Thought I'd make a journal about this since a new character is about to drop! In general I'm always looking to find more people to play Smash or other Switch games with :3

I try to get groups together to play with at least once a week so if that sounds like fun to you and you'd like to play with us feel free to add me on the Switch and join my Discord server

My server: https://discordapp.com/invite/RjZcsUT

Friend Code: SW-1721-7474-7804

...Just reminds me to be thankful that Furaffinity is still around and going strong.

This definitely is a wake up call/reminder of sorts to never to put all of one's eggs into a single basket. Or rather an image gallery in this case.
I'm trying to maintain my twitter better these days just in case but I definitely still prefer things here.
Especially since who is to say twitter doesn't end up just doing what tumblr did at some point lol.

Regardless, here is my twitter for anyone who does like or prefer that platform:
https://twitter.com/AmythFloof

I will be uploading all work going forward unto there as well so long as I'm able to!
Might look into other galleries as well just in case. FA will always be my main squeeze barring anything too wild happening here.

So usually I just game with my girlfriend and a couple other buddies but recently I've felt like finding some more people for us to play with!
Plus, just kinda felt like tossing a new journal up, hehe.

Anyways! I'll list my IDs and games we play regularly as of late for anyone who feels like they might be interested in gaming a bit sometime~

Wii U: NNID is FireFloof
All about dat Smash Bros 4 and Mario Kart 8! Would love more people to play with on these games especially~

3DS: My friend code is 0104 - 1994 - 6674 feel free to list your friend code in the comments as well :3
Mostly play Pokemon Omega Ruby, would love to have some peeps to battle against using the OU tier or to potentially trade with.
I'm not against playing on Pokemon Showdown either for those who lack a 3DS :3

Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/amyth/
Mostly play Civilization V lately and would LOVE to find more people interested in this game! We occasionally play Left 4 Dead 2 and Dark Souls I/II and Starbound as well :3

Battlenet: Battletag is Amyth#1217
Mostly just play hearthstone and diablo 3 these days but may pick up WoW again at a later point. Don't really touch Starcraft II anymore.

Guild Wars 2: My name on here is simply Amyth so feel free to add me on up!
My server is Tarnished Coast and I play on the US servers.

So yeah, if anyone plays these games or would like to feel free to add me! Would be pretty awesome to find even just one more decent gaming buddy ^^

[EDIT] I put my info in this journal for a reason. If you want to add/play with me you add me, not the other way around. Only exception to this is the 3DS friend code. If I never added you, it's probably because you expected to me to add you.

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14995602/

Bid is still fairly low! I'll be helping her to make it look nice with tweaks and such as well so it will be a mini collab of sorts :3
Thanks for looking!

Decided to put one of these together for information purposes and since I haven't posted a new journal in quite some time. So here we go!

Commission related Questions:

How can I get in touch with you about a commission?
Via note here on FA or through my email amyth.art[at]gmail.com
FA notes are preferred.

What are your commission prices?
This is a question I get very, very often. I currently don't have any set, however.

Why is that?
I wouldn't know what to charge in all honesty. This is why I tend to go with auctions as that allows the individuals interested to decide what they think my art is worth in a fair environment.

Will this ever change?
Eventually I'd like it to! Once I get to a point where I can produce finished pieces consistently and in a more timely fashion I'll be a lot more motivated toward doing so. I tend to take my time currently, however, and try and make sure I do my best on what work I do decide to accept.

I've seen you've accepted commissions though despite this? How does that work?
I have! Anytime this has happened the client approached me with an idea and an offer relative to what my auctions go for.
If someone is willing to pay a price fair or equal to what my auctions go for then I'm definitely willing to consider working for them and this has happened a handful of times.

What are my rights as your client if I were to commission you?
That sort of information is available in my Terms of Service - https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....MwV1AWWyw/edit

What subject will you NOT draw?
Pretty much stuff that is listed in my NO section on https://www.f-list.net/c/amyth/
But for a quick summary: Incest, scat, cub, diapers, watersports, herms, cuntboys, rimming and M/M are no-goes. Anything else feel free to ask about.

Do you do trades?
Very rarely. Generally I'd prefer to just commission the person I'm interested in or if I wanna make something for them, just straight up draw gift art. No obligations, no disappointments.

How about collabs?
Depends! If someone asks me and I think our styles could look cool mixed together I'd definitely consider the possibility. I think it would be pretty neat to do paid collaborations especially. Paid work is always going to be more appealing.

Do you do color commissions? i.e. I give you line art and you color?
I'd highly consider it depending on the offer and if the original artist is okay with it! Could be a neat experience.


Other Art Related Stuff:

What program(s) do you use to create art?
I use Sai and Photoshop equally. Photoshop primarily is used for sketching and finishing touches, while sai is used for painting and rendering. It's a workflow that suits me quite well.

What tools do you use?
I own a cintiq 21ux, an intuos 5 medium, and a cintiq companion and use all of them. The one I tend to use most is my cintiq 21ux though since I've had it the longest and it's what I'm most used to at the moment.
I also use a Razer Nostromo keypad for keybinding all my brushes and most used shortcuts. This tool has honestly made a huge difference for me convenience wise and I highly recommend stuff like it for speeding up your art process. Normal keyboards work fine as well, however, just not quite as ergonomic.

Have you ever considered producing a tutorial?
I certainly have! Mostly in regards to coloring. There are plenty of great ones out there already though so it would probably end up being a for fun type deal if it were to happen.

Did you go to an art school?
I took a couple classes, but I didn't find them to be very beneficial. Art school in my opinion is largely a waste of time and money. There are great online resources out there readily available that can teach you anything an art school can.

Some great discussions about this topic can be found here

and here
https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/dont-go-.....l-138c5efd45e9

What have been some of your major influences as an artist?
Dragons of course! I pretty much have been obsessed them since I first saw one in the movie Dragonheart. Before that dinosaurs were my first true love. I'm inspired by nature and other various critters as well. Creatures have always been my main interest when it comes to subject matter and are definitely what inspire me most.
Stylistically, I've been influenced a lot by Magic the Gathering card art, animated films (western and easten), and many of my fellow artists. When I was younger I was really into super detailed works and high realism, but these days I find more stylistic and cinematic approaches much more appealing. I like to try and find a tasteful balance in my own work.


Other Stuff:

Can I use your character for RP purposes, or in a story of mine?
I'd really prefer you not to. It honestly feels very awkward to me when this sort of thing happens as Amyth is my representation and essentially an extension of myself. I highly recommend creating you own character and or species. It's much more fun and rewarding!

Do you accept gift art or commissions involving Amyth and another character?
Of course! It gives me all the warm fuzzies when I see stuff like this and it really means a lot to me. Totally makes my day when it happens! I only ask that if said gift art is explicit in nature that you ask me first before you go ahead with it unless you're a friend of mine and know I'd be okay with it.

As for commissioning another artist to draw my character with one of your's that's cool too. If this is something you might be interested in doing sometime, you can give me a poke about it. I may even be willing to split the cost with you :3

Do you use skype? Can I add you?
I do! And maybe. I'm generally pretty selective when it comes to who I add. Though don't let this deter you from sending me a note asking for it If you're genuinely interested in having a chat. I do make a habit of cleaning up my list once in a while so if you're someone who I don't really talk to I hope you understand. I don't much care for having contacts just for the sake of having contacts.

Any other questions you might have, feel free to ask!

http://www.f-list.net/c/amyth%20most/ http://www.f-list.net/c/hoot%20wren/

READ THE DESCRIPTIONS..... What kind of person even does this??? XD

"When he woke up, he saw a note she left which said: "I'm sorry Amyth, but after last night, I could not live with you any longer. I'll always remember you." To this day, he holds a picture of her, and the note. He's still searching for her"

*dies*

Credit goes to hoot for finding this.

[EDIT]: We got the profiles taken down! Screenshots here for anyone who is curious what was there:

Stolen from : D

WOOO.... been a while!
onto them questions...

1. Why did you join FurAffinity?
Because I hated deviant art and wanted to upload dragon porn when I turned 18. Lurked since I was like 13 though! Plus, the community here was pretty nice and welcoming for the most part and that always appealed to me.

2. What does your username have to do with you?
A lot. It has multiple layers of meaning. First, it's a throwback to my middle name which also begins with an "A" and is 5 letters long. When I first designed Amyth he was purple and the name Amyth could be short for amethyst. Amethyst is also one of the Pisces birth stones. I have a habit of making names out of words I like and given mythical creatures (especially dragons) are my favorite subject matter a name involving myth was a must!

Amyth is a dragon. Dragons are a myth. Therefore I am Amyth.

3. What is your current avatar of?
My dragon, Amyth!

4. How many watchers do you have, and how many do you watch?
6393 I love you guys so much <3333
I watch 481 usually just watch someone back if they watch me and they have some snazzy art. I never go out of my way to find people really.

5. Do you have more than one account?
Yes,  khalos ,  velieus and one from when I was 14.... WHICH I WILL NOT BE LINKING... I'd rather my old identity remain forever a secret lol.
My velieus account was banned because my ex knew the password and used it to ban evade. RIP in peace little account.......

6. Name 3 of your favorite artists on FA
Easy.

7. What artist do you admire because of their personality?
Probably Shinerai. Despite being so busy and popular they still take the time out to be friendly and reply to everyone. Something very rare in artists these days, unfortunately. I try and live up to their example as much as possible and it's one of the reasons I admire her so much.

8. Do you comment, fave, or both?
Almost never fave...... Comment? Very rarely. Most people don't reply so I don't feel like there is any point personally. I imagine a lot of people feel that way.

9. What do you typically post on FA?
DRAGON SMUT. That is my specialty... :')

10.What's your favorite submission in your gallery?
My featured one, of course.

11. What are the things you wish you could draw better?
Backgrounds....and Everything in general. I see room for improvement everywhere and am never quite happy with my current skill level.

12. How many hours a day do you spend on FA?
Very few.... people who don't follow me on twitter probably think I'm dead or something pretty often lol. I'm much more active there.

13. Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?
UMMMM.... Medium I'd say. I know some people that I run dungeons with in Guild Wars 2 who are typing and talking the whole time and I Just can't do that lol. They're fucking fast.

14. What is the most annoying thing people ask you?
Probably when people ask me if I'll do a commission. I have a rough time not feeling bad saying no constantly. Flattering as it is.

15. What is the most annoying/offending comment you've received?
Uhhh..... probably people just being abrasive and argumentative for the sake of being abrasive and argumentative.
I usually block them immediately.

16. What/who inspires you?
Pretty much everything good in life is inspiring. Books, music, people, other artists, animals, nature.... you know!

17. Everyone has considered leaving FA once or twice. Have you? Why?
I never thought of leaving but I have thought of starting over with a new identity. Mostly just to be more professional from the get go and not really get involved with people. I've made some enemies here and there with past relationships and such and would be happy to not have that baggage.

At the end of the day though, Amyth is pretty much it for me despite a few haters, haha. I just dislike conflict.

Hey guys!

Just updating with a quick journal to share an awesome program I discovered recently for Photoshop.
http://lazynezumi.com/home

One of the main reasons I'd find myself using Sai so much was the lack of having a pen stabilizer option in Photoshop. This program pretty much solves that one major issue and I figured maybe some of you guys would find it helpful as well~

I, for one, am pretty damn excited that something like this exists.

One left. 50% off the normal price so its a rather good deal.

Note me if interested~

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10970855/

Ends at 8pm PST tonight.
Just a courtesy announcement for anyone who might be interested!

So my brother got a couple new graphics cards recently and each one came with 4 game redemption codes:
Bioshock Infinite for Steam - 94 on metacritic
Tomb Raider for Steam - 86 on metacritic
Farcry 3 Blood Dragon for Ubishop - 80 on metacritic
and Crysis 3 Hunter Edition for Origin - 76 on metacritic

Dont really have time to give any of these games justice but they all got nice reviews and everything. Would anyone be interested in buying any of these games from me for 50% off?
I just send you the instructions and you redeem the code :) None of them have been used. Really simple.

Apparently there will be a little bit of a wait on the bioshock codes though, they seem to have run out! But if anyone is interested they can reserve them and I can give you the code as soon as I get it~

Come check it out! I've been having a blast with this game and really feel that it could use a lot more love! I don't normally promote things like this but I'm really having a lot of fun and would like to show it to others :)

Where's mah birthday sex?? ;D


nah jk, jk. Much <333 for any birthday wishes.
I'm officially 22 now! Feels kind of oldddd
Though I think I'm in good company <3

lets be friends <3
https://twitter.com/FireFloof

(unless you're a drama-mongerer *coughs*)

Looking to mix up what I've been listening to and I think that asking my watchers to link me a song they love and enjoy is a fun way to do so!
Of course, you can link me more than one song if you have several you'd love to share. I don't mind ^^

BUT YEAH... craving some new stuff so show me whatchu got. ;D Maybe others will find some of the suggestions interesting as well!

Hardest thing you'll ever do.

I've gotten a good deal of interest in both of these two subjects from people asking about commissions.
I want to offer one soon but I'm having a tough time deciding.

Any opinions? What would you like to see offered first?


Also, my apologies for vanishing lately... Most my time has been spent learning 3D modeling and animation and 2D art has been on the back burner this past month. Plus, I kinda sorta got stabbed in the back pretty hard recently so my faith in humanity has plummeted to an all time low along with my interest to interact with people. I've been fucked over so many times and there are so many haters I just feel... Overwhelmed really.

I'm one of the nicest people there is, yet I keep finding myself being made into an enemy by various people who end up getting close to me and it breaks my heart. Losing the one person who you thought would always be there is kinda the breaking point though.

But you know, I shouldn't let one person affect me so... especially when they have quite the history of being a douchebag to people for no reason. But I overlooked that so eagerly because of how nice they were to ME and all the secrets we'd share. All the talk of being friends forever and never being able to get rid of each other. Still hurts though.
Hurts a lot.

"Don't pick up a snake and expect not to get bitten"

I know I'll be better in the end for having them out of my life. But damn, right now I just have the overwhelming desire to hole myself up alone somewhere and lick my wounds so to speak. I need time to reflect.

I wish I could start over.

Mine was hands down Xenomorphs from the movies Alien/Aliens.
In fact, the first time I got a 1st place ribbon in a school art contest was from a drawing I did of one!

A close second for me would have to be Tyrannosaurus Rexes. Fucking hell.. so much love for them.

Basically, my childhood consisted of Aliens and Jurassic Park. I had zero interest in guns or cars, was just totally obsessed with those critters. I didn't actually start drawing dragons until I was like.. 12. But since then dragons have been my "thing" for sure.


What about you guys?? What was your muse as a kid?

Just a public service announcement in regards to my recent character auction. Only 4 hours left until it ends! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9128282/

Highest bid is $120 currently by  xetsa so reply to her comment on the submission if you wish to bid so she'll be notified!

I don't do these very often and I'm not sure when my next one will be, so if you wanted a character designed by me this is your chance! I don't pump these out as simple recolors. Lots of thought goes into my designs and I try and make them as nice as possible.

Once again, the auction is located here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9128282/

Thanks to anyone who has looked or commented! :)

Thanks to  alkora I now have an account on Weasyl :)
https://www.weasyl.com/profile/amyth

FOLLOW ME SUCKAS... if you want c; I'll be fixing it all up soon!
If I follow you on here I'll definitely return the favor if you watch me there! Certainly saves me the trouble of finding people.


Just...
Oh man... too stoked. Can't wait to make a banner and organize THINGS. Maybe even upload some old art that isn't available here and such

Been looking forward to this site for some time now but I missed my chance to donate and thus, getting access to the beta. D:
If anyone has an invite I'd be eternally grateful to have one! Really want in on this and to support that site as an artist.


Also, sorry for the lack of activity from meeee... Been so busy the past few months but I'm still alive and kickin'! :)

Was having this discussion with my girl today about this. She is also an artist so it's very interesting to us!
She's left-handed and I'm a righty :)


SO.. of what handedness are you guys?? Of course, you don't have to be an artist to answer this, it's just more interesting to me that way.
I'm rather curious!

Looking for more gaming buddies!
Anyone wanna adopt a red floofy dragon for your adventures through hell? ;_;
