Goodbye
2 min read
Hello everyone. You've probably noticed I've not been very active these past days. To make it short, I was pondering about my future on this platform, and I have come to the decision of bidding farewell to everyone and moving on to greener pastures. I don't plan on deleting my account, as I have many fond memories tied to this website, but I will not post any new content movin forward. I had been toying with this thought ever since Eclipse was implemented, in all honesty, as the website I loved pretty much died on that day. So many artists I followed left, my works received a fraction of the engagement despite me having even more followers than before, and overall the whole place resembled like a ghost town compared to the vibrant community it once was. I kept posting here more out of obligation than else. Now, you have probably heard of the newest dumbfuckery DA pulled with the AI. That was quite frankly the last straw for me. I swear, it feels like they are trying to purposely alienate their community in any way possible. I feel extremely disappointed and betrayed, and that has led me to the decision of leaving this website for good, at least for the time being. Maybe I will change my mind in the future, but I doubt it will happen anytme soon. Right now you can follow my art on Furaffinity, which is my "main platform" so to speak, or on Twitter. I have the exact same username ( 0laffson with a zero on the first O) on both platforms. Considering Twitter is currently going down the drain as well, I may soon move to other websites too (Instagram maybe? Mastodon? Who knows), and in that case I will let you know. Lastly, I want to thank you all for following me on my artistic journey all these years. Thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart. Without your support I doubt I'd have had the same motivation to improve and learn. I wish you all the very best! Goodbye 0laff

5000 watchers!
2 min read
Hello everyone! 
As the title says, the 5000 watchers milestone has been reached, at last! I honestly can't believe it, I'm speechless. When I first joined this site it was mainly to look at other people's art and to occasionally post some silly things, I would have never imagined I'd get to this point. I really want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, both my new followers and the ones who have been sticking around since the beginning. You are all awesome, and you have no idea how much you've motivated me throughout the years. I'd have never put so much effort into practicing with my art without you, and knowing that other people would enjoy all the crazy worlds and characters that are floating in my head really drove me to bring more of them to life on paper.
Because of this I've decided to do something different this time... namely re-making some of my old artwork. Many ideas I had years ago were sweet, but I lacked the proper technique and polish to render them as well as I'd do today. Of course I have no intention of making a perfect remake, but more like reusing the general concept.
However, I wanted to let YOU decide which one of my old works you'd like to see coming back from the past! I posted a poll, and I'm very eager to see what you will choose.
Thank you all so much again.

So, in order to celebrate, I'd normally do a free art raffle, but coincidentally I've also reached a 2000 watchers milestone on Furaffinity as well, so doing two raffles at once would be a bit too much work (by the way, if you are interested you can all go and join the Furaffinity raffle too. You can easily make an account there).
However, I wanted to let YOU decide which one of my old works you'd like to see coming back from the past! I posted a poll, and I'm very eager to see what you will choose.

One more year...
8 min read
Yet another year has passed, and I reached the venerable age of 26... a bit too old for my taste!
In any case, I wanted to thank you all SO much for all the "happy birthday's" you left on my profile and also for the support and patience you showed me in the past months. In case you didn't know, I'll (hopefully) graduate from my bachelor degree in a few days, and that is why I haven't been very active in the past few weeks.
I'd also like to feature some amazing gift art and stories I've received in the past days, as I feel they truly deserve it. I'm truly honored and touched by the fact you decided to spend so much time working on these gifts, and I really struggle to express just how grateful I am. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, really!

Shadi and Kari sharing a tender moment... I can't get enough of these two! Just look how adorable they are! XD

Enorach and Lars finally visited the city of Sirath... and of course Lars has to make sure Enorach doesn't fall in the water while drunk, which is something totally plausible knowing him.

A pretty dark story not featuring any of my characters, but with a lot of sad kittens. And we all LOVE sad kittens >:]

An adorable, little animation of Shadi playing a lute! This is just too cute, and it's also the first time I've ever received an animation as a gift!

An amazing short story (well, it's actually pretty damn long) featuring King Arashir and his first encounter with human ambassadors, before his kingdom fell into ruin.The illustration is based on his story By An adorable, little animation of Shadi playing a lute! This is just too cute, and it's also the first time I've ever received an animation as a gift!
The DecisionThere was an excited weight in the air. The huge throne room was crowded with countless courtiers that were dressed in the best costumes and whispered, wondering what would happen today. They looked at the king from time to time with caution in anticipation of his order to be silent.and
King Arashir glanced at Nirai, who was sitting to his left - in her amber-coloured eyes, he read the question: "Are they really late?"
Arashir nodded reassuringly. Externally, as well as mentally, he kept his calmness. But he could not help but note that now Nirai, dressed in a silk saree, which emphasized her elegance, was especially beautiful, from tufts on black ears to the tip of the tail; although she did not put on jewelry and limited herself, like Arashir, with bright patterns on sandy fur. Recently, only the family has distracted Arashir from dark thoughts about the war with the desert lizards, which had increasingly depleted the Sirath kingdom and devastated the treasury. For six years, the terrib

Thief's DawnSlow kittens didn’t eat. She had learned that rule. You had to be quick. If you weren’t no one else would share their bread.By
Sharing was something no one did. Not unless they had a lot. It didn’t take a lot to have a lot more than what she had. There were other ways to get more; earn it, they said. Things she had done when there were no other choices.
She hated that. It hurt. It was hot. And sometimes they didn’t pay. No. That was the last resort, for kittens too slow to feed themselves the proper way. She wasn’t too slow. Not yet.
She remembered her name, though no one else did, Sandra. Sandy, the other kittens called her, for the color of her fur more than her name. It had scared her, they had all known her name—she had thought—it was a strange relief when they had told her otherwise. Kittens were always named by their fur color, except when someone else bigger had that name; then they were called something else.

By This gift is a bit older than the others but I still wanted to share it! Shadi meets Penelope, one of Tek's characters, and they immediately get along very well, sharing their love for chaos and mayhem.

Again, I'm just so happy and grateful, you have no idea how uplifting and motivating your support is! You are all amazing, I don't know what else to say!

Deal (results)
1 min read
Hello everyone!
So... I'm quite amazed by how many people decided to join in on the "deal" I proposed on the last journal. I thought no more than 5-10 people would join in, so you can imagine my surprised when I noticed 17 people willing to take part in this.
Thank you all SO much for being willing to support me, it truly means a lot. I wish I could give something to each one of you, but unfortunately it's not possible.
Anyways, I used a random number generator and the result was "17", which means is the winner.
Sorry for all the others who also wanted some art, I hope you will have more luck in the future! ^^ Thanks again for joining in.

Hey everyone!
As the title says, I wanted to offer a deal to anyone who wants. To make it short, my core membership expired and I was wondering if someone would be willing to buy me one year of membership (50$) in exchange for a drawing of one of their characters. The result you can expect would be something like this:
In about 24 hours I'll contact the "winner", and we can discuss about the payment and subject of the drawing. If for some reason you can't pay or change your mind, I'll contact another partecipant.

To make it short, my core membership expired and I was wondering if someone would be willing to buy me one year of membership (50$) in exchange for a drawing of one of their characters. The result you can expect would be something like this:
One character with minimal background, fully colored and inked (unless you prefer a pencil lineart). I don't draw explicit nudity and fatishes, but tasteful nudity is fine by me. All this can be sorted out later in any case.
As you can see by looking at my gallery, drawing humans / anthros in ancient settings is what I do best. Of course you can ask for whatever you want and I'd try my best with any subject, but you'd probably get the best results if you didn't ask for something a bit too far from my comfort zone.RULES! (read carefully)
For those who are interested, just write CLEARLY in the comments below that you are willing to make the deal, and then I'll assign you a number and pick the lucky one among the bunch. I was going to do a "the first one to comment wins" but thinking about it, that would not be very fair for people living in different timezones, or simply busy at the moment. Hopefully this will give an equal chance to anyone who is willing to spend those 50 bucks.In about 24 hours I'll contact the "winner", and we can discuss about the payment and subject of the drawing. If for some reason you can't pay or change your mind, I'll contact another partecipant.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't just buy me the membership without commenting or without waiting for me to contact you first, as that would be extremely unfair to all other partecipants and most of all for the person who would be picked. If you decide to ignore these rules and buy me the Core without waiting for the results tomorrow, I would NOT give you any art in exchange. You'd have my gratitude, but I'd still pick a winner and complete the deal with them, as it was supposed to be. You are warned!
