Some of you know me!! :> Old-ish (>30 yo) snz-fet artist. CW: funny animal people 18+ only please

[sfalrek]

I had recently birthday, and I am now 30-something, after being 30-something for some number of years.

I should see a doctor

[sfalrek]

Do I just like writing more than drawing now? Is this what I do? Writing about fidgety lil bundles of nerves going to the "you pay them to sneeze on you" club??

Did I just write the phrase "a snooty call"??

The answers may surprise you.

[sfalrek]

Hmm, if I keep disappearing and stuff how will I ever Get Big Number??

I have to optimise my Social Media Engagement Strategy

The Nice Gift

Commission for @symphonious-wind!

I can't help but thank the client for the chance to draw the K/oo/pa K/ing's snout and chest like this hehehe,, plus, something about drawing those thick-petal flowers was fun lol

[sfalrek]

Nose so overstimulated and irritated that its owner can't even tell they need to sneeze anymore, except it just keeps happening

Anyway, good morning

[sfalrek]

here for my 200th post, a thing from a few years ago. More playing with dark background and strong light visualisations, oh me oh my. Eventually I would like to try more of these, but I'm caught in the vicious cycle of "bad with light and colour" -> "do not draw with light and colour" -> "do not get experience with light and colour" -> "bad with light and colour"

This fox fella really doesn't cover well, does he??

I kind of do miss sharing my not-sneezy drawings. There is a whole world of queer (in many senses of the word) little animal folk running around in my head, and only some of them orbit around this fondness for a tickle in the nose. I’ve also been maybe feeling extra pensive lately.

A lil thing to tide you over, from June 2020!

A narrow escape from disaster on a train (or maybe not 'disaster' depending on your perspective.)

[sfalrek]

I... Want to draw sneezies but am having a rough start.

Who wants to help this old bird shake the dust out of its feathers with quick lil suggestions?

It'll take a few days and I can't promise I'll do all of them though!!!

[sfalrek]

These are nice warmup ideas in the replies :3

They will be fun to noodle with as I remember how to hold a pen

[sfalrek]

Hmmmmm things aren't improved but I think I can deal with it better now. Maybe I try to start these drawing projects soon. (Though some other old health issues have returned! Ah, to have a body that just works...)

Apologies all.

[sfalrek]

Whoof, more bad news sad news.

Going to retreat for a while! If you have me via messengers you know where to find me. Please take care.

[sfalrek]

Uh oh, people are requesting more Yucca sneeze reports........... Hum.

[sfalrek]

Not sneeze related but my pal called me "popufur" the other day and damn. What do I do to deserve such labels!!!

First "content creator" and now "popufur"

[sfalrek]

Another short idea, brought on by having to do errands and haul stuff in this 39 degree afternoon.

Someone tired and hot and sweaty, who normally has great composure and control, deciding it's too much effort to contain and cover their sneezes. Maybe it's dusty or allergic work they're doing, and they just let loose with the volley of sneezes, unrestrained and sloppy.

[sfalrek]

Feels good to have some sneezy drawing projects queueing up :o

Don't get me wrong; I love to draw Yucca and Viktor but it's nice to have a breath of fresh air. A breath of fresh... Sneeze-air.

You know what I mean.

[sfalrek]

Hi, I've only just found your blog but I came across some of your artwork years ago somewhere and loved it so much I saved every Viktor picture I could find, not knowing the who or where of the artist. It's made me very happy to find your blog as the artist behind Viktor and see you're still drawing. I've been enjoying your art and hope to see more from you, thank you for sharing it!

Hi Anon,

I am very glad to hear! Unfortunately, yes, that happens to my work a lot (I imagine it happens to everyone else, too). Back when I was more active in the various group chats/servers, I saw it firsthand, too: people were posting crops and edits of my work, so it is probably easy to lose the source! I have Thoughts and Feelings on that, but that's not the topic of this post, haha.

I have no plans to stop drawing! Things slow down a lot, especially in the past couple years. My current life situation is not really conducive to drawing or anything enjoyable at all, but hopefully that will change. Rest assured that Viktor is still hanging out in my mind (now with some new friends) and he will show himself from time to time!

[sfalrek]

Back in 2022 (apparently!) I was having a lil chat with a pal about good sneezes. And they were talking about how they'd love to see some of those "classic" lizardy/dragony types have a real wet and itchy-looking sneeze.

I agreed! And even went so far as to do the black-background thing with this one, goodness.
