✨ Find me on BlueSky! ✨
Posted a month agoFriendly reminder that I too have a Bluesky.
For all those among you who want to help me rebuild an audience on what might be a decent new platform for artists (or who just want to leave the accursed site formerly known as Twitter behind them), I can be found right over here:
https://bsky.app/profile/hukeng.bsky.social
See you on the other side!
Stickers, Prints and Zines for beginners...
Posted 2 months agoHeyo!
Just a little question for those among you who have a little more experience tabling at cons or selling physical goods in general:
Can you recommend any particular companies or online platforms that allow you to order prints, stickers and/or little brochures/magazines on demand?
I am specifically looking for a reliable, reasonably fast and not too expensive provider that allows for smaller orders without astronomical surcharges and ships to destinations in Europe (or is even directly located there).
The number of available options is pretty staggering, and I am not entirely sure which ones are trustworthy and offer a decent overall package.
Thanks in advance if you have any useful tips!
Off to Eurofurence 2024!

Not much to add really - I'll be there for the entirety of the event, so if any of you happen to spot me in the wild, feel free to say hi!
And if you're actively looking for me, the best place to find me should be the artists' lounge, which is probably going to serve as the main hub I return to between panels and trips to other areas of the convention centre.
Are any of you folks going, as well?

✨Find me on Subscribestar!✨
Posted 8 months ago---
As some of you might have noticed, I have finally decided to unlaunch my Patreon and cut ties with that site for good - it's been a long time coming, and I am not going to miss the place.
That said, for all of you who would still like to support my personal projects (or just throw me a few bucks to keep the lights on), I am proud to announce the grand opening of my shiny new Subscribestar, which can be found
>> RIGHT OVER HERE <<
Much like my Patreon before, this is meant to serve as a tip jar first and foremost. You already get access to all art-related content at the free tier, so there is no need to throw your hard-earned cash at me if you just want to include my silly nonsense in your feed.
Aside from the highest tier, which comes with the classic 10% commission discount, everything else only serves to support me and my work. That said, depending on how well the place does (and how much time for personal art I will be able to afford in the future), I might consider adding some new tiers and benefits, should the demand for it arise.
Who knows, we might even see a comeback of the beloved monthly art poll - no promises though. ^^

Back from Eurofurence!
Posted a year ago.
Still trying to fully process everyting and already looking forward to (and making plans for) next year.
That said, Post Con Depression is definitely a thing. I am a wreck right now, albeit an uncharacteristically content one.
Coffee helps.
What about those of you who attended as well? Feel free to share your experiences!

If you've been listening to my streams as of late, you will probably know already - I shall be leaving for Hamburg tomorrow to spend the better part of this coming week at EF, so if any of you folks are attending as well, there is a decent chance we might happen upon each other!
Last year's con was already a blast and a massive culture shock in the best sense, even if I only got to spend one day there - I honestly can't wait to get the full experience this time!

Taking commissions for August!
Posted a year ago-
Heyo!
Just dropping by to let you all know I have once again completed my commission backlog, so if any of you folks are interested in grabbing a few of those coveted priority slots or have any questions on the matter, feel free to hit me up on Discord at 'Hukeng' (sans inverted commas).
I am looking forward to your ideas!

Updated Price List and TOS!
Posted 2 years ago-
Greetings and salutations, folks!
A (belated) happy new year to all of you - I hope you have an absolutely fabulous 2023!
As for me, I am afraid I must announce a little update to my PRICE LIST and COMMISSION TOS.
This comes after some fairly extensive research into the prices and commission process of artists with similar styles, skill levels and follower bases as me, many of them mutuals I greatly respect and admire, so while the increase might seem fairly substantial, I would rather it be seen as an adjustment to better match what can and should be considered standard rates.
Over the course of the past few years, my art has increasingly evolved from a beloved hobby to a major side gig, and although I am still a long way from becoming a full-time artist, I feel like I have been funnelling enough of my resources into improving my craft and cultivating my online audience to justify a little raise.
That said, to all of you who might consider the new prices to be a little too high for their taste, I would like to remind you that the highest tier of my PATREON includes a 10% discount on all your purchases, which is particularly interesting if you have any plans to commission something big (or just want to support my personal projects).
As usual, feel free to get in touch if there are any questions or things you would like to discuss, either down in the comments or on Discord at Hukeng#6662
Cheers!

Just dropping by to let you know that I have once again completed my commission backlog and am ready to take on new projects, so if any of you folks would like to grab a few of those juicy priority slots, feel free to slide into my DMs on Discord at Hukeng#6662
As per usual, don't forget that Patreon followers at the highest tier get a 10% discount on all their orders, so if you have something larger in mind, feel free to consider joining if you haven't already!

Streams and more!
Posted 2 years ago-
Hey folks!
Just letting you all know that I have recently reached my last Patreon stretch goal, which is quite frankly not something I would have expected to happen any time soon - this means that I am going to try and stream on a weekly basis from here on out!
You are all invited to drop by and say hi on Picarto every Thursday at 6 PM CEST/UTC 2
I will occasionally be drawing user suggestions as well, so don't hesitate to throw your ideas at me if there is something you'd like to see me doodle.
I have also decided to dust off my old Ko-Fi for the occasion, so those of you who would like to leave me a tip are free to do so!

Commissions Open! (and EF update)
Posted 2 years ago.
Hey folks - hope you are all doing well!
This is just a little reminder that I am always open for commissions.
What's more, I have just recently completed my backlog, so all of you who are interested in securing a prime spot in my queue are welcome to slide into my DMs or poke me directly on Discord at Hukeng#6662.
I am not working with a limited number of slots (yet), but I tend to tackle assignments on a first-come-first-served basis, so those of you who would like to see their project finished before the end of August should probably hurry up!
In other news...
I will be attending Eurofurence for the first time this year!
I have never been to a dedicated furry con before, so I am very much looking forward to the culture shock, even if I am only going to be there for Saturday and Sunday.
Are any of you folks attending? I have no idea what to expect, but based on what I know from more experienced con attendees, getting to personally meet people with similar interests is always a highlight at these sorts of events, so I am definitely looking forward to that!

Discord, Patreon and assorted News!
Posted 3 years ago.
Hey folks! It’s been a while since my last journal, and with 2021 inexorably drawing to a close, I feel like the time has finally come for a little update on my end, just to outline a few plans and upcoming changes you can look forward to over the course of the next few weeks.
Commissions
I shall remain open for commissions as usual for the time being. Fortunately, my current art output is still compatible with my work and business schedule, and I will be trying trying to keep it that way for as long as I possibly can. Commissions are a great excuse for me to sink ever more time into doing something I love, so don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like to grab some art!
That said, I have also decided to bump up my prices by a tiny bit later in January. I wouldn’t want this change to come off as too sudden or unexpected, so if you still wish to get something done for the old prices, feel free to hit me up. Otherwise, there’s also your mandatory reminder that Patreon followers at the highest tier get a 10% commission discount, which is going to be even more substantial once the new prices are officially in effect. That said…
Patreon
I am going to switch the currency used on my Patreon (which can be found OVER HERE) from USD to EUR after pledges for January have been processed, just to make my books and income statements a little less convoluted – I am nothing if not lazy when it comes to paperwork, and the fewer different coins and exchange rates I have to contend with, the better. This is an irreversible one-time change, so don’t worry about it becoming a regular thing. The shift is going to be fairly negligible for most of my patrons, but all of you who are affected by it are free to review and adjust their pledges at any time, of course.
I am also going to make polls into a monthly event again. I’ve been somewhat neglecting the online tip jar as of late, and the place would probably benefit from a little overhaul and more activity. Also, please note that patrons on the second and third tier have access to the ‘suggestion box’ channel on my Discord, which is still looking a little barren at the moment. Speaking of which…
Discord
I have decided to make my Discord server public for everybody who would like to join. Feel free to drop by and say hi, share art, discuss all manner of niche interest subjects and have fun! Just remember to be friendly and respectful - I have never had to swing the mighty ban hammer before, and I’d rather keep it that way. (>_O)
HERE’S THE LINK
That should cover everything for the time being. 2021 has gone by way quicker than expected and will have been one hell of a ride all things considered, but I am still looking forward to what the new year will bring. As tacky and token as this may sound, I would once again like to thank all of you who have decided to follow my silly online antics, no matter whether you’ve been here from the very start or just joined in over the course of the last few weeks. I don’t know if I would be where I am now without the amazing amount of support I have received and keep receiving on an almost daily basis from what I must assume are people who genuinely enjoy my nonsense.
Also, as usual, feel free to get in touch if there are any questions, suggestions or things you’d like to discuss. That’s what DMs and comment sections are for, after all!
Thanks to all of you for keeping up with my antics - see you next year!

Patreon Poll and Meme Money
Posted 3 years agoMy next poll is up on Patreon - pick your caudal appendage of choice for an upcoming tail-focused sequence! Alligator, kitsune, shark, cat or raccon?
Also, on an entirely different note...
Being the weird online culture enthusiast that I am, I have set up a shiny new Dogecoin wallet, so the approximately 0.1 per cent of you who know what the hype is all about can now tip me with basically worthless Reddit crypto if you are so inclined. The address will be included on my profile from now on, and who knows... Dank memes might be the currency of the future!
(Spoiler: They probably won't be, but a man can still dream)
Patreon Updates - also, Discord!
Posted 4 years agoAs the lucky few among you who are following me on Patreon may already have noticed, there have been a few changes to my rewards. More precisely, previews and line art are now already available at the 1,-USD tier, which basically means that you can get access to everything I post at the most basic level!
As per usual, this is primarily intended for people who want to tip and support me beyond what they would usually contribute by getting a commission. I have no plans to ever put my art behind a paywall, and all of the finished pieces posted there will always be shared on my public galleries, as well. That said, if you are intersted in having a look at what I am working on before anyone else or would like to get a say in future projects, I would be more than happy to welcome you among my supporters!
LINK TO MY PATREON
I have also implemented patronage-related roles on my (as of now still private) Discord server. I may end up sharing a public invite once I have a better grasp on how to manage the place, so stay tuned for further updates in that particular area, as well!
Patreon Poll - Pick your Potion Part 2!
Posted 3 years agoThe potion's been popped and things are quickly getting green and scaly - I wonder what our plucky participant is going to turn into...
Monster girl, anthro dragon, full dragon, or perhaps a squeaky kobold? Head over to my Patreon and decide!
Patreon Poll - Pick your Potion!
Posted 4 years agoHead over to my Patreon to decide on the subject of my next TF sequence.
Choose your favourite flavour of dragon - featuring the classic DnD chromatics Red, Blue, Green, Black and White!
Price List Update!
Posted 4 years agoAlright, deeeep breath...
I think the time has come for me to raise my commission prices a wee bit.
ducks for cover
Please, just hear me out!
Back when I first posted my current price list, I promised myself that I would not be raising prices until demand for my silly little scribbles exceeded my output capacity. After the past few weeks and months, I can confidently say that I have reached that point. The amount of support for my work has been overwhelming, with more and more of you guys approaching me to have your characters, stories and ideas rendered in a visual format, and while I could not be more grateful for being allowed to work on your projects, this has unfortunately resulted in a situation in which my already crammed personal schedule leaves me with little to no time to pursue personal projects, which include playing around with new formats, styles and subject matter to expand my skillset and creative horizon.
I sincerely hope this choice will not be too off-putting for those of you who had plans to get some art from me in the future. I'd also like to remind you that my Patreon includes discounts on commission prices for higher level backers, which are particularly attractive for people who are looking to get a larger piece or commission me regularly (and no, I am not going to be offended if you make use of the discount once and remove your pledge one month later). I also have plans to revamp the place a little and introduce one or two new tiers before the end of the year, so if that sounds like something you might be interested in, feel free to have a peek!
Aside from that, there are not too many relevant news on my end. Feel free to leave feedback on how I have been handling things thus far and what you may or may not like to see in the future!

Patreon poll part two!
Posted 5 years agoAs promised, here´s the second half of the patrons´ choice sequence for July.
Head over to my Patreon to vote on the final outcome!
Head over to my Patreon to vote on the final outcome!
Patreon poll part one!
Posted 5 years agoTo make up for the unfortunate lack of a patrons´ choice sequence in June, this month will feature two polls that will build upon each other to turn our (un)lucky subject into an exotic hybrid creature!
Feel free to hop in if you are interested!
Patreon poll is up!
Posted 5 years agoHead over to my Patreon to vote on the vict... er, subject of one of my next sequences!
This one will be featuring slimes, which I´ve been told some people are quite fond of.
Shinies!
Posted 5 years agoI may be a little late to the party, but regardless...
All those who´d like to throw me a few bucks but aren´t fond of KoFi or Patreon are invited to utilise FA´s adorably named alternative tipping system instead.
First Patreon poll!
Posted 5 years agoHead over to my Patreon if you´d like to vote on the outcome of one of my next sequences!
I´ll make sure to have at least one of these polls up every month from now on, so stay tuned for more if you are intersted.
Patreon!
Posted 5 years agoIn hindsight, I could have picked a better date, but regardless…
My Patreon is now officially online!
>>Check it out over here!<<
It´s still pretty bare-bones as of now, as I intend to use it mostly as a virtual tip jar for those who wish to support my personal projects in exchange for previews of works in progress, commission discounts and other little art-related goodies.
However, I´m definitely going to add more options further down the road, should the demand for it arise.
What about you guys - are there any particular tiers or rewards that you would love to see in the future?
I´m open for suggestions, so if there is anything that would make you consider pledging and isn´t available as of now, feel free to let me know!
1000 Watchers!
Posted 6 years agoSo this is a thing that happened.
I must admit that I have nothing special planned for the occasion, but I still feel like this should probably be seen as a reminder that there is at least a certain demand for the kind of content I post.
Plus, it´s probably a nice little excuse to take this whole art thing a little bit more seriously, and perhaps try out a bunch of new things...
What about you guys, are there any questions, suggestions or just random comments you´d like to throw at me?
If so, feel free to share them - I´m always happy to hear someone´s opinion or satisfy their curiosity.
