Hey folks! I'm working slowly but surely on trying to stream more often. It's a very fun experience and with possible unemployment coming up I'd like to try and focus on it more in the next couple weeks.

ATM I stream Mondays and Thursdays 4:30pm PST with my good friend Itazura3D.

Soon I may be streaming every day around 4:30pm PST as well? Or "every day" when feeling up for it?

You can follow me on twitch here: https://m.twitch.tv/ruka750/home

And here's YouTube too in case you prefer there: https://youtube.com/@thetaverncat-x.....ClQkoe4gcKToxB

Idk if it'll ever become so good it's like career worthy but it's definitely a dream of mine to genuinely just do what I love for work. Some people draw, others write, I guess I just love gaming with friends?

Wanna try and dig into scifi world building and I think one roadblock im hitting is I haven't engrossed myself in enough Science Fiction beyond your standard Star Wars or Mass Effect.

So if anyone has any cool suggestions I'd love to hear!
Right now my plan is:
Read the Dune series, The Expanse, and the Sholan Series
gonna play games like Stellaris, Quasimorph, Homeworld

gonna try and sorta avoid: Warframe, Halo, Mass effect, Star wars (nothing wrong with them just wanna diversify my portfolio and find out what I do and dont like from general Science Fiction).

So yeah, if you have any recommendations, please send them my way! :D

Alright eff if I'm gonna try drawing again. I have friends who love and support me. The buddy who helped me to push myself into streaming is helping with drawing. I'm like nervous and excited all at once I just need to remember my drawings going to be shit for the first like five years but eventually it may look kinda hot who knows.

Fingers crossed.

Update as of 10/2/24: Genuinely starting to worry I have nothing to express. No ideas to share. I've just settled for not sharing anything with anyone for like half my life that I think I'm just fucking dead inside. Might need therapy for this one idk.

Things are ok, I'm surviving I think. Streams are occurring regularly now on Mondays and Thursdays 4:30pm PST. You can find me on twitch under Ruka750.

Nothing else to report. Hope y'all are living your best life. ❤️

There's probably a lotta OCs I need to give more love but Gilliana https://www.furaffinity.net/view/51320637/ really speaking to me ATM. Fun fact she was originally made as like my female fursona (like if I was a girl instead of a boy. Her name is even a play on part of my irl name). I'll have to think of what to do with her. Maybe put her in my fantasy setting that'd be fair. More art in general. Have to think on it.

If you've read this far I'll also be a shill and say check out my streams! I stream at Ruka750 on twitch every Monday and Thursday 4:30pm PST. ❤️

Hey folks!

So multiple great news bits:

1. My first official Tavern-Talks chat / podcast will be going up Friday Dec. 8th at 3pm PST! Be sure to swing by if you wanna hear me discuss my journey as a Dungeon Master and tips I might give new-comers. I'll have a link to it below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opS8jNDpoaM (Tavern-Talks Sesh Zero!)

2. I had a wonderful test stream with the 3d animator / artist Itazura! We played Fortnite of all things but it was a load of fun! I'd say skip to about 3ish minutes to when I realized my desktop audio wasn't on haha.

3. I think this is a good sign. I'm feeling really good about this stream, averaged 5 viewers already almost to 10 followers on twitch. I want this to work, and I hope ya'll follow along to see if it does!

(Note: I copied this over from my patreon. I figured spreading the post around a little might help and get some traction going! I am excited, nervous, scared, but very very curious to see how this might go. I would love nothing more than to genuinely not only change the course of my life. But to lend my experience and knowledge to others in an effort to help more folks enjoy the TTRPG space, especially for first time GM's. Pursuing hobbies and interests as a potential career idea is crazy, and it may not pan out. But I won't know if I don't try. That's the biggest thing and if you read anything from this journal please let it be that: You won't know until you try. Be proud of every success great or small. Take it slow and do a little every day (1~2 hours). Fight the doubt and the voices, you have to push forward.)

Hello world! To anyone reading this I have chosen the frightening, exciting and impossible task of Self-work. More specifically I aim to create a safe community (mostly for furries, but all are welcome) for TTRPG (and more!) content.

The main layout or format is going to be a sort of PNGTuber podcast, something you can put on in the background while you game or chill. I will occasionally mix it up however. I have a whole slew of different ideas for different days of the week or different moods. Including:

Table-Talk: The standard podcast that'll talk about certain subjects or topics in TTRPG's to help inform new players or refresh veterans. I already have plans for some basic subject matter like "How to be in character as a player" and "How to not get stuck as a GM".

Geek-Day: Kind of a spoiler day for me but this would allow me to talk a lot about certain third party books or uncommon systems. Showing folks the variety on offer in the TTRPG space! Sometimes I may also geek out about video games or books etc.

Game-Night: This'll be your classic I'm going to boot up a video game, play for awhile and just hang out kind of session! I play a wide variety of games including RPG's, horror, indie, AAA, Action/Adventure etc.

And more to come!

My main goal is to have my first stream up and running before the end of the year. I am still researching streaming software options, how to make a talking PNGTuber, and editing / creating accounts (Youtube, Twitch, Ko-fi etc.) I aim to take it slow but if anyone has any questions or recommendations I would love to hear!

Thank you very much for your consideration, thank you for reading this post, and if you're interested and have faith in this project follow along to the Tavern and let's see where it takes us!

Just an update found a potential a couple rad artists to work with for this Heldegard family idea. fingers crossed it all goes smoothly haha. Have to call the bank today about venmo but you know every plan has its bumps.

Hello to artists still using this platform. Hopefully that's a lot of you haha.

Listen I've got a brain worm I'll cut to the chase.

I've decided I'm finally making "papa Alex" his own actual named OC. And now I wanna get like an actual line up pseudo ref thing of the now named Heldegard family all together. (Not physically interacting ~yet~ just all standing in generic poses side by side with maybe space for info boxes?) Which includes (of course):
Warren (wip name for father)
Elaina (mom)
Alex (you know who)
Maybe we could make a 4th? A sister to Alex? Brianna?

If anyone's interested comment or note and I'll look into it! Feel free to ask for my telegram or discord info for easier communication.

It's weird with twitter dying or at least acting super jank the only way for me, a commissioner, to keep in contact with the 4 or 5 artists I commissioned on twitter is I guess FA notes? Time to start sending out my telegram I suppose! xD If you're an artist I've commed send me a note and I'll throw you my telegram! I'll also go around throwing DM's to folks just in case.

Oh man going through my personal,stuff I realize how many full resolutions I'm missing for pictures. Anyone want to help me scour somewhere for full resolutions? I feel like they should be easy to find but...eh..

First ones are my Komdog commissions with Fabian! Should at least be a MB or more, hefty pixel size etc. Dunno where they went darnit.

EDIT: Lol the E621 page dedicated to my OC has all the high resolutions what the hell haha! That's awesome.

I have a lotta OCs yes.

But, Alex is my Fursona. But I cant help but wonder if I should change it someday. Lynx was picked more on a whim, I could never nail down who I was.

I grew up in Kodiak, Alaska, home to the largest Grizzlies. I love fish, winters my fav holiday, and Bears are one of my favorite critters.

I wouldn't get rid of Alex but maybe someday it'd be nice to focus on a Fursona a bit more true to me and pays respect to where I came from you know? Big soft nerdy bear with big glasses and enjoys hikes, games, mini painting etc. A well rounded sort of nerd. 💕 It's just a thought but maybe someday would be nice to bring to life.

OMG I just realized I haven't posted any of the other pics of my Skaven warrior I need to get on that STAT. I'll probably also make a master love post of him on twitter with the major pics but I'll be sure hopefully in the coming week to get his pics posted up here. I've been slow to posting here on FA because lets be real, it's so much faster and easier to post on Twitter but it vanishes just as fast haha.

Hey FA!

I asked on Twitter but I usually have better luck getting responses here. I was just curious what people Imagined Alex's dad version sounds like! What kind of voice or accent he might have and if there's a specific character or voice actor youve imagined he might sound like. Im honestly just kinda curious and would love to hear from people!

(And of course his dad version for reference: https://twitter.com/Ruka750/status/.....646703104?s=19 )

So my PS4 broke right after Christmas. I want to buy a new one but the ps5 is coming out later this year. BUT if I dont get a ps4 now that means im spending this whole year with nothing to entertain me except an office laptop that can barely play league of legends, which means id be spending most of the year just bored on youtube / netflix waiting for the ps5 to release (if I even have the cash by than to get it)

So: should I get a ps4 now so I can at least play some damn games, or save up and wait it out and get a ps5 later?

EDIT: Omg thank you everyone for such swift feedback I deeply deeply appreciate it! <3 <3 <3

Wow uh...Never thought I'd get to this point.

I'm on my last academic term of college.
I'm taking next term as a grace period to job and apartment hunt.
I'll be a graduate with a bachelors in Arts and Letters and a Minor in Communications.

Life has been such a rollercoaster for the past five years, and it's been the stability of this community that has helped me chug along and not go insane. Thank you furry community for helping me stay sane with dicks and lewds and all kinds of shit for the past five years. I'll of course be staying in the community I just hope this next term isn't such a nightmare I can't get more commissions! I wanna keep commissioning and someday hope to get some serious artists off my bucket list (Strype, Sethpup, Gillpanda etc.).

If you wanna see more of this same art reposted, or good stuff retweeted, follow my twitter! I also occasionally just post real time thoughts xD https://twitter.com/Ruka750

Have a great winter season and shine on people! <3

A big'ol Lynx taur Alex...Great big pawbs...Cute stubby tail...

Alex as a lynx taur could be super cute.. I gotta make this happen someday soon xux

Yo remember that female form of Alex I got?

http://d.facdn.net/art/loobka/14947.....lave_alexa.png

Anyone willing to help out maybe with getting her colored up? I got Alexa muscled form colored but I keep forgetting to post it. And of course anyone in general wanna draw this lass? I've been thinking of giving alexs girl form some love honestly.

I love femboy alex getting bloated and taking it, but I seriously need to swap up my pieces I'm getting. I need to get more Java and honestly more beefy Alex too, I love my hunky Alex but I don't give him nuff love dammit x.x

I still got the two hunks on sale in my gallery, Sense they aren't selling I'll put them at 10 dollars off so both will just be 30 dollars x3 Please check it out if you're interested!

Don't forget two of my peeps are still for sale! You can see the post front in my gallery! Both fairly cheap! :)

WELP I'm finally gonna throw myself out there to this community. I am starting up a patreon and a Ko-fi along with I wanna take a few test commissions just to see how things go.

The reason for this sudden huge dive is because I got fired from my job yesterday. I worked at a service desk for my University and they fired me because I gave someone a 3 day extension to their housing contract because if I hadn't they would have had no where to go until three days later when their apartment allowed them to move in. So yeah I guess being a good person and trying to help students is a bad thing haha xD

BUT anyways, the plan right now is five test commissions, the commission variety includes thigh ups (like this: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/24728871/ ) and telegram stickers.


The thigh ups will be 20 US dollars for full color and shade
The thighs up will be 10 dollars for just a sketch
plus 5 dollars per character
and the telegram stickers will be 4 US dollars up to a maximum of 5 stickers.

(Note first come first serve)

What I WONT draw:

Holy cow guys you all must really like a sassy Lynx butt! (And of course my other characters haha!)

I really appreciate the watches and favs! <3

Half a mind to do a raffle and whoever wins gets a piece with The lynxy boy (or any of my characters of their choosing)

WELP hit 400! thank you to said number 400 for getting me there haha. Still iffy on the raffle idea I'll think on it.

Yo anyone know a artist who's interested or willing to draw asgore?

I'm sick and tired of all the goddamn Sans tumblrs (and im sick of the skeletons in general)

There aint enough asgore pron So I'm thinking Alex x Asgore snuggle fuck!!!!

I might have one or two artists in mind but if anyone knows of a really good artist for this idea totally tell me about it! <3

NEVERMIND I GOT IT! <3
