I keep getting watches and all other support here, but PLEASE just follow me on https://www.furaffinity.net/user/drerika/ I'm active there, I read comments and notes there, my gallery is up to date THERE with all the stuff I never showed on DA, and I accept commissions only there. So just make an account there in case you really wanna watch me rolling :D since I'm no longer using DA anymore and won't post anything here either. DA will remain as a stash for art commissions others could download and it has a nice feature with thumbnails so good for showcasing my commission info with examples and that is ALL I'm gonna use it for from now on. It already was hard to maintain equally both galleries until now, so I'm only focusing on FA truly, sorry

So I just tried to find things that were handy in the old version, and my conclusion is pretty much the same as the rest of the users about this new version of DA. The old version wasn't the best ( as I liked the 2013-2015-ish version most), but hey, it was bearable as all the previous features were working. And now they completely fucked it up all over. Even the basic stuff disappeared. Sadly DA never listened to their users and I doubt they will, as from the very beginning of this new version release, nobody were happy about it. Reading all the comments and journals makes me upset, how such a big site can collapse, as a lot of artists are already abandoning it.

Even tho I really don't like all of this, I'll keep submitting (my art was started in this site so kinda having sentiments xD), but it seems I won't be able to do normal activity as I used to do (I can't even find how to maintain the groups I'm admin in). So I'll just go with the flow and do basic stuff. I'll try to learn all of the things again here, hopefully it won't be that bad as now :F....

Poseable art doll is such a craft similar to a plushy, but has a wire armature inside which lets the body and limbs to be flexible and maintain a pose. Paws, face, and some other things are sculpted from clay.
So I'm sitting here with extra loaf of wire and clay, and need these gone asap, so I'm offering some art doll commissions.
Examples of my previous similar old crafts are here:
Deadly creature poseable doll by DrerikaCM: Zambarau dragon big  sculpture by Drerika

I can do from ~15cm high chibi dolls to ~50cm high. So the price can vary from 60 eur to 300 eur or more (depending on size and character design). Payment plans are acceptable. You can comment a size with a ref to your character so I can give quote.
Any species, anthro/feral/any form! Fur/scales/feathers, everything is doable.
Due to the current situation that all of the stores are closed, in case I'd run out of some fabric or specific material, the eventual finish might be delayed so I hope you can understand that.
Feel free to ask questions!

Hey all
I'm kinda back for this month but I'll see how it will go the next month as I'll be having job practice for around next 4 months.

PRICES
Anyway, wanted to let you know that another year passed, and I got quite of interest in my art thus I can't cope with all the work flow xD... For that my most popular digital commission types (fullbodies, complex backgrounds, chibies, instream sketches) will have a price increase of around 15-20%. The new prices will be added before I'll reopen up.

REOPENING
The reopening date is unknown as yet I'm unsure when I'll be finished with last bigger commission and if I'll have time to do new ones during my job practice. Either way, I will announce it through my FA and DA journals and submissions. It won't be first come first serve, it will have a brief list of themes I would like to try. So basically it means you'll just comment or note me the short info with some refs for your picked idea and I'll pick the characters/ideas I'll like most. Most likely the entering will be 2 commission ideas per person. The journal will lay for quite a bit of time, so everyone could take a chance.
If you have some tips how this commission picking could be enhanced in a better way, let me know xD
Meanwhile, might also throw an YCH or two, will see about my free time.

INSTREAM COMMISSIONS
The next weekend (11th-12th) is planned for instream sketches. So I'm opening them now, but ONLY for those who haven't commissioned me in the past. Sorry guys, but I wanna try some brand new characters this time xD unless there won't be enough of filled spots.
All the info and prices here sta.sh/014m8d3olcjw
You can comment here or note me the info to get a spot. One spot per person!

It's quite hard for me to do this but it leaves me no other choice.

Who: Brandon Harris on FB / Ferocious Flames on FA ( www.furaffinity.net/user/feroc… )
What/beware type: ignoring me and not paying for the finished product
Where: FB/FA
Details:

Around a year ago I and Brandon Harris arranged to make a custom big plushie of his character as a commission. Before I start, I always ask for a minimum 50 $ payment part as a deposit for the materials cost to begin with. He have sent that. Depending on the budget of the commissioner, I always allow them to split payment in parts during the process of the commission, so it wouldn't be very hard at the end to pay a big amount in case they may have some difficulties. Thus, he kept saying he will pay something time to time but eventually never did. When I was done with the plushie, I calculated the total price and awaited for the payment (I never ship stuff if it's not paid yet). This is the plushie (which is still laying in my house): CM: Flames huge plushie by Drerika

He ignored me, and with the time passing by he kept commissioning some other artists while debt for me was still to be paid. After 3 months of waiting it seems he was blocked form the Facebook for some sort of stuff I don't really care, so it was kinda understandable, so I kept waiting for the payment again. Once probably another 3 months passed by, I wrote him again and he just blocked me, and I wasn't able to reach him, as he rarely uses Furaffinity (even tho I have wrote notes for him too on there). 

(Necessary parts of the chat on FB are here as a proof for the previous text wall. Read from top to bottom as a chat):

So I contacted his friends and artists he had commissioned previously, and asked them to hand my message that if he fails to reply me and explain this situation, I will be forced to put out bewares on him. Finally the next day he wrote me a note on FA, proof is bellow (read from bottom to top, the very first message is from me about apologies back then when I just started the pattern of the plushie yet had to rush with studies. And back then I have made him a badge for that waiting as promised, but never showed him because obviously he wasn't paying me anything for the plushie):

He just explained that its hard with money for him, but it was not an excuse to ignore me all this time (since as long as I can communicate with the client and know his situations, I'm patient to await for payments). I waited for the payment part again as he said he will try to send something but never did for sure. So I just sent him final note to pay a specific part until 16th January or I will create bewares for sure because I was already tired of being ignored. He failed to do that, so this is the aim why I'm doing all this.

In addition, if this person will eventually refuse to pay at all for the plushie, I will be foced to sell it in an auction for anyone who will want it (including the mentioned badge too).
