Nuki News #97 - Our Failures

I know I said I probably wouldn’t do another more broad-topic sort of NukiNews posts, but this week had me thinking about this topic. There’s a lot of ‘failure’ we have to deal with in our lives. We fail to meet expectations, which is usually what failure pertains to. Expectations of ourselves, of others, or what others have of us. At times we don’t even realize there were expectations to begin with, which tends to cause conflict between people due to a breakdown of communication. View Post

Nuki News #94 - Senpai Noticed Me!

If you haven’t heard of the term before, Google says it means the following:

“One-sided relationships, where one person extends emotional energy, interest and time, and the other party, the persona, is completely unaware of the other's existence. “

Which is actually a bit harsher than what I’m thinking of. As an artist in the furry community, I do become aware of folks! We might not be officially friends, but we exchange messages, words, ...

Yep, sequel to this one back in March! I finally finished the character design here. :)

Took a few months in the back of my mind, and some attempts at the design on paper, but I seemed to have synthesized the ideas and inspirations I had for this into the new original character of mine- Au.gment, or Auggy, for short. I finally got a m...

Nuki News #92 - Stitch Study!

You could say I'm getting WAY ahead of 6/26(Stitch Day) with this, haha!

So, this last week, after finishing my queue and doing the monthly AMA, I do believe I hit a spot of burnout. I didn't draw at all, at most colored a sequence on stream that I didn't get to finish in April. It was very odd; usually burnout I feel is more associated with an unwillingness to make or draw or do what it is that you're burned out of.

But I still very much had the desire, it never left! But my brai...

Gosh, here we are, 3 months and nearly a week has past since 2022 started. You mighta noticed last week I said I was aiming to stream myself drawing last week's AMA, but sadly I got the unfortunate happenstance of my computer's motherboard going caput. Well, good news is April is brighter because my computer is fixed, and hopefully I've had enough tech troubles to last me the rest of the year, aha.

Right, so, what's been the year like for me so far business wise? I'll start with financi...

Spring has indeed sprung!

If it's alright, I wanted to push the AMA answers post to the 30th(next week!) and talk about what's on my mind currently. 

My perception of time overall has gotten quite imprecise, too. 2020, 2021, and 2022 all feel in a way, like just one conglomerate. I recognize them as separat...

Nuki News #86 - All that Glitters

I've been thinking about a character in my mind- a sort of Robotic, protogen like kangaroo. I've taken to nicknaming it 'Gold'. 

Character design is by far not my forte'- I don't even do ref sheet commissions publicly, and when I do take them on, it has to be someone I've worked with and drawn their character a few times beforehand, and the happen to enjoy how I draw them.

Nuki News #85 - Gorochu!

Hah, first nukinews of March caught me by surprise i'll admit. So uh, here's what I'm up to today- drawing Gorochu! At least, my interpretation of it! I'd been wanting to draw this fabled fakemon who-could-have been Raichu's evolution for quite a few years and never got to it! 

The reason I'm just now getting to it? Well, a mutual creative friend of mine has a Raichu Sona, and their birthday is coming up, I had an idea...but I had to work on my own interpretation of Gorochu first! ...
