHs. I got myself overworked to the point of throwing up. I have to stop to let myself rest. Sorry, guys. :< But I will be doodling during my break.

~ Raffle winner is....  Akesseltrain !
PM me for your prize.

~ Visit me at TTFC (Tails and Tornadoes furcon) for my Comic 101 panel. See ya there!

~Follow me on Twitter. I'm posting doodles everyday.

Details:

Hey, everyone! Sorry for the raffle being so late and used a number generator. I was so distracted by finishing my presentation for a panel at TTFC and trying to finish the last commission.

Anyways, since I finished my panel presentation early. I might open summer discount for pregnancy commissions or live stream sketch/lineart commissions. No promises. But I do need some money for the hotel room.

Also, I'm drawing and posting my doodles everyday on Twitter. Just doing these doodles for fun, warm up and to keep improving. Follow me on Twitter if you're interested. Username is same as this one.

The doodles will uploaded here in bulk once a week.

Thanks for reading! <3

Tails and Tornadoes Furcon ----> http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tai.....rnadoesfurcon/

I'm going to do this one last time. Anyone who is going to Tails and Tornadoes Fur Con in Oklahoma who needs a room at the marriot hotel in Tulsa. I have booked a one king bed room and need a roommate who will split the room bill with me. It's the only room I could get.

Here some info about me:

~ Female
~ 25 years old
~ Introvert/quiet and not very noisy
~ And I got the super sponsor pre-registration. One of the benefits is two reserved seating at events. But you must be willing to talk with me and discuss our schedule at the convention.

I will take guys too. But he needs to bring a sleeping bag or ask me to request the hotel for a roll away bed.

Also for guys or girls have to PM me to discuss of creating room rules and other things with me.

If you are interested. Please PM me and tell me about your gender, age and about your self. Then I will decided from there.

Please apply by July 31.

Thanks for reading and please pass this journal on if your not interested. Maybe someone else out there needs this and can't afford a room.

- I decided to keep the commission listing on Etsy for my paypal customers. My shop will be a commission and crochet shop.

Details: I decided to keep my commission listing on Etsy for my paypal clients. Since some of my clients don't have credit/debit cards and only have paypal. I'll do the same with YCH, but I will be adding a listing fee in the price though. Since Etsy charges me a fee to list my ychs and commissions though. When I post a YCH and you decided you want to pay with paypal. I will create a listing of the ych with your FA username on it unless you want it like Anonymous #00. Then I will remove the listing after you paid.

Now that's out of the way. Time for the pregnancy raffle! For celebrating 3000 views and 100 watchers!

RAFFLE (will end on June 3rd)

Prize: One lucky winner will get one free fullcolor cellshaded pregnancy commission! (1 character and pregnancy only!) Terms of service applied.

Rules

1. This will be for watchers and the public.
2. Comment on this journal that you want to enter and I will give you a number.
3. After the raffle, the winner needs to pm me his/her commission request.
4. Good luck!^^

~NightFire will be put on hold till I finish ychs and previous commissions first.

~ Mayternity Ychs will be late and posted for public instead on Patreon next month.

~ Claimed Ch 4 is almost done and will be posted on patreon next month.

~ My storenvy is now opened, but I'm still closed for commissions. Link is on my profile if you want to look at the new prices. Ychs will be posted on here as well.

Details:

Edit: *O* Wow! 3000 views?! 100 watchers?! Thanks a lot guys^^ I might have to do a pregnancy art raffle later when I get better. Again, thanks guys! <3 <3 <3

Hey, guys. Sorry I had to put the comic on hold. There is a lot on my plate that needs to be done. Also right now being sick with a bad annoying cold is not helping any. My storenvy is now open with the new prices of my commissions, but don't worry. I will be doing some discounts and sales some time to time. So keep an eye out.

Now for the shinies situation. Unfortunately, I can't do them due to paypal. I hate paypal since I had a bad time with them and I don't trust them. So unless furaffinity can do stripe or square up as the new tipping method. BUT!

You can tip me on one of these sites link here or the links on my profile:

https://www.patreon.com/Artmonkey27

My square up store: https://squareup.com/store/artmonkey27-commissions

Buymeacoffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/vDdyP6O


Thanks for your support and for reading^^

~Art commission and YCH listings from etsy will be transferred to Storenvy. Will change the etsy link later.

~Price will be raised for my commissions after I close it on May 3rd. So you better go order
my commissions now while they are still at my current prices.

~My etsy shop will be changed into a crochet shop called Crochet Eclipse.

~Nightfire will be started again on somewhere on the end of May or start of June.

~Patreon posting and mayternity ych and arts will be uploaded ASAP in time for May.

~May 5th is my birthday. So I will take a day or two off from working on commissions or etsy orders.

Details:

My mental health and anxiety has been falling to the point of cutting myself. Which has affected some of my work poorly. I visited and stayed at my parents for the two weeks and Easter to get my mind straight. I talked to my mother counselors and they provided some advice to me. One of them is to slow down on my work. I will be closing commissions on May 3rd and the prices will be raised when I open them again. That nearly a week giving you guys a chance to buy my commission at their current prices before the change and transfer.

But the real reason I am closing commissions during summer is for my mental health, but I will work on and finish any previous commission orders. But I will be doing mayternity and summer YCH orders for the whole summer.

Also sorry for the lack of Patreon posts and Nightfire pages. I will get back on them ASAP.


Thanks for reading and understanding. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hello everyone^^

Sorry I haven't been posting very much. It just I been very busy trying to get the comic, the new story( I will explain in a moment) and illustration work done. Even some preggy patreon work too. That why I haven't been able to talk with anyone for a while.(I'm talking to you to too,  bio12) Also life made it harder to keep with the comic stream schedule. I am very sorry for that guys.

But! I decide on something. I will not do the comic stream for a while to lighten the work load. And since I haven't been getting any new commissions. I will be doing some pregnancy ych for mayternity soon and post them here and on the new store. (StoreEnvy) And there is a bonus for that for patrons. As soon I finish drawing a ych, they will be posted on patreon for a week. Giving my patrons the first look and pick on the ychs.


Now that is out of the way for a bit. Since you guys notice I been drawing Drake, the demon much often. I am working on the story called Claimed (might change the title) I wanted to make it into a comic. But since I am already working on a comic right now and don't want to add more stress. I decided for now it will be posted as a story with an illustration with each chapters. But after a few chapters, the rest of the chapters will be posted on patreon for month before being posted to the public.

Again, sorry for any long wait and troubles. I hope you guys understand.
