FA-exclusive problems...

It's not that I actually want to unwatch anyone, it's just that i'm not into gore and... FA's the only furry art gallery i use that doesn't have a working tag blacklist. Normally I'd just block the things I don't like and never have to see them, but that's not an option. There is only watching and unwatching, and i don't want gore in my personal art feed.

That said, I wish anyone participating in Goretober this year a great, successful and productive month.

You guys are the best.

It's been 5 years now since a misunderstanding with administration led me to convert to just being primarily a lurker here on FA, but the love you give me just keeps on giving. ;o;
While I may not necessarily have much that I feel like uploading anymore, I want to thank you all for sticking it out with me; to thank all those who have recently discovered me and started watching, and to thank everyone for just being awesome.

I think, in the coming days I will try to branch out once more. Post what I make in multiple places or so. I may still have my gripes here, but it certainly would be great to keep you guys in the loop when it comes to new art stuffs. Links to multi-upload submissions will be handled via IB, of course, since they have the site structured to handle it, but it'll still be fun to share something again.

Also, keep an eye out for a short write up that I'm working on entitled "Layer Logic with Paupe"; a short, informal little guide that I wish I had when I was 8 and learning to use photoshop. I hope that it will help those who are newly migrating into their first layer-enabled art programs and get past that first mental hurdle to making art creation easier with layers.~

Thank you all again for your continued love and support.
May we all continue to be beacons of light in these somewhat troubling times~

- Paupe / Asda

I know FA's trying to move forward and all, but I feel like there's features that take more priority than fancy badge things.
It's a real slap in the face, considering that I'm constantly facing stuff that absolutely disgusts me (gore, vore, cockvore, snuff, rape, mutilation) and I was nearly kicked off the site over something that could've just been blacklisted years ago.

Every blasted art site has them, and I'd really appreciate not having to browse through hypercock and vore art while simultaneously not being comfortable with posting my own art because it raised someone's eyebrow. I have no right of agency, and that's part of what made me consider not posting here in the first place...

How's about less of the good old American Doublestandard and more practical utilities? =_=

Ah, I forgot about here. I know things aren't as active here but just in case anyone was curious, my commissions are presently closed.

I'm in need of some general tidying up and want to work on finishing projects

Though I unfortunately don't typically post my works here anymore (those who have been keeping up know why) I still want you guys to know that I love all of my watchers and extend my services to everyone here as well. So, that said, Commission have been re-opened with "Revolving Queue" rules in place. This system is a bit different but will allow me to manage commissions in a more comfortable way without conflicting with my work life

[You can find more information about the Revolving Queue rule here]

[You can find my queue itself here]

Commission Pricing information is [here] but I'll be updating my FA-centric commission price... thing sometime later today. There's quite a lot on my plate this week, haha.

Please note me here with ideas or questions.

Thank you,

While my usual commission policies could traditionally be found on my trello (Here, of course), some recent events have made me aware that these things are not as visible there-- or at least that my Trello is not being visited as much.
I can't really blame anyone for that, though; Trello isn't always the prettiest thing to look at or understand. So instead, I will make it more readily available by posting a version here and on my other sites. Here they are:

Paupë Chaimer’s

For my watchers here on FurAffinity, because I can (read: am) no longer fully posting my works here, if you want to see them on FA it will be up to you to post any commission images you've purchased from me. I love you guys, but I'm not taking any chances losing my account. Sorry. |3c

That said, I only ask that you credit me appropriately with a link to my gallery here and I'll be happy as a lark. |3

A friend of mine is selling a batch of pretty lovely adopts. I had a hand in helping him flush their designs out, and I'd love to make sure that they're seen and considered for a good possible life in someone's cast. <3

Cheers~

Wow...

Despite departing from FA art-wise, I'm still slowly approaching 50,000 page views. You guys are amazing.

I'm a bit too busy to take on anymore full color pieces beyond my current commissions, but whomever catches that 50k i'll hand a free doodle in thanks~ |3

Thank you all so much for your love and support.

Today I found that there are a handful of words that i would never like to hear again. One of which is the word "authenticity," which I would never like to hear again; especially from the mouth of a critic or philosopher on art and its contemporary relevance. Unless called upon in measurable circumstances wherefore authencity of materials can cause instability in a structure, there should be no mention of its merit in art while I am around... at least for another month or so. I have no quarrel with the word itself, but the discussions of my peers in thesis course have been derailed many-a-time by this term until I, like many others of them, have reached this point of madness--triggered by the mere mention of the authenticity of the experience of a work of art and its comparitive, qualitative sense being akin to social dick-waving.

Seriously, augh >_<


The others of these words, however are a lot less convoluted or immeasurable and are a matter of effort rather than perspective or subject. THey are "What did you want us to get from this reading?" in the context of a student asking his of her teacher. At a university level, it insults the very purpose of issuing a reading in the first place. We are artists who were and are assigned readings that are relevant to our fields, and when that question is asked legitimately it is an indication that the questioner has either: A. not done the reading, or B. Has made no effort to come to class with a personal relation to the selected reading.

it's our duty to read and relate, then return to class to discuss our perspectives. Not to question why we are being asked for form a perspective in the first place.

It's only biding for time... blegh...
I wish more people actually read things.


I can imagine how many people aren't even reading this journal. |3c

To avoid losing this contact, i have removed all adult works period from this account. Now there should absolutely no reason for anyone to find "cub porn" in my gallery... because there is no porn.

I apologize to all my commissioners and watchers for this, but there have been multiple cases of bans being issued over past works, rather than warnings. Because of this, If I wish to continue watching those who I love to watch, at the very least, I must avoid ever having any work of any character in an "adult situation."

If there are any questions or concerns, or if you'd just like to see the images i removed again, you can send them to me on this journal, via note, or through email.

My apologies,

My series of undies pictures have been declared depictions of minors by the FA Administration and has been removed. I'm pretty damn sure that every single person I've drawn in them thus far has been over 18, but i'm not going to argue it. Nothing I say is going to stop a group's fight against artwork that even looks remotely cub. And this broad, vague net disgusts me.

I am and will always be an advocate of non-bulky cute work. That is my choice of style. If this means that my work will only be associated with cub art, then so be it. My art will no longer be posted to Fur Affinity to avoid further possible complication. This account will return to being a lurker account.

Thank you all for your love and support for all these years. I apologize for the absence, but my move to InkBunny was temporary out of fear of this happening. It is now a complete move.

If you'd like to continue to view my work, you can find it at http://inkbunny.net/avabun
If you'd like to report me for "Linking to minors in sexual situations," for leaving this invitation to follow, go ahead. I don't care anymore.

Whatever you choose to do, stay happy folks.

I'm quite thankful to Frustum for his work on this small song. Go give it a listen :3

Five years ago, I sat down in church with my guitar and started playing something on my guitar that I improvised. Our drummer heard it, and started playing. Our singer heard it, and started humming a melody. Our pianist got word of it and started playing along with me.

4 months ago, we finally hit the studio. And now, I never thought this day would come.

We're finally done.

You know what, fuck it. I didn't ask for this and it's becoming a recurring issue. So now that I've wasted two or three years on it I finally have an answer for every 'friend' who has ever said "You need to change to be a part of my life."

It is: "Okay. Bye."


Seriously. I do not want friends who change me, I want friends who accept me. I thought that friendship was all about two people having a commonground and accepting each others' faults to enjoy each other's company in that common interest. Since coming to FA, for some odd reason, that is being given to me as a completely wrong assumption.

Apparently I make a lot of assumptions, for that matter. I'm stubborn, I'm too open, I jump to conclusions and I have a problem with friends disregarding my emotions. Boo hoo. I'm 22-motherfucking-years old and I didn't waste the 17 years before I came to this fandom arguing with my friends over that shit. I shouldn't have to now.

I'm done playing nice. I'm done letting people who find themselves in my life try to run my life. I'm trying to be nice and friendly to everyone, friend or not. If there's an issue with me, bring it to me. Don't sit on it for 7+ years or some shit and then throw it at me like a goddamn holy hand grenade. If you don't bring it to me I can't do anything about it. If i'm going to be a bad guy for not reading your mind and sucking your dick the way you would prefer, I am obviously not a person you would want as a friend in the first place. I would be the bad guy from the get-go, so get going.

Enjoy life. I have work to do.

Today's the day... I almost forgot about it. Hooray~

Imma go back to eating my birthday burrito now |3

A bit of a belated thanks but still just as sincere.

The greatest of all thanks goes out to everyone who has contributed to this new milestone in my pageview history.~

I shall now go draw some form of porn as a gift in return |3...

Proof that a fandom is so gay, it doesn't even want its vaginas on females.

Take it or leave it,

I know I've been quiet for a while, but... I have a bit on my mind. I've been in college for about four years now (and I'm still nowhere near graduation for some reason), but not once have i ever had to face this kind of a problem during it.

You see, my world is crumbling around me. It used to be composed primarily of activities and involvement with friends as an important part of their lives, but recently I've felt as if I'm out of sight, out of mind and out of touch. I broke down a while back as I tried to manage this sudden shift into an unknown territory of misfavor, but as time passed I realized that I needed to stop breaking down and start building understanding.

So i first asked, "what is the problem?" The over-arcing problem is that I don't spend as much time with my friends as i want to; as they deserve. I then ask "why is this?" so that I can recognize what steps I need to take in order to reach a solution. The answer came to me in three ways:

The first: Holy shit what did I do? How can I make up for it?

... But after asking around, I found there was only one major conflict and it was causing only one friend to avoid me. Most others had no problem, so that didn't cover everyone.

The second: Maybe they just don't like me anymore.

... Another brick wall. My friends don't consider me a nuisance or dislike me. Granted, some lost respect for me in a lot of places due to me trying to attract others for reasons that were once reserved when I was in a relationship. However, that didn't utterly disgust them to their core and force them to leave me. I was still a good person in their eyes.

The third: What are the circumstances?

... Finally, an eye-opener. I am a college student who has a part-time job. Many of my friends do not share this occupation and may not choose to for a long period of time. This would obviously cause a problem for time, and it all made sense. Something clicked and I felt that I finally had an answer. I finally had something that I could consider changing to fix my relationships.

But then I was faced with the fact that my friends know this... That they ask only of my free time, not of my school time. They wish for my success academically and in life, and changing anything in my school schedule for them would hurt me more. They wouldn't want that...


I was stumped again.


One morning I logged into Skype and looked over a chat log of a group conversation that I'd joined a while back. It was near-exclusively with a group of friends and I noticed that I was the only one with the most dialogue in the text area of the chat... That, even after I'd left for the night the conversation carried on through ended calls and hyperlinks. That there were only a few utterances of words the entire time.

A new circumstance that I hadn't considered:

Maybe I'm out of touch because I didn't make the transition with them to voice chat. Voice chatting is closer, richer, a lot more involving than text chatting ever was. It would make sense that I feel a lot more distant when I wasn't bonding on that level.


I once reasoned with a dear friend that the world won't change for him; that the decisions he makes for his life and how he wants to live it will effect his circumstances and how he will be able to talk with others. If the common place to chat was in-game for everyone he wanted to talk to, he would just have to sign on to that game to talk to them. No invitation was necessary; we would be there waiting for him because it's where we always were.

I realize that the same applies for me. Where MSN was once a primary location for conversation, that location has now become Skype and the method has now become voice chat. My friends have chosen a far closer medium than just throwing their feelings around via text and I haven't joined them in the new common place.

Why didn't I?

Why...?

... Oh, yeah.

I got my skype account several years ago and it's been primarily active only for the last 2. I transfer between a public place where there is nothing but noise and commerce and a house where a parent is strongly vexed by my use of voice to share information about my everyday life with "strangers" online. This is a huge problem! Even during the weekends, where I once was able to chat in peace with only fear of her reading my screen, I was now in the open... she could hear what I was saying, and what they were if I wasn't using headphones. She could actively disagree with me and tell me what she doesn't want me saying. It is actually a problem for me to voice chat, so I don't.

This is now a huge freaking lemon that life's given me, and there's still no juicer in existence to turn it into lemonade. I literally have to deal with it and, as my mother put it, find some friends who aren't skyping because it isn't something I'm going to do with ease. I don't have the ability, I'm going to be left behind.

I am going to be left behind.

Deal with it.

WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE THIS SHIT FOR OSX?!

That is all,

Commissions are now Closed.

I haven't had a lot of time to draw at all the last few days, and now that I am able to draw I would like it to be for my own personal projects. Just for a while.

In other news, for those who weren't already aware, Wild Critters v.2 is now up and operational.

It can be found at http://www.wildcritters.net/ and includes (but is not limited to):
-Public gallery browsing without requiring an account
-Working and visible favorites for you to see what your buddies have faved
-No required account for use of features
-A working voting system for new images
-A quality standard, influenced by said voting system
-NO need for an account to browse the site
-A friendly and approachable administrative team

We are currently restocking our gallery with filtered quality 'cute and critter' content. Feel free to drop on in whenever you have the need to feed.


...


On cuteness.

...

Hopefully without actually eating the poor things.


...


That is all.

Something that I wanted to place down on something more stable than my memory.

_____.~._____
So you're a creator of anything from anywhere (furry or not) and are planning to get your work out there, but have seen a lot of drama build up in the field and are unsure of how it starts? Maybe you want to just avoid it altogether? Here's something that you may want to consider: Fame, or popularity will always be a factor in whether or not you get hit by the drama bug, and how hard.

Now, I know that not everyone steps into the art world trying to be a superstar. I definitely didn't. But, like many other things that are natural in life, it will come eventually. Here's why:

Recognition Leads to Popularity

As an artist you will eventually reach a point where you will want your work to be seen. There's always a little hurdle in the way as you're growing and are still shy about your art, but eventually every artist comes to the realization that their work means nothing if no one, at all, is observing it.

Artists do not necessarily come to art communities to gain popularity.; instead, we flock to art sites like deviantArt, FurAffinity, Inkbunny, SoFurry, etc. to both observe art and share art. We observe both comments and other works to learn and to improve, either by picking up shapes, methods and techniques or avoiding them. We share for a multitude of reasons, but primarily because we want to influence someone somewhere to do something. This can range from cheering someone else up with a visual hug, helping another out with an tutorial, and just seeking a bit of help, to just throwing an idea on paper, derp-ing around with an art meme, or ridiculing some idea.

When an artist draws something, no matter what the reason, they will gain recognition for it. Expecting it or not, anonymous or not, your style and likeness will show in your creation. The more enjoyable it is by the general public (either because it's wonderful in looks, or has an amazingly funny joke), the more it will be shared. The more it's shared, the more popularity it, and by extension, you will gain. As you continue to create work of the same quality or caliber, the more recognized for it you will become. Fame, in the creative field, is nothing more than you being recognized, known and expected to put out a certain quality, style, or theme of work by a large group of people. The larger and broader the group, the more fame you hold.

Fame = Infamy

As most who come in and don't necessarily want fame know, you cannot please everyone. This is, however, the only occasion where others' opinions of you does always matter. Everyone has an opinion, and as your work is seen by more people you will get more opinions on your work. Whether you like it or not, more eyes on your work means more brains behind those eyes with different preferences, experiences and volitions who may or may not share their opinion on your work. These can include, but are not limited to, friends, family/parents, future employers and, in a lot of cases, foreigners who do not speak your language. Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on the artist themselves and what they plan on doing with their art.

Regardless of the artist's take, opinions can be both positive and negative. People who enjoy your work will generally have positive opinions of it. People who don't enjoy your work will have negative opinions of it. Those with positive opinions will be more likely to share your work with others than those with negative opinions (most who don't like your work will leave it alone and move on, speaking nothing of it; others will complain about the inability to unsee). As your work is shared, it is seen by more people and gets even more opinions that can be either positive or negative. Unfortunately, because you cannot please everyone, having only positive opinions about yourself or your art is never possible (hopefully you abandoned that hope at the door).

For the sake of taking this without going into personal factors that may also add to others' distaste (or approval) of you, we'll go ahead and assume that the positive/negative opinion rate is directly proportionate.

Haters Gonna Hate

Forunately and unfortunately, both positive and negative pools will always have proactive members. As mentioned before, positive opinion holders who are active will go out and spread your works among their own. However, negative opinion holders who are active will actively express their distaste toward your work either directly via comment, note or email, or indirectly by rallying others who share distaste and ridicule your work.

Call it whatever you want; hate, trolling, jelly -- whatever. It's going to happen and there is nothing you can do about it.

Active negatives will always bring up their disappointment with your work in some fashion at some point. In one way or another, they will make it known that they do not like something about your work, and they will expect something to be done about it (otherwise they wouldn't even bother bringing it to you). You are NOT, by any means, obligated to do anything to your creation to please these people. However, the more you actively displease them (teasing, pointing, mocking, etc.) the more potential for dramatic attention you will bring to yourself.

You're a Special Snowflake, Don't Feed the Flames

In case you hadn't noticed, the more attention you bring to yourself on the internet, the more likely people are to investigate you. To learn about you, to take whatever information you have out there about yourself and use that as a point against you. This will include your belief system/morals, your faith, your education, your location, your job, your activities, your name, your face, and all of those nudes you sent to that 14 year-old several years ago...

This is not, at all, to say that you should go crawl into a corner or closet and hide. It is, however, a reminder (or alert if you weren't aware) that the luxuries of modern society are, once again, a target for those who have any reason to actively harm you. Your Facebook, your Twitter, your LiveJournal, your Steam account, your dA/FA/SF/IB/SA/Whatever Journal logs, your public activities on IRC, your own images and the information you give out about yourself on public spaces are where people learn about you through whatever you have openly shared. It's in public domain, displayed on a huge banner for everyone to freely access, and there is nothing you can do about it once it's out there.

The one and only thing that you can do, however, is not be a naïve, angsty pre-teen who posts their entire lives in the public eye. Otherwise, you cannot blame anyone else for what you did to yourself. It's most certainly not right, but that dog you fellated several years ago didn't need to be common knowledge, nor did those 14 shots of your penis and nude need to be shared with everyone who asked.
_____.~._____

Personally, I find it saddening that people actually go to such lengths. But it happens. With greater fame comes greater attention, and with greater attention comes higher personal expectations from many who you may never have wished to please. We see it in politics every day; straw-men being thrown this way and that, personal accusations that have nothing to do with the realm of governing itself, and thorough background searches being done by reporters at the 'request' of the public. It all seems surreal when imagined, overwhelming when it becomes a reality against yourself, and a rush when you become the perpetrator, taking the offensive and bringing down someone else. It's all unnecessary, modern human nature.

I fear fame. I like myself for who I am and my beliefs for what they stand for, and the thought that becoming grand at my craft will force me to abandon myself brings me great disgust. But where my stubborn nature and intolerance toward change in personal belief will be what wards away many potential friends and allies, it will bring out just as many actual respectable friends and allies over the course of my life. Regardless. If nothing else, there is one thing that I know absolutely.

Until the day when it is no longer possible, the internet will never see my true presence.

It's about time I got rid of the ton of expletives now. I've been done with dropping F-bombs for weeks now, so here's non-blown update:

personal

I'm happy. I have a personal portfolio site on the way and I couldn't be any happier. It's a class project (which means it WILL happen or else I waste $3,000 in loaned money), it's within my abilities and with the concept sketches done it's only a poster and a week or two worth of coding and refining away from completion. The domain has been purchased and my final page (and its WIP states) will be found at http://lambdhalo.com/ .

For those who knew of http://paupechai.zymichost.com/ , it will be dumbed down a bit and turned into a kind of blogish spot for information. Zymic is a web host that offers a nice free service, but is unfortunately a bit too limited for me to work with when it comes to uploading content that isn't text, html and images only.

In other news, I've simplified my life down to a few stages:

Stage 1: Initial Growth and Complete Dependancy
Stage 2: First Social Interaction and Self-Discovery
Stage 3: Development Into Puberty; Further Self-Discovery and Comfortability
Stage 4: Decision for a Future; Plotting my Reason for Existance
Stage 5: Developing Toward Usefulness
Stage 6: Exercising My Usefulness; Striving for full Independancy
Stage 7: ????
Stage 8: Profit

Obviously I can't fore see the future clearly, but I can certainly better myself for it. I know my future is in the working world. I want to have a use in it. My education is a key part of my life and I need to dedicate myself to it as much as possible.

social

Because users were getting tired of Pawsie waving his dick around in the WildCritters IRC chatroom, my appointed co-operators removed him sometime while I was writing a 'persuasive essay' for my English class. After hearing their explanation (and also hearing a few boastful/jeering words from the expelled who expected that he was allowed to return), I went along with the ban out of respect for the majority of others who did not enjoy his company at all.

The consequence of this is that the #wildcritters channel is no longer offically 'affiliated' with the WildCritters.ws site. However, because both it and the original site share the same original creators, members and contributors, it remains alive in the spirit of WildCritters and with the hopes for WildCritters 2.0.

Connection information:
server: irc.esper.net
channel: #wildcritters

3 things you should know before joining:
1. No, we do not talk about the drama on WC 100% of the time. It gets old, so just come in to enjoy yourself without worrying about it too much.

2. RPing is allowed within WildCritters-rp currently. #wildcritters-rp is a channel founded and owned by Pawsie. There has been no report of any conflict there, so it is still a great spot as far as I know.

3. Yes, we're furry, but we don't have to spread the drama. Try to keep heated discussions between private messages if you can, and do NOT feed the trolls (if you feed them, they will come).

Fuck

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fucking fuck. Shit fuck, fuck shit, fuck this shit. Drama fuck, lamma dick, motherfuck pole ass jeans.

Several months ago I was dropped out of two relationships within 24 hours. Quite fucking frankly, I am not looking for any more fucking relationships with anyone. I'm not trying to think about emotional shit anymore, nor am I trying to fucking answer shit anymore. Just fuck it. Fuck it in the ass with an enlarged, barbed cat dick. I'm going back to the fucking playground where I used to fucking play with whatever the fuck interested me whenever the fuck it interested me. Build shit, draw shit, write shit, fuck shit, I don't care. Enjoy it with me, or don't; it doesn't fucking matter. Just fuck it. I'm trying to get my education, i'm trying to play in the sandbox, and I'm trying to just live life. Let me fucking do it.

I fucking care about you guys, I really do. So fucking go outside. Fuck, stay inside, fuck yourself; I don't care. Just Fucking enjoy life and let me do it too.

Shit.

So, since PawsieCritters now accepts hard vore and guro I got to thinking...

It's my hypothesis that death-fetish artists within any fandom are potentially the greatest trolls of that fandom. No matter what, this style of situation can always play out:

Person A: "Wow those ______ sure are adorable/cool/sexy/interesting!"
Person B: "Yeah, they are! Know what would make them even more adorable/cool/sexy/interesting?"
A: "No, what?"
B: "Cutting its guts out and watching them spill over the floor while it writhes in its final moments of life."

A: "... ... What?"


When all is said and done, death is the end of everything that lives and gore is the tragic twist on the subject of death. Most people avoid it because they don't want the death of something they love (let alone a twist on the cold details of death), but those who cherish the thoughts of earthly death have the power to ruin the days of practically every person still experiencing and enjoying life. Optimistic or not.

I suppose that death is like that-- you never see it coming sometimes, and it can happen anywhere during anything in nature. However because the vast majority of human beings are not the intentional agents of death, nor do they enjoy the position if they must take it, it is a subject that shocks, disturbs, and should be held carefully within its own spectrum, separate from both a full fandom and the public eye.

But that's just me thinking over something that has already been decided and understood as common knowledge. I'll go ahead and get back to work now.

I wish you all a pleasant day,
