Heya!

I just reached 10'000 watchers on Furaffinity, a huge milestone! <3
FA has always been and will continue be the main platform to upload and distribute my furry art.
I'm glad about your huge interest into my silly characters and scenarios revolving around paws and/or any kind of dominance! <3
Thank you for the support and that you choose to spend a little bit of your time with my art, means a lot to me!

Greetings,
Thaz

Just a little reminder that I have a telegram channel now. You can find all of my artwork there as well es extra content I don't post anywhere else! <3
Check it out if you are 18+! Maybe we can make it to 1000 members soon <3

For some time, long ago I have saved every single artwork that I have added to my favorites here on FA. Since I do some restructuring of my reference folder I rediscovered this little time capsule and saw that I started it almost exactly ten years ago. I decided to check how many of the favorites have vanished…

For this little study I compared the favorites that I saved on my local computer with the ones that are still in the galleries online here on FA. I saved them in batches of 100 and in the same order and it looks as follows:

Batch 000-099, saved on Dec 14, 2014: 15% has vanished
Batch 100-199, saved between Dec 14, 2014 and April 22, 2016: 15% has vanished
Batch 200-299, saved between April 22, 2016 and January 21, 2017: 14% has vanished
Batch 300-394, saved between January 21, 2017 and December 28, 2017: 7.5% has vanished

Note that this doesn’t say anything about when the artwork has been uploaded or when I added it to my favorites. I only have the data of when I saved the art onto my computer compared to today. As you see in my dataset for seven to ten year old favorites, about 15% of the artwork has vanished. Now what can we learn from this?

1. The longer ago you faved something the higher is the chance, that the original uploader deleted it from their gallery.

2. Your favorites are not save, if you hold dear all the art you fav then the only way to make sure to keep it is to save it locally.

3. Even if you visit one of the FA mirrors out there (yes, they exist) or other art platforms, they may still contain all the art, however there is no way to know which of the artworks you faved unless you make like a snapshot of your favorites once in a while. Long ago, FA would notify you of deleted favorites, however this feature was useless since you didn’t know anymore what artwork has been actually deleted. It was not only useless but it created work for you since you had to delete the deleted artworks from your favorites as I recall.

I did the same study on DA (Deviantart) where it looks as follows:

Batch 000-099, saved between April 22, 2016 and April 23, 2016: 15% has vanished
Batch 100-199, saved on April 23, 2016: 26% has vanished
Batch 200-299, saved between April 23, 2016 and April 24, 2016: 22% has vanished
Batch 300-399, saved on April 24, 2016: 42% has vanished
Batch 400-499, saved on April 24, 2016: 31% has vanished
Batch 500-599, saved on April 24, 2016: 31% has vanished
Batch 600-695, saved between April 24, 2016 and December 28, 2017: 40% has vanished

As you see the situation looks even more grim on Deviantart. However, the sets are not directly comparable since the favorites on DA were much older, of different quality and there has been a recent exodus of artists since they allow AI art. Also dA is basically dead, eaten up by all the bigger social networks that reign over the internet today. Still sad to see how much great art was deleted that I still like today.

This is not a criticism on FA/DA or the artists who delete their art. Everyone has the right to delete what they uploaded to their gallery of course. It is just a study on the hard facts of how much art is lost over time on these platforms.

Conclusion: Save the art that you hold dear, because there is a high chance it will be deleted within the next ten years and you WILL forget about it. :(

Hope you like this little insight! :)

Yes it has become necessary to create an alternative to Twitter (refusing to call it X).
Especially with the new rumors surrounding it becoming a paid service for everyone.
As it seem right now, BlueSky is to be an emerging alternative for furries.

I will post my art there too now. However, I will continue posting all my art on FA of course!
I was never really a fan of twitter, but it is just necessary as a furry artist who depends on income trough art to advertise this way.

Thank you!
Thaz

The recent pics I uploaded really did their thing and pushed the numbers as it seem xP
Thank you so much for the 500'000 page views and 8000 watchers and all your support thorough the years.
Even though I sometimes slack with replying to comments to my art, I really try to read and go trough all of it eventually.
Also I want to thank you all who support me on Patreon, this is what makes my recent art output possible!
Onto the next 500K ;P

Thaz

I would like to say thank you all for the good wishes and condolences over the past few days on the last journal.
It's nice to see how hugely supportive this community can be and I'm very glad to be part of such an accepting fandom.

There are still many things to do and hard times ahead, but it helps a lot having such good friends around.

Greetings
Thaz

Dear Friends,

With great sadness I must tell you that my father has passed away yesterday.

He died while doing what he loved the most, hiking in the Swiss Alps. It was very sudden and unexpected for our family, but we heard from the doctor it was a natural death. We really did not think his time would come so soon. I have always been close to him and he was always supportive of my choices. My father’s passing is devastating and it will be some difficult times ahead for my family.

I tell you all, love your parents more because one moment they’re there, and another they’re gone.

For the time being, I will be less active and responsive on my social accounts.

Thank you all for your support.

Take care,
Thaz

I have finally made a Patreon, because I would like to shift priorities and do more artwork for a living. I hope that with your help I’ll be able to do much more artwork and scenarios, I’d call that a win win! Depending on how much work it’s going to be, there will also be commissions.

Please check my newest gallery upload for more info about it!

Do not worry, I will continue uploading ALL at least flat colored artwork here too! But on Patreon you will have access to some extra sketches.

Sadly I got the news by jud97 that a new imposter is/was taking my pictures and identity but not my name. He appears under the name Thomas Gregorio and seem to be Italian and is also claiming to own my fursuit. He is also known to block people that tell him about being an imposter.

So, I really don't know what these people think because in the long run this never works out, but anyway. If you come across this guy (Probably if you are Italian fur especially I think) than please try to report him. I can not do on FB since I just recently deleted my FB and I do not want to reactivate it to be honest. :/

So as a reminder, the only social media I appear under the name Thaz is Twitter, Telegram and Deviantart (Thazumi there and kinda abandoned). Anywhere else where you find me or my pics they were not uploaded by me. However, identity theft if bugging me much more than pic uploads.

Thank you very much for your help!

Thaz

Okay now that I have your attention (Or not, I dunno; feels like it's pretty normal to say this as a furry/scaly. But hey it's in capitals!).

I know lots of you want a commission from me and I get requests frequently. I'm sorry to tell that I will not be opening commishs for a longer time. I just don't have the time and I dedicate most of it to my browser game https://pixpet.net nowadays. :)

I'm sorry, however I'm glad you like my art that much and I plan to do more foot/macro art in my "free time" of course, just not as frequent as before.

Thaz

Hello!

Thank you for all your entries!
I have picked  WaffleMouse for the job, because his reference was exactly what I was searching for. Sorry if I didn't pick you, there were many good voices!

Thaz

Hello!

I'm asking if somebody knows a good youtuber/dubbing/voice actor etc.? Basically someone who has experience in talking in front of an audience and is (ideally) native english speaker and maybe even did some voice acting before. I need someone to speak a few lines for a a short advertisement trailer for my game. Of course there will be payment in return.

Thank you for your help!

Thaz

Not often posting personal stuff here, but I'll make en exception for this. :)

Been asking my love  draxi a few days ago on a warm autumn afternoon if he wants to marry me and he said yes <3 <3 <3
We were alone on an observation tower which has a spectacular view over Zürich - Switzerland near my hometown where I grew up. I got some support by my furry friends Carpo, Corvidius and Intet which were there with me and knew of my plans. Thank you very much for this! <3

Incoming macro couple now I guess :P

Thaz

Even though I didn't really announce it, many of you found out trough the gifts I got. xP
Thank you very much for your birthday wishes and support! <3

Thaz

Hello

I've received over 20 requests, thank you very much for your huge interest!
Sorry if you didn't get chosen. However, I have your application now and you are on my list, so I can contact you back if I can't find any commissioners at some point. I plan to reopen commissions later!

Thaz

Hello

I have decided to reopen commissions finally!
Please read trough my updated commission information if you are interested.
There are two options now (Monochrome Sketch and Flat Colored) I will offer three slots for the flat colored option only for now. Please scroll down for the prices on Flat Colored commissions:

http://www.furaffinity.net/commissions/thaz/

What I draw:
Mostly male characters of any species involved into Paw, Macro Micro and Vore. However I'm also open to other fetishes and normal sex scenes, asking won't hurt! I draw tame and mature content likewise. Feral and Anthro! Feel free to ask if you have questions!

However, for the first round it will NOT be first come first serve.
Send me your commission request via Note and describe your desired artwork in a few sentences with some references.
I will review them and pick three appropriate ones until the end of next Tuesday (September 19th). So you are not in a hurry. :)
Don't be sad if I don't pick you, I plan to do more rounds!
Thank you for your interest!

Thaz

Heya

I got a curious message today about a platform called ifunny.
Please note that I have NO account there called _Thaz_ or Thaz_Face.
I have nothing to do with the contents posted there.

If you are registered on this platform, please report those accounts.

The only places where I can be found are FA, dA, tumblr (inactive) and twitter.

Thank you!
Thaz

Sooo, I finally decided to put my reserved account on twitter to use by putting up a profile picture and such.

I mostly plan to post my artwork there, artwork of others I like a lot, some WIP's and hopefully not too much bullshit. :P

So if you want to watch follow me there, my tag is @thazdragon

Three busy busy days and about a month of preparing are behind me and I have finally moved in with my love  draxi, wich was our wish for many years now. :)

The apartment we found is really nice and we're still busy decorating it with our countless plushies and dragon/dino gear. :P
There was huge interest in this apartment and thankfully we got it. We are glad and very thankful that here in Switzerland also gay pairs are given a chance and that we have an open society.

Also I'm glad that my computer and drawing tablet survived the transport and seem to work fine and are already set up again.

However, I have been working ahead a bit concerning art, so part 2 and 3 of my mini comic, "Thaz' bug collection" (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/23077279/) will come soon. :P

Stay tuned!

Thaz
