Will probably stop using Tumblr from now on
When I joined Tumblr, it was for ONE detail in particular: We could do EVERYTHING we want.
Using multiple accounts in case of it was needed. AND, since I draw sometimes NSFW drawings and made sometimes NSFW models and the rest of the time, I do the same with SFW creations, it was very interesting for me.
It was true that Tumblr was not as much used as I’d like it to be and that I didn’t get a lot of followers. It’s also true that there was a BIG problem with bots posting porn and reblogging our posts immediatly.
But now, Tumblr decides to ban NSFW content in their websites from December 17th. So, they decided to ban my interest. I mean... if I have almost no followers, what’s the point in staying in a website where I have multiple account... if the second main account will be banned?
Well, there is an answer to that: there’s absolutely no point in it.
So, unless Tumblr decides to go back on their decision, I will now post my WIPs and works on Twitter.
I’m disgusted, of course, because Twitter is a shitty website where we are too much limited in term of number of characters, so I couldn’t post my articles any more. Maybe I will need to make my own websites so I’ll stop getting disappointed.
Whatever, from now on, if you want to hear news from me, you can go on my Twitters:

- NSFW Twitter account: https://twitter.com/AkelunNSFW
Farewell, Tumblr. It WAS nice to know you.
!!! IMPORTANT CHANGES !!!
Recently, I noticed that Tumblr was filled with a lot of bots… and that these bots started spamming with likes and sometimes reblogs my post. In theory, that’s nothing dramatic… except that these blogs are always pornographic blogs… on my SFW blog.
But also, I noticed that, on my other created blogs, these bots leave me alone. Which means, I guess and hope, that their code are limited to “I like everything the ORIGINAL blog is posting”.
Well… alright, I get it. So now, this blog will be a closed and useless blog. I will stop posting in here. If you want to keep in touch with my WIP and works on Tumblr, you can follow me in the new blog I’ve just made to prevent this unwelcome spam:
http://akelun.tumblr.com
The link didn’t change, it’s the link from my original blog that I changed.
I hope this will finally stop from now. Definitely.

Improved animatic version of my herm dragon Keluna, with a more realistic anatomy and proportions I think (+ a try to make correct eyes. I’m really happy with this result btw).
It was also a model I tried to load on the latest 2.80 experimental version of Blender. I’m really impatient to try it on the first alpha / beta / release candidate / stable version of this version. I heard on an old tweet it could be ready for July, maybe, but it wasn’t an official release announcement at the moment, so there’s nothing sure... but it’ll be awesome! ^^
Made with Blender 2.79b, rendered with Cycles, tested on Blender 2.80
MONTHLY NEWS # 2: 2018, May 20th - New home and Blender 2.80
This is it.
I now finally have gotten Internet, at my new home. I left my parents, I'm living alone. It feels so great... and at the same time add so much new stress due to my financial situation.
I'm actually working until the beginning of July... and need to find a new job fast if I don't want to be kicked out of my new home in some months. So... I shouldn't be really active yet... probably more active than before though.
For the moment, I do not have a lot of things to show.
But the time I spent, being alone, without Internet, I progressed in the script of my comic project. I reached the 110 th page just yesterday. To think it's just a script, so it's more condensed than a novel, and that I probably must be at 10% of the progression of the real story I have in mind... It really IS a big project.
I also progressed on human anatomy studies and a new turn around for one of my character of my comic project (Kawa, again, since I have to modify her a bit).
And finally, I also improved on the dragon anatomy since I wasn't satisfied with the paws and some other details of the dragons I'm usually drawing. My herm dragon Keluna will then be slightly different. But just slightly.
Also, as I now moved and live on my own, some things will change of course. And some of you may wonder: "Will I open commissions / YCH / etc...?" I already talked with a few followers about it.
Well, this is not in my programm yet... But it could be soon. Especially that I will need more money now that I have to pay a rent. Don't worry however, if I open commissions, even if that's for money, my intentions are not to give a fast-made scrap and to take your money. I make a point of confining myself to my responsabilities. If someone is paid for something, he HAS to make this thing... or to apologize and to refund or propose a discount if the commitments were not completely fulfilled or if we're late on our fixed deadline.
Whatever, it's too early to talk about it. I'm not open yet. And don't worry, if I open, you will all get informed on the websites you can follow me: Tumblr, Deviantart, FurAffinity, Weasyl, SoFurry, "MAYBE twitter" and why not Patreon if I open one.
Then... what can I add? Ah, yeah, I kept myself informed about the progress of the 2.80 version of the software Blender. New interface, improvement of the grease Pencil to make it a 2D software as well, and most importantly, the Eevee real time render engine. And to be honest, I really feel amazed and impatient.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, Blender is an open-source 3D software. It is FREE and has, in my point of view, the potential to outperform its rivals at 2'000 or even 4'000 $ (Maya, Softimage, Cinema 4D...). It already outperformed 3DS-max since a long time now in my point of view, by the way. Lighter, Faster, more stable, and it has a real outliner and some other tools.
As you may have noticed, I didn't post a lot of 3D projects I worked with. It is mainly because I used this software mostly to help me in my drawings. I made several "sketches" of characters or Background with it, I rendered it and I used it as a scrap for my final 2D digital arts. Which also can explain why I'm sometimes slow to post a creation.
Though, with Blender 2.80 coming, and promising to be an excellent software, maybe I'll do more serious works on it. I dunno.
Whatever, I guess I said what I needed to say. I'll probably post some WIP of my work soon (maybe in an hour, maybe in the coming week. I didn't decide yet).
If you have questions to ask, do not hesitate. I'm a dragon, but I don't bite... generally. =P
Have all a nice day!
Akelun
PS: Next monthly news will probably be posted at the beginning of July, since I really was late because of the time I needed to get Internet.
MOVING...
This is official.
I will move during this week. Officially, I’ll get my new home this thursday.
Though, I will definitely move in 1, 2 or 3 days later, the time I need to grab everything from my parent’s house to my new home.
Plus, I won’t get Internet immediatly. I’ll need some time to get the box. So, I’ll be really inactive from now on (I could still spend some time on Internet thanks to my parents’ box, but I couldn’t spend too much time on it whatever).
So, stay patient everyone! I’ll be inactive for several days, but I’ll be back! =)
(Note: that also means that the Monthly news for May will be delayed...)
Not a very interesting WIP, but I was keen on sharing it to show I'm still active, so, here a WIP on some 3D plants I study and I'm modelling (No texture for the moment). Made with Blender #b3d 2.79b, fast render with Cycles.
MONTHLY NEWS # 1: 2018, April 2nd - Stress and inactivity
Hello everyone!
It's been a long time since I post anything in here.
First off, happy easter everyone! I hope you all tasted some delicious chocolate.
Some weeks ago, I already tryed to post weekly updates... at least on my Tumblr. But it was too hard to follow the rythm. So now, I'm trying to begin to post some monthly updates. Let's hope this will work this time.
So, what's new? Why am I so inactive this time? Do I still have a silly reason to give?
Well, to be honest, it is still the same excuses than usual. Though, some things has changed.
To begin with, the time has come. It is a question of months, maybe just weeks, until I finally find a way to leave my parents' house for good and to rent an (studio) apartment. So, of course, this leads to an unsure future for me, which causes me some stress and probably even some fears. There are after all some advantages by living with my parents. I have less things to worry about.
But I also have enough. I am 26 years old, I need to move!
This idea came to my mind since January, something like that... and it was at this moment I have become inactive again. There are no secret, the reason above is the main reason. I have to admit it. I'm stressed. I can't focus as I would like to be.
Plus, I intend to register to a course which will probably starts in January 2019. And the city where I intend to relocate is not the same than the one where the course should be organized. Which would mean that I could need to move 2 times in less than 7 months...
More stress more stress more stress... ><
Whatever, I didn't really was "this" inactive. Since January, I after all have made a big progression on the script of my comic project. I reached 70 pages of script just the latest Friday. And it only represents 1/10e of the story I have in mind, I'd tell. Also, I worked again on my characters and on the design / story of the dragons of my world. I have to be honest, I'm really proud of what I've written so far.
I apologize though for my inactivity here on Internet and hope that you'll understand. I may be more active again after July, I guess (and until I have to focus on the course for which I want to register). I know I could have kept you informed of my situation earlier, but it is hard for me to convince myself that yes, I can be and am stressed.
I'll try from now to post monthly updates though, to make my point... with you... and with myself.
Have a good day my dear followers!
RESPECT
Internet is so fantastic.
We can find a lot of people, meet them depending of our hobbies / our passion / our work... However, sometimes, you can find people whom are... rather awkward... sometimes manipulative, sometimes mean...
Today, I talked for the 100th time to an artist... I won't say his name because of the rules on some websites I will post this journal... and because I don't find it necessary, but he is in an important amount of "artists beware" list AND I met him (online, not in real life) some years ago.
And then, I needed to express a thought.
Something which is ABSOLUTELY obvious for me, but for this artist and for some "trolls" I met before online, it is apparently fully INSANE to think about it.
-------------------------------------------------
1st:
Yes, you can hate some artists, because there was a bad communication / a difference of opinion / etc...
HOWEVER, going to customers who paid these artists just to insult the artist commissioned by saying things like : "This artist is a b*tch" or "This artist do this only for the money and don't care about you"... THIS... is WRONG!!!!!!!
You have a bad experience with an artist? Then, block him, ignore his / her artworks posted elsewhere AND if the experience is so bad that it is fully unprofessionnal and unacceptable, then, ask an opinion on artist beware websites and if they confirm this is not acceptable, post a story with screenshots on the artist beware websites in question. Don't worry, a lot of customers knows about artists beware websites. If you don't know, ask.
2nd:
This one made my blood boil. Seriously. And it happened just today with the artist I'm talking about. It is totally OBVIOUS, but... visibly not for everyone:
If you learnt an artist (or any other person) you hated died... Do - not - spit - on - their - grave.
Do not insult them. Especially in front of his / her friends / family.
This is... UNACCEPTABLE!
-------------------------------------------------
-> "" Yeah, but but... I have the right to do it! I can express myself and... and... you don’t know my life and what I have to deal with to begin with! "" would answer you the troll with a childish voice.
Indeed, but that's precisely because we don't know your life that your insults are unacceptable and not receivable. And nobody will care about your life. You have to be the bigger guy, grow up, and get yourself a better life. Nobody can anything for you.
And plus, what is this mediocre excuse? "" I have the right to do it? "" Well, you have the right to be an bad person indeed, but... how can I say it?... Yes, this is ethically wrong!
When anyone says "I have the right to do it!", this person must make the difference between:
- The laws allow me to do it.
- A responsible party gave me the right to do it.
and
- This is acceptable in the society to act this way.
So, do you have the right to do it? Well:
- Yes
- There's no responsible party other than you, so yes.
- And... well... NO you absolutely DON'T!
-------------------------------------------------
So... from what happened just today, I needed to post this journal (it really feels good to release what I have on the heart).
But I also needed to warn you. The artist in question is known for lying and being manipulative. So, if something is posted against me, please, tell me or, better, report him. If someone tells you: "I really wish I could show you all what kind of a person he really is.", something like that, ask him for evidence. "I" have screenshots against him, to proove of his bad behaviour. He has nothing because I never was aggressive to him. I maybe was sometimes clumsy in what I said, or at the border, but I NEVER acted bad.
By the way, this rule is valid for everyone. Never trust someone who said "this artist / man is sh*t / a liar / a b*tch / etc..." as long as you don't have a proof of it. Always be wary! Even if this person is me. I won't say that you can trust me because I posted this journal to warn you of some bad and manipulative behaviours. But at least, on this journal, I don't tell the name of the artist in question. And if you figure out who it is, I can proove I'm not the one who is wrong / lying.
By the way, if you figure out who I'm talking about it, DO NOT post his name in the comments. THANK'S!
-------------------------------------------------
PS: If this journal doesn't respect the rules of this website, please, tell me in comment and I'll edit / delete it.
End of the story.
Lil update. Back to make new arts! =)
Hello, dear followers! A small journal to tell you... that I'm back. A few weeks ago, indeed, my sister came visiting me after I didn't see her for at least a year. So, of course, being with good terms with her, I didn't spend much time in Internet. I was still present, indeed, but not very active. Recently though, my sister came back to her home. So, I can get back to work. That won't mean I will be very active, but at least, I can draw some things from my projects or for other people. Actually, what I intend to do is: - finishing 2 drawings - starting my comic project (yes, you heard well. This should happen soon or later) - probably preparing a commission prices sheet for a friend (that won't mean I'll be open for commissions though. There was just a friend who was quite insisting about it and I gave up XP) and make the second commission of my life And here it is for now. Also, I'm keen on asking you. I know there's some people there who follow me, but I'd be curious to know WHY are you following me. What do you like the most in my gallery? What do you want to see more from me? Please, don't be shy. I maybe love to be represented as a dragon, but I don't bite, I swear (as long as you don't threaten me, of course. =P). Thank's for having read this journal, and I wish to all of you a good day! ;)
My herm Keluna, lying on the ground, staring at us with a silly smile.
WIP made with Krita 3.3.2.1
Some personnal weapons made for my comic project in Blender 2.79, rendered with Cycles and Filmic color management.
The weapon above is the one of Shar Minstry (no reference yet), inspired by a Ninja weapon type I don’t remember the name.
The 2 at the middles are the ones of Ellena Enkei ( http://akelun.tumblr.com/post/135203533424/sketch-wip-reference-of-ellena-enkei-an ). 2 short weapons inspired by pictures found on Google of customized japanese sabers.
And the weapon below is just the staff of Dern Ryuken ( http://akelun.tumblr.com/post/167152883669/a-quick-update-of-one-of-my-main-characters-for-my ). But it is a more powerful weapon than it seems.
A quick update of one of my main characters for my comic project: Dern Ryuken. He’s a powerful and mysterious fighter, with a dark past. His weapon, a bow with a shining band made of Zengen (the energy and essence of the powers in my world) is not as simple as it seems.
Made with krita 3.3.1, still a WIP
