Comms are re-opened! You may now get slots on the queue if you so wish, do check the trello on the front page for the queue. It's decreased since I closed and moved house but it's not empty ^^;

I had hoped to open again at the end of this week, however, due to raising costs and some problems with this flat, we've had to move. Fortunately, we've found a nice little place that we'll be moving to in February. Once we've settled in, comms will be re-opened.

Work on the queue is still on-going, it may slow a little closer to the move but right now it is progressing as it should~

Anyone who wishes to grab a slot should know that even if they did it now, they'd still be in the same place if they got the slot when I open (assuming they don't wait too long after the day I open :P ) so the waiting time is essentially also me catching up ;)

Due to the festive season, and a lot going on in my life at this moment, work is getting a little slower this month, and likely will early next month too. So to alleviate the pressure a little, I'm going to be closing comms soon. All current slots are all still fine, and anyone who wants to grab a slot before I close can do so if they've not already gotten 2 unpaid slots. (I'll likely open before I get finished with the BEEEG queue right now so don't feel pressured or feel like you're gonna miss out ^w^ )

Not set a day that I'll specifically close but, likely in a few days or so, so you've been warned ;P

That's right! With bigger art pieces in the works and focus on other projects, I've ended up catching up in art and may not be able to follow through with the upload every 3 days anymore, at least, here anyway! ;)

I think now is a good time to start spreading my current art to other sites, SoFurry, e621, etc. I'll likely slow from 3 days on FA just so I can keep a relative control on consistently timed uploads, or maybe I'll just not worry about that too much and upload whenever (so long as it's not too all over the place :P )

Just thought I'd update you all in case you've grown used to the upload every 3 days system and are noticing it's changing suddenly c:

tl:dr: Uploads on FA will be slower. Every 3 days gonna be uploading to other places to help spread my name c:

Commissions are now open!

I thought I'd detail a few things here that I think will be healthy for me and transparent for all who enjoy my art.
I'm not going away or anything, but the time I spent closed got busy for all sorts of reasons, and my output of art wasn't as productive as I was hoping - the current queue of slots hardly feel worked through. Of course I'm still gonna work through my comms, and accept new ones, but there's days I wake up, draw, and then the day has passed by and I look at a multitude of projects I want to work on and think "maybe tomorrow" and months pass by.

So, I wanted to state here that, I'm still gonna work on comms, I'm still gonna improve myself and ensure that these new costs are very much deserved for the quality I want to give you, and I'll always keep my trello updated if not every day then every few days.

However, I want to also look after myself, so I'm here to state that:

-I have projects I want to work on. Labels in my gallery that I want to fill. Plaisir, etc. So I think I'm gonna force myself to take an amount of "Work hours" and replace them with "hobby hours" every week. Work on things that I've wanted to work on.

-I struggle to have weekends, I tend to work every day for most of the day every week with exception to whenever I have a holiday ^^; So, I'm gonna look after myself better and take days off.

The main point from this is that, it will slow down how quickly I get through art, and I hope that you can bear with me as I get through things, and that you can enjoy the other things I bring forth as well as whatever you may commission from me. Do know that those who have paid or plan to pay, your comms are safe and nothing is being removed or anything silly like that c: Just my speed may slow down so I can look after myself and make a mark on things I wanna make c:

Thank you all for reading this, and I hope you all have a lovely day. Feel free to talk about whatever down below if you'd like~

TL;DR: Work output is gonna slow a little.

I'd like to be clear early on so peeps are aware c:

I'll be closing comms/slots beginning of April and possibly late March. During this time I'll be continuing work and catching up with comms, and then on the 18th of April (my birthday!), I'll be renewing my prices, increasing them to better reflect the quality of my art.

Any who have booked their slots BEFORE April 18th but can't pay until AFTER will be paying using the original prices, not the new prices. Remember, max 2 unpaid slots per person.

With my uploading art every 3 days going well so far, I think I'll also try to sort my gallery out, creating folders for ease for anyone wanting to peruse my older works. I still have yet to expand properly to other places yet, so that's another thing I want to do.

Anyway that's all. Have a great day all~ <3

Hey all c: I've been thinking about expanding where I share my art (and soon more stories!)

I didn't wanna announce this, like, last month with all the other stuff going on, as peeps might think I'm leaving FA :P (I'm not!) But I am gonna expand and start sharing my art to other locations.

This will include:
-e621
-SoFurry
-Maybe Blue sky once I get that? I've found that Twitter doesn't really... Get any traction for me ^^;
-And Inkbunny, since apparently a lot of pokemon artists and fans went over there o:

I'm staying here too though so don't you worry, just trying to expand where I share my stuff c: Get myself out there more.

And in other news, I'm moving...House! x3 (That can sound confusing after I said I'm staying x3). End of this month I'm gonna be moving out, so there may not be a lot of activity around then, but things will pick up and be better than ever after that! c:

(I'll share links to these other places once I get them sorted, it might take me a tad or until after moving out!)

One of my favourite months, Easter fun with eggs and chocolate. Games hosting fun events too! And my Birthday! C:

I have a bit of a backlog of pieces people have made for me that I should show off, so I think there'll be a good bit of Vivi shown around this month ;)

Commissions are now re-opened, and those wanting a slot can do so if they wish!

For those who currently have slots or haven't paid yet, due to grabbing a slot BEFORE the new prices are up, you'll be paying the OLD prices, but anyone coming in now for newer slots will be on the new prices. A divider will be shown within the queues on Trello.

10% return customer discount is still eligible for nearly everything (just not the 5pk or 10+1pk sticker deals).
There will be events in the future where deals will be available on the more general commissions, and I may even have some newbie offers to help bring new people in, will have to see ;)

Hope you're all having a fantastic day~
~Vivi

Comms are now closed until the End of February. Anyone who has an unpaid slot, you are safe and can still pay during this month for your commission. Those who haven't got a slot, well I'm afraid you're going to have to wait until March ^^;

That's right! I rarely do this, but, I have a LOT of slots currently taken, albeit only half paid for. I'm gonna close the request of slots through february as I work on comms and set up new prices for March.

Why am I doing this? If all goes well, late Feb/Early March I'll be moving out (thus needing the money), and I've been told a few times that either I'm surprisingly cheap or I should up my prices. (not by everyone mind you :P ). 10% discounts for return customers will still exist, and eventually there'll be events for new customers too, for those wanting to get stuff who haven't before.

It'll be great to open comms again with an almost empty queue, for people to hop in and get art very soon after ordering. Will feel as fresh as the new home, hopefully!

To those who have booked slots in the queue, payments will still use the current price set if you've yet paid. If anyone is interested but not got a slot yet, feel free to grab one before February! (though remember, max, 2 unpaid slots at any one time).

Oof, running a bit late, and so am I with my Art of 2022, will try and get that sorted soon.
I've had a lot going on so here's an update.

Left my old home to try and help save up some money in prep for moving in with my boyfriend soon, so currently living with parents. spent a long time packing and not going to unpack half of my stuff since I'll only end up packing it again in about 2 months time.
YCHs are coming along nicely, that should all be done soon I reckon. maybe another week or two. And then full focus back on the active commissions~

Of course, to Celebrate New Years, I did a 13 hour stream (with breaks so more like 11 hours), and made plenty of doodles that you'll see in the next week and a bit, interspersed with commissions albeit in the scraps section of my profile~

Anyway, here's to a wonderful new year for all of you, and I hope you continue to enjoy what I put out ^w^

Thank you to everyone who's gotten a slot and for those who have already paid c: Work has already begun as you can see from the gallery, and you'll be seeing your new stickers fit for winter soon~ c:

After the success of the last event, for Summer, I did think that once all was done and given, peeps didn't have too long to show off their summer-y stickers! So I thought I'd open this event right before Winter starts, so peeps can hopefully get the most out of 'em ^^

So for 2 weeks - 7th November to 21st November - you can ask for a slot for one or some of these stickers! And as long as you get the payment in BEFORE 4 weeks from now - 5th December, you'll be seeing your sona / character in some warm clothing or sipping a hot chocolate (or whatever you pick :P )

No bid, no limit on slots, just the TIME LIMIT.

Once 21st passes, slots are no longer available, however payments for slots taken are still fine for 2 weeks after. (I know some of you get monthly payments, not gonna lock you out of the chance :P )

I WILL try to get all done before Christmas if you are hoping to use these as a christmas present~ Though I suggest slotting (and paying) in earlier than later :P

These will be on a SEPARATE queue to the normal comms, and will be worked on ALONGSIDE the normal comm queue, that way pre-existing commissioners don't feel pushed aside and those wanting some time limited stickers can get them c:

More details on the art piece's description~

I've been thinking, and I want to upload more doodles that I do here and there to my scraps, just silly things I do in my own time, I know I'm technically running a business, but I want my art to be more personal too, and I want to share the silly things I make. There'll still be certain alts (like of ref sheets) in my scraps too, but you may see more generic and less lovely things go up in there here and there~

Also, there are plans in place for a new project coming up some time next month (I wanna say early next month but can't make any promises ^^; )

Thanks to all that bought Summer YCH stickers. Those with slots still on the queue that haven't paid still have until the end of the month to get payments in. Not taking any more slots however.
In the mean time those not yet done are being worked on so thank you for your patience, do keep an eye on the queues/trello to see updates ^^

Thank you for making my first shot at YCHs a successful one c:

<3

That's right! for 2 weeks only! you can buy a sticker based on the designs posted here! £5 each or buy a pack of 5 for £20! Any Species, any gender, complexities/additions still apply (e.g. let's say you wanted unfurled wings and a long tail in the swim ring anthro sticker, that may be an additional £1-2).

Contact me either through notes here or on Discord 'Aurix (Vivi)#6435' or on telegram '@viceyfox' if you wish to commission, payments through paypal invoices.

THIS IS NOT A BID.
THERE IS NOT A LIMIT ON SLOTS.
There IS a limit on time though!

I'll stop taking comm slots for this event after 2 weeks, aka, the 14th of July. (You can book a slot within these two weeks, but they must be paid at the latest the end of the month! )

These will be on a separate queue to the other commissions, these will be worked on ALONGSIDE the current commissions. (Progress can be seel via trello on front page)

more details on the art piece's description!

Something will be happening on the 1st of this upcoming month (July!), something I've not tried before but am willing to give it a shot!
Commissions are still of course going to be worked on, don't you worry~ ^w^

I feel confident in my art enough to up the prices.
I also feel worry in my lack of making my rent requirements to ALSO want to up my prices ^^;
Since this year began I've noticed a good speed up in how quickly I get commissions done, which I hope also helps with that and slows down my dwindling savings ^^;

I should also state that some prices may be going up a fair tad based on what I've found takes more time and whatnot.
10% off will still remain of course, and I may be making a new albeit slightly more expensive, alternative deal on stickers (looking at 10pk deals) gonna go over my thoughts first though. Just thought I'd say now though in case peeps are on the fence about getting a comm between now and April :P

I realise I posted an art piece to advertise that I currently am doing 10% off EVERYTHING including the 5pk stickers which already have a deal.
But I should probs post a journal too!
Returning customers can enjoy a stack of their 10% on top to a total of 20% off on nearly everything!

And anyone new who wants to enjoy the 10% off now, can do so, and then enjoy 10% off of everything but the sticker pack deal afterwards as a returning customer!
(Or, if you wanna be extra quick, can get something super cheap with the 10% off now, and then enjoy something bigger commissioning right after for 20% off before December comes ;) Aka like commissioning two pieces but having the more expensive thing second to enjoy the discount~)

Remember, discount ends as soon as December begins in the UK! that's 00:01 GMT December 1st!

Commissions are now open again!
Didn't get through as many in my queue as I'd have liked, but vaccine shot took it out of me for a few days, nevertheless, commissions are open again, along with my new price sheet.

For the rest of this month, I won't be accepting any more commissions as I get through some of my queue, as well as make my new price sheet for the 1st of July. That way when I open back up, the queue will be a little less daunting c:

Just a heads up, it's stated in price sheets too but thought I'd bring it up again anyhow~ During June my prices will be going up, and will be in place by the end of June. - There will be a new price sheet to show the details.
Will be discussing with others what they think my prices should be, and will be deciding how much the costs will go up. I certainly see backgrounds being a bigger change, but we will see.
The 10% returning customer reduction is still in effect and will be in the foreseeable future c:

Next year I'll be upping my prices, not by a large amount, we're looking at like, £5 increments for most things. I just need to up things as I'm not making enough for rent, and I feel my art has improved enough to warrant a small increase.
Could be another increase later in the year, (depending on my skills and rent), but I feel a small increase to start 2021 off will be good.

Now! Another thing I'll be adding, is a returning customer deal. For any customer who buys or has bought a commission from me, since I first uploaded my 2020 price sheet, (and onwards from then), will get a 10% reduction in most* commissions made after. This will come into place when my prices update early 2021 (which will be within the first month).

*Certain deals such as telegram stickers may not apply for 10% off due to already existing offers (My idea for this I'll tell you now, is upping from £5 to £6 each, or 5 for £25

A final side note/clarification: a returning customer isn't necessarily someone who purchases before the price update and after the original price list, it's just ANYONE who purchases after the initial price list. So if you are a new customer in middle 2021, and come back for a second commission later on, you will be eligible for the 10% c:

Hurrah! I'm finally back to doing commissions, properly this time with a price sheet too!
I guess I'll edit this journal when slots are getting too full for me, will probably say 4 slots but I may go above that, perhaps to 6 maximum, we'll see c:

---- Slot taken : Sadie Wolf (x2)

---- Slot taken: Glitch (x2)
