The future is here! Apparently. Around this time last year I was looking for fursuit makers- I did find some makers to put in bookmarks to check when they are open again, but goodness there’s a lot to consider. That and quarantine being the case, I felt maybe it’s a good opportunity to delve into the world of, well, virtuality. This Nuki News I’ll be talking about my initial forray into t...

Wooops! More smooshing!
The actual 'woops' though- on Nuki News #60, I made an error in my caption by saying that one was from my July commission batch- it was actually from my June batch, as I hadn't even opened for July commissions until the 10th. But this one we have here is indeed from the batch I got in July, this month. :)
I was very ecstatic to have more belly bumpin...

Quite a bit has happened in the last 3 months since the last progress update. I’m fully vaccinated now, and just got through a historically awful heat wave hitting the northwest. I’ve been playing Ring Fit, and got past 110 days of workouts since late February!...

We live in a great time. Troubled, but a great one. Back in 2012, I remember saying to my mom “Boredom has been cured!” Because with the internet, there’s nothing out of reach for you to learn about and take interest in.
Doesn’t mean you’ll NEVER get bored, of course. But I’m sure people are less bored compared to before the internet really exploded(I know I definitely am). A ...

(Forgive the use of a random screenshot from BoJack Horseman- was a bit too pressed for time this week, but I chose it on purpose! Won't make a habit of that.)
It’s no surprise or newfound discovery that creatives often can be seen disliking their own work. This Nuki News isn’t going to be me talking about that. I want to talk about more objective matters with weaknesses in d...

The sequel!! People seem to be responding well to my commission sketches- I realize I don't get ot upload the finished works until a month later due to my buffering system with uploads, so why not share more sketches of up-coming smuushy art yeah?
With that in mind, more belly to belly smushing and belly bumpings! My favorite!

The 2nd ever NukiNews went over some rudimentary drawing exercises, the goal of which at the time was to get accustomed to drawing on this laptop I use for Patreon stuff(that doubles as a drawing tablet when flipped).

Yeah, wow, hard to think it’s April already, a week into it too! I wasn’t so sure if I’d continue to do quarterly reviews for my progress after last year, but I’m still in the learning stages of doing this art business stuff and I think it’ll help others down the line. Plus, giving myself the opportunity to look back at how I’m doing should help keep me in perspective- and little ce...

Hands!! The artists’ great foe. At times, when I get tunneled into drawing for others, eventually I start seeing patterns or flaws in my work, areas to improve on. This is natural and a good thing for any artist to start seeing these weak spots. Initially, it was just structure in my drawings I wasn’t as happy with. But up came this video by Marco Bucci, on hands!

I had a vision last night, that may seem pretty arbitrary to explain to all but maybe 3~4 of you following me here on Patreon.
Back in the day, my first 'persona' to represent myself online was a Pikachu. The vision was of an old sort of ‘future-past’ character of my then-pikachu persona, whom I called Hex. The scenario in my head, I imagined them meeting Benji, my current raichu-sona...

The nearly year-long quarantine has left me feeling a bit empty at times- after working on my freelance art and chores during the day, afterward I feel the desire to do something creative and fun, but nothing catches my interest consistently.

I had a surprisingly good month to kick off 2021- I made more than I expected! If I got to talk to myself from a year ago, when I’d just broken a record of money made from my art, he’d be so proud. At that time(pre-pandemic) I’d quickly realized how much I’d actually need to make a living, intimidated by how much I would have to do. But a year later, I did it. I made it happen. Of cours...

Heck, even if I decided to stay, during that time it was difficult to even just stay focused and not have my mind racing on the clock. I needed a way to calm and refocus myself.
