The future is here! Apparently. Around this time last year I was looking for fursuit makers- I did find some makers to put in bookmarks to check when they are open again, but goodness there’s a lot to consider. That and quarantine being the case, I felt maybe it’s a good opportunity to delve ...

Wooops! More smooshing!
The actual 'woops' though- on Nuki News #60, I made an error in my caption by saying that one was from my July commission batch- it was actually from my June batch, as I hadn't even opened for July commissions until the 10th. But this one we have here is ind...

So it’s been a year since I sent out a questionnaire to 12 artists who make commissioned art for a living. You can check out all the posts in that series through the ‘Advice’ tag, but you can also check out the first post here:

Wanted to once again share the WIPs from some of the previous month's commission batch! Smooshing is good stuff, I'll never get tired of depicting it. Hopefully yall don't get tired of seeing it <3

We live in a great time. Troubled, but a great one. Back in 2012, I remember saying to my mom “Boredom has been cured!” Because with the internet, there’s nothing out of reach for you to learn about and take interest in.
Doesn’t mean you’ll NEVER get bored, of course. But I’m su...

Long time patrons will know I made a post about this story over a year ago, which you can catch up on and read about the concept of here, as I won’t be repeating too much, plus there’s not much text on that post:
The second sequel, or third installment of fat furries smuushin' flab, for fun!
We even got some footsies/pawsies in there too! :3
Hope you all enjoy, I'm again very grateful for the support, hard t'believe it's the start of the halfway mark for the year too! I've put them down as att...

(Forgive the use of a random screenshot from BoJack Horseman- was a bit too pressed for time this week, but I chose it on purpose! Won't make a habit of that.)
It’s no surprise or newfound discovery that creatives often can be seen disliking their own work. This Nuki News isn’t...

I’m writing this post just as I near 3,000 watchers on FurAffinity(2949 as of writing) and broke through five thousand followers on Twitter at the start of May. It’s pretty cool, but, realistically, it’s not something I can truly fathom. Having that many people deciding to follow me for my ...

The 2nd ever NukiNews went over some rudimentary drawing exercises, the goal of which at the time was to get accustomed to drawing on this laptop I use for Patreon stuff(that doubles as a drawing tablet when flipped).

Yeah, wow, hard to think it’s April already, a week into it too! I wasn’t so sure if I’d continue to do quarterly reviews for my progress after last year, but I’m still in the learning stages of doing this art business stuff and I think it’ll help others down the line. Plus, giving myse...

Hands!! The artists’ great foe. At times, when I get tunneled into drawing for others, eventually I start seeing patterns or flaws in my work, areas to improve on. This is natural and a good thing for any artist to start seeing these weak spots. Initially, it was just structure in my drawings I...

I had a vision last night, that may seem pretty arbitrary to explain to all but maybe 3~4 of you following me here on Patreon.

I had a surprisingly good month to kick off 2021- I made more than I expected! If I got to talk to myself from a year ago, when I’d just broken a record of money made from my art, he’d be so proud. At that time(pre-pandemic) I’d quickly realized how much I’d actually need to make a living...
