So, long story short, a friend of mine is having an emergency and I'm wanting to help them out.

I can't take on commissions at the moment, so I'm doing the next best thing and opening up my old Ko-fi page! For anyone who lends support on there, I'm planning to make an art piece for you as a 'thank you' when I'm able! I can't let generosity go unrewarded, after all!

Thank you to everyone who helps out in advance~

So I created a few designs to sell, as I'm working to help a friend save up money for an important upcoming expense! Ideally, I want to try to earn $600-$700 total, but as long as I can make a decent amount, I'll be happy.

These are the designs I have for sale! There's a mix of anthros based on Pokemon and original designs!

I only accept payments through PayPal, and the PayPal given will belong to the friend I'm helping out! If this is fine to you and you see a design you want to buy, send a message and let me know~!

So, long story short, a friend of mine is going through a rough patch and I'm going to be opening commissions in order to help her out. I'm going to need to earn a lot to help her out, so I'm going to take as many commissions as I can get. I already have a few, so I'll be working on everything one at a time.

Things I WILL Draw:
- SFW of Male and Female Characters
- NSFW of Male Characters
- Human and Anthro Characters
- Single-Character Art

Thing I WILL NOT Draw:
- NSFW of Female Characters
- Multiple Characters (I normally would, but for the sake of getting things done, I'm only taking solo-character commissions right now)
- Anything with minors or animals in general
- Certain kinks and fetishes (Ask me about these)
- Incredibly complex character designs
- Hateful imagery
- Sexual content of another person's character without their consent

Payment will be done through PayPal, and I'll be providing the PayPal for the friend I'm helping. Payment can be sent before or after the commission is done.

I don't really have set prices yet, so we can work out whatever feels fair to both you and me!

I'll be providing WIPs as I get them done, and I will be sure to give regular updates on how your commission is going!

If you're interested, send me a message and let me know!

So I'm finally getting back into doing OC fanart again soon! And of course, I'm always happy to accept reference pics for your OCs! I'll try to do as many as I can when I can! So comment with as many references/pics of your male OCs as you want to share!

Keep in mind that:

- OC fanart will likely be NSFW, so only share refs for OCs you don't mind having NSFW drawn of!
- Males only, and make sure they are over 18!
- I may draw them with my characters, so only share OCs if you are okay with that!

And one last question! I may draw some OCs with my main guys Ray or Alan! If you had to pick either of the two to have your guys drawn with, who would you pick?

For reference:

Ray - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/32067887/
Alan - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/32068045/

Long story short, I'm organizing all the references I have for other people's OCs, that way it'll be easier to find them when I start doing OC fanart. Problem is, there's some I have and I can't quite remember who they belong to.

So, I'd like all my followers to help me out!

On the Journal, link me to as many references of your OCs as you can! The more refs and the more OCs, the better! ^^

I only have three conditions I'd like to be followed.

- No OCs under the age of 18, please.
- I typically draw NSFW so only include OCs you are fine with being drawn in NSFW art.
- And finally, sometimes I'll draw other people's OCs with mine, so while you don't have to follow this condition I'd prefer OCs you would be alright with being drawn with my guys!

Thanks in advance for the help!

I'm officially back from my trip! I'm a bit exhausted from it so I won't be online long, so I'll be doing a sizable art drop tomorrow and hopefully start regularly posting from there! I missed you all! ^^

I apologize for the lack of activity on here. Been busy with a lot of stuff! But things are easing up and I have plans to be active on here again!

I'm going to be on a trip with some friends from tomorrow until the 26th, and during that time I'm going to try to get a lot of work done! When I get back, expect a sizable art drop! From there I'm going to try to get back into being active on here again! ^^

I've been pretty bad about being active on all my art places when I said I would. I'll start being more active on here again soon. Got so much art to post here so a big art drop may be coming soon! ^^

So, due to Tumblr apparently banning NSFW content after the 17th, you can expect to see me way more active on here. If you happen to be on Twitter as well, I can also be found there at:

https://twitter.com/MattDrawsMen

Thanks for everyone who's supported me on here and Tumblr, and while my time on Tumblr seems to be coming to an end as far as NSFW at is concerned, hopefully things will be better here and on Twitter. ^^

Details here!

So after some thought, work and a good bit of practice, I’ve decided to try my hand at doing full-fledged commissions! With next month being dedicated to earning money for my friend, I’ll be doing these a fair amount next month too!

This is how it will work:

- If you are interested, send a message my way!

- Solos (Both SFW and NSFW) are $10! Pairs (Both SFW and NSFW) are $15!

- All money earned will be going toward helping a friend out. Payments are probably only going to be through PayPal, and I’ll be directing to hers rather than mine! (I don’t even have one yet, so…)

- I’ll be giving you updates on your commission after I finish the lines, after I get some details done, after I draw any clothing (if commissioned to) and once the picture is done! From there, I’ll give you the option of posting it yourself or having me post it. ^^

Now on to what I will and will not draw!

I will draw:

- SFW of male characters
- NSFW of male characters (Both cis and trans)
- SFW of women, M/F and F/F pairs
- OCs
- Non-OC characters
- Anthros
- Non-Human characters
- Relatively tame ‘kinks’

I will not draw:

- NSFW of women
- Underage characters (Neither SFW or NSFW)
- Animals (Definitely not NSFW and not SFW because I’m not too great at drawing them)
- Blood, gore or any themes of death
- Abusive or non-consensual situations
- Specific heavy ‘kinks’
- Anything offensive or harassing
- NSFW of real life people (Characters played by actors or adult film/entertainment actors are the exception)

Things to factor in when commissioning me:

- I don’t do shading, but it’s something I’m working on
- Likewise, I don’t really do detailed backgrounds but it’s something I’m working on as well. I could try for a simple background but I can’t promise anything.
- Super complex poses and character designs might be a bit out of my element.
- I’m open to making variations of a picture and would be up for it.
- I don’t do well with time limits so I’d ask not to be put on one. That being said, I’ll do my best to have your commission worked on as soon as I can!
- If you need anything changed when I give you an update, don’t be afraid to tell me! I promise it won’t upset me and will make sure I can give you the best possible work I can!
- This is my first time doing commissions out of practice so I ask that you be patient with me when we talk it over.

And that’s about it! I’ll be opening 6 slots!

A really, really good friend of mine recently revealed to us that she is going through some major financial trouble at the moment. She’s been a good friend for a long time and I really want to help out, but at the moment I just don’t have the means to help her out.

My roommate suggested setting up a Ko-fi account, setting it up with said friend’s PayPal, and drawing something for the people that work with it.

But I’m really, really not sure on this idea just yet. I won’t mind doing Ko-fi requests, but I’m more concerned that the idea might not work out too well. I also thought of doing commissions, but I'd need to think it over.

I don’t know what to do. Should I take any of these ideas to heart, or try something else to help?

You know it's your birthday and you're another year older when you wake up feeling like a living fossil. XD

Probably going to do drawing as usual today since I don't really have any big plans. Still, hoping today's a nice day. ^^

Tomorrow's my birthday, and to be honest I'm not quite sure how I'm going to spend it. The only thing I can think of is what I've been doing for the past 2 birthdays...which is drawing more. XD

My boyfriend  Irish_You_Were_Buff is getting me a new art program on that day so I could do some practice with that.

Figured it’s that time of the month! I’m making a new general art trade post to help outline how I do them.

What I’ll Trade For:
- Will do SFW art for SFW art/writing
- Will do NSFW art for NSFW art/writing
- Will draw one character for art/writing featuring one character
- Will draw a pairing for art/writing featuring a pairing
- Will draw two pictures with one character each in exchange for one picture/story featuring a pair.

As always, I’m open to drawing both OCs and Non-OC characters!

And also, if you aren't an artist or a writer, you are welcome to request/commission an artist/writer to fill your half. ^^

Hey, everyone. I’m back from being super-sick. Not 100% just yet but I’m feeling okay enough to use the computer again. It feels so good being able to look at any kind of light without feeling like I’m getting beaten in the head with something.

Not gonna do any drawing or anything for the rest of the day though. It’s probably because I’m getting over whatever I had but I’m feeling completely drained of energy right now.

I’m taking it easy tonight, but tomorrow I’m getting back to work.

It’s so good to be back. I know it’s only been three(?) days, but I missed you all so much. ^^

This is one of Matt's roommates. As the title says, he's seriously sick and will be out of action for a while. It's nothing deadly, thankfully, but it's rendered him unable to use his computer.

Just wanted his watchers on here to know so they'll know why his account will be inactive for a few days! I'll be checking up on it occasionally until he feels better so I can pass along any messages to him if you got 'em.

Art trades for January are open! This time I’m going to do things a bit differently.

- As always, trades will be equal. SFW for SFW and NSFW for NSFW. Solo for Solo and Pair for Pair.
- I can do up to two trades per person!
-New Rule: A new option I am adding this time. We can trade me drawing two solos in exchange for you drawing me a
pairing. This will only count as one trade, so we can do another alongside it. THIS WILL ONLY BE FOR NSFW, HOWEVER.

Aside from that, all of the rules here - http://www.furaffinity.net/journals.....n/#jid:8518447 - are about the same. ^^

I hope everyone has a great day and I hope 2018 is good to us all! May your 2018 be great and you reach all the goals you set for the year! ^^

Art trades for the month are officially open. This is going to be the Journal I have every time I open them from now on. As such, I’m going to explain how I handle trades here for anyone new who wants to do a trade with me.

- Both SFW and NSFW is welcome. I can draw female characters, but only SFW. I only draw males for NSFW. Also, no underaged characters, please.

- There are some subjects I will and won’t be willing to draw. We can discuss those when we begin talking about doing a trade.

- I do equal trades. For example, if you request NSFW with two men in it, I will be requesting the same. SFW for SFW, NSFW for NSFW. Solo for solo, pair for pair.

- I can do both OCs and non-OC characters!

- If you aren’t an artist, writing is just as valid! I will happily take a nice story in exchange for a picture!

- If you aren’t an artist OR a writer or you just don’t feel up to making something, you can commission or request someone to draw/write your half if you want. Just make sure to tell me first.

- If you are someone I’ve never done a trade with and you do draw/write, I’ll need to see an example of your art/writing. Don’t worry, it’s just to make sure you do draw/write, not to judge how it looks.

- A new rule: I am open to doing 2 pictures for a trade instead of just one, but will request 2 in return as well.

- Take as much time as you need to finish your half. I’m not going to be putting any time limits or deadlines on you.

- Setting a new thing in place: due to an incident with a previous trade partner (no one on here), I won’t be posting my half until you are ready to post or have posted yours.

If you are interested in an art trade, just send me a message and we can talk it over! ^^

For a while now I've been doing fanart of other people's OCs on Tumblr, and now I feel familiar enough with this site to start doing them for people here!

If you'd like me to give drawing your guys a go sometime in SFW or NSFW art, drop a comment on this journal and let me know if you're okay with it! ^^

All I ask is you include two things in your comment.

- A reference for your OC I can save so I can have something to help me draw them. (Both a SFW and NSFW ref help)
- I occasionally draw other people's OCs in NSFW art with my OCs, so also let me know if you're okay or not okay with me drawing that too.

Figured since I'm opening RP to people on Tumblr and on there, I might as well do it here! ^^ Feel free to talk to me over there if you want. ^^

So recently on Tumblr, a close friend gave me the push to give extensive RP a go. So, I've been considering going for it.

My question is, would anyone here, especially close friends, be open for it if I ever decided to give it a go in the future?

For the first time, I'm going to be doing art trades on here! As such, I'm going to explain how I handle trades, for anyone who wants to do a trade with me.

- Both SFW and NSFW is welcome. I can draw female characters, but only SFW. I only draw males for NSFW. Also, no underaged characters, please.

- There are some subjects I will and won't be willing to draw. We can discuss those when we begin talking about doing a trade.
