Happy August!
Posted a month agoHopefully you guys had good time during the Summer season so far.
Today is quite a multiple things to celebrate and few milestones on my side.
As we all know, today is Bowser Day and social media is usually going wild with Bowser fanarts, will see what kind of arts there will be today.
But also at the same time, I got few milestones achieved.
16 years ago on this date, I created Furaffinity account and started my journey in furry fandom as a lion named Jake.
Even if my progress with new art has been bit sluggish comparing to my first couple of years on FA and I'm feeling little bit embarrassed about that... I'm still doing my best to get time to do some new pics.
Latest couple of pics I posted here, I was able to find an art tutorial Youtube channel and while watching those, I decided to use couple of the arts I did by following the tutorial as a background art and I personally liked those a lot. There's one pic of similar way coming up at some point as unfortunately my plan to get it done by today failed slightly ^//^
But it's been really good practice to reintroduce my other OCs and give them some spotlight too, after drawing Jake for the most of the time.
Plus 2 years ago on this date, I created Bluesky account (with invitation code I got from
hornetv2 during Bluesky's Invitation only phase) as a soft launch of eventual departure from certain bird site and as on New Years Day 2024, I have been there most of the time ever since and I haven't regret that decision at all.
On July 3rd, 2023 I also made Mastodon account for the same reason as with the eventual Bluesky account.
I'm trying my best to keep it as updated as possible too, maybe trying to figure out more on what to post in there. (Maybe I should use Openvibe app for that more or something~)
Summer has been quite good for me so far. Obviously, Pokemon Go has kept me REALLY busy as there hasn´t been so much break on with different in-game events, though got my Pokemon shiny collection for the national shiny dex lots of additions with that.
Otherwise, I've been enjoying the Summer (with it's heat and occasional storms, there wasn´t that many rainy or thunderstormy days this Summer on my side x3), trying to find a job and going to the gym 3 times a week while trying to get some kind of routine for my life. Maybe I should try to go swimming in the lake and get my "Winter coat" off, before the Summer ends and lakes are getting gradually freezing cold x3
But for now, that's all the random rambling from me for this journal.
I'm really sorry for slow art posts and journal updates here, I try my best to get that creative boost back in me somehow ^^
I'll see you on the next journal post, everybody!
Your friendly lion,
Jake

Another year has passed~
Posted 5 months agoNow that April Fools day has passed, it's time for this lion's level up day.
And even right on day of Nintendo Switch 2 direct even ^^
There's not much plans to celebrate the beginning of my last year of 30's as next year is the big 40 coming up.
I hope you all are having great day ahead as well ^^

The End of 2024 Is Upon Us!
Posted 8 months agoAs year 2024 is on it´s dawning era and many of us are already or is getting ready to celebrate the new year, I have to say that this past year on my side was bit hectic to keeping up with posting and making new art..
From the New Years to all the way to the August, my main focus was on getting an trainee period place for ICT studies and after graduation, been working hard to find a work or at least do some selfstudying for coding, also doing my best to keep myself active at the gym and socially online.
But I should improve myself to take some time for myself and just focus on what I like to do, wheter is it drawing new art, working out at the gym or just taking break from being hyperly social.
Progress with gym has been quite good too weight loss wise as from January 2024´s 121,9 kilograms to 30th of December, 2024´s 114,7 kilograms.
Definitely I shall keep going to the gym during 2025 as well.
Lately I was thinking about how to cross-post stuff between Bluesky and Mastodon, but will see if I´ll find good solution for that eventually..
Anyways, this journal might become more of rambling, so I hope that you guys are having a great end of 2024 and fresh start of the upcoming year 2025!
See you all in the year 2025!

Jake

Little bit of life update
Posted 12 months agoIt´s been little while for my previous journal post in FA, I guess I´m still trying to adapt myself back to life after vocational school and graduating as a IT Support Specialist while trying to find my next destination: between finding a career in this profession or getting more educated in the IT industry possibly as an programmer or something...who knows, will see how things will go. I definitely want to leave options open career wise.
This year has been going so quickly, as it´s only about 3 months before this year ends.
I know I haven´t been able to draw a lot than I have previous years and I try my best to get some art done, there´s many ideas coming up, but somehow I need some boost to actually working on arts again. Hopefully I get that boost eventually ^^
Also I should try to post on Mastodon more frequently as well, even though I have been more active in Bluesky, hopefully I can change that somehow as well x3
Lately I started to see some good progress with my gym workouts after I started my gym workouts after New Years bit over 8-9 months ago. And mostly I can see that from my legs getting thicker and my arms is showing a bit different (it´s bit difficult to explain without showing, so I got a posts about that on my Bluesky and Mastodon accounts, that you can check out if you want) and my weight has dropped down from 124,6 kg (about 274,7 lbs) in January 2024 to my current weight of 112,9 kg (248,9 lbs).
There has been ups and downs with my weight sure and I do have a bit of gut left, but I know this isn´t gonna change overnight and if I keep myself active, then who knows, maybe that gut will turn into more toned over time.
But.. I think that´s pretty much all I could think of for this journal right now.
I´m trying my best to get back with drawing and talking with people in some of the messaging platforms more while thinking of what would be the next step of the IRL life. Also huge thanks to all new watchers and faves that you guys have been giving ^_^
So I´ll see you on my next journal! Stay safe everyone!

Bowser Day is upon us once again..
Posted a year agoand there´s also another anniversary landed on the same day as well.
Firstly, Happy Bowser (Or King Koopa) Day to everyone!
Maybe I should give a try to draw something for that at some point, it´s been really hectic and tiring times to focus on drawing while doing best to get done with the internship period. As my internship ended two days ago, I might have a chance to take a well deserved break and get some arting again sooner than later..
And as I mentioned at the beginning of this journal, there´s another anniversary that happens to be at this same day as Bowser Day...
which is 15th anniversary of creating my FA account, created certain lion as my alter ego and took a deep dive into furry fandom for the first time.
Jake has changed his appearance quite a lot past 15 years and I still feel like I should work more on his characteristics a bit (in arts and while I fursuit as Jake).
Mostly Jake represents the aspects that I am IRL: Kind, helpful, bit introverted.. but if he gets a chance to hangout with people and friends, he still enjoys for the company.. but his appearance differs from my IRL self as I´m not that buff like Jake is or have a tattoo on my arm (but maybe one day that could change).
Along these past 15 years, Jake got a company of Harvey (Tiger), Jager (GShep) and Ragnar (Otter) and I try to figure out on how they could interact with Jake.
But it could take some time to think, so I don´t feel any pressure to decide these things right away~
*chuckles and grins as he raises the glass for a toast*
To the Bowser Day 2024 and most importantly, to the beginning of 15th year in the furry fandom!
May the future hold lots of great adventures and wonderful new encounters!
Catch you guys later!

40´s are getting closer and closer with year by year x3

Bluesky Reminder~
Posted a year agoNow that Bluesky opened up for joining without need for invite code, will see how things will go ^^
But I want to remind you guys that you can find me on the platform.
I´m quite active there now as I have left the "Muskarenland" over a month ago and didn´t regret the decision.

What a year 2023 has been~
Posted a year agoIt was really busy one for sure, I admit that.
Getting back to the vocational school to study as ICT Techincian took my focus for most of the year, but now as I try my best to get last school subject done and in the Spring 2024 (hopefully) I´ll do my trainee period, I could be graduating at the end of May 2024.
But I´ll see how the upcoming Springtime will go along and not stress for that too much ^^
I´m really looking forward for the brand new year with open mind ^^
I hope that you guys will have a great and safe New year celebration tonight (or beginning of 2024, if you already are in the January 1st ^^), catch you up on a brand new year ^^
Your friendly lion,
Jake

Happy Holidays everyone!
Posted a year agoI hope that you´re all doing well and also have great time with your friends and loved ones ^^
It´s been quite a long time from my previous FA journal as we are on our final week of 2023 already o.o
The school has been on main focus for the most of the fall semester and right now, I´m trying my best to get a workplace for the school´s trainee period upcoming Spring semester and that way getting the graduation out of the way too.
That´s why I have been really silent on FA, in chatting wise and also art wise~ I really needed to put some stuff in importance order.
There´s been some changes in my social media accounts since my previous journal.
Firstly, after over 14 years of being on Twitter and watching how bad it has become after certain Muskaren´s takeover, I´ll be jumping into the Bluesky and Mastodon more and close my Twitter account at January 1st, 2024.
I got really tired of all the "cryptobro" ads and all the bots that are on lose, which are really unblockable (once you block one, there´s multiple more coming afterwards).
Secondly, I dropped out from Instagram on November, because the start of "pay us 12,99 euros monthly(+ 9,99 euros, if you use our service on your computer as well) or you´ll be pledged with ads" came into Europe and I really can´t afford to pay for ad-free version.
So right now and even more starting on January 1st, 2024 , you´ll be able to find me from following sites (if you haven´t already followed):
Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jakelioner83.bsky.social
Mastodon: https://furries.club/@jake_lioner83
Anyways, time to just relax and enjoy for the last week of the 2023!
See you all on next journal ^^

August 2023 update!
Posted 2 years agoAnd the Summer holiday went by and on my side, it´s already second week of the new school semester going on, with some school assignments working on and learning new stuff.
The remaining holidays went quite a lot of relaxing time and got chances to hang out with great people as well.
Otherwise, I´m sorry for lacking any new art updates from me.
Having a bit of struggle to get any drawing done alongside with school, but still I´m hopeful for getting some art done too
Last month, I informed that I got Mastodon account and during Bowser Day/ my Furry anniversary, I managed to get myself into Bluesky, thanks to hornetv2 for helping me out with getting invite code.
Now there isn´t that much content yet, but I´m hopeful to get something there (as well as in Mastodon) .
Currently Twitter (currently X, but I refer it as Twitter still x3) is kinda my place, but still if it starts to go even more downhill, then at least I got couple of place where I can keep doing updates.
Also I got some phone issues with Bluesky app as it keeps crashing everytime I try to open and no uninstalling and reinstalling helps me to solve that, that also explains why I don´t have a lot of posts there yet.
Anyways, if you wanna find me on Bluesky, you can find me:

July is on it´s way!
Posted 2 years agoHey there guys,
I hope you´re doing alright and had a great Pride Month celebrations last month ^^
Since my previous journal, I have been once again a bit busy with school stuff and we got a bit early start with Summerbreak at the end of May.
Summer has been going quite well overall, had plenty of time to relax in between some school´s Summer courses.
Lately it seems like we got raining season here in Finland, I think it´s already 4th day in a row that it´s been raining one way or the other. Hopefully the rest of the Summer won´t be as rainy as it is now..
Drawing has been in a pretty much on a break too, but... I hope I can work on a better routine so I can do as much as I can and what I want, especially when I´ll be back at school and eventually back to the work life again.
Last Saturday I managed to get myself tickets to my local anime and roleplaying con, Tracon 2023.
I would have been roaming around the outdoor areas of the Tampere Hall during the con weekend and outdoor suiting as the fluffy lion as always...
But this time, I got ticket for Saturday´s con day to at least roam around the inside con space and also for the first time ever, I also got ticket for con´s Saturday night party.
So I´m looking forward for this year´s Tracon as it´s my currently last convention of 2023 (unless plans changes and there´s a con to add on the list).
Also as you all know, Twitter has been going upside down and inside out a lot lately, so I wanted to let you guys know...
that I got Mastodon account as a little backup, if (more likely when) the Twitterland gets way over the top.
So if you want to follow me on Mastodon, you can find me at:
@jake_lioner83@furries.club
Page is a bit on beginner stage atm, but I try to learn how to use it more effctive way and start posting there more ^^
So here´s my little rumbling for now, I really wanted to give some sign that I´m still alive, just been doing stuff outside of the FA.
See ya all again soon!
Your friendly lion,
Jake

What´s been up to?
Posted 2 years agoHey there, guys!
I hope you´re doing well and had great start on 2023 ^^
This lion has been swept away with all the busy times since I started vocational school and studying in Information and Communication Technologies (ITC), so that´s I have been a bit slow with getting new pics uploaded on FA and drawing for new arts ^//^
Hopefully I´m able to get some time to relax and get more art done, as I kinda need to get some steam out from fast-phased studies.
Last week was also the first con of 2023, Tampere Kuplii.
I was fursuiting on Saturday and had alot of fun roaming around the convention center, also I was able to catch up with some old friends too ^^
And on Sunday, I made a just quick visit to check out the Dealers Den (Or in this case, The Comic Market) as there was as not many people on that day.
And at the end of this week (2nd of April), this lion gets the another level up (aka it´ll be my 37th birthday). Gosh how the 40´s are getting closer each year~
I´m not sure how to celebrate it yet, but I´m sure that there´s something fun to do on special day.
That´s all that has been and is coming up soon in this lion´s life ^^
Let´s have great end of March and start of April, hopefully Spring will appear soon x3
Your friendly lion,
Jake

We´re near the halfway of the December
Posted 3 years agoWelp, last month was bit busy one again x3
So in the end, my work at my hometown´s cleaning service came to an end at 13th of November and surely I have to say, that even if it was quite stressful and hectic times working there... I guess that was better than nothing still.
But surely I was feeling like that won´t be my "Until I get retired"-type of career in the end and my home got little bit little with care on cleaning part while I was working as a cleaner ^//^
And I really needed some break from the cleaning job still.
Also I got good news from last month too, as I got an acceptance letter from school where I applied this Spring 2022 (originally I was gonna apply for the Fall semester, which started in August but it was unfortunately full, so now I got to start on Spring semester start) and the school will start on 9th of January.
After that, for next 2,5 year, I shall graduate for ITC career, mainly as a IT Support.
But on the other side of the good news, the con plans will change a bit as during the school time I´m not fully able to do abroad travel, so cons like NFC and BLFC etc will be on hold until graduation and possibly for getting a suitable work first ^^
I was originally going to NFC 2023 as I rolled over my registration from 2022´s cancelled con to the upcoming con, but now as I got accepted to school, I have to get to transferred to someone else before Christmas Eve. Keeping my fingers crossed for finding a person who want to get my slot for the NFC 2023.
Otherwise my con plans will be mostly on Finland based ones, such as familiar local cons Tampere Kuplii Comic Festival and Tracon.. Although we´ll see if I´m able to get something else too for 2023, not gonna promise anything, but will see ^^
Drawings are coming along really slow and as I get some boost to work on, but it might get bit slow again when I start school. Still, I´m doing my best to get work on with more art.
But anyways, I hope your December is coming along well and you have some snow to give some shine on the short daylight period.
I´ll catch you up with the next journal!

So in the end, my work at my hometown´s cleaning service came to an end at 13th of November and surely I have to say, that even if it was quite stressful and hectic times working there... I guess that was better than nothing still.
But surely I was feeling like that won´t be my "Until I get retired"-type of career in the end and my home got little bit little with care on cleaning part while I was working as a cleaner ^//^
And I really needed some break from the cleaning job still.
Also I got good news from last month too, as I got an acceptance letter from school where I applied this Spring 2022 (originally I was gonna apply for the Fall semester, which started in August but it was unfortunately full, so now I got to start on Spring semester start) and the school will start on 9th of January.
After that, for next 2,5 year, I shall graduate for ITC career, mainly as a IT Support.

Long Time No See, Guys!
Posted 3 years agoOh gosh, I can´t believe that my last journal update as back in May...
So much has been happening btween that time until today, as my days has been really hectic anfd tiredsome because of going back to do job gigs at my home town´s cleaning service.
Between worktimes I had, I tried my best to relax and take care of myself too, hopefully I´m able to draw more arts again.
Specially as I´m starting to get some time to just be chill and really be able to draw something without being super tired from work
So far, I have 2 requests that has been on a hiatus: 2 character pic for
lordferalina12 and also Pride themed pic for 
kyle203 and I know these will take a quite along time to figure out how to get these done (I haven´t got so much done on Lord Feralina´s pic and I missed my opportunity to draw the Pride themed pic when the Pride Month was and I´m hugely embarrassed for that)...
So in a meanwhile I have been trying to get my arting boost back on drawing something else whenever I got the drawing boost going on..
Tracon 2022 was really fun and I´m really glad to see again some people there.
Can´t wait to see how the con year 2023 will become and also how the next year in general will build up.
Gaming wise, I have been trying my best to get back with some games like Pokemon and Splatoon 3.
As it´s almost about time to get ready for new generation of Pokemon, there is a lot of playing the Scarlet and Violet games, I pre-ordered myself a dual pack and I might make Scarlet as my main game for different online tournaments and battling. Violet could be my second playthrough game with helping my Paldean Pokedex getting completed, but will see.
Also, I´m still working on with the breeding and training projects on Sword and Shining Pearl, plus the shiny hunting on Legends: Arceus.
Starting from Sword, I decided to start working on with battle ready teams and hopefully test those out in their respected games (usually I don´t build teams with Smogon´s rules in mind, as I do train Pokemon under the official rules, without any legendaries or mythical Pokemon as those would be super hard to get as competitive with best stats possible... But will see if I should start learning the Smogon meta and rules too).
During past weeks, I got an idea to start organizing shiny Pokemon into Pokemon HOME as a shiny national dex collection. Of course, it won´t be 100% complete as the regular one now is until new Paldean pokemons are available next month, but there will be some shiny legendaries and mythical Pokemon that I have unfortunately missed out past years and hopefully one day I´m able to get those into my collection.
I think this much I can tell about what has been going on with my life for past several months and keep you guys updated, hopefully next one will be on time next month.
Hopefully you all are staying awesome and healthy, catch up ya´ll again soon!

Catching up with journals
Posted 3 years agoHey there,
I´m sorry for being so silent and slow with updating my FA page for some while ^//^
Life´s been somewhat busy in general and I got one request and one gift on works (hopefully I´m able to get those done eventually).
April was my 36th birthday, huge thanks to everyone for birthday wishes and all the gifts ^^
On May, I started another work as a janitor at local school and it will be lasting until 23rd of June (just in time for Midsummer Eve).
I also applied for school which starts at this August and just yesterday I got pre-assignment to do for the school.
Once I´m done with that and got video call interview afterwards, I might be able to start studying for IT-Support Person (if I´m lucky to be chosen based on pre-assignment and the interview).
So yeah, basically this lion has been bit busy lately, but he´s doing fine ^^
See ya all in next journal!

January/February 2022
Posted 3 years agoThe beginning of the new year has going so far well and I have been able to have some art done too.
I wanna give my overall huge thanks to all of the faves for my new and old arts (plus those wonderful pics made by others, if you haven´t already.. you definitely should go check out the original artists work) plus for all the new watchers, all of you are appreciated ^^
Right now, I´m in a bit of working progress with getting my daily routines back to work and get some for myself too, it´s good time to get back with workouts and once the weather gets warmer, long walks outside.
Also I have been really focused with playing Pokemon Legends: Arceus, just finished the main story of the game and I have say... that I really enjoyed the game alot.
Legends: Arceus has been like a huge breeze of fresh air for the series and I really hope that many of the mechanics of this game would be added into gen 9 onwards, also now or never it´s time for proper voice acting plus anime cries for all the pokemons (Legends:Arceus took one step backwards with going back with original cries of Pikachu and Eevee after couple of gens with their anime cries).
As most of you already know, NordicFuzzCon got cancelled this year. But I´m looking forward to go to Malmö for fun convention times in 2023.
So there might not be so much of convention adventures this year as the global situation lives almost every day, but hopefully things will get better soon.
Hopefully everyone is doing alright and keep on being safe ^^

The End of 2021
Posted 3 years agoHey there, everyone!
As the year 2021 is almost finished, I think it will be time to take a throwback for my 2021 plans/promises I made and how well I managed to get those done.
2021 plans/promises:
1. Start monthly money saving
2. Keep an Thankfulness journal
3. Be more active physically (even when you have job)
4. Take some time off for yourself without electronics
5. Learn how to cook cheap yet nutricious meals
6. Work on your sleeping schedule and weight loss
7. Read some unfinished books
8. Attempt to do something new daily or at least once in awhile
The results:
Overall all the plans got somewhat good start, but in the end, I wasn´t 100% get those done one reason or the another.
At least, sleeping schedule has been starting to be a bit better shape, also even my weight has been going on yo-yo mode most of the year, it´s still coming along nice progress.
I still need to get some off-screen time so I could get some focus on calming my "hamster-speed rushing" brains from multitasking and so on, also make some progress with reading lot of books I got.
(I still have for example Out of Position book series not yet finished after all these years *lion is really ashamed*)
Thankfulness journaling and money saving got a good start also at first, but sadly along the year, those got on hold at least for now.
For start of 2022, I´m gonna give a try for Bullet Journal method, if that would help me out with getting me back with journaling more and write down all the "brain dump" I got on my mind ect.
As for something new plan for the 2022, is that I´m gonna start learning for basics of coding.
Reason for that, is the course mates of the job hunting course noticed that I got quite good computer skills so they suggested that I should give a try with IT career.
And I decided that I would at least give a try for it as I´m currently between jobs (aka unemployed) and been wondering for new possibilities for career/learning some new skills.
Also I know that 2021 was really not significant for art wise and otherwise keeping up with communication with everyone, but I´m hoping to get my art and communication mojo back for 2022.
The con and other aboard adventures might get bit short (because what´s going on globally and also moneywise), but I´m still seeing options what to do. Specially with upcoming NordicFuzzCon 2022 trip in February, I´m gonna get my booster shot on Valentine´s Day so that will be taken care of before the trip, but still there´s so much to make the trip to be cancelled.
So.. Will see, that´s all I can say about that~
With this journal, I want to end with giving you all my warm thanks for all the faves/watches here on FA and all the kind comments ^^
Remember to check out the original artists for all the gift arts and give them all the support they deserve as well ^^
Huge thanks to all the close people for your support and I hope that everyone will have a great start with the upcoming new year.
Happy New Year, everyone!
See you all in 2022!!

December 2021 journal
Posted 4 years agoHey there,
gosh it´s been a while from my last FA update.
The life has been quite hectic once again and that messed up my mojo for drawing and getting some new work done, I´m hugely embarrassed about for all the absence ^//^
But yeah, last month I was in a course where you got chance to update your job hunting skills and it got also theme weeks, such as digital week with getting tips with improving all the digital skills and got chance to check out some of the Google apps and Finnish language+Math week, where you get improve your math and writing skills.
These past 4 weeks in course got me wonder if I got what it takes to do some programming stuff, so I´m doing some research and give a try for that.. Maybe even go study that as well, if all goes well or something else as currently I try to get some other kind of career.
The programming/IT (Information Technology) career was highly suggested by my classmates of the course as they were impressed for all the computer skills I got, plus also the idea for graphic designer got back on my mind during the course for same reason.
But still, I´m taking some time to think about options and doing research about those career options, so hopefully it will be more easier with making the final decision to go for it.
Otherwise, this month will be bit peaceful as upcoming Holidays I´m going to spend with karmakat, who´s coming to visit in Finland.
It´s been awhile from our previous hangout and I´m definitely looking forward to great relaxing times with my bro ^^
Also I try my best to get some art done before I get the "holiday hiatus" with art, but if I´m able to get some ideas during the holidays, I do my best to get it drawn on paper.
As for 2022, I´m going to do at least one convention trip whole year and it will be NordicFuzzCon 2022 in Malmö, Sweden.
For other cons and events, I´m not 100% sure because of the current situation with pandemic and possible school plans (if this will happen next year or not).
And don´t worry, guys. Already booked my booster shot time and I luckily managed to schedule it before NFC trip.
So next journal updates I´m planning to do on Christmas Eve (for hornetv2´s and my anniversary) and on New Years (with Throwback 2021 themed journal and also making some New Year solutions for 2022), look forward those ^^
Take it easy during this Christmas rush time and stay safe everyone!

October 2021 Ramblings
Posted 4 years agoHappy spooky month, everyone ^^
Another month has come and autumn season is on it´s fullest as I watch leaves on the trees getting color coated with many pretty colors.
Last month´s Nordic Fur Float cruise was really awesome and I had lots of fun there, it was also great to get my fursuit some fresh air too, even if it was just for one night for group photo session and mini fursuit parade around the boat.
This cruise was also first "big event" since the Covid happened, so let´s hope there´s more coming up ^^
Before the cruise, I managed to get my second shot, so right now I´m fully vaccinated and there weren´t any major issues after shot and same happened with my first shot Summertime ^^
I´m slowly getting some boost with making more arts and I´m hugely happy for all the new watchers and nice comments from all of you, definitely I know that I´m still working more for improve my arts (and art flow) even more to share creations with you.
Also I´m once again started doing bit more workouts as I managed to get Fitness Boxing 2 game for Switch to give some variety for daily workouts.
Impressions for the game has been quite good, even though I would rather try to find some alternative routines for warm up and cool off as right now the ones in the game seem to be exact same routines (maybe if you do different kind of workouts, the cool off routine also changes, but atm those are no different).
The Ring Fit Adventure workouts are also back up again, even though I start to get bit annoying to see all those tutorials so frequently (I´m talking about daily or 2-3 days from previous session, plus Ab Guard tutorial everytime after doing workout move on the floor and you haven´t used smoothie for guaranteed rush move or extra turn).
But enough about me rambling, I hope that you all are doing well on your side ^^
Let´s enjoy for autumn season and upcoming Halloween, while being safe of course ^^

Jake

Breaking the silence~
Posted 4 years agoHey there everyone,
it´s been quite a while, I apologize for being absent with new art and somewhat social way for some while.
Things has been quite a hectic during summertime and as Fall starts, I´m looking forward for new stuff to happen such as possibly going back to school for getting new vocation or maybe something else from work aspect. But I know that this will take some time to figure out, so I really try to not overstress about this stuff ^//^
Also that I´m able to get back with drawing more frequently, starting with sketches I just posted here on FA.
Life updates otherwise: on Monday 13th, I finally managed to get my 2nd vaccine and timing wouldn´t be better as upcoming weekend 17th-19th, I´ll be going for Nordic FurFloat 2021 cruise (after one year skip).
So looking forward for fun times again ^^
But for now, I just wanted to break the silence here and somehow tell you all that I´m still alive and doing alright.
See you all again soon and stay safe!

Jake

Happy Pride month, everyone!
Posted 4 years agoHey there,
it´s that time of the year once again and hopefully you all are having great Pride month so far ^^
On my side, I have been doing alright and enjoyed for the warm Summer days outside. It´s so wonderful to have Summer here once again!
I missed alot for spending time outside and doing long walks (Already did like 5 times a long 13 kilometer walks during past 5 weeks)
Yesterday I managed to make a "little" surprise pic, which has been on works for couple of months which you can check out here.
Arting has been quite slow phased (specially during summertime) but I try my best to get myself working more pics.
The Ring Fit Adventure workout has been quite successful for me, with many ups and downs of course.
But since 1st of March, 2021 with starting weight 117,5 kilograms, I got down to 112,5 kilograms on 4th of June, 2021.
I definitely got bit slimmer during this journey and I definitely won´t stop as I can see that this works really well and I´m hoping to get back to less than 100 kilogram weight soon ^^
(I did that already once couple of years ago, so I know I´m able to do that once again if I keep myself active)
Altough, there´s one thing I haven´t changed yet for the weigh loss stuff, is the diet..which I definitely need to work on once I´m having better financial status to do it and also I wanna learn to cook more healthy foods. But this will take some time, so it´s my long term goal to do.
Another thing I´ve been getting back to, is training my skills on Pokemon battles and breeding compatitive Pokemon.
The progress has been a bit slow, but currently I´m doing a breeding project of 2 Pokemon (in hopes to get shinies, but at least perfect max stated Pokemon) and after that training for my compatitve Pokemon collection.
I´m hopefully ready to be challenged in battles soon and I´m planning also offer some of the perfect breed Pokemon as gift for defeating me :3
This monthly update was bit random rumbling, but I wanted to make some kind of update what is going on in my life atm ^^
Anyways, thanks everyone to check this journal and as always: Stay safe, get vaccinated on your turn and most importantly, enjoy for this warm and sunlight filled season ^^
Your friendly lion,

it´s that time of the year once again and hopefully you all are having great Pride month so far ^^
On my side, I have been doing alright and enjoyed for the warm Summer days outside. It´s so wonderful to have Summer here once again!
I missed alot for spending time outside and doing long walks (Already did like 5 times a long 13 kilometer walks during past 5 weeks)
Yesterday I managed to make a "little" surprise pic, which has been on works for couple of months which you can check out here.
Arting has been quite slow phased (specially during summertime) but I try my best to get myself working more pics.
The Ring Fit Adventure workout has been quite successful for me, with many ups and downs of course.
But since 1st of March, 2021 with starting weight 117,5 kilograms, I got down to 112,5 kilograms on 4th of June, 2021.
I definitely got bit slimmer during this journey and I definitely won´t stop as I can see that this works really well and I´m hoping to get back to less than 100 kilogram weight soon ^^

Early May 2021 Journal
Posted 4 years agoHey there guys,
Wow, I decided to work on this journal bit eariler than usual for a change x3
But yes, I wanted to let you know that I´m doing alright and I´m definitely looking forward for Summertime as we´re slowly reaching for it (unless Mother Nature decides to be upset for some reason and have some sleet and snow for backtrack Winter x3).
As there´s been not much luck with work aspect on my side, I decided to take some time to focus on personal wellbeing as much as I could.
I restarted my Ring Fit Adventure gameplay from blank state on March 1st and been playing it for 2-3 times a week most part ever since.
There´s some aspects for getting back with weight loss routine that I definitely need to work some while now and I´ve also thinking about adding more workout days as I definitely want to add more activity for my days.. But we´ll see how and when exactly I´m able to do that as Summer time gets full speed which gives me chance to do long walks and cycling around the neighborhood.
Artwise, I´m working on one art for some while now and I´m honestly saying that it will have a bit detailed looking background, which explains the slow progress (plus I´m still thinking about ways how to do a proper time management so I won´t end up just not doing anything and just sitting in front of laptop all day) ^//^
But it´s still coming along well and I´m so much looking forward to get it fully done and show it to you all ^^
This Saturday (May 1st) is the May Day, which usually is a day for unions and celebrations of fresh high school graduates. Also there´s lots of May Day markets with full of toys and prank stuff for the kids and carnival games.
Hopefully we´ll be back to this kind of celebrations again in 2022, so for now it´s just careful celebrations with little groups and such. I haven´t planned my May Day plans yet but I´m sure I´ll figure out something for that day.
Finally, I really want to give my huge thanks to all of birthday wishes on April 2nd and also for all the faves you guys have given to new art uploads and nice comments+watches ^^
I know I haven´t been given separate thanks to everyone on the comments all the time, but lately I started to feel like I tend to sound like broken record with the same "Thanks for the fave" ect.
So, maybe I should do like a mention on my profile page for overall thanks mention or something as I do appreciate alot for all the faves/watches/comments from all of you even if I haven´t separately made a thank you comment on your page.
Also remember to check out the original artist´s work for all the "non my made arts", whether artist is on FA or Twitter ect as I always link the artist in the description ^^
Here´s the "little" journal to update my life a bit and showing that even if the arts are coming to FA slow, I´m still around ^^
I hope the rest of April and beginning of May will be kind for you and that you keep staying safe out there.
Your friendly lion,
Jake

I hope you all are having peaceful and good Easter, everyone ^^

February/March 2021
Posted 4 years agoWhoops, time went so quick for my previous journal ^//^
But there´s not much new stuff happening on my side like I´m still doing outdoor walks (well more frequently and longer ones as Winter starts to loosen it´s hold and Spring time is slowly coming up).
From 1st of March I restarted my Ring Fit Adventure with new restarted save file and also I´m still slowly fighting against the big art block wall, but recent gift art I made was really awesome looking.
This my last month of year 34, before the level up in 3 weeks (this year my birthday was put on Easter weekend, more specifically on Good Friday). I haven´t planned anything big stuff happening on my big day, but will see and definitely no big parties (which isn´t huge deal as I´m not that great arranging any parties or meets anyways ^//^)
Hopefully you all are doing well and kept staying safe!
