Heya fox friends!

Went back to commissions last week and made some good progress! Knocked out a couple of them even though I was feeling a little ill, so I count that as win, even if I would have like to have gotten more done just in general. I've wanted to draw but my general creative energy has been up and down, and I've been headachey and tired for the last week or so. So it's been... okay, but not great.

This week I'm going to get into the ID cards for Milkie, see if we can't knock those out, and then work a bit on Seli's piece that I owe her. I'll also see if I can get up the mood to make some progress into that sequence for Salisha. Hopefully I'll get into it and just blow through it like I have in the past.

Beyond that, maybe some preliminaries for new things later on in the week.

Anyway, let's look at the list!

     #003: Hunter    – Complete!

     #013: Azure    – Complete!

    - - - - - - - Late Line - - - - - - -

I've been wanting to work on VH and Clara, so once I get the list charged down, I'll see about setting aside a few days for those... Dunno if it'll happen this month, but we'll see how it goes. I think I might take the last week of every month as a by-week in order to catch up on projects and uploads without worrying about streaming or time commitments. That way I can reorient myself without going months and months of sinking into disorganization.

The Discount Bin (link below) is open if you're interested in anything down there! You don't have to place the order in the form for those, just message me. It may take me a bit to ask back if I'm unsure about taking on something new but as long as it's there and there's a spot open, I'm available for it!

Also, since I neglected it on the site (I still have a lot of cleaning up to do); Special Thanks to MechaGhost, Chris Brown, CuriousGarchomp, Doc, Ericandink, Kith, Norithics, and Siege along with the rest of my patrons! Thanks a lot everyone!

This week's Father's Day on Sunday! If you have to concern yourself with that sort of thing, don't forget! There won't be any art for it this year (I'll be focusing on working on something for my dad) but who knows, maybe next year.

Anyway, thanks for listening!

Until next week, peeps!

Heya fox friends!

Things are still trucking along! This week, I'm going to be taking a bit of a break from streaming this week to get a bunch of stuff uploaded and things for the site worked out. I also have to set up an optometrist appointment and do some things around the house, so I'd like to take care of those! If I decide to stream anyway, I'll post the announcement in the discord and such as usual!

That doesn't mean I won't be working on anything; I'll still be chipping away at in-progress things over the week as I have time. I just want to get things in order and get a bunch of the works I haven't posted up on the gallery sites and start to properly format my on-site gallery so I can have my legacy work up on my site.

Let's look at the list!

  2022

     #003: Hunter – In Progress!

    - - - - - - - Late Line - - - - - - -

     #013: Azure – In Progress!

     =RELOADING...=

     =OPEN=

Finished Turner's pieces, and was able to get most of the way through Azzy's sheet (which I hope to finish as I go along this week). Just need to finish Seli's piece, and then I can move onto the Partners IDs (Milkie, Lei, Ellie and Azure.) Hunter's is in progress, too, and should be done quick enough, and then I've got some pieces for Doc next as well as finishing Salisha's sequence. The list is still pretty long, but every little bit gets us further down it.

I'll also be checking the submission sheet for Patrons over the week, so if you support us on Patreon and are planning to use that, now's a good time. I'll be closing it next Sunday as this coming month's expenses should be covered, so if you want to get that done, go ahead and do it now!

I went ahead and updated the Discount Bin (link below) if you're interested in anything down there! You don't have to place the order in the form for those, just message me.

Also, since I neglected it on the site (I still have a lot of cleaning up to do, which I'll be trying to fix this week!); Special Thanks to MechaGhost, Chris Brown, CuriousGarchomp, Doc, Ericandink, Kith, Norithics, and Siege along with the rest of my patrons! You peeps keep me running! The increased support over the last few months has been a tremendous help.

That's all for now!

Until next week, peeps!

Heya peeps!

So things are rolling along, even if we're still kind of in a holding pattern at the moment. Comic work has been slow to non-existent, as you may well have noticed. That's mostly because I've been focusing on commissions and my creative energy has been scattered about in terms of what topics I've been eager to work on. I need to find a bit more focus, but I'd like to get this list pared down, at least so that everything is well within the desired turnaround period.

I want to get to a point where I can sit down and work on VH and Clara with a clear head. I'm going to try and push things off-stream this week to try and get more works in progress and crunch the list a bit. Once we're way past the late lines, I'll feel a lot better about everything and we'll get back to the comics. I've been trying to transition from commission work to a support/merch based system for a long time and I'm still not quite there, so I hope y'all don't mind too much the gaps here and there. I still feel like this is going to be our year, though!

Anywho, speaking of, let’s have a look at the list!

2022

• #003: Hunter – In Queue
• #013: Azure – In Progress!
• #015: Turner – In Progress!

2023

• =Reloading...=
• =Open=

So, I kind of flamed out on Monday last week and did a bunch of unrelated things (though everyone seemed to respond well to those) but I still have the current in-progress set (Azure, Turner, and Seli) to do, even with some good progress on them this week. After that, the next priority is the the Partners IDs that I owe Milkie, Lei, Ellie and Azure. Once those are done, I'll start on Hunter and Doc's pieces to try and clear out the top of the list for good. I went ahead and updated the Discount Bin (link below) if you're interested in anything down there! You don't have to place the order in the form for those, just message me.

Apparently the place I tried to get my glasses from didn't have a doctor, so I'm going to have to research around town. If I do take an administration week, I might have to spend a chunk of that researching eye places. But what can you do? Also, since I neglected it on the site (I still have a lot of cleaning up to do); Special Thanks to MechaGhost, Chris Brown, CuriousGarchomp, Doc, Ericandink, Kith, Norithics, and Siege along with the rest of my patrons! You peeps keep me running! The increased support over the last few months has been a tremendous help. Anyway, that's the news! It isn't much, but there it is!

Until next week, peeps! ~Spooky

Weekly Update! (2023-05-14)

https://www.foxsaliant.com/

Heya peeps!

Okay! Submission form is closed! The Patreon form is still open for the time being, though, so feel free to check it out if you're not already on it! I haven't looked at that yet (aside from a cursory glance) so I haven't sent out any invoices, but I will get to that this week. Otherwise, things are going well, and we're just waiting on some outside news to see how things get shaken up over the next few months (if they do.)

Tuesday, I'm going to go get an eye exam and hopefully get a prescription for glasses, because, frankly, my current set has been declining steadily, and sadly, I need to see to work, so we'll have to take care of that. Hopefully I don't have to drop a lot on glasses this time around, but we'll get it done if it comes to that.

Workwise, let’s have a look at the list!

2022

• #003: Hunter – On Hold for Payment
• #013: Azure – In Progress
• #015: Turner – In Progress
• #016: Flahro – Completed!

2023

• #001: Milkie – Priority!
• #002: Seli – In Progress
• #003: Lei – Priority!

- - - Late Line - - -

• #004: Marble – Completed! 
• #006: Doc – In Queue
• #008: Artemis – In Queue
• #010: Chacumera – Waiting on Payment
• #011: Doc – In Queue
• #012: Mabel – Reissued to #023
• #013: Kennie – Waiting on Payment.
• #015: Salisha – In Progress
• #016: Salisha – In Queue
• #018: Azure – In Queue
• #020: Mel – In Queue
• #021: Doc – In Queue
• #022: Spectrickster – In Queue
• #023: Mabel – Waiting on Payment

Discount Bin

• Salisha – Durex Date #2: Jessie Hart x Bakeneko Spooky [#2023-015]
• Anzu – Durex Date #3: Ninja Anzu x Kyonshii Spooky [Not Issued Yet]
• Turner - Bunnysuit Cass [Not Issued Yet]
• =OPEN=

Currently my focus is on finishing the ones in progress behind the late line (Azure, Turner, and Seli) and then taking a day (depending on when things get done) to just work on the Partners IDs that I owe Milkie, Lei, Ellie and Azure that I've had set aside for a few months (I am so sorry, I didn't expect it to take this long to get back to them.) Once those are done, I'll have a LOT of things to post, but I'll be able to just completely wash that part of the list, which will be nice.

I have Salisha's date to finish for the discount bin and once that's done, I'm onto the one with Anzu. (I'll do smaller things as they crop up, but those are pretty heavy.) I'll probably end up raising the prices on the dates afterwards, but people have seemed to enjoy the results! They're just a bit intensive mentally, that's all, and I've really got to be in a mood (which I've been a bit too toasty for the last week or so to manage). But I've still got a while on those before I need to focus my attention proper.

Still, if the week goes well, I might clear everything out that's behind the line before it jumps forward again (around the 29th or so).

Fortunately, the number of BIG items gets a lot sparser going forward, so that'll make it easier to catch up. I'd love to do some comics, but I just haven't been in that place, and work needs to get done.

Anyway, that’s how things are going! Thank you for checking in, and I’ll see you all next week~! Don’t forget to check in on your moms, if the situation applies to you, and wish them a Happy Mother's Day! n.n

 Until next time!

Weekly Update! (2023-05-07)

https://www.foxsaliant.com/

Heya peeps!

Looks like I’ve been able to collect my paperwork and get everything straightened out! My spreadsheets are updated and everything appears to be in order!  I’m going to be closing my submission form as I’ve talked to everyone who’s submitted anything (though the one for our Patreons will remain open,) but I’ll let you all know when we open up again so you can get your submissions in! n.n

Once the big commissions are done, we’ll see about pivoting to a running list or SotS-style commission format again (that’s Sketch on the Spot for those of you who are newer). Now that I’m no longer on active social media (i.e. Twitter), I feel a little more comfortable about posting my Discord, though I won’t be doing that JUST yet. Once I do a bit more site updating and cleaning up around the discord information channels, then I’ll feel better about opening it up in a limited capacity so that new people can join the streams and such!

Still, commissions are coming along well, and I’m finally approaching the end of the real list! It’s been a long time coming, but everything feels doable now! My comic work has been… non-existent this quarter, unfortunately, but it’s only been one month so far, so perhaps things will change here in May. If not, though, I still have high hopes for the rest of the year!

I’m also working on something with a friend of mine (Azure Dreamer), which I’m hoping will be out in three or four months or so. It’ll be fun, and we’re bouncing things off one another, which is always enjoyable. And then, I have a big project I want to aim for being out in August or September, but we’ll have to see how the moving situation goes before I can even attempt to think about messing with that!

Still, we’ll keep on working at it! For once, money hasn’t been a problem, and I’m starting to be able to save, so hopefully the future continues to brighten as we head towards the midpoint of the year.

Let’s have a look at the list!

I’ve got about six more jobs or so before I’m solidly back within the 90 day turn around again (it slipped a bit in the last couple of months) and I’m still hoping to get within a 30 day turn around by the end of July! If things keep going the way they are, then that seems very within the realm of possibility!

Anyway, that’s how things are going! Thank you for checking in, and I’ll see you all next week~! Don’t forget to check in on your moms, if the situation applies to you!

 Until next time!

Hey peeps!

I'm organizing my commission stuff and updating my old spreadsheets and such, so I haven't been able to prepare my usual blurb and calendar updates this week! But I figured I'd say something! Preliminaries will occur Monday, if I get my stuff in a row, I'll stream again on Wednesday, otherwise I'll take the day out to continue organizing things. Friday I'll continue my in progress sequences!

Sorry for the sparse update! I'll update the commission image and such on my site when I get everything in order. I let things get messy for a bit and just need to clean them up, is all! Thank you for your patience, and I hope you have a great week!

Hey peeps!

How’s things going? 

Here at Fox Saliant Studios, we’re on the cusp of a big move in (hopefully) a couple of months and there’s a lot of other stuff going on! 

There’s a lot to do, and I’m going to do my best to make sure it all happens in a timely manner.

Alongside that, I’m hoping to continue to update and expand my personal website, and start updating the gallery again. The current sites I use all seem to either be unstable as to what they’ll allow, or simply… just not very heavily trafficked, so I want a place people can go to view the entirety of my work if they should feel so inclined. It’ll take a long time, but we’ll get there, and frankly this is something I’ve been putting off for years, so it’s about damn time.

This comes sort of on the heels of an announcement that the big twit over at Twitter is investing in GPUs to create an AI to integrate with Twitter. As such things are only really used in image generation AIs (text AIs use different hardware,) I can only imagine he plans to imagescrape Twitter for his own purposes. Since said twit is a “do things first, and let them sue me later” kind of fellow without any sort of desire to allow people to opt-out (or in, if we’re being REALLY nice,) I don’t care to stick around for that. So, in a thing that’s been a long time coming that I floated months ago, I will no longer be posting on Twitter anymore.

My fans on Twitter, for the most part, have been lovely, and I thank all of you for your support. I’ll be posting my info on Twitter as to where to go in order to see my work.

 Now, since there’s a database of everyone’s stuff on the backend, I don’t know if deleting my account would make a lick of difference, and I wouldn’t want anyone picking up my screenname, so I might just leave the account inactive with a pinned signpost as to where else to follow me. I’ve already archived my account, so if I have to (or feel that it would help) to deactivate it, I will. But in the meantime, I just don’t care to stick around.

Fortunately, there’s nothing on my Twitter that’s unique. It can ALL be found elsewhere, and I hope you’ll join me on one of the OTHER myriad of sites available. Or you know, keep checking foxsaliant.com once a week or so to see what’s going on!

As for my work, well, let’s take a look and see what we’ve got going!

Commissions:

    2022:
        
        #003: Hunter   – On hold for payment

        #018: Azure         – In Queue.

    Discount Bin Requests:

        Salisha            - Durex Date: Jessie Hart x Bakeneko Spooky
        [Redacted]         - #24 Pin-Up
        =Open=
        =Open=

Alright! Looks like that’s everything on the list! I appreciate those of you poking at the Discount Bin! It’s a lot of fun, and it’s nice to see people excited about my stuff!

We’re chugging right along with commissions and with any luck, after the move happens, we can afford to slow down on those, and put our attention back towards the comics. I might not be able to make my goal this quarter for comic content, but that remains to be seen, I won’t count it out yet. We’ll just have to see what opportunities present themselves!

Anyway, that’s everything for now. I’ll keep you all posted! Thanks for checking in!

Until next week!

Hey there peeps!

Not much to report on this week! Things are moving slowly, but they’re definitely moving, and work is proceeding at pace! I want to try to do some Clara stuff this week, I think, and get another strip up, or at least do the composition for the next three or four, so we’ll see what happens there.

I’ve got a lot of work to catch up on before I can organize actually making comics at a regular pace, but we’re getting there!

I’ve got to do my taxes this week, so that’s going to take up my Tuesday, and I’m going to see about getting my in-progess stuff that I have out the door. I’d like to get my uploads cleaned out, too. But we’ll see what happens with that. There’s ALWAYS stuff that I can upload, after all.

Let’s see what’s on the list:

  2022:

    #003 – On Hold

    #005 – In Progress! Set to be finished this week.

    #006 – In Progress! Set to be finished this week.

    #013 – In Queue.

    #015 – In Queue.

    #016 – In Queue. Possible warm-up/impromptu.

    #017 – See #2023-002

    #018 – See #2023-001

  2023:

    #001 – In Queue.

    #002 – In Queue.

    #004 – In Queue.

    #006 – In Queue.

    #008 – In Queue.

    #010 – Waiting for Payment

    #011 – In Queue.

    #012 – Waiting for Payment

    #013 – Waiting for Payment

    #014 – In Queue. Possible warm-up/impromptu.

This weekend we’re going to the Renfest, so I’ll be gone most of Sunday and I won’t have time to work on the weekly update that week, so I might push it back or just skip next week if I don’t have time. I don’t see my schedule changing all that much, streams should still be on the normal days.

Other than that, we might have some good news coming up and other exciting things happening, but that’s all just in the air for now. So let’s focus on what’s in front of us, first.

Until next week, friends! Happy Easter! Enjoy your chocolate and I’ll see you next time! ^.^

It’s April now, so that means we’ve successfully made it through the first quarter of the year 2023!  

Wow, huh?  XD

It also means that it’s time to reflect just a little on what we’ve gotten done so far this year.

So far we’ve managed:

3 Various Happenings Updates

1 Clara Cosmos Update

2 Conception Foundation (Non-Commissioned)

That’s about… half of what I was hoping for, in all honesty, but not bad.  Most of those WERE in January, of course, when I was most active and least bogged down in commission work, but still, not bad!

I’m going to try and do better though!  I want to progress on my projects more steadily as the year goes on, and just in general.

Commissions have been very good this year so far, at least, and thanks to your support on Patreon and the advances from the commissions in March, I won’t have to take any in April to make my contributions for the month!  That means I can focus on getting further caught up!

I’m now within a 90-day turn around on things, and I’m hoping to narrow it down within a month by the end of the quarter and within two weeks by the end of the year!

This quarter I’m hoping for at least three updates for Various Happenings and The Adventures of Clara Cosmos each, as well a sequence each month for The Conception Foundation.  

I know that’s highballing things a bit, but you’ve got to push yourself sometimes!  XD

The sequences for The Conception Foundation might get offset by the fact that I seem to be getting a few commissions for that sort of thing, so that sort of content isn’t going to subside anytime soon, even if I don’t come up with a scenario myself, necessarily.

But my ultimate goal for the comics, however, if I can ever reach absolute security in it, is to get Various Happenings up to updating once a week, and Clara Cosmos up to three times a week.  I feel like that would be a good storytelling pace, at least for the moment.  I’d like more, if I can manage it, but that’s the dream for right now.  I want to work on the Bookweaver's Journal and Cast Page on varioushappenings.com, too.  So there's that.

I also have another couple projects that I’m working on, in addition, that I want to do things with perhaps sometime this summer.  One is something I’ve had sitting in my project documents for a few years and I’d like to do just bang it out if I can manage it.  It’s not that long and I think I could do it over a month or so if I was really focused.

The other is a thing I’ve had mulling around the Discord for a while, and I’ve been making efforts to revitalize it over the last year or so.  

I’m not going to make any promises on it, but I’ve been working on it in the background in fits and starts and I like where it’s heading.  I’d like to mess around with it a bit among friends in the future if I’m able.

Of course, a lot of this is going to be disrupted around June, because we’re going to probably be moving at that time.

We don’t know where yet, as my roommate has yet to secure a new job location (though we have a few guesses,) but even if that doesn’t happen, we’ll most likely be moving out of the current house we’re in.  So there’ll be a bit of a downtime at the end of June and the beginning of July as we make that transition and get settled again.  Hopefully not too much of an issue, but it’s really up in the air.

So that’s the sort of molten situation for things right now.  Ultimately it’s going to come down to my health, my motivation, and how much stuff gets in the way of me drawing as much as physically possible.  XD

But the support lately has been overwhelming and you are all fantastic.  I couldn’t even come close to any modicum of success without you all, so thank you so very much.

Now then, let’s look at the commission list.

That’s what we’ve got for now!  Like I said, the form is still open, but I’m not going to be taking anything new for a while.

Still, you’re more than welcome to toss something in there and I’ll look at it when I’m able.  The Discount Bin will be open, and I’ll refresh the used spots as commissions are completed, so have a look at that and see if anything takes your fancy.  I’ll keep adding (and removing) things from it as time goes on.

That’s pretty much the state of things over here.  I might have forgotten a thing or two, but I’ll put it up when I remember it.  Next week is tax season, too, so I should take care of that before the deadline hits, so I’ll probably do that next Tuesday.  Don’t y’all forget either (if you live in the US or a country whose fiscal year ends in April.)

Anyway, that’s all for now, sorry for the long read!  Take care of yourselves and I see you next week!

Until next time!

Weekly Update! (2023-03-26)

https://www.foxsaliant.com/

Hey peeps!

Sorry about last week, I posted a notice on Discord but I just really didn’t have the energy to make a whole update last week, because I was having problems with my leg due to throwing my back out and I was kind of shot as far as stamina and emotional ability went.

I’m doing a good bit better now, though, so thank you for understanding!

Now that the submission form for commissions has been up for two weeks, I’m going to go through and message people on the four slots I have open. Once that’s done, if you’ve submitted something and I’ve already filled out the slots, I’ll go ahead and hold onto those so I can vet them and slot them in as I go. If I have any questions, I’ll contact you with the info provided. If you’ve submitted more than one, then I’ll go ahead and set the second one (or whatnot) aside for later.

Here’s how my commission queue looks! As always you can reference your number to the one on your invoice or the chart on www.foxsaliant.com

As for other work, you may or may not have noticed, but I updated the archive page over on www.varioushappenings.com and have added in a comic-panel style version of Chapter 5. The original visual novel version is still on the archive page at the bottom, but if you were unable to read it for whatever reason, it is now available like the rest of the comic. I’ve also renumbered all of the comic pages (again) and everything should be in order and read correctly. I’ll be uploading Chapter 5 to the various sites that I’ve been contiguously uploading Various Happenings to (DeviantArt, Inkbunny, and Patreon) but any new full body uploads in the future will contain this version of Chapter 5.

I’m so happy to be done with that, and now I can move on to other big projects for a bit, get my other uploads done, and work on getting these commissions out the door.

Thank you for being understanding! And thank you for your continued business and support! I hope you’re all doing well, and I’ll see you next week as we head into April!

Until then!
