Thank-you. It means everything.

So for those of you who have joined since last year, I make a very personal post on Thanksgiving, thanking you, all of you-even those who have since left and can't read this at the moment-for supporting this Patreon. There are those who support me outside of it(E-Junkie, conventions), and those who support me non-monetarily too.

I say "thank you" and "thank you for your support" quite often. It feels like sometimes it's become habit or forced...I guess I wanted to make sure that you all knew just how much I meant it each time. There isn't a day that goes by I don't feel gratitude for this site and the hundreds of people on it that let me draw for a living. You are taking your income and bit-by-bit helping me have my own. It can go up, it can go down, it's not a guarantee or a certainty. Therefore I can't afford to take it for granted, and every day I try to think about how I can best please you guys. I know I won't be able to make everyone 100% happy, but keeping it varied, fresh, trying new things, being open to critique and feedback I think is the best I can do.

I try very hard to respond everyone, and take criticism seriously. I was raised low-mid class with, still, a lot of student loan debt that makes me appreciate all of this support in helping pull me out and do some good for others. It's just furry porn, but still, it's something I suppose! As cheesy as it sounds, I believe the person matters more than the pledge; I pay more attention to the number of Patrons than the totals. I want people to get their support's worth of process and content regardless of tier, and I'm thankful that you all have been both confirming that, and offering feedback on how to better improve it.

I am not the best, nor quickest, artist. I don't move as quickly uploading tons of finalized work as some other artists, nor as many. But I hope my effort and gratitude shows; I don't want to come off as lazy or taking this support for granted, because I certainly don't. I worry how it looks sometimes, given my lack of volume or quality compared to other artists. Maybe that's just the inner self-criticism talking.

So, TL;DR: Thank you. And I hope your stay, however long, to my Patreon, is worth it.

Thank-you. It means everything.

FluffKevlar

I love to hear it! I want to keep fans happy and around as much as I can!

FluffKevlar

Woo! You're most welcome! I hope to keep getting better and doing my best!

FluffKevlar

Haha, 69 always makes me think of Bill and Ted. Thank-you!

FluffKevlar

Haha, I do feel bad for dwindling down on the ARA blog as of late, now that you mention it. Thank you for the comments on the characters, and the sheer flattery!

FluffKevlar

I love to hear that I can inspire! Happy that those projects and trials came out nicely too, thank you!

FluffKevlar

Haha, thank you too! It's flattering to have you here as well~ I wish I could speak Russian fluently!

FluffKevlar

True! I am just thankful I can do both for now!

FluffKevlar

Aww, you're too kind! And yeah I do try and get around to requests as fair and as timely as I can, despite the numbers!

FluffKevlar

Only if you really think it's worth supporting! I'd hate for people to feel pressured into it. Thank you so much!

FluffKevlar

Bird rhymes with nerd. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

Ian

horosho! thank you very much for the amazing work you've put out so far - I've been a fan for a long time and will continue to be so. And I think it always does best if people can support what they enjoy. cheers from germany, dp.

I originally found you thanks to this lovely picture you did of Kat <a href="https://twitter.com/fluffkevlar/status/758815831245529088" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/fluffkevlar/status/758815831245529088</a> But it has been you amazing style, characters and stories that have kept me coming back. So THANK YOU for all that you do and keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing the pawsome work you will undoubtably create in the coming year. 💜

Shinault Sketches

Sides, the longer I'm a Patreon, the better chance of me seeing 1 sexually explicit piece done of ARA, T-T even though it's not likely... ♡^♡ Dat OFFLINE ARA butt wallpaper though, when Kev's not streaming, it's now my wallpaper, sadly they'll never be a solo of her in sexually inviting poses, knowing she won't ever use a vibe, and well detailed as her normal wallpapers.... (I've only seen 1, not really an "inviting," one. IF ONLY I WAS AS GOOD AS KEV I'D DRAW HER MYSELF, ....so that's why I'm going to college. d: ARA is the ultimate tease, and Kev's almost a master at maxing her tease potential. ARA's tease just by existing, is Good enough to make you (me) cry like a kid in a candy store going, "BUT, I WANT IT!!!!!! and you'll never get it. T-T

Shinault Sketches

i was tempted to keep the hearts at 69 to keep the joke, but nah, i suppose addin an heart to show i care about your heartfelt thanks seemed the better way to go.

Simone Spinozzi

I supported the moment I got my first credit card. ♡^♡

Shinault Sketches

I remember I originally stumbled across your art n E621, and I loved your art back then. Then later when I started following you on Furaffinity and saw you had a Patreon, I was wary because there are other artists that lock EVERYTHING behind a paywall. I saw that you were different, I love your art and wanted to support you, and you weren't the kind to post nothing but barely censored teasers on your public profiles. But I really knew I wanted to support you when I saw your ARA blog and became fascinated with your characters and universe. To this day I love every one of your characters and love learning about them, learning about your universe, the tech, the style...just everything. Every one of your characters is beautifully designed and I love seeing them and learning about them and their stories. ARA, Ayn, Nytro, Vikna, Radoslav, Warning, Kesis, Twix, Tala, Rhezi, Rane, and all the others, they're great, beautiful characters that I always love seeing your art of. Don't be hard on yourself, your art is amazing. You're one of my favorite artists. Every day that you post art or stream is a great day to me. I love your art, I love your characters, and I will continue to support you as long as I can. In fact, I wish I could do more, but that will have to wait for now. You may be thankful for us, but a lot of us are just as thankful for you!

ExtremistLine

Fluff, you are one of the most talented artists that I know and actively follow - your works are inspiring me to want to come out with work of my own someday, and I appreciate all of the interaction and content that you provide month after month. BITober was particularly awesome, and the Ara daki is sensational, in addition to all your other works! I may not have time to jump onto every stream or comment on every single piece, but I want to let you know that I thank you for sharing your INCREDIBLE talent. You are my top pledge for all the above reasons and for connecting in such a positive manner! Here's to much more success and great works!

There's two different kinds of artists when it comes down to it. Those that are just in it for the money and popularity (the ones who have inflated egos), and those who are in it for the joys of being here: friends, happy faces of those who love your work, the positive reinforcement to help you do what you enjoy doing, and the feeling that you're truly free by living off what you have a passion for. You're the second kind of artist, and by far the most important kind in my opinion. Those with inflated egos who don't truly feel humbled like you do don't really deserve their follower's hard earned money, but the second kind of artist mentioned deserves more than just financial stability. You and others like you deserve the utmost happiness in your life just as much as any of us who follow and adore you do.

Kraton Haddock

I've followed you for I-don't-know-how-long, and when I found out you had a patreon, supported you here as soon as I knew. And after all this time, all I can say is, you're more than worth it Fluff. *huggles*

Kraton Haddock

Пожалуйста :)

Miles-DF

In life, one will never satisfy everyone. What matters first is yourself enjoying doing what you love!

Diverclores

TryManX

Yo ure most welcome! As time goes on, I'll be upping my contribution. I don't do it for the thanks, but because you deserve it &lt;3

Fel the Worgal

I'm flattered! I do try my best at each thing I do, but it never fails to flatter me, comments like this! Thank you~

FluffKevlar

Haha, true, I know I'll never change the world with my work, but the feeling in it maybe!

FluffKevlar

Had a good meal indeed, and you take care too!

FluffKevlar

Inspiration is the best thank-you I think I can get! I like your art back, so keep going! :D

FluffKevlar

I am just happy I can do the making-happy part! Thanks!

FluffKevlar

Haha, yeah I like throwing her some Russian whenever I can! I wasn't sure if it was too informal version of "thanks" but I decided to leave it be for now. Thanks!

FluffKevlar

Thank you, I hope you do as well! I try to do as much as I can~

FluffKevlar

You're too kind, hahah. It's nice to hear that my work has a presence of good feeling!

FluffKevlar

I'll keep going as much as I can, yeh!

FluffKevlar

I hope so too, and to keep it fun all the while!

FluffKevlar

Haha, thank you! I don't think I'd stop drawing her

FluffKevlar

Well believe me, it's all really wonderful to hear that kinda stuff, makes me confident that I'm doing okay in those regards!

FluffKevlar

Haha, I'm glad that despite the porn, the essence of my OCs or stuff can seep though, yeah. Thank you a ton!

FluffKevlar

A lot of people feel bad that they can't support when short on funds, but I always say "you take care of you first"! I wouldn't feel right earning money while someone was in a tough spot. Thank you!

FluffKevlar

Thank you though! I really do count every person as important, as I always know amounts can change, even to zero! So I try to keep making it worthwhile

FluffKevlar

I am quite glad you think my work is up there! And I should have the dakis/more for a while!

FluffKevlar

Thank you so much :D I am glad I put it out okay!

FluffKevlar

I do like drawing them! I won't stop finding them fun, haha

FluffKevlar

Thanks back!

FluffKevlar

I won't if I can help it! Thank you!

FluffKevlar

I am too humbled by this high pillar! I can only keep doing my best, thank you!

FluffKevlar

Haha, well I'm glad I do okay at the personality bit, thanks!

FluffKevlar

Thank-you back, and I am overjoyed to read all this here!

FluffKevlar

Aw, I appreciate it! That always means a lot to hear, it's a great compliment IMO.

FluffKevlar

Well thank you for the long and thought-out response! I try my best!

FluffKevlar

Thank you for saying so!

FluffKevlar

Honestly, it was never just about art. You’ve got amazing personality and your streams are never boring. Answering questions from watchers, playing good music and over all great atmosphere. That’s a rare trait, keep it. As an artist, you’re not fastest, that’s true but your art is full of originality and ideas. All those poses, expressions, universes and story telling are worth every minute and penny I spend here. Even tho I’m not that old patron compared to some other guys. All in all, thank you for opportunity so meet you as an amazing artist and personality and thanks for all that amazing art you did over the past few years. Keep doing what you love and never stop doing that :D

SVKwolf

Aww its not just the furry porn, I found you from one of your more tame Vikna pics and you still caught my eye! I appreciate your characters designs and personalities you give them, I appreciate you and the effort you put into the work you do, and yes I do appreciate the porn along with all your other drawings. As time goes by I can definitely see your art improving bit by bit, in all honesty its nice seeing you upload sketches just showing what you're working on. You may not be fastest or the most flawless of artists, but you're certainly not lazy and you'll keep working if there's anywhere to improve. Even if i'm not totally into the stuff you're posting at whichever moment be it from some kink i'm just not into or some character I just don't like, I'm still happy to support you because you're working hard to try for everybody you could. Thank you Fluff and Happy Thanksgiving to you and everybody else celebrating it! (mine was last month)

Merry American Thanksgivemas! I wish we had a 2nd Thanksgiving in November

You're literally my inspiration to continue my sci-fi world dude. You're cool, stoic but approachable, as some who wants to eventually do anthro sci-fi art you're like something that keeps me from completely burning out and wanting to continue worldbuilding. Might eventually do something where Tala's cozed up in a cozy parka and armed with a fierce spear and a longbow in arctic forests and ancient ruins that look like Blade Runner in Alaska after a century of being retaken by nature, once I'm confident with doing a picture like that with proper skill.

Dude, you're doing just fine! You make plenty of art, and of great quality. You're fun to interact with, with a great sense of humour and an approachable personality. Your art is widely varied and never seems repetitive. Your character designs are intriguing and engaging, as is the lore of the world they live in. Whether it's a hardcore pin-up or a simple, silly doodle, it's rare that I, personally, find something you have created that I dislike; and when I do it's due to personal taste, not any shortcoming of yours. Your best art may not be as highly detailed as some artists (although it's still pretty detailed), and you may not crank out art daily like some well oiled machine, but I still consider you to be among the best of the best for all the reasons stated above. In every image you make I see passion and enjoyment for creating the art itself. It's something that is, sadly, becoming a rare trait, and yet it never ceases to ensure the very best art is made. It might be cliched to say, but when something is "made with love" it's always the best it can be. You thank us for the support we give you, and the chance to continue doing what you like. I say thank you for sharing what you love with us. It's not "just furry porn", it's art, defined as such by the motivation behind it. Anyone can draw two characters screwing, but to breath such meaning and life in them transcends mere porn. Thank you for showing us this world of yours, for creating it and its inhabitants and takings us along with you on the adventures of your imagination.

Silvador

I'd say you've been doing a great job so far! Thank you for all your hard work, it's been inspiring to watch you develop over the years with your comics and art, and hopefully you'll keep developing for many more years to come!

Bionet

Nah dude, thank -you-. You produce the best art out there IMO. You skyrocketed to my favorite artist slot faster than anybody else, and like hell if anybody else is ever gonna take that place. You're an awesome person, you make awesome art, and hell it's not even expensive to support you. So, really. Thank you.

KCDodger

You're most welcome. You're one of my favorite artists you know! ;3 One day I hope to get art from you. Never stop drawing, bro! *hugs*

Korben the Dragon

You're welcome and thank you for being a great artist.

SCPilot

There's no tiddies like FK tiddies. Keep the good work!

Prednizone

Honestly, out of the dozens of creators I've subscribed to since creating a Patreon account, your content has been of the highest quality and the most satisfying I've seen. You've been professional and kept to the schedule you set and I am always happy to see each post you make. Thank YOU!

Thunder Rahja

Just keep drawing and we'll fine, k fam?

Kelanich Santovedis

That was beautiful, I honestly love and appreciate you, your artwork, your commentary in your streams, and your singing of course. You have made me more embrace being a furry (and even consider conventions) and love it so much more, and even re-inspire me to draw. After a few of your streams I just couldn't not support you on patreon and I'm glad this means so much to you. Your POTTER exclamations and singing has added much appreciated entertainment to doing exhausting homework. I hope to be able to support you for as long as you are on patreon, I feel that you really deserve it, even if it's just furry porn as you say :P Have a great Thanksgiving (or black Friday at this point)! You're my favorite artist and a pretty cool guy from what I gather in your streams, so keeping awesome!!!! :3 ~8bitKittyCat &lt;3 P.S. all you other people here I also hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well :D

God to be able to support you! I’ve always loved your style, and art, and hope to stay as a patron for a long time!

iceFox

I'll be a Patreon till either I run out of money, or you/I die. The art is too God, and NO WAY IM LEAVING KNOWING THERE'S MORE ARA ART TO BE MADE! #ARAisBestWaifu #ARAisMyGoddess &gt;:3 owo ♡^♡ 😍😳💋❤💓💕💖💗💙💞 Furry Hentai wouldnt be the same without yah! lol #ARAsOtaku lmao

Shinault Sketches

Keep it up fluff....... ok apperently i pushed the wrong button........ oh well double comment lol. As far as your art speed and quality. Dont fret. Its perfect. Dosent matyer what others are doing. Do you :3

Mylo Husky

I just wanna say you were the reason i got a patreon. I love the streams that i can get to. I love you art. You are in my top 3 fav artists. I only wish i could pledge more. I kmow this all sounds cheesy and dumb but seriously. From what little ive interated with you in streams and just your art in general you seem pretty awesome. And i cant tell you how much i ADORE the world you are building. Ara is just the best. And that whole world. The ship. The lore. It all amazes me.

Mylo Husky

Thank YOU for being a great artist and person. I've never felt like you were being slow or not trying as hard. If anything, I feel like you pace yourself a bit better and put more care into your work than most. Anyone can churn out soulless porn five times as fast as you do, but in the end, none of it would be memorable or noteworthy. You indulge some fantasies and fetishes here and there because it's fun, but the core of your work feels like there's genuine personality behind it. It's a real treat to be able to participate in your worldbuilding and design decisions through feedback and suggestions, and to see the hints of what is to come. I'm always excited to see what you do next. c:

Volpethrope

Fluff, I feel everything to produce is well worth every penny! I myself struggle with finances and feel bad when I cannot pitch in even a few bucks. You are such a talented artist, and I'm thankful you are around, and honored to be able to help in some way. Hope you have/had a great Thanksgiving, and I hope you have many more great days ahead!

I really sympathize with everything you've written here, Fluff, honestly. I'm happy (and envious) you've managed to a living doing what you enjoy. Seeing you succeed sort of gives me hope/fills me with determination, so i'm glad my (meager) contribution is helping towards it. Keep it up man i'm rooting for ya. &lt;3

unsteddy

Fluff, don't worry about the volume of work you're producing. All of it is high quality. You are one of my favourite artists and I am happy to support you any way I can. I just landed a new job so I'm hoping if there's still an opening for an ARA daki that I can get one after my first or second paycheque.

LifeWulf

Its always a bright spot in my day to see your art pop up on my phone, Fluff. Your art is amazing, you're a great person, and im very happy to support you. Its an honor to be here! Thank you!

Iselwyr

Thank YOU, Fluff. I love how much extra effort you put into things this last year - finding time to do request streams WHILE doing BITober, somehow giving us an extra Vikna pinup even when you had to evacuate because of a hurricane. And that doesn’t even mention your streams, which are a genuine joy whenever I feel alone in my apartment. So of course I’m more than happy to support you! I hope you have a great weekend. :)

Mesmerist

Vikna saying "thank you" in my mother tongue? Best thanks I received in my life. Stay strong, Fluff!

Pavel

Fluff Ever since I got a job and figured out Patreon I had to donate to you. I might not ever get commissions but I think your art is top tier. Like..Holy fuck. It's amazing and oh so sexy. I can't get enough of your art. But I patiently wait for it, I don't expect you to pump it out because you're only human. You can't always draw. Keep up the epic and smexy work Fluff!

Thunderclap421

If you express gratitude for something everyday, you might not make the world a better place But it would sure feel like one. Happy Thanksgiving, Fluff.

Love you Fluff, hope you have a great day and enjoy a hearty meal!

This is lovely. Thanks to you too Fluff! I still remember you as one of the first artists I found when I was just starting out 5 or so years ago thinking "wow.. I want to be as good as this guy when I "grow up" someday =p. So thanks for the inspiration and I'll be here as long as I can!

Monkeyspirit

Aww, Fluff!! We love you too man! We’re thankful to have such a level-headed person like you making us all happy!
