Random fact

As a side effect of his chameleon-like ability to change color and become invisible, Takeru is able to move his eyes independently but it also causes him to get dizzy instantly.

0 issues in 12 years:

- Make sure your Paypal is a business account
- USE INVOICES
- call it "digital commission"
- include product use, turnaround time, and refund policies in ToS field
- uncheck "ship items to address"
- DON'T write NSFW/adult

Don't get owned for negligence & rulebreaking.

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

@Inker_comics: I JUST GOT FUCKED UP REAL BAD [shared a screenshot of his suspension from PayPal]

@MrQuessos: [quote tweeting @Inker_comics] If you are going to pay an artist via PayPal, please DO NOT include ANYTHING related to commission or nsfw in the payment description. Whether out of ignorance or innocence, you could screw up someone's job.

Part of not calling out is that in the case of their situation i dont want to make it worse, I want to at least give them the chance to learn from this situation rather than immedietly calling them out

Poke @pokesmash.bsky.social · 2d

Usually with YCH's I can understand taking payment first cuz they are typically quick and the hard part is mostly done LMAO But not in this case i guess

Not gonna callout since Its more of venting b u t

They sent it to me later and then said it was done "last month" but procrastinated on sending it to me???

On top of this and more they had the audacity to say
"Mr. Poke, because as an artist I am also human, I am not an emotionless machine.".....

Poke @pokesmash.bsky.social · 6d

I love being told for 6 months that "it'll be done this day/week/month" only to get nothing. If someone can't take on a commission/YCH just say that rather than making me have to go through the entire refund process through paypal...

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

AAAAND here's a non painted tum version, because I guess you know, maybe you just want to look at a plain inflated werefox. I get it, it's fine. c':

A Platinum Werefox with glowy yellow eyes and wearing a black loin cloth is sitting on the ground(I guess???). He's holding a black rubber hose that's filling with air as he is gripping it quite hard. He's staring at it as it swells bigger and bigger.

A Platinum Werefox with glowy yellow eyes, wearing a black loincloth, is sitting on the ground, holding a rubber black hose. The hose is no longer inflated, and instead the Werefox is now the one who's inflated, as the hose was attached to his SOUTH MOUTH and the hose filled him with air.

OH HECK IT'S SPOOKY SEASON! :D

And what better way to celebrate SPOOKY SEASON than to get "pumped" with your local Platinum Werefox?

Looks like Crow the Werefox painted a lovely pumpkin on his tum! But what if he could make it... bigger? V:

Hey there, corgi, what are you cooking up? A witche's brew?

#art #noai #corgi #wizard #Halloween #furry #furryart

A mildly anthropomorphic Welsh corgi wizard stands beside a bubbling cauldron filled with glowing green liiquid, bubbles slowing rising from it. The corgi appears to be laughing maniacally as they wave a magic wand made from a bone, and are wearing a classic blue wizard hat bearing moons and stars, and a blue cape tied around their neck. Happy Halloween!

Day 6: "Pudding"

Someone wants to make Cerberus pop with pudding! Each head is getting forcefed a different flavor, but sharing one gut means they're filling up FAST! Alpha, the central dominant head of the trio, tries to pull any of the hoses out of their mouths before their gut BLOWS!
